TRACKS STUDIED
Arizona Witnesses to Tell of
Footprints in Sand of
Northern Mexico.
By the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, Calf, October 26.-
Arizona witnesses were TO offer more
testimony today at the conspiracy
hearing Of Aimee Semple Mcpherson
in support of her contention that she
escaped from kidnaperS in the north
ern Mexico desert and walked nearly
20 miles, to fall exhausted near n
house in the border town of Aqua
Prieta-
If the tracks which some WITNESSES
have testified they found II or 1S
miles south Of Aqua Prietasq near a
shack, are hers, then, her attorneys
assert, it tends to prove she walked
a long distance to escape from her
abductors. If no tracks that can be
identified as hers can be found more
than or miles from Aqua Prieta,
then, the prosecution asserts, it proves
she went to the Mexican town in some
conveyance and walked only short
distance.

OFFICIAL NOTES.

His ExceIlency. the Governor, is in
formed that the resolution providing for
a Congressional Committee to visit the
Virgin Islands was not adopted. Senator
Bingham, a member of the Senate Com
mittee on Territories and %Insular Pos
sessions, contempIates visiting the Vir-
gin Islands, sailing from New York for
San Juan on July Is, 1926. 1t is ex-
pected that the Senator will arrive at
St. Thomas on the afternoon of tuesday,
July 20th. 1t is assumed that Senator
Bingham desires to obtain information
about conditions in the Virgin Islands,
but the Governor has not been informed
of his plans in this respect. In order
that persons DESTROYS of consulting with
Senator Bingham may be afforded an
opportunity to do so, His Excellency, the
Governor, requests such persons in St.
Croix to turn in their names to the
Despatchin6 Secretary.

The Fourth of July celebration was
a grand success. Even Nature contri-
buted its share, for a more ideal day
could hardly be expected. The Sun
shone brightly. but the Southeastern
breeze tempered the heat and made the
day enjoyable.
The program, with the exception of
the Torchlieht Procession. was faithful
ly carried out, and this omission was
not due to any fault of the committee
in charge; but to the fact that the
torches did not come, together with the
fireworks as had been ordered.
The Horse races, the principal fea-
ture of the afternoon sports were at
tended by a very large number of people

nished much excitement, as the con
t~estants were so evenly matched that
chances were about equal, Lagarde's

day.
The grand display of fireworks from
the pier head brought out an also very
large number Of people to witness them,
and afforded full satisfaction.
After the Concert in the Emancipa-
ton Garden by the Naval Band, the
celebration wound up with a tramp"
which was enjoyed by the populace.
1t is satisfactory to note the perfect
order that prevailed throughout the
festivities, no unpleasant incident or dis
