Buck and Harris believe that they
intended to land the 50 cans of opium
here, cache it safely away and then
buy as many more cans at MeXicali,
smuggling it across by means Of the
jacket worn under their clothing.
The suit cases found in the mems
rooms will nearly double the guam
tity of opium confiscated last night
and that fact coupled with the large
amount of money on McGee's person,
has led Inspector Buck to believe that
the smugglers were planning a grand
coup.
Last night Inspector Buck received
information that a large quantity of
opium was being sold at Mexicali. Be-
fore 9 o'clock last night stage driven
by Joe Delany was stopped at Heber
and the officers climbed aboard. Their
search was rewarded by the discovery
of the 65 tins of opium and McGee and
Dice were placed under arrest, to-

McGee is an experienced smuggler,
while Dice was acting only as a helper.
Large quantities of string taken
from the smugglers last night are
puzzling the officers. In the suit
cases searched this morning they found
still more string which bore evidence
of having been used, but neither of the
officers are able to determine just
what it was used for
McGee, the Inspector said, is an opium
addict, but his outfit was not found

"NEE" MAY BE CORRECT

From the New York Times.
 Something of comment has been excited among those wise in the forms and fash ions of that part of society where, of the many ways to do thing, only one has that quality of rightness ascribed by MT Kipling to about all the ways there are of writing tribal lays. The cause of the comment is the wording of the cards sent out to give notice of the Presidents mar riage.
 On these cards the Presidents name ap- pears as 'Mr. Woodrow Wilson," and to that even the most captious do not object, but the Mrs. Norman Galt' that accom- panies it comes in for a certain amount of questioning as to the as-it-should-be- ness of the Norman in the circum- stances, and open criticism, amounting al- most to protest. results from the addi- ton to the Mrs. Norman Galt'' of "nee Edith Boiling
 According to the fussy folk, the Presi- dents bride was born Boiling, but not an Edith, and therefore they draw a long face over the use of "nee.' Their grief is comprehensble. and they have excuse for finding fault, but are they quite sure that Mrs. Wilson was not named before she was born?

Peace Not in Sight
effect.

The end of the war is not in sight, but the Christmas day truce was, nevertheless, impressive. The indica- tions are that there will be little fight ing during the Christmas tide, but preparations for a continuance of the war go on with renewed activity. The British government is calling for a million additional men for military service.
 Many observers of the war have been predicting that mediation for peace would begin not later than Feb ruary, but there is nothing upon which to base such forecast. Both sides are longing for the conflict to be over, but neither side is ready to propose terms that would be accepted.
 England is desperate and will bend every energy to have the allies win at least one signal victory in the com ing spring. Not few military critics say that all the great battles of the war have been fought, but English leaders hold to the notion that the bloodiest is yet to come.

From Life.
 Equal parts of Henry James and Rob- ert Chambers.
 He steadied himself for moment, look ing upward with that dogged persistency which had served him well all these years: then, resolutey in the mist of a half consciousness, he mounted the steps. Seemingly not knowing the stern fate that held him captive, he took out his key ring. It seemed almost like a mockery, but after one or two trials the massive door swung open and he entered. The light was dim.
 He stared about him, but even then, with utter fatuity of his extraordinary escapade, he did not sense his mistake; he did not know that he had used the wrong key.
 He groped along the upper hall, a wild premonition of coming disaster haunting him. But that dumb persistency, that luckless urging. kept him going. Sud- denly he opened the door. There was a slight scream, then louder. He stood face to face with

Reserve Board Bars Politics

The federal reserve board acted wisely in adopting a resolution closing the door of the reserve bank system to politicians.
 In a short preamble the board stresses it's opinion that persons hold ing political or public office in the service of the United States or any state or territory" or persons acting as members of political party commit tees, cannot, consistently with the spirit and underlying principles of the reserve act, serve as directors or of- ficers of the federal reserve banks. A resolution giving effect to the boards views was unanimously adopted.
