AMIR OF AFGHANIsTAN HELPS TURKEY

The specter of a holy war is un-
folding itself before the eyes of Eu-
rope.
1t began when Italy clashed with
Turkey In Africa, and now that the
little Christian states, that act as
buffer between the larger powers and
Turkey, are at war, the cloud is dark
ening rapidly among all the Moham-
medan nations.
In the mosques Of India, the pago-
das of Malaysia and the shrines OF
dozen other nations prayers are being
said for the success of the Turkish
arms.
All Islam has thrown its religious
support to the kahlifate at CONSTANT

Of the Moslem faith, unfurl the green
flag of the prophet 1t is feared the
fanatic Mohammedan nations would
begin holy wars.

SinkhoIes of Crime in Paris.

Paris. April 29.-0ver the grave of the detective Jouin today, Louis Lepine. head of the Paris police, made an impassioned appeal that more severe punishment be meted out to criminals of the French cap ital.
 With d picture of yesterday s terrific battle at Choisy-Lerol m which two chiefs of the automobile bandits were killed, still in mind, the prefeet cried:
 Tn the sinkholes of Paris we have masses of criminals who have been punished enough to make them enemies of law and not pun ished enough to keep them rom warning against the authorities. We must choose between the sacrifice of the criminals liberty and the blood of men laboring vallantly Tor the protection of society
 The police are amazed at the discovery that hundreds Of anar- chists from all parts of Europe nave taken refuge in Paris.
 Jouin. who was buried yesterday. was an assistant superintendent oi police who was killed by bonnolL' the demon chauffeur.

DENIES THERE'S JAPANESE
 QUESTION IN MEXICO
New Ambassador From Country of Revolt Says Merely Concessions
 to Private Fishermen.

New York, April 29. There is
 no Japanese question in Mexico; and this talk about Japan and Mag dalena bay is ridiculous. Is is ab- surd that you Americans should be
 exercised about the granting of a Iprivate fishing concession to Jap anese.r
 These were the declarations of Manuel Calero, new Mexican ann bassador for the United States, when he was asked today about al- legged Japanese encroachments in western Mexico.
 Such concessions went on the ambassador, are held by the Eng fish. the Norweigans and the Mexi- cans; if is nothing more than a business in which the concession- aries are responsible to the Mexican and to no other government in the world
 The ambassador said that, be- fore he left Mexico City in response l to the Lodge resolution as to Jap anese activities in Magdalena bay, he made a report. The Senor was then foreign minister. The reports declare there is no truth in the nar- Iratives that have said the eonces-
 sions had anything to do with the Japanese government.
 Our dealings are with the con-
 cessionaries, and not the Japanese
 government, declared Senor Ca- | Hero. We are not so foolish as to do anything that would endanger our friendship with this great lcOuntry.'

THE WIND-UP OF COURT
Petit Jury Excused Today--Iudge Hon Leaves for His Home Non-Suit Taken in Dam-
 age Case.

The April term of Circuit court closed Friday afternoon. The petit jury was dismissed that morning and the remainder of the day was taken up in the hearing of eases before Judge Hon.
 One case came up over a raise made in the assessment by the equalization board on the property of the Cox Wholesale Grocery Company. After the increase had been made the grocery company took an appeal to the county court, and after hearing the case Judge Martin placed it back to S7,500, as it was originally given in. The equalization board had raised 1t to Si5,000, and appealed the case 10 the Circuit court. Today Judge Hon heard the case and sustained the action of Judge Martin in plac- ing it back at $500 as originally given in. Attorneys w. Priekett and J. l. Alley represented the Cox Wholesale Grocery Company and Attorney w. NJ. Pipkin represented the equalization board.
 Attorney k. J. Lundy, represents | ing Mabel NJ. Frye, secured judg- ment of S2,700 against the American Bonding Company as surety of John | ?. Logan, curator. The history of this case begins back when Gus Frye, a teamster and we'll digger working around Grannis, was killed by an explosion in a we'll near Grannis.
 Frye had Si0,000 insurance policy. John P. Logan, then cashier of the Bank of Grannis. was made curator to the estate, and made bond in the American Bonding Company. Later he received per- mission to loan the fund he held for one of Fryc's children. Mabel M.. to the Bank of Grannis.
 In the trial of the case 1t appear cd that the money was deposited in the bank, but held in the name of John P. Logan as deposit.
 Holding that this was not loan to the bank. which afterward failed, Judge Hon gave Judgment against the bonding company.
