Washington, March 26.--Napoleon's
statement that every corporal carries
in his knapsack the baton of mar
shal has been partially exemplified
in Sergeant Major Weber, leader Of
The Spartaclst forces in the Ruhr
valley. estimated TO number 10000

During the war Weber, according
to reports, received here, was non
commissioned officer attached to Gen.
eral Ludendorff's staff at German
general headquarters. When not en-
guged in running errands, Weber,
the reports state, listened to the dis
cussing Of military strategy by tho
headquarters officers. On one occa'
sion Weber is said in these reports
to have overheard General Luden'

DOUBLE MURDER BATTLES.
NEW YORK DETE ECT|VES

New York. March. = Dd cctivcs
conducted q widespread search for q
third man" In the belief that his
capture would clear up the mystery
in the double murder Of DR.. Vincent
j. Campisi, a wealthy young Brook
lyn physician and an unidentified
patient whose bodies were found in
It disorderly lodging house room in
Brooklyn last night.
Or. Campisi was summoned to visit
the patient last night by n middle
aged man who accompanied him to
the scene OF the murder. An hour
later. Dr. Camplsi's body, terribly
slashcd was found on the floor Of the
patients" room and the latter was
dead In his bed with the imprint of
human fingers on his throat. The
third man" had disappeared.
An early police theory that DIR.
Campisi had been lured to the lodg-
ing house for the purpose OF robbery
and that he had slain one Of his as
sailants before he himself succemb'
ed appeared to be broken down by
the fact that large sum Of money
and other valuables were found in
the doctors pockets.
Another theory advanced was that
tho patient" had been assaulted ear
licr by the missing man and that
Or. Campisi was murdered by the
same man, after the doctor, sum
moned to give medical mid, had pro
nounced the patient dead and has
threatened to notify the police.

SMOKER MONDAY NJ CHIT
To FURTHER OUTLINE A
BETTER D R GA \ L AT ION

Monday evening next the citi'
zcns are asked by the campaign
committee OF the Chamber of
Commerce to attend a smoker in
Convention Hall. The invitations
to this event are being sent out
today. If anyone does not receive
one OF the cards, he is asked to
come just the same, for it is
possible that some have been
misdirected.
Though called a Smoker" this
gathering will be unlike others Of
its name in that the women OF
Ardmore are especially invited.
There will be smoking for the men.
of course, the committee says, but
Convention Hall Is large and the
ceiling is high enough so the wo.
men will not suffer any discomfort,
and the program Is being arrang-
ed as much for them as for the
men.
George NJ. Henley and Don A.
Cochran constitute the committee
in charge Of the details for this
smoker. They are planning TO
bring to Ardmore for Monday
evening one or more men OF wide
reputation in the civic.commerca
organization field. who in addl-
tion to the local speakers. will
have messages OF particular i'm.
portance for Ardmore people. Also
it is definitely announced that no
solicitation Of memberships in the
new Chamber OF Commerce will
be made at this meeting.
Following out the desire Of max.
ing next Sunday "Civic Sunday"
in the Ardmore churches, most Of
the ministers have planned to de.
liver sermons having particular
relation to the effort to awaken
the civic consciousness Of Ard
more and centralize it in the new
Chamber Of Commerce. The com.
mittee feels that in this manner
the matter will be brought to the
attention of practically all tho
people Of the city.

MEXICAN CANDIDATE
WARM Up FOR COMM c
PRESIDENTIAL RACES

Washington. March 26.--The rccep-
ton accorded Ambassador Ygnacio
Eonillas on his arrival recently in
Mexico City from the United Stptes
and his formal acceptance of the
nomination for the presidency on
the civilista ticket opens a new phase
in the political campaign now in full
swing in Mexico. The elections will
be held July A. Mr.. Bonillas Will
have the support of President Car
rama against General Alvaro Obre'
gen. another leading candidate.
The first effec: of Bonillas' en-
trance into the campaign apparently
has been to lessen the chances OF
General Pablo Gonzales, formerly
head OF the military establishment in
the federal district and at one time
Carranzas candidate for the presi'
dency. Mr.. Bonillas will meet the
desire Of a large element which
wishes to be relieved Of the domina-
ton Of the army. AS to his position
on foreign affairs, it is believed that
his long residence in this country,
where he received his education, and
his experience in the embassy have
made him familiar with American
views and given him an understand
ing with this country's attitude in
pan-A mcrican affairs.
General Obregon will have the sup
port Of revolutionary leaders, includ-
ing Francisco Villa, according to re-
ports.
PAIRING another revolution, which
many MeXicans openly predict as Il
result Of the elections, officials here
believe that whichever way the cleo
tions, an area of better understand
ing between this country and Mexico
viii result.

New York, March 26.-There is no
chance for n worlds championship
bout in 1920 between Jack Dempsey
and Georges Carpenter. according to
Tex Richard. one OF the foremost
bidders for the contest. The French
champion probably will not extend
his present visit to the United States,
Richard said today, and he must re-
turn to Paris for bout scheduled
in August.
This Is sufficient to prevent his
appearance against Dempsey this year
the promoter added. explaining that
for the International bout to be a fn-
ancial success it would have to ba
held in the open and as Carpenter
will be busy until July he would not
have enough time to train before the
arrival of cold weather.
