CALEXICO, Aug. 14.-After nu-
merous rumors concerning the closing
of the border the deed has at last been
done, and scores of Saturday after
nooners are attempting to make the
customs officers believe that urgent
business is awaiting them on the
other side.
Passports avail not, and loud is the
wailing and weeping and gnashing CT
teeth. Only those residents of Mex
icali employed in Calexico, or thoss
residents of Calexico employed ir
Mexicali or persons having and being
able to prove legitimate and urgent
business are allowed to cross thc
line.
1t is said that this is result OF
the United States apprehension of ina-
mediate hostilities. No explanations
have been given, but the above is The
accepted reason by many.
A dispatch received today from
Mexico City says that Governor Cantr
is reported to be on his way to I.o:
Angeles, but Calexico advises report
that at 10 this morning Cantu was ir
Mexicali, and had apparently no i'll

MEXICALI, Aug. 14.-Negotia-

Miss Edith Blair and Commander

be in the wedding party. She would

NATOII<A TRIP RECALLS
VOYAGE OF FINLAND.

The stories Of the sailing of the
Matoika with the Olympic team-and
, three millionaire stowaways--who
couldn't get passage board have
set me to reminiscing, for this time
eight years ago I was on the char
tered steamer Finland, which took
the Americans to Stockholm. JOY
Gus trip it was, as well as tremen-
dous experience. and 1t will always
remain a treasured memory. And as
far as the team is concerned. one can
only wish for this "A. f. F. of peace
the success which crowned the enorts
of the American Olympic team which
competed in 1912.
At that olympiad the fairy god
father Of the American team was Col.
Robert NJ. Thompson, who chartered
the Finland and spent some $4,000
out of his own pocket on getting the
team across and caring for them after
thew reached Sweden. They lived
aboard ship, you may remember, all
the time the team was at stockholm,
the Finland riding lazily at her moor
inrs in the beautiful harbor of that
most charming Of cities. Many or
those who went over to witness the
historic games also had quarters
aboard the Finland, and there was
much merrime mt aboard the old Red
Star liner.
Colonel Thompson crossed on the
Finland and had a party OF guests
with him, including tive nieces and
creatnieces OF assorted ages and
sizes Rear Admiral and Mrs. Rich
ard Wainwright were also in the
party. Mrs. Thompson was already
| in Europe-or had crossed earlier on
