Everything went we'll unti! we hit
the Gulf Stream in latitude 1888,
longitude 10, when we struck the big

'Fox caught the mainmast, which was
knocked fiat in the water and regained
the ship, having presence of mind
enough to lower the trisal to kill the
ships headway. Dorset was $50 feet
off, and managed to grab one of q

France Is Not Interested

PARIS, Nov. 22.-The Foreign Office
announced to-day that the French gov
ernment was not interested in the con-
cessions recently reported to have been
granted by the Russian Soviet govern
ment at Moscow to Washington D.
Nanderlip, California oil and mining
engineer, because, so far as France is
concerned, the Bolshevik government
is non-existent. 1t is strictly matter
between Mr.. Vanderlip and Nikolai
Lenine, the Soviet Premier, Foreign
Office officials said.
Frar re, however, they declared, must
safeguard its interests and its citizens
property in Russia, and should the
Vanderllp concessions at some future
time. when legal government has been
Installed in Russia conflict with French
interests, it will be time then to take
necessary measures, but for the mo-
ment the French have nothing to say.

To Receive Citizens RIGHTS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Washing
ton D. Vanderbilt the Pacific Coast pro
Moter, who is reported to have pro-
cured concessions from the Soviet gov
crnment, will be accorded the same con-
slderation that any other American citi-
zen is entitled to in the event he
appeals to the State Department to sup
port his agreements with the Bolshe-
vlk authorities, it was said to-day at
the department.
"The State Department is not op-
posed to Mr.. Vanderlp personally, but
the policy of the Administration has
been not to encourage dealings with
the Soviet powers because that regime
has not been recognized" one high
State Department ohlcial said "This
government can have no communication
with Bolshevil1 authorities before
recognition, and therefore cannot
validate any agreements made between
Soviet government. for in the eyes of
70 such government in Russia"
ASKED if this government would
recognize the Vanderlip concessions, in
the event they were procured from per-
sons who actually owned the lands in
volved, officials said that a thorough
history of the ownership must be
shown before any step would be
auth orized toward compelling execu-
tion of the agreements.
The phase of the Vanderip inter
view, cab.ed from London, that touched
on the alleged offer made by the
Soviet powers to cease all propaganda
activities in the United States would
not be discussed by officials.

The average wage received by driv-
ers of busses to valley points is about

made. He says that days driving
covers an average of about 125 miles,
and that the. average driver works in
excess of ten hours each day.
Goldman said that the drivers and
the company's representative, Morgan
conferred last night, and that Morgan
had confessed he had made mistake
in discharging the drivers for refus-
ing to run over the San Diego route.
Morgan offered the men an opportun-
ity to return to work, Goldman said,

BOUNDRY LINE
TO Be EREOPENED

According to word received this
morning by United States Consul
Boyle from the department of state at
Washington, d. c., it will only be
matter of few days until the line is
again opened on the same basis as be-
fore.
The order permitting the reopening
of the line was first transmitted to the
department Of labor who sanctioned
the action and in turn informed Consul
Boyle. Although the message telling
of the action of the department at
Washington was received today ii will
require several days vet before the
formal instructions to the customs
house officials at Calexico is received
Whether or not new passports will
have to be secured by persons wishing
to cross the line could not be learned
today, but inasmuch as practically all

RIOT RACES IN
EASTERN PRISON
(By Associated Press)

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 20.-More
than 5000 strikers last night started
a riot in the dormitories of the Mary
land penitentiary. Men tore out cleo
tric lights, and when the buildings
were left in total darkness started a
two hour demonstration which the en-
tire force of prison officials were for
a long time unable to stop. The pris-
oners broke from their cells, buc We're
unable to escape from the building.
With the men in the corridors it
became unsafe for guards or officials
to attempt to go in among them, and
it was not until water was turned
upon them that they were quieted.
The demonstration resulted from a
strike a week ago of prisoners who
declared that they would not work
unless better food was served them

Luxury Taxes S
A Hardship On
Tonic Takers

Charles Scott, deputy district at
torney, raised himself to his full
height. and with his most jurisdicial
look and GESTURE let forth this:
II am against the luxury taxes.
They work no end of hardship on the
purchaser, the ultimate consumer as
it were, and afford the manufacturer
a splendid opportunity to defraud the
trusting public"
Now as Scott is by his own declar-
alton a staunch republican the above
statement created furry, not to
say rush.
eyes sir" said the newswriter, "and
upon what specific grounds do you
base your objections to the luxury
taxes?
Scott then raised himself bit more,
and looking down upon the newswrit-
er with glance scorning such ignor-
ance and lack of perception he made
answer in the best of legal manner:
"a short time time ago l felt the
need of some article of a medicinal
nature, upon which a luxury tax has
been imposed. Now aside from the
fact that it is anything but luxurious
after purchasing and having it wrap
ped up in beautiful green paper l
carried it home, unwrapped and pre-
pared myself for the sacrifice, only
to find that l had been foiled, 1t was
so plastered with luxury taxes that
I was unable to make out the direc-
tions, and therefore could only shake
the bottle and trust to luck. Had it
not been for my daring, my willing
ness to place my life upon the proper
number of shakes, as it were, my eX-
penditure' would have been wholly
useless"
Eyes sir" said the newswriter
thinking of the story he had missed
by the attorneys being able to judge
shakes correctly.

WOODR|NG SETS
NEW RECORD IN
220 YARD DASH
Paddock Is Beaten BY Breath
in Fast Sprint. American
Uuellers Strong. England
Wins Final Heat in Steeple-
chase.
fRv Associated PreSs)

ANTWERP, Aug. 2O.-When Allan
Woodrung Of the Philadelphia Ath-
letic Club breathed the tape q scant
breath ahead of Charlie Paddock, the
Southren California sprinter, in the
200 meter, or 220 yard dash new
worlds record was established in that
event. Woodrung ran his 220 on a
curved track, but at that he was able
to bring the record down to % seconds
flat, remarkable performance. The
field was off to splendid start, and
held closely together during the en-
tire course. When the tape was
reached Woodrung and Paddock were
so close that it was impossible from
the stadium to tell which had won.
The American athletes are doing
some remarkable work in the sword
duelling and fencing contests. Hith-
erto these events have been conceded
to Europeon countries, and although
it is now impossible for the American
duellers, who were defeated by the
Swiss team, to win first place, they
have a splendid chance to win second.
Hogg, the English jockey, again
led the field today in the final heat of
the 5000 meter steeple chase. Three
Americans were among the first to
cross the line.
The Americans have more than held
their own in the dashes, but in the
longer races have been forced, in most
instances, to give way to the old world
runners. Nurmi, the Finnish distanc-
er, today won the 10000 meter run,
leading the field by good distance.
