 Tom Parker. who drove the New York mayor. was on the coachbox today, and oddly enough Al Smith, too. was at his post as footman.
 The lord mayors show in Eng land is what circus day is in Amer ica. One is a Peter Pan for the day at least. One of the amusing fea- lures this year was a float showing Dick Wilmington. London's fifteenth century mayor. and his famous cat.
 Modern industry, in the first sec tion of the parade. rode on the shoulders of the S00-year-o old pagantry as gracefully as any of the proud postilions their horses.
 Pageantry depicted the city's in- terest in shipping, Sir Charles him. self being a ships stores and export merchant in his business life. Old Father Neptune and other legends Of the sea had been woven anew into this feast for the eyes of hun dreds of thousands of boys and girls who had assembled to see a dis play which, for gorgeousness and romance, has no equal anywhere else on earth.
 And there was the escort of sol diers, the tall horse guards, In scar let and black and buttons of gold. the coloriul dragons and at inter- vals military brass bands playing the sprishtliest of popular marches and adding a keener Zest to the medieval splendor following in their wake.
 All traffic was stopped nearly two hours throughout the several miles line of march.
 Passing St. PauPs into Fleet street, the procession crossed the boundaries of the mile square old city of London proper, through the Strand, then wound its way along the Thames and ended at Mansion House, the lord mayors official res idcrce.
 Alighting at his new home, the lcTd mayor waved dismissal, and the coach and six numbered away to their old world quarters. There. the 200 year old carriage is to stand, as stall mate of the lord mayors 1928 limousine model, until next fall, when IL again will be dusted off to revive London's memories of the centuries of the past.

7 GOMEZ LEADERS

800 Yaqui Indians Held Captive
 -0therS EXterninated

Mexico City, Nov. s LP-Having executed seven leaders including General Arnulfo Gomez. of the revo- lution in the state of Vera Cruz, the government today held captive 500 Yaqui Indians, who recently sur rendered in the state of Sonora.
 These small bands of Yaqui In- dians remaining in the field will soon be exterminated, the government announced, since the backbone of that revolt has been broken. Scout ing parties in Vera Cruz under Gen eral Escobar were pursuing closely the two remaining rebel leaders there. Generals Almeda and Medina.
 Since Saturday seven Gomez lead CTS have faced firing squads. The first to dies was Gomez himself. Fernan- do Reyes and Silviano Garcia were the last Their capture and execu- tion was announced by the govern ment last night. Reyes had a long

LONDON SEES GORGEOUS PAGEANTRY
 MARKING INAUGURATION OF MAYOR

London, Nov. g LP,-Cinderella's s gold coach came to London today as real as anything, and in the fairy 1 princes seat was the new lord mayor-Sir Charles Batho-all smiles and bows. IL was his inau- guration as London's chief execu- tive.
 Six spirited bays trundled the stately carriage through the crow d. ed streets and the happy cheers of the multitudes Of children.
 There were the white wigs of footmen. the cooked hats of pos uIlions. and the gayly colored state iiveries of various servants, just like those worn by those who whisked the little kitchen drudge to the ball of long ago.
 A little after noon mounted trumpeters in scarlet and gold pro- claimed the appearance of the spec tacle.
 It was the lord mayors show, as they call 1t, when old London each year for a glorious hour so turns out in search of its youth. Bringing up the rear of the procession was the great golden coach of state-the focus of all interest.
 The newslord mayor wore his scarlet robes with broad edgings of black and gold, and the ancient jewelled chain of office which he is to have for year. In attendance were his chaplain, and his bearers Of the mace and sword in gorgeous velvet costumes.
 In the carriage preceding was Sir Rowland Blades, the late lord mayor still in his splendid regalia, a little sad perhaps as he passed along times pathway where TOO previous lord mayors have passed and ended terms before him.
 The ancient Guildhall, the scene of dinners to Grant, to Roosevelt, to Taft, Wilson and Pershing in their turn. formed the setting of the start.
 It is within the maze of under ground corridors of this historic building, which survived the great fire of 1666, that the ghost of fltzalWyn, London's very first lord mayor, who served 24 years, prowls about at night rattling the armour and other relics Of his time when ever he feels that the municipal af- fairs of today are not conducted ex- actly to his liking.
 Prominent in the procession were the gilded coaches and four of the two incoming sheriffs, Green and Davenport. It was in the first of these that Mayor James J. Walker, of New York. and Mrs. Walker had 20 minute ride in state last Aug ust on their return from Ireland as guests Of Sheriff Percy Vincent,

'C0WG|RL' WILL
 FIGHT FOR HONOR
Murder Trial to Open in "Rodeo"
 Country

Lakeview, Ore, Nov. 8 (UP)- Lorena Trickey, "cow girl" accused Of the murder or J. P. C'Smiling Sllm') Harris. rodeo rider known the country over. sat on wooden bench in the courtyard of this last stand Of the old west" and discussed the accusation against her.
 A deputy sheriff had taken the trim little western girl from her cell in the courthouse basement, where she had been confined since Septem- Der 3.
 Her cheeks were pale, but her eyes snapped. She was thinking of the trying days of this week, of weary, monotonous days in a stuffy courtroom where the battle for her life. her liberty and her honor has started.
 Her tired eyes looked out toward the south and west where the wild grass vas just sprouting through the turf. There lay buried her lover. Slim Harris.
 "At times I want to scream out and talk and talk and talk" she ex- claimed. ITO me 1t is all a dream. I am so weary of it. I cannot sleep"
 But Lorena, confessed slayer of her common-law husband, subscribes to the code of the range-to take your medicine. She indicated a will ingness to sacrifice everything rather q n hYica oS 'who meant more to me than life itself"
 In the musty courtroom this week sordid story is to be bared story of the love of a man and a woman who def1ed the conventions; of the parting which had to come-and then of the staying.
 Lorena and Slim were In an auto- mobile on lonely road. When passers-by rushed to the halted car, Sims life blood was ebbing away. His head was on Lorena's shoulder. She was fondling his tumbled hair and pleading with him to talk to her
 This Is the scene which Lorena told the writer comes to her nightly as she staerS at the bare jail walls.
 Confinement is torture to her. She longs for the open ranges For the thrill of the rodeo contests, and for the roar of approval of a roundup crowd But she is unwilling to barter Sims honor for her freedom
 Her atotrney wonders if she will bare. at the trial, the unpleasant phases of Sims character. Lorena is not sure she will be able to do so.
 The jury to try the COW girl was expected to be completed today.

 j. Hampton Moore's endeavor 10 defeat the Ware political machine at Philadelphia and a lively contest over the proposed removal of pari- muLuel machines from the race racks Of Kentucky furnished the particular points of interest in elections today in the scattered states throughout the country.
 For the most part, only local Is sues, with but a minimum effect upon rational political affairs. lay before the people. These included the election Of two governors, three members ot the lower chamber of congress. numerous municipal and state officials and decisions by refer rndum on enactments of state legis- latures.
 The most important of the last, perhaps. was in New York. where rhe voters were called upon to de- tarmine the fate of proposal that the term of the governor be eN- tended from two years to four. with the gubernatorial campaigns falling in presidential election years. Gov. Smith has been active in it's oppo- sition.
 The Philadelphia mayorality cam- paign has been bitterly fought Los ing at the republican primaries to Harry A. Mackey, but drawing much encouragement from the number Of ballot, he boiled, Moore. former mayor, entered the lists of the cen tral election as an independent can didate. Mackey has the backing Of the Ware organization.
 The Kentucky betting machine contest Involved one of the two gu- beratorial elections, J. C. w. Bech- am. who has served two terms as the states chief executive and has represented 1t in the senate, was the nominee of the democrats. AL though not opposed to racing, he has contended that racing lobby IS seeking to control the state gov ernment and has pledged himself to remove u.

 Tn Mississippi. the second state choosing a governor, the outcome of the election was not considered in doubt. Theo. G. Bilbo, was the democratic nominee and nomination is generally considered in that state the equivalent of election.
 The congressional elections were for the purpose of filling vacancies caused by the death of Representa- tive Magee of the thirty-fifth New York district and Stephens of the second Ohio. And the resignation Of Representative Hazlett of the second Pennsylvania. All were re- publicans. James NJ. Beck had the support of the Ware machine for the Pennsylvania post.

 The government announced that, with the exception of Almeda and Medina, no rebels remain in Vera Cruz, where Gomez carried on his activities. The scattering or killing off of various groups of irregular bandits is all that remains to be done here it was added.

Traders took special notice today of
reported severe deterioration Of the
Oklahoma wheat crop. According to
a leading authority the cold Spring,
combined with excessive moisture, has
stunted the plant, and has been fol-
lowed by red rust and Hessian fly in

ported as scarcely able to return 10
bushels, where as 20 to 50 BUSHES had

Summarizing wheat conditions in
Canada today, one Of the formost
crop experts here said no arbitrary
rule can be laid down as to when seed
ing is late, as the outcome depends
on the length of the season and the
first appearance Of killing frost. 1t Is
very evident, however, that Canadian
seeding this year is much later than
normal and is very likely to give

COTTON ADVANCES
TO NEW HIGH PRICE
Firmness at Liverpool and
UnfavorabIe Weather News
Are Factors.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 20.~-The cotton
market opened firm today at an ad-
vance Of to IT points, new high
ground for all positions, on the firm
ness of Liverpool cables and unfavor-
able features in the weather news.
There was a further broadening of
trade and commission house demand,
but the advance to 1926 for July and
1880 for December attracted heavy
realizing and prices reacted s or 10
points from the best by the end of the
first hour. Offerings were we'll enough
absorbed by a continuation of the buy
ing movement to give the market
very steady undertone, however.
Private cables from Liverpool said
there had been local, foreign and spec
ulative buying in that market. but
added that offers for cotton cloths
from India were mostly unworkable
and that the yarn association had de
cided to curtail production further by
per cent, commencing Monday.
Heavy realizing. attracted by the
opening advance. was absorbed on re-
actions of about 20 points from the
best. There may also have been
little selling in hope of gradually inn
proving weather conditions in the belt
but the immediate outlook was still
unsettled and after the early offerings
had been absorbed. the volume of
business tapered off. with prices
steadied by renewed covering. At mid
day July was selling around 1910
with the general market holding
within Il point or two either way of
yesterdays closing quotations.
