DUKE FEARS RED SKINS IN i. S.

NEW YORK, Feb 6. UP)-Keep-
ing a close LOOKOUT for Indians,
cattle rustlers, stage-coach robbers
and ordinary gangsterS, his grace
the Duke of Marlborough stood
guard over his four children today
as he came up the bay on the
Majestic. l-
They say it is a deucedly dan
gerous country" he explained Why,
just this morning 1 heard of an
attempt to carry off little Gloria
Vanderbilt"
Someone attempted to explain to
his grace that no one had tried
to kidnap Gloria, it had just been
a couple of sneak thieves.
Il can't help it, he replied. Il
have been reading all these ter
rible stories in England. I'm not
going to take any chances.
The question came up as 10
whether the four children could
be photographed without fear of
Indian gangster- pirates boarding
the Majestic and forcing everybody
to walk the plank.
Il rather think not" his grace
said You may photograph tie
duchess and you may photograph
me, but you must not take a single
picture of my children"
His grace and the duchess posed
and then explained they were
going to hurry to Florida before the

now supply this territory with
American merchandise. The free
zone will encourage the import
ance into this territory of large
amounts OF foreign merchandise
and will prohibit Mexican citizens
who now trade in American bor-
der cities from trading on the Am
erican side of border
Such zone will also encourage
Americans to patroniZe Mexican
merchants and return to the Unit
ed States with merchandise up to
SlOO in value without duty. It will
demoralize established values that
have taken years to build and
without question will force many
American business houses out of
business We feel that this merits
strong protest on the part of
our government to the Mexican
government in view Of our liberal
attitude toward their citizens and
the opening of this port of entry
"a hours per day"
A special comyaittee composed
of p. P. andersen, w. H. L9renz
and Richard Emerson was appoint
ed by President Edwards to handle
the free zone problem.
General attitude of Calexico
merchants toward the proposed
zone was one of watchful waiting.
Most of them feel the effect on
American business men, if the
zone is put into effect. will be
largely determined by how strict
the customs enforcement will be.
If Mexican buyers are allowed to
continue to bring small purchases
across the border, their business
will not be so greatly reduced. If,
however, Mexican authorities halt
all traffic of goods across the Dor
der, except in wholesale lots, bust
nessmen anticipate a more serious
problem.
The free zone plan calls for
lowering of tariff duties, similar
to the procedure followed in En-
senada and Tia Juana, to permit
goods to enter in quantity, duty
free. In some instances, merchants
on the Mexican side may be able
to undersell American merchants,
due to the difference in wage
scales.
