at the Arbuckle sanitarium near

same institution while number
were brought to the Woodland hos

vanced concerning the cause of the
wreck. Several persons in the spe-
cial blamed the flagman f. l.. Tay-
lor, for not going far enough back
of the train TO halt the Cascade,

that the trial was a matter for the

The defense also was overruled
on motion to strike out testimony

the defense had changed its answer

The extraordinary session of Con

but it is not likely this body will
go into the presidential situation.
The Congress was called to re
ceiVc the results of Legislative vot-
ing on constitutional reforms that
had been suggested by General
Obregon. These reforms include re-
duction of the number of deputies
and changes in numerous judgships.
Decision against having Congress
discuss the presidential situation at
this time, probably was based on the
belief that postpcncment would aid
IN relieving the present tension
brought abGut by demands of the

gon party
This faction has demanded that
all labortcs be ousted from govern

FLORIDA GREATLY
OVER RATED IS
CRUWELL'S BELIEF
Declares Principal Cities
Are Suffering From
Lack of Business.

Florida-well it's a great state,
no doubt, but it is terribly over
rated, and no Californian can see
it as a possible rival to our state.
This was the declaration this
morning of B. NJ. Gruwcll, super
lntendent of city schools, who at
tended the Elks convention in
Miami, Florida, as representative of
Ell Centre lodge No. 1925. He was
accompanied by Mrs Gruwell and
their son Ted, and returned home
last night.
"The whole state treated us
splendidly, - he said. "From the
time we crossed the border into
Florida, every Elk was shown the
best possible treatment. Cities
hundreds of miles from Miami had
their streets decorated in honor of
the Elks and made it their business
to see that every courtesy was ex-
tended.
Miami did the convention hon
ors in fine shape. The whole state.
supported its efforts and the result
was a most enjoyable time all
through the convention days.
'We had no complaint to make
in any respect. But being a Cali
fornian, | was naturally curious to
compare the state with California.
Its citrus crop cannot begin to com
pare with ours. Patches of orange
groves which we would consider
small out here, were pointed out
to us as big groves. And the fruit
was not as good looking as ours
either.
Lack of Business
FThe cities, Miami, St Angus
tine, jacksonville, Tampa, all seem
ed to be suffering from lack of
business. There was none of the
activity that we know in Califor-
mia. Beautiful buildings and splen-
did homes were in evidence, but
the business to back them up was
not apparent. Folks told us it was
a temporary slump they were ex-
periencing, but it had many of the
earmarks of permanency.

AMSTERDAM STADIUM, July
30.-Three representatives of the
British Empire-a darked-haired,
slender Canadian, a broadshoulder-
ed Irishman and smiling blonde
English peer-swept the Olympic
field with victories today.
Completing a day of thrills in
which the Americans We're shut out
from the first places they had ex-
rected, P. Williams, the slender,
dark haired Canadian, won the 100
meters by yard from the British
negro, London, who led the stocky
hammers of Germany by inches.
London was the fastest off tho
mark. Williams caught him at the
50, and went on to win easily in

McAllister and Wykoff never got
going. There were two false starts,
in which Legg and Wykoff offend
ed, and Wykoff probably was affect
ed by them.
Some solace was furnished to the
Americans in that they led the point
scoring for the day with 90 against

tance men in the 500 meters SEMI
