Austin. Texas.AThe Wiley Wild
cats, who are making such wonderful
strides in southern football circles,
took the fast and aggressive, Sam
Huston eleven to defeat, 40 to o.
Although they were defeated last
week by Paul Quinn, last seasons
champion, the Wildcats weren't slow
ed bit in their terrible onslaught.
Not once during the whole game were
they in any immediate danger of be-
ing defeated. Much of the playing
was confined to Sam Huston's terri
tory.
The first touchdown came after sew
eral minutes of play of the first quar-
ter, when Capt. Gillespie, Wiley's
halfback, plunged through Huston's
line for a 12-yard gain and a touch
down. In the second quarter Capt.
Gillespie intercepted one of Sam Hus-
tons passes and carried the pigskin
40 yards for the score. In the third
period Quarterback Hines of Wiley
made two touchdowns. Orange and
Walker added to the score with two
more. Newton and Wheatly took the
honors for Sam Huston.

For Camp Leaders

Six or eight public spirited, pat

the spirit of youth and who believe
in boys and want to do the lads a
GOOD turn are needed as adult group
leaders at the hoy scout camp
which open Saturday at Point Iona,
according to S. l.. McCrory, scout
executive.
Due to the fact that number of
scout masters of various troops i'm
the valley have left for the summer,
there is Il very great need at this
time for men who can go to the
camp for the period of one or two
weeks, and take charge of II group
of 16 boys. 1T is estimated con
servatively that around 100 boys
will go from this district, and men
who will volunteer to accompany
them will be doing a fine work, as
well rs securing for themselves, a
splendid vacation at a minimum
cost, $500 per week being the
charge.

VALLEY STATIONS

According to announcements
made today by the Standard Oil
Company, building program of
consdS Serable jimportance is about
to be launched in the valley, a to-
tai of nine strictly modern service
stations being planned for imme-
diate construction.
Two excellent locations in this
city have. already been leased, one
at the northwest corner of Fourth
and Main Streets, and another on
the northeast corner of Eighth and
Main. Equipment for these build
ings has begun to arrive, and it is
expected that work will be begun
at once, so that the stations may
be completed by the latter part of
July.
The new stations will be of the
same high class as those located on
the coast, but will be of different
type of construction, special plans
having been made to adapt them to
climatic conditions.
1T is declared that CaleXico
Brawlev and Holtville will also be

by United Press Leased Wire

PEKIN, June 27.-Fire swept
through the Forbidden City today.
The ancient imperial palace con
tanning the relics Of all the en-
perors was destroyed together with
dozens of smaller buildings sur
rounding it.
Woourn plaques, upon which wer.'
carved the histories of dynasties
stretching back into almost forgot
ten ages, were devoured by the
flames and stories of many centuries
before Christ wiped out forever.
Claim Ir.;endiarism
According to seemingly authentic
reports the fire was of incendiary
origin. Servants are said to have
sold valuable curios 10 American and
British tourists and to have set
fire to the ancestral hal Ito escape
detection.
Little credit is attached to reports
that the fire resulted from Il plot
to drive the emperor from Pekin.
The imperial palace was not dam
aged, according to police aud the
emperor s life was not threatened.
The Forbidden City lies within
closely guarded walls and few for
eigners have penetrated its mys-
teries, although in recent years the
Chinese authorities have looked upon
the spot with more reverence than
when a long line of emperors ruled

Ey LAWRENCE MARTIN
U. P. Staff Correspondent.

Copyright 1924 By Ur,' ted Prc-5)
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June
27.-One week of close contact with
American people has convinced Pres
ident Harding that the country as
far as he has seen it, approves of
his administration and its policies.
This is in spite Of the fact, well
known to Mr.. Harding, that in that
one week of his transcontinental
speaking tour he has stirred up an
imosities by every speech he has
delivered.
The opposition he has aroused by
his proposal of n self world court
for railroad consultations, by his
virtual silence on agricultural
freight rate reductions and his
challenging position on prohibition
enforcement means little to the
president. That opposition he feels
existed before he spoke; il may be
little more aroused and indignant
now but it is no more powerful in
his opinion.
Disarms Many Critics
On the other hand he is convinced
that he has so expressed the aims
of his administration and explained
its achievements that he has dis
armed many of his critics, who, he
thinks, will not now find so ready
and audience among the people who
have had from him first hand re-
port on national and international
issues.
Furthermore the trip has already
justified itself in the fresher insight
it has given him into the mood of
the people, the president feels. He
will go back to Washington better
attuned to the popular desire and
feeling, as he does, that he has
strong support, he is prepared to
be more aggressive than in the
past for things he believes the coun
try wants.
Millions Behind Him
He is going to continue testing
the public mind and his attitude
may be expected to become more
challenging to his opponents from
now on. 1t has been noticeably more
vigorous since he was accorded sucE
great reception in Kansas City.
Each succeeding speech has struck
a deeper and stronger note of chal-
lenge and less of appeal or argument
The president feels he has millions
of people back of him and he i.
coming to care less therefore for his
views of individuals.
Meanwhile the backfire agains
him is about to be started. His
proposed railroad consolidation plan
will be mercilessy criticized by
Clyde Reed of the Kansas City utiE
tiles commission in a speech at A
chisolS Kansas, soon.
Speech making was taboo for the
president today us lie and Mrs
Harding took the opportunity to
enjoy the wonders and beauties of
nature in Zion Park, Utah.
Following a day of sightseeing the
party will leave tonight for idaho.
