Mexico City, July 11.-Chinese

nary warfare for several months
and so serious is the situation
they have created that a peti-

government to order the imme

The Chinese National League
in Sonora has been at odds for
several years with the members

state and numerous mysterious

charged to the activities Of these

FREEDOM Of PRESS IN
MEXICO NEAR REALITY

Mexico City, July 10.-Free-
dom Of the press in Mexico is
as nea1 a reality now as has been
recorded during the past half
century. according to competent
observers. Contrasted with the
censorship days Of Heurta and
Carranza, editors and CORES
pondents are enjoying almost
unprecedented liberty, and
President Obregon on several
occasions has emphasized that
newspapers and other Publica-
tions are free to go as far as
they like.
The newspapers Omegra and
Las Notlcias, the former a weekly
and The latter a daily, lead the op-
position to the administration and
the vindictiveness which they
display in almost every issue
would not have been tolerated
TOR more than one day during
the Carranza regime, for instance.
The more substantial newspapers
OF the capital spare no ink now in
telling the reading public where
IN they think the Obregon reg
ime IS at fault and even rank
mEquotations Of conversations
with the chief executive are al
lowed to pass with only a mild
protest.
President Obregon in one res
Fect offers sharp contrast to his
Predecessor President Carranza.
The present executive is much
more approachable and has none
CT the ;aoofness Of the former
First Chief. He receives news
paaperHen regularly every fort

Oh whom have been with him on

ealing Chapultepec Castle by

MERCHANTS LET CLERKS
attend THE BALL GAME
THIS AFTERNOON
MERCHANTS MEET TO DIS
CUSS THE QUESTION

At a called meeting Of the
Merchants Association this morn
ing, the question Of closing the
stores for the bali game this af-
ternoon was discussed.
Mr.. j. c.. Riddick, who is man
aging the local team, had asked
the merchants to kindly close
their stores a little while this af-
ternoon, in order that the clerks
and those Of the force wishing to
attend may do so. Mr.. Riddick s
reason for this, he stated, is that
the proceeds from the game may
be larger, which will help to pay
the huge deficit he sustained in
financing the league teams here
two years ago.
The merchants at the meeting
were all willing to help Mr.. Rid
dick out Of the loss he has had,
but, in as much as the attendance
at the meeting was small, Mr..
Riddick suggested that the mer-
chants, instead Of agreeing to
close their stores, kindly allow
their clerks and any Of the force
who care to do so, to go to the
game. This plan seemed to meet
the approval Of all present, and
committee Of three was ap-
pointed to see the absent mer-
chants and have the plan car
ried out.

HORSE PRESENTED QUEEN
AS WEDDING PRESENT

Bucharest, Rumania, July IL.
Members of the local Jockey
Club recently assembled six
horses and asked Princess
Marie, now Queen of Serbia, to
select one as wedding present.
With the Princess came her moth
er, Queen Marie of Rumania, and
LENA, tine younger daughter.
After seeing the horses, Prin-
cess Marie was unable to choose
between two. "Well, let us pre-
sent you the span,' gallantly Of
the members and the offer was
accepted.
Then, it was remembered that
the day was the birthday of Prin-
cess 'lena, and she was offered
horse, which she selected and
accepted. inally, it seemed un-
graceful not to offer a horse
to the Queen, who is a splendid
horsewcman. and this offer she
accepted. Had the King been
present, ;. doubtless he would have
been offered the two remaining
horses.

for the business being done-un-
der a Republican administration.
The bill makes no provision
for regulations Of freight rates on
the water>end creates a gigantic
combination which can make
rates as high as it chooses and
leave the shippers helpless.
Whether they will make the rates
high can be determined by bark
ing back to the open robbery Of
the war rates.
In the Committee hearings
practical steamship men admit
ted that the wages of our seamen
do not hurt the American steam
ship in competition with Euro.
pean vessels. Their testimony
showed that the difference in
these wages does not exceed two
per cent. John c.. Seager, Jr.,
vice-president Of the Seager
Steamship Company, admitted in
the hearings that there is no rea-
son why American ships cannot
compete with the world under
present conditions; his and other
companies are doing it. The on
ly difficulty he saw was that
some of the American companies
paid very large salaries to un-
necessary executives, some Of
them as high as 100000 per
year, greater than that Of Pres
ident Harding.
The bill provides for the Ship
ping Board to make subsidy con-
tracts with the shipping trust
covering periods Of ten years
this to prevent an effective repeal
of the law, for it's repeal by 4
new Congress would not stop the
robbery. Of the peoples treasury.
The bill even fixes it so that this
fund is not dependent on each
Congress appropriating the
money annually as is done for
all other expenses Of the Govern
ment.
The bill confers on the Ship
ping Board the most enormous
and unrestricted powers in re
gard to selling ships, making
loans and subsidy contracts and
! in handling enormous sums OF
money. The present members OF
the Board are rushing about the
country making speeches in fay-
or Of the bill at Government ex~
pense.

in the form Of subsidies, by fif-
, ty per cent, than the total
amount paid in subsidies, and
! ocean mail pay by all Of the
other countries Of the world put

Ship Subsidy Bill Would
Cost Three Quarters Billion

Washington, D. c., July H.
President Harding has gone to
the country to sound sentiment
on the pending Ship Subsidy Bill
Unfortunately, he will not tell
certain facts about the effect Of
this bill-he is so intensely for
lhe measure that he will sing it's
praises, with none present to
state to the audience the follow
ing truths which the people are
entitled to know:
The bill proposes to turn over
to the shipping trust So, 900, ,O0O,-
900 worth Of fine steel ships
',uilt by the Government, the
most modern fleet in the world,
most Of them oil-burners. The
people Of the United States own
these ships. The bill proposes
to sell them to this group of cap.
italists for $200,0OO,000, or one
fifteenth of their cost.
The bill also proposes to lend
these men $125, 100000 to recon.
dition the ships. Il they had
been properly cared for during
the Harding administration this
would not be needed.
The bill provides for the pay
ment Of a subsidy Of $4,000, 900
to the capitalists in the next ten
years for using this great grab Of
ships for their own private gain.
During three recent years the
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies
Steamship Company made clear
profit Of 100 per cent on its
shipping business without a sub
sidy; the published reports Of
the company show this, and it is
merely used here as an example
because it is one Of the largest
of American companies During
the war some ships earned their
entire cost in one trip. There is
no reason why any Of them
should fail to be self-suppofting
at any time.
This subsidy will be paid even
to the ships Of the Standard Oil
Company and the Steel Corpora
! ton for transporting their own
products in their own ships for
their own profit. Is it any won
der they are all for Harding ?
And the passage Of this bill
greatly increases the list Of call
ing places for the campaign fund
collectors Of the Republican par
ty when Mr.. Harding comes up
for reelection. Is it any won
der, therefore, that Warren is
for the bill?
| Under this bill the army and
navy transports will be abolished
sold for junk at great loss
and the business turned over to
/, the trust, when we already have
: the ships, built and paid for
not only the transports. but the
merchant fleet--in our own pos
session. Is there a business man
in the country who would make
such deal?
j The bill does not require any
reports to be made to Congress
and 40 accounting as to earnings
!, of these ships. Thus the people
! will never know how badly tbs
! Republican party sold them out
The bill exempts the shipping
trust from the payment Of Il al
Federal taxes, providing the
! amount is set aside for the build
;, ing Of new ships and all th'
time the party is claiming tina
