Former Capt. Robert Hardell says
that Techs squad is small IN compari-

tagging interest in track work cannot
be accounted for. The school boasts a

Gish took hold OF the Tech team two
wears ago. and since than has put out
teams that have improved each season.
The material is good and has bean de-

where Tech is ready and web equipped

Coach Gish has brought out both the

It is doubtful il q better half-miler

schools than Sheehan. The Irunsster
cracked the existing record in the half
with ease last spring, while Elmer
Hardell set new figures for the quarter.
Performances such as these show the

OPEN BALLOT BOXES
TO VERIFY NAMES
OF KEARNY VOTERS
Town Officials Examine Peti-
tions for Commission Rule
After Getting Court Order.

Town Clerk William b. Ross, ot
Kearny, today began the work ot
polling the petition recently filed by
the Kearny Commission Government
League to ascertain whether or not
those who signed are qualified voters
of the town. The ballot boxes used
at the last election have been opened
and poll books taken therefrom.
An order permitting the opening of
the boxes was granted by Supreme
Court Justice Francis J. Swayze, upon
the application of Mayor Robert e.
Torrance and Town Clerk William b.
Ross, of Kearny a total of SSi
names must be canvassed by the
clerk. The petitions seek n special
election to determine whether or not
kearny will have commission gov
ernment.
In order for the clerk to call the
election it will be necessary for 500
bona fide signers to have affixed their
signatures to the petition. Whether
or not there will be this number when
the canvassing is completed is a
question.
Another feature in connection with
the petition signing is the fact that
Clerk Ross is daily receiving letters
from persons whose names appear on
The petitions and who desire them re-
moved therefrom. Mr. Ross said to-
day that he did not know what course
he would take regarding the requests
made Members OF the Commission
League declare the clerk has no legal
right to erase the names of petition
ers even though requested to do so.

HUERTA CENSOR
IS SURPRISING
ALL CRITICISM
No Dispatch Unfavorable to
Government Allowed to
Get Out of Capital.

MEXICO CITY, April Is, via Hav-
ana, April 22.-(The following dispatch
was sent by mail to Havana in order
to avoid the censorship established
by General Huerta, which is more
strict than at any time heretofore)
Every telegraph wire out of Mex
leo City, commercial, railroad, or
cable, is now watched over by cen
sor, chosen from among the most re-
liable and intelligent men in the gov
ernment telegraph service These
censors frankly inform would-be
senders of dispatches that it is not a
question of the yeracity Of messages
nor whether they disclose military
but is merely a question
of suppressing all news not favorable
to the government.
Code Messages Prohibited
Code messages are absolutely pro-
hibited, with the exception only or
bank kilograms. The bankers of
Mexico succeeded in having the em-
barge on these messages raised, but
only after they had proved that the
detention of the dispatches would
seriously embarrass the financial de-
partment of the government.
Newspaper correspondents We're
given to understand that II they were
detected in using subtertuges to
evade the censorship they would find
themselves in Jail.
While Nelson OShaughnessy was
acting as the messenger of the
United States government to Provi-
sional President Huerta in the en-
deavor to avert war between the two
countries, more than ninety-nine per
cent. of the Mexican residents in the
Federal capital went about their
affairs in total ignorance of the
crisis.
All Negotiations in Secret
General Huerta and his official
family cleverly concealed even from
their intimate friends all knowledge
of strained relations between Mexico
and the United States. The general
public was even more in the dark,
since the newspapers published col
umns of glowing accounts of vic
tories by the Federal armies In the
north.

that her son had not been killed.

was great. Today she wept and

robbed her of sleep last night.

me John was wounded l felt sure he
was dead. 1t seemed to me they
would not bother me If he was only
wounded Now, though, | am salts

him soon again. Thank God, he is not

Place who is twenty, has been in
the navy three years. His term of

his youth, but his mother. realizing

After leaving school Place obtained
employment as an office boy in the

years ago. Then he became an ap-
