JUAREz SORE, WANTS
 MAYOR 70 RESIGN
Associated Press Night Wire)

JUAREZ, July 5. Mayor Fran cisco Rodriguez of this city was temporarily depoSed from office to- day following a hearing in the fed eral court on a charge he had abused his authority. The alleged offense consisted of drawing pistol on two citizens engaged in street alterca- ton. Friends of the mayor insist the charges are the outgrowth of the war, being waged by the police against illicit drug dealers and gam blers. Gambling has been closed tightly for many months and arrest and deportation of drug peddlers and addicts are daily occurrences.
 The mayor charges the drug trade is controled by wealthy Mexicans residents of Fl Paso who have brought political pressure to bear to bring about his downfall. The state ment is made that any effort of the military to take over the town will be met by armed resistance from the police. Saturday several hundred men marched on the city hall and demanded the resignation of the mayor.

REFERENDUM NEEDED
 ON WAGE DECREASE
Associated Press Night wire)

CHICAGO, July S.-The member ship of l6 railroad labor organiza- tions including the big four brother hoods will decide through a refer endum by September l, whether to accept or reject the F per cent wage reductions that went into effect on railroads throughout the country July 1, it was decided tonight by the chief executives and 1,50O general chairmen of the organizations.
 The general chairmen decided they could not assume responsibility for the wage reduction that was ordered bv the United States railroad labor board.
 E. H. Fitzgerald, president of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steam ship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Ex- press and Station Employees, said Nothing can be expected of the railroad employees interested in the decision of the labor board except to resist to the fullest extent the reduc- ton of rates of pay and the proposed abrogation of certain favorable work ing conditions

MRS. KADER WILL
 FACE MALE JURY
Associated Press Night wire)

CLEVELAND, July 5.- Chances that even one woman is going to sit on the jury trying Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber here for the murder of her husband were exceedingly slim tonight. Eleven men were in the tentative panel. Six women tenta- tive4y seated earlier in the day were excused on peremptory challengers of Mrs. Kaber,s counsel.
 The defense had six peremptory challenges left when court adjourned, the state two. Of about 40 tentative jurors there are only two women. Another special venire of 30 names was ordered today by the court.
 Judge Bernon announced tonight that he-expected the jury to be com pleted tomorrow.

SPORTS GALORE FOR FINAL DAY CROWD

Nothing was wrong with the last day program. and the world can be told. While the arena was full of racing men and horses, flying ropes, calves, bulls and steers in action and the multitude of other entertain ing things and persons at a wild west contest. Lieutenant Alexander Pearson, who did" the Grand Can yon by airplane. rode majestically overhead, having come over from Fort Whipple to sec the show. He drove the same ship with which he conquered the canyon-a De Havi- land with a 400-horsepower Liberty motor.
 Pearson and his mechanician, Ser geant Arthur Juengling. in the course of flight of hours, 45 minutes from the target range, circled the post, the town and the grounds and took a little side trip to the Roose- welt dam, where. he said, there was less water impounded than there was when he last viewed that place from above; a few weeks ago.

DEMPSEY RETURNS
 TO WESTERN HOME
lAseoclated Press Night Mirel

NEW YORK, July 5-Jack Demp- sey, worlds heavyweight boxing champion, quietly left his hotel here late today and a short time later was aboard a train bound for Salt Lake. He was accompanied by Teddy Hayes, his trainer, and De tective Sergeant Mike Trant, of Chi cago, who has been the champions body guard and constant companion since he began training for the bout with Carpenter. Jack Kearns, Demp- sey's manager, did not accompany the party. Jack will visit his mother, Mrs. Celia Dempsey. After the visit he probably will go to California.
 Trouble shot from two directions toward the champion during the day. His valuable limousine was seized by a deputy sheriff, acting on a writ issued last Friday in Batavia, N. Y.. in a $1OO,O0O suit brought by Frank Spellman in connection with mo- ton picture enterprise. In Jersey City, counsel for the International Reform Bureau endeavored to have him haled into court on a complaint charging him with assaulting Car pentier.
