Navy Called to His
Bedside As Pleurisy
Develops
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. CiP)—
Secretary Swanson who suffered a
fractured rib in a fall at his home
a week ago. has developed pleurisy
and a brother has been summoned
to his bedside at Naval hospital.
Hospital officials said Mrs. Swan-
son summoned H. C. Swanson
brother of the 74-year old secretary
of the navy from his home at
Danville. Va.
Swanson’s condition was de-
scribed as “serious but not im-
mediately alarming."
Pleurisy developed Wednesday in
his left lung on the same side that
the rib was fractured. Attendants
said this was not an unusual de-
velopment in such cases except that
it was delayed so long after the
injury.
Swanson’s age was a factor that
caused some worry.

We certainly hope not.
That particular stretch of highway
la a pain In the neck—
A crick In the steering srheel.
Personally we think that the high-
way commission is going to get to
that piece of road some of these
days.
The funds it was planned to use
for that purpose are federal
moneys—
And we all know that it takes time
to get that sort of money in circula-

If in the future there is enacted
some sort of cotton control legisla-
tion to take the place of the demised
Bankhead act—
The year 1936 will most probably
be considered in the setting of indi-
vidual quotas.
Which Is Just one more fine and
excellent reason for the planting and
the harvesting of a record cotton
crop in this section this year.
The Bankhead act caught us after
three or four very poor cotton years
and we suffered accordingly.
Let's profit thereby.
This photo taken Thursday morning at the scene of the Missouri Pacific freight train wreck 1
about seven miles from Brownsville shows cars piled up and splintered where they left the tracks when a
wheel broke on a tank car and left the tracks. Six cars left the tracks. Members of the crew riding in the '
locomotive and in the caboose escaped Injury when the locomotive and the rear cars remained on the track. ‘
One man was killed and another was seriously Injured but neither was a member of the crew.

Leading the vanguard of those who

in a concerted attack.
But there was no indication Thurs-
day that the administration forces

Democratic councils are divided
on the question. Some like Senator
Pope (D-Alat are now’ converting
Into immediate action the dissatis-
faction with supreme court decisions
felt in high administration circles.
Pope has introduced a bill to require
a vote of at least 7 of the 9 justices
before a law can be invalidated.
Others advise against action at
least immediately. One close ad-
viser to the president although de-
clining to be quoted by name said
recently the administration would
seek to accomplish New Deal pur-
poses “within the language of the
majority opinions” of the court.
Norris in his senate speech Wed-

decision said pointedly that congress
could “remedy the situation if it has
the courage to do so.” He has said

Man Convicted In Slaying
Of Border Patrolman
Spared By Allred
AUSTIN. Feb. 13. (^—Governor
Allred Thursday commuted to life
imprisonment the death sentence of
Ramiro Galvan alias Raul Galvan
assessed for the murder of a border
patrolman in El Paso county.
Galvan was scheduled to be elec-
trocuted Friday. He was convicted
in the death of Ivan Scotten. patrol-
man shot to death in a gun battle
July 20. 1929. at Los Pompos cross-
ing on the Rio Grande with alleged
liquor smugglers.
Governor Allred said he believed
Galvan was guilty but the evidence
“is not entirely satisfactory in cer-
tain respects and frankly the most
damaging evidence in my Judgment
is circumstantial.”
He said h° was not impressed with
last-minute pleas of newly discover-
ed evidence.
The governor pointed to the “un-
fortunate state of the record” in
which the court of criminal appeals
divided in affirming the sentence
and the board of pardons split sim-
ilarly in recommending clemency.
Galvan one-time head of San Ysi-
dro municipal guards was a citizen
of Mexico. The proclamation said
“his rights should be as jealously
guarded as a citizen of this coun-
try.”
The Mexican government inter-
ceded through official channels the
governor said “and officially re-
quested a commutation of the sen-
tence” The Mexican government's

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 13. (A>—The
permanent congressional commis-

Plutarco Elias C&lles and “his spite-
ful gang" with creating labor dis-
turbances. decided Thursday to send
federal senators and deputies to their
home states to explain the labor
policies of President Lazaro Carde-
nas.
Senator Pedro Torres Ortix ad-
dressing the permanent commis-
sion. declared recent disorders in
Monterrey and Tampico were the
result of “the insolent attitude and
anti-patriotic activities of Calles and
his gang.”
He asserted the former president
and his followers were using sec-
tions of a foreign press to "accuse
President Cardenas of communistic
activities which is a lie since our
government is socialtisrtic."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. <JP>—
Delving into Indian legend the
Smithsonian Institution bobbed up
Thursday with evidence that Min-
nehaha. bride of Hiawatha was
put on the spot by a “super-
gangster."
Seeking to separate fact from
myth in the famous story Dr. J.
N. B. Hewitt Smithsonian ethnol-
ogist made public this version:
Hiawatha a man of “decidedly
liberal leanings" and social view-
point had a step-brother who was
just the opposite. This step-
brother an Onandaga Indian
named Wa-ta-do-da-ho wag a
“ruthless gangster" and with "a
band of ruffians" he terrorized
his tribe. Anbody who opposed
him was "put on the spot."
Disgusted with this gang rule.
Hiawatha tried to organize a rival
party “but could obtain no follow-
er* for obvious reasons.”
Now Wa-ta-do-da-ho would
have liked to kill Hiawatha but
he did not dare because Hiawa-
tha’* mothaf was a Mohawk In-
dian ahd that powerful tribe
would have risen to do vengeance
on the slayer.
So Wa-ta-do-da-ho “compro-
mised" by murdering Minnehaha
"the lovely Laughing Water" and
her children.
"She was an Onandaga." It was
explained "and her children were
Onandagas. and it was no concern
of the Mohawks what happened to
them."
When Hiawatha returned to his
lodge and discovered the deed he
became "temporarily Insane” and
wandered in the wilderness. He
came under the influence of the
Indian preacher Deganawida and
their partnership resulted in “the
strange politico-religious system
based on the doctrine of human
brotherhood." which entered into
the league of the Iroquois a con-
federation of tribes.
Dr. Hewitt is working with de-
tails furnished nearly 40 years ago
by a blind Iroquois ritual leader
whose version is said to indicate
"considerable historical validity."
Legends attaching to Hiawatha’s
name have been used in litera-
ture notably by Longfellow.
CHICAGO. Feb. 13. (#>—Suits of
linen tailored frocks novel color
combinations and 13 Homberg
hats made up the summer daytime
picture as presented Thursday in
a wholesalers’ advance warm
weather style review at the mer-
chandise mart.
There were suits—and more
suits—and still more suits.
Conspicuous were those of white
and natural linen. Nearly all had
hip-length pockets. Flannel was a
popular medium. For early spring
these were light wool skirts and
contrasting Jackets. Skirts and
colored silk blouses—worn without
a Jacket—were seen.
The vogue this spring and sum-
mer for brightly hued shoes
gloves and bags noticeably in-
creased the charm of summery
fashions.
Colors In cotton togs included
Chinese red. much yellow pink
and light blue dark blue either
alone or combined with white or
green; brown and a Spanish tile
that was lovely in cotton lace.
All excess trimming and fluf-
finess were shaved off the sports
dresses The result to the femin- *
ine eye looked like a garment easy e
to wash and iron. There were J
some jacket frocks but ‘he shirt-
waist style led. There were few
sun-tan backless numbers.
Interesting new uses of pockets ]
for trimming were noted. One
dress had a left breast pocket and ;
right skirt pocket. Some dresses i
had inverted pleats at the side f
of the skirt hem. 1
Shorts in blue brown or white ..
were shown for tennis; for golf- j
ing slacks In the same solid
colors were advocated. i
