By United Press
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 6.-Rep-
reSentative Harry Wurzbach of Sc
gum, the only Republican congress-
man in Texas, died today at a local
hospital from the effects of an OPP
Grafton for appendicitis.
Wurzbach represented the Four
tenth congressional district in

He was operated on for appen-

He was the third Republican con-

elected for more than two terms.
With Democratic victories in cleo
tons this week making the lineup

POLICE CHARGE

FOR PLUMBERS
Helper Held; Confession of
$3.50 Payment for Card
Is Claimed.
GRAND JURY PROBE ON
Discovery of Forged Name
Leads to Search for
Men Higher Up

With one man already arrested,
city officials today probed further
into activities of group of pro-
motors, alleged to be conducting a
license MILL" issuing fake licenses
to plumbers.
William Hurd, city building COM
missioner, who is assisting Detec-
tiveS Edward Tut and Edward Jor-
dan in the investigation, announced
that Felix Kannewurf, plumbers
helper, now in Jail, has admitted
accepting $3.50 from local plumb
ing worker for a fraudulent journey
mans license.
Kannewurf was released today
under $4,000 bond and it became
known that the Marion county
grand jury is scanning evidence in
the case.
Unofficial Board"
Detectives charge this license was
issued by an unofficial plumbing
board. They expect soon to appre-
bend several others connected with
the fake enterprise.
The investigation was started
when Joseph Swain and Larry OAR
nell, city plumbing inspectors,
found worker on the War Memo
rial project in possession of 1880
journeymans card, not renewed this
year.
Comparing it with official cards,
they found the name of Miss Mar
garet Kern, plumbing board secre-
tary, had been forged, Hurd said.
Claim Confession
The worker explained that he had
paid Kannewurf $3.50 for the card
and license. Detectives arrested
Kannewurf upon this information,
Hurd declared, and obtained his
confession.
Kannewurf, who is believed mere
ly to have collected the money and
delivered the fake license, has men
toned others alleged to have super
vised the enterprise, according to
police.
In his confession, Kannewurf,
who is not connected with the city
administration in any way, is said
to have admitted that he collected
$3.50 for the license, for which he
was to receive a license for himself.
Detectives reported they found
Kannewurf had no license, and that
he explained this by saying higher
ups in the enterprise gave him SIS
cash for his services, instead of the
license"
To Avoid Examination
Chief point in the scheme was to
avoid taking a rigid examination
required by the official plumbing
board before it issues licenses.
An applicant may obtain city
license by applying to the board,
paying SIS to the city controller and
taking an examination. The license
is issued when the applicant sue
cessfully passes the examination
and pays an additional SIS for his
card.
Members of the official city
plumbing board who are directing
the probe are: Joseph Clark, Frank
Irish, Oscar Stoehr, H. B. Morgan.
health board officer, and Commits
sioner Hurd. This board meets
once each month to issue licenses.
