ARSON SUSPECT TO
SURRENDER, BELIEF
OF HOUSTON POLICE
Brother Says Accused Man
in No Way Connected
With Fatal Fire.

Houston, Tex, April 26.-With the
police of two cities seeking him, Jack
Warren, the alleged "mystery man"
in the Webster avenue fire, is expect
ed to come in and surrender at any
moment. If he does it will be under
charges of murder and arson. He
was charged yesterday before Justice
Campbell Overstreet with applying the
torch to the kerosene-heated house
that caused the deaths of Mrs. Ethel
Raab. 22-year-old nurse. and w. f..
Flager. 67-year-old collector, whose
presence in the dwelling has not yet
been accounted for.
A brother of Warren's indicated
early yesterday that Warren would
surrender.
The brother arrived in Houston al
0 a. M, went directly 10 an adviser
and said: Il see they are looking for
Jack. He is not guilty of this deed.
i will go find him and have him sur.
reuter.s 80 lsSgs.-r-lA ...-s.,.,.-.-
Detectives who have been working
ON the case since the fire, believe they
have enmeshed Warren in net of
evidence from which he cannot es-
cape.
In spite Of their silence, il is be-
lieved certain that Evelyn Patterson.
beautiful sister of the dead woman. is
the pivotal point around which the
case is built.
She is believed to have seen War
rem since the fire. 1t is also believed
that Warren is the mystery man"
that has lived with Mrs. Raab at
three addresses in the last three
months.
But though the police are certain
that Warren knows much OF the death
house and the cause of the fire. they
have not yet established a motive for
the murder of the man and the wo-
man. They have advanced the "jeal-
Gus lover" theory but this alone seems
TO have little substance.
1t is not considered likely that n
22-year-old girl. with beautiful form
and features. would become in love
with a man 81 years old.

COOLIDGE SEEKS
COMPROMISE ON
EXCLUSION BILL
Trying to Avoid Affront
to Japan and Sat-
isfy America.

Washington. ID. c., April 26.-Sen-
ntc and House confereeS took up diff
ferences in their respective immigra-
ton bills today willie President Cool
idge proceeded with efforts TO work
out an arrangement that would avoid
any affront TO japan and at the same
time satisfy advocates of the japanese
exclusion provisions overwhelmingly
incorporated in both measures.
Although it was made known ut the
White House yesterday that an at
tempt was being made to bring about
q compromise on the exclusion ques-
ton. no indication was given of its
trend by officials or callers who dis
cussed the subject with President
Coolidge. Chairman Colt of the Sem
ate immigration committee. who con-
ferred with the President ON the ex-
clusion provision yesterday. also at
tended the opening session of the con-
ferees, but he did not disclose wheth-
er he carried any proposal from the
White House to the conference room.
Acceptance by the Senate of the
House bills non-quota provisions has
been suggested by some representa-
tives who supported the measure as
step which might make it less objec-
tionable to Japan and be acceptable
to exclusion advocates, thus attain
ing the object sought by the Presi-
dent. The question of a presidential
veto if the projected arrangement fails
remains a matter of specu-
lation in the. absence of any indica-
ton of the EXCLUSIONS intentions in
such an event.

WOMAN IS HELD

A pretty, bobbed-haired white wom-
an, will face corporation court
Thursday morning to answer a va
grancy charge. growing out of an al
legged vice violation with negro Fri
day night.
The arrest was made by Detective
Townsend at AS Friday night, after
a demonstration in the 200 block
Chestnut street, in which several
score of men and 'wemen. many of
whom were negroes, are said TO have
participated. Townsend spirited the
white woman from the scene, he said.
to prevent possible trouble between
whites and blacks.
Police and detectives are searching
for two negro men. one as the man
with whom the white girl. partly clad.
is alleged to have been discovered in
room on Chestnut street. The other,
detectives say, is sought as an al
legged panderer for the white woman.
Has No Police Record.
The white woman. after her arrest.
was taken 10 police headquarters and
booked When the case was called
in police court Saturday morning, an
attorney, representing the woman, OBJ

are said to have discovered the white
woman and the negro in the room.
They gave an alarm and forcibly
sought to detain the couple pending
arrival of police.
Pulled Woman From Negroes Arms.
The commotion thus caused. resulted
in many whites and blacks congregat-
ing. Excitement reached high pitch,
and the negroes are reported to have
demanded the couple be held for the
authorities. During the milling about
by spectators. the negro. alleged COM
panion of the white woman. is said
to have grabbed her up bodily in his
arms and sought TO escape. but was
frustrated in his effort when negro
women. for the most part, grabbed
the white woman and pulled her from
his arms. During the confusion the
negro man disappeared and while eff
forts were being made to 'overtakc
him the other negro departed. The
hat and coat of the negro said found
in the room was left behind and will
be held by the police.
Trouble Was Averted.
The timely appearance IF Detective
Townsend, a negro officer. police say.
prevented possible trouble. Rather
than wait for the patrol, Townsend
pressed an automobile into service and
slipped away to headquarters with
the white woman.
1.-The whites were assembling FAST
said Townsend. "and deemed the
safest thing to do was TO get the
woman away before some with mis- |
taken ideas might start trouble with
the blacks, though the latter were only |
trying TO do what they deemed was |
best to uphold the law. They wanted !
both negroes and the woman punished. |
Such acts lead to trouble for the ne
gro and this they desired TO avoid"
