EDINBURG, Sept. IAN open
forum on the proposed Lower BIO
Grande Water Conservation District
on which the voters OF Cameron,
Willacy, Starr and Hidalgo coun-
ties will pass Thursday was held IN
the district court room Monday
night.
The opposition. led by c. II. Swal-
low, Alamo land man. presented four
speakers after proponents OF the dis
tTict had stated their case. the first
Of the series of anti" speakers be-
ing Grade Galloway OF Edinburg.
Galloway opposed the district be-
cause OF the tax.
Looney Opposes.
j. G. Looney, Edinburg. said 4
am ordinarily progressive but am
opposed TO the district because ]
do not think that the Valley should
bear the entire burden alone and
that other developments up the
river should pay their share"
ID. c. Earnest, Edinburg, could not
see why the matter could not be
handled by congressman and other
representatives in Washington and
said that the $4,000 which would
be raised by the district in Hidalgo
county would buy lots OF things for
Hidalgo county taxpayers.
Swallow was last Of the opposition
speakers and said that although
some OF the best minds in the Valley
were back OF the district that the
best minds some times are wrong.
He denounced the district as a VII
lacy county land selling scheme by
asking for water for new lands.
He declared that the question had
not been up for discussion long
enough. that the proposed district
is organized under the same law as
regular irrigation districts and
therefore a issue bonds, that II
would interfere with the rights Of
the individual, that 1t would add
taxes, that If the government will
not build dams that the district
would float bonds TO finance them,
that overproduction would come
about If the district is formed. that
the district would control irrigation
water at the source. and that city
and floating populations would vote

Better Crop Prices.
He said y { 1t would be better 10
suffer a shortage OF water and loss
Of crops because the grower then
would get a better price for what is
left.
Chairman K. G. Couch replied that
although the tax feature appeared
to I've the worst thing about the
proposed district he thought II wa:
worth many times the proposed tas
because II would amount TO "ln-
surance for the future of the Val
ley"
He said that the county had al
ready reduced taxes and hoped tc
f, reduce them still more and that
the levy was small in comparison
with the cuts which had been made
or which 1t is proposed to make.
One water shortage would cause
a greater loss in a single HidalgC
county community than the whole

CALLS BIDS ON ROAD
SURFACE TREATMENT
Highway Antitrust Program Is
Plan of state Head.

Highway Antitrust Program Is
Plan Of state Head.
Adopting two-way program in
his anti-dust campaign, John
Brown, director of the state high
way commission, today announced
he will readvertise for calcium chic
ride and seek bids on low type oil
June 1.
The proposal is in line with the
departments leaning toward use of
oil on gravel roads, despite the pro-
testation Of motorists who annually
complain of oil and gravel that
cling to autos.
Brown recently rejected all bids of
calcium chloride representatives
when nine bidders submitted figures
Of $26,500 a ton on 5000 tons of the
chemical.
In recent years the oil interests
have increased the mileage Of their
product, making deep inroads into
the use Of calcium chloride.

TYPE WRITER is
INSPECTED BY
BROOKS JURY
Use Machine Supposed to
Have Written will Drawn
Up in 1880.

Jurors turned stenographers in
probate court today and, by the
hunt and punch" method, operated
q typewriter that is supposed TO
have written the last will of Bar
tholomew D. Brooks, Indianapolis
business man.
The jury was called upon to per-
form this unusual service by attor-
neys for two charity organizations
seeking to kill the 1890 will in favor
Of another 1922 document, which
awarded them 100000 Of Brooks
estate.
One linber-hngered juror sur
prised a crowded court room with
his stenographic ability and did not
stop tipping until he had written
the entire 1880 will.
Institute Tipping Process
Another. less agile with the keys,
labored tediously to complete a
paragraph on the typewriter be-
longing to attorney A. F. Zainey,
counsel for Robert Hackney, bust
ness aid Of Brooks, who shared
largely in the last will.
The tipping process was instituted
by plaintiffs TO prove the 1880 will
is a fraud and was not typed by
Brooks, an inexperienced typist,
as defense has set out in the case.
Contention Of the charity groups,
the indianapolis Home for Aged
Women and the Indianapolis chap
ter, American Red Cross, is that the
perfectly typed will dated 1880,
could not have been typed by
Brooks in zaineys Office.
Contention Borne Out
Irregularly typed and bIotted
pages which the jurors turned out
today bear out this contention,
plaintiff attorneys commended.
Friends Of Brooks during his last
years appeared as witnesses for the
defense this morning, all testifying
that Brooks was of sound mind
when the 1880 will was executed.
Attorneys for the charity groups
have contended Brooks was of IN
sound mind during his last days.
Witnesses today included: Frank
Wright, Denison hotel; A. P. Bode.
Standard Oil Company employe;
Lewis H. ColVin, 329 East Fall Greet
boulevard; Omer Farley, 1920 Tcis-
ner avenue, an employee of Brooks,

Noted Collection
 Presented To Yale
=Schuchert Collection of Fossils Given to Peabody
 Museum By Retired Professor

never gave up the hope which he just brought to reality by privately purchasing the collection to present to the Pc ,body Museum at Yale.
 Tn making this gift" Professor R.S. Lull, director of the Peabody Museum, said today. Profess pr Schuchert has been stimulated hy two motives, first, the desire to pre- serve the collection intact as a monument to his old friend; and sec ond, to increase the Yale collections in invertebrate paleontology to the greatest possible point of usefulness
 Braun was one of the last ola- time collectors of fossils and there remain bat few, if any, other great private collections such as his. Yale is fortunate indeed to possess it, and Peabody Museum is likewise fortI- nate to have so staunch a friend as Professor Schuchert, whose latest act of generosity is but another eXpres. sion of the spirit that characterized his administration of the museum fo, many years before his retirement ir 1923.'
 In 1929 the Academy of Science awarded Professor Schuchert the Hayden Memorial Geological medal an honor given once in three years for re-eminent research in geology | palento!ogy and their related sciences. At commencement las year Yale University conferred up on him t,.e honorary degree of Doc
 tor of Science. In presenting hin i for the degree, Professor William
 Lyon Phelps, as public orator. des
 cribed h.m as "one of the most dis
 t;nguished scientists of Yale, in tn
 front rank of paleontologists, an'
 the worlds leading authority ol
