 Defeated Political Rival

By The Associated Press.
 Hanover. Germany, April 10.-The first campaign utterance of Field Marshal von Hindenburg as the presidential candidate of the con- servative-nationalists bourgeois bloc, is contained in brief letter to pr. Karl Jarres, who was shelved as the bloc's candidate in favor of the field marshal.
 You can imagine that the dect- sion to become your successor was not easy for me-" Von Hindenburg writes. My feeling of duty alone. and not personal inclination, per- suaded me to accept the nomina- ton when 1t was offered.
 God grant that if my election should really come about, may at the end of my life be still of some use to the beloved fatherland."

GOES FISHING 10
 AVOID ALL GOSSIP
Miss Joyce Wtthered Shows She
 Has More Interests Than Golf

London, April 10. Miss Joyce Wethered, whom the British con- slider the best woman golfer the world has ever known. likes to go fishing so much that she is cutting down on her golf. Not long ago she decided not to enter any tourna- ments at all this year, except the British open championship for women. But she reserved the privi- lege of changing her mind, and now says she may take on a tournament or two before the British women golfers go to Troon in May to with stand another of those invasions from the fairways of America.
 When 1t was first learned that Miss Wethered intended to keep away from the constant round of feminine tournaments this season, gossips spread the word about that she was tired of the Carryings-on Of enthusiasts every time she met, or seemed to meet, Miss Cecil Leitch, whom she dethroned as queen of Britain's golfng pastures. From the eager eyes and chattering voices of the feminine gallery at each of their encounters in the past, an alien observer could easily as- eume that the populace looked upon the battle as one rocking with per sonal feelings, as much a fight as game,
 This gossip reached the ears of the champioE, whcreupon she let it be known that she and Miss Ieitch were good friends, and declared she had other interests than golf, among them tennis, 10 occupy her timc Most of all, she said, she wanted more time for fishing,

YAQUI INDIANS
 IN THEIR FEAST
Weird Dances and Costumes
 !, Feature Event

, Tucson. Ariz.. April iO.---Lines of looking Yaqui tribesmen. gathered at the ancient village Of Pasqua, began their sacred Easter tribal dances at dawn today in a desert stiffness broken only by their mystic chanting and the rhythmic beat of rattles and tom-toms.
 Until Easter the dance goes on exhaustion being the only cause. for a redslsin to drop from the dancing columns twirling 10 the strains Of semi-barbaric music.
 Odd-shaped headdresses are worn by the dancers and rattles adorn their ankles, Feathered batons Haunt from the hands of the whir- ling group. Squaws and young braves joined the dance with the tribesmen-many of them from Mexico and others from various parts of Arizona.
 The dance, observed annually by the Yaquis. is a picturesque mingling of Pagan and Christian rites, DOT traying the passion of Christ in an Indian version. Christ's betrayal the trial before Pilate and the road to Calvary all arc pictured in the dance according to the Yaqui yer sion. With these ceremonies is mingled the customs of their Pagan fathers, which have been carried out for more than 300 years.
 Many visitors will watch the dance for the whites are not barred. The odd belief of the Indians against picture taking, however, still persists and cameramen, as usual, will not be permitted to picture the dances.
 At Gusdaloupe, Ariz., near Phoe- nix, other Yaquis today also began the Easter ceremonial which is call ed the Dia Di Gloria.

Wall street has been having hard time trying to determine the real reason for the recent cut fin gasoline prices by the Standard oil Co. of New Jersey. Many observers were inclined to attribute 1t to the large stocks of so-called distress gasoline which have been thrown on the market by small refners who were loaded up with surplus stocks in anticipation of higher prices as result of heavily increased consump- ton at this time of the year. Others were inclined to look upon 1t as the beginning of a battle for supremacy
 in the domestic field between the Standard oil Co, of New Jersey and the Standard oil Co of Indiana, which recently has strengthened its position through the acquisition of the Mexican holdings of the Pan American Petroleum and Transport Co. Still others looked upon 1t as a means of freezing out" the small reflners.
