Rigid Enforcement of 14th and
18th as Well as 18th Amend

Rigid enforcement OF the eight

pal Church. meeting in Anacostta- The

connection with other public queS-
tions.
Among resolutions adopted were the
following:
I'VE affirm our belief in the eight
zenith amendment and our desire TO
see il enforced. At the same time we
marvel at the hypocrisy and incon-
sistency Of people who would turn
heaven and earth to secure the en-
forcement of the eighteenth amend
ment while for fifty years they have
sat Supinely by and permitted the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to be trampled under foot by the very
people who are now loudest in their
protest that the eighteenth amend
men. shall he enforced We stand for
enforcement Of all the amendments
We reaffrm our belief in the Dyer
anti-lynching bill and express our
disappointment and disgust at the
present administration for its cow
trdly surrender of principle when
this bill was up for consideration be-
fore the Senate. We suggest to the
administration that recent election
results in Chicago and Detroit in
which negro wards went overwheln-
ingly democratic. are but a foreta ste
of what may be looked for two years
hence. unless there is ii change of
front on the part of the republican
party before that time.
We submit TO Mr.. Gary of the
United States Steel Corporation and
others who are urging revision of
the immigration laws to meet the
present labor shortage that if the
millions of negroes I'm this country
who have either been ignored alto
gether or given only IA scab's chance
in industry We're given an opportu-
nifty to prove themselves a labor asset
there would be no need of recruiting
IL bor's ranks through immigration.
Therefore, while we are in full sym
pathy with European workers in the
conditions surrounding them. We be-
lieve that their interests as we'll as
our own necessitate d continuance of
the present immigration laws"

No official here will comment ON
the situation In it's present status.
but there was every outward evil
dence last night that new element
of hope had been injected into the
long perplexed relationship between
Washington and Mexico City. IT was
indicated at the same time, however.
that steps remained to be taken
which might once more complicate
the problem just as 1T appears 'on
the verge Of solution.
So far as il has been revealed at
the State Department, the policy of
the United states toward readjust-
ment remains as it was outlined in
1921. when Secretary Hughes pro-
posed treaty OF commerce and amity
under which Mexico would make def
mite guarantees for the protection
OF American interests within her bor-
ders and the United States would
accord at the same time full diplo-
matte recognition to the government
Of President Obregon.
II is taken for granted that sigma
ture Of that treaty would be the only
method OF effecting a complete ac-
cord, but whether news of the sign
ing is expected to be contalned In
the forthcoming announcement no

Limitation of the states income

These terms may be equita
BILE as far as the upper basin is
concerned" the governor wrote,
but If the bargain stands as it
is written and Boulder Canyon
dam is built, the bargain will be
almost wholly at the expense of
Arizona. 1t would be foolhardy
for the state to see development
start at the lowest point in the
canyon"
Governor Hunt asserted fur
ther that construction of the
dam would limit the agricultural
development in Arizona from
the Colorado river to 28O, 900
acres. and this he said, would
be in perpetuity, so that from
the very outset of the develop.

added, whereas with the best

cure the equity to which we are
entitled.
In his letter to Governor Hunt,
Mr.. Bannister wrote that the
governors influence behind the
pact would be a powerful factor
in the development of the entire
southwest, and save a genera.

Al. G. BARNES CIRCUS COMING.
"The Show That's Different" VIII Be
Here Thursday, Nov. 9th.

kSUGTS lIOm W - years
of age are count ting the days un
til Thursday, November 8, when
the AL G. Barnes 4-ring wild
animal circus is coming to No
gales with three train loads OF
elephants, lions, horses, clowns
and everything that goes to
make up a real tented amuse.
ment enterprise.
The Barnes circus is the only
real animal show in the world,
according to Frank A. Cassidy.
publicity. representative, who
was here yesterday. It is a
California institution and bills
itself as the show that's differ
ent." Inasmuch as everyone of
the 10 acts that make up the
program has an animal back
ground, it may truly be said to
live up to its claims.
Tusko," billed as the largest
creature that walks the earth,"
is the biggest feature of the
Barnes circus in every respect.
"Tusko' stands foot taller
than did Jumbo" and weighs
ten tons. AL. G.. Barnes is con
vinced that the massive pachy
derm is the last survivor of the
mastodOnic age, and in this view
is upheld by several scientists
who have examined Tusko."
They found that his teeth were
formed in different manner
than those of ordinary elephants
and we're, decidedly larger. His
immense trunks are the largest
ever known. Owing to his gi
gantic size "Tusko" cannot pa
rade, and can be seen only at
the circus grounds.
Alice in Jnngleland" is the
colorful title given to the specta
Gle that will open both perform
ances of the Barnes circus here.
Four prima donnas, a singing
and dancing chorus of California
beautiess hundreds OF people and
almost countless animals make
this the most elaborate extrava
ganza ever offered under a circus
tent, the Barnes press agent de
clares.
Scores of fierce jungle. bred
lions, tigers and leopards are
exhibited in steel arenas by fear
less trainers. most of whom are
women, while novelty acts are
offered by trained reindeer, rab
bits, eagles. ostriches, kanga
roos, llamas and opakis. Nearly
every known variety of beasts
is found in the Barnes million
dollar menagerie.
Sixty dancing horses and 60
dancing girls" form one of the
most attractive of the big show
acts, and the Barnes collection
of high school horses are said
to be in a class by itself. 10
all, $50 horses are to be found in
the Barnes stables.
Johaan Aassen, the Norwegian
giant who stands eight feet, nine
inches tall, is one of the premier
attractions, while a contrast is
offered by Is Lilliputians, rang
ing in size from 20 to 30 inches,
imported from Europe especially
for the extravaganza, Alice in
Jungleland."
A Emile long street parade is
scheduled for the forenoon of
circus day, and the press agent
promises that all the cages will
be open so that spectators may
obtain an unobstructed view of
1900 animals carried by the
Barnes circus. Six bands, three
calliopes and IS clowns will en-.
liven the line of march.
