PUSHING CHARGE OF MUTiNY
AGAINST NEGRO SOLDIERS

San Antonio. Texas, Nov. But
four Of the IA victims Of the Houston
race riot Of Aug. 70 has been account
ed for in testimony offered up to to-
day in the courtmartial of SO negro
soldiers charged with mutiny and MUIR
der.
The wounding of all those mentioned
as victims also has been accounted for.
This does not mean. however, that the
blame has been placed on any one of
the rioters. Evidence grew today that
the prosecution Is laying more stress
on the mutiny charge than on the
murder charge.
Infantrymen guarding the defenders
are continually on the watch. due to a
complaint that civilians have been
jeering the prisoners.

BY BRIGHT METEOR

HALEY. Nov. 9.-Tuesday evening

meteor illuminated the sky in this sec
ton. 1t appeared in the sky above the
mountains east Of the Hunter ranch
and travelled due west, disappearing
behind Carbonate mountain. 1t ap-
peared like a large bali of greenish fire
and was so bright that for a moment
or two one could have seen a small
nail on the ground. The meteor left
long trail of light behind it. A few
seconds after its disappearance be-
hind the mountains to the west a rum
bling sound like thunder in the dis
lance could be heard.

ments, the American Red Cross said

900 to the credit of the Red Cross for
the purchase of these foodstuffs.

mitted to receive extra rations and
clothing from their home governments.
Lack Of supplies in Europe has forced

through the Serbian section of the
Bureau de Secours at Berne, Switzer-
land, to prison camps in Austria
The American Red Cross now has
