A CORRECTION
This paper is due an apology to
the son born Thursday to Mr. and
Mrs. Wade Thomas of Brownwood.
In the report of the birth we stated
that a daughter was born to them
and we were mistaken and should
have said a son. -Grandpa Roy Davis
has been threatening us with a libel
or some other kind of suit but we
believe we will be able to talk him
out of such action. We have agreed
to this proposition as our settlement
—we will never in later years tell the
young man of this error on our part
if Mr. Davis will also do his utmost
to keep the young man from learn-
ing of the mistake we made.
LOST—A pair of glasses in case
bearing the name of Dr. E. W.
Vaughan of Lampasas. Finder please
notify this office.    (dp)
BILL TO LEGALIZE MINIATURE
POOL TABLES KILLED
AUSTIN, Feb. 18.—A bill to le-
galize operation of miniature pool
tables in public places was killed in
the Texas house of representatives
Friday when the house adopted an
amendment to the proposed measure
striking out the enacting clause.
The vote was 69 to 40, and came
after stormy debate in which oppon-
ents of the • bill charged it was an
opening wedge to the return of the
old pool hall; that it would be a
detriment to the morals of the peo-
ple because it would invite gambling
and would be a forerunner to the li-
censing of saloons.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Secre-
tary Hyde announced today $300 will
be the maximum loan to any farmer
from the $90,000,000 fund set aside
by congress for crop production fi-
nancing.
In addition to reducing the max-
imum from $400 in 1932, Hyde is-
sued x-egulations providing farmers
who are delinquent in repayment of
two or more prior loans will be limit-
ed to $100 in order to conserve the
fund from which nearly 1,000,000
farmers are expected to seek assist-
ance. The loan will be a first lien on
the crop pi’oduced.
Congress authorized the Secretai-y
of Agriculture to require acreage
reduction up to 30 per cent as a loan
condition, and Hyde said this will be
enforced except in the case of minor
producers and growers of perennials.
Oi’chardists ‘will not be requii'ed to
cut down their trees or otherwise re-
duce their producing capacity to qual-
ify for aid.

ner. The valentine motif was carried

young ladies had a most delightful
evening together. The members of
the class appi’eciate this courtesy and
will be ready at any time in the fu-
ture to accept another such invitation.
Fi’iends hei’e have been notified of

The deceased had visited here during

DOCTOR HOLDS ZANGARA SANE
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 17.—Giuseppe
Zangara—the man who tried to kill
the president-elect—was declared sane
today by Dr. E. C. Thomas, county
physician.
The examination was infoi'mal. It
was made several hours after Zan-
gara’s formal ai-raignment was post-
poned again while doctors exei’ted
their skill to save two persons he
wounded seriously — Mayor Anton
Cermak, Chicago, and Mrs. Joe Gill,
Miami.
Mayor Cermak’s condition was re-
ported “satisfactory” late today and
Mi's. Gill underwent a second blood
transfusion in a desperate effort to
save her life.
Dr. Thomas’ examination was made
independent of a contemplated exam-
ination by a sanity commission.
Judge E. C. Collins called Zangara
before him today, appointed counsel
for his defense and ordered him to
reappear at 10 a. m. tomorrow for
formal arraignment. •

JAP POLICY DENOUNCED
BY LEAGUE
GENEVA, Feb. 17.—The League
of Nations told the whole world to-
day by its own wireless telegraph of
the plan of its leaders for a pronoun-
cement of solemn censure upon Japan
for her military action against China,
and for a peaceful settlement of the
dangerous conflict in the Far East.
Yosuke, Matsuoka, special counsel
for Japan, announced less than an
hour after publication of the League’s
proposals that his government would
not accept the recommendations for*
peace.
“There never was any question of
Japan’s accepting the report,” he said.
“To protect Manchukuo we must pos-
sess the chief town of Jehol. The
only way to get peace is for the Chi-
nese to withdraw their troops from
Jehol.
“We will fight if we have to. I
have heard that there are about 150,-
000 Chinese troops in Jehol, but one
Japanese is worth 10 Chinese. All
Chinese soldiers are bandits.”
Avoids Withdrawal Question.
Matsuoka avoided questions con-
cerning Japan’s plans for withdrawal
from the League, saying he had re-
ceived na instructions to withdraw.
“Nobody in the League wants Ja-
pan to leave,” he said, “and Japan
does not want to leave; but if the
League creates certain circumstances,
the League inay compel Japan to
leave.”
The conquest of the Province of
Jehol, which lies between Manchuria
and China proper, is the next item on
Japan’s announced military schedule.
Chinese spokesmen accepted the
League’s settlement proposals as vin-
dication of their nation’s policy. But
difficulty developed with the Soviet
Russian representative, who indicat-
, ed that his government had little
faith in the new plan for a settle-
ment of the conflict, which has dis-
turbed the Far East almost a year
and a half.
Reaffirm China’s Sovereignty.
The settlement plan, drawn up by
the representatives of the 19 prin-
cipal League powers, is embodied in
a report which will be presented to
the League assembly next week with
every prospect of the full approval
of all members and governments ex-
cept Tokio.
Reaffirming China’s right to sov-
ereignty over Manchuria, the report
repeats the Lytton commission’s con-
clusion that the Japanese military
activities in these northeastern prov-
inces have not been legitimate self-
defense, and it recommends the early
evacuation of Japanese troops.
Miss Lila Smith, who is employed
in Austin during the session of the
legislature, came in Saturday morn-
ing for a short visit with her par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Smith.
