FLIERS PRIME
MANY KITES
Contest Crosses Rio Grande
In international Air
Contest Saturday

One more dayl
The probability that The Herald's
kite flying contest Saturday after
noon will assume international pro-
portions was indicated this morn
ing when announcement was made
that two entrants from Matamoros
would be on hand to try their skill
against the field OF boys and girls
in an effort to capture the gold and
silver prizes which are being award
ed by The Herald.
TWO Mexican youths from across
the river have constructed home
made kites along aviation lines,
closely following the outlines OF air
planes, and it IS quite probable that
these two kites will be seen In the
air when the contest starts tomor-
row afternoon at $3.50.
The owners of Riverside Park have
~cooperated with the kite contest
committee by having the crew Of
men and tractors placed mt work
leveling off the flying field. and
everything is in readiness for the
contest which viii result in the
naming Of both boy and girl kite
flying champions Of this section of
the state.
Several OF the prospective con-
testantS have taken advantage Of
the ideal flying conditions at Riv-
erside Park and have been prac-
ticing in the afternoons TO famil-
iarize themselves with the air cur
rents and velocities at the grounds,
as a result of which they hope 10
be favored over those who have
not taken advantage Of this pre-
liminary work.
Several OF the kite fliers are being
counSeled In their activities by
their parents. champions Of other
days. and while Saturdays meet is
for the younger generation only. II
is natural to expect that the kite
flying exhibited at Riverside Park
will show evidence OF expert coach
ing from older heads, coaching from
experts OF the days when kites
were whitfield from spruce and fir,
and when flour paste and the egg
white CLUES were used instead OF the
modern maSs-production kites which
can be purchased at every store for
nominal sums.
The contest Saturday is expected
to attract many adults.

VALLEY STARTS
BAMBOO TESTS
Ten Growers Will Plant
Giant Variety to Note
Adaptability
Especial to The Herald.)

DONNA, March IA. w. Monk,
secretary Of the Valley Agricultural
Workers club. has been notified BY
the Board of Plant Industry that
the ten names sent in for enough
giant bamboo for one quarter acre
each, will receive the plants ac-
cording to agreement.
These ten growers will receive the
plants within the next few days
and within another few years will
be able to furnish information re-
garding the adaptability Of this var
iety Of giant bamboo in the Valley.
In introducing this plant in the
Valley, a new variety has been Sc
lected which does not grow in close
clumpS, but springs up every four
or five feet, instead of in a cluster.
This habit of growth permits q
straighter and more desirable canes,
which are more in demand by air
plane manufacturers and the other
users of bamboo material, growers
say.

forgery and Of fraud and had received
a heavy sentence; Hardle was an ac-
! complete of his, perhaps sort of cats
paw; he was working out lighter
sentence. On a certain morning these
two men were out with a working
party which was in charge of two of
my most trusted warders, Millwaters
and Settle. The party was at work on
the edge OF the moor, near a high
road car came along, stopped near
the party. Smelling and Hardle sud-
denly made for it, and, though they
and 1T were fired on by the warders,
car and men got clean away. Although
the most exhaustive search was made,
! nothing was ever heard again of either
| men or car! Nor did most searching
inquiry at Southmoor yield any re-
suits as to the question-had any of
| the officials or warders been seduced
| into assisting in the escape? From that
day to this the whole affair has re-
manned an absolute and a most re-
markable mystery Personally, my dear
Anstie. have always felt that there
must have been treachery somewhere;
that somebody at Southmoor must have
been 1nveigled into assistance, for the
rescuing party was undoubtedly aware
OF the exact time and place at which
an escape could be attempted.
However, as I say, the thing has
remained an unsolved mystery all these
years, and have only remembered it
as dlsagreeable episode in my off,
clal career. But today, since arriving
IN this town, 1t has been brought back
to me by mere chance discovery. I
am now certain that the escape was
effected by bribing certain officials and
Warders and that the amounts so ex-
pended were large. Great scandal will
doubtless be raised by reopening of
the matter. but do not see how it can
be avoided-justice must be done and
discipline preserved and the wrong
doors brought to punishment. The cir
cumstances-I refer to what 1 have
since d1scovered-are so curious that
it is impossible to describe them in de-
TALL 1t is sufficient for me to tell you
That all the persons concerned are
at large and can be laid hands
on instantly. What I wish YOU
to do is to consult with your COL
leagues and with the home secre-
tary and to send some responsible
man down here at once with authority
to act. The resultant scandal refer
to the fact there was bribery-wiIl not
be edifying, but this is public duty
and must not shrink from my part
of it.
While awaiting reply from you,
am taking certain step. 1 have wired
this afternoon to the present governor
Of Southmoor, inquiring If there are
any warders there now who were also
there during my term of Office. If
there are. they would be of use here for
certain purposes-one of which is posi-
tive identification. I myself am, of
course, quite competent in that way:
still, two or three witnesses are better
than one.
IT am, my dear Anstie,
yours, sincerely,
MARTIN ENGLEDEN."
