MANY JERSEY
TOWNS TODAY
Tell* of G. O. P. Plan
To Provide Job For
All Willing Worker*
In Newark Talk
By JAMES L. WEST
(Aawociated Press Staff Writer)
NEWARK. N. J. Sept. 18.—<*»>—
Herbert Hoover today had hia sec-
»nd taste of campaigning in the
East.
With a schedule that called for
stops in many towns in territory
claimed by his democratic opponent
the republican nominee after a
whirlwind tour through the suburbs
of Newark ard a speech in this city
spent the night at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas A. Edison in
Llewellyn Park West Orange.
Before and after a luncheon which
L’nited State* Senator Walter E.
Edge had arranged in this city for
republican leaders of the state.
Hoover's schedule today called for
his appearance in a dozen or more
suburban communities between
Hackensack and the state capitol at
Trenton. He returns to Washington
from Trenton by train. At Jersey
City the home of Mayor Frank
Hague one of the vice chairman of
the democratic national committee
the candidate was billed for a stop
of IS minutes.
The republican nominee’s first day
of eastern campaigning came to a
close in this city last night. After
a half day through cheering suburbs
— Montclair Bloomfield Verona.
Caldwell—where Grover Cleveland
was born—the candidate rode at fie
head of a great Jersey City proces-
sion to the armory of the 113th regi-
ment where he received wild ac-
claim.
There the republican nominee de-
rlared himself in favor of the ide il
of labor; of a full time job for ev-
ery person willing to work. He
criticised the democratic stand on
the tariff and immigration questions
a* possible handicaps in the attain-
ment of this ideal and told of the
various steps taken by the repub-
lican party in the last seven and a
half years in that direction.
The candidate appealed to an audi-
ence in which there were many rep-
resentatives of the so-called working
classes not to take a stand which
might throw their support to a
change of policy when he said the
nation’s industries were steadily
advancing toward labor’s dream of
constant employment for the work-
ing man.

MOTHER HELD
AS GIRL DIES
2nd Daughter to Die
Shows Traces of
Poisoning
UATESVILLE Tex. Sept. 18.—(A**
-Form:I charges of murder face
Mr*. Willie Fraxer of this city who*e
step-daughter Adeline Frazier died in
Mexia Friday under mysterioua cir-
cumstances just five months alter
her sister Callie had died of a
strange ailment in Texarkana.
Mrs. Frazer has denied repeatedly
that she had any connection with the
deuth. In the meantime chemists at
Baylor University Waco have re-
ported finding traces of poison in
preliminaiy examination of the or-
gans of the dead girl sent them for
analysis but have not made a final
report.
The first of the sisters to die suc-
cumbed to an unexplained illness
which lasted only four days. She was
living with an uncle near Texarkana.
Physicians advised an autopsy at the
time but relatives demurred because
of the expense and the coroner did
not consider the evidencs of poison
were sufficient to warrant such an
examination.
Adeline Frazer died Friday while
staying with an aunt in Mexia. Mrs.
Frazer formerly Miss Willie Terrell
came here from Tenessee about a
year ago and married the Leon Junc-
tion agent of the cotton belt rail-
road.
TEXARKANA Tex. Sept. 18.—(yPi
— Texarkana officers today started
an investigation of the death on
April 18 of Callie Frazer. 14 whose
sister Adeline 17 died suddenly in
Mexia Friday and whose vital or-
gans are being analyzed to determine
if she was a poison victim.
Authorities said there is a possi-
bility that the body of the younger
girl may be exhumed.

occurred about noon Saturday. July
7 and Stuckey immediately sur-
rendered to the officers.
According to the evidence of
Guadalupe Gonzales Stuckey enter-
ed the Arriaga home which consist-
ed c/ two rooms through the kit-
chen where she was preparing din-
ner. He passed into the living room
where Ricardo and two friends were
seated. A few minutes later she
heard a shot and looking through
the open door saw the second ehot
fired and Arriaga pitch 'orward
from the bed to the floor.
The witness stated she immediate-
ly made her exit through the kit-
chen door and rin from the house
hearing other snots which she did
not count as she ran.
Martin Galvan who was in the
room when Arriaga was slain stated
that an ‘•American” he did not know
entered the room from the kitchen
and after exchanging salutations
with Arriaga sat down in a chair.
There was no conversation he said
and a few minutes later tin Ameri-
can arose from th" chair and started
shooting at Arriaga about four feet
distant. He said that after the
shooting they went into the yard
where the American reloaded his
pistol and then returned to the
house and kneeling beside the body
of Arriaga placed his ear to Ar-
riagas chest to ascertain if th*» man
was dead.

Airport Hangar
Arrives; To Be
Erected Quickly
... "■■■
"The "Ideeo'* all-steel hangar for
the Brownsville Municipal airport has
arrived and will be put np as soon
as possible it was announced by Air-
port Manager Lea Mauldin Tuesday-
morning.
It was expected that the material
would begin moving from the rail-
road yards to the airport Tuesday
evening.
All preliminary work including
concrete flooring has been finished
machinery and material to be used in
erecting the hangar has been placed
on site by Homer L. Fitch Co. con-
tractor*.
The hangar which cost 117080 is
pf the latest design and particularly
well adapted to local circumstances.
Mauldin stilted.
It will be 80 by 100 feet and will
house six to nine planes.
COURT HOUSE
(Continued from page one.)
is approximately that depth there
now. He further discussed Ban Be-
nito's situation in regard to rail
connections with Point Isabel ex-
pressing the belief that San Benito
would soon have a rail connection
with the port there since the rail-
road now extends to within a short |
distance of it.
Chambers Replies
“The Valley has contributed to the
port at Point Isabel and I think it
should be finished first” he said. “I
believe the Arroyo ha* wonderful
opportunities a* a pleasure resort
and for small crafts. I think San
Benito will be able to derive much
benefit from it later if it connects
with the port at Point Isabel using
it for pleasure craft and light
barges.”
J. B. Chambers Sr. chairman of
the Arroyo Colorado port commis-
sion expressed doubt as to Point
Isabel having nine feet of water and
declared that 40 feet of water would
do no good where there was no traf-
fic for it.
He said that the port commission
of Harlingen ia to work up connec-
tions with shipping lines and derive
much benefit from the port there.
The statement that the Arroyo
district is to begin arousing inter-
est .in its project south of the Ar-
royo and that “all the territory
west of Harlingen is with us” also
featured the discussion on the pro-
ject.
Mr. Hinkley in discussing the pro-
ject said that if nine feet of water
is available at Point Isabel he would
like to' know why it is not used
without money being spent on other
projects. “Let’s wake up and see
what can do with nine feet of
water at Point Isabel with a port
commission before we spend any
more money at Harlingen to get that
depth there.” he said.
It was then that Mr. Chambers
raised a doubt as to there being nine
feet of water available at Point Isa-
bel.
Mr. j^omax of San Benito spoke
briefly on the project declaring that

“I don’t believe that either port will
ever do anything except lower the
freight rate.*’ He expressed the be-
lief that the ports would carry very
little actual tonnage and in regard
to the Arroyo project he said “1
am inclined to think that your ac-
tion will in some way hamper the
Point Isabel project. An immense
amount of work has been done by
the Valley on the port at Point Isa-
bel and if you have the same thing
to go through you have several year*
to go.
Thinks Fund Too Small
“Personally I believe the standing
of the port at Point Isabel is due to
R. B. Creaper.
“The sentiment of San Benito is
not antagonistic or opposed to the j
Arroyo project. It will prove as ben-
eficial to San Benito as to Harlin-
gen. You will not be hampered bv
the citizens of that community. I
am almost as much interested in!
Harlingen personally as I am in San
Benito.
“Personally I don't see how yoa
are going to build the port with the
amount •J' money you have on hand."
Mayor J. Scott Brown of San Be-1
nito in a brief talk said that he be- j
lieved San Benito sentiment favor-
ed Point Isabel’s port because people!
in San Benito doubted the feasibili- J
ty of the Harlingen project. He also
said that “most of the criticism .if
the Harlingen project which I have
heard in San Benito is based on the
statement that the report of General t
Beach has been kept secret."
Mr. Chambers replied to this state-
ment by saying that the report was j
printed in .the Harlingen Star all j
except references to maps and some j
other details.
Doubt was also expressed by San |
Benito people as to tbe ability of
the Arroyo district to get permit to
cut through Padre Island. Mr. Cham-
bers stated that they had taken step*
in this direction and anticipated no
difficult;’ in getting the cut. The
statement was made that the U. S.
army engineers were known to be
against such a cut. and Mr. Cham-
bers replied that “there are other
ways of getting across.”
Mr. Chambers said also in reply
to the question* about the funds on
hand being sufficient to dredge the
channel that it is estimated the jet-
ties will cost $300000 and that
whether the remaining funds of the
district are sufficient to care for the
dredging depends on the cost of
dredging per yard. He said that if
the work is held up further on ac-
count of suits and that if the cost
of dredging later is more than now
the district will require the bonds-
man of the plaintiff in the suit to
P»y the difference.
The expression that “the govern-
ment feels a moral obligation to fin-
ish a \ alley port" used extensively
b> the port committee in the interest
of the project at Point Isabel was
interpreted by Chairman Carl Woods
of the Harlingen meeting not to
mean specifically the Point Isabel
harbor but any Valley port. The
Point Isabel project committee is
said to have received the assurance
of the government tnat it felt a mor- I
al obligation to complete the work !
on account of the money expended'
by Valley people there but the state- i
ment was not construed in this man- '
ner by the Harlingen chairman last
night.
B. M. Holland in his opening talk
said that Harlingen is not asking
San Benito to come into its port dis
trict but wants its citisens to feel
an interest in the project there. "We
want San Benito people to feel that
it is just as advantageous to them at
to Harlingen.” he concluded.
Lloyd Thompson in his short talk
declared the proposed turning basin
site to be as close to San Benito
as to Harlingen. He said the inter-
ests of the city were the same and
that they should work together.
"Neither is burdened with profes-
sional politicians” he said; “they are
linked by a similar agricultural in-
terest and their citizenship is the
same.”
O. P. Storm of Harlingen said that
the Arroyo port was a private pro-
ject and declared “we are footing
the bill”
“I don’t see where it will interfere
with the Point Isabel project” he
said “ard we want to enlist the moral
support of your etty and put over
our port without Interfering with *
the other.” ^
Mr. Chambers said traffic could «P
be carried more profitably on nine
feet of water than on 16 bat "that
as soon as the deeper depth ia nec-
essary it will be there.**
The discussion at this stage took
a sudden turn from the port onto
matters of the parallel road on
which San Benito haa already ex-
pressed her stand being opposed to
it. at this time and to golf coarse*
between the two cities.
This dscussion terminated suddenly
when Fristoe threw the suggestion
about moving the court house with
Mr. Lomax's answer after a pro-
longed silence that "we don’t want
it.”
A resolution of thanks to the San
Benito people for their presence and
and frankness was passed and Mr.
Lomax thanked the Harlingen bus-
iness men for the invitation San Be-
nito citizens had received to attned
the gathering.
