LOVERS FUSS
CAUSES DEATH
61-Year-Old Man Admits
He Killed Sweetheart,
Woman of AZ

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June %.
Rp-Daniel w. Nield, ~6l-year-old
gardener, was booked on suspicion Of
murder early Friday in the Staying
of his sweetheart, Miss Frances
Conklin, AZ, a Hollywood steno-
grapher.
Climaxing an investigation that
began Thursday night with the
discovery Of the woman's bullet
torn body in a secluded spot near
the Griffith Park bride path, De-
tective Lieutenants Roy Hurst and
Ray Giese said the elderly gardener
had confessed the Staying.
His story, the detectives said, told
of a picnic that ended in a lovers
quarrel when Nield accused Miss
Conklin Of mot loving" him.
The couple. accompanied by the
woman's 84-year-old mother, Mrs.
Maria Conklin, were on a picnic in
the park where Miss Conklin was
shot. Leaving the mother alone,
the two sauntered off together. The
quarrel and the shooting followed,
the detectives said.
1T is like a nightmare" Nield
was quoted as saying. Il shot her
once, twice, I don't know how many
times. Then I ran away"
Miss Conklin had been shot twice
in the chest and once IN the alb
domen.
The aged mother. abandoned in
the park and taken to her home
by a stroller, did not know Of her
daughters death until early Friday.
Officers said that after the shoot
ing Nield went to the home Of a
brother who persuaded him to
surrender.

support Of the centennial On the
first roll call. Dies. Representatives
West and Kleberg manned the
doors and instructed those rep
reSentatives who hurried from their
offices how to vote.
During the addresses the Tex
ans slipped over to the republican
side TO straighten out a potential
tangle and pleaded with the minor
lty party quietly to keep their
sincere opposition to a minimum.
The debate was serious but not
without its humor.
A republican pleading for reduc-
ton Of government expenditures
recalled that Representative Thom-
as Blanton once had said $780, 600
was enough for any celebration.
The Texans contended all the
time that the resolution they were
debating was merely an "authoriza-
ton" for the centennial fund and
the actual appropriation" would
have to be ordered and the ap-
preparations committee, headed by
Chairman Buchanan OF Brennan,
could be trusted to protect the con-
gress and the government.
Yes. but why pass the buck to
'Buck'?" someone asked.
There was no retOrt.
Another republican complained
The resolution permitted the gov
eminent to spend the money for
almost anything 1t wanted and re-
marked:
why, this resolution is so wide
open you drive a pair OF Texas
Streers clear through it!".
Still another averred that the
Texas delegation was NATURALLY
composed Of good h~orsetraders" and
he felt sure they asked for 5000 lO0O
originally in hope they could get
half that amount.
During the debate, Senator Tom
Connally wandered into the cham
Der and talked with old friends on
botE sides Of the house. It was not
apparent whether he was trying To
help swing the tide.

Preparing For The Centennial

Brownsville club women believe that there are other
ways in which their city may prepare for the Texas
Centennial than By raising money for a Valley ex-
hibit At Dallas. though they give their fun support
70 that project.
They believe that II the Valley. II Brownsville. are
to receive the fun benefits Of Centennial advertising
and OF the side trips from the Centennial that are
bound TO come this way, We must be prepared TO Of
fer our visitors a Valley beautiful. a Brownsville
beautiful.
AS the first step in their program for a Brownsville
beautiful they have petitioned. and are joined in the
petition by many other citizens OF the city. the city
commission TO do something about loose chickens.
promiscuously tethered horses. burros and goats. and
garbage handling facilities.
No citizen Of Brownsville but will agree with the
general premise on which the petition sponsored BY
the Civic League is based. All will agree without
argument that ponies have no business in the world
being tethered on Elizabeth street in such a manner
that they can walk across the sidewalk. We think
that all will agree that a flock OF chickens running
loose is just about the last word in things that ex-
asperate. And certainly none will argue but that
failure TO confine garbage and refuse in a tight con-
tainer leads to unsanitary conditions.
With some OF the details OF the program proposed
by the league there may be argument. but broad
basis Of the petition as admitted to the coy com
mission is certainly sound and deserving not only Of
consideration. but OF action.
Brownsville. with a population OF 5000. is getting
out Of the small town class and we all hope viii
rapidly emerge into the big city class within the near
future. We are daily asking and hoping for tourist
visitors, and certainly We desire to impress these
visitors as they come among us.
Any step, such as proposed by the civic league, is
o step in the right direction. and 1t appears that city
regulations satisfactory 70 all concerned may be work
ed out. causing hardship to no one and yet satisfying
the spirit Of the requests made in the petition spon-
sored by the league.

Floodlights for Tucker Field

Many and many the residents OF Brownsville that
has regretted his or her inability to attend the foot
ball games played here every fan, and many is the
high school student who has been deprived Of what
should be the right OF every student-to cheer the
team to victory or in defeat. all because the games
have been played in the afternoon when they could
not attend.
Recognizing the situation, the Brownsville Kiwanis
club took the matter in hand and is now engaged
In dispoSing OF a $4,000 bond issue, proceeds from
which will be used to f~oodlight Tucker Field and al
low night games. While the maturity date OF these
bonds has been set at 5 years. it is confidently ex-
pected that they will all be paid off within a less
period of time. and this belief is borne out by the
experience Of other Valley communities who have
taken this same method Of providing night football.
Response to the sale OF the bonds. issued in SO
denomination. Is good. and II appears that night
football Is assured for Brownsville for this coming
fall.
