Marking the eighth anniversary of
the business and to bring the quality
and service of the Dawson Funeral
Home up to the highest standard, the
concern is introducing a new funeral
limousine car of the very newest
design. The car is a distinct de-
parture from the carved type with its
columns and draperies, as it conforms
to the most approved design that is
followed by the foremost builders of
funeral cars.
Modern and up to date in every
respect, the Dawson Funeral Home
has a double chapel seating 10 per-
sons, display room, slumber room
and preparation room. The public is
invited to call and inspect this mod
ern funeral home at any and all times.

MERGERS MAY RESULT
IF OIL MEN WIN SUIT

New York.-Hearings are being
held in this city on the governments
attempt to prevent the proposed mer-
ger of the Standard Oil Company of
New York and the Vacuum Oil Com
pany.
The proceedings are not sensational
but Wall street is agreed that numer-
Gus oil mergers will follow the gov
ernment's defeat.
The oil interests contend that the
United States supreme court disso-
luton of the old Standard Oil trust
in 1911 does not apply to present con-
ditions, as no oil company or group
has a monopoly.
The oil men plead that competition
makes combination necessary.

MOONEY PARDON
REFUSED

San Francisco.-Following the sspte
supreme courts refusal to favor a
pardon for Warren X. Billings, Gov
ernor Young took the same position
on the pardon plea of Thomas j.
Mooney. The advisory pardon board
had declined to favor Moneys plea.
Until some further light is shed
upon the case, which | do not now
possess" the governor said, 81 accept
the conclusion of the supreme court
and the advisory pardon board"
Billings pardon request differs
from MONEYS. The former had pre-
viously been convicted of another
crime, and the law provides that in
such cases the state supreme court
must pass on pardon plea
The governor could act on the
Mooney plea without reference to the
court, which had no jurisdiction over
Mooney
Last year the governor announced
he would read the testimony of the
Mooney trial during his summer va
cation, and then make a decision.
Later he referred the matter to the
state pardon board and still later an
nounced he would be guided by the
supreme courts decision in the Bill
lings case.
Mooney was originally sentenced to
be hung, but this was changed to life
Imprisonment. Judge Griffin, who
presided at the trial, has joined with
the pardon advocates since perjury at
the trial has been exposed. Judge
Griffin has declared the Mooney con-
viction was zone of the dirtiest jobs
ever put over"
Mrs. Mooney, Ed Nolan and IsnSa4
Weinberg, jitney driver, were also
accused Of the bombing, but were ac-
quilted.

Inc building up of the volcanic chain
from Masaya to Orosi has cut Off the
original western outlet Of Lake Mica
ragua and diverted it's drainage east
ward to the Caribbean sea.
Cause for the uprise OF the sea
moor Is the fitting of blocks of the
earth's crust, which is like a pave

main bursts below roadway the sur

De raised while the other edge may
sink.
The subsistence OF the floor of the
Pacific may force some of the under
lying material to flow toward Central
america and cause an upbulging Of

evidence of the direct uplift of this
region. Lakes Nicaragua and Mana

Foreseeing End of Moon

The Naval observatory says 1t is
stated by Jefrreys, who has made an
elaborate mathematical investigation
of the subject, that the moon will be-
gin to return to the earth before 1t
reaches twice Its present distance and
will continue to approach until It
comes so near that 1t will be torn to
pieces by the attraction OF the earth.
The fragments will then form a ring
around the earth like that of Saturn.
Russell, without disputing this conclu-
sion, adds that the sun may have
ceased to shine before this exceedingly
slow recession and return of the moon
are completed.
