TERRELL SEEKS
FLORIDA STOCK
SHIPPING BAN
Commissioner Backing
Proposed Law To
Aid Texas
Especial to The Herald.)

SAN BENITO, Feb. Tn view Of
the .act that ali Of Texas Is now
open to shipment Of citrus nursery
stock from Florida, Commissioner
of Agriculture George 3. Terrell is
proposing a new 'aw which would
bar Florida stock from the state, he
indicated In communication today
with j. Z. Bell, chamber Of COM
me. e secretary. He said that he
had place. the matter in the hands
Of representative Polk Hornaday OF
San Antonio. with the request that
the bill be brought "p during the
present legislative session.
Mr.. Terrell further called on the
South Texas Chamber Of Com
merce and nurserymen of the Low
er Rio Grande Valley to send tele-
grams at once to Governor Moody
urging his consideration OF the bill.
and he suggested that interested
Valley citizens cooperate by send
ing wires TO the governor.
The situation is acute, said Mr..
Terrell, since Florida citrus stock is
a'-eady in the Winter Garden dis
trict and the Laredo section. and
there is nothing to prevent 1t being
shipped into the Valley. The COM
missioner advised that the state
was wide open to shipments OF
Florida plants in response to a
query from the chamber OF COM
here. His wire read re-
straining order prohibits me from
interfering with delivery of citrus
nursery stock from Glen Saint
Mary's Nursery company anywhere
in Texas"
Bell discussed the matter with
Valley nurserymen and shippers. in
GLIDING John Fl. Shary, president
OF the Valley citrus Fruit Growers
Exchange, whose advice was that
the Valley continue its fight in the
matter. Mr.. Bell said that he would
discuss the situation with Valley
secretaries at their meeting tonight
at La Feria.
Warning was also issued to Valley
shippers by Terrell against the
shipment Of frozen citrus fruit
which has come to his attention
several times, he said.

CONFIDENCE
Ring BROKEN
One in Jail as Plan
To Clean Sucker
Goes Amuck

One man OF a confidence ring Is
in the Cameron county jail and
three others are on the hide-out fol-
lowing their attempt 10 make a
.rube" Of II. c. Hamilton, Browns
Vile visitor from Kansas.
Hamilton, who owns considerable
property, saw through the stock
exchange experts" scheme. but
played through his part OF "rube"
for the kick he got Of 1t and in or
der to turn the gang over to the
sheriff's department.
Much Money
The confidence men invited the
elderly man to sit in on their STOCK
market manipulations. In their
hotel room and with Hamilton pre-
sent. the experts devised various
plans and sent a man out to the
stock exchange 10 put through the
deal" Shortly afterward the man
would return with several thousand
dollars in cash which was supposed
to have been made off the trans
action.
This continued for some time and
the men began inviting Hamilton TO
ioin them in their get-rich-quick
game. The Brownsville visitor had
stationed a friend OF his in the lob
by OF the hotel 10 watch the man
who put through the deals" He
found out that the man did not go
near a stock exchange, but met an
other man and carried the sucker
Turing coins back 70 the hotel room.
Cautious
Hamilton allowed the affair TO
continue for several days but did
not put any OF his money into the
venture. When the gang got ready
for the big killing" Hamilton noti-
fled the sheriff's department. Three
of the men saw the officers APP
nroachinG and made their getaway.
TIL fourth man was caught, how
ever, and has been IN the county

vestigation.
He claims that he had no part
in the confidence ring" and be-
lieved. the deals were legitimate.
The men are wanted in San Anto-

man there.
