PAGE TWO 11 REOUIRE im , TO W FOR MURDER United States and Great Britain Both Interested in Slaying of Mrs. Evans BY CHASLES P. STEWART WASHINGTON. Aug: st 12. Mere execution of the actual killers probably will not end either Brit ish or American demands for an accounting concerning the murder of Mrs. Rosalie Evans near Tex melucan. State of Puebla, Mexico. From the London foreign office it is expected a call for indemnity will come, as well as for vengeance. The state department in Washing ton is interested in reports that the murder plot originated north of the Rio Grande. Mrs. Evans, a widow, American by birth, but British by marriage. : had Mexican lands which local ■ “agrarians” were trying to take i from her. Under Mexican laws, I the “agrarians’ ” claims n.ight iiave 1 been pretty good if she had acquir ed her holdings after these laws were enacted, but she acquired them before then. Her title having been good origi nally, as a foreigner she refused to ! dispossessed and asked H. C. Cum- i mins, the British charge d’affaires I in Mexico City, to help her. Cummons was so forcible in his representations that the Mexican government drove him out of the country. Then Mrs. Evans appeal ed to President Obregon, who promised at least to protect her. : The Brißish, according to dis- I patches to the state department, ' argue that Obregon had ample no tice the woman was in danger but failed to take any precautions. Gross neglect on Obregon’s part, if nothing worse, is expected to be the basis of a British claim for dam- , ages. The state department, because of the Monroe Doctrine, always has an acute interest in European claims against American countries. This interest i s all the keener be cause British Charge d’Affaires Cummins, on being chased out, turned the protection of his coun try’s interests over to the American I embassy in Mexico City. Still further, th e fact that the victim was a woman makes the out rage particularly exasperating. In addition to all this comes the suggestion that interests which • hoped to discredit the present Mex- I ican government, by involving it in trouble with foreign powers, insti gated the crime, and did so from this side of the border. A good deal more than an ex pression of regret and an assurance that the murderers have been exe cuted ig likely to be required from ’■ Mexico City before London or ' Washington recognize the affair as settled. tAueVS J®* When the days get hotter and i hotter, drink Tetley’s, iced, and get cooler and cooler. < Orange Pekoe Tea Ceylon and Java blend WAiVryRTNA.vj I LIVE STOCK OWNERS].! , Use This Service.

Each orgniztion has its orchestra, which creates the correct atmosphere for the players working on a scene. During the production -of "The Marriage Circle,” which Ernst Lub itsch directed for Warner Brothers, and which is scheduled for the Ry lander theatre for 2 days, starting Wednesday, August 13, it was in teresting to note the different se lections chosen for the different principals. The choice of each va ried, their individual favorites be ing played for them during their scenes. Director Lubitsch personally has a passion for American “jazz,” while his favorite opera is “Car men.” “Carolina in the Morning” will start him dancing at any and ail times, bringing a smile to his face always. “American jazz,” Mr. Lubitsch comments, “is like wine. It is an inspiration when I am tired|” Lubitsch is an accomplished musi cian himself, and during lulls while scenes were being shifted would frequently appropriate an instru ment from some member of the or chestra and display his versatility. “The Marriage Circle” is Lub itsch’s second American-made pic ture and is said to be a depart ure from anything this noted di rector, who won his laurels with “Passion,” “Deceptions and “Ros itq,” has ever attempted. It is a story with several angles so clever ly handled that spectators are kept wondering at all times how the di rector is going to be able to un scramble his plot.

Six human sKeletons unearthed during the course of excavations lor a sewer in the outskirts of Los Angeles are to date the oldest evi dence of the existence of human life on this continent, according to Dr. A. Hrdlicka,curator of the United States National Museum, who dis cussed man’s antiquity in Amer ca in the anthropology section of the British Association for the Advance ment of Science today. “Findings of fossilized human remains in Ecu ador, the Valley of Mexico and parts of the United States, especially ln California, have stimulated re search on the early inhabitants of this continent,” Dr. Hrdlicka said. Discussing specimens of varying an. Itiquity which have been found re cently, he inferred that a geological antiquity for man’s habitation j n America has still to be proved, de spite of the fact that some of the re mains have been found under condi tions which strongly suggest it. “According to indications,” Dr. Hrdlicka continued, “man’s anti quity is still got geological, it is not an age to be measured in tens of thousands of years; it can probably, be estimated in thousands of years.’• Thus the specimens found in Amer ica are relativly recent incompar son with latest to be unearthed in; Europe, which date back ten and possibly hundreds of thousands of years.
