Gladewater, Texas, Oct. 28.—Three
men were held in jail here Sunday in
connection with the death of Bessie
Morrison, 22, pretty telephone opera-
tor, found dead in a tourist camp
early in the day.
Assistant District Attorney Fred
Erisman of Longview came here to
conduct an investigation of the girl’s
death. He said her death is ‘^believed
to have come from one of three
causes, and we will not release any
information as yet.”
An autopsy on the girl’s body was
held immediately after the arrest of
the three men but information was
withheld. The body, partially clad,
was found on a bed at the tourist
camp. A neighbor of the girl, who
lived in the cabin with a girl com-
panion, said a woman attempted to
make her way to a telephone last
The marriage of Miss Jeffie Sims
and Mr. J. S. Freshour was solemn-
ized Saturday morning in the pastor’s
study at the Baptist Church, Rev. J.
N. Vandiver performing the sacred
ring ceremony.
The bride is the attractive daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Sims of the
Hickory Hill community. She is a
graduate of Mt. Pleasant High School
and the E T. S. T. C. at Commerce.
The groom is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. W. Freshour of Commerce,
and is also a graduate of the E. T.
S. T. C., but is well known in this
county, having taught in the schools
here for the past four years. He ir-

Both have many friends who wish
for them much happiness.

The price reductions began when
one small company, the ‘Atlas Pipe
line cut East Texas crude to 60 cents.
Meanwhile, three men constituting
the federal tender board, took the
first step in the government’s cam-
paign to stop interstate or foreign
commerce shipments of hot oil or
products refined from it by receiv-
ing applications from 24 operators
for permits based on legality of their
crude. A federal order forbidding
acceptance of such shipments unless
accompanied by a federal ..tender be-
came effective early Thursday.
Most of the first applications were
rejected because information deemed
necessary had not been supplied and
Norman L. Myers, chairman of the
board, explained to the applicants
what additional facts they should
supply.
Kilgore, Texas, Oct. 25.—Two more
crude oil price cuts disturbed the
mid-continent oil industry Thursday
but the East Texas field, source of
tremendous quantities of illegal pe-
troleum, remained quiet while state
and national governments began
plugging away at the long-standing
“leak” in this area.
Miss Juanita Hardy, assistant sec-
retary of the Independent Refiners’
Association of East Texas .announced
that East Texas refiners had signed
100 per cent an agreement for re-
newal with major companies the
plan for purchasing "distress” oil in
the field.
The reduction, announced by the
Kanotex Refining company of Ar-
kansas City, Kas., the Globe Refin-
ing company, and the Ouachita Re-
fining company, came at a time when
night but three men prevented her major companies in Texas and Okla-

Tokio, Oct. 26.—The Japanese For-
eign Office indicated Friday that the
British and American Governments
will receive little satisfaction in con-
nection with their protests to Tokio
concerning the Manchukuan oil mo-
nopoly. Japanese newspapers were
forbidden to publish anything con-
cerning the monopoly.
Dickens, Texas, Oct. 27.—Scores of
West Texas peace officers massed on
the Plains between Claremont and
Snyder Sunday night in the search
for Virgil Stalcup, desperado under
sentences totaling 254 years, and
Clarence Brown, his killer companion,
slayers of Sheriff W. B. Arthur in the
county jail here Saturday.
The hunt swung to that section aft-
er a previous report that the Sher-
iff’s automobile, used by the killers
in their flight, had been found at

Washington, Oct. 26.—Official opin-
ion here backfired quickly Friday on
an assertion by a Japanese Foreign
Office spokesman that Japan had no
lesponsibility for the Manchukuo
crnment’s mainttenance of the oepn
door policy in Manchukuo.
Officials here saw in this statement,
an attempt to be clever in the shift-
of stage props in the Far East to
make it appear the Japanese Govern-
ment had no hand in the Manchukuo
Government’s maintenance of the open
create a State oil monopoly closely
allied with Japanese oil and financial
interests. I
The United States, Great Britain
and the Netherlands have made
formal representations to the Japa-
nese Government, protesting such ac-
tion violates the open door policy
which Japan by treaty and by offi-
cii] public declaration is obligated to
respect.
These representations inferentially
hold the Japanese Government re-
sponsible for action of the Manchukuo
Government, recognized by only one
foreign country, Salvador.
Mount Vernon, Texas, Oct. 31.—
A. E. Brooks Sr., 76, died at his home
here Monday. He had been confined
in his room for three years. He was
•one of Mount Vernon’s pioneer dry
goods merchants, he and his father
having started a retail dry goods
store here just after the Civil War.
He was an elder in the Central Chris-
tion Church and was always active in
all moral civic upbuilding and im.
nrovcments of the community.
Fork of the Brazos River, twenty
miles south of Spur, proved erroneous.
Twelve carloads of officers dashed
to the spot after receiving informa-
tion that the machine, covered with
drift, had been located. They hunted
fruitlessly for hours and reported that
the machine was not in that section.
The story of several boys, who said
they saw an automobile resembling
that of the slain Sheriff’s, between
Claremont and Snyder, sent the big
pvsse to that vicinity.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 29.—Destitute
mtn, women and children of Travis
County camped at the Texas capitol
entrance Monday night in a "starve
or get relief” strike.
Only 14 were in the main group,
though their leader said many oth-
ers strolled around the capitol
grounds.
The destitute swore they would
starve in pubile until sufficient ra-
tions were given them.

Fullfilment of the convention’s
"recommendation” would entail dis-

r-f about $2,000,000,000, but this, the
Legion held “will not create an ad-
ditional debt, but will discharge and
retire and acknowledged contract ob-
ligation of the government.”
The convention, in its closing bu-
siness session of the sixteenth annual
meeting, also asked cancellation of
interest charged against the certi-
ficates for loans already made to vet-
erans, and a refund of collections
made on this amount.
This would save certificate holders
an estimated $1,000,000,009 although
much of this would be but a book-1
keeping loss for the government, and
not a cash outlay.
With scattered boos directed at op-
posing delegations, the Legion voted
for the bonus resolution 987 to 183,
