Sheriff E. W. Warnell of Navarro

by city detectives after a nine months'
search, to Corsicana to face grand

According to Sheriff Warnoil, Mc-
Cann went to Currle at the time of the
oil boom and opened a private un-
incorporated bank, soliciting deposits
from farmers and oil workers. Last
September, when the boom waned, Mc-
Cann and his cashier disappeared with
37000 cash, the sheriff said. Since then
nothing had been heard of either of
the bank officials until McCann was

to them and to a people who at such
a time as this are amusing themselves
in the way the Germans are today, the
words of Hamlet to Polonius:
"He's for a jig or a tale of bawdry,
| or he sleeps.’*
And what are the German people
I doing today, five years after a most
; terrible defeat and five months after
the occupation of the Ruhr? Let me
give you a list of some of the most
! popular successes at the theatres and
the music halls:
"The Princess of Virtue."
"The Fam."
"The Spring Fairy.”
“The Foolish Virgin."
"Th® Lady with the Monocle.”
"The Battle of the Sexes.”
"The Blue Pajamas."
"The Chaste Joseph.”
“The Breeches.”
"The Sins of Berlin."
These and other things like them,
presented not only in the theatres but
I in cinemas and cabarets, cannot be
described for decent cars. With pos-
I sfbly a single exception these pieces
are utterly worthless and dependent
for success solely upon elaborate deco-
rations, collections on smutty jokes
and the exhibition of naked or half
naked women.
The "enjoyments” cost 5.000 marks
(normally 11,250) for tho poorest seats
up to 50,000 and 60,000 marks for the
best places. Wherever two or three
shapely women can be soon quite
naked, together with almost naked
chorus girls, ticket speculators easily
got 100,000 marks for a seat. Business

demanded, besides an apology for the
Changsha incident, punishment of the
Japanes marine commander and his
men who killed and wounded a number
of Chinese during the anti-Japanese
demonstration at Shanghal, Indemnity
for the families of the Chinese victims
and guarantees that there would be no
recurrence of the Affair.
.Tho Japanese foreign office has de-
clined to enter into any negotiations
over the incident until the troublo
which was caused by the Chinese
boycott of Japanese goods is settled.
Tokio, however, has asked China to
take immediate steps to quell the boy-
cott disturbances and has informed
Peking that Japan always will under-
take to defend the lives and property
of her nationals.
It was in accordance with this later
principle that the four Japanese de-
troyers were dispatched today to re-
inforce tho patrol of the Yanztse
River, where further disturbances are
feared owing to the spread-of the boy-
cott movement.
With regard to the Changsha inci-
dent Japan insist that her marines
acted purely on tho defensive, that
she has no intention of taking any
papers. E. G. Senter Q the Dallas
Industrial News took emphatic oppo-
sition with the speaker.
“If newspapers wero bonded as a
guarantee to pay libel claims," said
Mr. Senter, "every weekly paper in
the state would be forced to go out
of business in five years. If such a
law were to be passed, weekly news-
paper owners may as well prepare to
sell their publications to a big syndi-
cate. It would be impossible to make
such ft bond.”
