OF TEXAS COAST
TRAGEDY R FOUND
No Proof That They Were
OF Pirates Grew; May
Have Been Invaders

Bishop, Texas, Sept. 2o.-Further
search Of the spot where were found
25 skeletons of human beings early In
August revealed is more skeletons,
making a total Of 40 remains of men
who were the victims of a tragedy
of which the people of the present
day have no knowledge. No proof
has come to light in substantiation Of
the theory that the skeletons belonged
to members of Jean Lafiitte's private
crew. That they belonged to some
part of the world, however, is evil
dent from the rust-incrusted relics
that have been found close by the spot
where the collection of skeletons were
discovered. These include a brass in
cense burner, gold rings and bracelets
and an unidentified iron object which
bore the words. Cadiz. Spain, upon its
surface. The fact that close at hand
were found many Indian arrowheads
leads to the conclusion that h men
who-10st their lives may have be-
longed to a crew of a shipwrecked
vessel and were killed by redmen.
j. B. Briscoe, of Pecos, Tex. is OF
the opinion that the skeletons may
be those Of aparty Of men who were
on their way to Mexico in 1866 to
keep fro mserving in the war between
the States. In a letter to a public
official of Corpus Christi, MIR. Brise
To Mexico to Keep Ont of War.
"About the first of April, 1865, A
bunch of men-3S, I think-left the
western part of Hunt county to GO
to Mexico to keep out of the war
and not one Of them has ever been
heard of since they left. I am quite
sure they all were murdered before
they got to Mexico. They started
from my wife's fathers house and she
is the last person living that saw
them start. I was in the army at the
time and did not get home until the
last of May. Now it is barely possible
those skeletons may have been those
men. Several of them were married
men and some of the m lived wild
ows fifteen years before they remar'
ried. Any old settler about Greenvtlll

Man Would
Fill Place OF The
Argentine President

Buenos Aires, Aug. 24.-(Mail.)-
In case Of the death. incapacity or
absence from the federal capital Of
the president Of Argentina And. sub
executive functions you'd 5be per-
formed by a member Of the cabinet
in fixed order of precedence, accord-
ing to a bill Just passed by the cham-
Der Of deputies, called the vacancy
law"
This amends the previous law
whereby the succession fell to the
of interior takes first precedence.
The law would thus assure that
whoever. succeedssas president would
be a member Of the administration.
whereas under the existing procedure.
it is possible for the succession to fall
to a member of the opposition party.
Such a possibility, at present. is held
to be responsiblesf for the Introduction
of the law into the chamber of depu-
ties by the radical party. which is
President %Irigoyen's. The death last
year of. Vice President Luna left the
presidency of the senate vacant and
a conservative majority in the senate
elected DR.. Benito Villanueva to pre-
side over that body. Thus. if Presi-
dent Irigoyen should die, Dr.: Villa
nueva would automatically become
president.
Under the Argentine law, the presi-
dent cannot leave theycapital without
the permission of congress-, in which
case his functions devolve upon the
vice president until his return. At
present if permission were granted,
they would be performed by DR.. Viii
%laneuva. Critics of the president say
that this is the reason he has never
asked for a vacation since the death
Of the vice president.
Most of the newspapers doubt that
the new law will pc sanctioned by the
senate, pointing out that the con.
sentative majority will hardly be will
ling to surrender the potential ad.
vantage which the situation give:

TURKISH CRESCENT
REPLACED BY THE\
CROSS OF GREECE

Smyrna. Asiatic Turkey, Aug. Is
(By Mail.)-The Turkish crescent has
been replaced by the Greek cross in
the public flag displays n the work
of reorganization is proceeding under
the Greek governor, Sterialis. Oppo-
sition to the Greek regime is felt but
the officials who tell of it say it comes
rather from Greeks and other foreign
ers. These persons, they say. were
under little restraint during Turkish
rule but now that the foreigners are
subjected to taxation and the Greek
regulations, they are not SO keen on
the coming Of 'civilization."

Residents of Phoenix are now en- gaged in one of the greatest works in which they can participate-that of caring for the city's poor, and seeing tnQtthe poor and needy have merry Christmas. Donations are coming in last now to the two great funds, the Phoenix Christmas fund and the per manent community chest, and as the day of peace on earth, good will to men, draws nearer the donations are expected to come in increasing num- bers. For after all nothing can com pare with the feeling that one has done a good deed. aided a worthy cause. at this time of universal fellow ship.
 The two coupons above are the me- diums by which people of Phoenix are sending in to the Phoenix community chest committee the names of needy families. and money with which to care for the poor. While the first use of the community chest will be tc provide the poor of the city merry Christmas the fund itself is to be made a permanent one, to be devoted to the year round work of aiding the unfortunate. Local citizens are urged to remember that the opportunity .oi helping in a great work will not pass with the holiday season.

The board of education granted these teachers permission to teach until the regular examination when they were given opportunity to qualify.
 It is understood that 35 took the examination in Maricopa county. and although the figures will not be giver out until Monday, it is said that only | 5 of the number passed. The state board of examiners is com posed of c. O. Case, chairman; Clau6 D. Jones and Alma Davis of Mesa

Plunkett or any member of the committee is notified.
 The first big event on the com munity chest program is of course the municipal Christmas tree at the Hotel Adams Santa Claus will meet the kiddies of the city there Christmas eve, and probably will remain over a week distributing presents to those who need them.

Among the events already announced are a concert bN the city band at o'clock tonight; ar entertainment by the high schoo freshment Girl Reserves next Tues. day night, and program by the boy'I choir next Sunday night.

EIGHT ARE SENTENCED IN CLOSING DAY IF FEDERAL COURT HERE

With the sentencing of eight men who had been convicted of various in fractions of the federal statutes, the arraigning of another and the clean ing up of various odds and ends of business, the United States district court, Judge William H. Sawtelle pre- siding, which has been in session here for two weeks, finished it's work yes
 terday. It will convene in Tucson to- morrow morning and will convene again in Phoenix on January 1G,1921. Dick Creager, convicted of violations of the narcotics law, was sentenced to six months in the Yavapai county jail. D. w. Fountain and c. E. Blanken- ship. found guilty on charges of hav- | ing violated the migratory bird treaty with Canada, were fined $1O each.
 Charles F. Cash, charged with hay | ing violated the natiopal prohibition amendment, was fined $50. He caused a laugh when in answer to a question | by the judge he said that he had
 bought liquor in Phoenix for s9 per quart, advising the court, however
 that this was a wholesale price. The
 lightness of the fine was brought
 about by his weak physical condition
 and his plea that he had purchased the liquor for medicinal purposes.
 I Vincent Pozzi, convicted of violat- ing the narcotics law, was sentenced
 to a year and day in Leavenwortt penitentiary, although E. A. French
 an accomplice, was sentenced to only six months in the Yavapai county jail The reason for the longer sentence is
 a paradox, for it was given to Pozz as a kindness by the court. The con victed man is very i'll with tubercu-
 losis and Judge Sawtelle sent him tt
Arizona republican., 1920-12-19

the penitentiary, for which a sentence of more than year is required, in order that he might get competent medical treatment. He was assured by the court that he would be par doned in such time as to make his sentence end concurrently with that of French.
 Jeff Villiborgia received 90 days In the Yavapai county jail, $100 fine and a penalty of $500 for violating the national prohibition amendment. R, S. Boyle, violator of the narcotics law, drew a sentence of six months, as did Carlos Vasquez, stacker.
 R. E. McCombs. charged with em- bezzlement, was arraigned before Judge Sawtelle yesterday. He pleaded not guilty and was bound over, under bal of $2500, in default of which he was remanded to the, county jail.

HUDSON GIRLS HAVE
 GOOD CAGE BATTLE

Marion, November N.-(SpeciaL) )-The day was an ideal one for athletic games. The Tigers and Panthers were most en- thusiastic and eagerly waited the hour of 10 o'clock, at which time the game was called.
 The score was IS to 2-Panthers. The teamwork of the Partners was especially fine The Tigers did good work. but the Panther guards stayed so closely with the forwards they made it impossible for the. Tigers to score. The Tigers had two splendid forwards and centers. Misses McIlwain and McCollum played together splendidly. l
 The enthusiasm on both sides was un- usually great The Partners were espe. cialy anxious to win the game this year, as they have won the past two years, counting 10 points for their side toward the loving cup. Many friends were in sympathy with the schoolgirl enthusiasm, for several hundred spectators witnessed the game. a'
 At noon a special dinner was served the two teams. The table was decorated with the colors of both teams, most bountiful Thanksgiving dinner was served and good cheer reigned supreme.
 Lineup:
 Tigers-Marion Newman (captain) and Louise Coleman, forwards; Phyls McCo.- lum, side center; Amelia Mcllwain' jumping center: Meta Rocket and Nell Wallace, guards; Cleene Donaldson Gladys Melton and Caroline Lewry, sub stitutes.
 Panthers-ollie Spiers and Ida McCo'- lum, forwards; Martha Mallory, side cen ter; Mittice Hyman, jumping center Sarah Irwin and Blanche Shivers' guards; ,Maude Freeman, oiivette 0e'- ties and Louise Nelms, substitutes.
