PINK BOLL WORM INFESTED
AREA MAY ABANDON COTTON
Sweetwater, Tex., Feb. 25.—En-
dorsement of the non-cotton zone to
eliminate the pink boll worm, pro-
vided the co-operation of state and
national authorities in the steriliza-
tion of seed and fumigation of cotton
bales to stamp out the infestation,
was voted by a mass meeting here
today of approximately 2,000 Texas
farmers and business men.
Adoption of the resolution came
after a hot fight by delegates of in-
fested West Texas counties. These
delegates contended that their coun-
ties were able to take care of them-
selves, that the menace was not seri-
ous with them and that they did not
wish to accept the possibility of the
non-cotton zone intruding their ter-
ritory.
Advocates of the non-cotton zone
pointed out in reply that the danger
to the infested counties was that they
would cause the quarantine by other
states. This dissipated the opposi-
tion. The resolution carried and the
meeting adjourned a few minutes
after six o’clock.
The resolutions were directed to
the Texas boll worm commission
which has scheduled a series of meet-
ings in West Texas to study extent of
pink boll worm infestation. The first
of such hearings will be held Monday
at Lamesa.
The mass meeting called by the
West Texas Chamber of Commerce
at the request of Gov. Dan Moody,
who attended the meet, proved of
southwide scope with the arrival of
agricultural officials from Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Alabama. The federal government
was represent by the chief of its
bureau of ent-c;:. >logy, Dr. C. L. Mar-
latt; Texas, brides the governor, by
its pink boll worm commission of five
members and its state and chief ento-
mologists.
Among those present was B. R.
Coad, Tullulah, La., in charge of cot-
ton insect investigations in America,
tor the U. S. department of agricul-
ture.
Dr. Marlatt, addressing the fore-
noon session, announced that the fed-
eral agricultural department, recog-
nizing the necessity of eradication,
has put an item of $680,000 into the
agricultural bill for the eradication
only and not including any sum for
reimbursing farmers in areas possi-
bly to be-, closed to cotton porduction.
He declared the pink boll worm a
more troublesome pest than the boll
weevil, because it conecals itself in the
seed of the cotton boll, and is thus
beyond poison. The situation calls
for complete harmony between state
and federal governments, he said.
Th6 limits of the West Texas in-
festation so far discovered embrace
467,000 acres, George S. Becker, in
charge of the pink boll worm service,
in Texas, fo* the federal horticultur-
al board, announced.

The Grade Crossing Hazard.
Houston, Tex., Feb. 21.—The grade
crossing hazard in its relation to the
by the lines of the Southern Pacific
b ythe lines of the Southern Pacific
in Texas and Louisiana, has been
given additional attention by the
Southern Pacific management.
Letter have been written the county
judges of the various jurisdictions
touched or traversed by the Southern
Pacific, calling attention to the in-
creased use of the highways by vehi-
cles conveying the children of the
rural sections to the county schools,
and the possibility of accident and iu-
jury on railroad grade crossings. The
management in briefly discussing the
very important subject, among other
things, states:
“Many of the counties in which
school busses are operated are insist-
ing that drivers of these vehicles shall
bring their cars to a full stop before
negotiating a grade crossing, and
assure themselves the way is safe be-
fore going over. This is ais it should
be, for every crossing of this char-
acter is a potential hazard when the
trains are approaching and the public
never knows, nor can be expected to
know, when trains are liable to be
met.”
The officials in many of the counties
have put this regulation in effect, and
letters received by the management
of the Southern Pacific from a num-
ber of the county judges, indicate a
full recognition of the risk and a
sympathetic response to the appeal
of the railroad company to put in
the stop, look and listen provision, so
that the children may be protected
against the pczsible careless opera-
tion of drivers of school busses. Num-
erous accidents to conveyances of this
character have occurred the country
over, and the enforcement of a regu-
lation as suggested would prove of
undoubted value elsewhere.
Chicago, Feb. 26.—Within 24 hours
of yesterday’s spectacular holdup of
a Grand Trunk train on the south-
western outskirts of Chicago, the
police tonight announced that one ar-
rested suspect had confessed his share
of the robbery, implicating seven men,
including two railroad workers.
More than $17,000 of the $133,000
loot was recovered and 25 suspects,
including five women, were arrested
in several raids, the police said. Vir-
tually all were connected with the
holdup, the police reported.
Currency totaling $17,125, and be-
lieved to be part of the mail train
loot, together with two small bombs,
was seized at the home of Charles
Cleavis, one of those arrested.
Several arrests are anticipated and
when all suspects are rounded up,
complete solution of the train rob-
bery as well as a dozen other major
robberies during the past year is
thought possible, Chief of Detectives
Michael Grady announced.
The prisoners, taken in several
raids, were held incommunicado to-
night. Among them, the detectives
said, were several with prison records,
and the actual robbers of the train.
While only six men were believed^
to have committed yesterday’s rob-
bery, the others will be held as ac-
cessories in engineering the holdup
and escape of the six men.
Yesterday’s robbery was swift and
dramatic, closely resembling in its
execution the train robberies of dime
novel fame. The train was stopped
by a “passenger” at St. Maria’s, not
a scheduled stop. As it slowed down,
six men attired in khaki overalls and
masked, sprayed the train with an
enfilade of shots from sawed off shot
guns, forcing the passengers and the
crew of the mail coach to a rear
coach.
Then the mail car was bombed and
two of the bandits quickly but pains-
takingly searched for the sacks con-
taining the money.
All sped away • in a waiting auto-
bile. The robbery and bombing was
executed in six minutes. One mail
guard, who resisted their commands,
was beaten into insensibility.
HELMS GIVEN DEATH
PENALTY FOR RAID
WAR FILM SECERELY
FLAYED GY ENGLISHMAN
Eastland, Tex., Feb. 26.—The death
penalty was voted by a jury today
which found Henry Helms guilty of
robbery with firearms in connection
with the robbery of the First Nation-
al bank of Cisco, Dec. 23.
The verdict was returned in 91st
district court and was received with-
out emotion by the defendant. Mar-
shall Ratliff, tried two weeks ago, was
given a 99-year sentence on the same
charge.
Robert Hill, who is in jail here, is
waiting trial. One of the four ban-
dits, Louis E. Davis, who robbed the
bank of more than $12,000 was wound-
ed and died in jail at Fort Worth.
Chief of Police Henry Bedford and
Policeman G. W. Carmichael both died
of wounds in the fight that took place
at the bank in which eight persons
were wounded and the robbers de-
serted their wounded companion and
the bank loot.
Ratliff was captured Dec. 27 at
South Bend. Edwards and Helms
were captured Dec. 30- at Graham.
Each faces charges of murder.

ing in his court, Monday, adjudged

HOUSTON FUND GOES OVER
TOP AS $300,000 IS RAISED
Houston, Tex., Feb. 24.—Houston’s
campaign to raise $300,000 within the
city for entertainment of the demo-
cratic national convention here in
June, went over the top Thursday,
R. M. Farrar, vice chairman of the
drive, announced.
Fifty thousand dollars is vat to be
realized to bring the fund tip to the
total of $350,000 which is estimated
to be the least adequate sum. One
half of the remainder, Mr. Farrar
said, can easily be secured through
the sale of convention buttons and
the remainder is confidently ex-
pected from subscriptions throughout
the state.

best of spirits and there were many

long now until the lure of the brooks
call to ye fishermen and a steady
traffic toward the country will be seen.
London, Feb. 27.—Sir Austen Cham-
berlain, foreign secretary, who has
been severely criticized in some quar-
ters for his actions in connection with
the film, “Dawn,” depicting the life
and execution by the Germans in Bel-
gium of the English nurse, Edith
Cavell, declared himself in the hous
of commons today as quite unrepent
ent. He said that he was ready t
take the same course again.
Sir Austen made a full disclosur
of the motives which animated him i
his efforts to prevent the exhibition
of the film. He frankly declared tha
as an English gentleman, meaning no
in his official capacity, he considere
the film an outrage on humanity. Re
peating details of the particular seen
of the execution as it had been da
scribed to him, one soldier refusin
to point his rifle being shot down, th
other members of the firing squa
leveling their rifles at her head, t
nurse falling in a faint and being dis
patched, he deemed it wholly im
proper. He felt that it was an out
rage on a noble woman’s memory t
turn to purposes of commercial profi
so heroic a story.
