"Well, they had jobs until tha

Rev. Roy Leicht is Filling Pulpit
at Point Breeze
A two week’s revival was open-
ed under the auspices of the
Handley Baptist Church at Point
Breeze addition last night with
Rev. Roy Leicht of College
Heights filling the pulpit.
Evening services, he'd in the
open air, will start at 8 o'clock. A
children’s meeting will be held
each evening at 7:30.
Rev. Ramsey Pollard, Handley
pastor, is conducting the song
service and Miss Flora Jane Her-
tig is at the piano. Mrs. E. C. Nix
is violin accompanist.
the following statement:
“The specific object of the new
government now beirg formed is
to deal with the national emer-
gency that now exists. It will not
be a coalition government in the
usual sense of the wore, but a
government of co-operation for
this one purpose.
“When that purpose has been
achieved the political parties will
resume their respective positions.
“In order to correct without
delay the excess of national ex-
penditure over revenue, It is an-
ticipated that Parliament will be
summoned Sept. 8, when pro-
posals will be submitted to the
House of Commons for a very
large reduction of expenditure
and for provision on an equitable
basis of the further funds re-
quired to balance the budget
"As the commerce and well be-
ing not only of the British nation,
but a large part of the civilized
world, has been built up and
rests upon well - founded confi-
dence in the pound sterling, the
new government will take what-
ever steps may be deemed by
them necessary to justify the
maintenance of the confidence un-
impaired.”

For Legislat e Action.
Among the meetings where
the Long plan was approved
were those at Wortham, where
plans were made for a further
discussion of the cotton problem,
and at a meeting at Fairfield
Wedne day.
Dallas County farmers at
Mesquite Indorsed the Long plan.
Farmers at a mass meeting at
Garland favored a cotton holi-
day.
At Paris farmers adopted a
resolution to send a recommen-
dation to a conference called to
meet at Paris Wednesday to in-
dorse the Long plan.
Two thousand farmers meet-
ing at Center approved the
Long plan.
There were farmers at other
mass meetings, however, who fa-
vored cotton acreage reduction,
but nothing so drastic as the Long
plan.
By a vote of 51 to 7, cotton
farmers meeting at Abilene fa-
vored a legislative measure to cut '
acreage, but not prohibit produc-
tion. In 1932.

farmer, had clung for more than
a week at a Fort Worth hospi-

died of burns received two weeks
ago.
Stephens; 37, had been in a
critical condition more than >a
week and physicians then gave
up all hope for his recovery and
kept him under opiates to re-
lieve his suffering.
Nearly all of Stephens’ body
was burned two weeks ago to-
day when his gasoline-soaked
auto burst into flames north of
Arlington, where-he had been to
buy groceries.
Stephens leaped from the auto
but not quick enough to keep
his clothing from being burned

A. R. Kennedy, Arlington real
estate dealer, saw the auto burst
into flames and sped to Stephens’
aid. He wrapped him in a coat
and took him to Arlington,
where he was placed in an am-

pital here.
The under part of Stephens'
car had been soaked with gaso-
line from a leaking line.
His funeral will be at Irving.
He leaves a widow and three
children, 6, 5 and 2 years old.

GALLAPIN COAT
With the eyes of the South
upon Texas,, farmers, business
men and legislators worked' to-
day to produce some plan that
would revive “king cotton."
Mass meetings over the state
gave expression to various plans
and to the suggestion that Gov.
Ross Sterling call a special ses-
sion of the Texas Legislature to
curtail the raising of cotton.
A meeting of the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce agricul-
ture committee will be held here
Thursday afternoon to discuss
relief plans. Governor Sterling
and Senators Connally and
Sheppard and State Agriculture
Commissioner McDonald have
been invited to attend.
Meeting at Dallas today, Texas
bankers will discuss plans for
their own solution of the cotton
market problem. They were ex-
pected to outline a plan to be
followed in case Governor Ster-
ling does not call a special cot-
ton session of the Legislature.
Long Scheme ‘Bizcare.’
While some mass meetings
favored the Long plan of a one-
year cotton holiday for the
South, many individuals ex-
pressed the opinion that such a
proposal is too impractical and
"bizzare."
Many plns were put forward
as a remedy for the situation.

First Protest Meeting
Held in Austin
By United Press.
AUSTIN, Aug. 25.-The first
of a series of protest meetings
against martial law in East
Texas was held here last night
within a few blocks of the gover-
nor’s mansion.
Gov. Ross Sterling was not
in the audience of approximately
1,000, probably half women and
children, but two former gover-
nors were: James E. and Miriam
A. Ferguson.
The Fergusons sat on the sec-
ond row from the front in the
park bench auditorium set up
around a grandstand in Woolridge
Park. Rep. T. H. McGregor of
Austin, long time friend of Fer-
gusons, introduced the speakers.
Owsley spoke after C. C. Mc-
Donald, Wichita Falls oil opera-
tor had lamented suspension of
constitutional rights in the mar-
tial law zone.
“About the only right we have
left,” McDonald lamented, “is
that if you are a poor man you
get a speedy, public trial.”
The former legion head assert-
ed the Standard Oil Company, its
subsidiary the Humble Oil & Re-
fining Company, the Texas Cor-
poration and other ’ majors ate.
working frantically during the
shutdown of the East Texas field
to increase their wells and to com-
plete pipe lines, "so that as soon
as the ban is lifted, they shall
have an increased advantage over
independents.”
Raps Major Companies.
He said circumstances indicated
that major companies not only
control the oil industry of Texas
but have attempted to influence
the legislature and to control the
Governor thru loans or advances
Use of the militia to fix the
price of oil will create in the
hearts and minds of the people a
deep seated resentment for con-
stituted authority and lead to a I
state of warfare, he declared.
"The indignation and wrath of
the people is on the rising tide
and the war has just begun unless
the Governor has the good judg-
ment to revoke his order of mar-
tial law and bring home the sol-
diers of tyranny,” Owsley assert-
ed.
engines of the big Fokker, even
I idle, are a roar.
"Bass, mama. I caught them
for you today.”
“Now I am hungry.” She
laughs and looks girlish. Then—
“Can I send a telegram here?
We must wire daddy.”
Inside the car of Barney Hol-
land, 2220 Pembroke Drive, broth-
er-in-law of the flyer, Mru. Hawks
pulls from her purse a yellowed
piece of cardboard.
"Come here, Frank," she calle.
"Do you remember this?"
Old Flight Certificate.
Mrs. Hawks explains: "That’s
a flight certificate. Frank gave
it to me the day he took me up
for my first plane ride. That was
10 years ago. Look. On the
back he’s listed all /the stunts he
did."
"You just about got the works,
mom,” muses the flyer.
The card lists a wing-over,
barrel-roll, Immelmann turn and
falling leaf.
The first flight was made in an
old Jenny. Hawks was barn-
storming at Dowagiac, Mich., at
the time. .
“I've flown in all of Frank's
ships—except the Texaco 13, the
speed plane lie is flying new,”
says the mother. "Of course,
there's not room In that.
“I never have objected to
Frank's flying. I figured If he
was out for flying, there was
notning else he could do success
fully.
"I don’t worry. H is never
foolish and flies only the best I
equipment.”
Hawke Is Pleased.
Captain Hawks was pleased
this morning when he learned
that ‘Joe Glass would be at the
controls of the plane to take his
mother east. Glass and Hawks
flew nitroglycerine and payrolls
together in Mexico in the old days.
Hawks will be waiting at the
five stops on the American Air-
1 ways line to Atlanta when hit
mother lands today. He won’t be
' able to act as convoy to the pas-
senger ship because his plane will
not fly slower than 120 miles an
hour. This is about the cruising
speed of the transport planes.
Mrs. Hawks is scheduled to
reach Atlanta at 3:09 p. m. She
will stay in Atlanta overnight and
take an Eastern Air Transport
plane out of there at 8 a. m. to-

ment was indorsed by more than
500 McLennan County farmers
meeting last night at Mart. J.
E. McDonald, commissioner of
agriculture in Texas, told the
farmers the South was faced with
bankruptcy unless a cotton cur-
tailment program was enacted.
Favor Fourth Cut.
A one-fourth cotton acreage
reduction in 1932 was favored by
Dawson County farmers meeting
at Lamesa.
At a meeting of Williamson
County citizens at Georgetown,
resolutions were passed urging
Gov. Sterling to call a spacial ses-
slon of the Legislature to enact
legislation curtailing the planting
of cotton in 1932 by 50 per cent
of this year’s crop, such legisla-
tion to become effective when oth-
er cotton states enact similar leg-
islation.
The few legislators that have
expressed themselves have ap-
proved calling the Legislature to-
gether. Senator Oliver Cunning-
ham, of Abilene, author of the
defeated cotton acreage control
bill.In the recent legislative ses-
sion, and Senator J. J. Loy of
Sherman, both favor any control
bill that is approved by the farm-
ers. Loy is meeting with -farmers
today at Sherman, and has ar-
ranged meetings at Bonham Wed-
nesday and at Gainesville Thurs-
dy.
Want Special Session.
Rep. Fritz Englehrd, of Eagle
Lake, and Rep. Lawrence West-
brook of Waco, both favored a
special session. Senator W. K.
Hopkins of Gonzales, declared
that a year's ben on cotton pro-
duction would mean financial ruin
to every cotton gin, warehouse,
comprens, smll town banker and
merchant carrying farmers’. ac ■
counts in the state.
The Vernon Chamber of Com- I
merce sent telegrams to the three ’
managers of regional chambers,
and mailed letters to 425 local '
chambers in cotton producing
areas, to learn the sentiment on
the cotton proposal of Governor I
Long.
