TAYLOR HUS i
PORT BACKERS
flackers of the Brownsville port!
project are supiiorting the project
Jor -what they can pick up out ot
it* Judge Volney Taylor charged
at a meeting held by the adherents
of the Bennett-Smith-Singer tick-
et at the El Jardin schoolhouse last
night.
Judge Taylor illustrated his point
by telling the story of the boy
who was willing to work m a gen-
eral store without wages “just for
what he could pick up around the
store.” '
“Yates Rentfro and Cole they
are attorneys for the district and
have had no fees set they want to
pick up those fees.
“Cummins he is the engineer and
wants to pick up his fees.
-Fernandez he is a banker and
wants this money to put in his bank.
“Is there any' reason why if the
old board Is re-elected John Fer-
nandez would not resign from the
board and thus make his bank eli-
gible to become the depository for
the district?” Taylor asked
The meeting was (ailed to order
bv Paul Usher who introduced E. I.
Buckltn of Los Fresnoe as chairman
of the gathering of about 70 per-
son*.
No Mexican Tonnage
Judge Taylor who was the first
speedier. opened his remarks by re-
calling that lor years there had
been jus; one port a Valley port at
Port Isabel mentioned in all the
port agitation in this section.
With the formation of the various
navigation districts the Browns-
ville port project was born the judge
stand I am not wilting to aban-
don the Brownsville port project
some dav we may be able to afford
it” the speaker said.
Claims that Mexican tonnage
would come through the Browns-
ville port were strongly attacked by
Ta vho again cited the dolma
made bv C L. Jessup in previous
meetings that Corpus Christ! is get-
ting no Mexican tonnage.
Industries would not come to the
Brownsville port. Judge Taylor
claimed. It takes time tp build ports.
W'here are the peoplr who will come
here to help build the Brownsville
port'” he exclaimed.
Referring to statements made at
port meetings by Harbert Daven-
port to the effect that John Fer-
nandez is the only man who can
get the port loan from the RFC.
syloi .1 • ■; it Mr Fernandes
is the only man who can get it.
what will he do with it when he
does get it?"
One Port Advocated
At that point lie made the infer-
ence that Fernandez would resign
from the navigation commission so
that his bank might become the
depository for the district.
N. G Cofer. Brownsville attorney
followed Judge Taylor.
"One man got his hands on $300-
000 of our money and up in Houston
thev are saying he us crazy. What
would the] do with a million and
a half or two million dollars!" "‘of-
er exclaimed
Claiming that to retire the $3500.-
(100 naviga ion district bond issues in
ea-e the bonds were sold $7780.0000
«ld be paid out. Cofer stated that
ould take four men 7.780.000
i ai ruirent wages to earn
igh money to pay off the bond
issues.
"Think of your homes” he said.
Otis Singer one of the candidates
urged that the Valley concentrate
on one pt.t at Port Isabel until
Mich time as it appeared the
Brownsville port was needed.
Claims that industries would come
to the Brownsville port were laugh-
ed at b\ J. C Bennett another can-
didate.
Bennett cited an incident at Law-
ton Okla where tie claimed a re-
finery refused to locate within the
citv iimits on account of the taxes
and built outside to evade taxes.
The city extended its limits *.o
take in the refinery so a' to get the
taxes and the refinerv closed up.
Bennett stated.

CARRIES ALL-BRAN
ON EVERY VOYAGE
Seaman Finds This Delicious
Cereal Relieves Constipation
Here is an unsolicited letter from
Mr. Darragh:
“I have been going to sea for the
past fourteen years. Every trip I
underwent severe headaches ner-
vousness and sleeplessne*. Tried all
sorts of remedies and received only
temporary relief.
“So hearing about Krllogg’s All-
Bran thought I would get a box
which I did. That was six months
ago haven’t been without it at
home and when I go to sea a box of
Kellogg’s All-Bran is always with
me.-'—Georg© D. Darragh 1914
32nd Avenue Oakland California.
Tests show All-Bran contains
two things for common constipa-
tion: “Bulk” to exercise the intes-
tines; vitamin B to help tone the
intestinal tract. All-Bran also
supplies iron lor the blood.
The “bulk” in All-Bran is much
like that of lettuce. Inside the body
it forms a soft mass which gently
clears the intestines of wastes.
Bow much pleasanter this is than
taking pills and drugs — so often
harmful. Two tables poonfuls of
All-Bran daily will correct most
types of constipation. If not re-
lieved this way see your doctor.

SOMEBODY IS MISTAKEN
about the port of Corpus Christ
and its Mexican tonnage.
One s.de claims that Corpus
Christi s port is handling no Mexi-
can tonnage.
Cites letters to prove it.
And yet—
Just yesterday afterrn .'. R. J.
Cummins talked with a Corpus
port official—
Who stated that Mexican ton-
nage was being handled through
I the port there—
And a Brownsville citisen who
was in Corpus Christi recently—
Says that he was told the same
! thing.
Somebody is clearly mistaken.

THAT INDUSTRY DOES FLOCK

Valley this very day by the pres-

These men arc planning a ter-

pany.
That terminal will be at Port
Isabel—unless Brownsville decides
next Tuesday to go ahead with its
port project.
In that event—that terminal
might be in Brownsville.

MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK Dec. 2— IP)— The
stock market quietly receded today
civing up much of yesterday s ad-
vance.
It was one of the dullest session*
©f the year however and few
losses were much In excess of a
point. With such economic un-
certainties impending as the war
debt situation and other problems
confronting the congress session
convening next week the tendency
even among professional traders
was to let the market drift. The
list stiffened a little toward mid-
day but the price movements
were of a decidedly indecisive char-
acter.
Case after losing as much a* j
points recovered a fraction. Amer-
ican Telephone reacted nearly i
point* and likewise came back
tract’onally. Among issues off a
point or so were u S Steel
American Tobacco * B ” * Allied
Chemical Santa Fe. American
Can Westmghouse Eelectnc. Unit-
ed Aircraft New York Central
Union Pacific and a few others.
Brokerage quarters expressed the
hope that some decisive action
might be taken by congress early
in the session which would stim-
u'ate business and in consequence
the securities markets.
A fresh faetor appeared in inter-
national financial affairs with
the recommendation Of the ad-
visory committee of the Argentine
government that negotiations be
started to obtain a reduction in
the service payments or the coun-
try s debt. That country’s predica-
ment is largely attributed to the
extremely low prices prevailing for
wheat and livestock.
CHIC AGO GRAIN
Dtc- z Influenc-
ed by the fact that Liverpool wheat
quotations failed to respond much
to advances this side of the Atlantic
gram values here turned downward
cariv today. Word that Argentine
wheat crop estimates were being re-
duced hart little apparent effect.
Opening 3-8 to 7-8 rent* off. Chi-
cago wheat futures held near the
initial range. Corn started at 1-8 n
3-8 decline and then kept about
steady
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NFW ORLEANS. Dec 2 F — The
cotton market experienced a qm^»
but steady opening today. Liverpool
cables came in a shade better than
due but sterling was lower First
trades here showed gains of one to
two points. The market soon eased
off. however due mainly to hedge
selling and also to safe opening
weakness in stocks January traded
down to 5.78. Marrh to 5 88 and Ma'
to 5 97. or 5 to 6 points down from
the opening figures and 3 to 4 points
under yesterday’s close. Near fhe
end of the first hour the market was
quiet and steady but at the lows.
INDUSTRIES TO
iContinued from Page One>
i>. Houston lo the Port ol Browns-
ville. Hr called attention to the
fact that Brazos Santiago was a
port of call when the Bulfalo
Bayou Houston ship channel
was nortfTTIg T5ul an alligator
swamp
He traced the rise of the Hous-
ton port then traced the rise ol
the Corpus Christi port and said
ihat the Brownsville port can get
including Mexican tonnage the
business in one year that the Cor-
pus Christi port has worked five
yrars to get. The speaker said that
the Corpus Christi port right at
ihe Gulf cost *2.200.000 to build
and that the Brownsville port with
its 20-miie channel will cost only
*2.000000 including all expenses.
••City Pares Crtata'*
He mentioned the fact that the
Corpus Christi port is now faced
with the necessity of extending a
hannel a mile and a half to
obtain the great Southern Alkiki
jmpany with its $20000000 in-
vestment. and pointed out that
such additional expense will never
be necessary at Brownsville.
He explained why industries
have located along the Houston
ship channel instead of at Galves-
ton. because of the greater safety
and the industrial sites and sa:d
it will be the .same with Browns-
ville.
"A port is not just a turning
basin." Mr Cummins said. "One
of the most valuable if not the
most valuable asset of the Browns-
ville port is the industrial land it
has along its channel. That is wha-
will help make a great port of it.
The speaker said Brownsville i.s
now facing a crisis—a period when
it can either go forward and be-
come a port city or abandon its
port He closed by stating that
he looks ••foward to the day when
the port of Brownsville will be ore
of the great ports of Texas ”
There are only 200 toas of Ameri-
can whaling vessels in operation at
the present time.

able doubt as to his sanity at that
time.
Special Charge
One suggestion ol the defense
for a special charge—that the jury
be instructed not to consider state-
ments made in arguments as to
facts or alleged facts within the
testimony—was adopted. Another
—that the jurors be advised it was
not necessary for an alienist ever
to have even seen a man to tes-
tify a* to his mental condition up-
on the basis of case history and
the like—was denied.
The 12 counts charged Gregg
with false entry misapplication and
conspiracy to misapply.
The trial got under way last
Monday.
Defense Claims Diseased
The government witnesses pic-
tured Gregg as an unusually shrewd
and acute banker conscious ol
wrong doing and on one occasion
having told fellow bankers:
“Weil. 1 guess I might as well go
on and serve my term and get
through with it.”
Tlie defense showed a contrast-
ing picture describing Gregg as a
man who had suffered grea' pain
for years iron a rare and incur-
ablr bone disease which finally
wrecked him mentally and physic-
ally and left him incapable of ful-
ly understandmg the nature of his
acts.
The closing argument for the gov-
ernment was made bv Asst. U. 3
A tty. Albert Thomas who pointed
out that •whenever a man commits
a crime and finds that he ran not
escape the consequences of it. he
usually pleads insanity."
The opening argument for the
government was made by Asst. U. 3
Ally. Carios Wat-on ol Brownsville
The defense's ca r wits summoned
| up by Clarence Kendall of Hou. -
; ton and R B (J:eager of Browns-
ville Grepg s attorneyJ.
Both sides rested their cases at
3:10 p. m. Thursday.
The opening argument for the
government then was begun by
; Asst. U S Atty Carlos Watson ol
Brownsville.
Each side was permitted 1 hour
40 minutes to sum up their con-
tentions.
The government rested with the
conclusion oi testimony given by
Dr. H. Lisman oi Brownsville who
tcstiiied that in March. 1930. he
made a physical examination ol
Gregg and that lie wax sane at
that time.
Carter Stewart ot Houston
tanner presraent or tne Public Na-
..unal Hank and Irani company
and now connected with the Na-
tional Bank oi Commerce said
thru judging 'Horn his matrons
with oregg dunng the past several
years he believed him sane.
The theory c. the detense that
Gregg was mentally deiicient when
he misused funds of the Merch-
ants National bank was attacked
by the government through a pro-
cess of rebuttal witnesses
A number of them were called
to the stand to relate various
business transactions and convers-
ations they had had with him
over a per:ou of years—end parti-
cularly during the time covered by 1
the indictment—and each declared
him to be normal and that his j
menta1 condition had remained un-
altered during the span ol their
associations.
Two witnesses so far. have testi-
fied that shortly belore the bank
collapsed and after an examiner
had discovered Greggs jugglmg
of the books that he had made a
statement to the effect that he
“might just as well give up and
serve his term in the peniten-
tiary.-’
It also was brought out that
Gregg resigned as presideni of the
bank a few weeks before it closed
its doors on the insistence ol a
national bank examiner.
The first witness Thursday aft-
ernoon was W. A Sandlin a na-
tional bank examiner with head-
quarters m San Antonio He told
of having met Gregg about two
years ago in a non-business man-
ner and later visited his bank with
; number of McAllen citizens seek-
ing to rcoi>cn bank. in that town
| through the aid of a loan from
Cl?’ Mei C National bank
Later. Sandlin .aid he had oc-
| canon to discover some discrepan-
cies in the books of the Merchants
National bank
“Did you tell Mr Gregg that
| something would have *o be done
1 about these dis repa:i .ex or the
bank would be closed?" Thomas
asked.
• Not exactly that but I told
hm that due to the discrepancies
he would have to be eliminated as
president and Mr. Longoria ‘Ben-
ito Longoria. Jr- former assistant
cashier who also is under indict-
menu would havr to be removed
from office." Sandlin said.
\»>roughout his relation* with
Orerg. the latter was a sane man.
SatVlfn said.
Ben A. Frendcastein. a mercan-
tile adjuster of Brownsville. also
testified He said that he had nu-
merous conversations and business
transactions with Gregg and that
Gregg was sane.
J. A. Hollingsworth of San Be-
nito and J. S Ford of Brownsville
also testified that basing their
opinions upon relations with Gregg
they believed him sane
Ford also said that in February
of this year. Gregg signed his
name as chairman of the Browns-
ville navigation district to validate
a 13 500 000 bond issue.
Works Say* ‘Sane’
Dr B. O Works. Brownsville
physician who attended Gregg told
of business dealings with the de-
fendant and then was asked if
from his professional and business
Dialings lie believed Gregg Insane
"I do not have his consent to tes-
tify about things I may have learn-
ed while his physician’. Doctor
Works began
Mr. Kendall promptly objecteo
and Judge Wilson told the witness
to eliminate all mlormat.on gam-
ed a.- a doctor and keep his testi-
mony strictly within the limits or
information gained in business
dealings.
Mr. Thomas insisted that it was
not unethical to testify in federal
court but Judge Wilson again told
the witness what not to answer
and what to answer.
■ Well. then on the basis of your
business dealings would you say
he was sane or insane?'* Thomas
asked.
Sane." said the doctor.
Memory Declared Good
J M Young the receiver for
the bank was then recalled to the
land He outlined his task in go-
ng over the banks assets and said
he and Gregg spent two days m
going over the bank's 2000 notes.
We worked from a list prepared
i by the bank examiner and often
Gregg would remark: There'! mart
security on that note!’ Wed loo*
up the note and Gregg was always
nght." Mr. Young testified.
By the way. was his memory
as good on the vccond day as **
was on the first?” Thomas ssxm.
-It was.”
The witness then said he wanted
to tell one more thing and he weal
on to tell how the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation had written
him to get certain information and
certain documents signed by Gregg.
T went to Gregg and he knew
at once what it was all about and
signed immediately. He certainly
knew hia bank better than any
banker I ever saw!”
The government turned him over
to the defense.
"Now. Mr. Young are you sura
you have tokl all you want to
tell?” Mr Kendall asked with bit-
ing sarcasm.
Yes.”
"No questions then*"
Teller Saw "No Difference”
A L. Peterson the note teller
testified that during 1930 and 1931
he had to consult with Gregg aev-
eral times a day and that he sat
■ no difference’ in h»* mental state.
George White retired B rooms-
i v.Ur investment hanker said thal
during this period he had "no oc-
casion to consider Gregg Insane.”
