MAJOR MARTIN AND
MECHANIC HARVEY SAFE
Cordova, Alaska, May 11.—Miracu-
lously escaping death after crashing
against a mountain peak in a fog'
and completely wrecking the former
flagplane Seattle, one of four U. S.
Army globe encircling air cruisers,
Maj. Frederick L. Martin and his me-
chanic, Stpff Sergt. Alva L. Harvey,
safe Sunday night at Port Moller, 100
miles west of Chignik, Alaska, on the
Alaska Peninsula, according to a
wireless message received here from
that point via St. Paul Island.
The two American aviators, who es-
caped unhurt from their splintered
plane on the mountainside, we re forced
down one hour and a half after leav-
ing Chignik for Dutch Harbor, Un-
alaska Island, shortly before noon,
April 30. They rescued a few of their
records and food rations from the
debris and started on a long tramp
down the mountainside toward the
North Pacific ocean shore lines.
After many hardships they reached
a trapper’s cabin on the southern tip
of Port Moller Bay last Wednesday
morning and found food and a warm
place to sleep. They were.utterly ex-
hausted after a seven-day tramp un-
der severe weather conditions and
rested two days in the cabin. Satur-
day the flyers walked to the beach,
and early Sunday flashed the first
message of their safety to the world
after being missing 10 days.
Only “nerve and concentrated food
rations” saved their. lives, said the
brief message from Port Moller. The
radio note stated they would remain
at Port Moller until receipt of fur-
ther orders from Washington.
i METHODISTS FAVOR
WOMEN AS PASTORS
Springfield, Mass., May 9. The
ordination of women as local pastors j
in the Methodist ministry was ap- '
proved by the Methodist Episcopal
general conference Friday by a de-
cisive majority. Their admission to '
the itinerancy and to membership in
the annual conferences was almost
unanimously defeated.
It was ,a partial -victory for the
feminist element, for women have
never before been granted ordination,
with its concurrent right to admin- i
ister the sacraments, although since J
1920 they have been entitled to tern- i
porary settlement as local pastors, j
A liberal bloc in the conference held j
that women should be given all rights
and privileges of men, but their sub^- .
stitute was snowed under.
The pending unification of the j
North and South churches, ratified
by the general conference last Mon- j
day, would be imperiled if a change j
in the annual conference membership j
was adopted, it was argued by two j
speakers, who declared that the time |
was not ripe for admission of women
to the annual conferences.
“Women would have full ordination
by the commission’s plan, and they
should not be denied the privilege of
administering the holy sacrament of
baptism,” said the Rev. W. E. Shaw
of Peoria, 111. “But the women have
shown no desire to be admitted to
the annual conferences, and it is not
time for such action. It is not wise to
complicate by new legislation mat-
ters which we shall soon face as a
united church.”

STATE HAS $4,000,000
NOW IN LIBERTY BONDS
Austin, Texas, May 12.—C. V. Ter-
rell, State Treasurer, purchased an
additional $1,000,000 for the various
special funds, bringing the total in-
vested in Liberty bonds to $4,000,000.
These investments are made necessary
under the law, which requires the
surplus over the maximum in State
depositories to be so placed. The
State depositories, Austin banks, con-
tain $1,801,000 and the ninety-one
banks over the State have $4,536,000.
All of this after the $1,000,000 invest-
ment of Monday.
The $3,000,000 heretofore invested
has earned $21,000 interest and the
bonds have advanced on the market
Until they are worth over $25,000
more than Mr. Terrelf paid for them.
Thus they could be cashed in today
for a total profit of nearly $50,000.
..-Mrs. Win. Patton went to Bertram
Sunday to be with her mother, who
continues to be sick, though she is
better than she was several days ago.

ROCKWELL CLAIMS McADOO
MAJORITY AT DEM. MEETING
Nashville, Tenn., May 12.—David
Ladd Rockwell, of Chicago, manager
of W. G. McAdoo’s presidential cam-
paign, last night issued a tabulated
statement claiming 648% votes for
McAdoo on the early balloting in the
New York convention, or, as he point-
ed out, within 85 votes of two-thirds
required to win the ftomination.
“Thirty-three states and territori-
es, with 920 convention votes, already
have expressed their pi’eference,” he
said. “In these states, Mr. McAdoo
won or divided the delegation from
27, losing only 6, completely to his
entire field of opponents, who were
'favorite sons,’ in most cases.”
“Seventeen of the remaining states
and territories are known to be favor-
able to Mr. McAdoo. These states
have a total of 180 votes which, added
to the 436% already won by him, will
increase his total to 616% votes.
“In the five remaining states that
are classified as doubtful, Mr. Mc-
Adoo is assured of not fewer than 32
votes, bringing his total to 648% or
over 100 more than a majority of the
convention.”
Frank Baker, chief of the Lampasas
Volunteer Fire Department, left Mon-
day morning for McKinney where he
gees to attend the State Volunteer
Firemen’s Convention which convenes
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs-
day. The racing team and delegation
from here will leave on the Monday
night’s train for McKinney.
WHY SUFFER SO?
Why suffer from a bad back, from
sharp, shooting twinges, headaches,
dizziness and distressing urinary ills?
Lampasas people recommend Doan’s
Pills. Ask y o; u r n e; i g hbor.
Could you ask for stronger proof of
merit.
Mrs. C. G. Claunch, Fourth St.,
Lampasas, says: “I had been suffer-
ing for quite a while. At ,times I
had such bad pains in the small of
my back and through my groins I
could hardly stand. Many times I
had to put my hands on my hips try-
ing to ease the pain. I was easily
upset and at night was restless. I
■was also bothered with my kidneys
acting too frequently. I saw what
Doan’s Pills did for others so
I got some at Mackey & Ransom’s
Drug Store. They eased the pain in
my back, regulated my kidneys and
made me feel better ifr every way.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills •— the same that
Mrs. Claunch' had. Foster-Milburn

REJECT COOLIDGE’S
JAPANESE PROPOSAL
Washington, May 9.—The House
Friday refused to accept President
Coolidge’s suggestion for postpone-
ment of Japanese exclusion until
March 1, 1925.
By a vote of 189 to 174 the confer-
ence report on the provision in the
immigration bill was rejected.
The report was recommitted with in-
structions to the House conferees to
insist on elimination of the stipulation
put in the bill in conference that- the
exclusion was not to take effect for
eight months.
Included, in the provision which the
House disapproved is a request tljat
the President negotiate with Japan
for abrogation of the “gentlemen’s
agreement” on immigration.
A parliamentary tangle ensued,
which enabled the Republican organ-
ization to demand another roil call.;
'Supporters of the President’s plan
failed to gain strength on the sec-
ond roll call, losing 19.1 to 171,
This vote definitely settled the is-
sue and no further effort was made
to prevent sending the report back to
the conferees.
Democrats lined up almost solidly
for re-committing the report - as pro-
posed by Representative Raber of
California, a Democratic member of
the immigration committee.' Most,
of the Republicans from the Pacific
coast supported his motion.
BOB-HAIRED GIRL BANDIT
ADVISES MOTHERLY CARE
Syracuse, N. Y., May 9.—Sunday is
Mother’s Day and Celia Cooney, New
York’s bob-haired bandit, Friday gave
a message to mothers as her last bit
of advice befoi'e entering Auburn
prison to begin a sentence of 10 to
20 years. As the train taking her to
Auburn halted in Syracuse for a few
minutes Friday afternoon, she was
asked if she had anything to say
which might help other girls to keep
from going wrong.
“What I have to say is to mothers,”
she replied. “That is more important.
All I have to say to girls is that it
doesn’t pay. To mothers I would say,
take care of your daughters. If moth-
ers watched their daughters as -they
should there wouldn’t so many-of them
go wrong. Let them keep their daugh-
ters out of dance halls, and know
where they are nights. That is all
there is to keeping a girl straight and
decent and out of trouble.”
and the location is one of the most
beautiful in Lampasas.
