NEGRO shot IN
ATTACK ON CITY
MARSHAL DIES
Chase Starts at San Be-
nito, Ends Near La
Feria; Three Wrecks
Left in Path of Car

j. B. King, negro, said to be from
Robstown, died at A o'clock this morn
ing in the city hospital at Harlingen
from bullet wound received yesterday
Afternoon when he is alleged to have at
tackled Arthur Goolsby, city marshal of
San Benito, in field short distance
east of La Feria after the city marshal
had chased the negro from San Benito
to that point, two wrecks taking place
in the chase.
King left Brownsville Sunday after
noon in company with three other ne
groes, according to Traffic Officer
ID. II. Ferguson of Harlingen, who re-
ported the affair here this morning.
On the way to San Benito car was
forced into the ditch by the car driven
sons who went into the ditch followed
the car on into San Benito, where
Goolsby was notified.
The city marshal started out after
the car, and about mile and hall out
from San Benito the car which King
was driving collided with another car.
Goolsby went up to where the wreck
was, took King out of the car and placed
him in his own ear. When the officer
went back to the scene of the wreck,
in which no one was injured, King drove
off with the officers automobile.
Goolsby tagged a passing motor car,
and gave chase, although the vehicle
which he was in could not catch the
negro in the officers motor At the
Arroyo bridge, this side of Harlingen,
there was another wreck, although it
was only slight collision, and King
did not stop. However, it resulted in
a traffic jam on the bridge, and Gools-
by, unable to pass in the car, ran across
the bridge, and got into another auto
mobile and gave chase.
The officer was gaining on the negro
rapidly when a third collision stopped
the race This time Goolsbys car,
driven by King, ran into a heavy touring
car belonging to Mrs. Freeland Of La
Feria, Mrs. Nutter of that city being
slightly hurt in the accident. King lett
the car and started across field near
the road. Goolsby gave chase, at the
same time motioning for the persons
driving the car in which he had chase:
the negro, to drive around side road
and cut off the negro's escape.
When he was turned back, King at
tackled Goolsby, the officer said, de-
claring, here's where Pm going to get
you. 1t was here that the negro was
shot, the bullet going in the front Of
his abdomen, and passing out his hip.
He was operated on last night, but
failed to survive the wound, succum bing
at O'Clock this morning.
William Taylor, owner of the automo-
bile, in which the negro was first rid
ing, is being held in connection with
the accident.

PARIS, Jan. 26. - Discussion of

Marin's address, is quoted by the Ex-
celsior as saying:

America. i did say that it seemed i'm
possible physically and materially that
France could reimburse the whole of
that debt.
~ wish to contest only one point in
Senator Borah's statement. He says
France gained value of 100000 by
the Sarre Mines. Doesn't he know that
that sum was inscribed on the debit
side of Frances balance sheet against
her claim for restoration Of the devas-
tated regions? Furthermore. all spe-
cialists agree that the sum thus debit
ed is greater than the mines real value
II defy America herself to reim-
burse sum OF $3,000,000,000. She
would be incapable and nevertheless
the United States financial situation is
much more solid than ours"
Alesandre Varenne. socialist, wee
president of the chamber of deputies
told Excelsior:
Senator Borah pretends that the
American taxpayer is more heavily bur-
dened than the French. / maintain that
the French taxpayer is more heavily as
ssessed than the German. The prob

big step forward if America employed
her whole energy in making Germany

The governmental oaran LOeuvre
says:
"Mr. Borah admits his nearsighted
ness when he declares that the France
of Rochambeau and Lafayette only aid

that the America Of Pershing aided
France for the love of France alone
