FREE SPEECH ORATORS
DENIED USE OF HALLS
Tarytown Presidents Vain Effort to
Keep Promise Made to Upton
Sinclair.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, June 18-The
citizens of this village may be denied the
privilege of hearing the arguments of
Upton Sinclair and Leonard D. Abbott,
free speech advocates. though not through
any fault of President Frank R. Pierson
and majority Of the members of the
board Of municipal trustees, who promised
to hire a hall at their own expense to
settle for all time whether the people
wanted to hear the speakers. President
Pierson today admitted that 1t was doubt
full If hall could be obtained for the pro-
posed meeting, two Of the largest audi
forums In the village having been refused
him. and the remaining two. being public
buildings. they could not be used for the
purpose intended.
Abbott Is Insistent.
Meanwhile Abbott. who is president Of
the Free Speech League. insisted that he
intended to hold President Pierson to his
promise to hire hall, and Mr.. Pierson let
it be known that every effort would be
made to keep faith with Abbott and Sin
clair, although he declared in so doing
he and the village trustees We're acting. in
a spirit of broad mindedness and not be-
cause they believed the free-speech advo-
Gates had right to demand a permit to
hold a meeting.
Indicates Village Sentiment.
The failure Of President Pierson to OBJ
tain a hall as he had promised was
pointed out today as indicating the feel
ing in the village. 1t is felt that Abbott
and Sinclair should not have injected
their free-speech campaign into the situa-
ton created by the arrest of thirteen
members of the Industrial Workers of the
World who came here from New York
to heckle John D. Rockefeller. jr., regard
ing the Colorado mitA. strike.

Il would rather be flrst-class car
penter earning $3.50 day, contented
with my lot and paying my bills. than a
bank clerk at $40 a week and striving
ali my life to live respectfully. l would
rather be a bricklayer or plasterer 60

all my life trying to keep up the pace.
The most ahject man l know is the one
with a naughty demeanor and super-ed-
ucation who is too proud to work, ex-
cept his wits and his friends. There are
many men with fine educations who are

You boys must not be in that class.

Vera Cruz Gateway
OF City of Mexico

Vera Cruz is easily the most important
of Mexico's seaports, being the gateway
of the City of Mexico. Several years ago
the harbor was developed by Sir Weet-
man Pearsons Company. so that it now
has an area of about $50 acres and has
been dredged to a depth of 80 feet and
protected with a sea wall, within which
are so acres of made land.
Vera Cruz was founded by Cortez and
his conquistadores April IT, 1919, and
since ST. Augustine, Fla, was not found
ed until 1866, the Mexican port is the pa
triarch of American cities settled by Eu-
ropeans. Cortez gave the town the name
of villa Rica de la Santa Vera Cruz
THE Rich City of the Holy True Cross. ="
The occupation of Vera Cruz by Gen.
Scott was the first step in his campaign
against the city of Mexico in 1Si7, the
second year of our first war with Mex.
leo.
With a force of about 12,000 men he
landed near the city March and at once
started the work of investing the place.
Only about 4500 men formed the garrison
of the city and the fortress. the Castle
or San Juan de Ulua Tor Ulloa), but by
the Mexcans the latter, with its stout
stone walls, was regarded as invulner-
able
In four days the fortress and the city
were completely invested. and by March
20 all was ready for the bombardment.
AS a demand for surrender was refused,
this began, and for four days a line of
mortars hurled into the city shot and
shell to the total weight of 100000 pounds,
On March &c overtures of surrender
were made and three days later the
Americans occupied Vera Cruz. They
had lost II killed and Sc wounded, while
the Mexican loss in killed alone totaled
at least 1000, including many noncombat-
ants. With the city and fortress We're
captured about 500 pieces of artillery and
a large quantity of munitions of war; the
garrison, after surrendering their arms,
were allowed to retire on parole
For his success in taking the city
Gen. Scott gave much credit not only
to Gen. Joseph G. Totten, chief OF en-
gineers, but to that rising young en-
gineer officer, Capt. Robert E. Lee.
The town has also been taken at diff
ferent times by the French, English
and Spanish. For tourists 1t has
charm in winter, although the sum-
mers are too hot for comfort.
Miles of narrow streets are lined
with white or gayly decorated struc-
lures of the old style of Spanish archi-
lecture. There are palm plazas and
the avenues are lined with cocoanut
trees and statues.
The famous old San Juan de Ulua
was built by the Spaniards in 1852, at
such great expense that Charles V
declared 1t should, judged by it's cost,
be big enough to be seen from Spain.
In those days it was considered the
stronger fortress ir the world.
|. Vera Cruz is the cigar headquarters
of Mexico.
There are two railroad routes from
Vera Cruz to Mexico City. The short
er line is by way of San Yorenzo. Paw
on and Jalapa. The other route is by
way of Pueba, involving dip to the
south. The latter was the path OF
Cortez in the Conquest. The railroad
is the Inter-oceanic Of Mexico. The

shown range, alphabetically, from
apiary through brickyard, cannery,

There are $4,000 permits in force FOR

This figure does not include any of
the $1,000 permits in force for grazing
cattle and sheep in the forests; nor
the 5000 transactions for the sale or
timber, and the more than $4,000 per-
mits issued last year for the free use
of timber by settlers, miners, and
others in developing their homesteads
and claims; nor the nearly 300 permits
for water power development.
California led all the national forest
states in the number of these special
