MOHAWK AND MERCURY.
ELEVENS OLD RIVALS.

Spurred by hope of winning the
most coveted championship at stake
on local sandlots in years. Mohawk
and Mercury clubs, two old. rivals,
will meet Sunday at Union Park, 18th
and H streets northeast.
A new Mercury club it will be to
face the Mohawks this time. During
the period that had its most exciting
battles six years ago, Mercury as
cended to the far heights of sandlot
glory, only to be brought to earth in
annual encounters by the Indian
tomahawk.
Trojan A. c. was another team of
the Southwest which mixed in the
melee of that time always to come
out near the top. but with the Mo-
hawks always ahead. Both Trojan
and Mercury disbanded and left the
Southwest section in need of a rep
resentative eleven.
Now come two crack teams to give
in foot ball. The Southern A. c.,
neighborhood rival of the new Mer-
curry club, is forging ahead with the
latter. Southern started it's career
this season as 140-pound team, but
vanquished all strong elevens in that
class, and now is challenging all
others.
Southern made what is believed to
be record for this section by scor-.
ing two touchdowns in a minute and.
a half against the big Dreadnaught
team of Alexandria, which hadn't
been beaten in four years. One was
achieved on four successive forward
passes.
Mohawk and Mercury have risen by
defeating virtually the same teams.

 SUIT TO RECOVER S20O ,0O0, ,OO0 FROM DIRECTORATE IF RAILROAD

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Suit for the recovery of S200,00O, ,000, which it is alleged is the loss sustained by the Denver & Rio Grande railroad as a result of an alleged unlawful combi- nation and conspiracy Nby men who served on the directorate of the rail- road during the past 10 years was started today in the supreme court

 As the first step, the complaint says, the alleged conspirators, di- rectors of both the Missouri Pacific and the Denver & Rio Grande, caused the latter to default a mortgage pay rnent to the Western Pacific, al- though the road had funds to meet it. By this action, and succeeding ones, the directors caused foreclosure pro- ceedings to be instituted against the Rio Grande," it adds.
 In one protest sent to the directors the stockholders committee wrote:
 During the last few months di- rectors and officers of the Denver & Rio Grande have been mute and im- movable while a death blow was be- ing dealt the company. They have supinely allowed properties of tre- nendous value, doubtless worth ESQ., OO0, 900, to be sold for $5,000,000 un- der a defective and unintelligible mo- tice of sale, whereby assets worth millions of dollars were not revealed ?
 Stock of the railroad was stricken from the New York stock exchange last August, Shortly before this the stock was selling at less than sl a share. The stock was removed from the exchange after notice was re- ceived from the secretary of the road that the property had been trans ferred to the Western Pacific.

 WATSON ASSA|LS FORD IN SENATE IF KIMBERLY CASE
raspubllean A. P. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov 21- The Ford -Newberry senatorial election contest in Michigan was laid aside by the senate tonight probably not to come formally before the body again for several weeks. After a day of dis cussion fin which Henry Ford, who is contesting the seating of Senator Newberry. was both denounced and defended and which was enlivened by tilt between Senator Williams. of Mississippi and Watson, Georgla, Democrats, the election controversy was sidetracked to make way for the revenue bill. No agreement as to date of a vote was reached.
 The clash between Senators Will jams and Watson developed when the latter attacked MT. Ford and declared that left over Wilsonites," in the senate were seeking to retire NIT | Newberry because he had opposed the league of nations.
 MT. Williams said he regarded MT Ford as ''so far superior in altruism in world sense. and in world vision to the senator from Georgia, tWatson) and myself, that I can hardly find

Studio Janitor To
 Testify For State
 In Arbuckle Trial
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel

L
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21. - The Arbuckle trial took new angle to- day with the calling of a witness by whom, the prosecution attorneys announced, they hoped to prove a motive for the alleged attack on Vir- ginia Rappe which it is charged caused her death.
 This new witness was Jesse K. Norgard, janitor of motion picture studio.
 Norgard and Alice Blake and Fey Provost, show girls, occupied most of the session today. Both the show girls were presented at the party 1T the rooms of Roscoe C. ('Fatty") Arbuckle, in the Hotel St. Francis here, at which she argued he in1lict- ed fatal injuries on Miss Rappe.
 Norgard's introduction as a wit ness evoked a long argument and all he had been allowed to say wher court recessed for the night was that Arbuckle once had offered him "a roll of bills" for a key to Miss Rap pes room at the studio, and that he had refused the offer.
 Both Miss Provost and Miss Blake testified that after Miss Rappe had been found, moaning, in Arbuckle': bedroom, she said He thurt me" TC whom the pronoun referred was no made clear in the evidence. Much of Miss Prevost's cross ex' animation was given over to efforts by the defense to determine whether the prosecution had exercised an, pressure on her in regard to the tes timony she was to give at the trial

DEFENSE PLEA 1T ROY GARDNER
 RORRER IF MAILS
 MAY BE INSANITY
Trial of Notorious Bandit Probably Will Be Started In the United States Court In P h o e n i x Thanksgiving Day

That Roy Gardner, spectacular fig ure in the crime world who Is now a prisoner in the county jail here and who received his second sentence of 25 years for a mail robbery on his fifth anniversary, June 1, 1921, will enter his trial hese for the attempted robbery here on Thanksgiving day was indicated yesterday by Thomas A. Flynn, United States district at- torney.
 Judge William H. Sawtelle, judge of the United States district court for the district of Arizona, has or dered the grand and trial juries to convene at the federal court here at 9:3O o'clock tomorrow morning. The charge against Gardner-that of at tempting to rob a mail car and of assaulting a railway mail clerk with @ dangerous weapon-will be placed immediately before the grand jury, and it is considered probable that the deliberations of this body will be ended and an, indictments if one is found, returned before tomorrow eve ming If an immediate indictment is returned the trial will begin tomor- row; but If the indictment is found late in the afternoon Gardner will enter court on the morning of Thanksgiving day.
 While, because of the nature of the | case. it was believed at first that the trial would be brief, developments yesterday pointed to the probability 1 that the case will be a long one and perhaps a very interesting one. This assumption is based on assertions l that Carl A. Davis, who is represent 1 ing Gardner as counsel, intends to en- | ter a plea of insanity for his client | and attempt to prove that Gardner | was insane even before the commis- sion of his first mail robbery at San Diego, two years ago. The govern ment's case will be under the direc- ton of Thomas A. Flynn, United
 States attorney, and his assistants,
 John H. Langston and Joseph +. Holub.
 The sentenc in the case, provided Gardner is indicted and found guilty, will be 25 years in a federal .peni-
 ten ~iary, according to Attorney Flynn l There is no minimum nor maximum
 penalty for the charge against Gard
 ner, nor has the judge any discretion in assessing the penalty against him l The statutes call for simply 25 years | which is also the case in a. second l charge of plain mail robbery as well as in a charge of assault with a | deadly weapon upon a mail clerk It Is also the intention of Attorney Flynn to present to the grand jury 1 tomorrow the charge of the govern | ment against Gardner that he is guilty of the robbery of the Southern
 Pacific mail car at Maricopa on the
 morning of Nov. 3. A complete case
 has been built up against Gardner
 for the Maricopa robbery, it was said l yesterday. with ample evidence to in
 sure an indictment by the grand iury
 against him and his consequent con.
 viction upon trial. The final steps
 in the preparation of the govern.
 ment's case were taken yesterday when it was announced the last loop.
 hole for Gardner had been stopped
 and that the government is ready fol trial.

 MEXICO CITY. Nov. 21. - Dis@ patches from Washington reporting that Henry P. Fletcher, American under-secretary of state, might be given another governmental post, has caused much excitement here, some newspapers proclaiming this move would be portentous of a changed United States policy toward Mexico.
 For two weeks there have been numerous unconfirmed reports that negotiations relative to the recogni- ton of the Mexican government had been taken up between George T. Summerlin. American charge. and the foreign office. When MT. Summer lin last week was closeted for more than an hour with Foreign Minister Pani, newspapers engaged in a furry of speculation. MT. Summerlin as- sured The Associated Press core spondent that his visit with the Mexican foreign minister concerned routine matters only"
 The attitude of Fl Democrata today was that MT. Fletcher's resignation from his present post would be in- dicative of immediate recognition of Mexico by the United States.
