chester county, are convinced that the
man was mentally afflicted. They
turned him over to an alienist.
Amundsen was one of the two men
arrested in connection with the mur,
der Of Miss Kaufman on the estate
of Magruder Craighead, her en-
ployer.
The other was a negro, Charles
Simple, who was released promptly
when Charles Baldwin and Madeline
Harmer, both Of whom saw the negro
suspected Of having slain the girl
failed to identify him as the wanted
man.
Amundsen, a white man, was ap-
pretended at Dobbs Ferry, when his
rambling talk of a fight in Buffalo
with a State trooper aroused the sus-
picions of John Cello, a driver Of q
bus plying between Dobbs Ferry and
White Plains.
The prisoner admitted, say the po-
lice, that he had spent the day of the
murder in the vicinity Of the Craig
head home, but gave an account of
himself which, if verified, probably
will lead to his freedom.
The parents can throw no light on
the matter. They say the girl had nc
lovers that her life had always beer
exemplary, and they can account fol
no motive for the dastardly deed.
The body was brought to Pocomoke
City and transferred from here te

Oil Men. Expect Drop in Gas

LOS ANGELES, Aug. soil men
hers predict that gasoline will drop
to 10 cents a gallon in this vicinity in
the near future. While oil companies
are frantically attempting to cope
with overproduction. oil is pouring
out of the ground faster than tankers,
trains and pipe lines can handle it.
New wells are being brought il
daily, and leading producers contend
that unless production is curbed,

Santa Fe Springs, Huntington Beach
and Signal Hill
Gasoline prices have already fallen
far below prices elsewhere in the
United States and now range from IL
to 10 cents a gallon including 2-cent
per gallon road tax. If the price
props to 10 cents, as predicted, the
Southern California oil industry will
be wrecked. it is said. Pessimists
claim the low price will prevail for
only a short time, but that 1t will
stop production and eventually send
the prices soaring to 80 or 40 cents
gallon.
The big companies have been hold
ing conferences for several weeks for
the purpose Of formulating plans for
curling production and maintaining a
higher level Of prices. The indepen-
dent companies have steadfastly re-
fused to join in this scheme and price
cutting continues. Meanwhile, the

REIGN OF TERROR SURROUNDS SCENE| OF DUBLIN SCRAP

LONDON, March 16-The Dublin correspondent of the Daily Sketch. in dispatch from the Irish capital. describes the extraordinary condi- tions under which the Siki- -McTigue bout will take place tomorrow night. Already owing to the pronuncia- mento of the republicans against the opening of theatres and other places of amusement, Free State troops are everywhere guarding public build ings, patrolling streets, stopping and searching passing vehicles and exam ming citizens to ascertain if they are carrying arms.
 The Free tSate governments reply to the republican proclamation was to order all the theatres to open to- night and the terrified managers of comply. Hence tonight lights every where were blazing. but the audi ences were sparse in the theatres. moving picture houses and other places.
 The manager of the Scala theatre. where Ski and McTigue will fight, at first refused to open his doors tonight because he had received mysteriously delivered threats to blow up the the atre if it was opened. Similar threats are said to have been delivered to the promoters of the fight. but neverthe- less they expressed their determina- tion to hold the contest.

SIKI COMES BACK TO EARTH ON EVE OF M'TIGUE BOUT
Sengalese Stops Moaning for Wine and Wants Eleventh
 Hour Training

DUBLIN, March 16.-Battling Ski between moans for wine on the eve of his fight with Mike McTigue, de- clared sullenly that he would knock out the Irish middleweight in the same speedy fashion that he minis tered to Georges Carpenter.
 The Senegalese battler, who had to be taken forcibly to Dublin from the wiles of Paris. showed a last minute desire to do some training but his manager squashed the idea and compelled the black boy to rest all evening in his quarters.
 The odds, based upon Silti's ap- Tigue, 6 to 4, to win. Joe Beckett, the steady blow absorber from Britain, inspected the Irish son and predicted McTigue would score a knockout.
 The guard of the Scala theatre will be heavily reinforced Friday night to prevent violence and to ward off Interference by Irish republicans, who are opposed to holding the bout on St. Patricks Day.
 All Dublin seethes with expecta- tion. A big array of British and continental European sportsmen, newspaper men and camera men has arrived to cover the match, which has the double attraction of involv- ing an Irish boy and of giving Siki chance to vindicate his name.
 Georges Carpenter. who last took the count from Ski, is expected to sit at the ringside. He will pick up few pointers on the champions s fighting style for use when he meets him in a return contest in Septem- ber

 Suzanne Very Cautious.
 Mile. Lenglen played each shot as though her life depended on it, eau tiously but powerfully serving against Molla's weak back hand and reaching dread accuracy in base line fire Mrs. Mallory, on the other hand, exhibited the same wildness that she had shown in previous French tournaments this winter.
 When it was over, Mrs. Mallory's actions were closely watched by the spectators who knew of her tongue flashing episodes with Suzanne. Molla surprised them by smiling, walking toward the net and shaking hands with her winner as though it had been a casuel meeting.
 This was the fourth contest be- tween the two women. The first was in St. Cloud in June, 1921, when Suzanne scored 6-2, 6-3 victory. Then came their encounter in August of the same year at Forest Hills. L. l., when Suzanne quit after losing the first set, 6-2. The third match was at Wimbledon.

 Her defeat Friday was the most complete she had ever suffered. Her friends believe she should take a long rest before competing in Ameri- can tournaments this summer.

MANY "TF'S" ARE CONNECTED WITH TALK OF BATTLE
Nobody Seems Able to Run Down Talk of Firpo-
 Dempsey Bout

NEW YORK, March 16. If Jack Dempsey will quit talking and leave this function to his dapper manager, Jack kearns, and if Kearns can come to terms with Tex Rickard regard ing this man Luis Angelo Firpo, and if Rickard and Kearns can find enough money among South Amer ican sportsmen to promote this sort of thing, the match between the champion and FirpC may yet be put on at Buenos Aires.
 But therell be no purse of $7o0,000, and it's foolish to talk in such fig ures.
 This seemed to be the status Fri day of the Firpo- Dempsey ballyhoo. which has been besieging the cauli- flowers ever since the Argentine bambino sent Bill Brennan looping to the canvas.
 Kearns has modified his statement that Dempsey is willing tC fight for shirt button, "any place, any time. against any opponent, for the sake of action"
 He says he has been approached by promoters in Buenos Aires and that some kind of Firpo-Dempsey love- lace is in the weaving. Kearns took an odor Of petunia scent with him onto a telephone booth Friday and wired his husky protege at Los Ange- les to see where this talk of $750,O0O emanated. Dempsey replied that he'd heard nothing of it, but admitted he. had told friends he was counting on scrapping the underslung jaw of this Firpo.
 Tex Rickard announced, with be- coming wrath. that neither he nor Kearns had received overtures or brief cases from any South American sportsmen. He laughed at rumors that the fight would be arranged anywhere except in these United States. Besides, he said he had years contract for the services of the huge Argentine boy and would not release him without first insuring shade of receipts for Tex Rickard.
 His plans fer Firpo would preclude any South American fracas before fall at least, he added.
 Either Jack Renaulti or Billy Miske will be chosen to meet Firpo at the Yankee stadium on May 12, the same day that Jess Willard will attempt comeback against Floyd Johnson. Rickard. who is arranging the go, said his choice probably would be Renault.

 Her overwhelming defeat of the American champion in the finals of the Nice tournament Friday placed her superiority beyond a doubt, and marked her as easily the world g tennis title holder.
 Though neither of the two arch opponents revealed the least person. al animus before or after the match, by her defeat and Mile. Lenglen was more elated than at any time since she has trod the clay courts.

 -Pll beat her. never fear" the French woman said to her parents at the netside.
 The Norsewoman, on her part seemed ready to take matters as they came. She stood smoking a cigarette easily while waiting for the match to begin.
 The women came together, smil- ing. They shook hands. Then the careful, cunning shots of the French girl swept Mrs. Mallory off her feet
 Inaccuracies in volleying worked Molla's downfall. Her game seemed to give way altogether under the re- lentless fire of Suzanne's drives.
