Congress passes a bill creating
a board to administer some phase
of government. The desire al-
ways is to make administration
just as free from political preju-
dice as is possible—and to elimi-

the administrators.
That is the unusual part of the
decision—making officially right

this nation, the popular mind,
has considered undemocratic and
subversive to the best govern-
ment.

be built by W. B. West, Jr., at

The garage will be a two-story

As Many As Necessary
“It is, the intention of the gov- j
ernment to assign as many Ma-
rines as needed to fully protect
the malls," was the assurance
brought to Fort Worth by Super-
intendent Gaines.
“I have had a number of con.
ferences with inspectors in charge
at Austin and St. Louis, also with
representatives of inspectors in
charge at Kansas City, and tele-
graph correspondence with inspec-
tor in charge at Denver, and now
have a full program outlined for
the protection of malls thruout
the division, which /comprised Ar-

Representatives from Denver,

been called Into the conference,
Gaines explained, because their
territories overlap that of the

TOLEDO, Ohio, «t. 27.— Fotedo
citizens were arming themselves
today to aid in the search for a
maniac "slugger" following the
second slaying of a woman with-
in 24 hours. A "slugger" is be-
lieved responsible for the deaths
of four women and the beating of
seven others within a yeak.
Mrs. Mary Alden, TT, was
found shot and beaten to death
in her home last night. The scene
of the latest crime was near
where the body of Miss LHly
Croy, 26 years old, a school teach-
er, was found early yesterday.
The slayings bear so close a
similarity to the killings of two
women and attacks on several
others a years ago that police be-
lieve they are all the work of the
same person. Women of the city
have been warned to remain
within doors at night unless ac-
companied by escorts.
Large rewards have been of-
fered for the capture of the slug-
ger.

The raise, which goes into ef-

Mayor H. C. Meacham haa an-

by attorneys for Rev. J. Frank
Norris, pastor of the Flrat Baptist
Church, who goes on trial for
murder Monday, for killing D. E.
Chipps, it developed Wednesday.
Neither Meacham’s attorney nor
attorney* for Norris would make
the answers public. Each aide de- .
dare they had no objection* to the
questions being given out by the
other side.' ___
The answers were made to a
list of questions concerning
Meacham’s conversation with D.
E. Chipps prior to his death.
"Pass the Buck”
“I wouldn’t reveal the contents
of the Mayor’s letter in answer
to my question," Marvin Simpson,
Norris attorney, said. Meacham’*
attorneys know what the answer*
were; let them say.”
"The other side made the ques-
tions public, so let them make the
answers public," countered Walter
Scott one of the special prosecu-
tors and attorney to whom
Meacham submitted his answers
before they were given to Simp-
son. “The Mayor is a witness for
1 the defense, and it would not be
ethical for us to give the an-
swers."
Mayor Meacham said the
answers were simple, and he had
no objection to their publication,
if it was agreeable to attorneys.
With only three days left to
prepare for the trial, attorneys
are busy preparing details.
May Take Stand.
Simpson declared a complete
vindication would be the only out-
come that could be satisfactory to
the defense. He said it was still
undetermined whether Dr. Norris
would take witness stand in his
own defense.
W. P. McLean declared the
State would get a conviction if
Norris does take the witness stand
in his own behalf.
Criminal District Clerk Balch
issued subpoenas for 17 addition-
al defense witnesses Wednesday.
Three witnesses whose names
had not been previously announc-
ed were included in the list. They
are B. C. Baldwin, ranger captain
of San Antonio.; L. B. Haughey,
manager of H. C. Meacham’s, and .
Mrs. Walter Blevins.
Preliminary, unofficial estimate
of the city’s property valuation
was set at 3168,000,000 by City
Manager O. E. Carr Wednesday
afternoon.
The figure is 32,000,000 less
than that used by Carr in prepar-
ing his budget for the year Octo-
ber, 1926, to October, 1927.
Carr said Wednesday that no
items would be pared from the
budget, because of an unappropri-
ated balance left in the city treas-
ury from the past year, which will
be used to help finance the budget.
The decrease in valuation will
mean a drop in the city revenue
from the estimated amount of ap-
proximately 328,400.
Had it not been for the 2-mill
tax raise authorized by the City
Council, it would have been im-
possible for the city to meet the
demands of its present budget,
Carr said, and wuld have meant
cutting down -several important
items.
The Board of Equalization has
practically finished its work, and
is expected to discontinue its ses-
sions some time this week.
Several hundred major protests
were heard and settled by the
board during its sittings, which
followedahe ,complete revaluation
of all1 city property.
The 3168,000,000 valuation
this year compares with $153,-
