Associated Press Sports Writer

DALLAS, July lO-P-Perhaps
the outstanding feature OF the 1890
Texas league campaign 30 Tar has
been the inspired pitching OF Oscar
Tuero, that ancient Cuban with the
saliva complex. Twirling for the
Shreveport Sports, who could run
no better than third for the first
half. Tuero was victorious III ii OF
his first - starts.
The remarkable part about the
ultra-deliberate Cuban's perform
ance IS the fact that he was viz
tually an outcast when the season
began. Notwithstanding that he
was one Of the circuits most effec-
tive chunkers in 1929, Tuer0 was
cut loose by the Sports during the
winter.

LIGHTS CIGARETTE
 BED CATCHES FIRE
All Apparatus in City Responds to Box II Alarm Early Erie day Morning for Boarding house Blaze.

Simeon Tarose, a boarder in the boardinghouse run by Mrs. Agnes Peloquin, corner of Front and Livery street. lit cigarette when he got up last Friday morning. After he left the bedroom his son, who remained in bed. felt his feet getting warm and awoke to find the bedclothes ablaze. Inmates of the house were awakened. There was no panic. Some of the oc- cupants went down stairs Co get out of the dense black smoke. The male boarders grabbed pitchers and pals and fought the flames.
 An alarm was pulled in at eos O. clock from box Al, near Mansfield's 3 store. As this box is in the heart Of the business section all of the appar- atus in the city responded. The fire was under control when the depart ment arrived. The fremen took smold- ering blankets and rugs out doors. The all-out signal followed within a few minutes.
 In a conversation with Chief Ralph E. Thurston Mr. LARose was unable to account for the fire.
 According tc one of the boarders the theory advanced is that after Mir. Larose lit his cigarette he sat down by the bed to lace his shoes As he stopped over either the hot end of the cigarette touched the bedclothes or a spark fell onto the bed.
 The bedding, rugs and flooring were damaged. The boarders were up earlier than they had expected to be, otherwise no harm or loss resulted.

EWald Case Causes Demand for { Impartial Investigation

New York, Aug. 15 (UP)-Vigor ous editorial demands for an out side. non-partisan investigation of graft in New York city appeared to- day as the aftermath of county grand jurys dismissal of the EUa!d case.
 There was little satisfaction in the press over the jury's aCtion' in clearing former Magistrate George l3 Ewaid Of charges that he paid s12 900 for his place on the bench. The city has followed the case with greatest interest. since it is the most prominent, at the moment, of sev- eral involving the Walker admtnis- tration and Tammany Hall in cor ruption and special privilege charges.

WAR MEMORIALS
 IRR|7ATE SPEAKER
Burns Irked by Monuments to
 Soldiers, Not Poets

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. Is P) War and preparations for war would seem less important if chil- dren were taught that national greatness is measured in terms of service to other people and not his torical victories, G. Leslie Burns, professor of the University of Glas- gow and lecturer of the University of London, told the Institute of Pol itics today.
 Leading the general conference on the progress of western civilization, he said that men learn what their country is from the teaching of his tory in the schools and the vague memories of school history which survive in the newspapers"
 But history is generally national istic and bellicose," he said. "Chil- dren are taught that the chief con- tact of their own country with for eieners has generally been victorious Service of ones country is thought of as fighting against some other country. oMnuments are raised everywhere, not to poets, but to sol diers.'
 Gives Oriental View
 An Oriental view of western civili- zation was presented by Yusuke Tsurumi, former member of the Japanese imperial diet. Japan's am bition, he said. is Ito be the custo- dian of Oriental culture and the har- monizer of the east and west"
 The admission by Japan of the superiority of the western civiliza- tion does not mean that we thought that your western civilization was a higher type of civilization as a whole" he declared. "Our only ad- mission was that you had many su- perior points in culture. However, we have never conceded to the west that the latter had a more sublime civilization as a Whole, or that the western people were more cultured human beings than we"
 MT. Tsurumi said that nothing is as erroneous as to conceive that Ja- pan emerged from barbarism in 70 short years with the assistance of Commodore Perry" In Japan he said, the conflict between the mater ialistic and the spiritualistic is acute.

Mass Meeting May Ask
 Edict on City Sewage

Complaining that the sewage from New Britain, emptying into Matta- bessett river is causing unbearable conditions during the drought, prop erty owners of that community are planning an appeal to the state de- partment of health.
 The stream is now at the lowest point reached in several years. a condition which adds greatly to the annoyance and discomfort which has always attended the use of this means of conveying sewage to the Connecticut river, according to the protesting property owners.
 Proposers of the idea of making formal complaint to the state health department are planning mass meeting to bring about concerted action.

 Tt is well within the bounds of obvious truth to say that his (Crain's) pursuit of possible de- fendants was more in the manner of judicial investigator than of peoples prosecutor, resolved to get to the bottom of fishy story if it took all summer" the Herald Tri- bune said editorially
 "The inevitable conclusion is that the investigation of a Tammany af- fair by Tammany district attorney ia wholly ineffective" remarked the World.
 The Times said:
 Very likely it could not be es- tablished to the satisfaction of grand jury, or even of a petit jury, that the office was sold But the indelible impression has been made upon the public that, at any rate, those who paid over the money thought that the office was bought"
 Futile to Continue
 Nor did |. s. Attorney Charles H. Futile. who originally unearthed the charge against Ewald, consider the case cloeed He said he would con- tinued his effort-but before a fed eral grand jury-to show that Ewald paid s1O.0GO to Martin J. Healy. Tammany leader, and s2,00o to Dr. Francis M. schirp, influential in Ierman-American circles.
 Futile also planned. he said, to prosecute Ewald, Schirp, and four others under indictment for fraud in connection with the S4o0,000 failure of the Cotter-Butte Mining corporation, Investigation of which revealed the purchasing charge against Ewald.
 Futile established through bank records that Mrs. Bertha Ewald transferred S1o,o0o to Healy four days before her husband took of fee. Healy and Mrs. Ewald said this money was a five-year loan, and EWald said he knew nothing about 1t until he read in Ae papers that his wife had been questioned.

Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, Aug. 15 P-This once sleepy little city where Col. Charles A. Lind bergh courted Anne Morrow and, before : him, Cortes, Maximilian, Carlota and De La Borda romanced, is awaken ing from a half dozen centuries Of repose, it's quiet disturbed by the hammer and saw of the builder.
 Cuernavaca within a year has de- veloped tourist consciousness, a popularity unknown, and an influx of visitors unheard of and until now unwanted.
 The result is building boom of modern weekend houses to care for the hundreds of tourists, largely American. Most of the new hotels, cottages and apartments are to be completed before the end of the year, but even now they are in great demand.
 Carlos Lindbergh" Field
 Today there is a Chamber of Com merce, a tourist guide agency, a Carlos Lindbergh' landing field where no airplanes yet have landed because it is a rough reclaimed root ball field-a half dozen swimming pools, hard surfaced highway to Mexico City where busses and public ules, and a smoothly running "di- vorce mill'' where bonds can be sev- cred in three days.
 The four~century old churches are being patched and renovated; Cortes palace, built 400 years ago, is in pro- cess of repair; a few of the sugar mills destroyed by Zapata in 1913 are rebuilding, and asphalt is replacing century-old cobblestones in the streets.
 Due in Part to Morrow
 Part or the boom is credited to Dwight W. Morrow, the American ambassador, who has a weekend home here. The ambassador liked the town when he came to Mexico three years ago, and his place now is virtual museum of modern Mexican art. It was in the charming gardens f.this place that Colonel Lindbergh ~ooed his wife.
 Cuernavaca, one of the oldest cities in the Americas, was formerly known by the Tlahuscas Indians as Cuahna- huac, translated as The Place of the Eagle The Spaniards, who cap tured it in April, 1521, changed the Indian name to Cuernavaca, mean ing Cows Horn" after the manner Of the Barrancas that surround the town, forming roughly cows horn.
 Cortes was the original landed baron of Cuernavaca. The balmy climate and constant sunshine ap- pealed to him and in 1850 he started building his palace there, which still serves a s the state government pal ace. Nowadays Diego Rivera, MeXi- cos greatest mural painter. is paint ing the history enacted by Cortes on the walls of the great building, Am massador Morrow is paying for the work as he paid for other renova- tions and reconstruction.
