cult of sun worshipers went to trial be-
fore Federal Judge Mack today, on an
indictment charging him with sending

the green book" containing Hanish's
wierd teachings, will be introduced In

District Attorney Stansbury announced
when the jury box was filled with ven
irmen. Upon passages in these books
the government hopes to prove the
cult leader guilty on charge that
carries with 1t pententiary sentence
and .Cle of $1,000. Hanish had to push
his way through crowd that packed
the court room when he appeared. The
cult leader cast complacent smile
about the court room and settled lazily
into chair beside his attorneys. His
iron gray hair falling to his shoulders
made him the most conspicuous person
in tie room. Federal authorities today
refused to confirm the story that three

said to be Mrs Elizabeth Lindsay. a

Hanish and 1t was the search for him
that led to the raid on the Hanish

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.--The pIi-
yate interests are organized, therefor
thew are powerful Only when the
public interest is organized will the
supremacy of common interest be
universally recognized.
Thus did Miss Margaret Wilson,
the presidents daughter, today sum
up the pivotal point in the moyems Mt
for use of the nations school houses
as social centers, in an exclusive in
terview accorded today to the United
Press. Miss Wilson has had an op-
portunity to study the plan during a
visit to Madison, Wis, and sees in it
closer study by the people of gov
ernmental economic and political
problems.
"The machinery for this organiza-
ton of public interest is the common
school system with every school
house used as social center" said
Miss Wilson. Every school building
should be made the polling pace Of
It's district. And then the voting body
OF each district should be organized
into deliberative body for the free
discussion of public questions.
1T seems to me automatic that
there should be the same provision
for all sides of discussion on the part
Of citizens before they vote, that
there is for aide rnen state legisla-
tors Or any other agents OF the citi-
zens.
Where, as in Los Angeles, Milwau-
kee, Grand Rapids and other cities
the school houses are used as poll
ing places, the plan is economical,
convenient and helpful to the educa-
tional service of the schools. And
where, as in Wisconsin, the state law
directs the school boards to provide
for the free use Of school buildings
for the voters common council cham
bers -parliaments of the peop,e-ths hs
feasibility of this plan has been es-
taollshed by two years successful
demonstration. Not only should the
school be provided without charge
but the paid service Of clerk or
civic secretary should also be furn
ished-just as this service is furn
ished for the meetings of aldermen
legislators and other sus-committees
Of citizens.
This program OF citizenship organ
lzation, through the use of schoo
houses as social centers is the con
secutive and common way to voice
many of our problems. The first
logical step would be the use of these
buildings as recreation centers-ant
mat is great part OF the answer t.

communities

WASHINGTON, Nov. 321.-Ameri-
can marines may be landed on Mex
lean soil without that act being con-
strued as an act of war. The action
of Lord Cowdray, head of the great
British oil combine, may force this
step. Cowdray has demanded pro-
lection for his enormous interests in
Mexico. But he is chiefly concerned
about the big wells in the Tuzpam-
Tampico region, numbering nearly
100. And Secretary of State Bryan

He is expected to make forcible rep

that foreign property interests must
be respected. If he is defied then it I
will be up to Fletcher.
/ The policy pursued in Central Amer
lea of landing marines to do police
duty may be pursued.
There are many precedents for this
and all show that such action has
never been considered armed inter
