Arizona Charges Mexi-

Across Line.

Local Officer States Chi
nese Cross Border Of
Own VOlitiOn'

TUCSON, Ariz.. Aug. 6. W.D-
John c. Gung1, United States at
torney, said today he had been ad-
vised that the state department
had asked the Mexican govern
ment to investigate alleged dump
ing" of Chinese aliens across the
Mexican border into Arizona.
GungI said more than 1000 Chi
nese have been arrested and de-
ported from Arizona border towns
since last March, at cost OF APP
proximately 100000. Many OF
these, Gung'l said, made affidayits
to the effect that they were ex-
pelled by Sonoran officials under
threats.
GungTs request to the state de-
partment brought to a head
matter that has been brewing for
several months. Chinese have en-
tered American jails with cries OF
Joy. telling tales of leaving Mexico
under threats of violence.
The cost of deporting the aliens,
Gungl said, has Appropriated
$40O 900. Many of them are in
good circumstances, being mer-
chants from Nogales, Aqua Prieta
and the other border towns he
said, "but United States deporta-
ton law holds that this govern
ment must pay all expenses"
Gungl said his message from the
state department said the Mexican
government had been asked to In
vestigate the situation in general,
with particular attention to alleged
conditions at Nogales, Sonora.
Chinese coming across the inter-
national border into Imperial
county do so Of their own volitlon
and not because they are forced to
do so by Mexican officials, Under
sheriff Rodney Clarke declared
| today.
Clarke, we'll acquainted with
Mexican conditions by reason of
years spent in ranching below the
border. declared that Chinese leav-
ing Baja California are not forced
to do so by Mexicans, but cross the
border because they wish free
transportation, at the expense Of
the United States government, to
their homeland.
Records at the county jail here
show that the Imperial county Jail
has larger traffic in illegally en-
tered Chinese than any other Jail
in the United States.

NATIONS PLANNING.
DRASTIC ACTION.
TO KEEP PEACE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. U.H-
Nineteen American nations today
were considering drastic diplomatic
action, if necessary, to prevent war
between Bolivia and Paraguay.
The 10 nations, including the
United States, are maintaining a
solid front in support of their rep
reservations of August to the
two South American belligerents.
These representations urged Bo-
livia and Paraguay to arbitrate the
dispute over the Gran Chaco ter
ritory and served notice that the
10 nations would not recognize ter
ritorial gains by conquest in the
western hemisphere.
This was a sweeping application
of the Hoover-Stimson non-recog-
milton doctrine first laid down in
the Sino-Japanese conflict last fall
Bolivias reply to the collective
note was received by the state de-
partment last night. Gables from
La Paz said the Bolivian note ar
gued that the non-recognition doc
trine should not apply to the Chaco
territory, on the ground that this
land is rightfully hers.
Paraguay's reply has not yet been
received. She has, however, cabled
the five nations comprising the
neutral commission, agreeing to
their. proposal to suspend hostili-
ties and arbitrate the dispute on
the basis of positions held on June
l.
LA PAZ, Bolivia, Aug. 6. W.H-
The "Stimson doctrine" that victory
confers no territorial rights does
not apply to the situation In the
Gran Chaco, the Bolivian reply to
neutral nations at Washington
maintained.
Bolivia claimed her troops were
mobilized in territory which juridi-
cally and historically belonged to
her.

6. U.P)-Further testimony that
Capt. William N. Lancaster threat
ened to get rid of" Haden Clarke
for whose death he now is on trial
on a capital charge of murder, was
presented by the state today.
M. G. Tancrel, who flew with
Lancaster on a western tour survey
ing a proposed new air transport
route, described a conversation with
the British flyer in a hotel room
at Nogales, Ariz., in which Lam
caster angrily announced he was
going to give up the flight, return
to Miami and eliminate Clarke.
Lancaster had charged Clarke

M. Keith-Miller, Lancaster's former
lover and flying partner for five
years.
I'm through. I'm sick of it
You can paddle your own canoe
I'm finished" Tancrel quoted Lam
caster as saying in the hotel room
I'm going back. I'm going to
ged rid of that = ;"
Tancrel said he had replied, "Im
not interested in your private af-
fairs"
Clarke was shot fatally on the
morning of April 21st in the Sleep
ing porch bed he occupied with
Lancaster, less than "a hours after
Lancaster returned from that west
ern trip and after he had learned
of Clarkes approaching marriage
to Mrs. Keith-Miller, who also
lived in the cottage where the
shooting occurred.
1--WE talked of Lancaster's af-
fairs and Mrs Keith-Miller and
Clarke again at Ell Paso on March

but 1 could hear what they said.
Lancaster was talking about
Mrs. Keith-Miller and Clarke and
told Hince that Clarke was double
CT ossing him Lancaster remarked,
I've seen a lot of dead men. One
more won't mean anything"
Under Indictment
Tancrel now is under indictment
by the state on n charge of imper-
sonating a naval officer.
Tancrel admitted he had asked a
deputy not to be placed in the same
cell with Lancaster. When the de-
fense attorney asked him whether
he said he would kill Lancaster or
would like to see him burn, Tan
crel replied:
mo sir. I wouldn't say that
about a dog. I have no i'll feelings
against Lancaster. We are both
British"
He testified he had given Mrs.
Keith-Miller $25 in cash at Lam
casters request and often loaned
Mrs. Keith-Miller and Lancaster
money.
j. o. Barker, city fingerprint ex-
pert, was recalled to the stand. He
said he had examined a portable
typewriter and a blood covered pen
Gil found in the Keith-Miller home,
but no fingerprints were legible.
He identified the bullet found by
State Investigator ]. B. Rowland.
Discussing the gun with which
Clarke was killed, Barker said he
found no f1ngerprints on the trig-
ger or barrel. In response to a
question, he explained that finger
prints could have ben avoided by
drying up the skin on the hands
with gasoline, which then would
leave no marks, or wiping the gun
with cloth or wearing a glove"

got tangled up in the Olympic
5000-meter final, and lot of the
International amity and peace
among mankind that the competi-
tions are supposed to produce were
missing today.
These two running stars had put
on a great race. They shook off
all the others, and came into the
final half lap, step and step, with
Lehtinen in the lead. Hill started
to sprint. Lehtinen cut in front of
him. Again Hill began a final at
tempt to pass the Finn. And again
Lehtinen cut over into Hills path.
Hills stride was broken by this
second seeming foul, and try as he
would he could not quite catch The
Finn who finished first In the
world record time of 14:17.
The spectators jeered angrily.
They had booed somewhat defi-
Cured. The race over, and Leh-
tinen in first place, they really
started to make unflattering noises,
and not for some minutes was Bill
Henry, official announcer, able to
subdue them.
The judges went into a huddle
which lasted two hours when news
men were told of the official de-
cision-Lehtinen winner; no protest
from Hill or the U. s., new world
record time for each, for, oddly
enough, Hill was also timed in
14:17, although finishing second.
Some time later the crowd was in
formed of the outcome, and there
were fresh, but less noisy boos.
The 5000-meter was one of only
two events decided on Friday. The
other was the 400-meter, won by
Billy Carr, of Pennsylvania, over
Big Ben Eastman, Stanford uni
versity ace. Although attention
was somewhat handicapped by the
buzz of conversation over the re-
Gently run 5000-meter, Carr and
Eastman supplied a thrilling COM
petition. The eastern won, just as
he had on two recent occasions.
All were in record figures.
Set Fast Time
Carr's time in winning by a
stride was 46.2, faster than the
4Oo-meter has ever been done be-
fore. Eastman, too, broke world
and Olympic records, for he was
caught at asa. The official world
record is At, held by Emerson

The gruelhng decathlon compe-

from Haskell Institute, was the
halfway leader. He had 4266.20

TRAILS CARR in
4OO-METER RACE
Arkansas Boy Runs Legs
Off Of Stanford Star
AT Olympics.
BY NORMAN B. DEUEL.
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Ga pint
sized runner from Pine Bluff, Ark,
Will Carr by name, was recognized
today as the greatest of quarter
milers, the perfect running ma
chine.
In the acme of form and ryth-
mical stride, he showed his flash
ing heels to the worlds best 400
meter men for a new world record
on the Olympic track yesterday.
He vanquished Ben Eastman of
Stanford for the third time, prov
ing beyond all doubt that the long
legs of that bespectacled Pacific
coast star are second best Ill this
gruelling sprint.
There could be no cavil. Eastman
was at his top, but that was not
good enough for Wee Willie, not by
two-tenths of a second. Carr fin
ished in the astounding time of
46.2, Blazing Ben almost stepping
on his heels to cross the line in
46.4.
1t was a two-man duei for the
10000 people who clinched their
hands and rose to their feet as the
lead see-sawed between these two
outstanding antagonists.
Almost forgotten were Walters of
South Africa, Wilson of Canada,

couldn't and didn't run, but they
were overshadowed by two outstand-
ing speedsters.
Eastman was in the second lane,
Carr in the fourth, staggered ahead
of Blazing Ben because of the
curved track.
1t was an ideal spot for the STAN
ford man. He could let Carr pace
him, and gauge his speed according
to necessity as the race progressed.
But this was reckoning without
the diminutive fellow from Arkan-
sas.
The starter fired his gun from
the middle of the track.
The six men tore out. Eastman
was next to the inside lane, Carr
ahead of him in the center.
Eastman Takes Lead
Eastman's long legs gathered
speed slowly for the first few steps.
Then they drove furiously ahead.
In so yards he had passed Gordon.
despite the Los Angeles mans stag
gered lead of seven yards. Blazing
Ben stretched out his arms and
almost pulled himself ahead.
Golding, in the outside lane, held
his starting advantage Behind
HIM Carr raced along in easy stride.
Eastman was third.
Then Ben made his bid.
Foot by foot he ate up the dis
tance down the back stretch. The
stands roared as he came even
with, then passed Carr.
They thudded out Of the turn in
to the straightaway.
The thunder of tribute to East
man was like the echo of a gun
pushing Carr into q furious burst
of speed.
The dramatic stiffness of a
hushed multitude filled the sta
dium as Carr drew up. In exqui-
site form he drove to the lead and
the two went in terrific pace to-
ward the tape, SO yards away.
Those indrawn breaths were ex-
PEELED in a mighty cheer as the
little fellow flashed across the fin
ish line, Eastman striving cour-
ageously in a futile, closing squirt.
There was a margin of about five
feet between the two. -Four rods
back Wilson pounded in for third.
Walters rushed in a final sprint
for a strong fourth, and Gordon
and Golding brought UP the rear.
