FRENCH EXTREMISTS
DENOUNCE JUDGE IN
SACCO-VANZETTI CASE
Ambassador Herrick’s Resi-
dence in Paris
Guarded.
By the AMOelHted Press.
Paris Marvh 26.—Labor unionists
with extreme tendencies have resumed
their agitation in favor of Nicola Sac-
co and Bartholemeo Vanzetti convict-
ed of murder at South Braintree
Mass. and are or~miizing meetings
the advance posters of which bear the
caption:
“Liberty or death.”
These posters declare that "the in-
famous Judge Thayer (Judge Webster
Thayer of the Massachusetts Superior
Court) persists in postponing the re-
tail of Sacco and Vanzetti in spite of
the fact that one nftcr another the
prosecuting wit have retracted.’’
Repression of Die activities of the
workers and anarchists throughout the
world is generally denounced at these
meetings particular stress being placed
on the cases of Sacco and Vanzetti and
the senten* to hanging of 172 peasants
in India. The French action in the
Ruhr is also repudiated by the labor
extremists.
The police as a rule attach no more
significance to these meetings than to
the usual run of extremists’ gather-
ings. but a discreet guard i« still main-
tained over Ambassador Herrick’s resi-
dence and the American embassy.

MS US FUEL
FOR INDUSTRY
NOTASSURED
Believe City Postpones
Rate Hearing Until Sup-
ply Determined.
SINK MORE WELLS
Factories Have Not
Changed Equipment for
Gas Up to Present Time.
That no extensive development of
natural gas for industrial use can be
had in San Antonio until a more
adequate supply is assured and that
the city may defer its rate fight be-
fore the state railroad commission
until the present available supply can
be more nearly determined was in-
dicated Monday. This became known
when announcement was made that
the city had asked a further post-
ponement of the hearing which bad
been act for Tuesday until April 30.
It is possible that a further iiostpone-
ment will be asked when that date
arrives.
Although no reason has been given
by the city for tlic last postponement
of the hearing and some had charged
that politics might have been behind
it. it i< generally belieied thnt the
city does not want to take its fight
for lower rates to the railroad com-
mirsion until an adequate supply of
gas has been assured. It is also
known that city officials have been
advised that it will require several
months u«v of the field before this
can be ilcteymined. Until. a larger
supply than the one now availanle
can be assured it is pointed out and
the Ban Antonio Public Service com-
pany given a chance to develop the
use of gns for industrial purposes the
chances are that the efforts of the
city to obtain lower rates would be
handicapped.
Require Several .Months.
That the present supply of natural
gas is not adequate for any extensive
development for industrial purposes is
the consensus of opinion among these
who have made n study of the pro-
position. It is further confirmed by
the fact that no' large industrial
plants in San Antonio have switched
over from oil or coal to the use of
natural gas for fuel. Until the ade-
quacy of the supply is determined
which will require several mouths it
is pointed out that there probably
will be no change-overs of any con-
sequence.
Inquiry Monday disclosed the fact
that some trouble has been experienc-
ed in at least one of the gas wells
in the Three Rikers field and that
there is some donbt as to whether
or not the wells now in use will fur-
nish sufficient gas for San Antonio's
needs industrially.
“We have bad sufficient natural
gas for domestic purposes in San An-
tonio so far even on the coldest day"
IV. B. Tuttle head of the San An-
tonio Public Service company said
Monday.
Drilling Eight More.
Mr. Tuttle however declined to
make any further mmment as to the
amount of gas available or wheth’r a
shortage was in prospect. Ho pointed
out that his company is a distributer
only and that it purchases its gas frtm
the pipe line company.
M. M. Sweetman president of the
Southern Natural Gas company own-
ers of the pipe line which carries the
gns from the fields in McMullen coun-
ty. expressed the belief that there is
sufficient gns in Southwest Texas to
supply all domestic and industrial
needs of San Antonio. It is possible.
Mr. Sweetman admittej that the
wells already drilled will not be suf-
ficient for San Antonio's gas supply.
He pointed out. however. that gns
is being obtained from the McMullen
county field and from thr Gas Ridge
field near San Antonio. There arc
now Mr. Sweetman said about eight
wells being drilled. If the supply te-
conics exhausted at one place ho raid
pipes can be laid to another field
and the supply thus kept up to n-
quirements.
Cannot Forecast Well.
Mr. Sweetman said he also had
hoard that some trouble had been
experienced with one 'of the wells in
the McMullen county field but said
this might be expected in any gas
field. There arc five wells available
in that field he said and so far the
supply has been adequate.
Mr. Sweetman said however that
no man can forecast how Jong a gas
well will last. The Southwest Texas
field he said has not been in use long
enough to <. termine just how much
gas is available. Usually six or seven
months Is required In-fore |ho extent
of the supply can be determined he
explained.

From Business.
Washington. D. C. March 26.—A
recommendation that the Shipping
Board retire from business scrap all
inferior vessels nnd fell its remaining
tonnage to American citizens "without
any restriction" was the basis of a
program submitted today by a com-
mittee of the American Ship Owners'

mended that all vessels not sold after
a reasonable lapse of time should be
scrapped and went on record as be-
ing of the opinion that “an American

New York. March 26.—An expen-
sive dress ami a hat listed among the
articles stolen from the apartment of
Dorothy Keenan slain model were
found by detectives today at the home
of Mrs. Anna Keenan the dead girl's
mother.
Detectives who discovered the gar-
ments during an interview with Mrs.
Keenan said the Broadway butter-
fly's mother at first ''seemed sur-
prised" but quickly explained that
she had gathered together some of
Miss Keenan's effects when she went
to her apartment after Dorothy had
been slain nnd that the last costume
the model wore before she met death
had been among them.
In her agitation over Dorothy's
death police quoted Mrs. Keenan ns
saying she had forgotten to tell the
liolice she had these much sought gar-
ments.
Carried letter With Suit.
Inspector Coughlin. in charge of
ibe investigation was keenly interest-
ed in the find because of information
given him by ‘'Billie" Bradford. Miss
Keenan's maid that with the gray
costume just discovered the model
had carried a beaded bag containing
a letter written her from Palm Beach
by J. K. Mitchell wealthy ami social-
ly prominent Philadelphian who had
paid her attention.
Claiming to know Ilie identity of the
man who sought to engineer a black-
mail plot against John Kcarsley Mit-
chell. the police today through th p
by-ways of the underworld sought
for others believed to have been im-
plicated in the scheme.
They said action against the as yet
unnmned blackmail principal was be-
ing held in abeyance pending efforts
to obtain evidence to support their
theory that the blackmailer balked
in his original plan dosed the model
with chloroform that he might get
Mitchell’s letters from her to be used
despite her opposition.
*Mr. Marahall” Silent.
No statement was forthcoming
from Mitchell who is said to have
given the model gifts and money ag-
gregating more than $lOOOO and re-
ported to be the last known mini to
have seen the girl alive. Nor did his
confidential attorney. John H. Jack-
son who was the "Wilson" of the
ten-day mystery surrounding the iden-
tity of the two men. give out any-
thing for publication. Mitchell is
said to have returned to his Philadel-
phia home
Ella Bradford negro maid who
found her mistress! body twelve days
ago. is said to have supplied the au-
thorities with considerable informa-
tion concerning the blackmail plot for
"more than $100060.” which is be-
lieved to have brought death to Miss
Keenan on her refusal to league her-
self against her wealthy admirer.

law of J. Kcarsley Mitchell identi-
fied as the mysterious "Mr. Marshall”

ciated Press his confidence in Mr.

still believe in Mr. Mitchell who ha*
always been nl! thnt was right and
we are not inclined to believe news-
paper reports of his digression now."
He said be and Mrs. Mitchell will
leave today for Philadelphia.
Mrs. Mitchell declares as do the
members of her family her unbound-
ed faith in her husband.
Reiterating her lack of knowledge
of any relationship between her hus-
band and Miss Keenan Mrs. Mitchell
said:
“Why wo are the best of chums
my husband and I. and I know he
could not have bccif unfaithful to me.
What if he did dine with a woman or
two. in the company of friends is
there anything wrong in that?" she
queried.
“As for Mr. Mitchell giving nny
woman money or presents without my
knowledge. 1 simply do not believe
it.” she exclaimed.
“I do not mind these remits ex-
cept for our two children because I
know thnt all of our friends will un-
derstand. * sho said. and choking sobs
stopped further conversation.
The Mitchells have two children.
