MAYOR AND CABINET
ROOT HARD FOR PILLS
'Victory Will Be Good Omen
for a Continuance of Clean
Administration"

Aside from electing George d. Porter
Mayor of Philadelphia, Mayor Blanken-
burg and his cabinet feel that a fitting
climax to four years of service to the peo-
pie of Philadelphia would be the triumph
in the impending struggle with the Red
sox for the baseball supremacy of the
world.
The clean ball played by the Phils dur
ing their fight for the National League
pennant bears a close relation to the
clean administration rendered Philadel-
phia by the Mayor and his associates.
And IL the Phillies shatter the hopes OF
the Red Sox in the worlds series II will
show the value of clean playing and will
be regarded as a good omen by the re-
form forces for success In the mayoralty
campaign.
I'm not what you would call a warm
fan" said Director Ziegler, OF the Depart
ment OF Public Health and Charities.
"But 1 would like TO see the Phillies win
If had some tickets TO watch them
do It,"
'If watching the Phillies win is a
requisite of wishing them to win will
be for the Phillies," said Director Cooke,
of the Department OF Public Works, when
told OF his colleagues predicament For
1 have the tickets and am going there
TO see them win"
The Mayor. who is a real fan. said
nothing would please him better than to
see the Phillies beat the sRed Sox. That's
a good idea," he said referring TO the
linking together of Porter's election and
the Phillies victory.
Director Taylor Is too busy pushing
forward his plans OF rapid transit to
let the worlds series interfere especially
with business. 'I'll have 10 give the
matter careful consideration" The Phil
lies elinched the National League cham
pionship a few days after the Director
started actual work on the high-speed
line program. And the tube up Broad
street viii help the Phillies win pennants
and draw crowds as long as Alexis old
soupbone stands the strain.

MARINES SAIL TO AID
AMERICANS IN MEXICO
Howard's Men Will Protect
Colonists From Yaquis-No
Invasion, Says Washington.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, June 17.-With bat
plenty of ammunition aboard, the flag
ship Colorado, of the Pacific fleet, sailed
from here today for Lobari Bay, Mexico,
carrying 900 marines and bluejackets to
protect Americans in the Yaqui valley.
WASHINGTON, June 17.--Neither ''in-
tervention" in the Mexican situation nor
invasion" of Mexico is contemplated by
the United States, nor can they be con-
strued from the orders given Admiral
Howard to take 600 marines and blue
jackets into Mexico near Guaymas to
rescue an American colony threatened
by an uprising of Yaqui Indians, it was
emphatically and officially declared by
high officials today.
They stated that the orders to Howard
should not and could not be regarded as
indicating a change in the Administra-
tion's "hands-off" Mexican policy, or even
as a short step toward armed interven-
ton. 1t was pointed out that similar
orders were given three weeks ago. when
the Yaquis went on the warpath against
the same colony OF American and other
foreign ranchers, but the revolt was then
subdued by Mexican soldiers without the
aid of American naval forces, At that
time General Maytorena, Villista COM
mander welcomed cooperation of the
American forces, and promised to work
with any marines who should be landed.
Admiral Howard was due to sail today
from San Diego on the battleship Colo
RADIO, taking 800 marines from the San
Diego barracks, for Tobari Bay, just
south of Guaymas and only "a miles from
where the American coIonists are being
besieged by the Yaquis, who are about
400 strong and we'll armed. None of the
foreigners have been killed, according TO
official reports, but the Indians have raid
ed several ranches and fired shots at the
tenants.
AS an indication that the American
forces are only authorized TO protect and
rescue the foreigners threatened, 1t is
noted that HowRrd's orders specifically
state he shall. before sending troops in
land. endeavor TO hold friendly negotia-
tions with the Yaquie. and in no circum-
stances shall any territory be occupied.
we are offering asylum aboard our
ships to such American settlers in the
Yaqui Valley as wish to come out" Sec
retary Daniels said "and We are offering
them a guard, II one be required, for the
journey to the coast. Most of these set
tiers were assisted in getting out about a
year and half ago. and they have since
returned TO the valley"
Admiral Howard is due to reach Quay
mas Sunday night.

tors into the clouds and blew northeast
over the city. A moving picture operator
from Lubln's turned a crank industri-
ously during the scene, and when the
