GOVERNOR RELY
TO LIVE IN PALACE
OLD SPANISH CASTLE TO BE
HOME OF KANSAS CITY
FRIEND OF HARDING.

Kansas City, Mo.-(By A. P.)-
From residence on quiet street
in Kansas City, E. Mont Reilly is
moving to a palace in the topics, a
palace built in the year 1915, with
thirty-five rooms, twenty-one serv-
ants, a throne room where once Span
ish governors ruffled it in armor and
bright colored silks, and courtyard
gardens bright with flowers.
The palace is one of the perrequis-
ties that goes with being governor of
Porto Rico, position to which Presi-
dent Harding appointed his friend
mont" Reilly a few weeks ago. Gov
ernor Reilly sailed Tor his new domain
July 10, to take up the task of colon
ial administration that has been as
signed to him. He has already de-
voted considerable time and thought
to the problems of Porto Rico and
has tentatively formulated number
of policies which he hopes to carry
out.
81 want to see Porto Rico as truly
and completely American as any
state in our union,r the governor
said in discussing his plans for the
island, "and have no sympathy for
the movement for making Porto Rico
Independent I do not believe that
the rank and file of Porto Ricans
want it, either; the independent
propagandists are professional agita-
tors, many of whom were not even
born on the island. To the Porto
Ricans who desire independence, l
would say: Make Porto Rico full
fledged state of the union; elect your
own governors then, and you will
have all the independence you want,
and be infinitely better off than if !
the island were an Independent ma
tion.' And the thoughtful men of
Porto Rico, looking around them at
some of the nominally independent
countries of the West Indies, strug-
CLING with debts and other handicaps,
appreciate the advantage of belong
ing to Uncle Sam.
Il don't know what the feeling of
the President and Secretary Weeks
would be in regard to statehood for
Porto Rico, and while I should like
to see it, whatever their views are,
are mine.

MEX|COITO CLAIM
PACIFIC ISLANDS
IMPORTANT ISLANDS OFF COAST
OF CALIFORNIA MAY BE
CLAIMED BY MEXICO

San Antonia, Tex-(By A. P.)-
Contentious upon which Mexico may
base her claims to a number of isl
ands just off the coast of California
in the Pacific ocean, which are now
occupied by Americans and are under
the control of the United States, are
summed up in a report made to Pres
ident Obregon by General Amanda
Aguirre, sub-secretary of agriculture
and chief of the commission making a
study Of the islands, according to an
account in Excelsior, published in
Mexico City. The report declares
that the claim of Mexico to the ISL
ands is indisputable, but that the
Mexican government is willing for
the islands to remain under the Amer
lean flag in return for foreign credit,
the amount of which was not stipu-
lated
Included in the group of islands is
Santa Catalina, of which William
Wrigley, Jr., of Chicago, is sole own
er. Others are the Farrollones, San
Migual, Santa Rosa, Santa Veracruz,
Anacapa, Santa Barbara, Santa Nico-
las and San Clemente.
The arguments Of General Aguirre
in favor of Mexico's claims to the ISL
ands, as published in Excelsior, are:
"The United States is not occupying
them by right of discovery, because
they were discovered in the 18th CEN
tury by the Spanish navigator Cab
rillo, who gave them the names which
they now bear.
"They are not occupied by right of
as Mexico has never sold
them to any person or nation.
"They are not occupied by right of
as they were never con-
luered.
"They are not occupied by right Of
territorial jurisdiction, because the
code of the United
States set the principal that the terri
,orial jurisdiction Of nation cannot
extend farther than league from
shore, and the islands in question are
1T greater distance from the shore
# the United States.
"The international code of the
United States rejects the right of con-
luest by stating that not all territory
belongs to the conqueror,
tut only that part assigned by definite
of duly authorized trea-
ies."
Further proof of the claim of Mexi-
o to the islands is cited in the decree
f the queen of Spain in 1886, de-
laring that in the future all possess
ions of the Kingdom of the
Jew Spain belonged to the Republic
f Mexico, a sovereign nation. For
lany years, Mexico actually exercised
ontrol over the islands, it is asserted.
In substantiation Of the assertion
nat Mexico exercised dominion over |
he islands, it is pointed out that a
ecree was issued June 20, 1888, ]
the governor of California
, make grants of any part of the ISL {
nds to Mexicans, according to the
5ipulatoins of the law of August 18, I
324, and that the titles to parts of
le islands granted to Castillero and
arriol in 1889 and 1841 were nulli-
ed by later DEGREES of President (

WHY
1t Means Good Fortune to
Dream of Peas.

Every known vegetable has mean.
Ing to the mystic interpreters when It
appears In dream and with regard to
most Of them the oracles are definite
enough. But with regard to peas the
interpretations are rather confusing
and at times contradictory. The great
majority Of the mystcs, however see
In dream Of peas fortunate omen
for those engaged In business.
Many Of the oracles speak OF a
dream Of eating peas as that most IA
vorable for business success and make
no mention Of dream Of merely see
ing peas without eating them. One or
two qualify the good omen Of Il dream
Of eating peas by specifying that they
must seem luscious to the taste" In
order that the dream may attain its
full benefcence. These same oracles
insist that the peas eaten In the dream
be cooked for, say they, to dream OF
eating raw peas implies vexations and
dlsappointments.
One or two lonely prophets say that
to see green peas In dream Is sign
Of good health. but II they are cooked
It is a sign Of Illness. This with re-
gard to the being cooked Is, 1t will be
seen, at direct variance with the vast
majority Of the mystic interpretations

COVE COMMENTS

ATTEND, l venture to record the
doings at the very successful com
bined Washington-Lincoln birth
day and basket social at our
Community hall last Saturday
night.
Your correspondent first took
the folks on a low water fishing
trip amongst the rocks of Jersey
Island. Messrs Park and Crosier
congratulated themselves on the
fact that they were born in the
same month as Washington and
Lincoln and duly deposited their
pennies in the glass, but neither
George Washington or Abraham
Lincoln appeared in their astral
bodies to deposit whatever stands
for pennies over there. Mr..
Clements made a humorous speech
and Mr.. Hunt also deposited the
coin but we had to guess his age.
There were several selections Civ
en- by the Misses Siegrist. Mr.
Ramquist of excellent memory,
gave recitation without falter-
ing as usual. Next in order was
the basket social. A long table
groaned under the weight of many
multicolored baskets of good eats.
These were supposed to be sold
by weight, that is, one penny for
each pound the lady weighed and
strange to say they all, each, and
individually weighed just one
hundred pounds. However the
contents of the baskets were soon
disposed of. Among the visitors
were Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace, Mr..
and Mrs. Deyo and Mr.. Prigg, Jr.
wife and daughter. Taking in
all it was a very enjoyable and
successful event.

we wipe such a slur on our

at least equal to the European

MORE PROTECTION FOR
BROKERS' CUSTOMERS
Ne.D Change Rulings Affect
Borrowing on Securities

Two resolutions designed to make
more specific and more rigid the rules of
the New York Stock Exchange concern
ing brokers' use Of his customers Sc
curities were adopted Wednesday by
the governing committee and announced
yesterday. The lrst prohibits the broker
from borrowing on customers securities
more than Is fair or reasonable In view
of the obligations of the customer to the
broker" The second prohibits the broker
from using a customers securities to
make delivery against a sale made for
the account Of the house or any partner.
Violations Of both rules are declared to
be inconsistent with "just and equitable
principles of trade" and their violators
are liable to severe punishment by the
Exchanges governors. Recent develop
ments in Stock Exchange circles are un-
derstood to be the reason for these
changes.
The new resolution relating to borrow
ing on q customers securities read as
follows:
"Resolved. That an agreement between
a Stock Exchange house and a customer
authorizing the house to pledge securi-
ties carried for the account of the GUS
toner or to lend such securi-
ties, does not justify the Stock Exchange
house in pledging or loaning more of
such securities than Is fair or reasonable
in view of the obligations Of the GUS
toner to the broker"
In other words, according to an ex-
PLANTATION obtained yesterday, If a Gus
toner has in a house securities which arc
margined to the extent of SO per cent. OF
their value the house will not be per-
mitted to borrow more than so per cent
against those securities. That move is
designed to stop the practice in some
houses of allowing privileged customers
TO keep thinly margined accounts, carried
along by stronger accounts heavier mar
gins.

Downturns in wheat came after dis
play of strength which lasted until
about midday. Continued smallness of
rural offerings. together with gossip that
export business of late had been greatly
underestimated. had much, to do with
keeping sentiment bullish. Profit taking,
however. by leading holders, including a
big elevator concern, did much TO under
mine confidence. When the nearly COM
plete stoppage OF export inquiries began
to attract attention the course of values
was decidedly downhill German bids

cents out of line. Only 100000 bushels
Besides, the edge appeared to have been
taken off domestic demand for cash
