HURTS HAND AT FIRE,
BUT STICKS TO HIS JOB
Patrol Driver Removes Property
From Blazing Garage While
Awaiting Help.

While attempting to remove a can of
gasoline that he feared might explode
during a fire that last night partially
destroyed the garage of the fourth pre-
c1nct F street between Four -and-a-Half
and Sixth streets southwest, Patrol
Driver H. L. Dull was burned on the
right hand, but continued his efforts
30 remove property until after the ar
rival of firemen.
The origin of the fire, which was dis
covered about 9:30 o'clock by Dull, has
not been determined, since no one from
the precinct had been in the place
since about o'clock.
Dull was just starting to back the
patrol wagon into the garage when he
saw the glare of the FIRE He imme-
diately ran the wagon out and then
started an investigation, discovering the
can of gasoline. 1t was by then sur
rounded by flames, but he picked it
up and started out. The flames got
too hot, however, and he was forced
to drop it.
The fire destroyed Police Depart

Policeman E. C. zepp of the cabinet
shop, located on the second floor, and
a number of desks, chairs and other
articles, as well as large amount OF
lumber stored in the cabinet shop. The
van, a motor cycle and several bicycles
were removed from the building without
being damaged.

GITLOW DENIES
KIDNAPPING REPORT
Communist Candidate Shows
Up in Houston and
Makes Speech.

BY the Associated Press.
HOUSTON. Tex. October 15.-Ben-
jamin Gitlow, New York, vice-presi-
Dental candidate of the Workers
(Communist) party set at rest all re-
ports that he had been kidnapped,
jailed or was missing in Arizona, when
he suddenly appeared here last night
to deliver a scheduled campaign ad-
Dress.
The candidate, for whom concern
was felt at the national party head
quarters in New York, following his
failure to appear for an address in
Phoenix, Ariz last Wednesday was &C
corded a Scant reception here. Denied
use of the Labor Temple, he delivered
his address to small crowd at local
club headquarters.
Gitlow said he passed up scheduled
appearances in Arizona when he re-
ceived a telegram at San Diego, Calf.
signed by William O'Brien, Workers
gubernatorial candidate, which advised
him that his spekaing dates had been
Cancelled.
He said he did not leave San Diego
until Thursday and stopped off in Ell
Paso, timing his arrival here for Sum-
day. He was not aware that he had
been reported missing, he said, and ex
perienced no trouble while passing
through Arizona.
Conflicting reports reached the ma
tional headquarters last week that Git
low had been taken from his train in
Phoenix; that he had been jailed in
Nogales; that he had been kidnapped
and taken to NogaleS Sonora, Mexico,
and that he had disappeared entirely.
Communist headquarters in New
York, following his reported disappear
ance, said that the Ku Klux Klan and
the American Legion in Phoenix and
Tucson had threatened to prevent Com
munist meetings in those cities. Head
quarters charged those organizations
with abducting Gitlow and said it would
demand an investigation by State and
Federal authorities
The candidate goes to Dallas tomor-
row night for a campaign address. He
did not indicate whether he would fill
the Cancelled Arizona speaking dates at
some later time.

0BRECON GROUP
TRIES TO DECIDE
UPON PRESIDENT
BY GESFORD F. FINE
United Press Staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, July 27.-Cau-
tiously the various groups of the
Cbregon party proceeded today in
an attempt to decide ON the next
president of the public-with the
left wing group determinedly de-
manding expulsion of the laborites
from the government.
President Plutarco Gales still is
the choice to succeed himself with
Governor Aaron Saenz of Nuevo
Leon the second choice. The left
wing, however, is understood to be
opposed somewhat to both men.
Recently, Soto y Cana, leader of
the radical group, demanded that
Gales expel laborites from the gov
ernment. 1t was said today that
this group had become disgusted
with Saenz, who had pledged sup
port to Gales until the September
congress settles the presidential is
sues.
Meanwhile it was said that the
possibility of Gales succeeding him
self-after being provisional presi
dent-depended mainly on whether
he could satisfy both wings of the
Obregon party.
Objections to his succession were
not considered to be legally strong
as the history Of Mexico shows tha
the which provides ;
president cannot succeed himself -
is generally changeable to suit the
will of the majority of the people.
