The story of a prolonged gin party,
an argument and then a struggle
during which state senator Roy T.
Yates of New Jersey, prominent
club man. banker and lawyer, was
shot and critically wounded, was
i elated today by Miss Ruth Jayne
to acting district attorney Tnomas

According to her story, Kane
■aid, Yates, one of the youngest
and had taught school in this sec-
tion, frequently applauded his
words.
Touching further on national
affairs, Governor Murray ridicul-
ed the idea that bankers should
control the bank board. He de-
clared there should be some mer-
chants and some farmers on the
board as well.
The governor arrived here late
this morning. He visited with

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 14
(UP)—Two state governors, tall,
mustached, tobacco-chewing "Al-
falfa Bill” Murray of Oklahoma,
and jovial 205-pourc) Ross Ster-
“ itas, studied today the
first results of their united fight
for $1 oil, while the whole petro-
leum industry wondered what their
next moves would be.
The first results were a 5-cent
increase by one company on oil
purchased in East Texas and of-
fers by two others to pay $1 a
barrel for crude oU if Governor
Murray takes his troops out of
the flush fields of Oklahoma.
"If I were convinced the offers
were made in good faith, I might
allow them to open up with wells
and produce,’’ Governor Murray
said. “The companies are on the
right track, but they’ve got to
keep moving.”
After making this declaration,
Murray laid the offers over to
Monday and started for Weather-
ford, Tex., where he once taught
school, to attend an old settler’s
reunion.
Governor Sterling, meanwhile,
still held the threat of martial law
over the rampant East Texas field
If the new conservation law fails
to stop waste of the State's re-
sources and bring about higher
prices by curtailing production.
Sterling’s threat to follow Mur-'
ray’s example and send the na-
tional guard into the oil fields was
credited by many with getting the

The criticism anti fine were the
outgrowth of the effort of Earn-

ty on a charge of forgery, to se-
cure his release on overtime work
he has accumulated during his
term.
Judge Dean denied Pace a Hab-

Pace had earned his overtime al-
though they could not act be-
cause of limitations set up by the
law. Pace’s attorneys said they
would appeal to the court of crim-

Judge Dean criticized the prison

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 14.
(UP)—A story of how an elderly
man was kidnaped and locked In an
empty box car for five days was In-
vestigated today while Ira McClure
Allegheny, Pa., was recovering his
strength In a hospital.
McClure was found In the empty
fruit car here by transients. He was
semi-conscious. He said he had sot
forth for the Pacific Coast several
weeks ago. In a suburban town—
between Fort Worth and Dallar.
Texas—he couldn’t remember the
name—he was robbed of |140 and
his suit of clothes by two men who
lured hltg to their car. That was
last Saturday.
The men gave him an old suit In
exchange, drove him to the freight
yards, shoved him Into an empty
car and locked the door.
TOKEPA, Kan., Aug. 14 (UP)
—Three men today held up a mes-
senger for the Merchants National
Bank here and robbed him of
$17,500. The men escaped in a
car bearing a Texas license.
The money taken by the rob-
bers was for the Santa F6 Rail-
road payroll at Hutchinson, New-
ton and Belle Plain. P . A. Hadl-
strom, assistant cashier of the
bank, who was in charge of the
money, said the men drove south
after the robbery.
The money was In two pack-
ages. One of the men sat in a
car with a shotgun pointed at the
messengers while the other two
took the money,
able to gi
one of the men who he said was
about 25 years old and dark-com-
plected. One of the robbers wore
a mask. .
By THE HOME TOWNER.
Jess Alford comes forward with
a splendid suggestion for all
"home towners” to follow in meet-
ing various types-of stock sales-
men, ^vho for several days have
been flooding Henderso n seeking
to sell stock in this or that par-
ticular project . . . some of which
may be good, others obviously a
gamble.
Mr. Alford points out there are
plenty of opportunities in this city
to make investments in which one
may own the property outright—
pay good diyi-
be here where
the owner may watch develop-
ments, always know just what is
going on and be assured his in-
vestment is safe.
He suggests real estate—either
in the city or in Rusk county—
as an investment where safety is
assured. If stock is desired, and
stock only, there are a number of
issues that may be secured in
thriving Industries that may be
had — the corporations having
their directing heads here, he con-
tends.
Several salesmen have been in
towns recently offering varied is-
sues of stocks in other cities and
seeking to use Henderson capital
to build up industries elsewhere.
At times it has become embar-
rassing for local business men to
"shake”- these persistent promot-
ers, for they have plenty of en-
ergy and stick-to-itiveness in of-
fering their issues and hesitate to
take anything but cash for an an-
swer. ,
"Many Choice lots, some busi-
ness property and many Rusk
county farms are for sale,” said
Alford—who is not in thq real
estate business, being a member
of the firm of Alford Bros,, Ford
dealers, and believes local capital
should be invested here.
“If some movement could be
started,” he said today,-"to bring
about sentiment to this end it
would not only be profitable for
the community, but also profita-
ble for those who invest.”

PANAMA. (UP)—Ten prisoners,

of their cells, sighing in gladness
at their escape from the beating
rays of the Isthmian sun. Came an
order from somewhere higher up
to ship them out to Escobal to work

Ten prisoners went Into a huddle.
Shortly afterward the desk ser-
geant on duty smelled smoke. The

ing.
The ten were locked In solitary
punishment cells and after staying
there for what the police authori-
ties deem a sufficltnt time they
will be clothed by the State and
sent out on the roads as planned.
TEXAS GUARDSMEN IN
ARMY BASE HOSPITAL
Superintendent C. 0. Pollard
of the local schools and W. F.
Hubbard, member of the board,
are expected back tonight from a
trip to Austin to see just how
much the Henderson Independent
School district will get out of the
educational bill passed by the epe^
cial session of tne legislature reg-
ulating transfers of pupils from
one district to another.
Messrs. Pollard and Hubbard
personally requested the govern-
or to submit this bill a few days
ago when the school survey re-
vealed that while the local schools
would have about 350 transfers
only about 180 were from other
Texas counties. The old law pro-
vided that a school district enjoy-
ing a 20 per cent increase in scho-
lastics from transfers would re-
ceive the regular prorata along
with the transfers. The 180 from
other Texas counties, however,
did not make up the required 20
per. cent, and Henderson’s spokes-
men pointed out the hardship and
burden these and other transfers
from out of Texas would put on
the school unless the city enjoyed
the apportionment allowance along
with the new pupils.
Governor Sterling and State
Superintendent Marrs appreciated
this injustice, so the special bill
was submitted (applying to all the
state) and was passed on the last
day of the legislative session.
E. M. Preston here estimates
the “good started by Pollard and
Hubbard will amount to about
$3,000 for the local independent,
district.”

28 days the Texas legislature fail-

Governor. Then he made his de-
claration, and two days later, six
hours before the session ended, the
legislature passed the measure.
Its effect was considered prob-
lematical, but Sterling, who wort-
ened a fishing trip to hurry action
by telling his plans for martial
law, still held the whip hand.
“The new law has teeth in it,”
he said. “But I might slap on

KANSA8 CITY, Aug. 14. (UP)—
The Kansas City Journal-Post in a
front page story, partly in bold
face type, today questioned the au-
thenticity of a etory carried in
Wednesday’s Kansas City Star rel-
ative to Kansas natural gas re-
sources.
Henry L. Doherty purported to
quote Dr. R. E. Moore, State geol-
ogist of Kansas, to the effect that
the State ‘‘has sufficient supply of
gas within her own borders to sup-
ply the needs of the State as at
present for 100 years.
The Journal-Post today says that
It obtained a- statement from Dr.
Haymond C. Moore, head of the
geology department of the Univer-
sity of Kansas and Kansas State
geologist, “that no such report has
been made and that any figures in-
dicating the volume of gas avail-
able are premature and unauthor-
ized.”
"It will be noted that the Star
didn't even have Dr .Moore’s initials
right,” the Journal Post says. ‘‘His
name is Raymond C. Moore. The
Star labeled him ‘R. E. Moore'.”

DALLAS, Aug. 14. (UP)—Mrs.
Rosalie Broom, 32, was arrested
today in connection with investi-
gation of the torch murder of Eu-
gene Farrar on the day he was
scheduled to marry Irene Brewster
at Durant .Okla.
Sheriff Hal Hood was told that
Mrs. Broom and Farrar had been
friends before he began paying at-
tentions to Miss Brewster. Mrs.
Broom denied this. She was ar-
rested at Corgicana
Included in the theories now be-
ing considered by investigators Is
one that the body burned in the au-
tomobile which had been borrowed
by Farrar was not his but that of
a person already dead. Advocates
of this theory advanced the Idea
that he planned to ‘‘duck out” of
his scheduled marriage of the 17-
year-old Brewster girl.
She denied this and also said that
she did not believe that he could
have committed suicide.

AUSTIN, Aug. 14 (UP)—The
Texas Railroad Commission today
had changed the date of its first
hearing under the new oil and gas
conservation law to Aug. 25, from
the originally announced Aug. 24.
The hearing will be to determine
whether wasteful production
ists in the East Texas field,
will be held here.
The commission’s formal notice
said the hearing will be for the
purpose of determining whether or
not waste is taking place or is
reasonably imminent in said field
and if so what rules, regulations,
or orders shall be adopted and en-
forced for the prevention of waste
in said field; and also what rules,
regulations or orders shall be
adopted for enforcement of or per-
taining to the common carrier and
common purchaser laws.
When Governor Ross Sterling
signed the new law Wednesday
night, C. V. Terrell, chairman of
the commission, was informed
Aug. 24 would be the first legal
day for a hearing. The attorney
general’s department has advised
the commission to wait another
day for safety's sake.

to help “frame” hlfl friend, chief

"I called Crawford a dirty, low

"I told him I was going out and

around this filthy suggestion. I

‘‘Crawford told me that no one

Knight identified two paid war-
rants issued to Carlisle. One was
for $66,757.65 and the other for
$8,088.95.
Markhqm said he had audited
various fee accounts presented by
sheriff Carlisle and which had
been approved by judge Price.
Markham said he had advised
against payment of the allegedly
multiple mileage accounts, and had
explained his attitude to Price.
Price, he said, told him he under-
stood his position all right but
that the state owed Carlisle mon-
ey and that tnd accounts should
be paid.
Altogether sheriff Carlisle pre-
sented, with Price’s approval, ac-
counts totalling $33,187.65 for the
October, and April, 1926 term of
court in Lee county, Markham tes-
tified. Then he read the popula-
tion of Lee county—14,014 in 1920
and 13,309 In 1930.
As Markham read these and
many another figure the face of
Judge Price remained expression-
less. The 66-year-old Jurist of the
21st judicial district seldom con-
fers with his several attorneys, but
keeps his eyes on the witness, ap-
parently listening intently. Today
he wore a red carnation in his
button-hole. One leg is stiff, and he
carries a cane.
R. L. Batts, chairman of the
board of regents of the University
of Texas and head of Price's de-
fense battery objected repeatedly
to the admission of testimony ‘‘not
in the allegations,” to ‘‘hearsay”
evidence and to “conclusions being
drawn by the witness.” He was
•just as repeatedly overruled. When
Markham was asked by Assistant
Attorney General Grady Sturgojn,
who conducted his examination, to
repeat the total of the Carlisle ac-
counts of the October, 1925, and
April, 1926 terms, he objected that
“this has already been gotten into
the record illegally once.”
Rep. Harry N. Graves, of George-
town, one of the House's attorneys,
then objected to Batt’s remark, and
said he thought the House’s attor-
neys were entitled to courtesy.
Batts apologized.
On cross- examination defense
counsel tried to make Markham ad-
mit the comptroller had approved
the allegedly multiple mileage ac-
counts. Markham would not, how-
ever go behind the records, though
he said he was told In the comp-
troller’s office that the comptroller
had no power to withhold payment
since the accounts had been
proved by a district judge.

Doherty’s Paper
Opens Attack Upon
Kansas City Star
BEAUMONT, Tex., Aug. 14
(UP)—Economic planning and
far-visioned action will be the
basis upon which this nation will
build its business in the future,
Walter Parker, economic counsel
of the American Cotton Shippers’
Association, New Orleans, said in
an address at the dedication of
the new cotton terminal and ware-
house here today.
But before this nation can cap-
italize on the new economic or-
der, it must change some of its
laws. The high tariff has been
proved by experience to be an
economic fallacy, he said.
“It is equally obvious that we
cannot compel the world to pay
more for our cotton and wheat
than it must pay ‘for cotton and
wheat produced elsewhere,” he
added. “Consequently, the fed-
eral farm board, bereft of its gla-
mour, stands revealed as a cost-
ly, useless imposition on enter-
prise.”
Economic planning, intelligent
forethought, far-visioned action
alone can enable this nation to
hold the most advantageous posi-
tion in the world, Parker caution-
ed.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Cola,

confessed last night he shot. Lewis
Palmer, last July 20, when he
found Palmer in Prospect Park
with his daughter, Glenda King,
18.
"Sheriff, I did it,” King blurt-
ed out after hours of questioning.
He said he went to the park to
“protect Glenda,”, and found the
pair. Palmer made a threatening
move, and King shot him, father
and daughter agreed.
Still living, Palmer was loaded
into his own automobile by Glenda
and hete father, and Glenda drove
away. She debated whether to
take him to a hospital, and Palm-
er bled to death slowly during
the eerie ride through deserted
streets.

PARIS, (UP)—Although
maritime nations of the world
have more ships idle than at any
other time in the past, nearly
2,000,000 tons of additional ves-
sels are now being built, it has
been announced here.
French shipyards alone are con-
structing 211,940 tons, and most
ship owners here envisage with
apprehension the completion of
this tonnage, which is-' expected
accentuate the shipping crisis be-
cause of keener competition.
In the view of competent au-
thorities the present difficulties
are due to over-optimism at the
end of the war, when countries .be-
lieved the reorganization of con-
ditions would cause a boom in in-
ternational trade, with consequent
need of large mercantile, fleets.
The United States, Britain and
France began a friendly shipping
race, building both passenger and
commercial vessels. The tonnage
lost during the war was soon re-
placed, but the building of other
vessels continued.
The world constructions for this
year, however, show a reduction
over 1930. Seven countries now
are building more than 100,000
tons of shipping, with the United
Kingdom in the lead with 550,000
tons, then the United States, 301,-
489 tons; France, 211,940 tons;
Italy, 170,658 tons; Germany, 130,-
651 tons, and Sweden and Holland
slightly more than 100,000 tons
apiece. Denmark is building 90,-
000 tons; Spain 60,700 and Nor-
way 23,165 tons. The exact world
total of construction is 1,825,987
tons.
The French shipping companies
are advocating the formation of
an international council of ship
owners which would apportion the
markets of the world amongst the'
various companies, thus avoiding
cut-throat competition.
Such a council would apparently
function on the lines of the ship-
ping conference, which at present
deals mainly with passenger traf-
fic. Each country would be given
a quota of traffic to and from
certain other countries, this re-
maining in force until the crisis
passes. No plan is indicated for
the regulation of shipping con-
struction.
The plight of French shipping Is
indicated by the appeal for Gov-
ernment financial aid made by the
Compagnie Generale Trans-atlan-
tique. Other companies indicate
that unless conditions improve
they also will require to turn to
the Government if they are to
keep the French flag flying on the
seas. —’
