STANDARD NAMES FOR PLANTS ARE SOUGHT
Many Flowers Are Miscalled, Amer

CHICAGO July 21.-(By Associated Press. )--The chaotic state of affairs in the miscalling of names tf flow CTS, plants and other perennials, has made necessary the standardization of their names, and a report on the subject has been adopted by the American Association of Nursery men.
 The compilation of names of these perennials, the result of more than five years of actual work on the part ot the subcommittee of the Amer ican joint committee of horticultural- ists, is heralded as a great stride for ward in the horticultural world.
 As an example. the committee pointed out that there are more than 2.O00 names for roses. Many names are used for the same rose, and this has resulted in complication With the completion of the new nomencla- ture, it is hoped that use of the standard names will become general
 Standardized perennial names both common and scientific, Will benefit the public and the grower, according to the committee, and Will tend to eliminate unfair practices Heretofore growing, buying and sell ing have been largely guess work the committee said and based on personal equation rather than on fair, square, open and accepted Dusl- ness standards.
 It is expected that the government will accept this nomenclature as an official standard.

In many cases Jobless and penniless sailors have been ar rested as vagabonds and thrown into French jails and, according to their stories, the same danger threatens them In a number of other foreis m ports.
 There has lately been disposi- tion, the sailors say, among foreign steamship lines operating between Europe and American ports to bring American seamen to Europe and drop them, either through false rep resentat tion or misunderstanding on the part of the men when signing the articles. In some instances the men are careless and sign In casual way, hardly knowing or caring what they do.

TRACE INDIAN HOUSES BACK TO EARLY DAYS
Buildings Near Flagstaff, Ariz.,
 Erected In 1920

FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., July 21.-(By Associated Press ss.)-Scientists nave determined that the Hopl lndlan buildings of many of the villages or the tribe northeast of Flagstaff date back to about 1920, when the Hopis revolted against the Spanish priests and tore down missions built by the Spaniards,N using many tlmbers rom the missions in constructing their own houses.
 A party including Dr. A. E. Doug las of the University of Arizona and pr. J. A. Jeancon of the Colorado State museum, returned recently L>om the Hopi pueblo villages where they made study of the wooden beams in the ancient structures.
 Professor Douglas has specialized in the study of rings in Arizona trees with the result that he has been able to determine the age of timbers.
 The scientists principal difficulty lay in securing the permission of the Indians to make borings in the beams which are held sacred by the Hopis.
 When this permission was finally ings were made and the examination indicated that the beams had been cut about the year 1920 when tradi . tion says the Spanish built their mis- sions in northeastern Arizona. Some 60 years later came the Hopi revolt and the missions were torn down.
 Many of the beams in the Indian dwellings are decorated with rich carvings, which Dr. Douglas says are the work of the Spaniards.

BIBLE TALKS CAUSE CHURCH CONTROVERSY
Bishop Cannon Objects To Address
 Before Young Peoples Group

LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. C., July 9t .. After his final lecture before tn~ Southern assembly here on the Great and Permanent Value of the Old Tes- lament" Dr. S c. Bland of Toronto was thanked by the chairman of the Young Peoples group and presented with flowers.
 Bishop James Cannon, Jr, of the Met~odist Episcopal church, south, one r the commissioners of the Southern assembly, stated, however, that while he believed in & thorough study of the Bible, he doubted the wisdom of such a course of lectures in the assembly auditorium and said that had he known the character of the lectures in advance, he would have objected. He added that the assembly was not responsible for any, lecturer appearing under the auspices of any general board of the church.
 Dr. Bland, who has been delivering lectures on the Old Testament under the auspices of the general Sunday school board of the Southern Meth odist church, set forth as facts that the Old Testament scriptures are not all authoritative, but were freely re- Nlsed and set aside by Jesus and Paul and the unknown writer to the He- brews, but said they deserve reverens study, as they were the Bible of Jesus, and that it was difficult to see how He could be understood without them.
 Bishop James Atkins, chairman of the assembly and president of the sunday school board, suggested that Bishop Cannon be given an oppor- tunity to present the other side of tbs question on some open night soar

DEATH IF V|LL 1 \ RECALLS I H E [ X I. AGAINST AMERICA
Slain Bandit Raided Colum- bus, N. M., Because Of
 CarranZa Invasion

SAN ANTONIO, Tex July 21.-Ths death of Francisco Villa recalled tho fact that his raid upon Columbus, N. M.. in March, 1916, was made in res venge against the American people for allowing 5000 Yaqui Indians, Carranza soldiers, with their equip ment. to pass over the territory of the United States and back Into shs state of Sonora, Mexico, to engage in the defense of Asua Preta, opposite Douglas Ariz, when Villa was en route to attack the sonora town.
 Villa had left Ciudad, Juarez, with an army estimated at 10000 men, then marched into Sonora across tha Sierra Madre mountains, Pulpita pass, through which he came, offered almost insuperable difficulties to tha marching column, and much of his wagon train had to be abandoned. His troops reached Sonora territory foot sore and worn.
 The Carranza forces had with~ drawn into Agua Prieta, leaving be- hind a desolated territory, whers even the wells had been fouled, orl where there had been windmills, the pumping machinery disconnected and the casing plugged, so no water could be obtained,
 Late Sunday afternoon, October 30, IJ1o, SIpup OA tIiitc two men and a young woman, stood near the line fence of John Slaugh- ter's ranch, IS miles east of Douglas, watching the Villistas march across country toward Agua Priets. Baa News For Villa.
 Suddenly a group of horsemen rods up to the fence and one of them, whd was recognized by one of the Amer mans, a newspaper man, as Villa. asked in Spanish for news.
 He was told that the veteran Cars ranza troops. under Gen. Francisco R. Serrano, troops which a few weeks before had assisted in defeating him in battle of Celaya, had reached Agua Prieta and crossed into the fortified town.
 Villa stormed and cursed.
 Thereafter let the Americans iook out for themselves when they meet me-" he threatened.
 After storming Agua Prieta for three days and losing several hun- dred of his best men killed or wounds ed, Villa moved westward. Later he met signal defeat at point north of Hermosilla and retreated to Chi- huahua, deserted by all but a few majority of his men had hastened to while they might.
 Villa at this period again and again threatened to take summary revenge upon Americans whenever he could bring it about. few weeks after his return to Chihuahua the raid on Columbus was made.

Says Personal Feud
 Was Cause Of Death

MEXICO CITY, July 21.-(By As sociated Press)-President Obregon intimated his suspicion that Fran cisco Villas assassination was due to a personal feud in a statement given to the newspaper correspon- dents this afternoon.
 Ut is disgraceful that the dagger and treason are stll employed" the President declared. "Villa had nu- merous. enemies; it is possible that one of them revenged himself treacherously. I have not received any advice that would allow me to express an opinion of the cause of the assassination. It is certain, how ever, that Villa, having been given guarantees of security by the gov ernment. should have had an op- portunity to enjoy them.'
 telegram to the President from the superintendent of Villas hacien- da at Canutillo. begged the Presi- dent to order the troops which are proceeding to Canutillo to be with held, as the Villstas at that place are fully capable of guarding the property. About year ago Villa de- clared that he had 1900 men fully armed upon the hacienda or within call.
