Within stone S throw of this

speeders may be in this court for kill

The speeders left the court room in
little file.
They were taken into the morgue

Then they went back to court.
" We've learned our lesson,'' they
said.

TROUBLE BREWING IN
LOWER CALIFORNIA
Caranza Gathering Troops
1t Is Believed to Depose
Governor Cantu

Calexico, Cal, Aug. 27.-The arrival
today of three hundred additional Car
rama soldiers at Las Bolsa, on the
Colorado river, seventy miles below
Calexlco, swelling the garrison there to
$50, has climaxed the feeling of ap-
prehension that trouble, long pending,
is about to materialize and that Gov
ernor Estaban Cantu is to be deposed
by force of arms.
The Carranka garrison, augmented
today, has been brought up of recent
weeks from the west coast by boats on
the Gulf of Mexico and thence by
horse. 1t is excellently armed with ma
chine guns and light artillery.
Immediately the report reached the
Mexican officials across the line at
Mexicali, Lieutenant Barranco, Treas
urer Tomas Belendez, Pablo Dato,
Cantu s father-in-law, and other off
cials of Cantu's government left for
Ensenada to consult the governor.
1t is believed by many that the long
planned scheme of Carranza to remove
Cantu and set Rudolpho Guyegas up
as governor with full complement Of
Carranza appointees, is about to ma
terialize.
Cantu will fight. Americans in touch
with his regime vouchsafe this opinion
He has an army at Mexicali of five
hundred well equipped and well drill
ed soldiers, with machine guns and
light cannon. Other garrisons bring his
strength up to approximately
one thousand.
The reported individual power Can

HOPING TO
DEFEAT THE GIANTS
Are Nine Games Behind But
Are Putting Up First Class
Article Of Ball
(By II. O. Hamilton)
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

Abhlttu' IfcSS fotdII correspondent
New York, Aug. 27.-While the eyes
of the baseball world have been firm
ly fixed ON the fast action around the
top of the American league, the Phil
lies are ejecting some zip in the Nation
al league battle.
The Philadclphians are playing bet
ter ball than the Giants. In the last few
days they have clipped off four and a
half games from the Giants lead and
row stand nine games in the rear.
That s considerable lead for a team like
the Giants, but the fact that the Phil
lies and New Yorkers are yet to clash
in nine games is giving hope to sup
porters Of the Moran clan.
The Pennsylvania aggregation would
have to travel along at ZOO clip the
rest of the season if the Giants do no
better than TO make 800 percentage
for the remainder of their games, in or
der to win the pennant. 1t is hardly
likely that the team John McGraw
has pieced together will be so rash as
to play such loose ball.
The Cardinals will offer the resis.
tance today to Philadelphia and the
Giants will be entagled with the Pi-
rates. The Pittsburg team is gradually
becoming something more than joke
and will supply some entertainment for
The McGraw team. 1t also will be tough
for a few days for the Phillies.
The Red Sox will be getting a hard
est today and tomorrow in Detroit. The |
,nfeebled Yankees will be offering all
he resistance possible to the White
Sox.

sifnifieance Of the Moscow conference.
"There now remains no doubt that
the Moscow conference has proved a
success and served the purpose it was
intended for. The enthusiastic reception
given Kerensky's strong speech and the
failure of the extremist faction to cause
any serious disturbance or gain the car
of any appreciable part of the popula-
tion seems to confirm belief in the i'm
possibility of any serious counter reve
lutionary movement. This applies to any
possible plans of votaries of the old
regime as well as extremists"

century, being forbidden by the church

The pageant chosen for the inaugu-

was written by Mrs. Christian Hem
mick of New York city, who was sup
ported by number of eminent Amerl-

Hemmitk of her theater:
The government supports every
form of art but the drama. 1t encour-
ages and supports public Libraries, it
maintains art galleries, it has even
gone on record as appropriating money
TO support music Witness the United
States Marine band in Washington.
1.-The drama, the greatest of all these
arts in the scope of its appeal, has
been neglected by the government. The
theater itself Is one of the most potent
factors in American life and reaches
more people daily than all the schools,
churches. libraries and art galleries
combined These facts, of course are
driven home to anybody who has lived
abroad and has seen the support and
recognition the drama receives from
continental nations.
aside from this aspect OF the thea

stage has always proved most power
