The Pensacola Journal became a daily in 1898. With competition from other Pensacola papers, the Journal's coverage included a large part of Florida. In 1922, the Pensacola Journal was purchased by John H. Perry, who in 1924 also acquired the newspaper's main rival, the Pensacola Evening News. For the next six decades, the Pensacola Journal continued to appear mornings and the Pensacola News evenings. Both newspapers remained extremely competitive.

THE HARDING Memorial Week
is drawing to a close. President
Harding was a good American, did
his best, and died in the service of
the people. Millions of Americans

WISE PEOPLE, however, say
this: The President declares against
the bonus, thus pleasing “the big

ciections. :

The Republican majority will
pass the bill over the President's
veto. Then the “big fellows” will
say: “Coolidge did his best.”

Little gentlemen on the stump
will'say to the crowd: “That's the
republican party that gave you boys
the bonus.” ‘That isn’t a bad ar-
rangement, politically speaking.

ANARCHISTS have threatened

THAT DOESN'T MEAN neces-

FUGITIVE NEGRO KILLS

SAENGER WILL
[LD MODERN

City Approves Plans
For New Palafox
Building.

Saenger will erect a new
theatre in Pensacola. This
was announced yesterday
by E. M. Clark, secretary of
the Saenger Amusement
Company, when he arrived
from New Orleans with
complete plans and specifi-
cations.

Contract for the theatre will be
let by Jan. 15 and the houses be
eomplete and ready for opening by
Oct, 15. The building will have a
frontage on Palafox street, an ars
cade leading back to the theatre
proper.

City Approves Plans.

Yesterday the plans were ap-
proved by the city engineer and
building inspector and this morn-
ing they will be examined by Wal-
ker Willis, local member of the
state board of architects. When he
has approved them the plans will
be submitted to contractors for bids.

With Mr. Clark is H. A. Benson,
representing Emile Weil, of New
Orleans, architect who designed the
building. ‘he auditorium floor
covers an area of 85 by 100 feet.
There will be a clear span and no
columns will obstruct the view of
anyone. Two mezzanine floors with
rast rooms, lounging and smoking
rooms, toilets and other conven-
jences are all called for in the plans,
giving to Pensacola; the last word
in theatre comfort. In addition to
the mezzanine floor there will be
one balcony, the entire seating ca-
pacity being 2,000. . :

Confidence in City.
The stage will be on a parity with

equipment capable of handling any
of the shows that are coming into
the South. The dressing room sec-
tion will be three stories, providing
15 rooms, and in the basement the
dressing room for the chorus is
provided.

No finer lighting system In the
country can be found than the one
for Pensacola, sald Mr. Benson. The
effects will be developed from the
switchboard by the use of an inven-
tion recently perfected.

“We are building this beautiful
new theatre because we have con-

‘Iidence in Pensacola’s growth,” said

Mr. Clark. “We are going to build
a much finer house th Is usually
found in a city of this size, but we
have an abiding faith in the future
of Pensacola and are not only keep-
ing faith with the Pensacola peo-
ple, whom we promised to give a
theatres, but are planning for the
future, which we consider certain.
Sets Pace For City.
“Johnnie Jones has been coming
to New Orleans and writing to us
about the Satsuma orange groves,
the paved country roads and the
new Escambia bridge, all of which
are certain to play a big part in the
development of the city. Our or-
ganization proposes to keep pace
with whatever Pensacola does, and
in this new theatre we propose to
set the pace.” :

Flyers Killed in
Air Bomb Practice

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 14. —Lieut.
Earl D. Willis, and Private de Ain-
and, an enlisted mechanic, were in-
stantly killed today when their
plane crashed to the ground during
a bombing practice, and due to the
roughness of the bombing range, no
rescue planes could land near the
plane of Lieut. Willis, which burst
into flames when it crashed.

Half Holiday For
Postal Carriers

Packages or letters that fail to
reach the Pensacola postoffice be-
fore Christmas morning will not be
delivered that day, it was an-
nounced yesterday by R. A. Baker,
assistant Postmaster. An order has
been received from Postmaster Gen-
eral New releasing all carriers from
duty at noon Christmas day. This
gives Uncle Sam's postal workers a
chance to spend at least a part of
the day at home with their families.

CHURCH COUNCIL
FAVORS LEAGUE

Urges United States to Enter
or Propose Some Effec-
tive Substitute..

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 14. —The
executive committee of the federal
council of churches today urged
that the United States either enter
the league of nations or propose
“some mors effective substitute.”

The recommendation was made in
a “declaration of ideals and prin-
ciples”, adopted by the committee
at its annual meeting after a day
of discussion of international af-
fairs. Originally the declaraton
had urged that only the United
States become a member of the
world court under the terms stated
by the late President Harding and
cooperate in an efficient interna-
tional organization “to establish
world justice,” but the league of
nations was given specific mention
in an amendment submitted from
the floor by Dr. Willlam Adams
Brown, of the Union Theological
Seminary, New York. "The amend-
ment was accepted without dissent.

In a resolution, adopted previ-
ously, the committee had expressed
its thanks to President Colidge for
his. advocacy of entrance in the
world court, in his message to con-
gress. The resolution alse urged
that the senate take speedy and
favorable action on the president's
recommendation. Gn

An “American creed” embodying
a statement on law enforcement
was contained in a resolution in
which church members were urged
to aid in the enforcement of pro-
hibition.

Suggestion that the creed be ap-
proved by congress and committed
to memory and recited In the
schools and on patriotic occasions,
was made.

PROMINENT ACTOR
SWALLOWS POISON

“Cursed by Dual
Once Promising Actor
Tries to End Life.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Asserting
in a note that he had been ‘cursed
by a dual nature,” Francis Lieb,
once a promising Chicago actor, to-
day smallowed poison in the bowery
Y. M. C. A. He was taken to a hos-
pital in a serious condition.

Lieb’'s former successes were
“The Hotel Mouse,” “Floradora,”
“The Man Who Owns Broadway”
and “Ernani” He was leading bari-
tone in the last named.

In a note left to his wife, he sald:

“It is useless. I am too old to try
anything now. I have tried to get
away from New York so you would
be free to act as you please, but
wherever I have been they wanted
a special fee, which 1 haven't got. I
suppose people think me only a
weak clot. But all my life I have
been different from others; cursed
by a dual nature.”

Democrats and Insur-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—A row
over the make up of the committee
which directs the legislative pro-
gram prevented house ratification
today of the personnel of its stand-
ing committees. = At the same time,
another effort to break the senate
deadlock over the election of a
chairman of the Interstate Com-
merce Committee failed and the sit-
uation there apparently was exact-
lv where it was when the senate
quit balloting last Wednesday.

. Opposition by both republican in-
surgents and democrats of the
house to the plan of republican or-
ganization leaders to have eight of
their number on the rules committee
developed to such extent that it was
decided not to present the committee
list to the house for approval as
had been planned whether there is
to be any change in the fixed ratio
of eight majority and four minority
members will be discussed at a re-
publican conference called for to-
IMOorrow. The demuvecrats will hold
a caucus Monday to consider the
question.

Meantime, action on the commit-
tee personnel by the house has def-
initely been deferred until next
week. This will delay organization
of the ways and means committee
which had planned to begin consid-
eration of tax reduction legislation
next Monday. Representative Green
of Iowa, who has been selected as
chairman, will call the members to-
gether as soon as the house has
disposed of the committee question.

Although there appeared for a
time today a possibility of breaking
the senate deadlock when balloting
is resumed Monday this virtually
was dissipated -by a formal an-
nouncement on: behalf of the group
of seven who have been supporting

Determined Attack
On Poincare Policy

PARIS, Dec. 14—(By Associate
Press).—A determined attack
Premier Poincare’s policies was
made in the chamber of deputies to-
day when M. Mandel, a member of
the Clemenceau group, attempted to
force the premier into making a

-I declaration concerning internal pol-

{tics as a guide to the senatorial
elections to be held early in Janu-
ary.

The interpellation of the deputy
suffered the fate of all the others
during the past two years. M. Poin-
care refused even to promise that
he would make a declaration prior
to the recess of parliament which,
incidentally, was officially fixed for
Dec. 31. He insisted that internal
politics should not coms up for dis-
cussion before interpellations on the
government's foreign policy had
been answered. The chamber up-
held the premier by a show of

hands.

0 TRACE FOUND
OF LOST AVIATOR

Unable to Discover Body of
Lawrence Sperry, who
Dropped in Channel

LONDON, Dec. 14—(By A. P.)—
Up to late tonight no trace had
been found of Lawrence B. Sperry,
the American aviator, whose small
airplane was found in the English
Channel yesterdsy, three miles off
Rye. .

P. RB. Jackson, London manager
of the Sperry Company, returned
tonight from Rye, where he had
gone when word reached him that
the aviator was missing, reporting
that an all day search had failed to
find the body and that the search-
ing parties had abandoned their at-
tempts. The plane, which had
been towed into Rye, is believed by
Mr. Jackson to be in a flyable con-
dition. :

A life boat reached the plane an
hour and a half after the accident
and made a search of the vicinity,
but there was no trace of the avi-
ator. ?

Mr. Jackson is inclined to the
belief that Sperry, after his plane
landed on the water, tried to swim
around to the tail, but became 80
numbed with the cold water that
he was unable to climb up or hold
on.

Home Is Damaged
By Fire; Bad Flue

Tire that broke out last night on
the roof of the home of Charles
Wilson, 15th avenue and 16th street,
badly damaged the house before the
fire department could be summon-

was the cause of the fire. The
fire was extinguished, however, a
few minutes after arrival of the
trucks. :

The roof of the house occupled
by Maud Maxwell, 13 North Tare
ragona street, was slightly dam-
aged last night about 8 o'clock.
Defective flue was given as the
cause of the fire.

BOOTLEG PLOT

Promised Protection
and Prosecution of
Competitors.

TOLEDO, O. Dec. 14—Mayor
Adolph Unger, of Tiffin, Ohio, and
24 other residents of Tiffin were in-
dicted by the federal grand jury to-
day on the charge of conspiracy to
violate the national dry law. The
indictment recites a list of 42 al-
leged overt acts. ‘There are three
counts to the indictment, charging
conspiracy to violate the prohibition
act, possession of liquor and the
selling of liquor.

Unger, Eugene Grimes and
Charles Bare are charged with hav-
ing formed a “partnership” at Un-
ger's suggestion, to “go into the
bootlegging business” and Unger is
said to have promised to protect the
business of the partnership by
prosecuting competing bootleggers.

He also is sald to have told his
partners that if they were arrested
he would impose fines which they
would not have to pay.

In the beginning of the partner-
ship liquorr is said to have been re-
ceived from Toledo, but later the
men induced others to make moon-
shine for their use, it is charged.

The others named ‘in the:indict-
ment include some who appeared
against Unger at a former investi-
gation by a federal grand jury.

Some of those named in the in-
dictment were customers of the al-
leged combination.

Judge Advocate Of
Whipping Post For
Beaters of Wives

NEW YORK, Dec. 14. ~The
whipping post or branding irons
for wife beaters was advocated
today by Magistrate McAndrews
in imposing a sentence of 60
days in the work house on Hy-
man Levine, for beating his
wife.

“If I had my way,” he said,
“I would have you tied to a
whipping post in the middle of
the street while half a dozen
strong men lashed your back, or
else IT would have you branded
so that all decent men who met
vou on the street would shun’
you."

Christmas Spirit Awakens

Response To

Doll and Toy

Fund; Planning Good Show

AS THE Christmas shoppers are
getting the Christmas spirit
they are beginning to respond to
the appeal for funds for the
Journal's St. Nicholas Girl doll
and toy fund.

“A Friend of the Kiddies” sent
in $5, and Mrs. Ada White Nichol-
son, who was the St. Nicholas
Girl when the work was first
begun in Pensacola, but now lives
in New York, has three children.
Edward, Howard, Jean, and each
one sends in $5. Mrs. Nicholson
knows how happy it made the
children each Christmas morning
when they got their dolls and
toys and when Christmas time
comes she always is among the
first to send in her conrtibution.

Other contributions yesterday
were:

Oranges from Parlor Market.

Candy from Lewis-Bear Co.

Toys from Pensacola Crockery
Co.

Tom Kenunedy always provides
the Christmas tree that is erected
in Mallory Court, and this year
he will also attend to this im-
portant part of the work. The
gifts are distributed Christmas
morning from the city hall, but
the Christmas tree is placed in
Mallory Court as a reminder of
the event. The Pensacola Hlec-
tric Company again promises to
wire and light the tree.

Sidney Levy, the good fellow
who always is eager to do some-
thing in a community way, was
among the first to offer his serv-

ices to the St. Nicholas Girl

He has arranged for a concert
in Mallory Court for the after-
noon of Sunday, Dec. 23. Fine
music and other clean, wholesome
entertainment will be offered, and
at the close of the pregram young
ladies will pass through the wudi-
ence and take a free will offer-
ing. Mr. Levy thinks that every-
one will want to have a part in
providing Santa Claus for the
children and that this will give
them an opportunity.

Mr. Levy has secured what he
believes to be the best talent in
Pensacola for the concert, both
from amateurs and professionals,
He yesterday received the follow-
ing letter from Bill Thebus, of the
Bill-Bess Comedies:

“Referring to our conversation
this morning in reference to my
supplying talent for a benefit per-
formance for the poor kiddies of
Pensacola, formulated by the StL
Nicholas Girl. 1 wish to say that
I shall be more than happy to
do anything in my power to help
you out. Anything that the Bil-
Bess Comedy Players have Is yours
for the asking. This includes the
tent, although you state you want
to give this performance ian tho
open. 1 shall furnish you with
five good strong acts of vaude-
ville, as well as my orchestra. As
I understand it, this performance
is, to take place Sunday afternoon
December 23rd. Please don't hesi-
tate to call upon me for any ¢o-
operation to make this affair a
big success. Let's give the Kiddies
a nice send off.”

DREW, Miss, Dec. 14. —Thres
men were shot to death and eight
were wounded-—two of them seri-

amuck with a pistol and shot gun,
after fatally wounding W. T. Sand-
ers, a planter, and battled with
posses which drove him through a
cané® brake for several miles and
into a drainage ditch east .of Drew
where he still held fort tonight.

Tonight a posse of approximately
1,000 men had joined in the pursuit
and plans were under way to pump
500 gallons of gasoline into the
ditch where Pullen iz believed to
have taken refuge and set fire to
it in an effort to drive him from
his place of concealment.

In addition to Sanders, the two
men listed as dead are R. L. Meth-
vin, B56, and a man named Hess.
Both were members of the posse
which took up the pursuit shortly
after Sanders was shot to death
when he went to the negro's cabin
to arrange a business settlement,

GREENWOOD, Miss, Dec, 14.
Two dead and four wounded were
the known casualties tonight in a
man hunt which began today when
Joe Pullens, negro tenant farmer,
shot and killed W. T. Sanders,
planter, and escaped to a cane
brake near Drew, 25 miles north of
Greenwood, armed with a pistol and
shot gun and kept up'a running

business settlement, and R. L.
Methevin was shot to death as he
approached a ditch in which Pule
len had taken refuge.

The wounded are A. L. Manning,
C. A. Himmond, Kenneth Black-
more and Luther Hughes. Manning

killed. © The others were possemen
who were felled in encounter with
the fugitive.

One report tonight was that two
of the wounded had died of their
injuries. Pullen also is reported
wounded, ia

According to reports from Drew,
the negro, after killing Sanders, and
wounding Manning with a pistol,

‘1 went to his cabin and obtained a

shot gun and supply of ammunition.
He then made for the cane brake.

Hughes, Hammond and Methevin
were the first of the possemen to
fall before the negro’s fire. said

Late reports from Drew stated
that Pullen had been located late
this evening hidden in a slough
three miles from the scene of the
first killing.

Man Plunges From
Hotel to His Death

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec, 14.
As scores of homeward bound shop-
pers and workers watched in horror,
Charles W. Nevin II, member of a
socially prominent Philadelphia
family, plunged to his death tonight
from a window on the ninth floor
of the St. James Hotel. His body
crashed through the heavy glass of
the porte cochere at the entrance
and dropped at the feet of several
guests on the hotel steps. He died
instantly. fo

Police arrested Frank P. Nich~
olson of Brooklyn, N. ¥Y., on a
charge of manslaughter, and Wil-
liam F. Fotterall, Jr., of Port Ken»
nedy, Pa. as a material witness and
accessory. JER

Detectives belleve Nevin was
pushed through the window, but
whether deliberately or accidentally
they were not able to say. W. J.
Harold, house detective at the St.
James, declared the three young
men had been drinking in a nearby
saloon in the afternoon. :

Fotterall said Nevin's death was
an accident. rae

“l was lying on a bed sound
asleep,” he said, “when I was awake»
ened by Nicholson, who was in an
adjoining bed. Nicholson jumped up,
looked at the open window and then
cried in an excited voice, ‘My God,
that man has gone. He must have
fallen from the window’.”

hioina, recently deposed in impeachs
ment proceedings before the Okla-

thie impeachment trial before the

it became known today.

_ While details of the steps which

It was learned, however, that
Judge Riddle had expressed the be-
lief that the rights of his client had
been abridged and he felt that it
would be possible to get the case
before the supreme court under the
fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution.

The plan whieh was considered,
and to which the New York lawyers
lean, it was understood, will be to
seek 4 review of the judgement of
removal from office by a writ of
error. Judge Riddle, it was stated,
reported that he had information
that a majority of both the house

they entered into a conspiracy be-

of removing Gov. Walton bécause of

quaint and dainty,

Here are three such tiny dresses
with side sashes of ribbon and pret-
iy touches of hand embroidery for
decoration. The model with the lit-
tle pointed collar, bloused bodicas,
and peasant sleeves, shows how at-
tractively women's styles may in-
fluence the mode for children.

The Reason the Focciing Stranger
Doubly Perplexed Madge.

That the people who had just en-
tered the Kasthampton shop were
important, at least in the eyes of
the owners and salespeople, was
very patent. And it was also clear
that in the eyes of the entering
grupe, the foremost figure, that of
the man I had recognized, was .one
to whom all deference was due.

Marion came back to me, excite-
ment in her eyes.

“Oh! Auntie Madge!” she whis-
pered. “Do see the stunning-look-
ing man! He looks like a king or
something in that cloak.’ ?

I looked through the rack of
draperies behind which I was stand-
ing at the man she had designated,
and acknowledged the truth of her
comment, He did indeed deserve
the adjective so often misapplied
even when used in connection with
the men who are born to it. And
every detail of his appearance was
exactly the same as it had been
when upon the train. stalled under
the East river he had introduced
himself to me, saving that he was
an old associate of my father from
South America.

Who Is He?

The hours had heen so strenu-
ously filled since my father's re-
turn that never had I had the
time or opportunity to tell him of
that odd meeting, and the bizarre
of the man whose appearance and
actions, and slight slips of speech,
had made me believe he was some
one I had once known and was not
the distinguished stranger he ap-
peared to be.

I summoned my memory to my
aid, mentally jotted down for ref-
erence the unusual height and
breadth of shoulders of the man
receiving the adulation—it was the
only word—of the people around
him. I also noted the incongruity
of his ruddy color, his firmness of
flesh, his appearance of middle-
aged muscular strength as con-
trasted with his abundant snow-
white hair, brushed into a military
his white, carefully-

beard.

He wore the same military cape-
top coat as when I had first seen

him, and with careful punctilious-
ness carried his hatin his hand as
he talked to tire ultra-fashionable
women and the pompous man who
accompanied him, and who had the
appearance of being possessed of
unlimited means, but exceedingly
circumscribed intelligence. And |
over his eyes were the same thick-
lensed glasses.

I waited tensely for the first
speech from his lips. And when he
did speak I found that accents and
inflections were exactly as they had
sounded in the train, Either I had
been mistaken, and he really was as
foreign as he looked, or else he was
a past master of the art of keeping
up his disguise.

“If you will give me the gr-great
pleasure of looking at some—what
do you call them in English-—oh!
ves, the handkerchiefs.”

“Of course, Don Ramon,” the
younger woman of the party said
gushingly, “You will not find any-
thing like your own exquisite be-
longings here. But it is the best
place around, in fact, the only
place, since that shop at Southamp-
ton did not have what you wished.”

“Oh! but those things in that
other shop were . im-poss-i-ble,”
He drawled the syllables fascinai-
ingly. “Ah!—these are much bet-
ter. Will you give me two dozen?”

He put his hand to his breast
pocket, brought it back empty,
laughed lightly.

“I am the most forgetful person,”
he said. “I have left my bill-book
in my room. I am sorry to have
given you the trouble of showing
them. The next timelI come I
will—"

There were impassioned protests
before the words had left his
mouth,

“That will not be necessary,” the
suave proprietor of the shop said.”

“Ramon Almirez,” supplied the
younger woman with a languishing
glance toward the picturesque fig-
ure of the foreigner.

“Don Almirez open an account
with wus.”

“Ha! Ha! That is very good,”
' Don Ramon appeared vastly amused.
“I did not expect to open an ac-
count, as you say, when I left home
today.” He swept a courtly bow
to the two women. “I shall be
very glad to accept your courtesy,”
nodding affably to the shopkeeper.

“Is there not something else we
can show you?” the preprietor
asked. “Some shirts—"

Don Ramon lifted his shoulders in
a graceful shrug.

“My shirts are all custom made,
my good man,” he said loftily. “But
—I do not know—some of them are
getting worn, and my tallor is in
London. Il.et me look at some of
them.”

“Fiddlesticks!” My mother-in-
law, who lorgnette to her eves had
been watching the little by-play,
lowered it and spoke in a low
tone to the quiet saleswoman be-
hind the counter who had paid no
attention to the scene in the front
of the store. “That chap’s just a

JOURNAL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1928 °,

MEXICO SEETHING
WITH REVOLUTION,
CLASH IMMINENT

Obregon Forces Abandon San
Marcos, Important Rail-
way Junction.

From Sonora, in the extreme
northwest of the Mexicon repub-
lic, to the territory of Quintana
Roo, at the othe rextreme end at
the southeast, revolts against the
government of President Obregon

are declared to be in progress in
various states. At several points,
the reports say, decisive battles are
to be expected at any time. As
yet, however, no sanguinary fights
appear to have taken place.

From meagre reports coming
through from Mexico City, the
government evidently is not taking
the movement of the rebels, which
has as its leader Adolfo De La
Huerta, former secretary of the
treasury and a candidate for the
presidency of the republic, as an
uprising that will have successful
results. President Obregon himself
has declared that the revolt will be
short lived.

At last accounts the revolution-

ists in three columns were keeping |

up their advance, which started at
Vera Cruz with Mexico City as its
chief objective. To the northwest
of the capital the rebels are report-
ed to have taken the town of Ce-
laya, where President Obregon's
summer home is situated. Govern-
ment advices reaching the Arizona
frontier say the Obregon forces in
Jalisco are hot on the heels of the
rebels driven from Tepic, and that
a fight is imminent. Government
reports also say the west coast of
the republic, with the exception of
Manzanillo ,is being controlled by
the federal authorities.

President Obregon personally is
directing the federal trops march-
ing on Guadalajara in the state of
Jalisco. In the northern part of
this state, according to govern-
ment advices, the rebels have been
defeated and the ~ehel Generals
Fermin Carpio, Mario Carpio and
Magana killed.

The possibility of a naval engage-
ment between the gunboats Bravo
and Zaragossa would seem indicat-
ed by a report that naval officers
were on their way to New Orleans,
where the Bravo has been in dry
dock, to take the vessel across the
Gulf of Mexico to Vera Cruz, and
give battle to the Zaragossa, which
is in the hands of the rebels. The
commander of the Bravo, however,
is quoted as saying that the vessel
will not be able to leave New Or-
leans for at least a month.

JUAREZ, Mex, Dec. 14.—Zacate-
cas is again controlled by federal
forces, according to a telegram re-
ceived at Juarez military headquar-
ters from Gen. J. G. Escobar, for-
mer Juarez garrison commander and
now chief of the La Guana district.

Abandon San Marcos.

VERA CRUZ, Dec. 14—The Ob-
regon forces have abandoned San
Marcos, an important railway junc-
tion about 70 miles east of Mexico
City, where it had been believed
they would offer battle to the revo-
lutionists, according to the revolu-
tionary headguarters here. They re-
treated to Apizaco.

Clash Imminent.

NOGALES, Ariz, Dec. 14 —Gov-
ernment forces in hot pursuit of the
rebel army which was driven yes-
terday from Tepic, capital of Nay-
arit, have penetrated Jalisco and are
nearing a stronghold set up by the
revolutionists, it was reported in of-
ficial advices received here tonight.
A clash is imminent, according to
the advices,

Represents Huerta.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Announc-
ing himself as the representative of
Adolfo De La Huerta, who is lead-
ing the rebellion against President
Obregon of Mexico, Senor Martin
Louis Guzman tonight revealed his
presence in New York. He is chair=
man of the committee on foreign
affairs of the chamber of deputies.

He said he had been in New York
three days composing his nerves
which were upset in a narrow es-
cape from Obregon’s soldiers at the
border. He escaped with the aid of
his wife by outwitting the Obregon
commander, Gen. Hurtado, at the
United States border, he said.

ESKIMOS FIND JOY IN JAZZ.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska.—A mis-
sionary has organized among the
Eskimos at Point Barrow ,in the
Arctic Circle, what probably is the
farthest north brass band in the
world. These Eskimos take kindly
to jazz, explaining that it harmon-
izes closely with their style of
dancing. :

mother-in-law’s voice.

Boxing vs. Prize Fighting

Prize fighting is brutal. That 1s what
it was intended to be, but boxing now has
many advocates in this country, and a num-
ber of states have boxing commissions to
handle this form of athletics, and general
satisfaction has resulted therefrom. :

Florida laws prohibit prize fighting, and
boxing exhibitions to which admission |
charges are made, but boxing 18 more or
less tolerated in several cities when it is
held under auspices of clubs which have

mysterious membership.
a Dr. Raymond C. Turck, state health of-
ficer, comes out squarely for boxing In
Florida. His views are expressed in the
December issue of Health Notes, monthly
magazine issued by the State Board of
health. If you are opposed to boxing, you
might get a different viewpoint by reading
what Dr. Turck has to say:

I am doubly interested in the success of the
boxing exhibitions now being put on by the 154th
Infantry, Florida National Cuard. As Colonel of
the Regiment, I see in boxing our greatest stimu-
lant of interest in athletics and in physical
training among the men of th eRegiment. I hope
that the bouts may make enough money to
provide athletic equipment for every unit of the
guard, to provide adequate gymnasiums, to em-
ploy trained physical directors. to provide com-
pany funds for the benefit and amusement. of
the enlisted men and finally to build a permanent
Y. M. €. A. and amusement hall at Camp John-
ston. As State Health Officer, I naturally have
a4 keen Interest Im anyining which makes for
physical training and the building of better
men.
Tor the past three years, the members of
the Athletic Council of the Jegiment have
been trying to stimulate interest and attend-
ance in the guard companies, to provide healthy
amusements, and to foster physical training.
Paseball, basketball, football, swimming, track
events are all seasonal and so far as actual
participation is concerned, appeal to but a
limited number of men. Boxing and wrestling
are not only wonderful measures for physical
training but appeal to all boys and most men
and are forms of athletic sport which are
seaseonable twelve months a year, The Army,
Navy, American Legion and the Y. M. C. A.
all have realized this and hence all are stressing
boxing in their athletic programmes.

~ The boxer, whether professional or amateur,
must keep in the pink of physical condition in
order to last through even four rounds of fast
boxing. The lesson of physical condition has
been most strikingly demonstrated in some of
the bouts at Camp Johnston. In the occasional
verliminary four or six round bout between
amateurs, soldiers or saiolrs, practically every
amateur was winded or exhausted after two
rounds—six minutes—of boxing. The contrast
between the physically untrained man and the
trained professional was most marked. After
the Finley-Ferns and Finley-Avera houts, each
ten rounds of fast, clever boxing, I was particu-
larly impressed with this lesson. After these
boys had had their showers and were dressed,
they came to my office as fresh and chipper
and happy as if they had just had a quiet walk
in the park. The moral is obvious. As a
rule, there are exceptions of course, but as a
rule the professional boxer of today is a clean
cut, elean living, wonderfully healthy young
athlete. He must necessarily keep himself
physically fit all the time. Jimmy Finley for
example, takes two hours of calisthenics every
morning, runs or walks an hour and boxes an
hour or more every afternoon. No drinking and
no ¢issipation is possible for the young man
who is boxing for a living. Think what it
would mean to the youth and to the men of
this country did they but devote one fifth as
much time to their physical training as does
the professional boxer. The young man,
porfessional or amateur, who is training for box-
ing or wrestling is nor running wild about the
streets or loafing about the corner drug store
or soda fountain.

That the professional boxing exhibition
with its example of cleverness, training and
enviable physical condition is one of our great-
est factors In stimulating interest in athletics
was vividly shown at Camp Johnston last
August. The Y. M.. A. sent a boxing instructor
to the regimental camp to give free lessons to
the men. Interest in boxing at first was desultory,
perhaps a dozen soldiers took advantage of the
boxing instructions at the “Y. The night
following the Finlev-Ferns bout at the camp,
there were 336 soldiers in the Y. M. C. A. box-
ing classes.

‘We must differentiate sharply between mod-
ern boxing as a clean wholesome athletic
sport, and the old time prize fight with its
brutality, erookedness, vulgarity and accompany-
Ing gambling and other disreputable and unde-
sirable features. Modern boxing, as fostered by
the Army, Navy and Y. M. C. A. is as different
from the old time prize fights as the old com-
bats of the gladiators in the Roman Coliseum
differ from the baseball game in the Yankee
Stadium. Unfortunately, we have to live down
and combat the odium of the old time prize
ring. In the minds of most people who have
uot witnessed boxing of today. there still exists
a prejudice based on impressions derived from
the brutal combats of the past, perhaps in the
subconscious mind, even beyond the prize fight
of thirty years ago to the combats of the cave-
men with their clubs and rocks.

The Boxing exhibitions now being staged by
the 154th Infantry are clean and wholesome. The
attendance of the women of Jacksonville is par-
ticularly desired and it is hoped that parents
will bring their boys. The Athletic Council of
the Regiment has given assurance that there
will be nothing offensive, no vulgarity, pro-
fanity or gambling and the Athletic Council
MEANS JUST THAT.

It is curious that many people who go to
see football and who frequently and with
scarcely a qualm watch badly injured boys, be-
ing carried from the field, perhaps with broken

people during and after the war,

ern boxing has been developed through the
stimulus given by the Army, Navy and Y. M.
C. A. during the war. It is to be hoped that
Boxing may be placed on the clean high plane
to which its value as a physical educator en-
titles it.

Boxing was given a new hold upon the
It was
a wholesome amusement, not only to those
engaged in the contests but for the on-
lookers as. well, and since the war ended
there seems to be a growing sentiment to
have boxing legalized.

Possibly the question will come before
the Florida legislature in 1925. Whether the
state should permit boxing contests is a
matter for the citizens to decide for them-
selves. If the contests are merely for the
enrichment of boxing promoters the sport
hasn’t a chance to become legalized, but
with a sponsor like Dr. Turck, the good
citizens will begin to study the question,
and possibly will give it support.

Naturalizing Aliens
Sweeping changes in the naturalization

nual report to the Secretary of Labor.
Briefly, they call for a clearer definition of
the special naturalization privilege granted

sailors serving during the world war to con-
form to peace time conditions; a uniform
seaman’s discharge certificate for the elimi-
nation of fraudulent naturalizations;
use of depositions to prove residence with-
in the same state in which petition has
been filed instead
presence of two witnesses to prove state
residence; repeal of the prohibitions in the
naturalization law against filing of declara-
tions of intention and the hearing of ndat-
uralization petitions within thirty days of
election days and the posting of naturali-

fore hearing; the extension of the period

be deported for not less than five years
after illegal entry and prohibition against
their naturalization until at least five years
continuous approved lawful residence; the
enactment of a provision requiring annual

a means of checking the wholesale rail-
roading of aliens into the United States and
subsequently their admission to citizenship
irrespective of illegal entry in the’ United
States, to facilitate the taking of steps for
the deportation of those who are barred
under our immigration statutes and to le-

of remaining, placing them in the. position
where they have nothing to hide so that
they may take their place as worthy Ameri-
cans, side by side with other Americans of
similar worth; and that naturalization pro-
ceedings be brought entirely within the ad-
ministrative branch of the government and
thereby relieve the judiciary of the tedium
of naturalization, with the right of appeal
from the Commissioner of Naturalization
or a naturalization commission to the ap-
pelate court of the United States in whose
jurisdiction the alien petitioner resides.”

Commissioner Crist’s recommendations
for this remedial. legislation are supple-
mented by a recital of clearly defined bene-
fits to the candidates for citizenship and
the citizenry of the country. They are
based upon facts and are consistently in
line with the budget plan of efficiency and
economy in the administration of the
“business” of the government relating to
the process of assimilating the political
family of the United States.

During the past year 145,084 were ad-
mitted to American citizenship, 24,874 of
whom were from Italy, 22,621 from Poland,
17,180 frem Russia, 16,935 from Great
Britain and possessions (except Canada),
12,064 from Germany and the remainder
from smaller countries and their posses-
sions.

The report shows that 24,884 were de-
nied or rejected for various causes, most of
which will be avoided in the future, accord-
ing to Commissioner Crist, under the re-
cently adopted plan for simplifying the ad-
ministrative machinery by establishing a
contact between the naturalization examin-
ing force and the applicant for naturaliza-
tion before he files his naturalization pe-

There are many warm hearts in
Pensacola, I am glad to say. Yester-
day morning I told about the young
mother with a 15-months old baby
who needed a hdme for the boy
while she worked, and nearly all
of my day was taken up discussing
with people the problem of provid-
ing a home for this mother and
child.

Tirst, Mrs, Howard of the Iscam-
bia Imergency Home, wrote me a

always provide care and shelter for
the mother and baby, and that the
baby would be cared for in the day
while the mother was at work. The
note was sent by a woman who told
me that the home had been a God-
to her when she was friend-
and alone. She said she had
been deserted by her husband
shortly before her baby was born
and that the IImergency Home had
cared for her ever since, and would
until she could find employment.

Then I had phone calls from other
people offering to do their part for
the little mother who was fighting
hard to keep her baby with her.

Shortly afterward, a young man,
bashful and retiring, who works in
the circulation department of The
Journal—and I might mention that
he doesn‘t make as much as some
of us do—came to my office and
said he thought that each employe
of The Pensacola Journal = should
agree to contribute 50 cents a week
for the care and support of the little
family.

send
y .
loss

More phone calls came in, want-
ing to know the circumstances of
the mother and baby, and Probation
Officer Pierce offered his services
to find a suitable home.

Then a lieutenant from the naval
station called in to say that he and
his wife had decided to take the
two into their home until such time
as the mother could provide for the
baby.

But I am glad to say that before
I could get away from the office
to make some investigation, that
some good woman had found a
woman who is willing to take care
of the baby during the hours the
mother is at her work, and also
provide a room for the mother for
$6 a week, and they were happily
situated last night.

Now the mother makes a salary
of $9 a week, so you see she hasn't
very much left after paying 86
board and also to purchase a quart
of milk for the baby each day.
However these ladies have arranged
for a dollar or two additional each
week to be given the mother, which
will keep the wolf away from the
door. :

The bad feature is that she has
only a temporary position and is
likely to lose it in a short while,
when I may have to call on some of
those who have volunteered.

Possibly some person, or several
persons might like to take a per-
sopal interest in this mother and
child, see that she is cared for in
case she loses her employment, and
for Christmas provide them with
suitable clothes and nourishing
food.

Mighty good to live in a com-
munity where the hearts of so
many people prompt them to res-
pond when a mother and baby are
in trouble.

Unusual People |

BY HARRY B, HUNT.

WASHINGTON.—Since the days
when the cry of ‘Tippecanoe and Ty-
ler, Too,” carried William Henry Har-
rison and John Tyler to victory in the
presidential campaign of 1840, the po-
litical value of a ticket with allitera-
tive or catch-line candidates has been
fully recognized.

This seeking after a team-mate
whose name would synchronize with
the president's in the Coolidge cam-=-
paign of 1924 made it inevitable that
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas
should he a likely vice-presidential
candidate.

Coolidge and Capper!” ‘Cal
Cap!” GQreat poossibilities there,
political psychologists insist.

Physically, Coolidge and Capper
might be picked for a winning team
in the sprints or low hurdles. Both
are lean and lanky.

Johnson, Watson, Borah and la
Follette would be picked for the
weight events, rather than the races,
Johnson and Watson particularly in-
clining toward waistlines of comfort-
able girth,

an’
the

In alliteration, however, Carl Chap-
man Countryman of Illinois believes
lie offers an even better bet than
Capper as a winning running mate
with Coolidge. Anyone he thinks
could ‘see’ the advantage of having
three C’s on the ticket with two C's.
Five C’s ought to be about enough to
seize the election, he maintains.

Countryman is 50, a poet and school
teacher.

The strangeness of political bed-
fellows is again demonstrated in the
association of Frank HH. Hitchcock
as campaign manager for Hi John-
son.

Hitchcock, it will be remembered,
landed the nomination for Charles
Evan Hughes eight years ago.

Hitcheock, orthodox, stand-pat ma-
chine politician, now - manages the
campaign of Hiram, rabidly unortho-
dox, anti-machine, progressive!

How come?

Hiram and Hitchcock are together
because each sees in the other a main
chance. Hitchcock is an efficient or-
ganizer and rounder-up of delegates.
That's what Hiram needs. Hiram is
a rambunctious campaigner, with a
hold on popular imagination and a
reserve of campaign pyrotechnics that
dazzle and delight. And he's a vote-
getter—which is essential to Hitch-
cock’s needs.

The political salon at 1736 M street,
where ‘Princess Alice’ Longworth,
formerly Alice Roosevelt, reigns su-
preme, has taken on added signifi-
cance by the elevation of her hus-
band, Nicholas Longworth, to the post
of majority floor leader of the House.
Although Husband Nick suffered de-
feat by the Progressive bloc in their
fight for a chance to overhaul the
rules of the House, a different story,
it is suggested, may be written up
after the coming battle following the
stU-day truce. ;

In that battle there was little op-
portunity for strategy or finesse. In
the 30 days before the next engage-
ment, however, much may be done.

In the planning of the strategy and
the lining up of forces for that oc-
casion the daughter of the former
president, who is alleged to have the
political sagacity of her parent, is ex-
pected to have no small influence.

For vears Fred J. “Buddy” Heintz,
prominent lawyer member of the
Louisiana legislature and constitu-
tional convention, has been one of
the &outh’s famous stud-poker play-
ers. His fellow clubmen noticed that
for six months he hadn't touched a
card. They learned why.

Mr. Heintz had finished examining
title six months ago for a client who
sold a big timber property for 385,-
000. He found that his own {father
had sold the client that property for
$250, fifteen years ago. He asked
why his father had sold 600 acres of
timber-land for $250.

“1 met your father one. night in a
stud-poker game,” said the client.
“He lost his stack, and told me:
‘I've got 600 acres of timbersland
I've never seen. Is it worth $200 to
you?" 1 bought it. The $250 stack
of chips lasted your father forty min-

“I'm through.” said Buddy Heintz,
He swears he'll never touch a card

OMAHA, Neb.—Since April 1,
1922, Horace George, 85, figures he
has traveled more than 50,000
miles.

That includes a trip around the
world, one to New Orleans and
Cuba, another to San Francisco
and the Hawaiian Islands, and sun-
dry trips to various spots in the
United States.

He's prominent in the G. A. R.
and has attended every national
convention in the last 30 years.

“Traveling keeps your joints lim-
ber, your muscles working and your
blood circulating,” concludes George
from his long experience.

Your Health

By DR. C. C. ROBINSON

OCCUPATION AND HEALTH.

Glancing through the American
Contractor the other day, 1 was
struck with the thought of the
great influence of certain kinds of
work on the health of the individu-
al. The plumbing situation was up
for discussion.

The educational director of the
plumbing and heating industry
gives us some things to attract our
attention. In spite of the large
wage attached to the job, the craft
of plumbing is losing workers rap-
idly. If the present rate of loss
continues, according to the author,
in & quarter of a century the genius
plumber will be found only in the
story book or the museum.

Here is a health warning for the
public. A large city only recently
wound up a ten-year fight for
health and sanitary sewage dis-
posal by decreeing that all outside
privy vaults should be removed
and modern plumbing installed in
iwo years. But there were not
enough plumbers to do the work.

The improvements have to wait
and ill health continues from the
unsanitary conditions, on account
of loss of workers from the trades.

This is true of other trades as
well, Officials report that during
the last two years, in 17 building
trades, there has been a loss of
60,000 workers.

Another phase of the health situ-
ation is this:

A news item contains the infor-
mation that building costs are so
high, principally on account of la-
bor shortage, that thousands of
would-be home builders are living
in cramped apartment quarters.
The health of these families is
suffering.

Evidently the workers have
sought some other field of endeav-
or. They have left the trades for
the so-called svhite-colilar jobs.
Muscles and manhood are twin
brothers. The health of our nation
demands an educated manual labor.
The life-blood of our country must
rally for health or we perish.

Holland may lose her biggest
cheese. He wants to go back and be
kaiser of Germany again.

BROTHER IS PITTED AGAINST HIS SISTER
IN FIGHT FOR FORTUNE OF $15,000,000

NEWKIRK, Okla.—Brother and sis-

lass of 16 disowning the woman who |
claims to be her mother——

And a fortune of $15,000,000
stake.

And new perplexities, it séems, are
arising almost daily.

Already attorneys on both sides in

““A suit by Gregorio Velazquez Car-
michael, a minor, through his guard-

ian, Sarah Pettit.”

On the plaintiff's side of the trial

the far off Philippines—a lad dis-
covered in a village in the interior of
the islands and still untouched by civi-
lization.

thing. Today, owing to the black
gold flowing from a score of wells, it
is valued at $30,000,000,

hood, physically, is coming back.

For proof there are the figures
compiled by the department of
physical education at Vassar Col-
legei They show that, in the last 36
years, girls entering college have
shown a trend toward the perfect
figure so finely exemplified by the
Venus de Milo. Their average
weight has increased from 123.8
pounds to 125.8 pounds, but the cor-
seted, confined 22-inch waistline, in
the last 10 vears, has developed in-
to the free, mobile 25-inch girth of
today.

These facts are substantiated by
the opinion of Bessie Potter Von-
noh, noted sculptress of beautiful
womanhood.

“This larger 1923
ininity is a decided
on her predecessor,” Mrs. Vonnoh
says. “The increase doesn't mean
she is becoming coarser or less fem-
inine. She is just reverting to her |
natural figure, and you can’t im-!
prove on nature's plan.

“The modern girl is of the pro-|
portion her mother and grand-|
mother would have been had they!
lived as healthfully as girls do to- |
day.

The increase in size has produced

no dearth of beautiful models, ex-
plains Mrs. Vonnoh. Nor is it
necessary any longer to rely entire-
lv upon young girls for sculptural
inspiration.

“Some women of 30 and 40 have
as lithe figures as they had at 20,
just because they dress more sensi-
bly," she believes,

“But a woman must also exercise
proper self-control, keep out of
the arm chair and be lert mentally,
if she wants to retain at 40 or 50
what nature bestowed upon her at
16.”

Must Feel Young.

Mrs. Vonnoh finds her greatest
joy in shaping figures of dancing
girls.

“But I could not bring these fig-
ures from the clay if I did not my-
self know the joy of rhythm and
the poetry of motion.

“I believe this is the same with
all women. can’t put youth

And they have brought Gregorio’s
mother over from her island home
fo substantiate their contentions. She
asks nothing for herself, but a half
interest of $7,000,000 for her son.

According to the boy's attorneys,
Dugal Carmichael, when mustered
out of service after the war with
Spain, remained in the Philippines
and married a native girl, Two chil-
dren, the girl, Dorothy, and the boy,
Gregorio, were born to them. Short-
ly after Gregorio’s birth, when Dor-
othy was 3, the father died, leaving
as his only estate the few forgotten
Oklahoma acres.

Michael Koeghan, an army buddy
of Dugal Carmichael, induced the
Filipino mother to let him bring the
daughter to the United States where
she might be educated in American
ways. :

The mother, thinking only of her
daughter's interests, consented to the
sacrifice. Koeghan brought the girl
to this country and placed her in the
keeping of Mrs. Pettit, the aunt with
whom she has been ever since.

.. Flow of Riches.

A few years ago oil was discovered
on the inherited property.

Black gold rushed from the land.

And almost over night Dorothy and
her aunt were made immensely
wealthy.

To share in their millions Is what
the disputed brother is fighting for.

And the silent little Filipino woman
who claims to be the mother of each
watches the spectacle with tragic
eyes.

Gold has built a forbidding barrier
about the trio. And not even love
can surmount it. :

THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1923

By Helen Harrington Downing

THREE MEALS A DAY I
|

Three times every day the home
, niandger is confronted with ‘the
problem of serving a meal to her
family. Regardless of the fact that
she must serve three meals a day
she is able to save herself a great
deal of time and effort if her menus
are planned in advance.

In planning her meals, she must
keep in mind the necessity of both
satisfying the body needs as well
as the sense of hunger. In supply-
ing the needs of the body it is eas-
jest for her to remember that there
are,.roughly speaking, about four
groups of foods and each group
supplies an entirely different necd.

The main dish of the meal should
be one containing the building
foods, When she thinks of the
building foods she includes the
meats, cheese, eggs, fish and skim
milk. Peas, beans and nuts are
also used in this group as meat
substitutes. Around the main dish
she plans the rest of the dishes,

In addition to the body building
foods there are the energy giving
foods. In this group are the foods
containing starch, such as flours
and meal, breads, crackers, macar-
oni, rice, tapioca, potatoes, as well
as certain breakfast foods. From
this group, is chosen a dish to ac-
company the meat or fish. Sugar
also gives energy. Cakes and cook-
ies, frozen ices, dried fruits, cand-
ies, sugar syrups, honey, preserves
and jellies supply the sweet part of
the meal.

The third kind of energy giving
foods are the “fats” and under this
class come butter, cream, lard,
cheese, salt pork and bacon, vege-
tables, nut oils and margarines.

Next come the regulating foods
which supply the minerals, rough-
age and vitamines or protective
substances. The minerals such as
lime, iron and phosphorous are
found in milk, vegetables, fruit,
eggs, oatmeal and whole cereals,
graham and entire wheat flour.
None of us eat enough roughage,
of which food cabbage is a good
example.

~ There has been a great deal of
recent discussion regarding the
vitamines or protective substances
but it is sufficient for the home
maker to know that if she includes

milk, butter, fresh fruits and vege-
tables in her menus, she will be
assured that she is giving her fam-
ily the foods necessary to include
the vitamines. A family fed upon
a diet to include these substances
certainly’ will not need to take any
other way of securing vitamines.

‘When the home manager has once
clearly in her mind these different
classes of foods and the purpose
which they serve, meal planning is
not a difficult problem. After she
has placed upon the table a care-
fully selected and well balanced
meal, she has done her part. It is
impossible for her to see that the
several members of the family act~
ually eat a well balanced meal, as
each will have his own food prefer-
ences and probably eat more of
some kind of food than others. Suf-
fice that she has done her part.

Take meat for instance—some
people prefer to have meat once a
day; others prefer to have it three
times a day, but in smaller quan-
tities. The housewife should plan
as to how much meat she wishes
to include in her menus for the
week and then distribute it
throughout the meal according to
the tastes of her family.

One large school system feeding
several thousand children, plans to
have in their menus one part of
the body building foods, two parts
of the foods which we have classi-
fied under fats and five parts of
the foods which we have classed
under sugars and starches. This
is a good proportion to use.

When a menu has been planned
so that it supplies the various needs
of the body she has not completed
her task. It is up to her to plan
to have variety and to serve the
food in the most attractive way,
and in such a manner that it will |
even create an appetite.

It has been said that we eat
with our eyes, and there is a great
deal of truth in this statement be-
cause it is known that the sight of
attractive food starts the flow of
digestive juices in the stomach, and
actually assists in the digestion of
foods.

The meal time should aways be
one of pleasant conversation and a
time to be enjoyed by all. The final
consideration, and one which is of
great importance is that of cost. An
efficient manager will never include
a food in her menu without con-
sidering whether or not she can ob-
tain it at a reasonable cost. The
competent manager of the home
knows when the various foods are
in the markets and when she can
obtain the best prices and she plans
‘her meals accordingly.

This same method of planning
meals is used throughout the cal-
endar year with the exception that
we need fewer of the fats and enjoy
more of the fresh vegetables and
fruits during the hot weather.

A set of one week's menus for a
family of five (consisting of two
grown-ups and three children) will
‘be sent free upon receipt of request
mailed to the Home Economics De-
partment, Calumet Baking Powder
Company, Chicago.

TWO FASTEST OLYMPIC STARS
ARE LAID UP WITH INJURIES

PADDOCK

Two of the fastest sprint men in
America, both outstanding reliances
for the Olympic events, are laid up
with injuries. What effect these in-
juries will have on the strength of
the American invading team de-
pends entirely on future develop=-
ments.

FLUKE COUNTER
BEATS JUNIORS
AND FRESHMEN

Well Matched Struggle Goes
to Senior-Sophomores on
Fluke Touchdown.

A fluke touchdown gave the
Senior-Sophomore team a victory
over the Junior-Freshman eleven
in the inter-class struggle of P, H.
8. students at Maxent Park yester-
day afternoon. Neither team showed
a marked advantage over the other,
the ball zig-zagging back and forth
and never coming within threaten-
ing distance of either goal.

The only counter came when, with
the ball on their 20-yard line, the
Junior-Freshman team fumbled, the
ball was booted back of the line, and
McLane fell on it. The try for ex-
tra point failed when Hall, captain
of the Junior-Freshman team,
blocked a drop kick. 5

Rhinehart, fullback, and Green,
center, played good ball for the
winners, while Ray, halfback, and
Hall tackle, played good ball for the
losers, Welsh also played 'a men-
tionable game.

ST. PETE PLANS POLO.

ST. PETERSBURG.—A field is
being laid out along the waterfront
section here for use of polo players
who spend the winters in this city.
Efforts are. under way to bring the
Florida West Coast open golf
championship to 8t. Petersburg
next March 14-15.

MURCHISON

The two illustrious cripples are
Charles Paddock of California and
T.oren Murchison of New York.
Paddock sprained his ankle in a re-
cent basketball game, and is now
on crutches. He will be out of train-
ing for a month, possibly longer.

Murchison is suffering from a
form of spinal trouble, and no one
seems able to forecast his future so
far as the Olympiad is concerned. ;

It is needless to add that Ameri-
ca’'s chances in the sprints without
Paddock and Murchison, or with
either missing, will be greatly re-
duced.

MAJOR LEAGUERS
AGREE TO BEGIN
SEASON APRIL 15

American Association Adopts
Schedule of 168 Games ;
Hear Pay Claims.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14—One of the
final acts of the baseball magnates
who have spent ‘the week here in
business meeting and playing trades
was the agreement of the major
league representatives on the open-
ing date of April 15, Last year the
leagues opened on different dates.

President Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittshurg Nationals said the open-
ing date was virtually the only
thing agreed upon but that the task
of the schedule framers of each
league next February was consid-
erably smoothed by this arrange-
ment.

Dreyfuss, President John A. Hey-
dler and a few of the minor league
magnates. who are directors of the
National Association of Minors were
the last of the diamond magnates
to leave tonight.

A large number of comparatively
small salary claims were up before
the national board of arbitration
of the minors, The minor league
club owners were unanimous in
their dissatisfaction with the re-
sults of the Chicago meeting, as the
minors joint sessions took up so
much of the time of ihe league
presidents that the leagues were
able to do but little real business of
their own.

PITY! POOR HEN
IS SAVED BY IT

BOSTON, Dec. 14~—~Lady Ca-
mille, a prize blue orpington hen
that was arrested last week
charged with theft after it had
snatched a diamond from a ring
worn by a visitor at the Chelsea
poultry show, has been pur-
chased by Lawrence A. Randall,
a Boston poultryman. He paid
$250 to the owner of the dia-
mond, in addition to the ruling
market price for the hen.

‘Lady Camille was released
when a judge found that the
criminal code did not extend to
fowl. Then the owner of the
diamond insisted upon an op-
eration and paid the owner of
the hen $100 as damages in the
event of Lady Camille's death
from the operation. Later Ran-
dall came forward with his of-

CHILEAN BOXER
IS DEFEATED BY
JOHNNY SHUGRUE

American Makes Sensational
Rally in Twelfth and
Outpoints Vicentini.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Johnny
Shugrue, of Waterbury ' Conn., to-
night administered to Isuis Vicen-
tini, the Chilean lightweight, the
first defeat he has suffered since
coming to this country. Shugrue was
given the judges’ decision after
their 12 round bout in Madison
Square Garden tonight.

The Chilean led on points until
the twelfth round when Shugrue
made a sensational rally and
brought to an end the string of
American victims that Vicentini
had gathered since coming here.
His three victories all were knock-
outs.

. It was the Connecticut fighter's
ability to rally after severe punish-
ment that most surprised fans at
the ringside. In the seventh Vi-
centini had his opponent on the
verge of a knockout with blood
flowing from his mouth and nose
but he couldn't get the devastating
punch over.

Vicentini was eager to take the
lead, but Shugrue beat him to it.
In the first six rounds Johnny's ex-
perience and his resourcefulness
offset the Chilean’s harder hitting,
but after that Vicentini’'s sustained
attack kept Shugrue more on the
defensive. Had Vicentini the skill,
it was the opinion he might have
knocked out Shugrue in any of the
latter rounds except the last,

NEW YORK, Dec. 14—Irish
Johnny Curtin, Jersey City bantam-
weight, won on a foul from Joe
Ryder, of Brooklyn, tonight in the
fifth round of a 12 round match, at
Madison Square Garden, which
shared the feature place on the card
with the Vicentini-Shugrue contest.

HOWARD KINSEY
AND WILLS LEAD

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Dec. 14.
—Howard O. Kinsey, of San Fran-
cisco was given number one position
in the men’s singles in the annual
rankings of California sectonal ten-
nis players announced today by
the California Lawn Tennis Associ~
ation. Miss Helen Wills of Berke-
ley, women’s national champion,
was placed number one in the
women's singles.

William M. Johnston, world’s
hard and turf court champion, was
not ranked in the singles in his
home state, because he did not par-
ticipate in the required number of
tournaments. He was in Europe
and in the east when the tourna-
ments were played in California.
Robert and Howard Kinsey were
ranked number one in the men’s
doubles.

BONDS LOWER IN
ACTIVE TRADING

Late Payment of Carrying
Charges on Chinese Rail
Issues Features.

———
NEW YORK, Dec. 14. —Bond

prices generally slipped slightly

lower in active trading today.

One of the most interesting feat-
ures of the day's trading concerned
the Chinese Railway 5's, on which
semi-annual interest is to be paid
to-morrow. The bonds have been
_rejctionary for several days, due to
some speculative uncertainty over
‘tie payment of this interest. Under
_the terms -of the loan which was

“placed in France, England, Germ-
any and America, the service on
the bonds is to be deposited fifteen
days prior to the due date. It was
not, however, until noon today that
Bankers received a cable from Lon-
don that the money, amounting to
about $800,000, had been deposited.
The bonds which touched a new
dow for the year yesterday bounded
wpward, closing 3 1-2 points higher.

Trading was quite active in the
industrial group and some of the
fluctuations covered a wide range.
Cerro De Pasco 8's, for instance,
ran up more than a point, but
closed 1 3-4 points below yester-
day's final figure. American Tele-
phone and Telegraph convertible
6 1-2’s advanced 1 1-2 to a new
high for the year.

New changes in the railroad
group were not large, although the
bonds moved in large volume.

Active United States government

onds held id, steady.

New Orleans Cotton

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 14. —There
were two periods of liberal offer-
ings and declining values in the
cotton market today, ona in the
early trading and the other in the
afternoon. In between, the tone
was steady, and the tendency was
to recover. From losses under yes-
terday’s last sales in the early ses-
sion of 17 to 33 points, the market
came back until the most active
months were 7 to 13 points over
yesterday's closing range of prices.
In the afternoon there were wide
breaks and the lowest prices came
almost on the close when the list
was at net losses of 76 to 86 points.
Last sales were 75 to 86 points net
lower.

January sold off to 33.85 cents a
pound and its last sale was at that
price. It traded at 34.68 at the
best of the day.

How wags the world?

Pessimists declare that the ad-
ministration of government in this
country has begun to crumble to
pieces through the organization of
political blocs, each intent upon
serving only its own selfish inter.
ests regardless of the consequences
inflicted upon the rest of the ¢
try. Our 35 million agricultural
population are pictured as writhing
in distress. Emphasis is placed
upon the sad plight of American
shipping. The nation’s production
facilities have been developed
hopelessly beyond requirements, it
is dolefully complained.

As for morality, hold-ups and
and other crimes of violence, the
ways of our young folks, the decay
of religion—why, the whole outlook
is - positively alarming, we are

A bad state of affairs, isn't it?
Apparently the country is headed
for perdition.

Well, when was this picture of
conditions drawn up?

More than a hundred and twenty
years ago!

William A. Robinson of Dart-
mouth College, who has sent it to
the writer, adds this:

“The above parody on the “Prices

ure of a hundred and twenty-five
years ago, is quoted from the Inde-
pendent Chronicle, Boston, June
16, 1800. There was no Stock Ex-
change list in the modern sense,
but under that head newspapers

disturbance anywhere.

printed commodity prices, quota-'
tions on government loans and a

few bvpank and insurance company
stocks. It has both historical in-
terest and a present-day moral.

“Conservatives have always be-
lieved that the country, if not the
worl din general, is heading to-
wards the ‘everlasting bonfire.”
Financial journals are continually
pouring out lamentations or vitu-
peration over the cowardice and
stupidity of Congress, the venality
of office holders, popular gullibility
and folly. The religiously inclined
are equally disturbed over falling
standards of virtue, public and
private. For the last five years
the output has been abnormally
large.

Â¥There should be a certain
amount of comfort in this century
and a quarter old skit, although
there are doubtless many who will
consider that it merely confirms
their belief that we are approaching
the bottom of the chute and final
destruction impends. However, it
should help most of us to realize
that it is a tough old world ,that it
has seen reforms come and go, and
while some have fought them, oth-
ers have stood by and enjoyed the
contest. Certainly in the field of
human relationships ‘there is no-
thing new under the sun.’ ”

When ‘'E. H. Harriman’s last ill-
ness took an alarming turn ,there
wag consternation in financial and
stock market circles, for it was
feared that, should he die, wild
panic would break out in the stock
market. Harriman did die, but
his death caused not even a ripple.
When the death occurred of J. P.
Morgan, there was not the slightest
James J.
Hill's removal was hardly noticed.
President Harding's death had no
effect upon affairs.

I often reflect on such facts
when I hear or read dire prophecies
of impending disaster. I reflect,
too, upon the most disturbed peri-
ods in our history and on the many
crises European countries have
come through. If you read sermons
of bygone preachers, you will find
them shaking their heads even
worse that the preachers of today
over the apparent determination of
the people to career straight to the
nether regions.

But, somehow, the world con-
tinues to revolve and civilization
continues to make progress.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Conflict-
ing price movements took place in
today's stock market, industrials
swinging upward in vigorous fash-
ion until checked by the usual week
end realizing movement just before
the close, while railroad shares
continued to fall back on a renewal
of selling pressure against. the
northwestern carriers. Total sales,
which again exceeded one and one
quarter million shares, testified to
increased public participation.

Large buying orders were placed
in the market at the opening as a
result of the favorable showing
made in the November foreign trade
statement and the growing specula-
tive belief that the further reduc-
tion in crude oil output, coincident
with an increase on certain Texan
and Pennsylvania grades foreshad-
owed a definite turn for the better
in the oil industry.

Oils moved to higher ground in
active trading under the leadership
of such issues as producers and re-
finers, Pan-American A and B, Cos-
den, Marland, Houston and Pacific,
all of which closed a point or more
higher on the day although early
gains were not entirely maintained.
Sugars were heavily bought in the
early dealings but they, too, fell
back in the heavy realizing move-
ment of the afternoon.

The so-called pivotal shares—U.
S. Steel, Baldwin, American Can
and Studebaker—also became active
at higher prices but with the ex-
ception of American Can, which
closed nearly a point higher, they
forfeited all of their gains and
closed either unchanged or frac-
tionally lower.

The chief individual feature was
United Cigar Stores which jumped
18 points to 205 and then slipped
back to 200. U. S. Cast Iron Pipe
jumped more than 4 points to 65, a
new 1923 top, and then eased to 63
1-2. Some of the other strong spots
wera Corn Products, U. 8. Alcohol,
Republic Steel, Hayes Wheel, Amer-
ican Water Works and Hartman
Corporation. Considerable interest
was aroused by the activity of
American Telephone, which touched
128 3-4 and closed at 127 5-8 for a
net gain of nearly a point.

Willys Overland preferred, one of
the recent strong spots, dropped
back 2 5-8 to 8 1-8; Du Pont
dropped 2 1-4 and Jones Bros. Tea
closed 2 points lower after estab-
lishing a new low record for the
year.

The deadlock over the chairman-
ship of the senate Interstate Com-
merce Committee and the drop in
car loadings for the week ending
Dec. 1, which was explained, how-
ever, by the Thanksgiving holiday,
were regarded as contributing fac-
tors to the heaviness of the rail
shares. Northern Pacific and Union
Pacific dropped about a point while
most of the other Northewestern,
and a number of eastern issues
yielded fractionally.

-Call money opened at 4 3-4 per
cent but dropped to 4 1-2 before the
close. Trading in the time money
market was again quiet with short
term loans arranged at 5 and the
longer maturities at 5 1-4. The
Commercial Paper market was mod-
erately active with the best names
commanding 4 3-4 per cent.

Principal foreign exchange rates
were slightly reactionary. Uneasi-
ness over the British political situa-
tion caused a further drop of 1-2
cent in the rate on demand sterling,
which was quoted around $4.36 3-4

while French francs eased about 2
points to 5.30 cents.

NO LOAFING CLERKS AT SALE

OF WATSON, PARKER & REESE

, Not for a minute since the . sale
began has there been an idle sales-
man in the force of the Watson,
Parker and Reese Company, now
conducting a reorganization sale
that started Wednesday.

Amazing reductions have been
made in some of the departments
in order to reduce the stock before
the coming year, when they expect
to remodel the entire building.
And all sales are cash.

The shoe and clothing depart-
ments will be discontinued after the

reorganization and will probably be
replaced by some department that
at present is: on the second floor
of the establishment. .
Every article in the entire stock
has been reduced in price and will
be placed in the sale for quick
movement prior to the remodeling.
A competent and courteous sales
staff has been hired by the Watson
Parker and Reese Company to take
care of the heavy patronage that

has come to this store since the!

sale started.

CHILDS RESTAURANT HASNT
CLOSED DOORS IN SIX YEARS

“Hungry? Eat at Childs Res-
taurant” is a motto known to every
business man as well as practically
every person who eats away from
home in the city of Pensacola.

Childs Restaurant established six
years at the present location, has
not for one moment closed its doors
to the public from the date the
doors were first thrown open,

Childs is open all day and all
night ready to serve the latest and
the very earliest. Those that are so
unfortunate as to have to go to
work in the early hours of the
morning will find at Childs the
breakfast that is befitting a man
who has to worry with the struggles
of office.

Childs Restaurant especially ca-
ters to the trade of the sportsman
who in the early hours of the day
are preparing to spend the day in

NEW YORK, Dec. 14—Dun’'s to-
morrow will say: It is not the sea-
son now for increased operations
in other than retail channels, nor
for definite indications of the probe
able future trend of business gener-
ally. Activities have centered on
meeting holiday demands, which re-
flect the large public buying power
and some calls for quick shipments
of Christmas goods have come to
wholesale markets. Yet distribu-
tion of heavyweight apparel has
been checked in many places hy ab-
sence of low temperatures, with

| lack of normal snowfall, and more

is heard of accumulations of such
merchandise. The moderate weath-
er, however, has made possible a
continuation of outdoor work for
a longer time than usual, giving
employment to labor which might
otherwise be idle, and the Novem-
ber building statistics show that
much additional construction has
been planned. This is one of the
strong points in the general situa-
tion, but elsewhere in the industrial
field a slowing process is visible.

‘After-theatre parties are a spec-
iglty with the Childs restaurant,

Quick and courteous service is one
of the many things to which. the
owners of this restaurant attribute
their success. Business men who
have only a few minutes to spare
from their work go to Childs as
there the service is quick—and
nothing is so pleasing to the busi-
ness man as quick service.

Regular dinner from 11:30 to 2
o'clock at very reasonable price is
a feature of ‘this restaurant. Regu-
lar sypper served from 5 to 8

served at supper and dinner alike,
is a feature that is accorded cus-

THE SHORTEST DISTANCE
BETWEEN BUYER AND SELL-

ER IS OUR STRAIGHT LINE

and the finish is so close that the
crowd at the track did not khow
which horsé had won until the
judges decided that Zev was first
ovér the line. : :

The Pathe News presents exclu-
sive pictures of the finish—and has
it in “slow motion.”

Strange to say the ‘slow motion”
pictures show “In Memoriam” nos-
ing out “Zev” at the finish, but this
is due to the fact that the camera
is just beyond. the [inish line whers
the ‘angle of view slightly favors
“In Memoriam.” The judges, who,
of couige, were on the finish line,
declare Zev pozred the post first.

This picture is going to create 3
lot of talk!

Mr. Williams, preaching under his

comfortably in excess of 38,500 peo-

one of the best ever constructed for
that purpose. The music is under
the direction of Mr. and Mre. Perry

i fugitive promoter had made careful

piled up today for Leo Korstz,
fugitive promoter of a $4,000,000
“Panama, oil bubble,”

Koretz, who varied the usual
practice of the alleged swindler by
picking as his victims his nwn rela-
tives and persons with large sums
of money, many of whom begged
him to take it, was reported named
in a true bill voted by the grand
jury today charging larceny and
operation of a confidence game. At
almost the same time an involun-
tary petition - in bankruptcy was
filed against him by three creditors
whose claims totalled $6,500 and a
trust company was named receiver.

Brothers Return Fortune.

Four brothers of the missing man
today turned over $175,000 to the
state’s attorney's office and said
another $100,000 would be surrend-
ered as well as jewels valued at
$75,000 belonging to Koretz's wife.
The money and jewels were dis-
tributed by Koretz among his rela-
tives and friends shortly before his
departure, in the guise of an “extra
dividend” derived from what he had
told them was his rich holdings of
oil, mahogany and rubber lands be-
side the purling Bayano river in
Panama. The family fund, repre-
senting about 3300,000 was said to
be a loss to his relatives as it was
reported to represent only a part of
the money ‘they entrusted to him
with visions of fabulous riches.

Carefully Planned Flight.

Two more bank accounts of Ko-
retz were examined by assistant
state's attorneys today. They dis-
said, that the

plans for his flight by either closing
the accounts or reducing them to a

tfew hundred dollars a short time

unite on him.”

Republican leaders said Senator
Cummins, republican, Iowa, had
been endorsed for the chairmanship
by a regular party conference and
that they would continue to vote for
him until the conference had form-
ally decided on some other senator.

With the insurgents supporting
Senator Howell, the situation Mon-
day would be exactly as it was dur-
ing the three days of balloting
earlier in the week, with neither
Senator Cummins nor Senator
Smith of South Carolina, the demo-
cratic candidate, able to muster the
majority necessary for election.

In announcing that the insurgents
would support Senator Howell, who
ranks last among the republican
members of the Interstate Com-
merce Committee, Senator Norris
said the insurgents had been ap-
proached “by an emissary of the so-
called regular republicans, and the
proposition had been made to us
that in selecting the chairman of
this committee, the rule of seniority
should be overthrown and a selec-
tion for chairman be made from
other members of the committee,
regardless of length of service, eith-
er in the senate or the committee.”

“In order to break the deadlock,
therefore, we have decided to follow
this suggestion,” Senator Norris
added, “and when balloting is re-
sumed next Monday we expect to
cast our votes for Senator Howell,
a member of the Interstate Commit-
tee, with the hope that our effort of
compromise will be acceptable to
our associates and the deadlock
broken. If Senator Cousens is
more satisfactory than Senator
Howell, we will be glad to unite on

him.”

state tonight belleved they had
stopped most of the leakage of hol-
iday liquor over the Canadian bor-
der,

While admitting that perhaps
some fleet liquor laden automobiles
had escaped their vigilance on little
traveled roads during the snow-
storm of last night, the agents were
convinced that the driver of the
larger cargoes were unwilling to
take a chance, knowing that the
highways were exceptionally well
guarded.

The bootleggers were said to be
in a rage over the delay in fulfilling
down state contracts with financial
losses in sight. The agents would
not be surprised to see a concen-
trated dash over the line by half a
dozen machines, the theory being
that while some would be caught
others might escape in the confu-
sion.

Weather conditions also are
causing anxiety among the smug-
glers. The winters in this north
country are usually severe and deep
snow clogs the highways for
months, making fast travelling out
of the question.

HIGHLANDS, N. J. Dec, 14.—
(By A. P.)—Icy gales kicked up
such seas along the Jersey coast to-
day that all but seven of the Christ-
mas rum squadron of twenty ves-
sels weighed anchor and withdrew
to the open sea to ride out the
storm.

The weather and the heavily re-
inforced federal, state and county
staffs of prohibition agents, at sea
and ashore, threatened to send glim-
mering the rum runners’ last hope

features of testimony adduced from
witnesses today during the trial of
Philip E. Fox, Ku Klux Klan editor.
Fox is charged with murder grow-
ing out of the death of Willlam S.
Coburn, a klan attorney, and has
entered a plea of insanity.

The defense produced witnesses
whose tesitmony tended to show
that during the time they were as-
sociated with Fox in newspaper
work in Dallas, Tex. he suffered a
mental breakdown and imagined
that his best friends were his worst
enemies and that in their opinion he
was insane. Dr. E. W, Loomis, aiegt newspapers in Texas:

CLASH IN VIEVIS
ON PIMIGRATION

Liberals and Conservatives
Unable to Take Vote on
Quota Law Change.
NEW YORK, Dec, 14—A clash be-
tween liberal and conservative
views on immigration policy today
marked the closing session of the
national iminigration conference,
wiich ended its two day meeting
without adopting resolutions or tak-
ing a formal vote on changes in the
present quota law. The last day's
session also was enlivened when
Birs. Mary Ware Bennett, director
of the Voluntary Parenthood league
started to read a paper on birth
control as a means of solving im-
migration prob’'ems. She was
stepped, despite » © protest, by Pe-
ter J. Brady, cou. erence chairman.
Among speakers adhering to a
“liberal” immigration policy was
Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, rector of
the Church of the Ascension, who
aszerted the United States “has no
vight to be particular about an indi-
vidual who is needed industrially,
when his condition can be changed

and improved here.”

“Since our native stock seems so
shy of perpetuating itself,” he add-
ed, “people should be brought here
who keep close to nature. The
country needs muscle and persever-
ance to build it up.”

Advocating further restriction of

immigration, Judge W. W. Willett,
of San Francisco, asserted that be-
fore the United States allowed more
aiiens to come in it should find out
whether foreigners already here
were Americans or still loyal to
their native lands.
. The fundamental problem,” he
said, "is to do what is best for the
United States, regardless of its ef-
fect upon any class. Races who do
not assimiliate with Americans and
whose customs cannot be reconciled
with those of this country should be
excluded.”

Selective immigration was in.
dorsed by a majority of the seven-
tv-eight speakers at the conference,
srho agreed that the present act
must be replaced by a new law, but
differed widely on changes which
they thought should be made.

tinuation of the Harding memorial
campaign through December and as
far into January as may be neces-
sary to reach the community, coun-
tv and state quotas assigned for the
$3.000,000 memorial fund sought,
was decided upon today.

She asked to be informed if a wo-

The watch was kept but no woman
was seen, the detective agency said.

Fleeing to China.

A search is now being made for
this woman.

A telegram was received at the
office today de-
aring that Koretz is on the high
seas fleeing to China, The name
of the sender of the message was
not divulged. ;

Koretz's speculations, which it is
estimated will reach between 84,-
600,000 and $5,000,000 are covered by
assets said to be worth about $750,-
000. This represents between $3(0,-
000 and $400,000 given by Koretz to
and friends, and which
they have promised to return, some |
rice lands in Arkansas, two auto-
mobiles, a valuable library, house
furnishings and some stocks of
doubtful value. :

Theories that Koretz left Chicago |
by airplane for a foreign country
apparently were c¢xploded today
when it was determined that per-
sons who have recently negotiated
for airplanes for long distance jour-
neys did not resemble the missing

| promoter.

SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 14. —Fear
that foul play had befallen Leo Ko-
retz of Chicago, being sought in
connection with a stock selling
schemes involving $4,000,000, prompt-
ed relatives of Koretz to ask the as-
sistanco of a detective agency and
led to revelation of his alleged op-
erations, it was stated here today by
Harry Rosenhaupt, whose wife is a
sister of Mrs. Koretz.

‘While he admitted he had invest-
ed in Koretz Company, Rosenhaupt
said his loss would not be great,
even if the concern was fraudulent,
which he declared he doubted.

Prohibition officers ashore, how-
ever, were warned by revenue cut-
ter sailors that “Lucky Lady” whom
they recently rescued from drown-
ing when one of her bottle boats
sank with a cargo on the way in
from the rum fleet at night, had
recovered and was actively direct-
ing the fleet of city-going liquor
trucks and touring cars which she
is reputed to operate ashore.

‘Lucky Lady” is a prepossessing

Jrunette of 30 and the head of aif

syndicate of whiskey smugglers
that operates both water and land
craft, the authorities say. She ac-
companied her own ships out to
Rum Rom, they say, bargained with
the skippers there for supplies of
imported liquor and directed the
unloading and reloading into cars
at the beach. She usually rode the
“Louise,” which federal rum hunt-
ers, whose mosquito fleet has tried
to capture her, say is one of the
{fastest bootleggers on the coats.
An uncanny faculty for keeping
out of the hands of the law earned
“Lucky Lady” her nickname. While
fair weather lasted, all went well.
Then, in a bit of a squall, the
Louise sprang a leak. “Lucky
Lady” kept her nerve until the
crew, unable to bail fast enough to
keep the boat afloat, began in des-
peration to lighten the Louise by:
casting overboard her $4,000 cargo:
of liquor.’ 4d
The skipper fainted at the sight.
Her crew beached the Louise and
rushed “Lucky Lady” to a govern-
ment hospital. She returned to her
fleet when she recovered. but not!

state troopers, she remained ashore!
directing by means of a system of
red, green and white electric flash |
signals from the windows of her |
shore home in Key Port, the safe |

“Lucky Lady” is the second wo-:
man whom authorities have ident-

on the rules committee and to elect
as members an additional democrat
and one insurgent conferences were
held throughout the day between
members of the various factions
after which republican organization
and democratic leaders said an
agreement might be reached where-
by the minority would be given an
additional seat, making the commit-
tee membership seven republicans
and five democrats,

This is the ratio democrats in-
sisted upon when congress convened
with the republican majority in the
house greatly reduced. The repub-
lican committee on committees
however, decided that the appor-
tionment which prevailed in the
sixty- seventh congress should con-
tinue, and the revolt today on the
part of the democrats largely was
the result of this action,
