BILL VOGT super-fisherman. Is
engaged in a season of tarpon
angling off Point Isabel.
E. H. McReynolds. assistant to
the president of the Missouri Pa-
cific Lines being familiar with the
nearby gulf waters and knowing
of Vogt’s prowess as a fisherman.
Induced Vogt to try it out on this
section of the coast.
No report was available from the
Vogt party aboard the John H
Sharv power launch during Sun-
day or up to early Monday morn-
ing.
Presumably the high winds of
Sunday were a fisherman’s mis-
fortune.
But they subsided somewhat to-
day. and perhaps there will be some
^action in nearby gulf waters with
Vogt operating the reel.
Some twelve vears ago R. B.
Creager. W. S. West and Dr. H. K
Loew of Brownsville tarpon fishing
In Brazos de Santiago pass made
a strike.
There were some hours of sport
with a big one. The party was so
busily engaged in watching the fish
they failed to observe the passing
shore.
Before they awoke to the fact
the big fish was well on his way
to Cuba—hook line sinker boat
Brownsville men and all.
Mr. Shary’s boat will be a little
fnore difficult to haul.

WHEAT PRICES
FALL BELOW $1
Timely Rains In Canada Are
Chief Factor Depress-
ing the Market
—
CHICAGO. May 27.— IAP» —
Wheat smashed downward today
to below $1 a bushel and on
some transactions went to 99' i
rents. Selling which had early
carried the market to $1 even
became more urgent about
dav and values gave way with a
rush.
CHICAGO. May 27.—<**—Wheat
dropped today to SI per bushel. Corn
land rye also hit new low-price rec-
ords. Timely rains in Canada were
the chief factor depressing the mar-
ket.
The drop from Saturday's low was
only fractional. After sinking to
$1.00 1-2 for a low mark of the sea-
son Saturday wheat had rebound to
finish at $1.01 1-4.
It was the first time wheat had
dropped to the dollar mark in six
years and the lowest level recorded
since July. 1923. when wheat sold
at $1.00 1-4.
The market had to contend with
weakness in Liverpool as well as
rains in the Canadian grain belt
and there was still the heavy carry-
over from 1928 to dispose of while
this year's harvest already has be-
gun to compete for the market.

Await Fort Worth
Endurance Fliers
- *-‘
FORT WORTH. Tex. May 27 —
c/Pt—Having added almost a full
day to the world's endurance flight
record. R. L. Robbins and James
Kelly eschewed the praise of an ad-
miring nation and slept today
while experts made a careful exam-
ination of their monoplane Fort
Worth which the two brought to
earth yesterday after soaring al-
most seven and cne-half days.
The two pilots one an ex-cow-
boy. the other a former railroad
mechanic added a new line to the
illustrious record which started
with the Wrights’ one minute flight
at Kitty Hawk in 1903 when they
kept the Fort Worth aloft through
rain. wind sunshine hail and
lightning for 172 houV. 32 minutes
and one second besting the record
of 150 hours. 40 minutes and 15
seconds set by the arVv monoplane
Question Mark by 21 hours. 51 min-
utes and 59 seconds.
Til? army plane had three mo-
tors. a crew of five men and an
expert ground crew. Robbins had
six years experience as a flyer but
Kelly came off the range only a
year and a half ago. and the course
in flying which he took technically
ended in April although hts skill
gave him a job with the Texas Air
Transport Corporation long before
that.
In spite of the fact that the two
youthful flyers had gambled by go-
ing aloft with a motor which had
run 500 hours after being discarded
by A1 Henley. It was as good as
ever when It returned to the
ground. Some of the adjustments
were worn but It could have run
for many more hours.
The two flyers divided credit for
the success of their flight. Kelly
pointed out that Robbins’ ability to
get the most out of the motor
without straining it was largely re-
sponsible for its performance. Rob-
1 bins attributed a large share of
their success to the lntrepidty of
Kelly who frequently crawled all
around the hood of the plane to
j grease the valve rocker arms. The
| Question Mark was brought to
i earth by valve trouble.
It was on one of these trips to
grease the valves that Kelly had
an accident which eventually forced
the plane down. A loose buckle on
j his safety belt got in the path of
the propellor and dented both
blades of the big wooden fan. Dur-
ing Saturday night’s rainstorms
moisture penetrated the scar on the
blades and caused the propellor to
j swell and split.
Split Propellor Blade
Shortly after noon yesterday the
pilots dropped a note saying the
propellor was vibrating badly and
they would have to descend soon.
They kept the plane in the air.
j however until a moment after 4 05
p. m. At that time they decided
