THROB OF TOM TOMS
 USHERING IN EASTER
Yaqui Indians Begin Cere- monial-Penitentes Also
 Have Their Rites

Denver, April l Pt-The near ap- proach Of Easter will be ushered in- to the southwest tonight by the throb of Indian tom-toms along the southern border of Arizona and the wall of reed flutes Of the Penitentes in the remote hill regions of New Mexico.
 Following preparations which have been under way for weeks and preliminary rites yelled in mystery, the red men of the desert country and the descendants of the Spanish conquerors in the foothills will be- gin their annual enactment of ver- sions of the Passion Play and the crucifxion.
 More than 900 Yaqui Indians from Arizona and northern Mexico have gathered at TusCon for their cere- monial, which will continue without . cessation until o'clock next Sunday morning, Tourists by hundreds have Hooked to the old Indian pueblo 10 witness the Oberammergau of the southwest. which will be enacted in it's tiny plaza.
 Other tourists, following trusted guides, have taken to the little used logging roads and trails of the New Mexico mountains, where the vil- lageS of the PcnitCntes are scattered. Each village has it's own celebration, varying in intensity with its distance from and contact with civilization. | The Penitente rites consist mainly Of Negotiations and self-lorturc in which participants indulge as they make their pilgrimages from one morada to another Its climax comes in the crucifxion of an efripy on Friday night.
 Both peoples derived their prac- tlcos from the same source, that of an order of Monks, members Of which came from Spain with inc earliest Spanish explorers. The In dians have adopted the practices or ! the religious cult to their natiFc GUS ! toms and their ceremony is a blend ing of the Christian and Pagan, end ! ing in their own Indian dances of rejoicing.
 | The Yaquis and Pcnitentes arc iaalous of the secrecy of their tradi- tions and seek as far as possible to avoid the prying eyes of strangers They both prohibit and often resort 10 strenuous measures 10 prevent Having pictures at their ceremonies

BE7RO7HED MAIDEN IS LEFT IN LURCH Man Changes Mind After Taking
 Out Marriage License
 HE EL0PES WITH ANOTHER
Carmelo Urso and Carmelina Lien
 teri, His Former Sweetheart, Run Away Leaving Josephine Bonluto With Trousseau On Her Hands.

Romance flourishes everywhere and an evidence of 1t in one of the local factories comes to light with the discovery that Carmelo Urso of Medow street and Miss Carmelina Lientieri, 2i, of 57S West Main street eloped last Saturday, leaving behind Miss Josephine Boniuto of II Oak street, to whom Urso had plighted his troth and 10 whom ho was to have been married on April 22.
 The story is not an unusual one. Urso and Miss Lientieri were sweet hearts a few years ago. They cared d great deal for each other, but 1t is said they quarreled considerably. In fact, they quarreled to such an ex- tent that Miss Lientieri refused to see urso any more, it is reported.
 After that, he went to Detroit, where he secured a position. He heard many stories from New Brit ain, many of them leading him to believe that the girl of his dreams was engaged to be married to an other. Unable to hold out any longer he returned to New Britain, finding that the stories were not true, but also that Miss Lientieri would still have nothing to do with him.
 Soon after he returned he met Miss Boniuto, a comedy miss of 19 years. They became attached to each other, 50 the story goes, and be- came engaged. The affair progressed and about three weeks ago they visited the office of Town Clerk A L. Thompson and secured d mar. riage license. setting the date fo, their marriage at April 22. Barns oi marriage were published twice at St Mary's church and it appeared tha1 the couple were looking forward tc happy married life.
 But time apparently softened the heart of Miss Lientieri, who was employed at the same local factory as surso. They became friendly once more, decided to erase occurrences of the past and then left the city together. Miss Lientieri is a sister. in-law of Jack Salonia, Lafayette street tailor. who shed light on the affair today. The young people have not returned.
 Now the unhappy bride-to have. been is wondering what to do. It is reported that some of her wedding rousseau is already completed anC that she and her parents have made other preparations for the wedding which will not take place. Both sht and her parents were under the i'm. pression. it is said, that the civil par' of the marriage had been performed with the taking out of the license and that the religious part was al that remained,

C0NGRESSMEN IN
 NEAR FIST FIGHT
Mills and Rankin Separated by
 Action Of Colleagues
SCRAP OVER IMPEACHMENT
Kentucky Democrat Calls New York Republican Dirty Con- temptiblc Scoundrcl' -- Vote On English Probably Tomorrow.

Washington April Pl--A near fist fight on the house floor resulted today from an argument between Representative Mills, republican, Of New York, and Representative Ran kin, democrat, Mississippi over pro- cedure in the impeachment case against Federal Judge English of Illinois.
 Calls Harsh Name
 After Mir, Rankin had demanded that q quorum be present when de- bate was resumed, Mir. Mills walked to the democratic side of the house, apparently to urge the MiSsissippian 10 withdraw his motion, but Rankin met him half way on the double quick. Other members, convinced that a physical encounter was threatened, kept them apart.
 Get on your own side of the house" shouted Rankin, shaking his fist. You cant insult me. You are q dirty contelnptible scoundrel."
 The sergeant-at-a helped quiet the Missssippian. Mills, apparent y uneXcited. then moved away, and the debate proceeded without a quorum call.
 Much Filthy Language
 The incident gave a running start 10 the last day of a debate which already had taken its place as one of the most plainly-worded discus sions ever indulgcd in on the floor of congress. Passages of profanity and vile epithets contained in the record of the case have been re. peated so often in the presence of the galleries that house officials found 1t necessary 10 admonish members against the use of inde- cent language.
 By agreement the debate will end late today, but 1t is doubtful whether vote on the impeachment charges can be reached before to. morrow.
