Berlin Woman Boxer,
Protege of Dempsey,
Knocks Out Mashel
BY GEORGE WHITE

BERLIN, May 9.-German's fe.
male Jack Dempsey was brought
into court today for having knocked
out a poor harmless member Of the
stronger SEX whose offense was
that he had tried to flirt with her.
The ungallant court fined the WON
anboXer several thousand marks.
The plaintiff testified that one night
when he was not quite sober he
walked down Friedrich strasse, Der
Inns Broadway, in quest of adVen-
ture when suddenly a buxom younS
woman took him by the scruft OF
the neck with her left hand and
landing an uppercut on his face
with her right, sent him down for
a count of 10.
Whine he came to he yelled FOR
help, he said, and a policeman took
both him and her to the station
The plaintiff alleged that he had
suffered conclusion of the brain as
the result of the wOman's assault
The defendant turned out to be
one of the women boxers whom
Dempsey encouraged on his visit
here a year ago. She told the court
that she was the champion woman
boxer of Czecho- Slovakia," and that
she had knocked out the plaintiff
only after he had made several at
tempts to flirt with her as she was
going home. The court, however
decided in favor of the Door male.

CALCIUM ARSEIVATE
AGAIN IS DECLARED
SUBJECT TO DUTY
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
RY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Con
gress is the only hope OF relief for
the farmers who want to secure cal
cium arsenate without a tariff tax
It is certain today that the fight
will be renewed when congress meets
again, as a result of the decision by
treasury department officials reat'
firming their previous decision to
class calcium arsenate as dutlable
under the tariff law with rate OF
% per cent ad valorem.
Senator William j. Harris intro
duced a bill in the last congress to
put the product used to fight the
boil weevil on the free list, but no
action was taken 'by the senate
finance committee. He will renew
his bill in the next session, it was
stated at his office here today.
The decision ending hope of relief
by the executive departments came
late Wednesday when Assistant Sec
retary Moss, of the treasury depart
ment, announced that his depart
ment would not change it's previous
classification of calcium arsenate as
dutiable because of being a "cheml'
cal compound" although not spe
officially mentioned in the tariff law.
l.. B. Jackson, director of the bu'
reau of markets, representing the
Georgia department of agriculture
Tty-o0 ctnt1 VILLA sec.
rotary to Sentaor Harris, conferred
for the greater part of two days
here with treasury department .ottl'
Gals.
Senator Walter f. George, Mr.
Jackson and Captain Williams ap-
peared several weeks ago before the
department of justice in support OF
their contention in seeking d ruling
by the attorney general that calcium
arsenate should be on the free list
as it was not mentioned in the law
and white arsenic, the main lnSred'
lent, was put on the free list as
resul tot a fight on the floor of the
senate. subsequently,, the depart
ment of justice. held that the treas
ury department would have to adj
nit the customs division was wrong
in classifying calcium arsenate as
dutiable before the attorney general
would render an opinion. The treas
ury officials refused late Wednes'
day to change their decision. 1t is
learned here that the Georgia de
partment of agriculture has been
considering the purchase of one mil
lion pounds of calcium arsenate in
Germany, but the tariff is one of the
obstacles in the way of the final
selling nrice 10 the farmers.

VOTES
FOR PRINCIPLE Of
HARDING PROPOSAL

Settlement of international contro-
versies by orderly judicial pro-
cedure," without reference to any
specific proposal for a world tribu-
nal, was Endorsed in a resolution
passed Friday by the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs in session
at the Baptist Tabernacle. The res
olution was passed unanimously. \
1t was made clear that the fedora
ton is seeking world peace without
any partisan motive, but backs 'all
practical measures and movements
tending to that end" Mrs. Percy V.
Pennybacker, of Austin, Tex, made
a stirring speech in favor Of the res
olution, and urged that no partisan
ship be shown.
Mrs. Thomas ca Winter, the presi-
dent, and other high officials of the
federation, decided Friday to place
a proposal that the general fedora
ton. become a foundation with an
endowment of $5,O00,O00 before the
executive board, which meets Satur'
day, for consideration and report to
the 1924 biennial in Los Angeles.
The federation has been incorpo-
rated by an act of congress, but it
would require another congressional
action to convert it into a founda-
ton. Leaders in the federation say
this legislation could be obtained
easily. The endowment fund would
be used to increase the efficiency of
the headquarters organization and to
better enable the organization to par
ticipate in and support national cam
paigns in line with its ideals and

THIRTEEN ARE DEAD
IN FIRE FOLLOWING
OIL BLAST IN TEXAS

CORSICANA. Texas, May 10.-C9y
the Associated Press. }--Thirteen

others that may be uncovered mo-

streaked across dawn today that
needed no sunrise to become a scene
Of destruction wrought late yester
day by the explosion of the giant
gusher Of the j. M. Hughes Develop

Three hundred feet of flame,
ablaze across the hor lion, with at

signalize the fire for fifty miles

Tuesday, flowing $4,000 barrels OF
pipe line oil, is q veritable funeral
pyre. Charred, twisted and man"
gled bodies remain while the well
burns, consuming the complete flow,
and two million feet of gas when it
first ignited.
When the blast came, sixteen, it
is known. of the fifty-odd men in
the two crews and a connecting
gang were sucked in the sheet Of
flame. Some escaped by running
through oil knee deep, a distance
from the we'll and falling flat to tn !
ground.
Ellis Hammel, drilling contractor;
E. w. Quinlan, scout, and James
Meeks, scout for the Humble Oh
company, with others, did heroic
rescue work. Quinlan, decorated by
the British government with the Vic

the Medaille Militaire, during the
war, inhaled so much smoke While
aiding in rescue work that he coulo

vented the loss of life from being

the work of the drilling crews gave
incoherent accounts of the flare-up
none being certain how the fire
started but all testified to the huge
volume of smoke which rose, filled
and hid the oil-soaked derrick.
Some of the workmen were hurled
flat on the ground; others seemed

merciless spread of the fire, al.
