same than for most any OF the little
Injuries our little city affords. Some
people. you may have noticed. won't
patronize the paper because they don't
approve OF the opinions Of the editor.
However. the Graphic keeps right on
speaking out In meeting" but tries to
be fair. allowing the other fellow to
have his say. Here are the opinions OF
two Of Deming's leading ministers who
represent the views OF a considerable
number Of church-goers. but with whose
views the Graphic does not agree, be-
lleving that il also expresses the opin-
Ion OF ut least a few citizens.

the Graphic deplores the fact that the
happy "consumma tion of this question

the narrow sectarian leadership that
lays stress ON dogma and not on social

In conclusion we wish 10 point out
the fact that the petition did not raise
the question of the proficiency OF the
teachers OF the school, neither did the
petition allege anything concerning the
character Of any teacher. Personally
wo have reason To respect and admire
the teachers with whom we are ac-
qualnted and so far as we have any
knowledge of the matter the school
work has been equal to the best. All
these questions have been injected into
the matter by the teachers themselves.
We have repeatedly stated that the
present conditions were rank in
jusice to the teachers and that nothing
should be left undone to afford them
an adequate compensation for their
work, than which there Is none fraught
al with greater consequences TO the
rising generation. We have always been
an ardent supporter Of the public
schools and these questions must not

Boston, May 14-A resolution re- questing their employers to set aside an unemployment fund out of their profits for the benefit of employees who are idle during slack periods in the industry was adopted by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America who closed their fourth bien- nia1 convention here today. The or- ganization hopes to create a s1O,- 900, 900 fund in this manner.
 The delegates also voted to put into operation within ninety days one joint board in New York, under which the joint board of the chill dren's clothing workers will be abol- ished. A resolution advocating, a five day week of 40 hours was defeat ed.
 The candidacy of Eugene V. Debs for president was endorsed, although the convention refused to go on rec ord as a body as favoring the Soeiai- ist Party. Removal of the b1ockada against Russia and recognition of the Soviet government were urged.
 Dr. James Peter Warbass, presi- dent of the Cooperative League of America, urged the clothing workers to join in the movement to educate the workers so that from operating in cooperative way they might in time take over the manufacturing.

MEXICAN REVOLT
 APT TO TAKE ON AN
 INTERNATIONAL TURN
BRITISH CONSUL IN CARRANZA'S CAMP MEXICAN REBELS APPARENTLY HAVE
 WON FIRST PHASE OF BATTLE WARSHIPS OFF VERA CRUZ.

(By the Associated Press) |
 Mexican rebel forces have apparently won the first phase of the battle against troops still loyal to President Carran-i ga which have been fighting desperately north of San Mar cos, state of Puebla, for the past four days. Advices from Vera Cruz indicate a break in the Carranza lines and an ef- fort of the presidents men to break through the rebel lines and march northward.
 The struggle continues and new rebel achievements are reported to have reached the scene, coming up from the south.
 An international incident may ba foreshadowed by the fact that N. A Body, British consul for Vera Cruz, is in the camp of President Carranza- Advices give no details as to the req son for his presence. there but it seems probable he accompanied the president in his flight from Mexico City. British and American authori- ties in Vera Cruz have arranged for a Mexican naval lieutenant to go by special train to the battlefield and try to rescue the imperilled English man.
 French and British warships have appeared in the harbor of Vera Cruz and four American fighting vessels are at anchor there. Negotiations for the surrender of Matamoras. across the frontier from Brownsville, Texas, are under way and it is expected the Carranza forces there will surrender without fighting 1 today.

 In Ship Robbery

 Penniless and enraged, the passen- gers joined in denouncing the British passport control officer at Batum, the failure of British authorities there to disarm the robbers before they board ed the Souirah and the negligence of the steamship company in not main- taining armed guard. Above all, the alleged abtect submission of the crew to the pirates was hotly criticized An nouncement that the ship would have an armed guard on her voyage from here to Marseilles only intensified the anger of the people who lost every thing. It seems the fact that the rob- bers did not molest the ships safe aroused suspicion on the part of the passengers
 The captain of the Souirah refused to discuss the matter with the cor respondent of The Associated Press, saying he had made a report to French naval authorities here. No light was thrown on his report at

NO ACQUISITION
 ON JURY METHOD
Judge Haines Reserves De- cision on Motion to Set
 Verdict Aside.

The State of Connecticut does not look with favor on an inQuisition into the deliberations and reasons, of a jury arriving at any particular ver- dict, was asserted by Judge Frank D. Haines in the Superior court today when Attorney Shannon offered the testimony of Fred I. Hart. foreman of the jury which recently brought in verdict of s4,20s in favor of the plaintiff, in the action of an aliena- Valentine against Freda PoMak of NorwaEk.
 Attorney Shannon on behnM of his c,net, Mrs. Pohlak, argued a motion to have the verdict set aside, claim ing that excessive damages had been given and that the jury had arrived at their verdict by means that have been declared objectionable by the Supreme Court of the State
 Attorney John J. Cuneo was placed on the stand and he testified that shortly after the jury had brought ! in the verdict in favor of Mrs. Val entine, he had gone into the jury room and had found a number Of pieces of paper on the table there, and had picked up two of these which he had shown to Attorney Shannon. That on one of these slips the sum of s1 was written and on the other $10.e00. Attorney Shan non argued that these slips of paper showed that the several jury men had written the amount they thought the plaintiff was entitled to on slips of paper, and that these slips were added together and the amount divid- ed by 12. This method of arriving at verdict was improper. He also claimed that s4,20s was too much to give for the affection of Frank Val entine, the plaintiffs husband
 Judge Haines took the papers in the case and reserved his decision.
 The court then adjourned until next Tuesday,

 A mail pouch from Decature had been taken on at Gilman where the bandit is believed to have boarded the train. according to mail clerks but whether it contained the big ship ment of currency is not known.
 The unwounded policeman who was knocked over when his compan- ion fell mortal1y wounded, chased the bandit into an apartment house near by, wounding him once and recover ing the money, and from there into another building where the robber is said to have been living.
