 History records the fact that Si- mon Bolivar intended to create "the United States of South America" He was a statesman as we'll as a soldier and a century ago advocated the abolition of slavery and arbitra- tion of international controversies. In 1895 when the ideals of liberty born of the American Revolution were spreading abroad, Bolivar, who was then 22 years old, swore in the Monte Sacro of Rome to his professor and beloved tutor, Don Simon Rodriguez "to give liberty to the new world" He consecrated his life and fortune to that great task
 Born in Caracas on July 24. 1783, his parents wealthy and of noble blood, he was sent in 1799 to Spain to continue his studies. An uncle, Esteban Palacio, introduced him to the Spanish court in Madrid Young Simon thereafter became an associate of the Prince of Asturias, later Ferdinand VII One day while at play Bolivar and the future king came to blows and Ferdinand was worsted Who could imagine that 20 years later l was to knock him down again and deprive him of his richest dominion?" asked Bolivar

The next seven years Bolivar passed in Europe and the United States. The | deeply impressed him and when he returned to Venezuela in 1909 he described it as Superior to any other I government" starting soon there. after to fight for the liberty of his native land.
 Bolivar participated in 1910 in the first rebellion of Caracas, in which he commanded a small troop. He fought the Spaniards for two years and in 1913 at the head of 800 men, by an audacious move captured the Venezuelan capital. Spain sent more troops and Bolivar was driven out Whereupon he started a war to the death" and rallying many thousand adherents within a few years freed the whole territory of the Spaniards.
 The "liberator" then began his cam paign to free other South American provinces and his success resulted on June 29 1921, in his election as president of Great Colombia, union VI OoANlhipAel anu 'GhSHuoid' III 4oGh he began his warfare against the Spaniards in Ecuador, his lieutenant, General Sucrea winning the battle of Pinchincha,, which freed that country.

a confederation of states formed by Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Vene- zuela, Peru, Chile and Argentina. He called a congress which met at Pana- ma, said to have been the first con gress of nations ever assembled in the world ito interpret treaties, put an end to differences, give Coun- cil in conflict and unity in national dangers"
 Bolivar then went to the region called Alto Peru and created a new republic named Bolivia in his honor to which he gave a constitution. Re- turning to Venezuela in 1926, he found the country in civil war. Ac- cused of aspiring to the title of king ke resigned the presidency of Colom- bia and in 1927 retired to private life.

 During his life Simon Bolivar re- ceived many honors from abroad. In 1925, the family of George Washing ton, for whom Bolivar had great ad- miration, commissioned General La fayette to present him with portrait of the great American, together with some of his medals, a lock of his hair and a number of letters from Washington to his wife.

One of the most enjoyable affairs ever held in Cordova was the first annual ball of the local Elks, given last Saturday night, in the Elm press cabaret Over three hundred people accepted the invitation of the k,lks and the cabaret, which was splendidly decorated with the Ameri- can flag and the Elk colors, present ed an animated picture. The beau tiful gowns worn by the ladies pres ent gave an added touch of color to a brilliant scene It would make too great demand on limited space to de- scribe the gowns. and il must suf- flee to say that the gowns worn were in every case dreams Of beauty A three piece orchestra provided the music At midnight d splendid lunch was served, and here the Elks eX- celled themselves, leaving nothing un- done to ensure the comfort of their guests The program called for twenty four dances but during the intermissiOn for luncheon. extra dances were called for and enjoyed Early morning and the farewell dance came all too soon for the guests who had SO enjoyed the hospitality of the EIke that Ir was with much regret they viewed the closing scene of one of the most cniolablc and sue ccssfur dances eyer held in Cordova

The covenant Of the Wilson League
gives the small nations certain definite
status and restricts the powers of the
great nations which make up the Council
OF the League. The Supreme Council,
on the other hand, is purely arbitrary,
resting upon the vast power, military
and industrial, OF the five nations that
compose It. 1t is essentially autocratic,
instead Of constitutional, as is the
Council Of the League. The smaller
nations view II with a certain jealousy
and alarm. The contest Ia essentially

stitutional and limited monatchy.
South America an Obstacle
In particular, President Harding's ad-
visers can see objections raised by the
small Latin American countries To the
nbandonment of the present Assembly
OF Nations and the League covenant.
Souths America likes the escape from
North American domination which the
Wilson League affords, Two or three
times since the creation of the League
Latin American countries have proposed
to take their disputes to the League
OF Nations for settlement. They have
abandoned the idea because of the
United States hostility to the League.
But II this country had been a member
OF IT, committed to Its purposes, II
could not well have frowned upon Latin
Americas turning to the internationa
organization rather than TO the United
States for guidance.
In any new association of nations
the Monroe Doctrine will be more
definitely established than It is In the
Wilson covenant, and some special
status In the Western Hemisphere will
be created to establish the position OF
the United States more firmly than did
the Versailles Treaty.

Downward revision of railroad rates,
particularly Of those on necessities, was
discussed by President Harding today
with members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission at an informal con =
ference at the commisSions headquar-
ters. The President was understood to
have been assured that the whole sub
ject now was under review by the com
mission.
Mr.. Harding inquired particularly
about the prospect for modification OF
rates on fruits. The commission Off
ciais are understood to have told hin,
that they were making considerable
progress on plan for obtaining volun
tary reductions in some rates through
concerted action by tn. carriers.

The FIRST attempts to fire the Negro
quarters were made about 1 80 o'clock
this morning, when white men openly
threatened to destroy the locality. Two
houses, used by more than fifty Negroes
as a garrison, were set afre at that
time and an alarm was turned In.
Efforts Of the Fire Department to lay
hose were stopped by a crowd Of armed
white men and the department returned
TO its station.
The attempt to destroy the Negro
quarter was resumed FIVE hours later,
when almost simultaneously FIRE burst
forth from the doors and windows Of
frame shacks. Soon dense clouds Of
black smoke enveloped the locality.
Under cover Of the smoke screen,
armed men in motorcars and afoot
threw Gordon about the place where
the Negroes were stationed and occs-
sional shots gave warning that the con
flict still waged.
As the FIRE enveloped the houses Ne
n oes were seen to dart out from fam
ing doorways with upraised hands,
shouting Don't shoot" AS they dashed
through the smoke they were ordered
to surrender and quickly were removed
to the prison camps.
A party Of white rifiemen was reported
to be shooting at all Negroes they saw
and firing houses. The Negroes were
sai6 to be returning the fire disspirit-
edly. The firing came from spot where
throughout the early morning 500 armed
white men and 1000 Negroes faced each
other across railroad tracks.

Rowland was taken to the Court
House last night and lodged in the Jail
on the upper floor of the building.
Early in the night motorcars containing
armed Negroes appeared on the streets
teaded for the Court House. 4 crowd
of 200 Negroes surrounded the building.
Armed white men Immediately began
gathering.
The crowds soon reached such pro
portions that the authorities realized
the situation was beyond their contro
and call was sent to Governor Rob-
crtson for troops.
Soon after the first appearance Of the
Negroes last night the streets were flled
with shouting. gesticulating men. Sud
denly there was rush for sporting
goods houses and hardware stores
where the crowds broke In and nrn,e1
themselves with whatever weapons they
could find. Guardsmen were used q
