By
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 2,—A band of unmasked men severely flogged Joe
Westbrook, 23, last night, after kidnaping Westbrook and Lon Johnson, also
23 years old.
Two men leaped from behind a door on the second floor of a rooming
place and overpowered Westbrook and Johnson, according to Mrs. I’auline
Fox, rooming house land lady, and rushed them into an automobile where
other men were w aiting.
Out in Trinity river bottoms the
two captives were separated, accord
ing to Westbrook's story to the po
lice today. He said he believed John
son was not flogged.
Johnson’s whereabouts were un
known early today.
One of the plain clothes officers
early this morning, commenting on
his investigation into the flogging,
said that a woman informed hint
that Westbrook is charged by a wo
man with having kicked a woman
dressed in white at the state fair, Oc
tober 24.
Westbrook said: ’’They must have
got me mixed up with some one else.
They got the wrong man.
"They tore off my clothing. When
they began beating I began scream
ing. I think they used a heavy
rope.
“One of them accused me of hav
ing beaten a woman. I told them
I had not done any such thing."
"I will bend every effort and will
use every resource of the police de
partment to apprehend and convict
the floggers," Police Commissioner
Turley said today.

Fresliie.s Are Shorn;
So Are Students Who
Did Tonsorial W ork
Tucson, Arlz., Nov. 2.—More than
150 students of the University of
Arizona are wearing their hair
clipped close and they are not ah
freshmen, either. And as a result,
Dr. Clo>d Heck Marvin, president of
fhe university, says student self-gov
ernment at the university has again
proven its value.
Members of the sophomore and
junior classes were given credit for
cutting the hair of about 100 fresh
men Hallowe'en night. Freshmen
were stopped on the streets, on the
campus, interrupted in their rooms
and elsewhere and were sheared.
Yesterday morning there was a
reckoning at the university. The stu
dents’ council, a part of the self-gov
erning students body, decreed that
everyone who took part in the fresh
man barber work the night before
should have his hair cut.

Seattle, Nov. 2.—Three hundred
and seventy-six Russians, Including a
prince, doctors, lawyers and engin
eers, together with 14 persons from
Persia, Lithuania and Poland who
were refused admission to the Uni
ted States by orders received from
Washington, D. C., arrived here on
the steamship Jackson yesterday.
The refusal to admit 14 of
the passengers was due to the immi
gration quotas of the countries thiy
represented being filled. The Rus
sian quota for November was almost
filled today, falling only four under
the alloted mark.
Among the most prominent of the
Russian passengers were Iskander
Rlza-Kull-Mirza, a Persian, but for
many years a citizen of Russ.a and
an army officer; Anatole Galin, an
expert og the mineralogy of the Ural
mountains; Ivan Kolchkoff, assistant
professor of mining at the University
of Petrograd and Paul Blumenthal,
formerly a teacher at Culver mil.tary
nrademy of modern languages where
his son now holds the same position
who came here as a leader of 20 stu
dents of the Russian students union
of Shanghai. ,
