While Warren undressed, Helen

ties. Before Funston was aware of it
two of his subordinates, Cal Palmer,
the provost general, and Capt. Bam-
ford, the chief of police, had civ IN
permission to the gamblers to resume
their business.
1t was the newspaper correspondent
from Mexico City, who were familiar
with Mexican customs, that first made
General Funston aware of the mistake
which Plummer and Bamford nad
made.
Plummer and Bamford had been in
structed not to interfere more than
necessary with the mixed customs of
Mexico, in their government of Vera
Cruz and so, when they were assured
by the Spanish gamblers that open
gambling was fixed custom in Mex
leo they Immediately gave the holders

NEW YORK, June 14.-While for

offers to athletes in the United States
to appear in Europe this year, Ameri-

energies to secure foreign talent for

leading athletic clubs of this and other

the games to be held at the Panama

the country, and guarantees are be-

the men will accept offers to appear

There isn't much danger in the mo-

is what Tomo Moriarity, the star of

about the racing game. There may
not be much danger, as Tom says, but
all the samey no insurance company
will write a policy on the life of a
man in the racing game. Have your
sport, brother!

team this year. He had expected to
