Washington, ID. G., Sept. II.
Guatemalan affairs are in serious dis
order with a revolution threatened
against the government of President
Hererra. The revolt against Hererra is
a double affair, threatened on one side
by members CO his own Cabinet and by
the Liberal party on the other.
Between the two. President Hererre
is in difficult position. The disorders
reported throughout the country may
cause the renewal of a territorial regime
similar to that which existed in South
ern Mexico In the Zapatista period.
Indian uprisings are inspired. 1t is

tive group. including M. Garcia Salas.

OBSERVE ALL LAWS,
STOTESBURY'SPLEA
Deplores Tendency to Lawlcss-
ness in Constitution Day
Speech at ub-Treasury.

A strict observance Of law and order
even of an unpopular law--together
with a resumption OF industry. These
were characterized as the prime essen
tials to the complete restoration Of
the nations post war balance, in an
address delivered yesterday by Brig
Gen. Louis w. Stotesbury, formerly
Adjutant General Of the State. in COM
memoration OF the 134th anniversary
OF the signing OF the Constitution OF
the United States.
The observance was staged at tho
Sub Treasury Building. occupying the
site of the old Federal Hall, where
Washington first was inaugurated
President Of the United States. Gen.
Stotesbury described the unprecedent-
ed increase in lawlessness which, he
said, exists in many quarters with "a
tendency and daring to challenge the
very Constitution itself" Patriotic
Americans are not indifferent to those
conditions and tendencies. They In
tend that these destructive forces shall
be combated by constructive patriot
ism.
It is fitting therefore, the speaker
said, that al! over the United States
celebrations like this should be held
where patriotic men and women might
consecrate anew their devotion to that
fundamental law which created and has
maintained the greatest democracy In
the history OF the world.

recovery was the resumption Of our on

when theIndians were to kill the LIB
erals OF Antigua with the protection OF
the Mayor. The plot was foiled. A
similar situation has arisen in Chiqui-
mula and the Liberals have sought ref
uge in Guatomala City.
A few days ago Indians at ST. Angus
tin. Acasaguastlan, murdered the mili-
tary commander. Col. Leonardo, and
two Of his men. and attacked the tow,,.
They were driven out by troops from
Zacapa. When they fed they left let
ters which are said 10 have barred the
plot by the Conservative leaders. Among
the letters was one signed by G.
Bianchi brother OF the Minister at
Washington. The reports do not de-
scribe the nature of this letter. Another
well known Liberal. Col. Bustamente.
was murdered at the same time while
seeking to save his three children.
American missionaries In the Depart
ment OF Esquintla were assaulted by
Indians on the night OF August 2s while
holding religious service at the residence
of one of their number.
Several of the missionaries were seri-
ousy injured. Inquiries by the mis-
sionaries developed that the Indians
claimed TO be acting under the direction
of the Mayor Of the town, who IS a
Conservative leader.

Guatemala City will be checked by Gen.

JERSEY ASKS U. S.
AID IN COALPROBE
Prosecution Urged Under Fed
eral Law Owing to Lack Of
Statute Covering Case.

Senator Mackay, chairman of the
legislative committee which has been
conducting an investigation into the coal
situation In New Jersey with a Wow to
determining whether price -dxing existed
among the dealers. sent letter yester-
day to United States Attorney Geran
in Newark asking him to examine the
testimony taken by the committee.
The letter suggested that faces may
have been brought out which would war
rant prosecution under Federal acts, and
contained the statement that Senator
Maclsay has discovered that there arc
no New Jersey laws now under which
a prosecution might be sought.
The suggestion that information had
been received in the committee hear
ing that would warrant prosecution came
az something Of surprise to those who
have been following the investigation.
Senator Mackay did not explain what
charges no had In mind or what per-
sons or companies he believed might bs
subject to prosecution.
In his letter Senator Mackay said:
"It appears from the testimony. among
other things. that conspiracy exists.
the nature and particulars OF which are
set forth in part of the evidence. I do
not know of any State statute that will
reach the possible case and am invok-
ing your aid as chairman Of the COM
mittee in order that any person or per-
sons guilty OF violating a Federal
statute in such cases as made and pro-
vided may be brought to justice.
II feel that you will agree with me
and will do anything in your power 20
have justice DONE"
Mr.. Geran said upon receipt Of the
letter that he would give consideration
to tho testimony. The lack Of law re-
ferred TO by Senator Maclsay Is under
stood to have been due to the repeal OF
the Seven Sisters" law. which was n pet
measure OF Gov. Woodrow Wilson and
repealed in Gov. Edges regime.
Mr.. Geran, then minority leader in the
Assembly, opposed the repeater. The
Seven Sisters act was against monop-
olies.

KetcheI Dropped
Johnson, but Negro
Stopped Him in 18th

Anybody who wasn't afraid of Jack
johnson and who packed stinging
wallop in either fist was known as a
white hope after the Texas Negro be-
came heavyweight champion of the
world. The first important white hope
to tackle johnson was Stanley ketchel,
whose triumphs had been among mid
.dleweights.
He was no match for the powerful
Johnson. who knocked him out in
twelve rounds at Colma, Cal. October
16. 1909. Ketchel weighed only III
pounds. while Johnson's total displace
ment was 10S pounds.
Only once in the twelve rounds was
there an opportunity for the Michigan
fighter to win. This was just mo-
ment before the finish, when Ketche
sent the champion to the floor with q
left swing to the jaw. johnson toppled
over on bis back and made several at.
tempts to rise before he succeeded
Whether he was purposely staying dowr
for a rest. no one ever learned.

The first battle with Bombardier

of courage by the young Frenchman,
who was outweighed many pounds. He
took the count Of nine in the first round
