WASHINGTON December 20. -
Through the oequest of vi. Kiyuin
Wellington Koo, Chinese Minister to
the United States and Mexico, and in
absence of Chinese consuls or repre-
Sentatives in the state of Sonora,
Mexico, the State Department has
undertaken to exert it's good offices
for protection of Chinese residents
transaeting business at Cananea, and
other points in Sonora, who are
threatened with serious trouble, and,
perhaps great financial loss, at the
hands Of loial officials; and the State
Department has taken up the matter
with the American consuls in So
nora, instructing them to make pro-
per representations in the matter to
the state authorities, asking their in
t ention for protection of Chinese
resGt,ts.
AS the matter is related the presi-
dent Ca functionary corresponding to
an American mayor) has ordered all
Chinese stores in Cananea closed on
January 1st, and is reported to be
ready to back his order with force.
There is no little feeling against the
Chinese in that camp. and a number
of minor acts of violence against
them have been reported, such as
stoning windows and breaking up
personal property. The Chinese
Minister fears the temper of the
masses at these places where trouble
is threatened may make the situation
really serious.
The instructions of the State De-
partment to consuls is that they make
representation to the state govern
ment of Sonora that in the absence
of the necessary consular and acredit-
ed miniStered

of the necessary consular and diplo-

lies, has asked the good offices of the
United States, which are extended;
and to call attention of the state gov
ernment of Sonora to the fact that
all Chinese within the boundaries of
that state are there by virtue of a
solemn treaty made between the Re-
public of Mexico and the Republic of
China, and that under the terms of

adequate protection. Furthermore,
the consuls are instructed to protest
against such contemplated action as
is reported from the presidente at
Cananea, as in violation of the treaty,
which if persisted in may lead to very
grave consequences to all concerned.
Cat late hour last night "The
Oasis" called the American consulate
at Nogales, Sonora. and read the
telegram printed above, which had
been just received. The consul, Mr..
Francis J. Dyer, stated that he be-
lleves the Press telegram is sub
stantially in accord with the facts:
and that he had communicated the
suggestion of the State Department
at Washington to Governor de la
Huerta. Mr.. Dyer stated further
that he is confident that Governor de
la Huerta, with his well known Dip
lomatic experience and training, with
his broad and liberal views, will
grasp the full meaning of the situa-
tion, and will extend to the Chinese
merchants and others of that ma
! tionality at Cananea, full protection
under the law, and complete re-
cognition of their rights under the
treaty between Mexico and China.)

ALL HAVE PETS

If suddenly the public taste should
change from a desire to see pretty
women on the stage to trained
animals. A. B. Marcus, whose "Oh
Baby" is famed mainly for the
pulchritude of it's Peach Chorus, won't
be left out in the cold anyhow. He
will just set the pets of the choristers
and principals to work letting their
mistresses remain as trainers. Their
isn't a miss with the show who don't
boast some pet-not husbands either.
There are twenty-one dogs, two cats,
pair of white mice, an alligator, a
goat and chameleon with the show.
A portion of one of the baggage cars
is set aside for their comfort.

John 7. Brickwood was at Nogales,
from the Old Soldier Camp yester-
day. Mr. Brickwood reports he is

WASHINGTON, December 29-
Protesting against what he character
lied as "gag rule" Senator Gronna
(Republican) of North Dakota re-
Gently waged spirited but, futile
battle in the Senate against Majority
Leader Lodge and his hand-picked
Pepublican steering committee.
~ Senator Gronna's anger was reused
Wi = Senator Jones presented bill
with the remark that the steering
committee had reached an agreement
that it be considered as unfinished
business.
"I do not believe it is fair for the
majority to adopt rule of this kind"
retorted Senator Gronna. "I do not
believe it is fair to the members Of
the majority, without conference of
all the members, to say what the leg
islative programme shall be, and 1
know it is not fair to the members
of the minority.
"a very few Senators might in this
way control legislation absolutely.
If it is followed out, you can say alb
solutely what bills shall pass, what
bills shall not be considered, and as
one member on this side I resent it..
| say now to those who are leaders
on this side that we do not have a
majority so large but that you are
endangering our leadership if you are
going to force this rule upon US.
eff you are going to force upon us
what l will call gag rules of this sort
I shall never, so long as l am mem
ber of this body support a movement
of that kind. What right have two
or three Senators, because they are
put upon a steering committee, to
say which bills shall be taken up and
which bills shall not be considered.
81 had something to dQswith the
organization on this side; have some
responsibility for the organization;
and it was not with the understand
ing that a small coterie should get
together and decide upon which bills
Should be taken up for consideration.
eff you are going to proceed upon
the unjust theory Of saying that two
or three Senators who may be mem
bers of this so-called steering COM
mittee shall decide what bills are to
be considered, I want to give notice
right now that / shall not be party
to it."
In the discussion that followed
Senator Lodge explained that the
steering committee was appointed by
him under resolution adopted by the
Republican conference and Senator
Brandegee said "I do not even know
who compose our honored steering
committee"
Senator Gronna was over-ridden in
his fight and it was agreed to take
up the measure proposed by Senator
Jones.

81 question whether there has ever
been more interest manifested in a
theatrical attraction than that which
surrounds the forthcoming engage
ment of the big Marcus Show Of
1919-20 in 'Oh Baby, " is the asser-
tion of Frank Diamos manager of the
Lyric Theatre. "We now have hum
dreds of mail orders for seate and
the advance sale at the Border News

several days off. l honestly believe
that we will have to disappoint
many"
} Reports from other cities that have
fbeen visited recently by the attire
ton, travellers who have seen the
show and "feed box info" to the local
management indicate that the pur-
chasers of pasteboards will be well
rewarded. All signs point to one of
the biggest and most attractive ex-
hbitions within the ken of local
theatregoers.
In the cast supporting Mike Sacks

Mons. Roland Zermain, whose "Danse
d'Eve" ARTISTS Model" and "Gates
of Araby" have seldom if ever been
equalled as terpsichorean spectacles
on the American stage.
"Oh Baby" is caparisoned with an
evident disregard of expenditure.
There are seventeen scenes and each
displays an opulence that borders on
the profligate. Nearly thousand
gowns, frocks and costumes are worn
during the unfolding of the gor-
geous harlequinade.
