should Bring Pressure

I. H. Stahl of Weslaco: II think
We should bring all the pressure TO
bear or the railroads that we can,
and carry this fight on TO compile
ton"
Louis White. San Benito: We
should get behind the farmers. We
can't hurt anybody except those who
are hurting US. The Rohstown Sec
ton Is now getting ready to start
moving beets, carrots, and cabbage
in large quantities. and the differ
ence in rates will make 1t hard on
us.
Witte said the Donna plant Of his
company will probably not be open
ed. unless there is a change in the
situation.
The shippers brought out that
many OF their number are short
hauling the two Valley railroads
where this can be done. The short
haul move was launched last sea-
son In protest against refusal OF
the Missouri Pacific and Southern
Pacific to join. with the Valley in
asking the 7. g. G. TO remove the
Robstown d~ifferential.
Most Of the shippers expressed
the belief that water transporta-
ton will help the situation.
The differential on inbound pro-
duce 10 the Valley was removed
years ago when the case was pre-
scnted BY r. G. Fullbright OF Hous-
ton. Fullbright never received al
the fee the Valley had agreed to
pay him.
The I. G. c. has since held hear
ings on the differential on out
bound produce. but removed only
a part Of It. The present higher
rates went into effect this season.

@. Now Mr.. Tyrell, proceed with
your explanation.
A. Parts OF some Of the notes

the change in writing.
Tyrell asked:

Yes. please" invited Lanigan.
The expert placed q black crayon
against a large white paper mounted
on an easel and wrote in script

Of the first note and Of the second.

@. Are you prepared to express
A. Yes.
@. What Is your opinion OF the
ransom writing and the Hauptmann
writings?
"A. That the writing is identical.
They were all written by the same
person.
Tyrell did not name Hauptmann
directly as the ransom writer as
previous experts have done.
Ransom Notes Examined
Tyrell testified he had examined
the ransom notes.

Wants Expert Rate Men
The opinions OF some OF them fol-
low:
w. Il. McDavitt. Brownsville: TIE
Valley should employ expert rate
men TO take its case before the In
terstate Commerce commission and
seek adjustments in rates. Some OF
the present rates are so high Is to
practically kill out the deal. such as
the rate on broccoli. McDavitt be-
licves that water transportation
will help the Valley get better land
freight rates.
Davis Wade, San Benito: The
Valley as a whole, business men
professional men, farmers, shippers
and others must unite and carry
this case through. The present
rates are entirely out Of line. Our
side has never been really present
ed to the L. c. G. and it must be
presented and pushed to secure re-
lief.
Wade explained that the Vale,
has passed from the development
period. when most OF its income was
derived from other sections, to thu
production period. when its income
is derived from the products Of It's
land, and said this income must bt
assured II the area Is to prosper.
We have passed from the indivi-
dualistic to the collective phase, III
said. and must work together X
obtain relief.
He pointed out that the rates nov
in effect are from SIS TO SIS a Cal
higher on produce to the New York
section. where half the nation'
consuming power Is located. anc
that this cuts the Valley off.
"1 think we should all get be.
hind the farmers in the move the,
have started" he said. Wade be-
lieves water transportation will hell
the situation greatly.
Frank Hall Of Mercedes: I'VE have
been in conference with the rail
roads from time to time in our ef'
fords to obtain lower rates, ant
nothing has come Of them. Certain
ly we should try TO get lower rate

JAP TRADE HIT
BYF|RESTONE

LOS ANGELES, April % (U.SO.
Japanese commercial competition
was described yesterday by Harvey
s. Firestone, head Of the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company, as a
menace which United States in
dustry must take into conSidera-
ton in formulating nearly all
future plans.
AS he prepared to leave for San
Francisco, Mr.. Firestone said:
Japan is flooding the United
States with rubber goods at
prices for which we cannot buy
the crude rubber. 1t is an actual
menace, requiring the attention
of those who make the tariffs.
What aid we have received from
that source is insufficient"
He declared the rubber industry
one of the nations most impor-
tant. and said:
"The rubber business fell to
60 per cent of normal in the de-
preston. Many other industries
went to 16 per cent.
"The country needs the rub
Der industry. When automobiles
are not selling so well, we still
supply tires to the cars that
continue to rum. Twenty-fOur
million automobiles require u.s."
AS for synthetic rubber, the
manufacturer said he was con-
WINGED that man lacks the ability
ito produce as cheaply as nature
can" He saw little hope Of the
United States becoming self7sup'
porting in rubber.

ANNAPOLIS, April 23.-The
mid-Victorian mansion in which
Maryland's governors live is going
to be remodeled in Colonial style
structure by the wife Of Gov.
Harry w. Nice.
Dull finished walls and dark
painted woodwork are to make
way for sunny windows and the
color of old ivory. There will be
a formal garden, in which new
trees will replace the old ones now
standing. The driveways will be
rebuilt and flowers and shrubs
will be planted. A conservatory
will connect the Governors office
in the northeast wing with the
main section of the mansion.
/ There will be 40 rooms on the
first floor alone and Mrs. Nice
plans three more bathrooms on
the third floor. Work is to be
started in June.

Horn BZowers Called
| Curse of the Age

To the Editor Of The Times:
I wish to join in heartily with
the sentiments expressed so well
by H. E. C. in yesterdays column.
Would that we might found an
organization of some sort opposed
to useless horn blowing.
1t seems as though the smaller
the car, the louder the horn. The
terrific blast that greetS the ear
at every turn makes ones nerves
as brittle as spun glass. 1 happen
to live on q we'll Travelled street
and the only way can get little
quiet at night is to stuff cotton
into each ear.
Now that nearly all motorists
must buy horns like the ones used
by buses for open road driving and
use them for summoning friends
from their homes, it might be we'll
for the police department to en-
force the regulations against the
needless blowing of horns. Many
time I have been tempted to
hurl something at a driver calling
for someone in the wee morning
hours and using his horn to an
nounce his arrival instead Of go
ing to the door as any sensible
person would do.
I say down with all loud horns,
which next to noisy radios is the
present curse OF our age.
Very respectfully, W. E. D.
