Elephant Captured
After Escape From
Circus In Kansas
OTTAWA, Kan., Dec. 14 (API-
After roaming through four coun
ties in southeastern Kansas for
three days, Diamond, a circus ele
phant, was captured by his trainer
late today 18 miles southeast of
Garnett.
The trainer and assistants, with
horses from the winter quarters of
a circus at Quenemo, from which
the pachyderm escaped last Satur
day, overtook Diamond and sub
dued him with great difficulty.
Diamond recognized the horses
and permitted them to approach.
Then ropes were fastened about
him and he was led back toward
the winter quarters.
In his self-conducted winter ex
pedition over the countryside, the
elephant smashed fences and out
buildings and stepped on a pig. Ap
pearing in a school yard Monday
at Garnett the elephant terrorized
school children before he was driv
en away.
The trail of property damage,
however, was not great and Dia
mond injured none of the hundreds
of farmers who chased him, firing
with shotguns and small calibre
rifles. The bullets made little im
pression on Diamond’s hide.

Interior Budget
Passage Blocked
In House Wrangle
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (AP—
five hours of discussion produced
only a few changes in the interior
department appropriation hill to
day but blocked House leaders’
plan ; for passage of the measure
before adjournment.
The session closed in the mirdst
of an argument over a provision
authorizing operation of steamship
lines in connection with the Alas
ka railroad, Representative Tread
way, Republican, Massachusetts,
who made a point of order against
the clause, contending it consti
tuted legislation which had no
place in an appropriation hill.
After Representative Cramton,
Republican, Michigan, in charge of
the bill, argued that inclusion of
the provision was justified under
the broad language of the act, cre
ating the railroad, the chair took
the subject under advisement for
decision tomorrow.
Before adjournment the House
refused to accept an amendment to
make mandatory upon the interior
secretary construction of the Bak
er reclamation project in Oregon,
for which $450,000 was provided in
the hill. Secretary Work, who has
refused to declare the project feas
ible, had requested that congress
assume that responsibility.
In opposing the amendment by
Representative Bankhead, Demo
crat. Alabama, Mr. Cramton suc
cessfully argued that the appro
priation itself commended the sec
retary to begin construction,
whether he approved or not.
Another change in the hill, which
knocked out a provision to fix
charge of $2 for each automobile
traversing national parks was forc
ed out on a point of order by Rep
resentative Byrnes, Democrat, of
Tennessee. Declaring he was in
favor of an even higher levy, he
contended the provision was legis
lative and improper in a supply
bill.

Senator Lise?
~c&ack On
Committee Posts
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (AP)
The well laid plans of Republican
leaders to bring Senator Frazier,
the North Dakota insurgent, back
into the party fold have gone
slightly awry because lie was not
given his former rank on all •com
mittees.
Frazier's disappointment over
his committee assignments has
disturbed those who were instru
mental in getting the Republican
conference to vote, unanimously to-,
day t.o welcome him back into tlie
councils from which lie eject
ed two years ago because he sup
ported Robert M. LaFplette for
president.
Snator Frazier declared he had
bene led to believe that he had
been so placed on only one, In
dian affairs, and left low down on
the list of others. He made the
discovery late today but declined
to say what he would do about it.
“I guess it is all right if they
want to do that way,’ ’he a.dded.
“It is all their doing anyway. I
haven’t asked them for anything.”
Mr. Frazier expressed pleasure
over the prospects of becoming
chairman of the Indian affairs
committee after March 4 when
Chairman Harreld retires.
He said that* he had never at
tended hut one Republican confer
ence and did not believe he would
participate in any more, although
by the action of the conference to
day he will be invited to future
party meetings.
It developed today also that Sen
ator Shipstead, farmer-labor, Min
nesota, had ben approached to
learn if he desired to attend Re
publican conferences. He is re
ported to have replied that he
would let the Republicans know
“later.”

BASEBALL CLUB MANAGERS OPEN
NEGOTIATIONS FOR EXCHANGES OF
PLAYERS AT CHICAGO MEETING
CHICAGO, Dec. 14, Visiting
baseball owners with likely per
formers around second base were
quickly drawn into negotiations by
Ray Sc-halk, new manager of the
Chicago White Sox here today. A
successor to Eddie Collins is bad
ly needed, and Schalk asked for
terms on Marty McManus of the St.
Louis Browns, Frank O’Rourke of
Detroit, and Aaron Ward of the
New York Yankees. The Ward
proposition has been under con
sideration for some time, with the
Yankees understood to be hold
ing out for one of the Sox’s best
pitchers.
The deal for purchase of the
Columbus American association
club i*;-■ the Cincinnati Reds, for a
’•player farm” is also undergoing
ftna 1 negotiations, between Thomas
E. Wilson, Chicago packer who
owns the club, Garry Herrman,
president of the Reds, and Joe Carr,
president of the Columbus club.
With the Landis vote disposed of,
the American league officials had
only a revision of their constitu
tion left to debate. President
Johnson’s term was extended last
year, so the directors, chosen in
rotation, are the only officers to
elect.
Schalk After Peckinpaugh
Schalk also made an offer for
Roger Peckinpaugh of the Wash
ington club, the fourth big league
infielder he is willing to buy for
Collins’ place.
Eddie Collins had not arrived at
the gathering tonight, and it was
said that lie did not expect to come.
Asked if he had signed Collins for
the Athletics, Connie Mack said:
“The only new player I have
added is Outfielder Wilson of the
Waco club, of the Texas league.
I have nothing to say about a deal
with Collins.”
Another rumor had Collins sign
ed to manage the Columbus club
of the America nasociation, but
it remained unconfirmed.
George Moriarity, new manager
of the Tigers, said he had not de
cided whether to sell, or trade
O’Rourke, in response to the White
Sox ol'ffer and indicated that was
the only deal-he had had in pros
pect now.

CAP) —With a coroner’s jury find
ing that Mrs. Cornelia Murphy,
thirty-day bride of Lee Daniel Mur
phy, came to her death from injur
ies inflicted by her husband and
ordering “that if apprehended, he
be dealt with according to law,”
police today redoubled their efforts
to locate the missing husband.
Mrs. Murphy died Saturday
morning. In a statement to police,
she accused her husband of heat
ing her with a heavy belt, and
striking her with a bottle.
Search for Murphy today turned
to Yuma, Ariz., when a machine
occupied by a man and woman, the
former answering Murphy’s de
scription, was reported to have
passed through Banning, Cal. In
formation received by police here
was that the couple had stopped
in the Imperial valley to purchase
supplies and left in the direction
of the Arizona city. Yuma police
have been asked to locate the pair.
