COTS AND BOSTON CULTURE
Los Angeles Matron Had Trouble In

"Apropos of Boston and her RS"
said Los Angeles matron. 81 had a
very funny experience with them both
last year. We were living in a cramped
fiat in Boston. and 1 needed a small
cot-bed for Harry. who was four years
old. So went to furniture dealers.

cots. The obliging clerk. however. d.
rected me to store on another street,
where, he assured me. I would find
plenty of cots.

shop. and though slightly taken aback,
I walked right in.

There seems to be a growing ten
dency in legislatures and in congress
to take a number of whacks at news
papers. The occasion is due to some
politician having it in for some par
ticular newspaper, and, to get even, he
is willing to enact laws to injure the
business of all of the newspapers in
the state or nation. AS about ninety
per cent of the other politicians have
a like crouch against some newspaper
which may have opposed them. the
idea of legislating against the news
paper meets with more or less ready
response They dare not tackle the
constitutionally granted right OF free
speech by the press, but, they say:
1--WE can cripple them by Legislation
and put them out of business Sup
pose this was done. Put all of the
newspapers of this or any other coun-
try out of business, and how long
would that country be on the publicity
map? Not thirty seconds. Even
while these mush-headed idiots were
dreaming they were elected to legis-
lature or a congress merely to get
even with some newspaper. they and
their departments are burdening the
mails with dead beat publicity STUFF
which they are willing to release upon
receipt! Think of the gall of it, and
the shame of it!

Wonder what became of the Colo
RADIO Editorial Associations threat to
initiate a two and three cent railroad
fare in Colorado. 1t seems to have
gone glimmering, like most other
things of legislative merit in this fair
state, though some of them do not
die quite so early in the game. So
far, with the aid of an Interstate
Commerce Commission, a State Util-
tiles Commission and various home
organizations collecting cash to fight
railroad rate, the charges continue
to advance and now the companies
have added ten or twenty per cent
for cash on board train. The people
who travel and those who pay the
freight have not apparently been ben
efitted a particle, although the an
nouncement is periodically made that
effective work along such lines has
resulted in reductions. Has it? Ask
anyone who receives package OF
goods, or a thousand packages, by
IreiSht, anu Sel the dhs"oi. iho.eau
of reducing rates the railroads are
demanding the privilege of increas-
ing them, and then in certain cases
increasing, whether formally granted
the privilege or not. Organization is
a good thing when it is made effec-
tive, but in Colorado. like the states
legislature. it seems to be largely a
four flush proposition.

Getting Scarce
In Mexico CITY
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 13.-zapata forces
have destroyed the waterworks in
Mexico City, the food famine has be-
come more critical, and indications
are that Carranza forces may soon
evacuate, according to official advices
today.
Officials here are much concerned
over reports during the last three days.
With lack of food and unrest in the
population, and because Mexico City is
of no great strategic Importance, it is
feared the place may be left without
semblance of authority at any mo-
ment.
Advices to the state department
from Piedras Negras report that on
Thursday Villa troops evacuated Mon
clova and moved south, Carranza
forces occupying the town without
resistance.
The Spanish minister, expelled from
Mexico City by Carranza, went board
the battleship Delaware as a guest OF
Captain Rogers but will sail for Ha-
vana, February Is on a. Spanish liner.

United States would accept the Ger

even recognizes that from the AM

raised are quite justified.
1t Is declared however that Ger

viewpoint. Various officials, whose
opinion has been sought, profess to
see no elements Of danger In the sit

tlon without involving difficulties be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.

UNITED STATES RECEIVES
NO ADVANCES FROM SPAIN

Washington, Feb. 13.-The United
States government has received no APP
plication from Spain for joint action
with other nations In the Mexican sit
uation, Secretary Bryan said tonight.
He added that no intimation had
reached the state department that such
action was contemplated.
Attaches OF the Spanish embassy
here said no word had been received
from Madrid as to the decision OF the
cabinet to address communication to
the powers on the subject It is pre-
stunned the action is based on the ex-
pulsion OF Jose Caro-, Spanish minis
ter from Mexico by General Carranza.
United States officials declined to
speculate on the probable course OF the
American government until the nature
of Spain's suggestions are fully known.

Why Resignation
of Federal ,Ldee
Was Forthcoming
BY ASSOCIATED FREss.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Feo. 13.-The
circumstances attending the resigna,-
ton of the late John ]. jacobson from
the bench as federal district Judge in
the northern district Of West Virginia
were detailed today in testimony be-
fore the congressional subcommittee
investigating the official conduct of
Judge A. G. Dayton, of the same court
John T. McCraw, democratic ma
tional committeeman for West Vir-
GINA testified he had been among
Judge Jackson's personal friends and
knew he intended to resign. John H.
Holt, an attorney, refused to say posi-
lively whether or not Judge Dayton or
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad had
taken any active part in forcing the
Jackson resignation.
Questions put to George w. Johnson,
also an attorney, concerning a trip to
Washington about the time Judge
Jackson resigned, brought out nothing
concerning the latter's determination
to leave the bench. Johnson, who had
been referee In bankruptcy, was ques-
toned concerning Judge Daytons con-
duct toward attorneys in his court
and declared that SO harshly had
Judge Dayton spoken and so severe
had been his criticism that the mat
ter was brought to the attention of
the bar association, representatives of
which conferred with Judge Dayton.
In answer to another question John
son said Judge Dayton had made re-
marks about John T. McGraw but said
they were not nearly so harsh as had
been reported.
