Their names were withheld by
police
Police Chief John Watt said the

gation and are held in the John-
ston County Jail at Tishomingo
Watt said

An alleged kidnap plot was un-
covered in the murder investigation
by R E Maxey state bureau of in-
vestigation operative and Johnston
County officials who posed as
liquor peddlers in seeking clues to
the identity of Woods slayers Watt
said ho was informed
Wootls was shot down by four
men in an auto who drove to his
home at Tecumseh
Maxey said he had learned the
men planned to kidnap Woods and
force him to pay $90000 in bonds
for his release Woods was known
to have that amount of bonds in his
possession
"Instead of going with the kid-
napers Woods reached for a re-
volver and was shot down in his
own front yard" Maxey said
Chief Watt said he was informed
the band had robbed Mr and Mrs
S N Goldman '107 NE 16th-st of
$1500 in diamonds on March 26 to
secure funds to carry through the
plot
A thorough investigation of the
kidnap plot is expected to clear up
the Goldman robbery Watt and
Chief Watt alleged both men de-
nied knowing any of the suspects
held in the slaying or of having any
connection with a kidnap plot
The two men are to be taken to
Johnston County tomorrow Watt

LIOLLYWOODo April 21—Greta
Garbo the exotic star from
Stocknolm may quit the movies
cold in June!
Reports received here today from
London said Greta would become
the bride of Wilhelm Soerensen son
of a Stockholm financier and a close
friend of Prince Sigvard of Sweden
Garbo—if she quits the films—will
be the first of the movie greats to
retire at the zenith of her power
But she is so different in everything
else that the possibility that she
may do just that has added plenty
of wrinkles to the brows of the
MGM magnates
To say that Garbo is the screen's
greatest box office attraction is
putting it mildly And if she does
quit the hunt for a successor who
can and will pull those millions
back into the movie palaces from
Gotham to Galesburg will be on
So far has the rumor gone that
La Garbo will be through soon
that gossipers already have nomi-
nated three as probable or possible
successors to the Garbo throne and
fame
MARLENE DIETRICH is the first
01 and perhaps the most seriously
considered of the three
Beautiful Marlene with her ex-
quisite underpinning has already
won a large place in moviedom Her
box office value is already great
and with proper promotion and se-
lection of plots it might become
greater
She is a versatile actress a hard
worker and is willing to do any--

various orders made by the com-
mission "They have charged we violated
an order issued in December 1930
whereas we thought that particular
order was not in force" said Murphy
shortly before the hearing
Judge Hill issued the restraining
order after Attorney General J
Berry King had filed an injunction
suit claiming the firm had overpro-
duced more than 669000 barrels of
crude oil in the city field

welcomed a hearing "in order to gel

WASHINGTON April 23—Details
of how four of America's richest
capitalists and one of the shrewdest
brokers on the New York Stock Ex-
change pooled their wealth and
brains end still lost money in a bull
market were given to the senate
banking and currency committee to-
day The combined financial resources
of John J Raskob W F Kenny
Percy Rockefeller and Fred Fisher
and the astuteness of M J Meehan
broker were unable to make money
for an Anaconda Copper pool
formed in 1929 Thomas E Bragg
told the committee investigating the
alleged bear raids on the New York
exchange
Lost $400000
"I lost about $400000" Bragg tes-
tified today and then casually add-
ed that he and some associates—
men supposedly able to shape the
market to suit their own desires—
dropped another $20000 each in a
Lima Locomotive pool
Bragg called after Rockefeller
testified concerning "terrific" mar-
ket losses appeared today after he
had been reported by subpena serv-
ers as being missing
He said the Raskob pool bought
90000 shares of Anaconda Copper
early in 1929—the height of the bull
market—at $170 a share
"The stock went down" Bragg
said "and I came bax k from Florida
and sold about 5000(1 shares I was
pool manager"
Quizzed by Couzens
Sen Couzens (it) Michigan took
over the questioning of Bragg and
became belligerent in an attempt to
"soften up" the witness Then Wil-
liam A Gray 'counsel of the com-
mittee resumed Gray began shout-
ing: "You aren't willing to tell us the
details of this are you?"
'I'm willing to tell the facts"
Sen Glass (D) Virginia inter-
rupted: "I want to protest against the
bully ragging of witnesses"
Bragg was temporarily excused
and Bernard E Smith another
Rockefeller associate testified
'Big Bear Raider'
"You are known as a big bear
raider aren't you?" Gray asked
"No one ever called me that to my
face" Smith replied
"But you are known as a big short
operator?"
"Yes sir"
Glass asked if "all this talk about
bear raids was manufactured by the
newspapers"
"I would think so" Smith said
He added W C Durant to the
Anaconda pool operator& He named
them as follows:
Percy A Rockefeller E J Fisher
Thomas E Bragg N J Meehan W
C Durant "Bill" Kenny and John
J Raskob
"Was Raskob in it" Gray asked
"I think so" Smith said adding
there were a great many others He
denied Charles Mitchell president of
the National City Bank was a mem-
ber of the pool
He said he and Rockefeller had
lost in Lima Locomotive but he told
Rockefeller "to trust to my Judg-
ment and I wou11 make it up"
"Did you make it up?" Gray
asked
"Yes sir"
Smith was excused at 1:10 and the
investigation was adjourned until

WASHINGTON April 23—A res-

heinous crime" and blaming prohi-

Bingham In a speech accompany-

"The fact that the federal and

Wentz's attorneys take the oppo-
site view believing District Judges
Sam Hooker and Lucius Babcock
nuist decide on the main issue in the
case
May Sustain Demurrer
Murray supporters contend that
the district court can evade this
issue simply by sustaining the
Thomas demurrer to the cross-petition
of Wentz in which Wentz
asked that she be barred from the
office
This they say would knock out
the present district court injunc-
tion case leaving Miss Thomas with
a restraining order against Wentz
and forcing him to bring a new Re
tion in "quo warranto" to attack het
right to the office -
Several other possibilities are open
The district court could overrule
the demurrer and grant an injunc-
tion against Wentz attempting to
hold the office This would bring
an immediate appeal from Wentz's
attorneys to the state supreme court
Appeal 1Vould Follow
It could overrule the demurrer
and grant Wentz's plea for an in-
junction or an ouster order against
Miss Thomas Attorneys said this
would bring en appeal th the su-
preme court from the Murray side
of the controversy
Some contend the demurme could
be sustained and the court still pass
either way on the direct merits of
the case involving Murray's right
to remove Wentz
Such a decision would send the
ease to supreme court from the los-
ing side for final determination
Attorney John H Miley concluded
his arguments for Wentz with a de-
mand that the district judges pass
directly on which of the two con-
tending Republicans is entitled to
the highway office
King Could Enter Case
The possibility still remains al-
though now considered remote that
Attorney General J Berry King
could enter the case on his own vo-
lition with court proceedjngs to de-
cide the dispute
Hooker and Babcock continued in
force until Monday a temporary re-
straining order for Miss Thomas to

Other Shakeups Seen as Vet
eran Educators Lose Jobs
In State
E E Brown president of the
Southwestern State Teachers Col-
lege at Weatherford was discharged
last night at a secretly called ses-
sion of the stale board of educa-
tion it was learned today
He was replaced by C W Rich-
ards former superintendent of Ard-
more city schools who was named
a few months ago as head of the
vocational rehabilitation depart-
ment at the state board
A H Abbott credited with being
the founder of the vocational re-
habilitation movement in the United
States also was discharged
Demoted Ly Murray -
Abbott had bun demoted te ft
position of supervisor by Gov W
H Murray's appointets on the state
board when Richards was ap-
pointed A fourth major change was the
discharge of S J McGinnis veteran
supervisor of trade and industrial
education in the vocational educa-
tion department
No successors were named to Ab-
bott or McGinnis at the meeting It
was reported
The state school shakeups were
seen as the opening of a campaign
of reprisals by Gov Murray who
controls the board of education
The board last week considered
ousting of Brown on the basis of
reports that he allowed members of
his faculty to attend meetings last
fall in opposition to Murray's "fire-
bells" initiative bills
Week to Clear Self
It was reported Brown WM given
