DIR. Payne explained that the head
was being kept in his garage until it
disappeared Tuesday. Later, it was
found in dense wood near Oxmoor by
in charge by Echols and Strong, negro
undertakers, and eight-column headlines
in Thursday afternoon newspapers de-
scribed it as the head of murdered
white man, who had been numerically
beaten with some blunt instrument be-
fore he was beheaded. The hysteria OF
reporters on the afternoon papers,
proved contagious and the skull was
transferred to Johns Undertaking COM

Previously acknowledged 81, 1890
j, r. StOckdelI ....... 500
The democrats of this community
have two ways in which they may
show their party loyalty and their
desire to assist in the party success
in November. The first way is by
giving according to their means to
the party's campaign fund. The Sec
ond is by voting. Whether one can
give or not, one should vote for the
candidate, for without votes he can
not be elected.
In order that there may be won
over a sufficient number OF votes
to carry the party into the White
House there must be campaign OF
education and persuasion among the
voters of the nation. Such a cam
paign cannot be carried on without
the expenditure of money.
1t is necessary to employ not only
the mails, but also the more direct
appeal of personal address and
thorough organization of the party's
forces throughout the country. Mr..
Davis has made a fine impression.
BY the sheer force of his personality
and his sincere and intelligent ex-
preston of opinion on vital public
matters he has won and is winning
hundreds of thousands of votes. de
is comparatively far stronger today
than he was two weeks ago. He
will be far stronger two weeks hence
than he is today.
1t would be reprOach upon the
membership of the party if any eff
fort to win democratic success should
fall short because of lack of funds.
The appeal is made to the rank and
file of voters, with the knowledge
that they can finance the campaign
without hardship and that for them
to do so is defense against victory
on the part of those privileged in
terests that are certain TO give liber-
ally to the republican cause.
Contribute to the election of John
w. Davis as insurance against high
taxes, the burdensome tariff and the
jeopardy of public resources.

TAMPICO, Oct. 2.-Several
workmen have been killed in a
clash between strikers and SOL
diers guarding the property of
the Mexican Gulf Oil COM
pany. The strike at this plant
has been in progress for some
time and a general strike has
been declared.
Nearly 500 strikers of the
oil company attempted to pre-
vent the loading of ships and
were fired on by the troops.
In addition to those killed, Is
were wounded. The military
say the strikers threatened
them, while the strikers assert
the soldiers attacked them
without justification. The
strike leaders have been ar
rested.
The declaration of the geA---al strife
was in protest against the killing OF
the strikers. All activities Immediately

wOrkmen set about to close all stores

military commander and the release of

They accompanied him to Johns and
promptly identified the mystery
murder" head as the one they had prev
i0usly seen.
Head Identified
Chief Hill thought this was conclu-
sive, but he was taking no chances, He
asked DIR. Payne to come to the un-
dertaking parlor.
'sThis is the same head got at Tus-
caloosa, !" the doctor laughed, as soon as
he saw it. Then he verified one portion
of the afternoon newspaper stories. The
head was "acid-seared," as he had kept
it constantly in an acid solution in con-
nection with his observation work.
DR.. Payne further asserted that the
paragraphs about the use of blunt in
struments" was partly correct, as he
had punched hole in the skull with one
of his medical tools.
A fair-sized crowd Of citizens gathered
around an operating table in Johns
and laughed with Chief
Hill and his deputies, the motor scouts
and undertakers, as DIR. Payne cleared
up the mystery murder and obviated
the necessity for any further dragging
of lake near Oxmoor in an effort to
find the torso of the head. The rest

was a negro desperate until he met
death last April in gun battle with
officers, is reposing more OF less peace.

SAYS CITY CAN'T
STAGE CONCERTS
IN AUDITORIUM
Building Under Sole Con-
troll Of Park Board,
Wynn Rules

City Attorney w. J. Wynn has ruled
that the city commission has no right
to stage concerts or other entertain
ment programs of this character in the
new auditorium or anywhere else, as
all municipal activities of this charac-
ter come solely under jurisdiction of the
park and recreation board.
This became known Thursday after
noon ana caused a stir at ciey hall,
since the commission is in full charge
of the concerts and other programs that
are to be presented at the auditorium
during opening week, beginning Octo-
Der 10. o. Gordon Erickson, audito-
rum manager, who works directly un-
der the commission, has handled all
details and has been working for sew
eral months on the dedication week Of
ferings.
Under Mr.. Wynns ruling, the park
board could raise legal objection and
halt the city from proceeding with its
plans. However, since Mr.. Erickson
has all the datails in final shape and
has already made contracts with the
concert artists who are to appear, the
view prevails that the park board will
not assert it's prerOgative, but will al
low the commission and Mr.. Erickson
to carry out their plans.
After the opening week is over, how
ever, the commission will leave all en-
tertainment projects entirely in the
hands of the park board, members said
Thursday.
Board In Control
Mr.. Wynn's ruling was made some
time ago and was read at a meeting of
the park board, it is learned. 1t set
forth that the city has absolute, juris-
diction over the building, but that an
act of the last legislature creating the
park board gave it exclusive jurisdic-
ton over all concerts, entertainment
and recreatiOnal programs sponsored by
the city.
In order to put on entertainment
programs in the auditorium, Mr.. Wynn
held in his ruling, the park and recrea-
ton board must make application to
the commission for use of the building.
However, he added, the law makes it
clear that the boo I'd is the only munic-
ipal organization with authority to
sponsor such programs.
NOulIuAbolOA AhCAAbCAS NV NNAAt
ment Thursday on the situation, al
though some members expressed the
opinion that the opening week programs
would go through as planned.
Mr.. Erickson told The Age-Herald
that the park board will take over all
entertainment events after opening
week.
Another development Thursday was
statement by Commission President
D. e. McLendon to the effect that if it
develops later that the price scale fixed
for the auditorium brings the city
profit, he will move Immediately for
reduction. He and other commissioners
asserted that the building would not be
operated for profit. They do not be-
lieve, however, that there will be any
surplus from the first years operations
after all expenses are paid.

NEW YORK, Oct. John

historic Madison Square Gar
den, where he was nominated
last summer, tonight was
given a rousing demonstration
when he promised to take off
his coat, vest, tie and whatever
else was serviceable to help
elect "Al" Smith governor of
New York state.
Mr.. Davis made the state
ment after thanking Governor
Smith for the promise the lat
ter made at the national con-
vention that he would take off
his coat and vest and work for
the election of the nominee. :.
Mr.. Davis and the governor,
entering the hall together,
were greeted by a flag waving
crowd that filled every seat.
1t was the opening gun of the
democratic campaign in this
city.

Message OF Unity
"And have come to you tonight
with the promise on my part to take off
my. coat and my vest and my collar and
my tie and as much more as will be

Mr.. Davis said he brought a message
of democratic unity and harmony of
democratic entertainment and purpose,
that stretches from New York to the
Rocky mountains and beyond"

declared, E" knows it can win this bat
tie this year if it has-and am sure

GENEVA, Oct. 2. - The
fifth assembly of the League
of Nations today solemnly
concluded its work Of peace by
the unanimous adoption of q
resolution urging that all gov
exnsnents ratify the protocol
Of arbitration and security,
providing for the pacific set
Element Of international dis
putes.
The memorable debate be-
fore the league, which closed
with the adoption of the res
olution, ended on the dramatic
note of a woman's plea that
war be forever banished be-
cause ''its first victim is al
ways the child"
Last To Speak
The sneaker was Mrs. Helen Swans
wick of Great Britain, the Nsc OF the
delegates to mount the rostrum. In IN
PRODUCING her, President Motta de-
clared:
"You viii all agree with me, my
fellow delegates, that it is most fitting
that a representative of the worlds
wonmanhood should be the last speak
er to adhere to our achievement OF
peace"
Mrs, Swanswick spoke gently and in
low tones and yet her voice carried to
every corner of the huge auditorium
as she sorrowfully sketched the woe
caused to humanity by past wars.
Women the world over, she declared,
abhorred vengeance and detested war. In
This connection she referred to the re-
ouest of Signora Matteotti, of Italy
that no attempt be made to avenge
her slain husband.
All of the Al states represented in
the assembly subscribed to the resolu-
ton which was divided into two parts.
The first recommended to the earnest
attention to all members of the League
acceptance of the protocol which pro-
vides. in addition to clauses covering
arbitration and security, for the
preparation for an international con-
ference on the reduction of ornaments.
The second part asks that all of the
countries sccede at the earliest pos
sible moment to the compulsory arbi-
tration clause of the World Court of
Justice.

closing debate today but the discourse
