Airport Should
be Provided Now
Creager Asserts
There should be no delay in establishing a municipal
airport for Brownsville was the opinion expressed Thurs-
day by R. B. Creager chairman of the airport committee
of the Chamber of Commerce who believes such action
would speed plans of the government to establish an air
mail route to this city.
The committee has filed recommendations with the
city commission that a bond election for $100000 be call-
ed. and action is expected to be taken at the regular meet-
ing of the city commission Friday.
The airport committee has secured options on sev-
eral sites and these will be presented to the commission
at the Friday meeting.
The announcement Wednesday by Postmaster Gen-
eral New which virtually designated Brownsville as the
border port for the air mail service to Mexico is expected
to accelerate action on the part of the city in providing
facilities for the service. It is understood the designation
of this route is contingent upon Brownsville providing an
airport of the required size and with essential facilities
Members of the committee are confident the cost of the
site and buildings would not exceed $100000 and that

PLEA IS MADE
Sunstroke Injured Wo-
man Lawyer Tells
Governor Smith
STATE CAPITOL ALBANY. N. Y..
Jan. 5.—i/P)—A sunstroke suffered
as a tittle girl so affected Mrs. Ruth
Snyder’s mind when she grew up
her lawyer told Governor Smith to-
day that she lost her sense of re-
sponsibility and so could not help
killing her husband.
In accordance with custom neither
Mrs. Snyder nor Henry Judd Gray
themselves were present. They wait-
ed the outcome in their Sing Sing
cells which at prseent they were
scheduled to leave n week from to-
day only to pay the extreme penalty
for their murder of Mrs. Snyder’s
husband in the death chamber.
Edgar Hazelton. counsel for Mrs.
Snyder said that in early childhood
Mrs. Snyder suffered from a seri-
ous sunstroke.
-This was concealed from me”
he said “until recently but now I
have found out that these events
overshadowed her whole life. She
was after that subject to moments
of great joy and great depression.
She was subject to attacks of epi-
lepsy or perhaps some strange bor-
der land malady of the mind.
“I am advised by a psychiatrist
that she is in a twilight zone of
responsibility.

members of the committee state.
They are not considering sites under
64(J acres.
"The announcement of the post-
master general should stimulate ev-
ery resident of Brownsville to re-
newed efforts to secure an airport
as soon as possible” Mr. ( reager
said. "His announcement signmes
that Brownsville will be the concen-
tration point for practically all air
mail going to or coming out of
Mexico; and the air service will
eventually b^ extended to other Latin
American countries. This will mean
an immense volume of traffic going
through this port.
“Commerciai air service is certain
to follow the establishment of the
air mail. Ia fact it has preceded it
though in a small way. What this
means to Brownsville in the future
is not difficult to visualize. Air
transportation is developing far
more rapidly than did either rail or
motor transportation when they were
innovations in the transportation
field. Air traffic has already been
developed to the point where it has
sssumed a position of great import-
ance and its developments in the
next year or two will be rapid.
"Brownsville shouli have its mu-
nicipal airport completed by the
time the government is ready to let
the contracts for the Latin American
mail service. 1 believe the people of
th city are fully cognizant of what
the designation of this route means
to them and will be virtually unani-
mous in voting the bonds to finance
the immediate} development of an
airport.”

: Seiberling ‘Grubstaked
By Friend For Millions
NEW YORK N. Y Jan. 5 VP)
— Edgar B. Davit the "angel” of
the only free show ever presented
on Broadway today was revealed
as a man who "grubstaked” a
friend for $3000000 in gratitude
for a $57000 loan which led to his
own entry into the millionaire
class.
The friend was Frank A. Seiber-
ling. The two men met in New
1 York 20 years ago when Davis was
president of the United States
Tire and Rubber company and
Seiberling was head of the Good-
year Tire and Rubber company.
Davis later quit the rubber in-
dustry and spent his entire for-
tune in a vain search for oil in
Texas. Pressed for money but
confident he would strike oil he
appealed to Seiberiing whom he
had not seen for ten years. Sei-
herling loaned him $57000. Pavis
struck oil. and sold his holdings
to the standard Oil company for
$12000000.

Goodyear and virtually ‘‘broke.'*

TEXAS PLANES
LIKETAMPirO
Thought to Have Re-
mained There Over
Thursday
Although no news has been re-
ceived here early Thursday after-
noon from the Texas good-will am-
bassadors to Mexico who are placing
additional blazing* along the air
mail trail laid out by Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh and his famous mother it
is unofficially understood that the
party was to remain in Tampico
over Thursday because of adverse
flying conditions between there and
Mexico City.
The modern trade trip consisting
of a convoy of airplanes containing
newspaper men and chamber of
commerce officials dropped safely
into Tampico shortly after 1 p. m.
Wednesday a little more than 2
hours after the take-off from here.
Although the air was reported in
almost perfect condition for flying
low-hanging clouds and a dense fog
over the mountain regions between
Tampico gnd Mexico City caused a
postponement of tha journey until
Thursday or latef.
It is thought quit* possible here
that the two planes were waiting
in Tampico for E. J. Snyder crack
pilot of the Mexican Aviation com-
pany to return from a trip and
serve as guide over tha long route
between the two cities.
Snyder rode with Harry Brooks
pilot of the big plana carrying Mrs.
Lindbergh on the hop from Tampico
to the capital.
Besides G. C. Richardson secre-
tary of the local chamber of com-
merce the higger plane piloted by
Frank Hawkes contains T. L. Evans
of the Houston chamber of com-
merce. Ralph Vradford. of the Cor-
pus Christi Chamber and J. H. B.
Hf use water commissioner Of Hous-
ton.
The other plane is carrying J. R
Watts of the Chronicle staff and
Paul C. Yates editorial writer for
the rost-Disratrh. as well as W. T.
House. Jr.. The plane is piloted by
Reg Robbins.
sets were taken over by the Pru-
dential Securities company which
Davis helped organise putting in
$500000 himself and endorsing
notes for $5500000.
Last year Seiberling rubber re-
turned a net profit of $1355707.
And a few yean ago Seiberling
took un the notes and released
Davis as guarantor. Davis refused
to accept interest Seiberling said.
The two have row organized a
new corporation which holds 13!-
000 shares of Goodyear common
stock valued at yesterday's clos-
ing prices at $9170000.
Davis came into public notice
when he backed “The Ladder.”
known as the greatest flop ever to
enjoy a run on Broadway. The
play opened in October 1926 and
has been a financial failure since
its opening night. Davis is esti-
mated to have lost $750000 on its
production hut has announced he
has no intention of withdrawing
it. The play deals with reincarna-
tion a theory Davis encountered
in India and in which he firmly
believes. Admission to the show
