The present rate of progress in

Gorge indicates, according to General
Manager d. W. Pontius, that the line
will be in operation for the handling

EDINBURGH LASSIE REVOLT
(RY Associated PressN

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Aug. s.
Young women students of the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh have revolted
against what they regard as 'child-
ish" restriction in the use OF latch
keys after the regulation hour for
closing the hall in which they live.
Thirty-three students OF Mason
Hall, one of the numerous hostels in
which women students reside, have
gone on record as refusing to obey
instructions regarding the use Of
night keys. The girls assert that they
are being treated as children rather
than as young women well able to
take care of themselves.
The protest resulted in a petition
to the university requesting a change
in the warden of the hall. The view
of the arrangements is that too much
liberty was given the girls under the
previous regime and that unless they
alter their petition, the girls must
leave the hall at the end of the ses-
sion

CALEXICO, Aug. 3.-The follow

of the board of trustees of the city
warning persons who expect to make
their headquarters in this city while
participating in any trouble below the
line is self explanatory and voices the
sentiment of a great majority of the
citizens of the city:
TO Whom 1t May Concern: Inas-
much as the relations of the citizens
Of CaleXico with the Mexican govern
ment, as represented by Governor Es-
teban Cantu of the Northern District
of Lower California, have been cordial
and, having as our chief aim the
maintenance of such relations, !, Is 30
the best interests of the community in
general that nothing be done that
would cause any i'll will toward the
American people by either faction in
the present controversy in our neigh
Dor republic.
AS some newspapers have published
stories of a misleading nature re-
garding existing conditions which
probably will tend to draw large
number of soldiers of fortune and un-
desirables to this city, it is the sense
of the board of trustees of the city of
Calexico that no gathering of this
class of men be permitted in this city.
Anyone of doubtful character who
comes to the city during the present
period of uncertainty in Lower Cali
fornia must be able to produce salts

reasons for coming to this city, or be
