RAILWAY HEADS
END HEARING
Bus Line to Laredo May
Result In Sitting
At Brownsville

A railroad commission hearing on
the application Of Miller Pendleton
to establish a bus line on the Mill
tary highway between Brownsville
and Mission was concluded here
Monday noon.
The application was opposed BY
the Missouri Pacific Transportation
company. which operates a bus line
between the two points over High
way No. ~. and the Black Diamond
company which is seeking to estab-
lish a line over the military high
way also.
The hearing was conducted before
Chairman Pat M. Neff Of the rail-
road commission, Commissioner Lon
A. Smith and Mark Marshall, di-
rector Of motor transportation Mr..
Pendleton, a former Valley banker
who has been pioneering in Texas
bus lines for the past ten years with
headquarters in San Antonio, was
present with his attorney. Marshall
o. Bell of the firm Of Hicks. Hicks.
Dixon and Langley.
They pointed out the fact that the
Military bus line would connect at
Mission with the Union bus line
which operates between Laredo and
Mission. This line Is owned by Mr..
Pendleton, also. III granted permit
on the new line. the carrier would
service five border ports of entry
Laredo, Roma, Hidalgo, Rio Rico
and Brownsville.
The new line would make two
trips daily. with special shuttle ex-
cursions on Sundays to Rio Rico
and Hidalgo.
The proponents claimed their line
would be serving approximately 5000
people in a virgin territory in re-
futing the M. r. contention Of duph-
cation of facilities.
The line would be placed in oper-
alton about July 1 If granted the
permit. The NJ. P. contended that
regular service could not be main
tanned over the Military highway
in its present condition while the
proponents denied this.
The Black Diamond would eStab-
lish q line over the Military high
way but does not propose 10 do IT
until the road Is paved.

Restaurant Shooting

CHICAGO. June 16-tP-Another
North Clark street restaurant-the
Villa Rica IN the $500 block-saw
murder done early today when two
men. probably robbers, slew Christ
Petras, night manager.
Twenty persons witnessed the
shooting. They said two men en-
tered and engaged Petras in con-
versation owe the cigar counter.
Their talk may have been personal
or ii may have been a demand for
the restaurant receipts. Police are
not certain which.
Suddenly Petras' hand reached be-
low the counter and came up with a
pistol. He fired twice and missed.
One of the men snapped a gun from
his pocket and shot Petras down.
Among those who saw Petras shot
and the killers flee was his wife.
Within the past year there have
been several fatal shootings on
North Clark street.
