Mexican Justice.

Tia Juana Justice grinds exceeding
slow, II at all. From developments in
the shame suicide" of the Thomas
Peteet family it appears evident that
the great ''whitewash" is being vigor.
ously applied in this appalling crime.
Three men OF the seven held in the
attack on Clyde and Audrey Peteet
have been released; the four vicious
criminals In custody have been in
dicted merely on the assault charge;
the murder indictment is dropped, and
the Governor Of Lower California is
unable to understand what all the
fuss is about"
A more unsavory example OF Mexi-
can degeneracy has never been
brought to the attention Of the au-
thoritiss. and yet II given the maxi.
mum penalty under the indictment,
these criminals will not get more than
fifteen years in Jail. Coupled with
this Is the story being freely whispered
around that the deposed chief Of po-
lice, who IL said to be the ringieader.
will never serve a term in the peni-
tentiary because OF his political in.
f1uence.
The Governor Of Lower California
processes to be frankly surprised that
crime Of this sort should draw
world attention, while other officials
are loudly proclaiming their horror
and desire for a cleanup for con-
sumption by the public press. The
governors statement that the "con-
duct Of the Peteet family while in Tia
Juana was not above reproach" was
effectively and conclusively answered
when Thomas Peteet assembled his
disgraced family in a room In San
Diego and turned on the gas. The
governor may attempt to minimize
the crime, but he cannot minimize the
results OF it. Four people are dead,
Americans who could not endure the
shame Of their experience in the
Mexican city, and yet their conduct
was not above reproach."
The United States Government has
acted promptly. An order went out
yesterday from Assistant Secretary
Andrews OF the Treasury for the clos
ing Of the international boundary at
Tia Juana at six pm. daily. That is
move in the right direction, but as
long as the iniquitous cesspool that is
Tia Juana today is tolerated and per-
haps encouraged by Mexican officials
nothing effective can be done by the
United States to bring sure protection
to visitors from the American side Of
the international boundary. And so
it. seems that those guilty Of this
hideous crime will either escape alto
gether or be given very light SEN
tences; that the dives and "dens" Of
Tia Juana will continue to flourish be.
cause there appears to be no sincere
effort on the part Of Mexico to wipe
out this blot.

BACKGROUND OF EVENTS
BY PAUL Y. COLLINS.

strides in advance have the re
searchers made even since the World
War period. So much that was be
lieved and taught by standard scien
lists prior to the last decade has beer
found untrue that today archaeology is
a new science. Our professors Of the
great universities agreed. ten or f1f
! teen years ago, that man must have
\ lived upon the Western Hemisphere
at least 100000 years. Some argued
| that the Garden of Eden was some
where in Yucatan. or possibly at the
| North Pole, and that, from this nu
! cleus, mankind had increased and
spread over Atlantis. Asia. Africa and
Europe. This was supposed to be the
original "Old World; Europe it's off
spring.
We were told that prior to the In
dams, who had come here in recent
years, there had been the Mound
Builders and Cliff Dwellers. whose
civilization was marvellous. but that
they had disappeared, and been sue
ceeded by the savage Indians. Also
| the Aztecs had annihilated the Toltecs
as the Toltecs must have conquered
some previous race of great culture
which had built the palaces of Militia
Palenque Chichen. There was erudite
speculation as to whether the Toltecs
or their predecessors were not the
lost Ten Tribes of Israel. In Arizona
| there was said to have been a high
civilization which had been conquered
without trace" by the Indian saw
ages.
Within the last 10 years, it is con
cluded that the Mound Builders, the
Cliff Dwellers, the Aztecs, Toltecs and
| Incas, all were just Indians-of nu
merous tribes and nations, but In,
dtans. descended from the Mongolians
| who had come from northeastern ST

ter on THE Origin and Antiquity OF

the Smithsonian report for 1923. He
further shows that man could not
have originated in this hemisphere
and spread over the rest of the world.
He speaks as a scientist, saying:
THE anthropologist of today knows
definitely that man evolved from the
nearer primates; there is abundant
material evidence to that effect, re.
gardless of other considerations
approached man in all important re.
spects. a condition that could be
realized only by the most advanced
anthropoid apes; but the existence
of such forms in America Is very
doubtful. There were on this CONT.
nent Eocene and Oligocene lemurs
and other primitive forms, and ultl
mately the ordinary American mon
keys, but nothing, so far as known,
Of any advanced ancestry to man.
These facts alone sufnce to
render an American origin Of the In
