STOP UNDESIRABLE
ALIENS FROM MEXICO
House Agrees to Provide
More Funds for Use in Bor-
der Customs Service.

Washington.-An amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation bill offer
ed by Representative Garner and
adopted by the house requires suf-
ficient portion Of the $10,3OO0O0 ap.
propriated for prevention of frauds up
on the customs revenue to be used
on the Mexican border to enable those
districts to perform adequately the
duties required by law. Congress has
been asked to increase the $10,OO0,000
allowed for last year by 100000 this
year to prevent the smuggling of
liquor across the Mexican and Canad-
ian borders, in violation Of the prohi-
bition law. The committee gave only
100000 Increase.
For some months the members of
the Texas delegation have been seek
ing the use of greater sum of money
on the Mexican border to prevent the
introduction of Objectionable aliens re-
ported in Mexico in large numbers, and
Representative Hudspeth introduced
bill for large appropriation to be so
used by t.e department of labor in re-
establishing the border guard. This
force was almost completely obliterat.
ed by the failure of the last congress
to make the necessary appropriation.
In connection with the customs serv.
ice, Representative Garner called at.
tention of the house to the fact that
$95QOOO Of the $1O,OOO,0O0 appropriated
to guard 1,S00 miles of Mexican bor-
der, but had no hesitancy in devoting
a much larger sum to New York or to
Philadelphia. The department aIlot-
ted to the San Antonio district 500 500,
to the Ell Paso district $4,000, to
Arizona $4,000 and to California
about $4,000.
I'm the interest Of humanity, the
treasury department should maintain
sufficient force to give protection
against a lawless element that comes
from Mexico" said Mr.. Garner. with
in the last thirty days there have been
three men killed along the border in
Texas, due to the fact that there were
not sufficient men to take care Of the
situation"

GIVEN PRIVILEGE IN WAR
Channel islanders for Centuries Were

For over two centuries the Channel
islands were allowed to remain neu-

granted to them by Edward ". and
was not revoked till the reign Of VIII

a reward for the loyalty Of the island
ers, whose commerce with the neigh

mandy was constantly being inter-
rupted by the numerous wars. Even
the pope joined in enforcing the right,
and by a bull dated 1883 Sextus "
threatened to excOmmunicate any one
who violated the order. On the whole,
it was fairly rigidly observed, and when
Guernsey vessel was taken In the
channel by a privateer of Morlaix, the
islanders with their boat were re-
leased, but a few Engllshmen on
board, with their merchandise, were
captured. The privilege does not

Wilson Asks Party
To Stand By Treaty

Washington.-A call to the demo
cratic party to go into the campaign
standing four square in favor of the
treaty of Versailles and against the
senate's reservations, was issued Mon
day by President Wilson in a tele-
gram to Oregon democratic leaders,
made public at the White House.
Declaring that the party had "the
honor of the nation in It's hands" the
president said that the Lodge reserva-
tions were utterly inconsistent" with
that honor as well as destructive Of
the role of world leadership which
the United States must assume.
The only true Americanism, the
president said, was that which puts
America at the front of free nations
and redeems the great promises which
we made to the world"
1t would be violation of such prom.
ises, he said, to attach reservations to
the treaty which "whittle it down or
weaken it, as the republican leaders
Of the senate have proposed to do"
The telegram was in response to the
following message from G. E. Hamak-
er of Portland, Ore, chairman of the
Multnomah County democratic central
committee:
Primary election May 21. Please
wire whether you consider it impor-
tant to nominate candidates pledged to
ratify Versailles treaty without Lodge

New Plan in Vogue This Year Ad-

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE National dou-
bles championship, which begins on
the courts OF the Longwood Cricket
Club at Boston on August 16, prom
ises to be the best doubles tourna-
ment that has been played in this
country.
The new plan adopted by the an
nual meeting of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association to foster
doubles provides for the entry of the
teams winning the sectional cham
pionships. The United States being
divided into twelve sections, there
are, theoretically dozen possible en-
tries from this source.
However. there will be no team
from the INTERIM section this
year, and there is strong possibility
that the winners of the Southern
championship may not play.
In addition to these teams, the en-
try of ranked teams and those which
have made good records during the
current season will be accepted, with
the result that the tournament ought
to include the strongest pair in the
game.
Entries close today and must
be made with Richard Bishop, sec

GREAT BRITAIN PLANS
QUITTING OLYMPIADS
Committee Thinks Seriously Of With
drawing After Games Held
at Antwerp.

LONDON. Aug. 12.-Withdrawal of
Great Britain from Olympic contests
after the Antwerp meeting is being
seriously considered by the British
Olympic committee. The question Of
making announcement to this effect
is said to be under debate, and the
general opinion of leaders in the
sporting world appears to favor tho
step. Prominent among these are
Lord Desborough and Sir Theodore
Cook, who, in the past, have given
much time and effort to organizing
British Olympic teams.
The principal reason for the with
drawal from future Olympic Games
given in the public statement. IL one
is made, probably will be that English
sporting activities in normal times are
so numerous as to absorb all the at
tention that amateurs can devote to
sport. The proposal undoubtedly has
been brought about by the general
lack of interest in the Olympic Games
shown by the British newspapers.
The public appeared Indifferent to
ward the Antwerp meeting and the
response to appeals for funds has been
small. Consequently the expenses of
the British team must be borne by a
few wealthy men.
The great expansion OF the Olympic
program since the games were insti-
tuted at Athens in 1895 is thought to
be the reason for the decline of inter-
est in the contests, some of which are
unknown in Great Britain.
As a result of the last two meetings
at London in zoos and at Stockholm
in 1o12--the feeling is declared to
have grown that the games have
drifted far from their original ideal
of providing international contests OF
amateurs to promote friendship among
different countries. From the British
viewpoint. the athletes of certain ma
tions. who are supported during long
training periods by government sub
sidies. cannot be considered amateurs
