the sun-god. He put on a huge mask and if 1t had not been for the other man, who acted as guide, he would have had a hard time finding his way back to the village; for the mask made it difficult to see.
 After reaching Walpi just at the break of day. the ''sun-god" visited the kivas, or sacred rooms. Kivls serve much the same purpose as churches. The rooms are usually underground, and are entered by means of ladders.
 The man who pretended to be the sun-god carried with him beans and corn, standing for important crops grown by Hopi farmers. He visited several houses in the village; and at the doorway of each one. was met by the oldest woman living there. She threw a pinch of sacred meal over him, and uttered prayer. Then the "sun-god" bowed six times. handed tho woman a few beans, made marks on the doorway with sacred m7al, and went on his way.
 Next Juiy. the people of Walpi will have sunset ceremony to bid farewell 10 the sun.

watchful eyes of adult members of the
family.
Two gamblers engaged in gun battle
in the citys streets, and when the roar
of their six shooters had ended, one was
dead and the other wounded.
The man who did the shooting is what
we would call in our modern terms,
big shot He finds plenty of support
in his contention that the shooting was
iustifiable. Witnesses at the coroner'S
inquest asserted that he chivalrously re-
Trained from drawing his gun until his
opponent had fired twice at him. Only
then did he pull his own weapon and
in workmanlike fashion dispose of his
antagonist.
The result is complete exoneration"
for him from a eoroner's jury and
recommendation that the case be brought
before the grand jury so that it can add
its official eXoneration, doubly stamp
ing the killer as a good citizen who
merely had a disagreeable job to per-
form and performed it with high re-
spect for the ethics of good society.
1t is really remarkable that the Reno
Jury did not follow the example of an
old time Arizona jury considering the
death of a Mexican who had been shot
and killed by railroad policeman while
the Mexican was assertedly engaged IN
trying to rob a railroad car.
The testimony at the Arizona inquest
showed the railroad policeman had for
merly been member of the marine
corps. The jury returned a verdict OF
suicide" against the Mexican because
he had tried to beat the eX-marine to
the draw.
Reno may expect many such killings
as the present one Where everything
is legally declared to be wide open
human life cannot help but be held
cheaply

FINE SUPPLY OF

If officers are right, Charles
Williams, 63, was begging on the
streets of FL Centre il violation of
a city ordinance.
II Williams is right, he is an i'm
portant parsonage, and not TO be
trifled with.
For officers arrested Williams on
a charge OF vagrancy. In police
court he pleaded not guilty. Trial
was set for this morning, but con-
tinued when Judge Kendall B. Per-
kins failed to appear
Williams told city police he is the
man who floated a S6,000000 bond
issue in San Pedro recently. He
gave no particulars He also taught
his wife to pilot al airplane, he
said, and she is now flying the mail
in Kansas City.
He told of an automobile accident
near Yuma in which two persons
were killed, but he escaped injury
and walked from the desert into
Yuma. Once again he refused to
give particulars.
Lastly, Williams told the cops he
makes a journey into Arizona
about twice a year, to return With
a sack full of virgin gold. The
officers became interested. but
could not learn where the gold
comes from.
In spite of his stories, Williams
is still held in the county jail,
awaiting trial.

TOO RESPECTABLE

1T is not much to the credit Of the fed
eral government that the only way it
seems to be able even to attempt putting
Al Capone behind the bars IS through a
charge of failing to pay his income tax.
Capone is known as dealer in liquor
in fact the king of liquor dealers, and
dealing in liquor is an offense against
the government under the eighteenth
amendment to the constitution.
If half the things known and printed
about Capone are true. 1t does not seem
that any great obstacle should be en-
countered in dealing with him if the
government really wishes to deal with
him.
And it is equally discreditable for the
government to be seeking a share of
Capone's gains, obtained in direct vlo-
lation of the governments own laws.
II IS nothing more or less than the gov
ernment going into partnership with Ca
pone. Rather a far-fetched view of 1t,
possibly but none the less, that IS what
it amounts to.
Just so long as criminals OF the Ca
pone type are treated in this way, just
SO long will they flout the government
and the rules of society.
The government states that attacking
Capone through the income tax laws Is
the best method it has Of putting Capone
behind the bars 1t looks like very
poor best and there is no reason to be-
lieve that it will succeed
