NEW YORK, August e. The

best, both in the Davis cup pre-

tournament at Wimbledon is bound
to have a very strong effect IN

CANTU MATTER

By ALBERTO q. MONTENEGRO,
Acting Mexican Consul at NogaIes
Arizona.
In view of the conflict which has
lately arisen between the Provisional
Government of Mexico, headed by
Mr.. Adolfo de la Huerta, and Colonel
isteban Cantu, Governor of the
Northern District of Lower Cali
fornia, l deem it my duty to give a
full report to the press of this coun-
try in order that public opinion may
guide its judgment, as well as that
of Governor Cantu.
The conditions which have caused
the open rebellion c. Governor Can't,
against the central government Of
Mexico are the following: The Pres
ident of the Republic, in exercise of
his legal powers, asked an accounting
from Cantu Of the federal funds COL
lected in Lower California by him
and his agents, and also ordered that
the saloons be run in accordance with
the federal law and that gambling
and other forms of vice prevalent
there be suppressed, but these re-
quests have been refused by Cantn
under various pretexts. In this con-
nection it must be borne in mind that
lower California is a territory, and
as sucn the executive there is dir
ectly responsible TO the president of
the republic and can be removed by
him at any time.
Mr.. Cantu pretends to justify his
disobedience and lack of discipline On
his misguided favor as a ruler, which
imposes upon him the duty of defend
ing and protecting the interests Of
tie people of the Northern District
OF Lower California, winch to his
mind would pc IN jeopardy by his re-
moval from the governorship OF the
li' ntioned district.
In view of the foregoing, it Can
readlly be reasoned that tile rebellion
of Governor Cantu has no justifIca-
ton, nor legal basis and is only
founded upon supposed oprehension
t, at after his removal there would
come d crisis preiudicial to the in
terests of his people. These fears
of Governor Cantu are only appar-
ent, for what has really, led him tc
rebellion are the interests created tor
his peesonal profit and that of OIL
garchial group which surrounds him,
and not the interests of the communi-
ty which could never be placed III
Jeopardy by a government like that
of Mr.. de la Huerta, which has CIV
en sufficient proofs during short b1t
efficiert life of sincerity and respect

that the attitude of Colonel Gsntu

of medico-legal authorities. lhlS
discovery is ba ,cd not On mere
theory, but on the comparative num-
her of men and women suicides after
the age of thirty-five.
wife undoubtedly becomes more
nleasant and attractive to women
after tnev have reached this age.
More young women commit sulcloe
between the ages of fifteen and
to,rty-1ive than young men, but once
-1n,rtv-tive is attained the position Is
-ntirely reversed.
"Men suicides are largely IN the
majority"
Or. Uldfield thinks the reason "o-
men are so much-happier after thlrIy-
i've is because they nave passeu the
ideals of girlhood and reached als-
i,iusionment. They have reached the
stage where family ties become more
