Straight Post Charges
Attempt at Gag Rule
Replies to Recommendation of
County Legion Board That
IL Be SUSPENDED

The executive committee of Will
ard Straight Post Of the American
Legion issued d statement yesterday In
reply to the action taken by the county
committee of the Legion Wednesday
night in recommending the suspension
of the Legion to silence the minority,
outspoken opposition to giving prefer
ence to veterans in state civil service,
in which it was said:
"This action of the county committee
changes the situation from one Of q
mere difference of opinion about this
amendment. 1t becomes now a struggle
for freedom Of speech as against gag
rule. If it is possible for majority
of the legion to silence the minority,
then the entire democratic foundation
upon which the Legion has been built
is overturned.
1--WE believe that in taking an agrees
sive public stand against this amend
ment we are representing a widespread
sentiment among ex-service men, The
statement of Willard Straight Post
expressed the unanimous sentiment of
it's members"

GHOsTLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend of the City of Mexico That
Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super
stitious Residents.

One of the strange legends of the
City of Mexico has to do with the Gale
de los Parados (Street of the Two
Idlers). According to the story there
was a beautiful girl Dona Maria Ysa-
bel de Vallejo Y Vezca, who lived on
the street, and was beloved by two
men, one young officer and the other
young merchant. After the custom
of the land at that period (about 165O)
they indicated their love by standing,
one at each corner of the block, until
the dona appeared.
A plague fell upon the city about
this time and the girl died without it
becoming known to her lovers. She
was taken out and buried by night,
also unknown to the suitors. The
next day they stood at their respective
posts waiting in vain. The day after
they stood, and the day after that,
week after week, month after month,
and year after year. They at last
died. still on their posts, and their
ghosts are said to still stand at night,
cloaked and CHASTITY, in the darkest
shadows of the streets.

Tex. Indians first reported it. Then
Spanish missionaries and soldiers,
working their way northward from the
outpost of San Antonio, heard of the
Honey mine" 1t was said to be high
up on a hill and inaccessible, except
by hanging over cliff.
In later years, after the Indians and
Spanish were gone, efforts were made
to enter this cave, and one adventur-
er is said to have been stung to death.
The most promising clew in the pos
headquarters in Fort Worth during his
quest, is from San Saba county. There
honey cave exists, and is high up on
the hillside. Residents near there,
however, will not venture an opinion
as to the amount Of honey stored
away in the cavern recesses or as to
the age of the cave. But they say
positively no one has ever been able
to reach the honey.
At one time young men living near
the 'mine" organized to get the honey.
The leader, armed with a blast of ex-
plosive, was lowered over the face of
the cliff and down to the cave en-
trance. But the blast exploded pre-
maturely and the man barely escaped
with his life.
Rees estimates that the honey, If 1t
exists in the rumored amount and can
be. distilled, would be worth approx
mately $1,0OO,0O0,0OO.
