MEXICAN CITY Is "RULED"r
BY DUAL ADMINISTRATION
Tepic's Business in Chaos as Rival
Mayors Struggle for
Control
Correspondence OF the Associated Press

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
TEPIC. Nayarit, Mexico. March 10,
This city, capital of Nayarit State,
is enjoying, or rather enduring, two
sets of ''presidentes, or mayors, with
their allied officials and assistants.
The recent election was contested
by the "ins" on the ground of irregu
larity, and they refused to turn over
the keys of the treasury to the other
faction. which claimed victory in the
balfoting The result has been ad-
ministrative chaos, and business men
are hoping that one side or the other
soon will be ousted so the city can
settle down and enjoy its usual calm.
Since the advent of the dual admin
istration. two sets of lean and hungry
tax collectors have been besieging g
the stores and business houses, pre-
senting their respective demands. At
first, through a practice evolved of
wisdom during the revolution, both
sides were placated by donations. But
the 'repic farce has continued so long
and money is so scarce that the lead
ing houses refuse to come through
ther faction. An appeal has been
out the tangle.
The new regime recently scored one
smashing victory. BY sheer force it
drove from the streets all policemen
of the old administration. Thus, the
fittest having survived, the new po-
licemen are patrolling the beats.

TURKEY PROPOSING
PEACE WITH BRITAIN
Negotiating for Adjustment
of Mesopotamia Boundary
Dispute, 1t Is Reported.
Ry the Associated Press.


LONDON, April 1.-The Daily Mail
has reason 10 believe that Turkey
has made a proposal for a settlement
of her difficulties with Great Britain.
mainly with reference to the Mosul
boundary separating Turkey from
Mesopotamia.
Turkeys suggestion, the Daily
Mail says. is that she shall have the
province Immediately to the south.
In return she does not desire terri
tory farther south, which is pre-
dominantly Arab, and she promises
TO guarantee indefinitely the frontier
line 10 the south of Mosul.
Inducements offered.
Turkey also offers inducements to
Great Britain to accept the proposal,
among them being the control of the
Mosul oil field vested in an all
British company.
The British foreign office declines
TO confirm or deny this report.
The Mosul boundary dispute had its
origin in the establishment of the
Kingdom of Irak. formerly Meso-
potamia, sponsored by Great Britain.
The whole controversy revolveS
around two main points. Turkey
wants Mosul for military reasons and
Great Britain insists on having con-
terests have large oil holdings there.

Poll s=Chauye.Souris.

The Old World came to Washing
ton and charmed large audience at
Polls Theater last night, when
Balieff's Chauve- Souris-Balieff' Bat
Theater of Moscow-opened for a
weeks run.
The entertainment consists ot a
series of entirely unrelated scenes
kind of revue or glorified vaudeville,
each scene a masterpiece. The atmos-
phere is as foreign to Washington
as Moscow and Paris. But humor,
passion, comedy and tragedy are not
limited by national boundary lines;
the eiementals of human life are
found in varying forms everywhere
under the sun. And If the language
falls strangely on the ear, and Gus
toms seem strange, the appeal and
the interest are not lacking.
There is a feeling of quaintness, a
lapse into older times, due, perhaps,
to the fact that in years gone by
America patterned many of it's dra-
matte amuSements On European
molds.
Nikita Balief, the key, the inter-
prefer, who links the foreign scenes
with the English speaking auditors,
is a host in himself-a witty and
somewhat sarcastic philosopher. The
scenery was executed in a Partisan
studio. and the costumes are vastly
different from the settings and the
draperies found on the modern Amer
lean stage.
1t is difficult to choose among the
long list of scenes on the program
which delighted the Washington the
atergoers last night. The almost bar
barrie brutality of "Stenka Rain" an
episode in the life of legendary
bandit whose depredations took place
in the regions bordering the Volga
River during the seventeenth CEN
tury, gives a tense opening to the
performance. This is quickly seffaced,
however, by THE Rendezvous OF
Love- an old polka, based on an EN-
broidered pattern of an old Russian
cushion, danced by Karabanova and
NJ. Gorodetsky-light and amusing
and quaint. The Zaporozhtsi' Cthe
Dnieper Cossacks), fashioned after a
famous painting by Ilya Repin,
whisks the audience again into the
rude past. The Cossacks stood be-
tween civilization and the Turks in
the eighteenth century.
The Arrival at Bethlehem" how
ever, is, perhaps, the most interest
ing of the entire group of sketches.
1t bears a favor of the Middle Ages
which is rarely found. Tragic, in
deed, is The King Orders the Drums

RAY SHOWS SPORTING
BLOOD AFTER DEFEAT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Assocs ted Press.
NEW YORK, January 2S.-Joie Ray,
Chicago's blond fiier, ran the greatest
race of his life in Madison Square
Garden last night.
He started in this event after his
heart had been torn by defeat at the
hands of Paavo Nurmi and after he
had driven the invader to new world
record, but had failed.
The big race had ended and cheers
filed the hall for the conqueror when
little Joie set out upon the path that
requires more grit than strenuous
competition-the run to shake the
hand of the victor.
Dark words had come from that
recent meeting of Nurmi and Ray
in the Americans home city, and if
there was i'll feeling, Rays run to
shake hands was all the more note
worthy. At first Nurmi failed to
note the little man at his side who
clasped his hand. and then de-
lighted smile appeared on that
hitherto emotionless face.
He looked at the beaten man and
returned the clasp. for Americas
greatest middle distance man had
shown to the guest from overseas
just how courageously an American
can take defeat

the team after Haughton's death last
fall, would be unable to return to
Columbia next year, because of the
pressure of his medical practice in
Honolulu.

Harold Osborn. Illinois A. c. leaper,
scaled that dizzys height of feet
6A inches in an exhibition jump at

he just tickled the cross-bar enough

high jumping record.
When it stopped quivering Osborn
gave one leap Of joy and shook
hands all around with every one
within gripping distance.
