Two members of the Women's Bu-
reau will be brought before the po-
lice trial board tomorrow in a case
which, according to vague insinua-
tons on the part of those interested,
may bring into the open some of the
long-standing but under-cover i'll
feeling between the man and woman
members of the Police Department.
Mrs. Gladys Black and Mrs. Pearl
P. Parker will appear before the trial
board to answer charges ot NAL
treatment" preferred by Mrs. Loretta
Marx of 1925 Eleventh street, an al
legged victim of mistaken identity.
Mrs. Black has figured a number of
times in Police Court cases, the ma
jority Of which she won.
The Offense complained of occurred
July q last in front of the home of
Mrs. Marx, to whose residence the
policewomen had gone in search of
an escaped inmate of the National
Training School for Girls.
The policewomen, it is understood,
do not deny having mistaken Mrs.
Marx for the girl for whom they were
searching, but will deny the charges
that they maltreated or otherwise
abused Mrs. Marx.
Mrs. Marx is said to have charged
that as a result of the treatment she
claims to have received from the po-
licewomen she was shocked and in
jured, mentally and physically. and
had to be placed under the care of a
physician.

Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle, head OF the

but their nature was not divulged.
Mrs. Black and Mrs. Parker are
said to have been advised that the

School was stopping at Mrs. Marx S
home. They went to the Eleventh

is stated, saw a woman and a man

One of the policewomen questioned
her, and became convinced that she

William NJ. Buckley to operate an au

Commissioners today by Bion M

The brief was filed in accordance
with method of procedure recently
adopted by the Commissioners for

AUSTIN, Tex. August 11-Gov.
Miriam A. Ferguson today declared
she was in the race for Governor of
Texas with all her heart" In a
1000 word statement she declared that
Attorney General Dan Moody, her
chief oppopent, never had accepted
her offer to resign.
The governors statement, which
has been awaited since the Demo-
cratic State executive committee last
Monday certified her name with that
of Moody's for the primary run-off,
presages a heated tWo-week cam
paign for the Democratic nomination,
which in Texas means election.
No official statement as to her plans
had been made by Gov. Ferguson
since her announcement two days
after the July "a primary, in which
she said she would not be a candidate
in the run-off.
Mrs. Ferguson makes the ku klux
Khan her principal issue, declaring
that the Klan is celebrating Moody's
large vote in the first primary as "a
klan victory"
Mrs. Ferguson declares that her
duty to her State lis greater than my
personal preference tor private life

She declared Moody had forfeited
his right to place on the run-off and
general election tickets because of his
alleged acceptance of contributions
from Representative Lee Satterwhite

Referring to her challenge to
Moody to resign, she said mot only

FIGHT FOREST FIRE
AND FIND RICH GOLD DEPOSITS
Win Race to Northern Field Over Rival Band, Which
Started Three Days Sooner-Once Cut OFF
Between Flames and River.

Despite the handicap of three days,
OSullivan and his friends travelled by
rail and gas car and finally plunged
into the forest to make their way to
oxford Lake.
They were overtaken by a fierce
forest fire which ate it's way through
the spruce trees almost with the
rapidity of lightning. At one point
the four men were cut off on rocky
point and for six hours they had to
lie fiat on their faces on the rock,
with the fire leaping between them
and the mainland and the turbulent
waters of a river flowing at their
backs.
When the party reached Oxford
Lake they found that Minneap-
oils men had not arrived. Claims
were quickly staked. A sample of
the antimony taken is said to have
assayed over so per cent pure metal.
while the gold assay ran around 81

PO|NCARE FISCAL
PROGRAM PASSED
Scenes of Wild Disorder Pre-
cede Approval of Policy by
671 to IA Vote.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. August 11.-Premier Poin-
care has completed with rapidity
rarely. if ever. equaled in the annals
of the third republic his financial
program for the rehabilitation OF
France. as far as it was politically
possible under the existing circum
stances.
The National Assembly. in session
at Versailles, has, by vote of GIL to
144, passed the bill placing the provi-
sion for a sinking fund in the consti-
tuition, for the purpose of amortizing
the countrys floating debt and gen
orally relieving the tangled financial
situation.
Liberals Cause Disorders.
1t was not without scenes of much
disorder, brought about by the oppo-
Sition of the Socialists and COmmu-
nists, that the measure was enacted
by members of the Chamber of Depu-
ties and the Senate in joint session.
Thrice the assembly had to be Sus-
pended because of the obstreperous
tactics of the opposition. Fist fights
between members of the extreme Right
and extreme left occurred during one
stage of the session. The COmmu-
nists banged desks and hurled insults
at NJ. de Selves. They also sang 1.-The
Internationale" One deputy was eX-
PEELED from the chamber because of
his intransigeance.
Premier Poincare, it is generally un-
derstood, would have preferred to
have had the Franco American and
+;ch nnt l.
fed and put out of the way during the
session of the National Assembly, ana
he might even have succeeded in
forcing them through by the authority
he enjoys, owing TO public support.
But he is said to have felt it would
be wiser to content himself with what
was accomplished and not jeopardize
his whole program for the sake of
part of it, however important.
Long Vacation Begins.
Consequently, the Senate and the
Chamber today began a long vaca-
ton. During this vacation subcom-
mittee appointed by the Chamber s
finance committee will study the two
debt agreements. M. Dariac has been
made president of the subcommission.
In telling the assembly that the
sinking fund plan should be adopted
the premier said that by such ac-
ton "our creditors will find proof
that we are determined to pay all
our debts in the measure Of our ca
pacity."
Marcel Cachin, Communist leader,
interpellated the government on the
subject of the interallied debts. He
asked particularly about the circum-
stances under which the Washington
settlement was made.
The Chamber of Deputies. by ris'
Ing vote, adjourned NJ. Cachin's inter.
pellation sine die as we'll as one by the
Communist deputy, Berthon. on the
Syrian situation.
The Chamber then rose in order to
allow the finance committee 10 delib-
crate on it's report on various bills. a
decree closing the parliamentary ses
sion is to be read in both houses to
night.

fear that rival party would beat
them to their objective, a small band

The objective of the prospectors is
described as a fine outcropping of
gold and antimony ON an island in

MEXICO ASSURED
OF CHURCH FEALTY
Catholic Episcopate Says
Leaders and Members of
Faith Have Loyalty.

MEXICO CITY. August 1.-THE
controversy between the Mexican
government and the Catholic Church
over the governments religious regu-
lations showed no signs of lessening
today.
THE battle of words" as it is be-
ing characterized here owing to the
statements of the Catholic episcopate
regarding it's stand and the govern
ment's reiteration of its policy, still
was in progress, seemingly with no
prospects at present of anything
more dangerous than words being
used.
The Catholic authorities. who con
sistently have ordered moderation and
no violence, declared today that they
would not support any revolution.
The episcopate even went further.
when in statement to the Associated
Press it asserted that in the event
Mexico was menaced by armed con
t1ict with foreign power the church
and it's members would support the
Mexican government with absolute
loyalty.
Modification Is Hoped.
Hope throughout the country per-
sists that the new Congress in Sep
tember may modify the religious regu-
lations. But it is said that unless
President Gales softens in his atti-
tude. congressional relief is doubtful.
The economic boycott called in pro-
test against the government reli-
gious policy continues to be the cause
Of much apprehension. but some re-
lief is expressed over the abandon
ment of joint debates by government
and religious leaders on the religious
situation. These debates had been
drawing big crowds and the argu.
ments were becoming so warm and
the feeling so intense that it was
feared serious clashes might develop
if the debates were continued.
