Wichita Falls, Tex., May 6.—(By the Associated Press)—J. W. Me- Cormick, chief of police here less than a month, today was the cynosure of all eyes, for yesterday he matched speed to draw with D. M, (Bud) Bal- lew, one of the few remaining typical old time peace officers of the south- west, & man with at least eight notch- es on his gun and known for his handling of a six shooter. Ballew died with his boots on, just as he repeat- edly had predicted he would. Killed Drawing Gun Ballew’s old style, single action .45 ‘was only half drawn from its holster when his body fell with five steel Jjacketed bullets fired from a newer model arm by a man trained for yeras in the Texas rangers. Ballew, until a few weeks ago a deputy sheriff of Carter county, Okla- homa, gun fighter extraordinary, and in private life a wealthy stockman came to Wichita Falls to act as judge in the annual southwestern roundup. Wanted to Shoot up Town Drinking, Ballew was seized with an uncontrollable desire to flourish his shooting irons, shouting war whoops and sending volley after volley of shots, splitting the air as fast as he could work his thumbs on the ham- mers. Chief McCormick yesterday feared such an outbreak he said. Within the past fortnight Ballew on two occa- sions had shot up small Oklahoma towns in broad daylight. Beats Him to Draw Word came to the chief that Ballew was drinking and might start trouble, The officer went to a soft drink parior, observed Ballew and, tapping him on the shoulder charged him with drunk- enness and demanded he hand over his pistol. Ballew turned half about with the remark: “Hell you're out o’ luck." The chief said the Oklahomar reached for a pistol, and, beating him to the draw, the chiel fired from the hip. Five bul- lets hit Ballew, two from behind, one of them penetrating the brain. He died instantly. Ballew was 45 years old. McCormick Former Ranger McCormick's record as an officer is something of a contrast to that of Ballew. He has small reputation as a “gun man” and this was his first “killing."” When a member of the Texas ranger force McCormick was assigned to ‘clean up"” the oil fields during their most lawless days here. He arrested many gamblers and al- leged ‘“bad men” and has a reputa- tion, he was selected as chief of police served with tMe rangers when war threatened between Texas and OKla- homa claimants to oil lands to the Red River bed over two years ago. As a result of his work in this sce- tion, he was selected as chife of police for Wichita Falls less than a month ago. Body Brought Home Ardmore, Okla, May 6.—(By the Associated Press)—Bearing five bul- let wounds, the body of Bud Ballew, who cnded a long career as a gun fighter and peace officer across the border in Texas yesterday as he fre- quently had hoped he would “with his boots on,” was home today. Ex- amination of it casually showed two bullets entered from behind, one of them penetrating the brain, and with an X-ray, it was revealed, according to Dr. Walter Hardy that two pistols of different calibre were used. Used Old Type Gun While Bud usually wore two guns strapped to him he was a one gun man. He never became accustomed to what he termed the new fangled auto- matia revolvers but depended on a single action .45 pistou. He “fanned” the hammer as he drew and discharg- ed each shot. Ballew came to the old Indian Ter- ritory as a youth in 1890. “Murdered,” Friend Says Tears welling in his eyes, Buck Garrett, former sheriff, after inspect- ing the body of his lieutenant, who several times saved his life in gun fights, declared Bud was murdered, “‘He didn't have a chance,” said Gar- rett. “Five shots and all from the back” formes Sheriff Garrett sald shaking his head. Got His Wish Garrett sald the law should be al- lowed to take its course in the case and indicated no feud would arise across the border as the result of the slaying. Ballew always told friends he wanted to ‘“pass out with his hoots on.” He declared he did not desire to die a natural death. MAYO CASE NEAR END, New York, May 6.—Both sides rest- ed today in the trial of Virginius St. Julian Mayo, former New Haven manufacturer accused of bigamy and the case will go to the jury before night FACING A NEW CRISIS Allied Delegates at Logger- heads Over How to Deal With Russians Genoa, May 6, (By Associated Press).—The most critical stage of the international conference was reached today; arising through the differences in the ranks of the allied delegates over the memorandum to Russia and through the attitude of the Russians thémselves. The chief stumbling block, it was indicated, was the clause relating to the treatment of foreign property na- tionalized by the soviet government, Russia regards the provisions of that clalse as a distinct attempt to in- fringe her sovereignty, and will not accept the plan for a mixed tribunal, which M, Tchitcherin said would mean establishment of a “flock of little reparations commissions,” to in- terfere with Russia's internal affairs, it was declared this afternoon by an official Ttalian spokesman, “This crisis,” he said, *“is more grave than the one the conference sustained after the signing of the Russo-German treaty at Rapallo on Laster Sunday.” The Russians created a distinctly bad impression at the conference at the Villa de Albertis with Sir Lam- ing Worthington-Evans and Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain yes- terday evening. They (the Russians) ask billions and billions of gold francs, and they do not ask them in the form of credits with which they can buy goods; but in cash—in gold.” Asked whether the Russian de- mands amounted to as much as three hillion gold franes, the Italian spokes- man replied: “I wish it were only a matter three billions. It is far more, more." The difficulties now confronting the conference, he continued were two fold. On the one hand, there was the difficulty of convincing the Bel- gians that they should accept the clauses of the memorandum sent to the Russians, and on the other hand there was the difficulty of getting the Russians to accept them. ‘‘But the task of convincing the Russians,” he said, “is far more difficult.” The Itallan spokesman said Rus- sia’s acceptance of the memorandum depended entirely upon whether the powers were ready to grant the loan asked by the Russian delegates. “To say there is no hope left,”” he said, “would be an exaggeration; but the difficulties are enormous. The conference {8 now going through its decisive moment.” WAR N HOOTCH Narvy Encounters 25 * Liquor of far “Dry* Laden Ships Bound From Bermuda to Canada—No Arrests Made.

Choate Crew Wins First Race Against Pomfret Boys Pomfret, Conn., May 6. — Choate school of Wallingford won the first race with Pomfret school and lost the second race this afternoon over the school rowing course here. In the first race one of the Pomfret oarsmen fainted under the excitement of a stift brush and the crew dropped out. The second race was a hard row and the boats held together until just at the finish when Pomfret, by a final spurt, won out by a fraction of a length. BOY 14, IS HELD ON AUTO THEFT CHARGE stamford Youngster, After Stealing Bicycle, Attempts to Get Away With Big Car. Stamford, May 6.—Abraham Mos- cowitz, aged 14, today was locked up on the charge of attempting to steal automobiles. The police say that yes- terday he stole a bicycle here and rode to Cos Cob, where during the night he got into the garage of Hen- ry C. Drinkwater. Then he tried to drive a large machine out of the place, but as his gears were in re- verse, he tore through a rear door, carrying away some of the wall and putting the machine out of use. Mos- cowitz then went to the Newman gar- age and started a machine without waiting to open the door. He carried the wooden door off its hinges, and when the machine was stopped by the wreckage he jumped and ran, As the Drinkwater family had been aroused by the noise in their garage an alarm was given. From the Newman gar- age the youngster was traced to the woods, and after daybreak, as he was trying to get home, the police nabbed him. According to records here Mos- cowitz was released from the Cheshire reformatory last fall. ernment With Plotting for Civil War FOREIGNERS IN PEKING TREATED COURTEOUSLY Route of Defeated Army is Fast De- veloping Into Debacle—More Am- erican Marines Are Landed As Pre- cautionary Measure and to Protect Allied Interests, Peking, May 6 (By Associated Press) Sweeping governmental changes followed today the success of Gen.

Although the char- ter states that there shall be one practical plumber, the mayor in nam- ing his new board selected only doc- tors. He explains that, in his opinion, the placing of control over matters pertaining to plumbing in the hands of the building commission makes it no longer necessary to have a plumb- er on the health board. Henry P. Davison Dies While Undergoing Operation Today BODIES WASHED ASHORE Thousands of Corpses in Russian Tlood Districts Testify to Death Toll of Winter Famine, Moscow, May 6, (By Associated Press).—Melting srows and spring floods in some of Russia's famine dis- tricts have revealed gruesome evi- dences of countless deaths hidden during the winter. At Aktubinsk, in the Kirghiz republic thousands of bodies were washed from their shal- low graves by a flood and deposited on the shore at a hairpin turn in the Elek river. The bodics were reburied but the clothing and boots of the victims still are strewn along the banks. Elsewhere in the Kirghiz steppes are lying many of those who died while desperately endeavoring to reach the points of food distribution. In this section where corn is arriving conditions are rapidly improving. Generally, according to advices to the American relief administration the areas supplied by the Americans are quickly recovering but in South Russia and the Crimea the famine is now rivatling the worst experienced in the Volga region.

A | Famous Banker Was For- mer Head of Red Cross During War. New York, May 6.—Henry P, Davi- son of J. P. Morgan and Cg., died on the operating table today. This announcement was made at 2 o'clock at the Morgan offices. Mr, Davison died about 1:30. Serious Operation The operation was for the removal of the tumor which for nearly two years has been pressing against his brain and causing headaches and sleeplessness. Specialists made an attempt to re- move the tumor August 12, but the flow of blood and the unusually long time which Mr. Davison was under anaesthetics prevented them from do- ing more than relieving the pressure somewhat. The decision to operate again today, it was announced at the office of the J. P. Morgan & Co., was the result of “unexpected develop- nients” in Mr. Davison's condition. Recently Returned. The effects of the tumor have kept Mr. Davison virtually away from ac- tive participation in business since the war. He was hopeful that after the operation last August he would be able within a few months to take part in the affairs of the firm.

Frank made four trips from the house to the store and on the last round, Sergeant Hart accosted him. He admitted that a bundle he was earry- ing contained beer. He told the ser- geant that he was going to the store. The police accompanied him and learned that the stuff was being offer- ed for sale at 10 cents a bottle.
