 HOLSTER MORALITY

Following styles to an extreme, blaming the other fellow for what you are responsible for and the general excuses which are given by those who transgress the laws, was the subject of caustic criticism last night by Rev. Alfred H. Boutwell, from the pulpit of the Memorial Baptist church.
 In a text taken from the 33rd chap ter of Exodus and Inspired by the reading of a neWspaper headline: The Movies Made Her Steal" Rev. Bout well said that if one steals he cannot blame the movies for it, nor can the bank clerk who recently excused him self when arrested upon the plea, T have been working for dogs wages for years and am now, going to- get back at my enployerss'' be exculpated upon those grounds. He termed such. equivocatfon Lobster morality

BITTSH DIPLOMAT
 TRAVELS INCOGNITO

Vera Cruz, Mex, Feb. 16-A passen-, ger on the Esperanza, under the name of F. M. Davies and believed to be a bearer of despatches from King George to the British Legation at Mexico City, was Thomas Beaumont HohIer, the British Charge d Afraires. He de- parted on a special train. for the cap ita1, to relieve Sir Lionel Garden.
 The press here comments bitterly on the attack on Flag Lieut. Cook and at tempts to IdiscreS1it the story, saying that no one heard the shot. The writ1 CTS profess to think that the story has an ulterior motive, to justify the United States in the possible invasion of Mexican territory.
 Gen. Maas, the military commander here, admits that United States Rear Admiral Mayo addressed a. letter to him requesting immediate action. Maas says the chief of police has made careful investigation, but was uTl- able to locate the assailant. He thinks the question has no political sig nificance, but was the act Of a crank or intoxicated person
