PARIS, January 22.-If the United
States were in the position of Germany
and a former enemy, in trying to COL
lect war indemnities had invaded the
Pennsylvania coal and Industrial dis
trict, as France has occupied the
Ruhr, undoubtedly the rougher ele-
ment of the Industrial workers would
resent the presence of foreign troops.
But they certainly would not have be-
haved like the German miners when
Gen. Degoutte's forces marched into
Essen on January IL.
Possibly in no place slse in the
world could such profound hatred be
shown, not only against the troops.
but against all foreigners, as in the
Ruhr. The Prussian population seems
to have an instructive ability to spot"
foreigner or 'auslander" as they
are called locally. but doubtless many
small indications of dress and man.
species different from them is wander
ing in their midst. Their natural
hatred blinds them TO everything. and
they consider all "auslanders" enemies
and suspect them of being of the
French variety.
If they do not do bodily violence
by attacking. hundred to one, some
lone, foreigner they stand and glare in
dumb protest. If looks could kill there
would be no "auslanders" in the Ruhr
today. 1t is doubtful if any other race
could maintain day after day such
malevoleHt looks of hatred. Mobs
stand glumly about with murder in
their hearts, while one or two of their
the others mutter '.schweinhund." and
other insults.
Importance OF Discretion.
If the "auslander" is wise he viii
go on his way remembering that dis
cretion is the better part of valor
But If the foreigner forgets sufficiently
to retaliate with well-chosen French
this IS taken as absolute proof by the
mob that he should be the object of
carry out against France.
One American correspondent sin
cere1y and materially resented a few
German words spluttered in his face
but after severe beating the police
managed to eXtricate him from under
laSge number of heavy Prussians
thereby saving his life. Force seems
to be the only language these miners
understand, and they ceased mutter-
ing when armored cars and gaIlop-
ing cavalry and rumbling cannon
passed. but the gloomy looks of ha-
tired remained.
French civilians in the Ruhr strive
to hide their nationality. fayoring
prudence in order to avoid annoy
ance. But 1t is question whether by
buying and wearing a small green
hat with it's little feather sticking
up from the back one could escape
the eagle eye of these hating Ruhr
Prussians.
This hatred takes the form of
sabotage. since the natives are un-
able to find other means of protest
ing against the undesired presence of
the "Auslanders."
The spirit of sabotage covers the
entire Ruhr population, from the coal
operators to the telegraph employees
These latter are called on daily to
transmit press messages telling of
conditions following the occupation.

Police took a negro found near the
burning lodge into custody shortly
after the discovery of the crime. He
was questioned, but police were un-
able to connect him with the murders.
Both McLeish and his wife were
natives of Newport and, so far as
police were able to determine last
night, had no enemies. McLeish was
about thirty years old and a wound
ed veteran Of the world war.

NEWPORT, r. T., January 22.-The
bodies of James A. Frazier McLeish
and his wife Madeline, the skulls
battered with hammer, were dis
covered by firemen yesterday when
a blaze swept their home, on the
summer estate of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Fitz Simons of this city and New
York. Police expressed the belief
that the murderer, after killing the
couple, set fire to the house.
Mcbeish was employed as a gar

lodge occupied by his wife and him
self was near the entrance to the
estate. The woman's body, badly

Rates Not EnnitahIe

In addition to showing the excess
earnings of the westerns roads, Mr.
Powell in his exhibits showed that
during the first seven months of
1922, the roads in zone /, the eastern
states, sustained a deficit of $15,-
679207 and the roads in the southern
district or zone sustained deficit
of $523,326. This clearly indicates,
Mr.. Belts said, that the express rates
in the western states are too high
while hose in zones / and are too
low, and that an ironing out of the
rates will advance them in the east
and south and lower them in the
western states.
1t was found, he said, that the
pick up and delivery service of the
express company is the largest ex-
pense, and that 1922 percent of all
of this service rendered by the COM
pany accrues in zone /. 1t also was
shown, he said, that many incon-
sistencies in rates, result from the
present basic rate structure in use.
Mr. Powell submitted a reccOmmen-
dation for a complete change in the
method of rate making, the rates to
be on a strict mileage basis on blocks
of so miles each instead of the pres
ent method based on latitude and
longitude degrees which give blocks
varying from less than 40 miles to
more than SO miles. He also recon-
mended change be made in haulage
and terminal charges.
Exhibits also were offered showing
a remarkable and phenomenal in
creased n the express revenues dur
ing the last six months OF 1922. II
also was shown that the month OF
March 1928 was the largest month in
the history of the express company
If this proportionate increase is
maintained during the rest of the
year of 1928, Mr.. Belts said, the earn

ings of the express company for the
entire year will be greatly in excess
of the 81 percent on the investment
allowed by the transportation act
D fer Two Pages of Exhibits
The express company and its in
teryenors, Mr.. Belts said, offered
only two pages of exhibits intended
to reflect the operating conditions on
nine western roads, claimed by the
carriers to be representative roads
in zone four. the intermountain coun-
try. Included in the list, he said,
were the following roads: the Bling
ham and Garfield in Utah, 20 miles
long, and operated by the Utah Cop
per company, the Nevada Northern,
operated by the Nevada Consolidated
Copper company; the Utah Railway,
operated by the United States Smelt-
ing and Refining company; the Spo-
kane International, operated by the
Canadian Pacific from Spokane to
the Canadian line; the Moffat road,
220 miles long from Denver through
the Rocky mountains; the Denver
and Rio Grande Western, bankrupt
three times; and the Colorado South
ern of which only 300 miles is in
zone four.
The express case was originated
last May by the interstate commerce
commission upon it's own initiative
and an investigation ordered making
the American Railway Express COM
pany and the Southeastern Express
company respondents. Immediately
following this order, the American
Railway Express company filed ap-
plicatiOn for an increase in the pres
ent rates and the rail companies

final hearing of the express case

SalvadOr's Three

Number to 5000
by United Press Leased Wire

AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND,
June l.-Salvador Ramirez, Oldest
pioneer of the Channel Islands, was
found dead recently in his little
camp at Smuggler's Cove, San Gle
mente Island, by Il party of fisher
men from the mainland.
Ramirez, who was "a when he
died, spent most of his hfe as a her.
nit on one or another of the small
cluster of islands off the Southern
California coast. 1t was one of his
ancestors who sold Catalina Island
to Santa Barbara attorney for q
horse and saddle.
Many years ago, when Catalina
was becoming too populous for the
recluse, he moved to San Clemente
Island. In his little sailing boat he
took three goats to start goat
farm.
There arc now more than 5000
goats on San Clemente, all direct
descendants of the three little ami.
mails that he took away from Cata-
lima Island.

WHEN YOU BUILD
GARAGE, BE SURE
IT'S BIG ENOUGH

The error of which the prospec-
tive builder is most often culpable
is that of building the garage too
small. Of course, the original pur
pose for which the garage is to be
built is for the housing of the ear.
1t is not primarily intended to be a
repair shop or a store room. But
there are times when little repair
work is necessary and it is then
that the builder realizes that a foot
Or two more floor space on each
side of the ear would be much to
be desiredi When planning the
amount Of floor space, leave ample
room on all sides of the ear. Too
much room will never prove an en-
barrassment and the additional cost
of q rOOmy garage over a cramped
one is negligible.
Have it Big Enough
Suppose, in figuring out the d.
mcnsions of our garage, we take
the lowly Ford as an example. If
we figure its length at about ~
feet and it's width at about six, a
two-foot clearance all around will
recessitate a garage about ten feet
wide and 16 feet long. A twOfOot
~clearance space, however, would re-
quire u person to enter sideway; a
practice which would be hard on
the temper rs well as on the
clothes. Though such q garage
would provide ample space for sim
ply housing the ear, it would be
necessary to do all repairs and
cleaning on the outside. If repair
work is to be done and Il workbench
installed on the side, at least an :,d
ditiOnal four feet must be allowed
for the bench and at least two feet
more door space so that the work
may be done in {, convenient man
ner. This will bring the width of
the garage to 16 feet. Ofcourse no
provision as yet has been made for
lockers for storing the soaps and
polishes, bolts and nuts or other
accessories; for which Il floor space
of about two feet should be allowed.
If the bench is to be placed at
one end, so as to be near the motor,
the extra six feet must be added to
the length; making n length of
90 feet, while the lockers may be
installed on the side.
IL by 20 #. Space
The minimum space which should
be allowed should be about 12 by go
feet for simply storing the car; and
about l6 by "a feet when any con
siderable amount of repair work is
to be done. And if provision is to
be made for perhaps another car in
the future, at least another ten
feet should be added to the width.

Bill Tackett In
Good Showing at
Wrestling Match

Bill Tackett, the husky boy from
Ell Centre, made a good showing
against Professor Higami lin the
wrestling match at Brawley last
night, and according to the dopes-
ters at the ringside, 'Big Bill'
made the Professor work harder
than a good many of the regular
wrest.-rs he has met. Bill doesn t
claim to be q champion, but he does
know the wrestling game, has plen-
ty of strength and is game to the
core.
The men wrestled half hour in
the American style, Bill holding
his own against the professor, and
neither one getting fall. The see
on half hour was devoted to the jiu
jitsu style, and despite badly
wrenched arm which he received in
the carrier bout, Tackett stuck with
Higami as long as human endur
could but was finally compelled to
give up after more than 20 minutes
wrestling. 1t is taking no credit
from Higami to say that Hackett
made him work all the time.
Young Hayes of Braw!ey won his
match with Young Gotch of Texas,
much to the delight of the home
folks who We're roofing strong for
HIM.
The balance of the bill included
exhibitions of jiu iitsu and Japa-
nese fencing, which the crowd great
ly enjoyed.

CARAVAN OF EATS
pRECEDES ELKS'
FLIGHT TO HILLS

Elks in Imperial Valley will be
scarce tomorrow as icebergs, all in
dications pointing TO complete mi
grafton of the herds at Brawley,
Calexico and FL Centre to Jacumba,
for the annual Elks' picnic. Early
this morning n big truck loaded
with the commisariat and the cook
ing force left FL Centre, being
joined on the way by similar out
fits from Brawley and Calexico, un-
til it seemed as il the advance
guard of a circus was vending its
way along the San Diego highway.
Many or tne E,lks and their families
will go to the hills tonight, but the
big rush is looked for early tomor-
row morning.
While the water sports, athletics
and barbecue loom up as events to
be looked forward to, every "Bill' -
is waiting 20 sec the boxing card
which Harry Woodbury. has fixed
up for the occasion. An Elk who is
not a boxing fan is mighty scarce,
and it is certain the scraps will be
the center of attraction for them
Tomorrow afternoon.
Williams Neal Bout
The main event is to bring to-
gether Kid Williams of El Centre
and Jack Neal of San Diego. The
two heavyweights have been train
ing for the affair for the past
week and are in good shape.
The semi-windup between Sailor
Aekerman Of San Diego and Rex
Morris of San Francisco should vie
with the main event for excitement.
Judging from the complete pro
gram as printed in yesterday s
Press, there is going to be some
thing doing every minute of the
day, and the 1923 picnic will take
its place as being on par with those
of past years which have proven so
enjoyable to the Elks and their
families.
Elks are again reminded to regis
ter with "Colonel Zinn Or George
IIopgood, if they have any spare
room in their ears, and those who
desire to obtain transportation
should also register.

UNCLE SAM HAS

SO Many Vacation Spots
That Choosing Is
Difficult

Longer and longer vacation trips
are getting more and more "styl-
ish'' for the motorists of this part
of the state, according to touring
bureau officials of the Auto Club
of Southern California.
1t used to be, not very long ago,
that a vacation trip of two hun
dred miles was quite journey. But
not any more! Nowadays the
hardy autoist of these parts thinks
nothing Of skipping off to Canada
or down into Mexico for his sum
mer outing.
In order to crafty the inclina-
tions of some of the long distance
travellers, the Club touring bureau
has secured lot of up-to-the-min-
ute information on the National
Parks with which the western part
Of America is particularly favored.
Many to Choose From
If you only want to go little
ways from your own fireside, the
country offers the SequOia and Gen
eral Grant Parks, and of course,
there IS Yosemite. The National
Park Of the Grand Canyon is go
ing to have 81 lot of auto visitors
this summer. Also in the Club 3 list
is included Crater Lake National
Park, Mt Rainier National Park,
Glacier National Park, Yellowstone
National Park, Zion National Park
Mesa Verde National Park, Lassen
Volcano National Park, and the
Rocky Mountain National Park
over by Denver.
Roads leading from Southern Cal
ifornia to the big national play
grounds this summer are in much
better condition than they were last
year and for that reason o larger
number of motorists will take adj
vantage of the season to increase
their knowledge Of America s won

CLOSED CARS ARE
IN GREAT DEMAND

"The Hudson and Essex Coaches
meet a universal demand,' says
William II. Lewis, local Hudson Els
sex dealer Motorists have turned
decisively to The closed ear. They
want the year-round comfort and
distinction which the closed car
gives.
."The coach is new type that
satisfies both demands. 1t offers
the protection and comfort of the
closed ear in all weather, and has
all the activity of the Hudson and
Essex touring models.
"The interior seating arrange
ment of the Essex Coach is unique
and gives excellent riding qualities.
Weight is evenly distributed over
the chassis between the axles-the

seats give ample passenger room
with comfort for all.
