Kahn Of New York, when here a few
weeks ago, suggested to the German
government that certain revisions be
made in the Dawes plan He was said
to have sent copy of his suggestions
to Gilbert.
The gist Of these alleged proposal=
was that in preparation for what
Kahn envisaged as the time when
Germany would be unable to fuliill it's
schedule of payments under the
Dawes plan, Germany should make
the post Office a private concern. as
was done with German railways under
the Dawes plan, and that govern.

tions would operate from rcpard-

The Vorwaerts, the organ oe the
Social Democrats, insists the story is
true and urges the government O give
the plan the most serious considcra-

the story its first publicity, is attack
ing the government for even consider

Germany under further bondage to
the reparations plan.

In regard to the Nationalist criti

These questions are facing an
English court and must be consid
cred by counsel and court that never

The trouble arose when a group
of young men, inspired by American
tastes, formed a company here and
introduced genuine "hot dogs to
crowds at football games. The fam

the stands liked the new deicacy.
But forward came Levy and

an indignant claim that Hot

as a trade mark applying to sand

new firm, ''Hot Dogs, Ltd was
only registered in November of this

of New York City as n leader of a
gang of thieves, the great transfor-
nation that came to her, her life of
victory, and her triumphant death.
The evangelist, Miss Amy Lee
Stockton, tells the story, and the
large chorus choir interprets the
story in song. "Thesc songs,'
said Miss StocktonH making an
nouncement last nigh" are beautiful
beyond the telling and will live in
your memories forever.' There will
be in addition to the chorus mum mbcrs
two quartettes, Il duet, and
two solos by mis- Rita Gould who will
also direct the choir.
A large committee has been at
work most Of the day Transforming
the church into a bower of pink.
A large audience gathered last
night and the meeting was one Of
unusual enthusiasm throughout. Miss
Stockton answered. the question
" Are earthquakes sign of the end
Of the age and the coming again of

Mexicali Manager
Produces Movie

Raphael Corella, manager of the
Iris theater, Mexicali, is the pro-
Queer of a five reel drama which
has been filmed entirely in Mexicali
and the surrounding country. The
picture has not yet been shown, but
according to Herb Norris, manager
of the local West Coast theaters,
the ''stills" are very good.
The story of the picture is said to
feature both Mexican and Indian
characters. Corella secured mum
ber of Indians to take part and then
arranged for the services of the
troops quartered at the Mexicali
barracks. 1t is said that when the
Indians saw the soldiers advancing
with arms they fled and could not
be induced to return; so Corella
was forced to get Mexieans to take
the part of Indians in the produc-
tion.
S. Small, of Hollywood, was Sc
cured as cameraman for the produc-
tion.

Will Make Long
Run in Chevrolet

Chained to the steering post Of a
Chevrolet coach distributed in the
valley by Roy II. Womack, "Dare-
devil' Lee Cathey, one Of the best
known stunted rivers of the country,
will start next Tuesday at noon on
a 100 hour nonstop drive that will
take in the entire valley.
While the drive will test the en-
durance Of Cathey, for he must be
accompanied by someone and must
make it without sleep and have food
served him by the person driving
with him, the stunt will also prove
the endurance qualities Of the Chev-
rolet, for no oil or water will be
taken on, according to Womack.
AS now arranged Sheriff Gillett

steering post of the Chevrolet next
Tueday at noon in front of the Wo-

English Judge
Declares Crime
Is On Increase

LONDON, Jan. 5.-While several
American cities are struggling with
machine-gun bandits, who get con-
siderable publicity in Europe, Eng
glish judges see a steady increase
in crime here. They are particular
" alarmed at the growing number
of offenses in which the criminals
are not apprehended.
Mr.. Justice McCardie (Sir Henry
Alfred McCardie believes that po-
lice generally are being burdened
with too many functions quite
aside from the work of suppressing
crime. In an address to the Grand
Jury at the Leeds Assizes, when an
unusually long list of criminals
were booked for trial, he said:
q feel that the vigilant police
in this country and other countries
are compelled to give time to minor
offenses against bylaws which
might otherwise be given to the de
lection of crime. 1t may be, too,
that judges have been giving SEA-
tences of too light character to
those who are determined to repeat
the crime. But police officers, al,
though primarily for the mainten-
ance Of law and order, have many
duties thrust upon them by Act OF
! Parliament.
