Pearl Poachers.

Pearl poaching is new industry
with the coastal waters of the Gulf
of California for its scene of opera
tions. The pearl fishing monopoly which
existed in the Pacific wtaers of Mexi-
co for many years during the REGIME
of President Porfrio Diaz was done
away with during the administration
Of President Carranza. This left the
pearling grounds open to many indie
pendent companies and individuals.
Japanese interests were quick to OBJ
tain most of the choice breeding
grounds of the bivalyes in which the
pearls are found.
II is chiefly the Japanese who now
complain that raids are made almost
nightly upon their pearl fishing pos
sessions by fast moving motor boats
II is stated that these boats are evil
IDENTIFY well equipped for poaching.
They run without showing lights and
carry expert divers II is asserted that
pearls to the value Of many thou
sands Of dollars have been taken from
the privately owned holdings by the
raiding parties. The Mexican govern
ment recently ordered two coast guard
boats to those waters and they are
now on constant patrol duty.-kansss

SINGLE G.. BREAKS
TRACK RECORD
Negotiates Mile in zoo at State Fair
Track in Free
for-All.

White River Junction Sept. l6.--
The track record of s:l0M was low
cred yesterday at the Vermont state
fair by Single O., who did the mile in
2:06. This was accomplished under
most unfavorable conditions. The
track was heavy and the racing was
held up until $3.50 o'clock in the aft
ernoon, when the free-for all pace, for
purse Of $4,000 was called.
Single @. made the quarter in 81
seconds; the half mile in ! :03, the
three quarters in 1885, and the mile in
2:06. But two heats were trotted
when a heavy downpour Of rain pre-
vented further racing. There were
also two heats trotted in free-for-
all trot, and 2.l9 trot.
The attendance was 1900. A heavy
rain during the night prevented the
assembling of the largest crowd Of the
week to witness the fine racing SEIZED
ule of the last day of the fair.

McAdoo and Cox.

Presumably, when the time comes,
Mr.. McAdoo will make his own an
nouncement respecting 1924. The gen.
eral belief is that he will again stand
for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation.
This is founded, first, on the excel
lent race he made two years ago, and,
second, on the marked interest Cover
nor Cox is showing in politics at pres
emit.
Mr. McAdoo looked like winner at
San Francisco during the greater part
Of the exciting and protracted ballot
ings. His support was well distributed
geographically, and the management Of
his interests in the convention skillful
He was "nosed OUT of the nominal ton
in an exceedingly spirited finish Al
though loser, he came out of the race
with much prestige.
That Governor Cox il again taking
notice" is the popular Interpretation
put upon bis trip abroad and the inter
views he has given on his travels con.
corning world conditions and what the
United States should do in behalf of
world rehabilitation. Wherever he has
gone he has been received as man OF
consequence at home, likely to continue
to play an important part in American
affairs.
As both Mr.. MeAdoo and Governor
Cox are comparatively young men, both
fond Of politics and able to afford the
game, there is much of a persuasive
character in the suggestion that both
will be entrants in the 1924 race, and
that, as in 1920, they win be backed to
the limit by their friends. And booms
and buttons should soon appear.

There is no walk in life--so the Gid
