Harve Wright, commissioner In
whose precinct the road will lie,
contended that two advantages
would be gained by the change.
"Traffic already is heavy on
Camp Bowie and this road would
make it heavier," he said. “It
also will give 'direct connection
between the southwest part of
the county and the southwest
part of Fort Worth and will save
a grade crossing north of Ben-
brook."
Wright added that the change
would cost little more, if any,
than the $151,000 allowed for
the highway, and that the pres-
ent graveled road between Ben-
brook and the Kuteman Cutoff
would remain for the use of per-

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.—A police-
man was-killed and six men, one
a notorious gangster, were wound-
ed. In New Year's Day battles be-
tween officers and holdup men in

tailed to guard a west side taxicab

he started with five bandits who
attempted to hold up the office.
It was believed he wounded at
least one of the gunmen before he
fell himself, a bullet thru his
head. - -
Another policeman was shot
thru the stomach, two cabaret pa-
trons were wounded, Sam Battag-
lia and another bandit were shot

most notorious gangsters in the
city, led two others in an attempt
to hold up a New Year’s party on
North Clark Street.
Two Officers Wounded
Battaglia and his pals ate a
midnight lunch at the C. & O:
cabaret and at 4 a. m., when the
New Year’s Eve celebration was
at its height, attempted the hold-
up. A squad of police from the
East Chicago Avenue station hap-
pened in a few minutes later and
the battle began.

Hindus and Moslems Refuse Com-
promise Plans
By United Press.
LONDON, Jan. 1.—The Indian
Round Table conference reached
a crisis today when the Hindus
and Moslems refused a British
suggestion for a compromise on
the question of minority rights
in the proposed basis for a new
constitution for India.
' Prime Minister MacDonald con-
sidered the' situation so serious
he called a special meeting of
the minorities nub-committee for
10 p. m. to sit until tomorrow
morning if necessary to break the
deadlock.
To complicate the crisis fur-
ther, the "untouchables" (the
lowest caste in India) demanded
that the future constitution abol-
ish restrictions on their caste.
They also demanded separation
of the lower classes from the
Hindus, charging the Hindus
merely used the untouchables as
1 political tools.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.,
Jan. 1—Red and green flarea
and a white star rocket com-
memorating the memory of Roald
Amundsen, famous Arctic explor-
er, marked the opening of the
New Year on the summit of
Pike’s Peak.
The brilliant fireworks display
was touched off shortly before
midnight, just as the old year
died. Many of the rockets, fired
from a base 15,000 feet above
sea level, rose another 1000 feet
before they sank to earth in a
blaze of multi-colored light.
The exhibition also marked the
18th anniversary and Initiation

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—Hugh
Campbell Wallace, former ambas-

been ill since last October. He

ler, daughter of the late Chief

which post he served a year and

Threats of Mob Violence
Heard in Oklahoma
By United Press.
BLACKWELL, Okla , Jan. 1.—
Threats of mob violence against
the suspect in the murders of
Jessie and Zexia Griffith were
heard thruout Northern Oklahoma
today as search for Earl Quinn, a
former Missouri convict, continued
in middle western cities.
Officers were prepared to rush
the suspect to McAlester peniten-
tiary if he is apprehended.
Feeling was strong in Kay
County. Groups of men gathered
at Newkirk, the county seat, and
discussed the slaying. County At-
torney Bruce Potter, who said he
had evidence against Quinn, be-
lieved it would be unsafe to re-
turn him to any town in this
county. -
The two school teachers were
slain while returning to Norman,
Okla., after spending Christmas
with their parents here. They
were popular in their home town
and at Norman, where Jessie was
public school music supervisor,
and at Warner, where Zexia was
economics instructor in the Con-
nor Agricultural School.
Five days after the slayings,
Quinn had succeeded in prevent-
ing officers thruont the middle-
west of even gaining sight of him.
It was believed he was hichg in
Kansas City, his home.
sold from around $6 down. A few
fat cows sold up to $5, this price
paid fora good grade, and butcher
cows found an outlet mostly In
the $3 range. Low-cutters were
reported from $2 to $2.50, strong
weights around $2.40 to $2.50.
Values Remain Steady
• Very little business was trans-
acted in stock cattle and calves,
but occasional sales on country ac-
count denoted steady values. Some
stock steers moved out in the $5
to $6 spread and good to choice
“stock steer calves were listed up
to $8.50 or above.-
Steady prices were also main-
tained in the market for slaughter
calves, very good heavy fat calves
selling up to $7.40, with weighty
averages of the plainer -grades
ranging downward from around
$6.25. Cull sorts were peddled
into Fort Worth over
Bowie Boulevard.:
Retiring “Commissioner -.-
Boaz opposed the change, as 444
County Judge S. D. Shannon, also
retiring. They declared that the
voters in the county bond issue
election approved the other rout-
Each day The Press asks
several persons what they
think about current news
topics. Todays' question and
’answers follow:
What do you think is in pros-
"pect for Texas industry and
business in 19317:
Tom D. Taylor, 1609 Ashland:
"Speaking from the life insur-
ance business viewpoint, I look
for 1931 to be one of our best-
years. It will see the rebuilding
of estates, both large and smalt
When all other values dropped,
persons in all walks of life
turned to their .life insurance
policies for ready cash. There
they found the values promised
years ago when the policy was
issued, without fluctuation. Con-
sequently, the people are getting
away from speculation and are
investing in something more
stable.#’
M. H. Kennady, 2332 Irwin:
"Texas progress can not be. re-
tarded- long with any temporary
setback. Business is going to
loosen up and the economic sit-
uation- will return to normalcy.
Fort Worth especially is sure to
overcome the current condition
with all the big projects under
way, or scheduled to start.”
Dr. Sidney L. Wilson, 1424
South Adams: "Conditions are
certain to adjust themselves back
to normalcy in 1931. The coun-
try has been thru economic con-
ditions similar to this before and
readjusted itself. 1----
B. S. Matson, 3000 Park Hill
Drive: “I don't see how the
country can straighten out the
present economic condition this
year. Unless the farmers are
making money, nobody else does,
and they haven't made any dur-
ing the past year.”
Claude Van Zandt, 700 West
View: "It’s difficult to figure
out what the outcome of the
present condition will be.”

OMAHA, Jan. 1.—A New Year’s
Eve party broke up at 2 o’clock
this morning when a rum crazed,
jealous lover entered the apart-
ment of Albert Suratt, shot and
killed Joseph Gifford and prob-
ably fatally wounded Suratt.
The woman in the case jumped
thru a window and ran when she
heard the murderer approaching.
Police several hours later pick-
ed up Glenn McFadden and are
holding him as the gunman:
Mrs. Suratt was,shot thru the
left arm as she grappled with the
gunman in an effort to keep him
from shooting her husband. At
Lord Lister Hospital it was said
Suratt cannot recover.
Company, said Thursday.
Plans for the building were
completed by Charles F. Allen,
architect, Wednesday,
Karl Hoblitzelle, Dallas, presi-
dent of the RKO Southern, said
Thursday he had heard nothing of
the plan. RKO’s lease on the
present Majestic Theater has five
years to run..
Griffin said, plans for the build-
ing will be submitted to RKO of-
ficials at an early date.
The building would be eight
stories high. It would include a
theater seating 3300 persons, or
double the capacity of the Ma-
jestic. The cost has been esti-
mated at $300,000.
Hoblitzelle said RKO has tem-
porarily shelved plans for build-
ing a new theater here. The
company opened negotiations for
a site a year ago.
