PREMIER MES
SHARP DEFENSE

Lloyd-George Tells Reform
Club He Insists on Free-
dom of Straits.
REPLIES TO CRITICS
Quick Action Averted An-
other War He De-
clares.
Manchester England Oct. 14.—" As
long as I've a sword in hand and God
gives me strength to use it I will*
Premier Lloyd-George declared here to-
day in a speech in defense of his Near
* Eastern policy.
The fiery Welshman stated that his
.policy which averted another war had
' the following for its objective :
1. Freedom of the Straits-of the Bos-
phorus and Dardanelles.
2. To prevent the war between the
Greeks and the Turks from spreading
' into Europe.
3. To prevent a repetition in Constan-
tinople and Thrace of the unutterable
horrors in Asia Minor.
"The war of 1914 started in the Bal-
kans" the premier told bis audience
at the National Reform Club “and we
bad to act quickly."
Massacres Were Avoided.
Pointing cut that the Turks since
1914. have slaughtered in cold blood
1.509.000 Armenians and 500.000
Greeks the prime minister stated that
he had been advised by Sir Charles
Herington British commander-in-ehief
in the Near East that if reinforce-
ments had not been rushed to the
scene “fifteen or twenty thousand
Armenian and fanatical Turks residing
in Constantinople were ready to act.”
The premier was in the best of form
and the populace of Manchester his
birthplace gave him a rousing recep-
tion when hr denounced his critics and
stated that his policy was the only one
which would have prevented bloody
warfare in the Near East.
“If there is to be a change no man
will welcome it more than 1.” he said
•peaking of a general election. “I've
had a very long spell.
Never Wanted Position.
“I never sought nor wished to retain
my position but I will serve my coun-
try in any capacity. I’ll watch and
•ee how we will forgive Germany her
reparations yet make France love us.
I’ll watch and see hnxf we will pay the
United States all we owe. yet forgive
every other country all they owe us.
It will be interesting to see the work
done by others. That is one joy I
have in stere."
The premier stated that h : s course
was clear to him and that he would
cupport any government which wiU not
inflict permanent injury on the
country.
"I cast myself on the people whose
cause I have never betrayed in 32
years of public life." he stated.

Bonham. Tex. Oct. 14.—George E.
B. Peddy candidate for the Inderiend-
ent Democrats for the United .States
Senate spoke at the court house here
this afternoon to a crowd estimated
at 500. He was introduced by H. G.
Evans a local attorney.
Mr. Peddy said be was a Jeffersonian
Democrat and all his people were Demo-
crats that be was nominated at Dallas
by Democrats and was running as an
Independent Democrat on the Re-
publican ticket. He criticised the
Democratic convention at San Antonio
and charged that it was manipulated
and conducted by the Ku Klux Klan.
He charged also that Earle B. May-
field belonged to the Ku Ktux Klan
and be could furnish affi lavits that
Mayfield has made speeches at the
Klan conclaves and challenged May-
field to meet him on the stump and
say whether he was a member. He
said the people have a right to know
whether he was selected as a nominee
of the Klan against K. L. Henrv and
Sterling P. Strong “and I challenge
ntm to answer that question.” he said.
He also declared that the people
whom Mayfield asked to honor him
have a right to know* whether he vio-
lated the laws of Texas and spent more
money in the primaries than allowed bv
the law. He also said “when the
propaganda of the Klan had tlie effect

then laun<L<*d my campaign upon the
broad principles that the people of

CORPUS CHRISTI
POLITICIAN KILLED
(Continued from page one.)
Robinson present sheriff and one of the
men in jail for the shooting.
Leads Fight on Sheriff.
Mr. Roberts after the primaries was
chairman of the committee having the
contest case in charge for the complain-
ant. The petition was first filed with
the county executive committee who
threw it out claiming no jurisdiction
because certain time limits had expired.
The case was then appealed to the
district court and the court held with
the executive committee. Counsel for
Johnston the complainant then argued
the ease before the Sail Antonio Court
of Civil Appeals and the Supreme Court
at Austin with the same results. Per-
sonal enmities are thought to have been
created ending in the killing today.
Roberts is a former resident of Cle-
burne Texas. He was known to be a
close friend of Governor Neff and was
several months ago tendered the office
of prison commissioner by the state
executive. No announcement of the
funeral arrangements have been made.
One incident coupled with the killing
of Roberts was the issuance of a
temporary restraining order here today
rn training Gilbert McGioin the county
clerk in putting the name of Lee
Pitted candidate for re-election as*
constable on the general election ticket.
A strong fight was ma le on I'etcet in
the primary election but after being
returned a majority no effort was
made to contest his election.
Expense Account Attacked.
The restraining order was issued on
the grounds that he failed to-file one
of his election expense accounts in
time. The case will be hcar^ before
Judge W. B. Hopkins of the district
court here Friday.
There were ten bullet holes in Mr.
Roberts body all made by the three
shots that entered his body. It is not
thought be was shot at more than this
number of times although a hole was
torn in the front seat of his automo-
bile upholstery. It is thought this
hole was made by one of the bullets
that passed through Mr. Roberts
body.
Oue version of the shooting says that
Mr. Roberts and Sheriff Robinson en-
gaged in an argument during which
Mr. Roberts walked hurriedly to his
automobile. He had teen known to
carry a Winchester in his car while
making trips into the country but no
gun of any description was in Mr. Rob-
erts car or on his person it is said.
Who fired the three shots that killed
him is not as yet ascertained as eye
witnesses have not been detained and
versions of the affair differ widely.
One bullet passed through Mr. Roberts
right hand and it is thought that he
threw bis band to his chest after being
hit by the first shot. One shot passed
through bis chest from the left side to
the right passing on through his right
arm breaking the bone.
RANGERS ORDERED TO CITY.
Perhaps Three of State Constabulary

Austin Tex. Oct. 14.—Ranger Cap-

in response to a telephone request to
Governor Neff for the assignment of
rangers to the Neuces County seat for
police duty as a result of the Rogers
killing Saturday afternoon.
Ranger Captain Aldrich was also in-
structed to go it was reported and
inquiry at his home brought the in-
formation that be had gone to the
depot to catch a train out nt Austin.
His destination could not be ascertained
however.
Captain Hamer took part in a raid
on an alleged gambling house here
Saturday afternoon aiding the local
police and it was at police headquar-
ters that the report of his departure
for Corpus Christi shortly after this
raid was obtained.

"1 can guarantee you one thing
though.” he said -that 1 will have
ten times more influence than Congress-
man Wurzbach has had—which is Joss
than nothing.”
He was given an ovation when he
concluded his speech.

Mrs. Wheeler Pettus was the first
speaker on the program devoting her
ta k to an attack on the Sterling Towner
bill and a plea for ihe restoration ot
Bt&tes rights. Every new bureau es-
tablished at M a-<hingt6n she declared
“is a blow at states' rights.”
Marshal Eskridge introduced by Mrs.
Solon Stewart president of the Demo-
cratic \oters League made a stirring
speech on party loyalty declaring that
“disloyalty is the one thing which can
bring ruin to any party.” He touched
briefly on the Sterling-Towner bill
pointing out as one ot its hidden uan-
lnay negro and white
children sitting side by side .u „nr

becomes a law.” The negro Grimke
at the famous Washington meeting be
pointed out demanded social equality
and this might become one of tbe possi-

Mr. Kercheville brought another laugh
in introducing W. W. McCrory the
speaker who preceded Senator Hertz-
berg by declaring that there is “o
much concrete in Congressman Wurz-
bach a promised highway to the coast
that it has become an abstract question.”
Mr McCrory who is a member of
tbe state highway com mission and sup-
ported Senator Hertzberg’s opponent
in the run-off primary paid high tribute
to the nominee for refusing to “dodge
the issues.” He waned his bearers to
beware of a man who made such ex-
travagant promises as Wurzbach has
regarding a 100-foot highway from Ban
Antonio to Corpus Christi telling them
that the congr^sman has nothing what-
ever to do with the spending of money
for highways.
“There is nothing like that highway
of Wurzbacn’s in the world" Mr. Mc-
Crory said. "Why twel. automobiles
could travel abreast nn it and then
there would be room for several motor-
cycles in between.”
He declared that “the smartest thing
Wurzbacb’s eampaiigi managers have
done so far is to keep him from debating

Request Was Granted.
At tbe time that the petition from
the Women’s Relief Corps was pi esent-
ed to the school board an effort was
madi- to have tbe consideration of th?
petition deferred until tbe matter ban
been investigated by a committee. At
tbe instance of Dr. Rhodes immediat.
action was taken. I'pon the motion nt
Herbert Peairs and the second by Mrs.
Byron Eastburu tbe petition was
granted.
During an interview afterward. Dr
Rhodes asserted that be thought that
the Women's Relief Corps was an or
ganiration of southern women and had
lie known that they did not represent
the sentiment of the city lie would not
have urged that immediate action be
taken. lie understood (hen. he said
the desire of members of the school
board to refer the matter to a commit-
tee to determine whether or not the
petition was an expression of the crya
tallizcd sentiment of tbe South. I’ei-
sonally he said he saw nothing in the
speech that was a reflection upon th.<
South but be did think that it was a
classic and by its brevity peculinrih
suite! for class room needs. However
he continued if the action of the schoo
board was not in conformance with the
sentiment Of the Booth then he would
favu a rescinding of its action.
The bone of contention is the xddres-
delhered by Presidout Lincoln Novem
ber 19 1863 on the occasion of the
dedication ot a monument to fallen
Union soldiers at Getysburg:
“Foursccre and Seven Years Ago.”
Tlie address is as follows :
“Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth ou this continent
a new nation conceived in liberty and
I dedicated to the proposition that ail
men are created equal. Now we arc en-
gaged in a great civil war testing
whether that nation or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated can long
endure. We are met on a great battle
field of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field as a
final resting-place for those who her-
gave their lives that that nation might
live. It is altogether fitting nnd nroper
that we should do this. But in a
larger sense we cannot dedicate —we
eanrot consecrate —we cannot hallow-
this ground. The brave men. living and
dead who struggled here have conse
crated it far above our poor power to
add or detract. The world will little
note nor long remember what we way
here but it can never forget what t|o<'
did here. It is for us tbe living -ather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here hav*
thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us—that fron.
these honored dead we take »ntrease<
devotion to that cause for which the*
gave tbe last full measure of devotion —
that we here high! yresolve that these
dead shall hot have died in vam—tba
this nation under God. shall have a
new birth of freedom—and that govern-
ment of the people by the people for
the people shall not perish from the
earth.” .

Chicago Episodes May Be
Work of Lunatic Say
Doctors.
Chicago Oet. 14.— Police and medical
authorities combined tonight to soAe
the mystery of Chicago's gland theft —
the first such caw recorded in modern
crime annals.
Fear that an epidemic of gland
piracy would follow the operation per-
formed on Joseph Wozniak husky war
veteran caused authorities to make
vigorous efforts to unscramble the
strange case.
Search for a companion of Wozniak
whom police believed may have suf-
fered a similar fate engaged the efforts
of a corps of detectives and police.
According to Wozniak a second
man Leo Pronchinski accompanied
him to the bar room where they were
entertained by four men who later
abducted him he says and chloroform-
ed him.
Lieut. John Coughlin led a squad

after a woman had called the police
station and said her husband had been
attacked in the same manner as
Wozniak.
Epidemic Is Expected.
Lieutenant Coughlin expressed the
belief I hat the strange gland theft woui.l
probably be followed by an epidemic of
such cases.
"We may be confronted with the
same situation tha.t faced the author-
ities in China 2000 years ago.” he
said.
“The Chinese at that time had learn-
ed to graft the thyroid gland in a ro*
juvenation operation and no healthy
young man was safe on the streets.”
The weird ease has created a sensa
tion among the medical fraternity here
who advanced various theories *n ex-
planation of the crime. Dr. A. S. Sam
polinski. who is attending Wozniak de-
clared the operation was the work of an
expert surgeon who was probgb'y re
tained by some wealthy and aged pat-
ient with a desire for rejuvenation. Un-
able to purchase a gland for tbe opera
tion. the doctor used the kidnaping
method to accomplish his ends.
Theory Is Sanctioned.
Dctors Miller and Crlle chief operat-
ing surgeons at the Nazareth hospital
also coincided in this theory.
Dr. Victor I^spinasse world re-
nowned gland surgeon who performed
an operation on Harold F. McCormick
prioi to his marriage to Ganna AValska.
described the operation as the work of
a lunatic. He said:
“There are many men who aave a
perversion for gland operations. They
are not doctors but they have s'udicrl
the process until they know more about
it than 98 per cent of the physicians.
“Some of these persons could have
performed (he operation as skillfully as
a physician.”
Wozniak tonight was resting easily
recovering at his home after leaving the
hospital.
