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.

CROP 20 PERCENT OFF

“Dallas County will suffer a short

Kirkpatrick, President of the Ala

and a candidate for the office of
commissioner of Agriculture today.
Mr. Kirkpatrickk is one of the
foremost pecan growers in the

COTTON OPENING
FAST IN ALABAMA
SELMA, Ala., August 12.—Cot
ton Picking will begin in real earn
est within tw'o weeks as thousands
of acres of the fleecy staple in
sandy soil are reaching a rapid ma
turity, started John Blake, county
agent today at the Farm. Bureau
Headquarters. Mr. Blake sticks to
his original estimate of from 20,000
to 22,000 bales for Dallas, al
though he declared there is no sure
way to estimate a crop before gin
ning, as many factors enter at this
stage of cotton growth, to pull
down the production.
“Where crops are fertilized and
worked, the prospects took good,
and I never saw a year when work
showed up so well,’’ he said.
“Weevils are beginning to shew
up everywhere in large numbers,
and the good results of poisoning
are also to be seen on every hand.
Some of the best examples of the
benefits of poisoning can be seen
at the S. J. Kyser place, Minter; J.
D. Giles place several miles from
Selma, .H. Garrison’s place, near
summerfield, and in other places
that could be mentioned.”

MOVIE MUSIC
Music is now a necessity in the
filming of motion pictures. 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. Lubisch is at
his best in.“ The Marriage Circle,”
and he declares the. picture, to be
his best effort!

HUMAN SKELETONS 4
OLDEST MCE
British Scientists at Toronto
Hear Dr. Hrdlicka Discuss
Antiquity in America
HUTCHINSON, Kas., August 12.
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.
Closed autos, are becoming very
popular. Closed mouths ought to
take the tip.
The added healthful qualities of
sea air may be attributed to thfl
fact that sea air has more ozone
