the Presidents thoughts. Lenin, it
Ii pointed out, is in almost desperate
need OF railway rolling stock. not
only for the ordinary puroses OF COM
merce and industry, but for his ex
tensive military operations as well. IT
was suggested in some quarters to-
day that the sale OF locomotives even
in Esthonia might be regarded by
the department as in the nature OF
lending aid to the bolshevist cause.
1t became known today that l.. c
A. X. Martaens, self-styied Soviet
ambassador to IN United States. was
among those bidliing for the locomo-
tives. other bidders wero Poland
Armenia, and Belgium. Three Amer
lean firms submitted bids.
The locomotives. which arc of the
Decaped type, were built a the Rich
mond works of the American Loco
motive Company. The original don
tract price was approximately $4,000
each. The price paid by the. successful
bidder was S4I,1I0 each. The discrep-
ancy between the original price and
the sale price, 1t was pointed out to-
day, Is Offset to a considerable degree
by deterioration during eighteen

bought for the export trade. 1t was
learned today.
Although France, Poland, Rou,

South American countries have indt-
Gated a Willingness to purchase the
machines, IL Is likely that they will

At the office of the Washington
firm IL was stated today that mas
much as selling negotiations are stiil
pending, no definite announce mt
could be made at this time.
1t was pointed out, however, that
these locomotives were designed for
Russian service and can therefore be
adapted to the needs of that country
with least expense In alteration. They
were originally part of an order for
200 machines placed with American
builders by imperial Russia and were
taken over by the War Department
only after the collapse of the Cars
regime.

the remainder. after being altered to
suit American gauge track, were used

Trade with Soviet Russia Is not
permitted by the United States at
present. though plans for granting
permits for private concerns to trade
at their own risk have been under
consideration for some time and are
understood to have been held up only

part of Soviet authorities to insist
upon recognition of their government

 MT. F. c. Emery, of the Mayer, Garage, Mayer, Ari- zona, who is in Phoenix this weekend reports the roads in better condition than formerly, but lots of room for improvement yet.
 The Tempe road from Phoe- nix is very rough in spots, but work on these rough spots is reported by MT. Leeper of the Van Buren Street Service Station.
 The roads in the northern part of the state are pass able but on account of the late rain and snow, will not be good for a few weeks.
 The roads in the southern part of the state, along the south line, are fair but con- tain quite a number of chuck holes and so forth.

MEXICO TO ASK
FOR RECOGNITION

of General Obregon Into
the Presidency.

misunderstanding to informa.
tion, obtained from authentic sources,
the mission of Roberto Pesquiera to
secure immediate recognition of the
new government of Mexico by the Uni,
ted States, is destined to certain
failure. Mr.. Pesquiera has not yet
been Informally received by officials
of the State department, and it is pos
sible that he will not have occasion
to present his case.
The State departments last word on
the subject Of recognition was uttered
to Tornado Iglesias Calderon, the re-
called high commissiener-who was
no recognition of Mexico until deeds
had taken the place Of words.
Conditions Improved.
There is no question that conditions
have been greatly improved in Mexico,
as result of the new regime, but the
position of provisional President de la
Huerta, and that of his personal repre-
sentative now here, is in direct oppo-
sition to the position, which the gov
eminent of the United States has
taken on the oil question. and which
it still maintains.
1t is also believed that recognition
will be more in keeping with the atti
tude, previously assumed by President
Wilson towards governments, brought
about by revolutionary violence, if it
awaits the entrance of General Obre-
gon into his constitutionality acquired
office
There is considerable question here
as to the reasons why the provisional
government should indicate such ankle
ty to have recognition brought about
Immediately. 1t is also considered
strange that Mr. Pesquiera should
have been named to conduct the i'll
formal negotiations, in view of the
fact that he is known to entertain
views in direct variance with those en-
tertained by the State department on
the question of the Carranza oil de-
cree.
The acceptability of Mr. Pesquiera
as confidential agent of Mexico is also
pending the Interpretation, which the
State department is placing upon GER
tain utterances, accredited to the new
Mexican representative.

All-HalloW Eve falls on the last day
of October, the day following being ALI
Saints Day, or All-Hallows
This is the date of the last of three
festivals held by the Druids, who in
Olden times were scattered over north
ern Europe. These festivals were OBJ
served on May /, the time of sowing !;
June p, the season of the ripening of
the crops and October 81, the harvest
season.
One of the religious rites of the
DruidS consisted in maintaining,
throughout the year, immense fires on
stone affairs erected upon eminences in
honor of the Sun-GOd. On the night
of Oct. 81, the Druids assembled at the
affairs in their snow white robes, and
at given signal, during the absolute
silence on the part of the multitude
gathered to witness the ceremony, they
s0lemnly eXtinguished the fires. New
fires were then kindled, and as the
flames leaped heavenward, the people
raised mighty shout, and then, OBJ
tanning live embers from the affairs,
they returned to their homes to eXtin-
guish the old fires left burning on their
hearthS, and kindle them anew with
the sacred embers Of the priests. This
new fire was believed to protect each
homestead from peril SO long as it re-
manned burning

Ruler SuCCumbs From Wound
Suffered in Attack BY Pet
Monkey Early in October.
ON THRONE ; YEARS
Morganatic Wife at Bedside In the
Royal Palace During Last Hours
Struggle Looming in Europe
for Greek Throne.

Athens-King Alexander of Greece
is dead His death was due to wounds
received when a pet monkey attacked
him early in October.
Nils. Aspasie Manos, the morganatic
wife of the Greek king, was at the
bedside of Alexander in the royal pal
ace during the last hours of Alexander
She had been there for many days
and had constantly nursed Alexander
Monkey Bite Fatal.
The strange malady which caused
the Greek kings death resulted from
the bites of two monkeys on October
8, while defending his dog.
The infection which set in following
the bites gradually poisoned the kings
entire system. Professor Vidal, noted
French specialist, who was rushed
from Paris to assist other famous doc
tors, worked over the patient, but sew
era1 days ago declared that in his
opinion only a miracle could save the
kings life.
A dramatic international struggle, in
which Europe's most astute diplomats
will name the successor of the Greek
throne, is expected to follow in the
wake of King Alexander's death. That
the demise Of Alexander will not mean
the fall of the Greek dynasty is indi-
acted by the attitude of Premier Vent
zelos, who believes that the time for
the establishment of republic is not
ripe.
The attitude of England and France
is expected to be great factor in the
determining Of the next Greek king
ruler, Prince Arthur of Connaught, it
is rumored, will be the choice of Eng
land.
Prince Paul will be offered the crown
by Premier Venizelos, according to one
report, providing he and his father,
Constantine, promise to cease their in
trigues with the Allies.

THE WAY 1T ALL STARTED

light OF Christianity, the heather fes-
tiyals lost much of their grandeur and
former significance, and assumed a
lower character. Gradually the simple
country folk came to believe that on
October 81 the fairies forSOOk their
hiding places to dance in the forest
glades, while witches. COLLINS, and
other evil spirits had revels in desert
ed abbeys, or plotted against mankind
in the shadows of ruined castles and
keeps.
BY a very natural transition the
Halloween fire came to be lookes upon
as charm against evil spirits even
as late as the seventeenth century we
learn that it was customary for the
farmer to make the circuit of his acres
brandishing lighted torch, and
chanting of some doggerel rhyme to
protect his farm from evil during the
coming year.
From the fact that these supernat-
ural agents seemed so near at this sea-
son, Halloween was supposed to be
the night Of all nights for prying into
the mysteries of the future and this
is probably the origin of those games
and ceremonies by which it is claimed
that ones fate may be learned. at the
