UNIVERSITY OUSTS
54 FOR HAZING
NORMAN, Okla., Sept. 27.—Ruf
Neks and Jazz' Hounds are no more.
These pep organizations which have
been the terror of freshmen and a
vivid clash of color in their flaming
shirts and sAveaters at football games
so long that they have become a part
of the tradition of the University of
Oklahoma, were abolished by the
board of regents today and their 54
members were suspended, pending an
investigation of alleged insubordina-
tion.
The offense occurred Wednesday
night when the two organizations, in
apparent defiance of the regents’ rul-
Red Cross, today advised against an
appeal to the generosity of the Amer-
ican people.
In the opinion of the commission
members, Ernest P. Bicknell, William
Baxter and Ernest J. Swift, China
should be permitted to work out her
OAvn salvation. In fact, to extend fam-
ine relief under present* conditions
would retard ultimate recovery; they
said.
The report covered chaotic political
conditions held responsible for the
famine. It set forth that suffering was
due to failure in distribution rather
than to shortage of food.

MORE TEXAS CENSUS *
SUPERVISORS NAMED
Washington, Sept. 27.—Texas sup-
ervisors for the 1930 census and their
districts announced by the census bu-
reau today included:
Thomas L. Dali of Wichita Falls
for Archer, Baylor, Clay, Jack, Wich-
ita, Wilbarger and Young counties,
rng against hazing, assembled their iM headquarters in Wichita Falls,
pledges, each bearing a bundle of! W Stitt of t ort Worth for
paddles, and marched them away to j Denton, Tarrant and Wise counties,
secret meeting places for initiation jheadquarters in F ort Worth,
rites. They had been warned during | William L. Turner of Brownwood
the day by Dr. W. B. Bizzell, presi- for Brown> Burnet, Coleman, Llano,
dent of the university, that the use
of paddles in initiation would mean
expulsion. Whether the paddles were
used in the initiation was not reveal-
ed, and what took place at the secret
xueeting places also Avas guarded as a
secret.
In previous years the initiations
have been public. The novices have
been lined up and marched through
Norman to the tune of special enter-
ing paddles.
That novitiates expected a paddling
when they were herded to the initiat-
ing grounds was attested by the pad-
ding in their trousers.
Frank Buttram, chairman of the
board of regents, said that the in-
vestigation will be conducted tonight.
All members of the organizations will
be summoned before the board for in-
terrogation.
FOR SALE—321 acres in Burnet
county on Lampasas River. 100 acres

goat and poultry raising. Good im- j mittee, composed of D, F. Moore, W.

Lawrence E. Bennett of Browns-
ville for Brooks, Cameron, Duvall,
Hidalgo, Jim Hogg, Jim Wells, Kle-
berg, Kenedy, Neuces, Starr, Webb,
Willacy and Zapata counties, with
headquarters in Brownsville.
With the men back in custody of the
state, Warden E. F. Harrell predic-
ted others in the group of tubercular
prisoners who made the break early
Saturday would be recaptured within
12 hours.
Two of the convicts, Lloyd David-
son and Leander- Gaines, negro, were
taken into custody by Sheriff Joe
Gibson at Madisonville. He found them
hiding in a vacant house, both sur-
rendered quietly. Davidson was serv-
ing 99 years for murder in Navarro
county. Gaines was sentenced to eight
years for theft from McLennan coun-
ty.
The third convict, Lack Lebo, was
recaptured at Palestine. He was con-
victed of murder in Shelby county
and given 50 years.
Warden Harrell dispatched four
guards and two packs of blood hounds
to Bedias, Grimes county. He was in-
foi'med that seven or eight convicts
had been' seen near there.
The convicts escaped by crawling
through an 83 foot tunnel which op-
ened beneath a prison building outside
the Avire fence enclosure.

FORT WORTH, Sept. 27.—Emphat-
ic denial that they considered in any
way withdrawal from the ranks -of
the democratic party or alignment
with republican forces in Texas was
made today at a meeting of anti-
Tammany democrats from all sections
of the state. The meeting, which was
an all-day closed session, was pres-
ided over by Alvin Moody of Hous-
ton, leader of the anti-Tammany forc-
es in the recent national election, and
Centralization Commission instead of
the usual Prison System error of about
$100,000 each year,” was the assertion
made here Saturday by Representa-
tive A. H. King of Throckmorton
County, member of the Commission
and chairman of the House Committee
on Penitentaries.
“There is no doubt but that a ma-
jority of the committee in its session
at Houston next Tuesday will recom-
mend that the walls o'f the prison be
moved to a point near Austin and per-
mit the farms to be retained in the
Southern part of the State,” went on
King, “and I shall vigorously oppose
it with a minority report which will
probably be signed by Senator Nat
Patton and Representatives Ed Mur-
phy of Necogdoches and Harry Graves
of Georgetown and possibly others.
“Such a movement would be the
worst thing that could happen for the
University city of Austin and for the
economies of the State Prison Sys-
i tem. Our observation over the United
vyas held in a room at a local hotel.
Chief among the anti-Tammany re- j States is that where a State prison is

TROPICAL STORM IN
DIMINISHED FORCE
SHIFTS FOR INLAND
Mobile, Ala., Sept. 30.—Tropical
hurricane struck the gulf coast to-
night.
The wind raged for hours, reaching
a velocity of 100 miles an hour.
The center of the storm appeared
to be in the i*egion of Pensacola, Fla.,
50 miles southeast of Mobile.
Mobile escaped the center of the
storm and the wind here did not ex-
ceed 50 miles an hour, according to
estimates.
Pensacola was cut off from com-
munication with Mobile shortly after 4
o’clock but at 8 o’clock tonight com-
munication was re-established. At
that hour the storm was abating, the
wind having diminished to 45 miles
an hour.
