MARION TALLEY Kansas City |
opera singer has been offered a
farm in the Lower Rio Grande Val-
ley. according to the Hidalgo News.
The paper fails to reveal the de-
tails of the offer but says:
“Acting on the idea that no place
' in the world offers more opportuni-
ties for successful farming than the
Magic Valley of the Lower Rio
Grande parties interested in up-
building the section wired Miss
Talley an attractive offer which
they hope may bring the talented
artist to the Tip o’ Texas where
she can grow grapefruit vegetables
and flowers to her heart's content.”
m * »
This 22-year-old girl after a
short career during which she at-
tained considerable fame has an-
nounced a desire to return to the
farm.
A suggestion made by a reader
3 of this column about the time Miss
Talley announced her intention to
retire may yet result in the singer
making her home in this section i
The suggestion was made by C. R. !
■ Klose of Rio Hondo and was print- j
•) ed in Our Valley on April 15.
f “Surely our wonderful climate
r and fertile soil will meet the de- !
sires of this young woman for a ;
tjuiet and peaceful life” he wrote |
ic with the hope that the attention j

rr* the Valley

h The reaction of Miss Talley to
^ the Valley offer will be observed

THE DEER PARK at Alamo re-
mains a problem to the new city
| commission of that place.
Last week through the Alamo
News they asked for an expression
i of opinion from the public as to
i whether the animals being kept in
a city park w’ere valuable enough
as an advertisement to justify the
expense of their “board and bed.”
In response to this request 14
votes all against the deer were
. ‘ polled.
i Now the commission wonders if
those 14 votes are representative of
public sentiment and are circu-
lating a petition attempting to
learn the truth.

ambulance surgeons and at hospi-
tals. Twenty persons however suf-
fered fractures ranging from arms
and legs to spines and skulls and
were taken to hospitals for emerg-
ency treatment.
For hours after the collision even
after the wreckage had been cleared

tives or friends they believed might
have been on one of the trains.

HALTS VALLEY:
Letter From Terrell
Says Federal Quar-
antine Would Make
Texas Law Void
WASHINGTON April 29.—(>Pi—
The senate today passed the house
bill making $4520000 immediately
available for combatting the Med-
iterranean fruit fly in Florida.
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO April 29.—Possibil-
ity that the quarantine against Flor-
ida decreed by the United States de-
partment of agriculture may inter-
fere with the permanent quarantine
against products of that section to
be sought by the Valley was seen
in a letter reecived by J. E. Bell
manager of the San Benito Cham-
ber of Commerce.
Bell is a member of the commit-
tee of three appointed to draft the
bill and have it introduced before
the legislature. Other members of
the group are L. E. Snavely Har-
lingen citrus grower and T. M. Mel-
den manager of the Texas citrus
fruit growers exchange with office
at Mission.
The letter is from George B. Ter-
rell head of the Texas department
of agriculture and states that the
federal quarantine now in force will
take precedence over any state quar-
antine. This ruling has been up-
held in the courts Terrell informs
Bell.
Members of the committee had
planned to go to Austin for a con-
ference Wednesday with Terrell and
a representative of the attorney gen-
! eral’s department at which the bill
' declaring a permanent quarantine
was to be drafted. A meeting will
be held some time Monday by these
three men to discuss further action.
It is possible they will go to Aus-
tin as planned and seek a way
to enforce a local quarantine.
Several counties including Webb
have asked to be included in the
territory of the proposed permanent
embargo.
Terrell in his letter said he had
called a meeting of interested par-
ties for May 10 in Austin to dis-
cuss action to be taken by Texas
to ward against infestation of the
Mediterranean fruit fly. He said
Texas had prepared a quarantine
against Florida but held it up when ;
: the federal embargo was declared.

NEW YORK. April 29.—UP>—Po-
lice sought today to identify the
charred of r young woman in ef-
forts to solve the third “torch slay-
ing” in the metropolitan area with-
in 14 months.
The body was found Saturday in
a clump of woods on the Edwards
estate between Scarsdale and Ards-
ley in Westchester county by Joseph
Selvey a steam fitter's helper of
White Plains N. Y.
The victim was apparently about
20 years old. five feet four inches
tall and weighed 110 pounds. An
autopsy indicated she had been
strangled before being set afire.
A quart milk bott’’ with a few
drops of I ore re in it was found
near the body. A towel which had
been saturated in the liquid was
wrapped about the head. A man's
handkerchief also having an odor of
kerosene was found nearby.
A square of cretonne evidently
part of a house dress was under the
body. This and a pair of stockings
were the only articels of clothing.
A bundle of women’s clothing was
found in a ditch two miles from
where the body was discovered.

Second Storm In 4
Days Strikes South
Claiming One Life
CAMDEN S. C.. April 29.—f^P)—
The second tornado to swoop down
on South Carolina in four days
took one life and injured 14 persons
near here yesterday.
Nora Murphy negress. was killed
and 14 white persons injured.
The tornado first struck at the
west wateree section where four
houses were wrecked.
The twister next struck Camden.
Trees were uprooted and damage
done to a greenhouse.
At Antioch the high school build-
ing and another building were dam-
aged.
r* uen. j-iuiisuig n. icpiesciii.-
ed the applicant sand Major Rufus
W. Putnam representing the San
Renito-Point Isabel Navigation dis-
trict spoke for the opposition.
The Brownsville Navigation dis-
trict was not officially represented
at the hearing but that district two
weeks ago forwarded a lettr to Ma-
jor Fox in which it stated that no
formal prootest of the Arroyo dis-
trict application would be made.
The letter set out however that
any move which would interfere
with the development of a deep
water channel at Brazos Santiago
pass would be opposed by the dis-
trict.
Beach Discusses Tides
The hearing was held in the as-
sembly room of the city hall and
lasted 45 minutes. About 150 per-
sons attended. .
The application for the permit
w'as made in connection with plans
of the Arroyo Navigation district
to dredge a deep water channel up
the Arroyo Colorado t othe Mis-
souri Pacific bridge near Harlingen.
Gen. Beache discussed principally
the question of whether the pro-
posed channel across Padre island
would affect the tide in and out
of Brazes Santiago pass.
He declared the tide coming
through the pass never reaches
more than eight miles above Bra-
zos Santiago and that the proposed
cut would have no effect on the
tide there.
The cut would be an aid to fish-
ing by providing fresh water in the
Laguna Madre. BeaCh declared. In
support of this he read a letter
from the Texas state gam:; fish
and oyster commission approving
application for the cut.
Putnam Says Cost High
He also pointed out the proposed
cut would be only one-tenth the
Size of the pass at Brazos Santiago
and claimed that because of this it
would make very little difference
in the tide.
Tue new cut would l'.t an addi-
tional volume of water into Laguna
Macro and during nerthers this
would send more water out through
Brazos Santiago pass thus helping
to scour the channel at that point
he said.
The proposed cut is economically
unsound Major Fctnarn declared.
The money necessary to dredge
the proposed channel is nedeed to
provide land facilities for the Val-
ley-wide port he contended
“To dredge a nine-foot channel
from the gulf to the mouth of the
Arroyo Colorado across Padre
Island and Laguna Madre a dis-
tance of eight miles would cost
$700000” the representative of the
San Benito-Point Isabel district
said.
“Maintenance of this portion of
the project alone would cost $75-
000 per year and this does not in-
clude the cost of maintaining the
more than 20 miles of channel pro-
posed from the mouth of the Arroyo
to the Harlingen turning basin.”
A 16-foot channel across tiie
island and to the mouth of the ar-
royo woul dcost $3200000 Major

SPOUSEHEARS'
WIFE URGING
ATTACKER ON
‘Hit Him Once More to
Be Sure’ Wife Urge*
As Lover Club* Her
Husband
MADISON Wis. April 29.—ex-
changing "not guilty" pleas to
guilty Mrs. Rose Pope 30 and
Philip Kolster 26 were sentenced
to serve 20 years each in the Wis-
consin state prison by Superior
Court Judge S. G. Schein here to-
day. They pleaded guilty to as-
sault with intent to commit murder
after an attack on Mrs.
husband John 38 near here Sat-
urday night. . |
Pope survived the attack re-
covered consciousness in his farm
yard while his wife and her com-
panion had gone for an automo-
bile to remove the body and noti-
fied authorities. He told of lying
partly unconscious after the attack
and hearing his wife urge her com-
panion to “give him one more to
make sure.”
Mrs. Pope met Polster about a
year ago when he visited on a near-
by farm. The authorities said she
arranged a meeting with him In
Madison on Saturday evening when
she came here with her husband.
She left her husband on the pre-
tense of shopping she told the au-
thorities met Polster. and gave
him the key to the Pope home In
which he concealed himself to
await the couple’s return. Mrs.
Pope said that when they arrived
at home she entered the house'
while Pope put away the automo-
bile. Polster armed with a wooden
mallet and a mixture of battery
acid and linament was inside.
Acocrding to the stories of thd
trio Polster dashed the acid In
Pope’s face as the latter entered
and then struck the blinded man
over the head with the mallet. Mrs.
Pope said Polster struck her hus-
band twice more as he fell then
she and Polster dragged her hus-
band’s body into the farm yard
where Pope partly recovered con-
sciousness to hear his wife urging
Polster to strike again.
Polster Pope said felt his pulse
and decided he was still alive so
struck him again with the mallet.
Mrs. Pope asked Polster if her
husband were dead and told him to
hit the partly conscious man again
“to make sure” Pope told the
authorities. Pope said the couple
left after saying they expected to
obtain a car to dispose of his body
and after a time he fully regained
consciousness and made his way to
a store a quarter of a mile away.
Deputy sheriffs arrested the
couple after they had returned to
the farm home to find their vic-
tim gone. ^
