GODDARD OPENS
FOR 5IST YEAR
Buildings Are Crowded with Students
and Overflow Is Being Taken Care
of in Downtown Houses.

The halls and rooms that for many
days and weeks have been silent because
of the absence of young people echoed
back the greetings Of youthful voices as
the 5lst school year at Goddard seminary
began this morning at S:45. The school
this year is oyerflowing with students
and the buildings, which ordinarily have
been capable OF meeting the demands,
were found to be filled to their capacity,
while many students we're compelled to
find rooms outside the school. Principal
o. X. Hollister found accommodate
for great many but at present he is
searching accommodations for IL young
men.
The official opening started with a
welcoming by Principal Hollister in the
chapel, where all students and teachers
assembled shortly after S:45. Imme-
diately after, the great record book for
the 5lst year was opened wide for the
registration of the student body.
To the upper classmen of the school
appeared four new faces among the l3
members of the faculty and these mem
bers were chosen by Principal Hollister
only after close examination of their
records, NThe parents are, therefore, as
sured that their children are under the
instruction of some of the most com
petent instructors. The new teachers
are Miss Antoinette White, Joseph Leah
ey. Fred w. Hall and another, whose
name will be announced later. Mr..
Leahey supervises athletics and Mr.. Hall
in science.
1t has been the custom heretofore to
teach only two-year course in CONNER
cial work; this term the scholar will be
given the opportunity to begin four
year course in that department Through
the courtesy of the directors of that in
stitution, nurses now in training at the
City hospital will study the dietitian
course which comes under domestic sci
ence role at the evening school without
any cost to the city or the nurses
Nothing definite could be secured to-
day on athletics, although it was stated
that football practice would start as
soon as possible. This school, like a
few others, starts the season with an
almost new team, for only one former
player is attending the school to-day

BODIES OF 20 VICTIMS

BRUTAL TREATMENT
OF AMERICAN WOMEN
BY MEXICANS RELATED
Miss Agnes Laut, Who Recently Re-
turned from Mexico, Testified Be-
fore Sub Committee of SEN
ate Foreign Relations
Committee

Washington, D. c., Sept. l6.-With a
number of persons subpoenaed and wait
ing to be heard, further angles Of the
Mexican situation were expected to be
laid to-day before the Senate foreign
relations sub-c committee investigating re-
lations between this country and Mexico.
The sub committee last night held its
first night session and heard its first
woman witness.
Miss Agnes Laut, who recently re-
turned from Mexico, in advising against
intervention in Mexico, laid before the
committee last night a solution OF the
Mexican problem, which she character
lied as the "benefcient pacifcation" of
Mexico. In corroboration of her asser
tion that widespread corruption had in
hicted on Mexico mine years of cruci-
fixion," and that ''ninety-fiye per cent
of the population is looking for help"
Miss Laut described several Of the bru-
talities of which she knew She told
the committee of two girls who had been
dubbed to death and of two American
women who were carried into the noun.

main by their captors, who shaved the
soles of their feet to the quick TO make
simpler the task of guarding them.
An American girl from Nebraska, she
said, now ia somewhere in the hills, the
captive of Mexicans who dragged her
from her home near the Gulf coast. When
the band appeared they roped her father
and mother and when she, l6 years old,
threw herself before the Mexicans, they
declared they would kill her parents. She

An English woman in the state of
Zaeateeas was more fortunate, accord.
ing to Miss Laut. In this case, Miss
Laut said, the woman shot the bandits
who held her two daughters.
Another story she related was that OF
woman whose skin was stripped from
her face, the Mexicans cutting from the
center of the forehead ciroularly about
the face then tearing the covering loose.
A Kansas farmer was the victim OF
Cedillo brothers in the state of San Luis
Potosi, according to her testimony His
wife and daughter had gone to Tampi-
co, While they were gone the Mexicans
raided the place, hanged him TO tree,
alternately raising and lowering him and
jabbing him with bayonets. The man
became insane and afterwards died.
Another example of the treatment OF
women which she cited was the taking
into the hills of more than 30 women
and girls from train the Mexicans had
captured.
No attempt was made BY the witness
to shield the Carranza soldiery. She ad-
mitted that fair part of the crimes
were committed by bandits, but init.
mated that a number OF the so-called
bandits were in reality Mexican federal
troops

THREE-BILLI0N DEFICIT
FACES UNITED STATES

Washington, ID. c., Sept. is. A
deficit of more than $4,000. 900 900
by July !, 1920, is facing the treas
ury even if Congress should not
appropriate another penny" be-
fore that date, Chairman Good of
the appropriations committee, TO-
day informed the House, warning
it that greater economy than
ever exhibited before must be
practiced by government depart
ments.
Already the government is com
mitted TO expenditures for the
year ending next June 30 of $l0,-
S3l ,20l ,5S5, while the total rev.
enues are estimated at $3.50, ,92S,-
240.
"The price of living may be re-
duced somewhat by a vigorous en-
forcement of laws" said Mr.. Good,
but no real benefit will be felt
until the cost of production is re-
reduced, and it may be necessary
to reduce very materially our cir
culating medium. If the nation is
to receive relief from present un-
rest and from high prices Of the
necessaries of life, our people
must practice the strictest econ
omy. The government, through
its regulative departments, should
lead in this crusade"

Boston, Sept. l6.-Officers of the fire
department viii not join in sympathet-
ic strike to aid the policemen. This was
announced to-day after meeting of the
directors of the officers club which rep
resents Is per cent OF the fire fighting
force Of the city. The vote was unani-
nous. AT the same time Fire Commits
sioner Mahan announced that he had
treason TO believe" that the firemen as
whole would remain loyal to the city.
The policemen's union and the trade
unions which have already endorsed the
strike appeared to-day to be marking
time until the full strength of the sym
pathetic vote, which is being taken
among various affiliated locals, could be
determined
The announcement that Mayor Peters
and Commissioner Curtis had agreed on
minimum addition OF $500 to the pay
Of the police, il was believed would re-
suit in marked increase in the number
of applicants for positions. This in
crease would bring the minimum pay Of
policemen to 81 400
While nearly 100 unions were said to
have voted on the question of sympa-
thetic action, with several large locals,
including the telephone operators un.
ion, expected to ballot to-day, the agi-
tation for a general strike appeared to
be considerably lessened. Final action on
the proposal is not looked for before the
regular meeting of the Central Labor
union next Sunday
That the military authorities have
planned for an indefinite stay OF the
state guard troops. who are patrolling
the city, was indicated by the arrange
ments made for their comfort and the re-
ceipt OF a large quantity Of clothing
and supplies to-day. Every guardsman
was given new shoes, socks, shirts and
underwear.

parts Of the state, Corpus Christi to-
days slowly emerging from the wreckage
caused by the gulf hurricane, which
struck the city early Sunday, bringing
death to an unknown number Of per-
sons and doing property damage Of mil
lions.
1t was impossible this morning to get
anything like correct estimate of the
fatalities. In the city proper the death
list was placed by some officials at be
tween Is and 25 but that was regarded
bv many as far too conservative. In
some quarters, 1t was said, the number
of injured would exceed 200.
One report in circulation to-day, but
as vet uneonfrmed, was that 1870 bodies
most of them recognized as residents OF
Corpus Christi, had been taken from a
reef near Portland on Neuces bay, upon
which Corpus Christi is situated.
More than 5000 persons were made
homeless However, with the coming OF
relief trains, it was expected that by
night most of these would be taken
care Of
Considerable anxiety was expressed re-
garding the fate of the launch Waldo,
with Is persons on board, which left
Corpus Christi Saturday afternoon on a
fishing excursion. Since the storm no
word has been received from the party
which includes four women.
Fears are entertained that heavy
casualty list viii be reported from sur
rounding towns, several of which were
directly in the path Of the storm.
The storm sent tidal wave ten feet
high over the business and north beach
districts Of the city.
AT the height of the tidal wave prap.
ticaIly the entire business section was
partly submerged The water was about
four feet deep in the lobby Of the Neuces

Military rule was invoked yesterday
and no one was allowed to enter the
