Houses to Deadlock
In Port Bill Fight
by Holm's Studio.

WASHINGTON, May 14-PD-Threats Of a fill
ibuster in the senate against the S110,535,O27 house
rivers and harbors bill were encountered today with
warnings that the house would keep congress in session
this summer until the controversial measure is enacted.
Representative Tilson Of Connecticut, Republican
leader in the house, conceded that the report OF a move
to keep congress going until the bill is passed is a very
reasonable deduction"
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Michigan, who
is fighting a provision for the federal government to
take over the Erie canal in New York state, reiterated
that there would be "some long talking in the senate"
before "this Christmas Tree bill' got through.
Senator Copeland, Democrat, New York, and one
of the leading proponents Of the Erie canal provision,
replied that he too is ready to filibuster unless the bill
retains that provision.

BEACH SHOWN
ASTRIDE Two
PORT HORSES

Workers for the Valley deep
water port today were pointing out
that Gen. Lansing Beach. retired
army engineer, has evidently
changed his mind in fighting the
project; either he does not mean
what he said before the senate re-
Gently, or did not mean what he
said in Brownsville in 1914.
Many were wondering today what
caused him TO change.
II would like very much to have
them put the proposition up to me
for a deep-water harbor at Braz-
os Santiago" says a headline in the
June rs. 1914 issue Of The Browns
vile Herald, which quoted the then
Col. Beach. Photostatic copies Of
this ews story are being made by
interested parties in Brownsville 10
be used in their efforts TO get for
the Valley a deep-water port. No
longer in the army but now in the
employ Of the Arroyo Navigation
district, Gen. Beach is alleged TO
have recently said that there was
not enough tonnage in the Valley
Tor a port.
To Fight All His Life
Il do not think" The Herald
continued to quote Col. Beach in
1914, that Commodore Louis Cobo-
lini will have to fight all his life
for deep water at Brazos Santi-
ago" The staunch advocate for a
Valley harbor, Commodore Cobolini,
had Just said at the port" meeting
at the Country club that he had
worked 20 years for the harbor at
Galveston. IA years for the one at
Arkansas Pass. and that he expected
TO spend the remaining days Of his
life fighting for a port for the VAL
ley.
The story in the 1914 Herald con-
tinued to say that Brownsville and
Valley citizens we're jubilant over
the prospects for deep water for
the Valley following the statement,
though noncommital. by the army
engineer.
