OFFERS EVERY
FACILITY To
ENFORCE LAW
Sta te Interference Will
Take Place When County
Officers ImpOtent.
GUARD IS READY
Coal Strike Spreads and
Strikers Massing to Cause
More WalkOuts.

DENVER, Oct. 26 R-Governor
William H. Adams officially outlawed
the I. w. w, strike late today and
simultaneously offered the use OF
"every instrument" within his power
to enforce the law and protect life
and property" in statement issued
over the executive seal. The /. w.
w. he characterized as ian un-Amer-
lean organization" which "has openly
and publicly advocated and practiced
defiance and violation of the law.
Picketing and intimidation are un-
lawful"
State interference will take place,
the statement said, when the county
peace officers are unable to enforce
the law and keep and preserve
peace.
The statement represented the
tlrst official pronouncement since the
institution of the walkout by the
p, w, w. a week ago last Tuesday.
The governors stand was inter-
preted to mean that in the event Of
any violence or the placing Of lives
or property in jeopardy he would
consent to the mobilization Of the
Colorado national guard, a move
which he has opposed consistently
ever since the l. w. w. gave notice
of the intended walk out last month.
Colonel Paul p. Newton, adiutant
general of the guard, has said that the
various companies of the guard could
be ready for duty on a moments no
t1ce and that the present enlisted
quota could easily be augmented by
several hundred recruits from the
farming district of the state. He in
formed the governor that eQllipment
had been gone over and was in per-
feet shape if the guard were to take
the field in the mining districts af-
fected by the strike.
Meanwhile the strike continued to t,
spread today, and strikers of northern
Colorado were nassing in Fremont
county to attempt to induce the min
ers there to drop their picks.
The northern Colorado strikers or
ganized a motor caravan in which over
300 men and rs women made the all
day journey to the Fremont county
mines nearly 200 miles away. Food
enough to last several days and camp
ing equipment were taken by the
strikers, who plan to hold numerous
mass meetings to get additional sup
port for their strike program which at
the present time has caused over 1000
miners to cease work l. w. w. lead
ers said. that the visit to Fremont coun-
ty would be peaceable and that no
guns would be allowed.
The Trinidad district in southern
Colorado suffered heavily from the
strike today, and two more of the
lergest mines, which have previously
been unaffected, were practically
without men. Mines in the Walsen-
burg district were either closed or
running with depleted forces.

NEARLY ALL. PASSENGERS SAVED
WHEN ITALIAN LINER GOES DOWN

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Vet.
26 s(P)-The Italian liner PrinN-
pessa MafaIda, which sailed FROM
Genoa with nearly thousand
passengers aboard, more than 800
of them Italian emigrants bound
for the promised land of South
America, lies at the bottom oI
the ocean off the Brazilian coast.
Rescuing vessels hTrrying to the

but some 68, out of a total of
998 passengers and a crew of

The steamer sank about 80
miles from Porto Segura, port
of the state of Bahia. Whether
she struck a hidden reef, or the
hulk of dereIict, as one report
has it, is not definitely known,
but long before the liner dis
appeared beneath the waves, a
serious accident occurred aboard.
Some say broken screw shaft,
followed by an explosion of the
boilers.

MAIL PILOT ON
COAST CRASHES
SAFELY in FOG

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26 R-An
epic of air mail transportation history
was recorded here today in the feat
of Dick Bowman, Pacific Air Trans
port pilot, dropping to safety in his
parachute from storm tossed plane
in the blackness of a. m. and 5000
feet above the mountains near Cas-
taic, the southern end of the ridge
route highway.
Bowman, for whom a searcn was
started early today, when he was
reported missing, took off from
Saugus, 35 miles north of here, about
II a. m. with mail for Seattle. The
mail had been taken by truck to
Saugus because of the heavy fog
which blanketed the Los Angeles fly
ing area. Twenty miles from Saugus
Bowman encountered heavy fog roll
ing towards him before a strong wind
He spiralled upwards to surmount 1t.
"In the thick of it all my instru-
ments seemed to act up;;'' the mail
pilot prosaicly reported, "and 1 could

ship started to reel around and went
out of control, but I stuck by her.
I had my safety strap cut ready to

after hearing the plane crash just
before me-"
Bowman "sat tight" during the
remainder of the night, sheltering
himself under his parachute from
rain and cold. AT daylight, while
other company planes were hunting
him, he walked the ten miles to the
mountain town of Castaic to report to
his office by telephone.

preaching with swift strides the crux
of their case-the liberty bond trans
actions which followed the leasing of
Teapot Dome-special government oil
counsel today presented to District
Of z :lunlbia. supreme court jury a
volume of testimony to support their
contentious of deception and secrecy
in connection with that lease.
AS witness followed witness to the
stand, for this, in unusual swiftness,
Albert B. Fall conferred frequently
both with his own counsel and with
that for his co-defendant, Harry F..
Sinclair, and once halted proceedings
with an exclamation "juSt a moment, .
while he could carry forward such
conferences.
Sinclair manifested his usual ap-
talked with his attorneys. The jurors,
women as well as men, followed the
testimony very closely, some of them
frequently leaning forward in their
chairs for long spells, the better to
hear some of the witnesses whose
voices had no great carrying powers.
Representatives of three big oil pro-
ducing companies told of their efforts
to get leases ON the Wyoming naval
reserve in the transfer of which the
government charges Fall and Sinclair
with criminal conspiracy to defraud
the government, both of this physical
property as well as of the faithful
services of Fall as interior secretary
Birch Helms, formerly vice president
of the Texas Pacific, Coal and Oil
company, testified that he called on
Fall on April 10, 1922, about lease,
and that the then secretary told him
he would be glad to entertain a bid
from his company on Teapot Dome.
This was three days after Sinclair and
Fall had actually signed the lease.
Amos L. Beat2, chairman OF the
board of the Texas Oil Co., one of the
largest in the country, called on Fall
in March, 1922, and submitted a pro-
posal to lease all of Teapot Dome, Of
fering higher rates of exchange for
fuel oil for royalty crude oil than were
found in the Sinclair contract.
Beatty said Fall told him he had a
proposition from Sinclair that was
satisfactory" The witness later urged
Fall to hold off a final decision, but

White House Issues An
other Message Eliminat-
ing Coolidge.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26 F0-The
1928 presidential sweepstakes were
formally opened today with the an
nouncement by Senator Charles Cur
tis, of Kansas, republican leader OF
the senate, to Kansas friends, that
he would be candidate.
The announcement, embodied in a
letter to Roy l.. Bone, of Topeka,
Kansas, secretary of the Curtis for
President" club in that city, is the
first definite declaration of intention
by any of the numerous republicans
who have been talked of as candi-
dates since President Coolidge made
his statement last August that he did
not choose to run in 1928
Counted as an administration stall
wart in his capacity as leader of
the republicans in the senate, Mr..
Curtis made it clear that he would
run only as a candidate in his own
right.
II will not allow myself to be used
as a stalking horse for anyone" the
veteran legislator and former Kansas
prosecutor declared.
The outspokenness of the Kaw
veins, was apparent when Senator
Curtis declared: st will not consent
to become "a candidate if the dele
cation is to be selected with the
view of voting for me few ballots
as a favorite SON."
Almost simultaneously with the
Kansan's announcement, but by CO..
incidence, came another message from
the White House that the president
did not wish to be considered as
a candidate. After White House
call today, Louis Wiley, business
manager of the New York Times
stated that Mr.. Coolidge expressed
to him the view that there is plenty
of timber" in the party for a presi-
Dental candidate without considera-
ton of himself
The Curtis announcement was re-
ceived with interest by those repub-
lican leaders now in the city, but
most of them reserved comment.

The labor committee met this after
noon and it was reported unofficially
that an investigation of charges con-

Opponents of the resolution bitterly
denounced it, claiming that the at
tack would ''open wide" the supposed

of the bill on the floor of the house

that the legislators would be failing

The emotions more than reasoning
powers are used in the art of acting.
Science and philosophy are subject
to reason and logic" says John Gil
bert, who plays the hero in "Bardelys
the Magnificent" "but the arts are
usually purely emotional. The writ
er, the painter, the composer, the
actor feels more than he thinks. "And,
strangely enough, this seems to be
right, because when an artist puts his
work to the hard test of reason and
logic it usually loses its zest. "When
| think too long over piece Of busi-
mes usually find that my perform
ance is not convincing. Almost all
actors rely on the inspiration Of the
moment, and that is why it is almost
impossible to teach anyone how to act.
Mathematics can be learned, but the
person who is not interested in it finds
it harder than the man who has a
natural aptitude. But if the student
applies himself he can, by hard work,
learn the science of figures. No mat
ter how much dramatic training a
person may have he will never be an
actor unless he is born that way.
There are certain rules of technique in
acting that have to be learned, of
course, but once these are mastered
the rest must come intuitively.
