FIRST WOMAN
DIRIGIBLE FLYER

Mark up one for Ruth ftoland,
pretty cinema star and heroine Of
the serial Ruth OF the Rockies"
Also ring up one for the new Good
year Pony Blimp, probably the small
est practical dirigihle in the world.
Miss Ruth Roland has pulled many
spectacular stunts to delight movie
fandom. but 1t remained for her to
gain the honor OF being the first wo-
man passenger to try out dirlgible
flying. when she took jaunt over
Coronado Island and the Pacific
ocean near San Diego few days ago
in the Goodyear roadster of the
air." Miss Roland's attention has
been drawn to the small dirigible as
a coming factor in aerial motion pic
ture work, and her trip demonstrat-
ed conclusively the Importance of its
accomplishments and ease of man
euverability which render feasible
many hitherto impossible effects in
screen photography, in addition to
offering novel possibilities in the
making of movie thrillers.
Miss Roland and her studio man
ager, Norman Manning, were so i'm
pressed with the little airship's
achievement that arrangements were
at once concluded to use it in new
episodes of her current serial Ruth
Of the Rockies"
While the airplane must maintain
racing speed or fall. the Pony
Blimp is under no such handicap, its
lighter than air construction enab-
ling 1t to hover practically notion
less at any desired height, or to
glide along over a scene at a snails
pace. The ship is s5 feet long from
tip OF nose to tail, has cruising
range OF 400 miles, and will carry
two passengers and pilot at a max
imum speed Of 45 miles an hour, up
TO an altitude OF 5000 feet. Good

COAL AND CARS

The Republican Congress imme-
diately before adjournment in June
authorized a loan of $300,00O,0OO
to the railroads, $125,000,000 of
which has already been made avail
able. The loan was made necessary
for the purchase of new equipment
and the reconditioning of service util
tiles following a period of Federal
operation during the present admin
istration. Declaring that the coal
miners and operators are not prof.
teers, but that the high price of coal
Is due to the lack of transportation,
Representative John NJ. Robsion, of
Kentucky, says: IF the nation is to
be furnished with coal and the price
Is to be within reach of the people,
the railroads must furnish an ade-
quate supply of cars to the mines. A
good car supply will solve the real
problem of the nation, but it is only
fair to say that the Government dur
ing the period of Federal control
did not keep up the rolling stock.
The tonnage OF the country has in
creased greatly and the railroad IA
cilities Of the country have dimin-
ished. d."-Republican Publicity Assn.

7.-- NUMBER q.
MEXICAN PRISONER TELLS
 PLOT OF GOVERNMENT
Prisoner Described Actions of His Organization on Movement Toward
 Mountain Country.

San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 24.-The or ganized and authorized character of the border raids was further indicted in an attested confession of Mexi- can prisoner taken in 1915 and sub- mitted today to the senate sub-com- mittee Investigating the Mexican situa- tion. It was incorporated in report of Captain A. V. B. Anderson, then commanding troop A. 18th cavalry.
 The prisoner described the actions of his organization on it's move ments toward Norlas, Hidalgo country as that of regular organized unit commanded by major of the Cor ranza army He said that after the expedition had arrived at a point some distance north of the Rio Grande the major read his orders for the attack and assured them they had been issu- ed in accordance with President Car ranza's instructions.
 Similar testimony was given by Thomas Mayfeld, former Teras ran ger, who submitted an affidavit by . Guadalup Cuellar that Carranza lead CTS had given orders for participation in one of the raids, He described the mutilation of one American soldier by soldiers from the Carranza garrison. [ They cut off the ears of the soldiers and carried them back to the garrison as souvenirs. The statement was at tested by Captain Frank B. Mccoy. now brigadier general.
 John l.. Kleiber, district attor- ney of the border, gave description of the attack on train near Browns vile, Texas, which included another instance of the immunity German na- tionality gave. He was passenger on train On the same car were two who claimed to be Germans. They were not molested.
 Kleiberis testimony was corrobor- ative of that fothers which tended to indicate the raiders were in reality a detachment of the Mexican army. Five Americans were shot on that oc- casion, the leaders of the raiding party being Aneceto Pisano and Luis de La Rosa.
 It also was indicated by the wit ness that the Mexicans on the Ameri- can side of the border who have been killed or injured during the period of the raids have been victims of their own countrymen's activities rather than of any deliberate attempt of Am ericans to injure them.

CATHOLICS PRIEST WILL
 FIGHT ONE MAN RULE
A Novel Suit that May Have Wide Re- suits to be Staged at AshdOwn
 Friday or Saturday,

It is understood that there is to be tried before Judge Shaver in this city on a date to be set, trobably Friday or Saturday, an injunction case involving church property at Foreman in which Bishop Morris of Little Rock and the Rev. Father T. J. Griffin, priest at De- Queen and Foreman,
 In an interview with the Rev. Father Griffin Monday he stated that the suit involved more than this, that it in- yolved a fight within the church against one man rule. When asked how the priests as mass stood he re- piled that they stood as one man with the laity against the Catholic practice of one man rule, and were going to fight the thing out to a finish. He said that Bishop Morris would take from the priests food, shelter and clothes to force them to submit to his will. He admitted that he was only the mouth- piece of the bishop, that the Catholic masses had no press through which they may speak, and that the press as it existed in the church was dominated by the bishopry. He said that the time had come when American Catho- lies were going to fight to cast off the yoke, or words to that effect. He spoke so frankly and denied that it was personal matter that it was sur prising to a non-Catholic. No doubt the hearing of the case will be quite interesting, as it is expected that much testimony from both sides will be introduced. He is anxious that secu- lar press hear the case and report whatever facts may be developed from the evidence,

 JOHN BARLEYC0RN NOW
Anti-SalOOn League Plans Gigantic Expenditure to Put the Ole Boy
 Under the Ground.

Washington, Jan. 25,-Although it is the popular impression that the prohibition fight in the United States is over, the Anti-Saloon League insists that it has just begun, in a declara- tion today emphasizing it's appeal for S25,000,000 to keep up warfare on the Demon Rum, notwithstanding it's shakeled condition.
 Wayne B. Wheeles. general counsel for the league makes an impressive statement in behalf of it's need for money, asserting that to decrease ac- tivity now would be like refusing to harvest a crop after it had been rais- ed. He points to the various activi- ties of the vets to overcome the pro- hibition victory and override the law and says:
 "The discussion concerning the drive of the Anti-Saloon League of America, for $125,O0O,OO0 to continue it's work at home and abroad, is re- vealing facts daily which prove the necessity and wisdom of the campaign.
 Says Fight Continuous.
 '"To decrease activity at this time would be like refusing to harvest a crop after it has been raised. Our opponents will not let us quit if we desired to do so," continued MT. Wheeler. 'fThe liquor interests seem disposed to spend their last dollar to defend their outlawed traffic In ad- dition to all old liquor organizations two new ones have been formed, The Association Opposed to National Pro- hibition and the Association Opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment.
 "In Rhode Island. Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin and several other states, wet organizations and some wet officials are encourag- ing defiance to national prohibition, They rave enacted or attempted to enact laws to permit certain liquors, which the federal government pro- hibit and in their campaign with wet propaganda are inflaming the lawless to defy the federal prohibition act.
 "The court attacks on national pro- hibition, the threat of the liquor or ganlzations to elect a wet Congress to weaken the national prohibition code ana resubmit the amendment and tc elect wet legislators to, carry out their program, is sufficient challenge tc the friends of prohibition to get busy rather than quit.
