[ HELD BY POLICE FOLLOWING DEATH
 IF TULSA JUR|ST
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

TULSA, Okla, May 12.-Details of events leading up to the death last night of Judge John Devereux, for mer Oklahoma supreme court com missioner, remained unknown tonight after a cay during which the most sensational development was the ar rest of A. P. Dixon, an oil man, and the filing of murder charges against Mrs. Jesse James, nurse of the dead man, and Goldie Gordon, an artists model and companion.
 Dixon. superintendent of a large oil refinery, was arrested when it was learned he occupied a room next to Mrs. James and Miss Gordon. Po- lice declare further investigation proved Devereux was found wounded and under the influence of poison Monday in Dixon's room at the hotel. and not in his own, with Mrs. James, as they had first believed.
 The two women pleaded mot guilty and were committed to jail without bond, pending a hearing Monday. The result of an autopsy performed at the order of the county attorney and made public today pre- cipitated the filing of charges against the women. The autopsy found that death was probably due to a blood clot on the brain, caused by a heavy blow. and to excessive use of drugs

Holland Anxious
 For U. s. Capital
 to Exploit Fields
TRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Nether- lands legislation does not draw any distinction between Dutch and for eign capital in the exploitation of oil fields. and that government desires to see American capital take part in such exploitation, says Hollands re- ply to the recent American note con- corning concessions in the Djambi oil fields in the Dutch East Indies.
 A summary of the reply was made public in statement by the state department tonight. which, in addi- tion to outlining the points made by negotiations which had led to the formal exchange of notes- A further communication is expected to be dis patched soon by Secretary Hughes.
 Concerning the passage in the sec ond chyIreer of the Netherlands par liament of an oil bill granting con- cesSion to the Batavia company in the Djambi fields to the exclusion of Americans, the reply says that when last January Mir Phillips, American minister at The Hague, requested that American companies be permitted to participate in the Djambi concession, the law had been drafted and the question. pending approval of parliament. had been set. tied. As for American capital par ticipating in the Batavia company. it says such a question must be subject to the approval of Holland.
 The reply adds, however, that there are rich oil fields in both Sumatra and Borneo, and the minister of colo nies would be glad to make contracts with other companies for their ex- ploitation.

IRepubIlcan A. P. Leased wirel

CHICAGO, May Exchanges of in efficiency. negligence and drunken ness were made today by a witness at an investigation of recent deaths in the air mail service being conducted by Charles H. Clarahan, postal in spector
 The charges were made by c. c. EyersoIe. former mail pilot, who was discharged after he had made para chute leap from his plane near Min neapolis last February in what he said was an effort to escape a crash.
 Eversole declared that the real req son for his discharge was that he had told postal inspectors of the neglect and inefficiency at various fields.
 The eight German junker planes that cost the government S235, 900 also cost the lives of seven pilots, Eversole testified. Five were hopelessly wrecked and the others withdrawn because pilots refused to fly in them, he said. Twenty-Five De Haviland planes, known to the public as ash cans, were withdrawn for the same reason.
 According to the witness, attaches os the flying field would lay odds of four to one to ten to one that the De Havilands would never reach their destination. He also testified that several of the officials of the local field often appeared on the field while intoxicated.

 In suggesting that the problems of reconstruction were more serious than those of war, he admonished his audience that its up to you to put our republic in the straightforward track of peace and constructiveness again"
 When he are right, we will be helping the whole word to get on the rsxht track again." he said

 Vote on passage, however, had been ordered by the house and it will be the first order of business tomorrow.
 Representative Tincher Republican of Kansas. author of the measure. said he was confident it would be passed despite evidence of opposition which crept out during consideration of the proposal today. Opponents contended it would authorize un warranted governmental interference in business and declared many of the provisions were too drastic. Propo- nents held that the measure would check manipulation of grain prices and would prove beneficial to farm CTS.
 Amendments offered today were either voted down or ruled out on points of order Several making minor changes, however, were ap- proved
 Favorable action was advocated by Representative Mondell, who declared that it meets the expectations of those who desire to stop gambling in the grain markets and does not un- duly curtail those operations which are essential to the welfare of form ers''

Whiz Bang Was The Exception;
 He Paid No Fine

It has been the custom for sev- eral months among the prisoners in the county jail to bring each new prisoner before the kangaroo court for trial on some freak charge. The prisoner is always found guilty by the court and as- sessed a fine. The fines are used to buy eatables. No prisoner es- capes a trial in the kangaroo court but yesterday afternoon prison CT was placed in Jail who proved an exception to the rule.
 He was booked in the jailer's office under the name of Whiz Bang, and the kangaroo court, aft CT one look at him, adjourned the court and dismissed the charge Whiz Bang spoke a language that none of the other prisoners could speak or understand. and they were forced to let him into jail without a trial.
 Whiz Bang was arrested and placed in jail by Sterling Price on a charge of fighting and disturb ing the peace. The fighting charge was not surprising, for Whiz Bang was born to fight and his method of disturbing the peace was learned from four oth- CT members of his race after he came to Phoenix He was charged with disturbing the peace and quiet of the citizens in the night time and the early morning hours.
 Last night Whiz Bang furnished a bail of $25 and was removed from the county Jail by Price and later appeared in six round bout at the Elks lodge rooms with an unknown fighter. Whiz Bang is a pit game cock owned by Price, who placed him in the outer cor ridor of the Jail for safekeeping until he took him to the Elks' rooms.
