ENGLISH AGAIN ASKS HONDURAS
 TO PAY CLAIM
Settlement Is Being Attempt ed-Honduras Ready to
 Pay But How Much?

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, March 12.-The old story of the large sum of money England says Honduras ewes hor, and England's vain efforts to collect il, is revived by present. day efforts of the British legation in this city to do something for the London bond holders Honduras Is not opposed to settlement, but the two countries are still far Apart as to what sum actually should be paid. The question probably will be submitted again to the Honduran congress.
 Back in the late sixties Honduras got loan in England to build an in ter-oceanic railroad. She issued bonds 10 the amount Of 5.39S.570 pounds sterling. But she alleges she never received this sum. What she. did actually get never has been made public officially, but 1t Is widely be- lieved to have been about 100000 pounds. or roughly S1.000.00O What mystery.
 The railroad was built only as far as Potrerillos. 95 kilometers. Hon duras gave IL and other assets as se- curity, but she has never paid one cent of interest.
 Sir Lionel Garden in 1909. rep resenting England, reached basis of settlement with Honduras which in- volyed the payment of 100000 pounds to wipe cut the debt. At this point the American government took part in the negotiations, and Hon duras therenpon told England the Garden agreement was off Washing ton proposed the Paredes-knox set tlement, but this was rejected by Honduras, since when the whole question has been relatively dor mant.
 The British bondholdars now claim Honduras owes them, with cnmula- tive interest. fully 2S,O00,oO0 pounds; but the British legation makes no such demand as this. It speaks of reasonable sum. Honduras has asked for definite proposals, and has offered to settle for 1.000.0 pounds, but the legation does not consider this enough. In banking circles here 1t is thought <that 2,000,000 or 5000 900 pounds iS the limit that England can in all reason claim from Hon duras.

 dressing of a beautiful woman. This picture is Her Husbands Trade mark a Paramount production, and it's theme is founded on the strange creed of man, who believed that a s1low of wealth would attract wealth, and believing thus, gowned his wife in most extravagant fashion. But he built his creed on a false assump- tion and his plans came tumbling down with such completeness that they resulted in his dealth. It all makes a strangely unusual story. forceful. dramatic. tense. As an ex- ample of the lavish dressing of one woman, the central character, it has seldom, if eyer-been equalled and Gloria Swanson is surely perfect wearer of gowns ip addition to her undoubted ability as an actress.

 Lines at Present.

STOCKHOLM, March 12.-Habitual hcboeIs in Sweden will hereafter go to work CT be sentenced to enforced labor fer two or three years, if the recommendation submitted by the government committee on legislation for the care of the poor are adopted. This committee, which has been at wcrlS several months, has made a thorough going social and statistical study eff tramps, organized vagrants, gypaies and other antilsoe1al types in the country. and now suggests penal laws designed to make good citizens or persons in the classes named.
 According to the proposed laws a person liable to arrest as vagrant must first be warned by the local authorities. At the same time the officers must take such constructive steps as trying to find work and lodging for the vagrant. This may be done through local employment bureaus, poor houses and municipal institutions of similar type. If the person ,reverts to vagraney and again makes hsmsehf liable to arrest, he may be sentenced to enforced labor for two, and in extreme cases for three years. For good behavior the culpr1t may be released under proba- ton, and will be helped to establish himself in a ga.nful occupation.
 The committee further recommends that women of lew repute be treated as vagrants, through 1t is held that deem them to orderly life through the work of social institutions espe eialiy organized for this purpose.

JELLY FISH SOVIET; ANT IS VERY RADICAL;
 BEE IS CONSERVATIVE

TACOMA, March 12.--Animals have tried out every form of government, and the jelly fish ia the only one that has ever made success of the communist system, Prof. Trevor Kin caid of the University of Washington said in a recent address here
 "The jelly fish is the perfect So- viot," he said, "wherc 0very mem- Der works for the common good The amoeba, the simplest form of ani- nal life, is the perfect individualist. " Professor Kincaid said ants most closely paTallel human society. "The ants have even their own bootleg gers," he declared, "and they are the most generous individuals in the world. However, an ant colony knows nothing of universal suffrage. The old maids run the government while the male ant stays at home and takes things easy

Says Enforcement of
 Prohibition in infancy

RENO, New, March 12.-Not so many years ago Reno was known throughout the country as wild, wide-open town where liquor flowed freely. but now with the Volstead act in effect it is declared by P. j. Donnclly. Federal prohibition di- rector, to be the most arid city in the West.
 Reno Is the driest spot in the entire state, If not the West" Don- nelly declared. 'I am confident that very little liquor is being sold in this city. We arc keeping sharp lockout for violations and my men report there is little doing in the booze line. Some places have been closed and padiocks placed on the doors, the owners fearing to take any more chances -
 However, we will not relax in our efforts D make Reno and the ontire state of Nevada as dry as the Sahara desert, and the campaign is right now only in it's infancy from the point of activity on the part of the enforcement officers"

STRESS LAW ENFORCEMENT
Citizens Ticket Candidates Speak e:
Two Meetings.

Speaking at two political rallies
Monday night, one at the Crockett
School on Prospect Hill and the other
on Santa Clara street, candidates on
the Citizens Ticket devoted most of
their time to a discussion of law en-
forcement. Approximately 700 peo-
pie attended the two meetings.
TIL speeches of the various candi-
dates were practical repetitions of
those they have been making during
the campaign. Failing almost entire
ly TO disclose their plans for San An
tonio's future, providing they are
elected, the candidates seemed salts
fled to dwell solely on law enforce
ment.
"If they are elected and each one OF
them gives as much to law enforce
ment in proportion to the amount of
time they talk about it." one men,
Der of their audience remarked, "the
fire and notice commissioner won't
have anything to do. while our streets,

Henry Lee Taylor, in an effort to

that he had put out slot machines in

these were not called slot machines

put out by PEARS after committee

that inasmuclr as the city attorney
