MISSING GIRL
REPORTED WE'D

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. II. Wp)-
Paternal blessings and a "substan-
tial gift went forth today to Vir-
ginia Ewing Gates McCaffery, who
disappeared from Wyoming ranch
on August 10 and turned up at
Boise, Idaho, over the week end as
a bride.
Thomas S. Gates, president of the
University of Pennsylvania and for
mer partner in Morgan and Co., dis
patched $3.50 to his 23-year-old
daughter. He let it be known that
he would provide the couple with a
monthly allowance.
Mrs. McCaffery had been the OBJ
ject of a nationwide search follow
ing her disappearance August 10
from a dude ranch at Cora, Wyo.
Nothing was heard from the girl
for a month. Then on Saturday
night, DR.. Gates received a long
distance telephone call from Boise.
Daddy this is Virginia. I'm mar
ried and happy" the girl reported.
DR.. Gates, shortly thereafter, pub
licly announced the marriage of
Virginia Ewing Gates to Daniel Nc
Caffery.
In reports of this marriage car
ried by morning newspapers it was
stated that the bridegroom had
been a former taXicab driver in
Ell Centre and that the couple in
tended to return here to live.
G.. j. Mullen, operator of a local
taxicab service, stated today that
to his knowledge, McCaffery had
never been a taxicab driver in
this city. Investigation made else
where showed further that while
known here, McCaffery had never
been known to have worked in
that position.

TUo Killed When
Mob Stages Riot
In Cigar Factory

MANILA, P. l., Sept. IT. U.P) =
Two striking cigarmakers were kill
ed and ten persons were wounded
today in wild riot at the gates of
the Minerva cigar factory.
Thousands of rioters attempted to
break into the factory in the climax
of month-long strike of the cigar
makers. Six of those injured were
strikers, the other four were police
men.
After quieting the disturbance,
the authorities took into custody 80
alleged leaders of the mob.
The situation remained tense and
there were rumors another upris-
ing such as that at Tayug in 1881
was being plotted. In that local re-
bellion a band of rebels seized an
entire town and burned II buildings
while sacking the community. Po-
lice drove them off a day later, with
II persons losing their lives in the
fighting.
Evidences of Communistic actl-
vities in the cigarmakers' strike
made the authorities especially
watchful.
The strike started when 5000
workers demanded 80 centavos (45
cents in U. S. money! as a daily
rate of pay. The present scale is
go centavos.
Despite the strike many cigar fac
tories are operating with reduced
forces.

retary of the treasury, said today.
In a Constitution Day address
before the Women's National Re-
publican club, Mills said planned
economy means the end of econom-
ic liberalism and calls for an au-
thoritarian government, of which
the relationships of Italy, Germany
and Russia are the supreme express
sion.
The United States constitution,
Mills said, got its authority from
the people themselves and set up
certain limitations designed "to
secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and to our posterity"
During the last year and half
under the guise of emergency legis-
lation, practically all of these linn
itations have been broken down
or ignored" Mills said.
"As a result the federal govern
ment is no longer one of limited
powers, but has almost unlimited
authority over the life of indivi-
dual citizens. Today the federal
government in effect tells the wage
Garner what he may earn and how
long he may work; the farmer

duce on his own farm; the mer-
chant at what price he may sell
his goods; the manufacturer what
addition he may make to his plant

the well owner how much oil he
may flow.
ut controls the flow of capital
and savings. 1t has entered into
business in competition with its
citizens.
Nowhere in the constitution are
these immense powers even sug-
gested."
New government codes have
obliterated state lines and the
states themselves have "abjectly
surrendered their sovereignty,
Mills said. Planned economy is
not working in this country any
more than it has ever worked any

PRAISE GIVEN
TEACHERS BY
SCHOOL HEAD

High tribute was paid 10 the
teachers of the citys elementary
schools by Guy A. Weakley super
intendent, before a large gathering
of civic leaders at the Barbara
Worth hotel Saturday noon. The
luncheon was in the form Of well
come home to the teachers in prer-
aration for the opening of school
today.
Weakley, on behalf of himself
and the elementary school teach
ing staff pledged full cooperation
with parents in giving the best pos
sible training to the children en-
trusted to their care. He suggested
environment as probably one of the
greatest factors influencing future
lives of the children and held UP
the improvement of environment as
a goal toward which both teachers
and parents should work
The meetings opened with the
singing of America" under the di-
rection of Margaret Kendall, new
music supervisor, with Mrs. r. M
Armstrong at the piano, followed
by the pledge of allegiance to the
flag and an invocation.
After his talk, Weakley intro
duced C. B. Collins, county super
intendent of schools, who stated
that a high goal in daily contacts
was advisable for everyone. Rev.
Carl Harwood of the First Baptist
church extended an invitation from
the churches of Ell Centro to the
teachers.
Incoming teachers were intro
duced by Weakley and heartily ap-
plauded by the guests. Weakley
declared that cooperation of teach
ers and parents was necessary for
the best interests of the children,
whose minds must be stimulated
to independent investigation and
action on problems which confront
them. Encouragement of indivi-
duality is one of the greatest steps
toward the creation of leaders,
Weakley said.

ABOARD SIS ARGO (Via Mackay
Radio Sept. 17-Tom Sopwith and
his royal blue British challenger
Endeavour, stunned the folks of
Newport, brass s-bound capital of the
yachting world, when he sailed his
boat to victory today over Harold
s. Vanderbilt's Rainbow, American
defender, in the first official race OF
the Americas cup series.
Endeavor won by two minutes
and nine and two -fifths seconds.
The race today was actually a
re-race of the first official contest
when Rainbow, leading by three
eighths of a mile, was unable to fin
ish in the limit of five and a half
hours.
-Four out of seven victories are re-
quired to win the cup.
Endeavour's triumph today was a
brilliant tribute to Sopwith's sail
ing craft, because the British chal-
lenger was never leading until they
rounded the mark on the home
ward run.
At that time Rainbow was 81
seconds ahead, but the challenger
showed a great tactical sense by
maneuvering slightly beyond the
mark and getting greater way as
she boats swung off their last
hitch to windward and head
