(By Associated PressI

Mayence, Germany, Sept. 23.-
More than 500 bodies have been re-
covered from the vast ruins of the
Badische plant at Oppau and it is
considered certain that 800 peresons
still are missing. Two thousand
wounded, 400 of them seriously, are
scattered in temporary hospitals for
miles around the scene of Wednes-
days explosion.
There is a military Gordon around
Oppau keeping out the curious and
restraining relatives from carrying
out their desire to search the wreck
age for their missing.
The $50 acre plant site and vast
area around it presents a picture not
unlike that of the shell torn battle
field. Earth is thick with pulverized
concrete and bits of metal from hun
dreds of shattered machines. Some
bodies have been removed at a depth
of twenty feet.

POPE TRIAL DRAGS BUT
INTEREST IS HIGH, A
TENTATIVE JURY PICKED
Another Panel of Tales
men Will be Called
to Finish Venire
IBy AHsOcinted Preanl

Jacksonville, Sept. 23.-Althougt
tentative jury was several times
completed today in the trial of Johr
H. Pope, local attorney charged with
murder, only eleven men remained
at the end of the day and these were
still subject to challenge.
In the opinion of opposing counsel
another panel of talesmen will have
to be called before a jury is finally
empannelled. Twenty-eight men out
of 73 remained to be examined. The
state exhausted three of its ten per-
emptory challenges today while one
tentative juror was excused for ill,
ness.
One of the men thrown out peremp-
torily by the state today had lived
at the same place as Pope although
he did not know the defendant. One
man was thrown out for cause when
he could not clearly define his atti.
tude towards capital punishment. The
defense confined most of its ques-
tioning to the relations of prospec-
tive jurors to witnesses expected to
be introduced by the state. One man
was disqualified because of his un-
certainty as to whether his father
had been a naturalized citizen Of
this country. He said that his father
had voted but he could not say whe-
ther he had ever been naturalized.
The man was a native of Scotland.
In spite of the tedious legal pro-
cess of the trial so far, it apparently
has not waned in public interest. If
anything the crowd was larger today
than heretofore, probably because of
the belief that a jury would be Sc
lected.

RULES COMMISSIONERS
CANNOT RENAME STREETS

Miami, Sept. 23.-Judge Branning
today ruled that the city commits
sioners were acting without authority
when they renamed Miami Avenue,
Tuttle Avenue, a month ago. For
twenty-five years this street was
known as Avenue D. Last year when
the city voted to change the names
of the streets it became Miami Ave
nue.. Then the new city commission
renamed it in honor of Mrs. Julia
Tuttle, a pioneer of this section. This
action aroused a storm of protest
from local merchants and the mat
ter was taken to court.
The decision was in the form of a
restraining order to prohibit the COM
changing the name.

Band Concert On
Sunday At 4:30

The Palatka band will render their
usual concert Sunday afternoon at
4:30 o'clock in the court house
square. An especially attractive
program has been arranged and a
good attendance is expected. The
band is making wonderful progress
and Director Shearouse and the band
are working hard to give Palatka
band that will not only be a pleasure
to the people at home but the sur
rounding community as well.
At present the band is playing at
quite a disadvantage on account of
not having proper bandstand in
which to give their concerts and also
the many children who play on and
around the bandstand while the mu-
Sicians are doing their best to please
the public, makes it all but impossi-
Bile to play. 1t is sincerely hoped
and will be appreciated by the band
as well as those who come out to
hear the concerts if the good par
erts will aid in keeping the children
quiet while the band is playing.
As the days are getting shorter
the concerts will commence promptly
at 4:30 every Sunday afternoon un-
til further notice is given. In case
of rain the concert will be given in
the Howell theater. A program of
Sunday concerts will appear in Sun
days issue of The News.

Reservation Similar To

PRESIDENT APPROVES

CBy Associated Press)

Washington, Sept. 23.-The trea-
ties of peace negotiated by the ad-
ministration with Germany, Austria
and Hungary were approved today
by the senate foreign relations COM
mittee, but with two reservations.
One reservation-similar to the
Lodge reservation to the treaty of
Versailles-would require an act of
congress prior to representation on
participation in any foreign agencies
or commissions by an American rep
resentative whose nomination would
have to be confirmed by the senate.
The other is designed to protect the
property rights of American citizens
as we'll as of the American govern
ment in the three former enemy
countries.
Adoption of the two reservations
brought from the White House the
statement that while President Hard
ing had not seen their text he fav-
ored the principals involved and no
objection would be raised by the ad-
ministration to ratification with the
proposed reservation attached

were presented late today by Senator

High School Foot
Ball Team at Work

The foot ball team of the Putnam
High School is hard at work and for
the first time in it's history Palatka
and Putnam county will have a real
High school foot ball team. The boys
are out every afternoon and there are
about twenty on the squad. Several
games have been scheduled and the
first game will probably be played
on the local gridiron against the fast
eleven from 0cala.
Mr.. Cassels is very much pleased
and especially invites the people to
come out Monday afternoon to wit
ness the practice. A great deal of in
terest is being shown by those who
have played college football and at
present the team is being coached by
several old college stars. and from
the present rate of speed the team
is showing there is no doubt that
Putnam High will soon be in a class
with the best in the state.
Coach Shearouse is in charge of
the squad and if hard work will make
team Putnam High will certainly
have one. There is a lack of school
spirit owing to the fact that the
school has never before been actually
engaged in athletics. 1t takes school
spirit to win games as well as trained
athletes.

Semnache Repeats Story
He Told Jury In
Los Angeles
FATTY BR|GHTENS UP
Drinks Were Orange
Juice" Which Might
Have Been Gin
(By Associated Press)

San Francisco, Sept. 23.-The pre-
liminary hearing of Roscoe (Fatty)
Arbuckle, charged with the murder
of Miss Virginia Rappe, was resumed
in police court today. Alfred Sem.
nache went into the already known
details of the party in Arbuckle's
rooms following which Miss Rappe's
death occurred. Arbuckle appeared
more cheerful than heretofore, en-
tereing the court room with his wife
and mother-in-law. Semnache re-
peated what he had told the grand
jury in Los Angeles, naming Fred
Fischbach, Lowell Sherman and others
as being present at the party. Ar
buckle and Sherman were dressed in
pajamas and bath robes and Slip
pers, Semnache said. The rest were
in street clothes. All of the party ex.
cept Mrs. belmont, he said, were
eating, while some were drinking
liquor, which he defined as orange
juice chat could have contained gin
or anything else" Semnache testi-
fled that he left the room and on re-
turning half an hour later found that
Miss Clarke and a Miss Campbell
Had j6ined The party. He could not
remember, he said, anyone having
left the suite. During this testi-
mony Arbuckle's 'eyese moved slowly
from the witnes to the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, who conducted the
questioning, and back again.
Other Witnesses
Mrs. Grandma Maud belmont, who
swore to the murder complaint
against Arbuckle, and Miss Zey Pre-
ston, show girl, also were sum-
moned as witnesses today.
Miss Prevon was to be questioned
about the gin jollifcation that pre-
ceded the alleged assault on Miss
Rappe.
Mrs. belmont will cover the same
ground.
Chief counsel Frank Dominguez
and the other defense attorneys to-
day were planning to secure Ar
buckles release through medical
testimony. They set up the theory
that Miss Rappe merely collapsed
from alcoholic excesses while in
Arbuckle"s room and that the in
testinal rupture which caused her
death developed later.
Mrs. Roscoe Arbuckle, who came
here from New York to join her
husband when he was accused, said
she would be at his side in the
courtroom today. He seemed greatly
encouraged by her presence yeseter-
lay. The court room yesterday was
ahmed with women.
