i Phonograph with
Dallas, Aug. 19.—Virgil Oliver
Stamps, 48, known widely over the
Southwest as leader of the Stamps
Quartet, died Monday of a heart
ailment.
Stamps entered a hospital
a week ago.
He was
near Gilmer, in
W. (). Stamps,
sawmiller, and
inembor of the Texas
and state jirison board.
In his early boyhood Virgil O.
Stamps, attending a singing conven
tion, heard a quartet for the first
time. He resolved to learn to sing.
That resoultion was later to make
his name one of the most widely
j known among lovers of quartet sing-
| ing.
Scarcity of music teachers’ forced
the youth to study singing from
books be might pick up in his na-
tive piney woods section of Texas.
In 1924 he published a book of
his songs, which still is in print.
In 1926 he took as a partner one
of the country's outstanding mu-
Iririans, J. R. Baxter. They formed
'the Stamps Baxter Music Company.

tempts to land aims for a political
revolution, stopped the American
freighter Herman Frasch off the Pa-
cific coast of Acapulco today.
An informed official said the ves-
sel was “detained for only a few min-
utes and is now on her way again."
Acapulco is in the state of Guer-
rero’, a stronghold of General Juan
Almazan, independent who claims'
election to the presidency over the
administration favorite, General
Manuel Avila Camancho,
bulent July 7 elections.
Officially, the government was
silent this afternoon on the ship de-
tention, but it was learned authori-
tatively that “Mexico is watching
the coast, particularly Guerrero, to
prevent any trouble.”
It was also explained that Mexico
was cooperating with the United
States in watching the coastal areas
because of “the present disturbed
state of affairs in the world.”
There has been numerous
ports, none confirmed, that German
submarines had been sighted in Mex-
ican waters.
Today a newspaper published a
report a German submarine report-
edly had taken a load of mercury
cn tho Atlantic coast, but observer*
discounter! the rumor, saying Spain
long had been a chief supplier of
mercury, and that its supplies would
doubtless, be available to Germany.
