ORDER DAVIS
ANDCASNER TO
BE DEPORTED

Captain Bob Davis and Al
Casner are to be deported to the
United States, according to state
ment made by Governor Rodriguez
on Saturday.
The punishment is to be given as
the result of gambling operations
said to have been sponsored by the
two men at the Pioneer Bar in Mex
icali recently in violation of the or
der prohibiting all forms of gam
bling in the northern district of
Lower California.
The two men have been associat-
ed with resorts and gambling places
in Mexicali for many years and are
known to almost all valley resi-
dents. Casner holds the slot ma
chine franchise there and Bob
Davis and Caasner were owners of
the. Pioneer Bar at the time it was
closed.
All rights held by Davis have
been revoked, it is said, including
his license to manufacture Honey
Dew whiskey, and all his liquor
stocks have been confiscated, TO be
sold later and the proceeds placed
in the treasury. A large part of
the stock is said to be diluted and
unfit for use. This is to be des-
troved as a measure of safety.
Others, believed to be connected
with the gambling, including Al
Martin, Frank Miller and Fred FL
lott will escape the extreme pen
atty, since it is said they were not
in a financial way.

RIOTING AMONG
GERMAN MINERS
BRINGS CRISIS

BERLIN, May 19.-Desperatior
has seized the striking miners OF
the Ruhr. Their woman folk are
showing the way to win.
The strikers refused flatly TO ac
cept an arbitration award which
lengthens their hours; the mine
owners, meeting at Essen, accepted
the arbitration. The government
as is the custom, had no choice but
TO declare the award binding.
Tremendous bitterness, suffering
and hunger among the strikers and
their families makes it seem doubt
full, however, that the governmeEt S
declaration will have any effect.
Wives of the miners took the 'ini-
tiative in sabotage. At Gelsen-
kirchen angry women stormed the
city hail, demanding issuance of
rations.
Rioting, led by miners wives,
broke out ut Rotthausen and police
with drawn batons had to inter
fere.
In the mines of Hattingen wo-
men rolled up their sleeves, seized
rakes and picks and hauled fires
from the pump furnaces so that the
mines are i'll great danger of be-
ing flooded. They brandished heat
ed rakes in the faces of men
scabs'' driving the latter from
the nine.
BERLIN, May 19.-Something
new in the way of combating anti

raj hundred special trains were run

There was a feeling of sadness Thursday among that diminishing group of Confederate veterans who have earn ed the right to rest and now spend their time in the corridors of the county court house, living over again and again the campaigns and hardships of the Civil war; for during the night, Alexander J. Smith, one of their num- Der, had passed away.
 The talk was not of battles and hardships of marching against the enemy, but was about the qualities of the man who, at the age of 83, had passed away with but slight warning that the end was near. Only a few days ago, he was at the court house with the others and was planning then to attend the encampment in Memphis next June. He suffered an attack, but

Several witnesses were heard Thurs day in the trial of Mrs. Edna Marc, with the killing of Ralph Roberts, in Pratt City, in March, 1922. The case is being tried before Judge William B. Fort.
 Mrs. Marc was convicted of murder in a former trial and sentenced to 20 years in the state penitentiary, but the case was reversed by the supreme court. Ali Marc, her husband, was tried some time ago in connection with the game case and is now serving 25-year sen- tence. Witnesses in the earlier trials have been summoned to testify.

Hereafter, prisoners captured in gambling raids will not have such a hard time getting out on bond to await trial.

 Tt seemed to me $50 was too much to require in these cases," the judge explained. Many of them were of a trivial nature, and it often happened that a prisoner had to spend long time in jail awaiting trial because he could not raise the $50 bonds. A $10 bond seems about right so I had it reduced"
