Fists Fly During
Texas Hearing In
Rev. Norris Case

I FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 2S
| (AP)-A fistic encounter between
o. E. Carr, city manager of Fort
Worth, and Marvin Simpson, at
ttorney, followed a declaration by
Carr today that he believed the at
ttorney was involved in sending a
man to Mayor Fl. c. Meacham with
an offer. to kill the Rev. j. Frank
Norris, Baptist minister, who faces
q murder charge.
Carr asserted the attorney and
DR.. Norris sent a man to Mayor
Meacham in an effort to trap the
official, who is assisting in the
prosecution of DR.. Norris.
The city manager made his
charge while Simpson, attorney for
the minister, was taking Carr's
deposition in a $150,000 damage
suit brought against Dr. Norris by
the 14-year-old son of D. E. Chipps,
lumberman, who was shot and
killed by Dr.. Norris in the study
of the First Baptist church here
last July.
Tells of Mystery Visit
Carr testified that a man visited
Mayor Meacham, close friend of
Chips, and offered to kill Dr..
Norris for $4,000. The mayor, Carr
said, rejected the offer and said
Ihe would be willing to spend an
equal amount to save the pastors
life.
"Why didn't you have the fellow
arrested?" Carr was asked.
Because l thought Simpson sent
him." the witness replied.
"If you think that, you're just a
liar" shouted Simpson, springing
at Carr.
The attorney was quieted, but af-
ter Carr had finished the deposi-
ton, Simpson demanded to know
if the city manager "still believed"
it. He struck Carr a staggering
blow. Carr, with his oyercoat on,
fought back until the two were
separated
Would Withdraw Remark
Before leaving the stand, Carr
admitted to Dayton Moses, associ-
ated with Simpson in DR.. Norris
defense, that perhaps he should
withdraw" the remark as applied
to Simpson.
Mayor Meacham in a deposition
declared there was no organized
effort to push the prosecution Of
the minister on the murder charge.
He freely admitted that he had
given $4,000 for the employment
of special prosecutors in the case.
He said he was interested in the
prosecution because Chips was
killed while taking my side"
The lumberman was slain when
he went to Dr.. Norris to protest
against attacks being made by the
preacher on Mayor Meacham and
the city administration.
Dr.. Norris trial is set for Janu-
airy 10 at Austin.

WASHINGTON, Dec. % (AP)-
The trouble in Nicaragua aroused
new reverberations in Washington
today, stirring the White House to
make public explanations of its
policy and bringing into sharper
definition the points of coptrover-
sy between the administration and
it's critics.
Replying directly to some of the
protests against the landing of
American forces on Nicaragua soil,
the White House spokesman declar-
ed the United States had no other
object than protection of American
life and property, and was taking
no hand as between the two Mica
raguan factions who are contend
ing for control of the country.
Later in the day Secretary Kel-
logg of the state department, and
Secretary Wilbur of the Navy, went
hurriedIy to the White House
where they remained closeted for
q long time with President Cool
idge.
Sacasa Envoy Protests
The development set in motion
many reports of important develop
ments in the embattled little Cen
trail American republic, but when
the conference was over the White
House and Mr.. Wilbur remained
silent while Secretary kellogg
said the conversation had related
to China.
Meantime the envoy here of the
unrecognized SacaSa government at
Puerto Cabezas sent to the state
department formal protest against
the operations of the American
forces landed in the Puerto Cabe-
zas district
Among other things the protest
accused Rear Admiral Latimer, the
American naval commander in Mic
aragua waters, of setting up cen
sorship in violation of the inter
national law. Both the state and
i navy department denied that they
knew of any such a step.
One of those who looked upon
the days developments with par
ticular curiosity was Chairman
Borah of the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee. The administra-
tion policy in Nicaragua has not
appealed to him very strongly but
he is Withholding a decision De-
spite assurances given him repeat
cdly in talks he has had with Sec
retary kellogg, Mr.. Borah is MAX
ing a personal investigation and
until it is completed he will not
decide whether to ask congress to
go into the whole subject after the
holidays.

Odd Method of TrGUel
Called "Ride and Tie''

Salmon p Chase, Lincoln's secre-
tary of the treasury, showed financial
ability early in his life. When he
went from his New Hampshire home
to Worthington, Ohio, to live with his
uncle, he was accompanied by an older
brother as far as Cleveland, where he
was given instructions as to how TO
reach Worthington. Finding that he
had to wait several days for a coach
to take him as far as Medina, he
obtained a canoe and earned several
dollars by ferrying people across the
Cuyahoga river, relates j. FL. Gal
braith, Ohio historian. In Medina he
met two young men from W0rthing-
ton, whom he was to accompany on
their return trip. They had come on
horseback, so young Chase was intro
duced to the "ride and tie" method Of
travel. Che OF them would mount the
horse and ride forward several miles,
of course Outstripping the one who
walked. Then the rider would dis
mount and tie the horse by the road
side and press on by foot. The other
would reach the horse, mount it and
passing his companion, would tie it
and go ahead on foot In this way the
horse was spared a double burden
and the travellers made good speed.

Rest Not Advisable
I'm NERVOUS Weakness

Rest cures are going out of fashion
and physicians are prescribing work
cures instead, says DIR. George J.
Wright in Hygeia Magazine. Pro-
longed nervous weakness is usually
considered the result of some other
condition, such as a physical defect
that reduces the body's reserve
strength or impairs the process Of re-
pair so that ordinary physical or men
tai activity Is no longer possible. In
fections may produce the same effect
of nervous weakness.
Emotional disturbances are particu-
larry depressing and exhausting. Vari-
GUS physical ills, such as headaches,
stomach distress, a neck pain or a
choking feeling are often due to emo
tional or nervous strain, but not to
overwork. Work and worry may be
very exhausting, but work by itself is
not harmful.
People vary in their inherent mental
and nervous strength as they do in
physical strength. Persons leading a
quiet, tranquil life may never discover
that they are weak mentally or ner-
vously. However, sudden crises, such
as a war, force them TO exert them
selves beyond their strength and a
breakdown follows.

Plants and Light

All plants require some light. Sun
light supplies the energy which causes
chemical reactions to take place in
side the leaves. These reactions con-
vert the raw food elements into food
elements available to the plant, says
Nature Magazine Therefore, such
sun-loving plants as geraniums, roses,
and abutilon, when set away in a dark
corner, do not thrive so well as when
placed in a sunny window. On the
other hand, plants which like a mild
amount of sunlight, and this includes
palms, aspidistra, ferns, and many Of
the vines, do not thrive if put In a
sunny location.

Substantial Basis for
Most Common Beliefs

1t Is a fact proved by actual count
that a large number Of persoSs pre-
fer the risk of being run over through
having stepped from a sidewalk into
the road, than to continue on the curb
If by so doing they are compelled to
pass under some ladder which has
been erected against the side Of a
building.
This superstition that it is unlucky
to pass beneath ladder dates back
to the time when the hanging Of
wrongdoers was a very common oc-
currence. The nearest tree was usually
chosen, but when towns sprung up
and trees were less available, a lad
der propped against the wall made
the gibbet.
The phrase mot worth cuss" which
is often applied to some person or
article, was formerly mot worth a
cress," writes Mr.. Charles Plat in
Popular Superstitions. The express
sion, he says, related to nasturtiums,
which were a nuisance to gardeners
because of their habit OF scattering
seeds all over the place.
The belief that May is an unlucky
month for marriage is due, he thinks.
to the fact that the Romans dedi-
Gated that month to old people, which
thereby suggests that young lovers
had better take a back seat for a
time.

Worship Monkey God

In many of the central Indian states
the princes, on succession, have tn sir
foreheads marked In blood from the
thumb or toe of a Bill, or bowman.
They believe this is mark of Bill
allegiance. but it more probably is a
relic of days when the tribe was in
power in India, says bulletin from
the National Geographic society. They
have binding oaths, the most sacred
being that sworn by a dog, the Bill
praying that the curse of a dog may
fall upon him who breaks his word.
For centuries Hanuman, the monkey
god, has been the chief divinity Of
these people. Offerings also are made
to the much-feared goddess of small
pox and stone worship is still found
among them.

Engine Cylinders

The Society of AutOmotive Engineers
says that all radial or rotary engines
as commonly used in airplanes have
an odd number of cylinders around
a single crank. The firing order skips
alternate cylinders, and will have Oc-
Cured in all the cylinders in two COM
plete revolutions Of the crank or cyl
inder, depending on whether the en-
CINE is a fixed or rotary radial engine.
Engines of this type having an even
number of cylinders, such as 10 or IA,
are composed of two banks of five and
seven cylinders, respectively. Radial
and rotary engines are characterized
by having the cylinders disposed at
equal angular intervals around COM
plete circle.

Education and Business

An insurance company, like many
companies in other lines Of business,
found that 1t is not always wise to en-
ploy a man too well educated. He may
be too ambitious to stay, or at least
may feel himself above it and not put
whole-hearted effort into it. For many
selling jobs a high school graduate is
far more desirable than a college grad
uate. But a high school graduate has
more persistence than man who went
only part way through high school.
Likewise, college graduate is more
likely to stick than one who went to
college but not all the way through

Short but Merry Life

The gentleman bee is the worlds
greatest loafer. He sings and plays
all summer long. So long as the sun
shines and the honey is coming In
plentifully, the ladies Of the hive who
do the work, let him have all he
wants to eat and let him live in the
hive. But when winter comes his fun
is over. The workers don't waste
their stingers killing him, they just
shove him out of the hive with orders
to stay out. With free board and
lodging cut off he dies in few hours.

who knows more about bees than most
Of us know about humans.-Capper's

Dominion Sought as

The history of the struggle for lib

merely the history Of wars fought and
battles won in the name Of deliverance
from oppression. 1t is the history Of
the struggle of mankind for dominion;
and dominion is only another name for
the perfect freedom.
Man has achieved not only freedom
from the beast, but dominion over II,
not only freedom from enemy man Dut
dominion over him. He has achieved
at least a partial safety from the ele-
ments. and exercises at least q partial
dominion over them. He has learned
TO divert and dominate the lightning;
he has made fire and water his slaves
and only on occasion do they rise
against him; he has subdued the hard
earth with the share, and converted
its minerals and metals from dead
weights into the ministers of his COM
fort. He has made the labor of an
hour the achievement of minute; he
can travel in a day by sea the weeks
distance Of his grandfatherS, and by
land the distance Of their month; he
has vanquished the air. In these
ways and others he has won new lib
