FORT WORTH, Texas. Aug. 5—The
bodies of Dewitt Gooch and Miss
Chdrlie Reece were found under an
overturned automobile on the Lake
Worth road early today. They had
left a party near the kike at midnight,
given as a farewell to Gooch, who was
to have left this morning for Cali-
fornia.
The bodies were found at 6 o’clock
this morning by a passing motorist.
The girl is a niece of Hiram W.
Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux
Klan.
The condition of her body indicated
that life remained several hours after
the accident, while Gooch probably was
killed almost instantly.

Oil Tax Receipts Deposited.
Gross tax receipts on oil of 1139,600
were deposited with the state treasurer
today by the state comptroller. This
sum, with 949,000 received from tax
collectors, brought the general revenue
fund up to $300,000 and insured a cash
basis until some time in September,
C. V. Terrell, state treasurer, said.
Municipal bond of the city of San
Antonio in the sum of $4,300,000 were
approved today by the attorney gen-

proval.
The injunction was asked by a group
of San Antonio taxpayers who have
attempted to block issuance of the
bonds, which have been the subject of
lengthy litigation. The bonds are for
local improvements in San Antonio.
Angered by the charge of Judge Ire-
land Graves that he had gone to Aus-
Jin ministers and hinted that a city
manager form of government Would
likely throw Austin "wide open** on
Sundays, and that his idea of com-
petitive bidding was to award the con-
tract to the local firm with the largest
number of votes, City Commissioner
C. N. Avery, at Monday night’s pro-
manager meeting at Upper East Ave-
nue Park, after requesting and beilt
granted the. privilege of talking from
I the platform, vigorously denied the
charges And said warnfngly: "Judge
Graves has gone a little too far with
me." Throughout his defense of him-
self, the city commissioner was sub-
jected to a barrage of heckling in-
quiries from the crowd. John Lewis
asked Mr. Avery if, in the presence
of John Keen- and C. D. Caswell, he
had not said he had the negro vote
of tMe city in his« pocket. To this
question, Mr. Avery gave a smiling
denial. Another pro-manager fan de-
manded that the city commissioner tell
about the lignite coal deal of the past
winter. Mr. Avery replied in detail,
declaring he had saved the city thou-
sands of dollars on its coal bill.
The city commissioner was not the
only one called on to answer a ques-
tion, however. Judge Ireland Graves,
the main speaker for the manager
forces, was asked by a person in the
crowd: "Judge Graves, is it true you

NAPLES, Italy, Aug. 5.—Vil-
lager* of San Vito yesterday had a
pitched battle with a pack of
famished wolves on the threshold
of the village church where wild
animal* tried to enter.
For some time the animals have
been seen prowling about the Vesu-
vian observatory and yesterday
they rushed into the doorway of the
church which was filled with wor-
shippers.
When one of the villager* clubbed
to death one of the animals, the
rest, of the pack turned and fled.
A lonely, penniless woman in a
neighboring city attempted suicide last
• week by the gas route. She wanted
company in death. She called her
dog when her resolution reached the
suicidal point. But the dog that had
obeyed her every nod ran away. She
tried to lift him through the window,
but no avail. He would not come.
There is something uncanny about
the sixth sense of the dog. He senses
trouble while you sleep. And he senses
the unfriendly motive in his trusted
master.
Do you remember, back in your
childhood* when father directed the
hired man to take old Towser, grown
toothless and useless, over the hill and
kill him? Towser ran under the house
or into it, and came out only when
mother had interceded for him and
guaranteed him immunity.
Last Saturday, an itinerant Mexican
photographer, with’ a little quick-
prit camera on a tripod, was working
a country town for patronage among
the cotton pickers of bi* race.
A leathery-faced old woman with a
yearling Cbvat bacUd up against the
wall to have a likeness, made. The
brat backed away squa1g when the
cameraman began to “point’ hi» in-
strument. An American baby of
about the .erne age playing along the
sidewalk stopped in front of the
camera and pointed a stubby finger
at the "eye" But the Mexican baby:
would not go near it. He censed
danger and preserved himself in
flight. ...
The babe of the lower races will
play all day on a gallery and never
fall over the edge. The more highly
developed babe, left in the same po-
sition, will crawl to the edge and hit
the ground squalling in a few min-
utes. As mentality increases the in-
stinct of self preservation decreases.
That is one reason why the lower
classes can rear so many children.
The job is less difficult. The limn
number of highly developed children
would run a mother to death.
A symposium of opinion concerning
the late war and what the world
gained from it brings the almost unan-
imous opinion that the world lost all
round. That is the opinion of those
w panticiaaor who stayed at home,
commenting on the pessimistic views
of the participants, saye: The world
gained knowledge in that war, and
that's enough to offset the two hun-
dred and fifty billion dollars that the
war cost." . ... . ,
The knowledge gained will be of
advantage only in another war. To
ade that knowledge, will cost more
than it is worth. It is worse than
. a total loss. But if it cost nothing
to use it, the knowledge gamed would
not compensate for the lifer of one sol
alr who ws killed or the of
one child who was orphaned in that
war.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.—Dr. William
Healy of Boston, Mass., second
psychiatrist testifying for the defense
at the hearing to determine punish-
ment for Richard Loeb and Nathan F.
Leopold Jr., for kidnaping and mur-
dering Robert Franks, testified today
that the crime was "the direct result
of Loeb's diseased motivation" and
that the observation of the youths in
the courtroom had confirmed his
opinion from examinations that they
are mentally diseased.
Cross examination of Dr. Healy b6-
gan by Robert E. Crowe, state's at-
torney, seeking to bring out the basis
of a “childish compact” between Loeb
and Leopold and the hearing, upon
suggestion of the defense, became sil-
ent. the witness 'testifying in a low
voice only"for the court and the ste-
nographers.
By establishing, an alibi, the man
and woman, named by a 15-year-old
local girl as partcipants in her kid-
naping and subsequent mistreatment
of Sunday, cleared themselves of the
charges in the court of inquiry held
Monday afternoon and Monday night
by County Attorney John Hornsby.
The county attorney, convinced that
the girl was not telling the truth
when she said twelve men and a
woman kidnaped her. is now seeking
to establish the identity of three men,
who were seen Sunday afternoon in
company with the girl as she alighted
from a Ford roadster at the north end
of the Congress Avenue bridge. The
men drove away rapidly. Just a few
seconds after getting out of the car,
the girl fell to the pavement in a
faint. After she was carried to the
city hospital, she told physicians and
doctors the story of her alleged mis-
treatment.
Because of the youth of the girl--
she reached the age of fifteen this
past June—serious charges will be
filed against the three men, in the
event they are apprehended, County
Attorney Hornsby said. "I have little
hope that .we will discover who the
three young men were,"" said the coun-
ty attorney. “The man who saw the
girl alight from their roadster paid
but slight attention to the men, and
noted only they were young men be-
tween 20 and 25 years old. He paid
no-attention to the car in which they
were riding, for his attention was not
particularly attracted to the girl un-
til she fell to the pavement, after the,
car from which she had alighted had
been lost, in the traffic.
“I don’t think the girl had ever
seen any one of the men before either.”
went on the county attorney. "We
have tried , to find out whether she
knew the name of either one of the
men, but she mentions only the name
of the girl and the man who estab-
lished alibis.”
Possible motive of the girl in im-
plicating without cause a certain girl
and young mnn in her mistreatment
was developed at the court of in-
quiry. It was shown that the two
girls, who work at the same place, had
quarreled Friday night while attend-
in the band concedt at Wooldridge
Park, The young man named by the
15-year-old girl. Is the sweetheart of
the other girl. and naturally sided
with his sweetheart in the quarrel.
Officers advanced the theory that the
girl, following her misfortune of Sun-
day. sought to implicate her former
friends, in order to "get even."
The court of inquiry mentioned was
held Monday afternoon in order to in-
vestigate complaints of kidnaping and
mistreatment brought to local police
officers by the girl and her father.
The girl claimed, chat Sunday about
noon she was walking south bn Con-
gress Avenue year the Congress Ave-
nue bridge when a Ford car. loaded
with twelve men and a girl who
woked at the same, place she did,
stopped near her. The girl hailed her.
Rhe came up to the car, and against
her will was pulled into the car, a
handkerchief stuffed In' her mouth,
and she was carried several miles
down the Barton Springs road ' to
woods, where the alleged outrages oc-
curred. She told officers that follow-
ing the mistreatment she was brought
back to the city and dumped out on
the north side of the Congress Avenue
b^dge. where she fannted a few mo- $
ments later. The girl said that the
only one among the twelve men sho
recognized was the friend of the
girl's.
Toocal police officers were wholly in-
credulous when the girl told her story
to them Sunday afternoon, and were
not inclined to arrest the girl and
her man friend, named by the alleged
victim of the kidnaping. The father
of the 15-year-old girl believed the
story, however, ani called in the
county attorney. After hearing ths

WICHITA FALLS, Texas. Aug. 5.-
Mrs. Dudley Golding, wife of a Wich-
ita Falls goiter, was killed. Tex Bow-
den. Bud Miller and Dudley Golding
were seriously injured when their au-
tomobile overturned north of El Paso,
according to messages received by
relatives here this morning.
The, party was on its way to Den-
ver to . participate in a golf tourna-
ment.
The party left Wichita Falls for El
Paso on July 28. They expected to
make stops in El Paso and Cloudcroft,
N. M., and then proceed to Denver.
The report that the men in the party
were seriously injured lacks confirma-
tion.
A number of messages have been re-
ceived from Wichita Falls people in
Denver mentioning the death of Mrs©
Golding, but giving no details of the
; accident.
Efforts to verify the report from
Denver, Colorado Springs and El Paso
had failed up to noon.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., Aug. 6 —
All last night a number of deputy
sheriffs armed with rifles and shot-
guns remained on guard outside the
Palisade mine in.the hills back.of this
city, where three men suspected of
having participated in the robbery of
the Palisade postoffice Saturday night,
when $5000 in cash and stamps was
taken, have sought safety.
The mine entrance, high upon the
mountainside, was illuminated by spot-
lights and the surrounding area was
lighted by electric lights that had been
strung during the day.
One of the three attempted a dash
for liberty Sunday night, but a volley
of shots drove him back. Two ap-
peared at the mine entrance yesterday
afternoon, but another volley forced
them to retreat. They made no at-
tempt to escape last night.
A-plan to force chlorine gas into the
mine to force the men out was aban-
doned. because there are more than
five miles of tunnels in the property
and the use of gas was not feasible.
Mine Superintendent Floyd went
back into thymine 1400 feet and post-
ed n number’of notices signed by the
sheriff, calling upon the men to sur-
render? The notices read:
'Fugitives: This is to offer you an
opportunity to give yourseltes up and
come out without fear of harm. We
will see that you gt an even break
and a fair trial. We do not want to
use severe methods to force you out,
but unless you come out, we must do
so. Come to the main entrance and
shout. Jeff Watson, sheriff."
There is no water in the mine and
it is believed that the entrapped men
have little or no food.
If the men refuse to surrender,
guards plan to set fire to sulphur at
several points within the mine.
Before an audience of approximately
150 assembled at the Lower East
Avenue Park Monday night, C. W.
Moore and Commissioner C. N. Avery
opponents of the city, manager form of
municipal government, urged the falla-
cies of the city manager theory and
the danger that lies in the proposal to
separate the people from their govern-
mental affairs as set forth in the
“vague, formless charter amendments."
Robin Pate presided, as chairman of
the meeting. C. W. Moore, the first
speaker on the program, briefly re-
ferred to the personal ambitions of
one man as the direct cause of the
World War aic declared that the per-
sonal ambitions of a few individuals
in Austin to direct the political action
and thinking of the voters of the city
were urging the manager form of city
government as the most efficient
method of depriving the people of di-
rect participation in their city govern-
mnt. Mr. Moore said he had lived in
Austin all his life and has watched
the growth and development of the
city to the present time, and declared
that now was the time if ever for the
people of Austin to retain direct con-
trol and participation in their own af-
fairs without allowing meddling from
“selfishly interested cliques and
groups.’,’
The speaker said he was always
afraid of a bad precedent and de-
clared that once the city manager form
of government was fastened on Austin
