GAS MAN ATTACKED
Ihompsonyille Employe slashed and Shot At By Men Stopping On Pre- text of Buying Oil.

Thompsonyille, Dee. 94-Louis Hemer, employed at a gasoline sta- ton, near the state line, was slashed in the face last night by an uniden- titled assaiIant who stopped on the pretext of needing oil for the ma chine in which he and another man were riding
 When Helmer stopped over the car the stranger drew a sharp instru- ment and inflicted q cut the length of Helmer's right cheek which re- quired twenty stitches. Helmer grap. pied with his assaiant but as he did so, the other man in the machine fired two shots from q revolver but neither took effect. The machine, which Helmer claims carried a Mas sachusetts license, then sped away in the direction of Springfield.
 Helmer, who formerly was en- gagged in the taXicab business in Springfield, claims that ho knew neither of the men nor inc reason for the assault, but said that he would be able to identify his assail- ants. The police of ThompsonviIIe and Springfield arc working on the case.

HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
 NINE GETS HIGH RATING
Purple, Coached By Barry Is Called Best College Team In
 Country.

New York, Dec. 2i. -- Analysis of eastern intercollegiate championship honors for 1924 reveals that Holy Cross has d much stronger claim 10 the baseball title than Yale, which was supreme in moro branches of competition than any rival the past year.
 Holy Cross, due chiefly to the great pitching of Owen Carroll, boasted an unbeaten nine which hung up a string of IS triumphs, in- cluding victories over Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, Boston col lcge and Colgate, all among the strongest in the east. Boston college and Harvard were beaten twice by the Worcester coIIegians, who are coached by Jack Barry, shortstop in the famous infieId of the Philadcl- phia Athletics a decade ago. Yale, on the other hand, was only able to break even, winning 15 and losing the same number of games. Tho Blue, however, aided by the fine boxwork of Ducky Pond, lately a football hero, wound up its season with two triumphs over Harvard Princeton, the other member of the Big Three" shut out Yale twice and had an otherwise fine record
 until the Tigers stumbled against
 Harvard.

Manila, Dec. 24--The insular gov ernment has taken steps to protect the Philippine pearl beds and the pearling industry by ordering closed certain portions of the pearl fishing field around Mindanao and Sulu. during alternate periods ranging from three to five years.
 This action is said to he pre- liminary to a thorough regulation of the pearling industry which the gov crnment contemplatos undertaking after q survey of all the pearl beds in Philippine waters.

 Recently John Mitchell their father, lost his job. He and his wife agreed to put the children, Dor othy Daisy and Margaret, one year and two and a half years old, in the Parrish home until financially able to take care of them.
 Using their scant savings the Mitchcus decorated a Christmas tree in their furnished rooms, planning 10 have the babies enjoy their Christmas at home. Today they went to the Parrish homo to get the little girls, with the promise of pay ment of the $15 board bill as soon as they could earn it. But Mrs. Parrish refused to let the children go.
 The Mitchclls appealed 10 the po- lice. A stormy scene took place at the Parrish homo, with many threats of violence, but the Mitcholls came away with their little girls, who will enjoy the Christmas their parents had planned,

COUNCIL MEETING

Allied Ambassadors Have Not
 Yet Completed Their Reports

Paris, Dec, 24,--The meeting of the allied council Of ambassadors now has been put off undl Saturday, principally to give time for the cX- ports 10 complete their draft of Inc note relative to the evacuation of Cologne which win be submitted 10 the council and, after ratification. delivered to the German goyern- ment.
 M Lahochc, chief of tho political department and M. lromugeot, chief legal adviser of the foreign office, worked all day yesterday on the note with General Desticker, Marshal Fochs chief of staff, and had a long conference with Premier Hcrriot last evening.
 The armamcnts control commis- sion will not have completed its in- vestigation until after the tenth of January, and consequently will not be able to make a full report con- taining It's final opinion of the CNcCu- tion of the disarmament clauses of the Versailles treaty by Germany until after that datg.
 Only when in possession Of the commissions report will the allied governments be in position to pro nounce finally on the question of eyacuating the Cologne bridgehead.
 At the same time it is stated in French diplomatic circles that a provisional report by the commission unanimously concludes that Germany is not fulfilling her obligations under the disarmament clauses, which would suffice to justify maintenance of the Rhineland occupation ill it's entirety,

1900 MILES AN HOUR
 M AIR FORESEEN
Flight Across Ocean At Ten
 Mile Altitude Predicted

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 3.-Flights be- tween Europe and America in two hours at an altitude of 10 miles and with 2,000 horsepower motors, are fore cast by >S. Lindequist, a well-known Swedish airplane constructor, in a statement published by a leading Stock holm paper.
 One of the greatest aims in aviation in the immediate future should be to cut down the flying time between con tinents, says Mir. Lindequist, and this probably can be done by flying at ex- tremelX high attitudes. The effect of gravitation decreases with the increase in altitude, and it has been estimated, he says, that plane which has a speed of 100 miles an hour near the surface of the earth can attain a speed of 1,200 miles an hour at an altitude of about 10 miles.
 At such a height the rarity of the atmosphere would constitute q diSad- vantage both to the ordinary motor and the ordinary propeller. But this difficulty can be overcome, declares Mir Iindequist, by using propeller with adjustable blades, so that the pitch of the blades could be altered with the density of the air, and by using special compressorS for the mo- tor which would compensate for the decrease in barometrie pressure at high attitudes. Such q motor would prob ably have to develop about 2,OOO horsepower. Mir. Lindequist declares that the problems of the adjustable propeller and aerial compression motor ,sar hn aOIVad

MRS. EVANS SHOT YOUTLAW GANG OF MEXICANS Federal Forces Sent To Apprehend Her As

 mans Aid
tBy The Associated press)

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 3.--Mrs. Rosalie Evans, formerly of Brown vile, Texas, and a widow of a for mer president of the Bank of Lon- don in Mexico, an Englishman, was shot dead in the vicinity of Tex melucan, state of Puebla, Saturday evening when on the road to her hacienda. The slayers are unknown but are believed to be agrarians who have been spurred on by anti foreign agitators in the region.
 Mrs. Evans was shot through the left side and, falling from the buggy in which she was driving, her hair caught in the wheels and the body was dragged some distance. Her face was badly mutilated.
 John Strauss, a German, manager of Mrs. Evans hacinda, was with her at the time of the attack. He was seriously wounded by the assailants who escaped with a payroll of 2,0OO pesos which he was carrying.
 Mrs. Evans body was recovered by a Spanish subject, Luciano Rodriguez, and taken to Texeluncan. where Strauss is being cared for. Federal forces im- mediately were sent in pursuit of the slayers.
