Texas, because it'll be the truth tomorrow."

Death Ends Vigorous Career of Commodore Hatfield, Famed Booster of Canal
for Trinity
Liberty, Texas, March 23 (AP). -- Basil Muse Hatfield, 70-year-old
adventurer who in recent years championed canalization of the Trinity
River, along which he was known as Commodore, died in Mercy Hospital here
Monday after a brief illness.
Funeral services were not complete, but arrangements were being made to
carry out his wish to have his body cremated and the ashes thrown into
the Trinity, which he visioned some day as a busy artery of commerce.
Hatfield was born July 4, 1871, at Washington-on-the-Brazos, where Texas'
Declaration of Independence was signed, the son of a prominent planter.
His grandfather, Basil Muse Hatfield, fought in the army of Gen. Sam
Houston and operated steamboats on the Trinity and Brazos Rivers before
the Texas revolution.
The Commodore began his adventures in distant lands in 1892 when he
joined an English development expedition bound for India, China and
Africa.
He was a British officer in the Boer War and was decorated with the
Victoria Cross.
He fought in the Spanish-American War, built a railroad in Russia,
developed oil fields in the Orient, and was associated with Pancho Villa
in Mexico.
While Hatfield's exploits were many, he kept silent about them and talked
only of his work for the Trinity Valley and canalization of the stream,
which Army engineers have finally recommended.
The Commodore was a candidate for the United States Senate in last
summer's special election, campaigning with the slogan All-Out for
America.
Fort Worth had been his home for years. He is survived by a son, B.M.
Hatfield, submarine torpedoman, first class, United States Navy, believed
now to be in Far East Waters, and a daughter, Sue, of Fort Worth.
Arrangements for services and having his ashes strewn into the Trinity
are in charge of C.A. Miles of Liberty, treasurer of the Forward Trinity
Valley Association; John M. Fouts of Fort Worth, manager of the Trinity
Improvement Association, and Dean Tevis, Beaumont newspaperman who was
one of Hatfield's closest friends. Dallas Morning News, March 24, 1942
