ORDER MARINES
TO PHILIPPINES
in PREP PARATION
Anti Foreign Movement In
China Spreads; Situation
Is Grave.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 R) - In
creasing gravity of the spreading anti
foreign movement in China was re-
American Minister MacMurray had
been stopped by cablegram in Korea
on his way to washington and ordered
back to Peking, and by the announce
ment that the detachment of American
marines at Guam had been ordered to
the Philippines to be nearer the zone
of disorder.
Word also was received through Ad-
miral Williams, commander of the
Asiatic fleet, that the evacuation OF
Americans and other foreigners from
Chinese interior cities was proceeding
rapidly.
The immediate reason given at the
White House for Secretary Kellogg's s
action in ordering MacMurray back to
Peking was the necessity for taking
every possible provision to protect
Americans in China should the dis
orders flame into attacks by mobs
that threatened their lives
President Coolidge feels that the de-
velopments in China in the last few
weeks make it doubtful that the cen
tra1 government at Peking is able to
exercise any authority whatever to-
ward protection of foreigners. With
many Chinese political factions con-
tending for power, the Washington
government has difficulty in discerning
the place of the central government
in the present confused situation.
~. - ko1 ~
Washington government is carrying
out in good faith all provisions of it's
treaties with China.
The recall of Minister MacMurray
from his projected conferences with
Secretary Kellogg here indicates the
rapidity with which the anti-foreign
in China have spread
and grown more serious. The first
attack directed at American mission
aries and other American nationals
was at Foo Chow, and official adVices
today told of the evacuation from that
city to Manila on the destroyer Pills
bury of more than so American ref
ugees, mostly women and children.
An equal numbeD has left for Shang-
hal, Hongkong and other coast cities,
where foreign war craft are stationed,
and Americans in interior points
around Foochow are withdrawing to
that city for embarkation. A destroyer
has been.sent from Shanghai to Foo
chow to take the PLACE of the Pills
bury.
The Guam marines, Admiral Will
liams said, would go to the Philippines
on the transport Gold Star. The navy
department said no orders had been
issued, however for marines at San
Diego to replace the Guam detach-
ment although such a move has been
considered a possibility.

WAY is OPENED
Robinson Resolution Is
Adopted By A Vote Of
IL To 3 In Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 R.-The
Robinson resolution proposing arbl-
tration Of the oil and land contro-
versy with Mexico was approved
today by the senate foreign relations
committee by 13-to-3 vote.
This was the main deVelopmen ent
of the day at the capitol in the
-Nicaraguan situation al.
though at the White House it was
reiterated that President Coolidge
believes the American people do no,
understand the question at issue.
Small collateral Issues in his op1n,
ion, have confused the public mind
and obscured the greater one.
1t was made clear on behalf OF
President Coolidge that in lending a
favorable car to the suggestion of
arbitration, there never had been
any question in his mind as to the
necessity of affordfng full protection
to American property rights.
The Robinson resolution, before re-
ceiving committee approval was
amended to give emphasis to the
duty of the government to guarantee
such protection. Sponsored by Sen,
ator Robinson, the democratic lead
or, it was enacted faVorabIy on an
nouncement at Mexico City that the
Gales government approved the
principle of arbitration. Secretary
kellogg had announced that he
would welcome an expression from
the senate on the subject and also
that he had been endeavoring to
apply the principle to an adjustment
of the dispute with Mexico. So far
there have been no indications, how
ever, that move toward arbitration
had been initiated by either the
Washington or Mexican governments.
In tile senate during the day, Sem
ator Norris. republican, Nebraska
offered a resolution calling upon the
state department for information
Soaring upon American claims to
Mexican properties 1t WAS passed
over for day at the request of
Senator Curtis, the republican leader.
Under the Norris proposal, the
state department would be called on
for the names of all Americans
owning oil concessions in Mexico
who have accepted the terms of the
Mexican land laws and of those who
have refused. Copies of exchanges
of correspondence between the de-
partment and the claimants also are
sought.

JOIN IN FIGHT
ON RIVER BILL
Oppose Giving Swing-John
son Measure Preferential
Status.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 R.-The
states of Arizona and Utah joined
hands before the house rules com
mittee today in opposing move TO
give the Swing johnson Boulder can
yon dam bill preferential legislative
status.
Their opposition. set forth by Rep
resentative Hayden, democrat, Arr
zano, and Cotton, republican, Utan,
was based on the contention that
the measure fails to safeguard the
interests of their constituents in the
water and power obtained from the
huge dam that would be built under
the bill at Boulder canyon on the
Colorado river.
After they had rested their case
the committee tentatively agreed to
close the hearings after Represents
Tvs Swing, republican, California CO.
author of the bill, and Morrow, dem
ocrat, New Mexico, have concluded
for the group seeking preferential
position for the proposal.
Hayden declared that California in
urging passage of the bill had as
sumed marrow selfish attitude"
and that Arizona was prepared il
necessary to carry its fight to the
supreme court. He contended that
if the dam We're built at this time
his state forever would lose rights
to water sufficient to 1rr1gate
100000 acres.
Hayden further argued that Ar1-
zona would not develop fast enough
to Utilize this water for SO years;
that in the meantime it would flow
into Mexico and that country would
develop by means of cheap orientai
labor its arid lands and thus obtain
perpetuity right to the water.
Swing raised point in preventing
a move to postpone further hearings
until Monday. If the bill is passed
by the house, it still must go to the
senate, he said, and you know what
that body is-likes to talk"
Acting Chairman Burton indicates
the committee would accept sug-
gestion by Representative Tayior
democrat, Colorado, that secretarys.
Hoover and Work be called for ques-
tioning.

BUSINESS Loss
IN aqua PRIETA
FROM new RULE

The announcement last week that a
vaccination certificate would be re-
quired of every resident of Douglas
crossing the line into Mexico has Sc
riously affected business in Aqua
rrieta, according to the business men
of that city. This has occurred in
spite of the fact that not a single per-
son has yet been turned back because
of not having vaccination certifi-
cate, that the Mexican health officers
have vaccinated no one at the gate,
and that the acity officials of Aqua
Prieta are making every effort to have
the order rescinded.
The trouble seems to lie in the fact
| that people fear they Will have to be
vaccinated if they cross the line.
Rather than submit to this, they re-
main in Douglas with the result that
Aqua Prieta merchants are suffering
heavy loss in revenue. According to
the wording of the order, which reads
residents of Douglas" tourists are
not affected by the ruling, but the
tourists will not cross the line unless
the residents of Douglas do SO.
! F. L. Mendoza, manager of the Aqua
Prieta chamber of commerce, made
the following statement Thursday:
Undoubtedly there has been some
mistake in this order; mistake on
the part of those sending out the in
structions and not those receiving it,.
We are doing all we can to have it re-
voked and believe we will be success
full within a few days" Most of the
officials in Aqua Prieta believe that
the ruling was intended only for those
immigrating to Mexico and that it's
application to border residents is a
mistake.

"Ah, Janer but the prizes is good" his mother

Janek's mother loved him. The priest did not like

in high school, But gossip brought to the priests

No Holy Picture for Janek

TIE Polish settlement consists Of eighteen blocks

Tliere were skeptics in the Polish settlement.

In the hustle Of women and children buying soap
and securing powders in panek's grocery Domsl1i,
a stee-wor1er voiced his opinion;
Because tomorrow the priest will visit all the
homes, you clean and scrub from cellar to roof.
Then you pay him for the visitl"
Keep your mouth shuti" PoniatOwska answered
heatedly you'll go to hell for your blasphemy."
Z" and he'll criticize the devil there!"
An old peasant type made the sign Of the cross.
The children looked on quizzically.
"Psia krew," Domski emphasized call that these
old women know is to gossip and pray"
g. and praise good looking priest, oh
Panek?"
But panek was in business And his business came
mainly from people who praised the priest. Be-

"These women win be disappointed. The priest
isn't apt to charge hOusekeepers. He's got a good
looking one now Domski tainted.
The older women scowled but did not answer.
Many facts on the matter gossip.
At the nuns home business was feverish. Women
and children came all day to buy chalk that had
been blessed, holy water, tiny whisk broom to
sprinkle it with-whatever lacking for the visit
Of the priest. The money went to the upkeep of
the nuns who lived an a well furnished home be-

There were those who voiced an opinion the nuns
lived too we'll. Others protested the continuous
stream of visiting who did not teach but visited
for weeks and months at time at the expense Of
the parish. Visits cut down maintenance expendi-
