Newspaper dispatches frorr Guana

last night while federal troops were
battling with their kidnapers.
The band of 25 or 30 men which
took the two Americans from their
quarters at the Bustos mines Thurs
day night were said by the corre
spondent of El Universal to have
been overtaken by military police
Friday evening. A battle followed
in which five of the bandits were
killed as well as an alleged Cath
olic priest named Lozano said to
have accompanied them.
The military police commander.
Major Araujo, was quoted as re
porting that in pursuit of the band
its after their dispersal the troops
came on the bodies of the engineers
near where the conflict took place.
1’heir bodies bore wounds indicat
ing that they had been stabbed to
death.
The bandits leader was said to
be a former miner named Padron.
who on several other occasions has
extorted money from American min
ing companies in that region by
similar tactics. The kidnapers de
stroyed telephone instruments in
the raided mining camp, twenty
miles from Guanajuato.
The bandits demanded a ransom
of $7,500.
Although first newspaper dis
patches telling of the kidnaping of
the Americans were received more
than 24 hours ago. the United
States embaasay tonight was with
out official confirmation of either
the kidnaping or the killings. Mexi

investigate the matter.
Reports were that the Americans

—The discovery of an unidentified
woman shot, beaten to death and
then saturated with gasoline and
set afire in the snow beside a lone
ly road today started New Jersey
police on their second hunt in a
year for a “torch murderer.'* •
Their only clues were dental
bridge work in the dead woman’s
upper jaw. some jewelry, clothing
and a fleeting glimpse of an auto
mobile which the driver of a bak
ery truck obtained as he sped by.
A blue automobile was the sole
clue police had early In their in
vestigation of the similarly strange
death of Miss Margaret Brown, a
New’ York governess. She was
found not far from here a year
and three days ago. in an isolated
wood in an adjoining county.
The unidentified woman was
dead when her blaring body was
discovered by John Boyle, a driver
for the Ward Baking company.
The woman was about 45 years
old, she was 5 feet 5 1-2 inches tall
and weighed 155 pounds. Her hair
was blonde, mixed with gray, and
she had blue eyes.

revision in the method of handling
federal patronage during the Hoov
er administration was predicted to

lican. Iowa, after a conference with
the president-elect.

committee investigating patronage
in southern states, called on Mr.

scheme of patronage is over for
ever. I am convinced that the Hoov

this respect as it will be In all oth
ers.”
Brookhart spent more than an
hour with the president-elect. He
thought that the situation in the

motion to cut off further amend
ments and debate until late in the
day.
He did succeed in preventing
adoption of an amendment offereu
by Cousins which would have forced
concentration on one or more of tne
present properties m Fort Bend,
Harris and Brazoria counties
lands contiguous.
The amendment was similar in
effect to the bill engrossed by the
house but displaced m the senate by
the governors measure. The orig
inal Dili would have concentrated on
the seven farms below Houston.
An amendment by McFarlane
which in effect substituted his orig
inal bid also was tabled. McFar
lane's proposal was for more of a
reorganization than centralization.
It would have provided for sale of
only three of the North farms.
Argue Over Exemptions
Most of the argument involved
the desirability of allowing certain
senators to say that the prison
should not be located in their dis
tricts.
The districts of Wire of Seguin
and Williamson of San Antonio
were eliminated last night. Those
of Miller of Weatherford and Mar
tin of Hillsboro were eliminated
early today. The storm of protest
which -had been gathering, broke
after Russek of Schulenbur? re
quested the same privilege.
Love argued that the amend
ments exempting certain counties
from the provisions of the bill
would make it unconstitutional.
Wirt2 and Hornsby took the oppo
site view.
"If these sections should be un
constitutional what are you kicking
about?” Wirtz asked Love. "The
other parts of the bill will stand
and you will accomplish your pur
pose.”
Many Contests Barred
Hornsby predicted that the bill
would go to free conference com
mittee and that if the provisions
should be found unconstitutional
that committee could strike them
out.
Stevenson defended his position
in voting for the eliminations, say
j ing he was convinced that the five
; districts "were no place for a pri
I son location.”
Woodward declared it "unfair”
for some of the districts to be elim
; lnated. "It is the shite's duty to
care for these unfortunates and
; every district should bear an equal
i share of the burden.” he contended.
Holbrook sent up an amendment
which would have exemrrted Fort
; Bend and Brazoria counties, where
i several of the farms are now lo
cated. but withdrew ft later.
