CAPE C0D CANAL IS CLOSED DOWN TODAY Question of Ownership Causes
 Queer Controversy COOLIDGE WIRES APPEAL
Wants Secretary Baker to Keep Canal Open in Order to Permit Arrival of Its Side.

Buzzards Bay, Mass, March l. The Cape Cod canal was closed today as a result of a controversy over it's ownership.
 Pilots and bridge tenders were with drawn when the railroad administra- tion relinquished control at midnight and Boston, Cape Cod and New York Canal Co.,, former owners, had issued no orders today to resume operations.
 Captain H. F. Colberth, general manager, said he would refuse pass age to vessels for lack of authority. He expressed the opinion however, that the situation would be ended soon by instructions which may have been delayed by storm belated mails. There were no vessels awaiting ad- mission at either entrances of the canal this morning but the general manager said he anticipated a large number during the day. Only in an emergency he thought would the canal be operated until he received definite orders.
 Mails by Ferry
 Mails were delivered by ferry this morning but otherwise the canal ceased functions. The canal was ready for orders to restart work at SlOTG nOClce. Ine 0IIoCC or the gov ernment's order relinquishing control Cautain Colberth explained was that of a ship placed out of commission with fires drawn but with the crew standing by.
 The difference beteween the gov- ernment and the canal company grew out of the question of the value of the canal.
 Government Seized Waterway.
 Unable to agree on a purchase price the government seized the canal by the right of eminent domain and entered suit to have a jury fix the price. The jury set the value of the canal at approximately S16.000,- 900. The government had offered $S250,00O for the canal. An appeal from the jury award was taken and is now pending. ..t.-.., s Governor Coolidge today sent to Secretary Baker a telegram asking, that the canal be continued in opera ton by the government to relieve the coal shortage.

Our Baby.
MRS. Chang, Mrs.Lee,
Mama has a small baby;
Stands up firm,
Sits up straight,
Won't eat milk,
But lives on cake"

Perhaps this is what Semoy Long
will sing to her little baby brother,
though he does not do any of these
things yet, for he is only two weeks
old. Her brothers name Is James
Theodore Long and a fine little
baby he Is. Semoy's and James
father is a native Chinaman, and
their mother is an American. Both
the children are said to have slant
ing eyes and other characteristics
of the Chinese.
Semoy, the only other child Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Long, is a little girl,
four years old. She is very much
in love with her little brother and
can scarcely wait till he gets home
from the hospital, where he is now,
so that she can watch him and hold
him and play with him. When she
first saw him, she wanted to take
him home right away.
Now, Semoy thought that all
babies were little girls and that
boys were always boys and never
babies at all. She thought this, be-
cause where she lived in Dayton,
there were five boys in the house,
so she thought all boys looked like
that, and so when she was told she
had little brother, she asked,
Isn't it baby?" and was very
much relieved to know it really
was baby. Semoy loves babies.
One Sunday, when Semoy was
visiting at the hospital, the nurse
put her cap and cuffs and wrist
watch on the little girl. This
pleased Semoy very much and she
did not want to go home at all. She
wanted to stay right there and be
a nurse.
Sometimes people take Semoy
for boy, she is so strong and so
lively; but, oh, woe to them if they
do! If they say, What nice lit
tie boy that isl" she will answer,
I'm not no boy; I'm lady" and
then she will never speak to that
person again.
Semoy and James Theodore are
the only Chinese children in Rich
mond as far as we know. They
have lived here about a month.

SCOUTS "Y TROOP
KNOWN RICHMOND

After putting his scouts through
a rigid "pathfinding" test, Monday
afternoon at the regular scout meet
ing, Scoutmaster Wilson, Boys
Secretary of the Y. M. c. A. has be-
come convinced that the scouts
know Richmond rather thoroughly.
They were asked to locate and
give clear directions for locating all
the most important buildings and
places in town. Later, maps of
Richmond will be drawn by the
boys as part of the Pathfinders'
test. The meeting was full of
spirit. The new U. S. flag and
scout emblems and badges were
voted the property of the troop at
this meeting. Howard Snyder COM
pleted his Tenderfoot test Perry
Botkin, new scout, was enrolled.
At this meeting of the troop, the
boys adopted the ruling that any
boy who is absent from the troop
for two regular meetings, without
sufficient reason, automatically ex-
pells himself from the troop.
A meeting was held Wednesday
evening, when a lecture was given
in connection with the work for
some of the merit badges.
On next Monday afternoon, at
2 o'clock, the regular meeting of
the troop will be held in the
swimming pool. After the minutes
are read, the color bearer of the
troop will be voted upon, and then
the rest of the afternoon Scoutmas-
ter Thomas Wilson will demon
strate different strokes and holds
and methods of holding the drown
ing person in connection with the
life-saving test.
Next week Mr.. Wilson expects to
get one of the Richmond attorneys
to talk to the boys on civil gov
eminent.

Peru Undergoes d
 Swift Revolution

LIMA, July 13. - The latest dis patches available here from La PaZ, Bolivia, concerning the revolution against the government of President Gutierrez are to tire effect that all the Bolivian troops have recognized the newly formed government, with the exception of the picked cavalry regiment, known as the Abarow Con- tingent, which is reported to be ad- vancing from Guayaquail toward La PaZ
 A censorship is being maintained. The revolution apparently was brief. Rapid fire guns bombarded the pal ace and the government offered vir- tually no resistance.
 The Lima newspapers this morn ing unanimously declared that the revolution is of surprising historic importance to Peru.
