BICYCLE RIDER

Howard Earl Meets With Accident
on the Corner of Seventh and
Concert Streets Last
NiQht

, Howard Earl the e1even-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Earl, Of
1923 North Thirteenth street, was run
over by an automobile last night
shortly after 10 o'clock and was
rather badly bruised up.
He went back to school this morn
ing with a cut on the back of his leg
and another small one on the back
of his head, in addition to number
of bruises on his arms, the back Of
his shoulders and back Of his ear.
Later in the morning the lad re-
turned home, unable to stick it out,
as his jaw became swollen and added
considerably to his miseries.
The boy was riding out Seventh
street on his bicycle and collided
with the car, which was coming from
the direction of Eighth and Concert
streets. People who saw it were
hardly able to tell how it happened, but
it seems as if the child was pushed
under the car in some manner.
The machine was a Ford roadster.
E man named Parker, living at 72s
Concert street, was driving, and
there were two women passengers
in the car, also.

Iunited Press Leased Wire Service, ]
PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 16.-Geie-
bration in Arizona of Mexican indie
pendence day today, was limited and
largely under the supervision Of
state officers, as result of action by
Governor Campbell of Arizona.
The governor declared that he
deemed the celebration of the Next
can holiday in any Of the border
states very imprudent" owing to
unrest and feeling over the Mexican
situation.
The governor acted after receiving
a protest from Mexican Consul P.
Valdez at Clifton, Arizona, against
the order Of the county sheriff for
bidding any speech making except in
the English language. High feeling
at Clifton was made more intense by
a recent roundup of fifteen alleged
anarchists who are now in jail there.
Governor Campbell conferred yes
terday with F. Peredo, Mexican con-
sui at Phoenix and as result all
features of the proposed celebration
here were cancelled excepting a bar
becue and dance.
