Camden Police Force Woman to
 Demonstrate Acts
DENIES KILLING CHILDREN
Gladys Parks Calmly Shows Officers Where She Buried Boy and Girl- -InsistS One Fell. Other Died After Being slapped.

Camden, x. J.. Nov. Ii P- Gladys May Parks, under arrest for murder, today was compelled by the Camden police to rc-cnact the man ncr in which she buried two chn- dren she is accused of killing.
 Surrtndering to police at Newark. \. J., early Sunday morning. Miss Parks says that one child, Dorothy Rogers. 1, died after a whipping, and that Timothy, ?. died by accident from d fall down stairs.
 Buried Both Bodies
 Frightened by death of the two children. Miss Parks says. she bur jed the bodies after sprinklinG them with lye, the girl at National park. near here, and the boy at Absccou, near Atlantic City.
 They were the children of Alan Rogers. of Woodhury. x. J.. an n- surancc broker, whose wife died a year ago leaving six children Miss Parks was a cousin of Mrs. Rogers and was given the two younger chii- dren to raise.
 Despite her assertions that the children died by accident, the au- thoritiCs believed they have found ! flaw in her confession. In both in stances when the skeletons Of the girl and boy were found the skulls were apart from the rest of the bones. The police say this indi- Catcs she had severed the heads and that proof of this will upset her claim that the children were not de- hberately slain.
 Take Woman to Spot
 Accompanied by Prosecutor Cliff ford A. Baldwin, the police took the woman from the Camden jail short ly after s a. m., today. They told her they wished her to show them exactly how she had disposed of the children. She calmly agreed to do so.
 The party first went over the route which. in her confession. sh" had described as taking in diSposing of the body of Timothy.
 In automobiles they followed the route which she said she had taken in a bus from Camden to Absecon. where Timothy'S dismembercd skeleton was found yesterday, aft CT she confessed.
 At AbseCon she pointed to q patch of woodland and said: This is the place." When the proseCu- tor and detectives got out of the automobile, she said: "Follow mo, I know where it is"
 She then walked about % feet into the woodland. She told how she had carried into this thick"t the brown suitcase in which slc had carried the boys body, the same suitcase in which she had carried the body of Dorothy to the

CAPLIN HITS
AT DEMPSEY

NEW YORK. May 2.-tR-No
kingly head Is safe in the cauli-
flower realm when the boys draw
beads and let fly their verbal
brickbats. .
Less than eighteen months ago
the fight world sang Of Jack Demp-
sey. the old man mauler. Managers
mentioned his duplicate in their
prayers.
About that time. q fight mentor
named E-ymie Caplin nurssd his
amateur charge through the ring Of
small clubs about the metropolitan
sector. He was kept busy rustling
cakes and coffee for himself and the
youngster.
Today Dempsey is Just another
fight promoter vieing with a dozen
others for the services Of Caplln's
boy. al Singer. a crack i~30-pounder.
But the triumphs OF the man maui
er's ring career so fer have not car
ried over into his dealings with
Caplin.
Dempsey thought the manager
agreed to a match for Singer with
Kid Chocolate. ebony bantamweight
pride of Cuba. under his direction.
Caplin changed his mind and signed
articles with Madison Square Gar
den. Whereupon Dempsey became
wrathy and charged Singer was
afraid of Chocolate.
Today Caplin answered his one
time idol with a levelling blast that
sounds almost like heresy to those
who still picture Dempsey as the
epic figure of the Willard. Firpo and
Carpenter dramas. Caplin's state
ment contained remarks such as
these:
i've always respected Dempsey
as a fighter. AS a promoter Of
fights and fighters I do not think
so much Of him He says things
he knows TO be untrue . 7 could
use a shorter word . Dempsey Is
absurd when he saws Singer Is

Wichita Falls took a double bill
from them Sunday. They have

the Steers had no intention Of as

Failure Of the Steer pitching staff

to be the seat OF the difficulty. 1t is
doubtful that a Texas league club
ever spent more money assembling

CPORTS


The resignation Of Bonnie Strick-
land yesterday as head coach at
Alamo Heights high school. San
Antonio throws a question mark
over District A OF the interscholastic
high school league. Just who will
take his place? Since Alamo Heights
Is In the same district as Browns
vile II likely will be that Browns
vile and the San Antonio school
will meet on the gridiron next fall.
Since the schedule has not as
yet been made out IL Is hard 20
determine who the Eagles will
meet and In what order. It Is n
cinch however that they will have
TO meet some Of the following in
stitutions for they are In the
same district: Austin High; Brock
enridge High. San Antonio; Main
Avenue High, San Antonio; Alamo
Heights, San Antonio: Harlandale
High, San Antonio; Corpus Christi
High; Laredo High and Robstown
High.
IN looking over this list we find
that there r only two schools
which will likely give Brownsville
serious trouble. One is Austin High
and the other, Main Avenue. Aus
tin will have q young team with
most OF their last year players back.
They will have q years added ex-
perience and will be dangerous.
Main Avenue. though has lost q
great number IS safely guarded by
