bury the poor little girl. Oh, why
did | do ity"
Clarke Cofield, who claims 10 De
16 years old, and who was transfer
red to the Bexar county Jail for safe
keeping Thursday night, following the
finding of the mutilated body of little
Irene Hetzfelder near Spring Branch.
Comal county, Thursday afternoon. re-
peated these words over and over as
he paced his cell in the Jail Friday
morning. His hands were clasped
nervously behind him and his head
was bowed in grief. When he APP
preached the cell door close enough
to talk, his chin ,quivered perceptibly
and he talked only hesitatingIy as ii
aware of the awfulness of the crime.
Cofield, who said he is the son of
MIR. and Mrs. James Cofield, who live
on farm near Spring Branch. would
not deny having committed the crime.
although he denied emphatically that
he had committed an assault upon the.
girl.
do the papers say that I assaulted
that little girl?" Cofield asked.
Yes. was the reply.
,"Well i didn't. / swear ] didn't.
L never touched her. ! don't know
why l did what did do"
1t was only with difficulty that
Cofield was induced to talk. He
would mutter few words at the eel
door and then begin his pacing M
and down his cell, coming back at in
tervals TO answer question.
"Oh. how my head aches. Il am
awful SICK" he exclaimed mt one time.
but declined any offer of help.
Cofield explained that he had
known the girl very well and said
that he had attended the same school
with her. He had nothing against her
he said, nor was he angry Mt her at
the time she was killed. The crime.
occurred. he said. about s o'clock in
the morning. when she was on her
way to school.
Further than this. however. he
would not discuss the details. saving
that any statement must come FROM
his lawyer. Cofield asked that
friend of his. Dennis f. Trident. be no
titled that he was in Jail. saying that
his father already had been notifi"l.

in Auditorium to Be Built

moderate auditorium with the $4JO,OOO
that is in the city's hands for that
purpose. / can assure the people OF
Son Antonio and members of the Art
League that place will be provided
for the pictures" Mayor Tobin said.
Mayor Is Enraptured.
He went on to say: 81 never was
SO surprised in my life as l was when
I came into the Art LEAGUE rooms
this morning and saw this magnificent
collection of pictures. Why it isn't
TO get a splendid art gallery for the
city but to keep one that is already
here, that room must be provided. OF
course, | am only one man in the
city council, but | am convinced. that
when | bring the other members of
the administration over to see these
wonderful pictures that they will be
of the same mind that l am. Seeing
is believing. Of course. i had heard
some of the ladies talking n good deal
about some pictures they had here in
town. but never thought much about
them until j came over and saw them
for myself. San Antonio is lucky to
have the chance to see such collec-
ton"
Before the mayor arrived, Mr.. Krue-
ger had made talk to the league
members present. telling them of his
plans and ideas for the pictures. He
spoke of the immense va.ue of the
paintings from n monetary standpoint
and quoted the opinion Of an expert
who saw them yesterday. that they
were worth well over $f50,0O0 and
could not be duplicated for much more
than that sum.
Want Collection Elsewhere.

MEN FIND HIGH GRADE ORE
 AT GLACIER BAY
Smith and Manville Report Discovery-Assays Show
 Remarkable Values.

Discovery oI tepos.t of high grade copper ore carrying gold, silver and lead values on Frances lsiand in Glacier Bay, about 115 miles north west of Juneau, was made public to- day by NJ V Manyille and Tom D. Smith, who made the discovery on August 10th, and located claims four days later. Assays have Jeen made on samples brought to town which went as high as 42 per cent copper, S4.12 in gold, and 26 ounces in silver, and the ore is said to be the most promising shown here in years.
 MT. Manyille, who gave a brief de- scription of the property said he and MT. smith. were banning for gold on the beach at Frances Island and found several pans containing native copper nuggets. They immediately began prospecting the vicinity for it's source and came across an outcrop- ping exposed by d slide of old gla- cial deposit which showed the pure mineral.
 At this point the ledge in which the ore occurs is said to have width of 50 feet. The ledge lies between a hanging wall of limestone on one side and granite on the other. The Ioutcropping is between 800 and 1000 feet above. the beach. Both above and below the ore exposure, the ledge
 is covered by gravel and glacial muck in which is the debris of yege- tation and timber growths existing before the glacial enicroaehment. There is little vegetation and no tree growth there now, only a few alders of small size. The ledge, said MT. Manville, w8s traced by copper stoins in granite rocks through the island to the side opposite the discovery point.
 Where the ledge makes a contact with the limestone wall, two-foot gouge was found against which the massive mineral lies, and across tn. entire slide area mineral was found. The discoverers brought about 1000 pounds of the ore here for assays, samples being taken to Treadwell,
The Alaska daily empire., 1923-08-25

and others sent to the Tacoma smell ter and to Kenneeott.
 Local assays showed a copper con- tent varying from as low as 31 per cent to 43 per cent. and silver ore from one to 26 ounces. The last as- say made at the Treadwell assay of fee gave returns of 31 per cent cop per and per cent lead. No tests were made in this assay for either silver or gold.
 Various total values have been shown hy the several assays. The lowest reported by MT. Manville was s97. Another went $101, and a third $130.s5, per ton.
 While the indications in the island, it was stated, are favorable for d big volume of the ore, it will take con- siderable work to determinne it. Until returns are received from the samples sent to other assay offices, no definite plans will be made for de- velopment.
 Frances Island is about Is miles I'D Glacier Bay from its entrance. It is approximately one mile long by one-half mile wide. The entire island has been staked.

BANK CLERK C0NFESSES
TO $4,000 DEFALCAIION
Detroit Employe Says He Used
Peoples Bank Securities In
Specializing

Detroit. Mich, July 7.-Defalcations
of Edwin Spencer from the Peoples
State Bank totaled $4,000, and not
the $4,000 which the bond depart
ment employe first confessed he en-
bezzled. John w. staley, president OF
the bank, said yesterday.
Mr.. Staley said that Spencer had
made complete confession of his
Misrepresentation when he faced the
officials of the bank today
1t Is understood that, although the
defalcations were begun about two
years ago, the greater part of the Sc
curities were taken since early In May
this year, when the Michigan depart
men OF banking and the banks direc-
tors conducted two examinations of
it's affairs.
President Staley's statement was
made public soon after Spencer, who
is So years old, nodded his head in
the recorders court as Judge Jeffries
ordered him remanded for sentence.
The demeanor of the prisoner was
as calm and sedate as If he we're

Detroit, Mich, July IA good
many members of the United States

Intoxicating beer of not more than s
per cent alcoholic content, Senator
Edge of New Jersey declares In a
letter received by Mr.. Couzens today
in which he says:
Everybody is for enforcement OF
the law. but when law deliberately
violates the intent of the constitution
itself It is almost time to re-write II.
1t Is always difficult to secure sup
port to modify what is looked upon
as a moral issue. but. in my judg-
ment. it is almost immoral to at
tempt to enforce law that SPECIFICS
one-half of one percent Of alcohol as
Intoxicating.
The constitution prohibits intoxi-
eating beverages and has nothing to
say about alcoholic beverages. Every
country in the world so far as I have
been able to find out, which attempts
to differentiate between intoxicating

mits 2 per cent beer, which by vol
ume is over per cent"

ship rum Law IS
MODIFIED AGAIN
Will Be Based on Requirements
Of Country'S Laws

Washington July 7.--Liquor allow
ances in foreign ships in American
waters under a decision by the treas
ury, will be based hereafter on the re-
Iquirements OF laws of the country In
whose trade the vessels are operating,
regardless of the nationality of the
owners.
BY this addition to the ship liquor
regulations, a British owned shir
engaged exclusively in Italian trade
will receive allowances of intoxi-
cants sufficient to comply with the
laws of Italy. If a vessels passenger
list and cargo come from several
countries each of which has laws re-
quiring liquor stores, the general
medical supply will be granted and
specific provisions of the several laws
will be met in addition.
The decision resulted from repre-
sensations made by the owners of the
Cunard liner Tuscania and the White
Star liner Arabic through the British
embassy. Each ship came in conflict
with the laws of Italy requiring wine
stores for steerage passengers and
their owners appealed to this govern
ment for relief.
Public health service doctors in
passing on the liquor applications
Of the two vessels, apparently had
determined to allow only the guam
titles prescribed for medicinal uses by
British law inasmuch as both were fly
Ing the British flag. The Italians
among the steerage passengers de-
manded the wine which the laws of
their homeland said they should have,
and the decision of the treasury makes
it possible for them to have it in the
future.
