Indians in Annual Easter Ceremony
PASQUA, Artz., April 10.
Yaqui Indians from Mexico and Arizona today began their annual Easter tribal dance.
The redskins will continue dancing until Easter, or until they collapse from sheer exhaustion.
For more than 300 years the Yaqui tribesmen have been observing the Easter season with the weird and pictureque rites.
The dance symbolizes the Passion of Christ, his betrayal and trial before Pilate, in accordance with the pagan Indian version.
Squaws and their braves arrived throughout the stay from Mexico and Arizona to join the ceremonies, and the slim of their mystic chanting and tum terms increased in volume hourly.

Misery Follows Age-old Struggle of Miners and Operators
At intervals for the last two weeks, hints of untold suffering and want have trickled through the news wires from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, on the tip of the American continent, where 12,000 miners are on strike.
Conditions there have been made the subject of spirited clashes in the Canadian parliament. The United Press sent Paul Mallon, a seasoned correspondent, to Glace Bay and his story follows:

SYDNEY, CAPE BRETON, N. S., April 10—In a far away colony of miners, at this tip of the American continent, 5,000 victims of the age-old struggle between coal miners and operators today are facing starvation.
A month's strike has forced them—mostly women and children—to become public charges on a dwindling relief fund that can give them only three cents a meal for food and sometimes not even that.
Thousands more of the 60,000 affected miners and dependents are living in fifth and sixth order conditions that have doubled the death rate and filled the hospitals.
In the words of Father Mac Adam, chairman of the Glace Bay relief committee: "There is only enough for us to help keep their body and soul together—and I don't know how long that will continue."
"Each day our funds grow smaller," he says. "We have been giving them meat one day a week, but we couldn't give them any meat this week because we didn't have the money."
"Herring and cod and bread and tea is about all we can buy and we need ten times more of those than we can get. The provincial government has given us no funds."
His story is a duplicate of every impartial man in this district. The town physician, Dr. E. O. McDonald, reported that Diphtheria had broken out, adding to the misery, and that the hospitals were filled.
"I give more than I get every day," he says. "You can't expect people dying of starvation to pay you. My wife is working down in the bread lines and my son has the team out driving supplies to the relief stations."
George Boyd, who runs the clothing store in Sydney, says he did not sell a suit last week.
"But I had to send 15 pairs of"
OILMEN SEEK RECOGNITION OF RUSSIA
WASHINGTON, April 10—American oil interests are trying to influence the U.S. government to recognize Soviet Russia, a high administration official said today. Whether recognition was in sight, he would not say, he declared such a decision would not be determined by pressure from oil interests.
Published reports, purporting to come from the state department, that this government considers Japan has violated her "open door in the far east" pledge, made at the Washington arms conference, by signing the recent Russo-Japanese treaty granting oil concessions to Japan in No. Sakhalin, were denied by this high official today as unauthorized and misleading.
President Coolidge has been advised that Japan has not broken her pledge, it is understood.
The administration was described as much disturbed by suicides apparently aimed to commit this government to support of the disputed Sinclair concessions in Sakhalin and to lend this government and people to mistrust Japanese acts and motives.
5 BOILER BLASTS IN OIL FIELDS

Reapportionment Problem Placed Squarely To Assembly Today
SACRAMENTO, April 10—theiment of the reapportionment problem today was placed squared up to the legislature when senate committee on reapportionment reported back two proposals seeking a re-division of the st legislative districts.
The committee refused to endorse or condemn the measure thereby shifting the entire reliability to the upper house.
One of the measures drawn by Senators Ed Sample, San Danny Harry Chamberlin, Los Anzuel and T. C. West, Alameda, calls reapportionment along with very similar to the requirement the present constitution.
San Francisco would lose senators and two assemblymen der the plan, while Los Anzuel would gain two senators and assemblymen. Alameda-co would be untouched so far as her representation is concerned.
The other plan included proposed constitutional amendment calls for the so-called eighth-five eighths plan, would give the rural sections plate control of the upper halls. Authors of the measure were authors Frank S. Bogge, Stock Herbert Jones, San Jose; Baker Salliast and M. B. Hof Fresno.

McCOY TO PRISON
LOS ANGELES, April 11—Kid" McCoY, fallen ring idol
town physician, Dr. E. O. MacDonald, reported that Diphtheria had broken out, adding to the misery, and that the hospitals were filled.
"I give more than I get every day," he says, "You can't expect people dying of starvation to pay you... My wife is working down in the bread lines and my son has the team out driving supplies to the relief stations."
George Bord, who runs the clothing store in Sydney, says he did not sell a suit last week.
"But I had to send 15 pairs of kids' pants out to Glace Bay," he added. "It's hell here now and I don't know how we are going to carry on."
Reports were heard through the neighborhood that the "Red" (Communists) were active among the men. I asked Mrs. William Rea, captain of the new Aberdeen relief committee, who has lived here for two years.
"Why, this is what makes 'reds' out of people," she said. "When hunger-gnaws at a man's stomach and he sees his wife and little children starving, he is apt to see red."
Alleged representatives of Russian communists offered the relief committee $5000 recently, but it was refused, even though the money was needed.
W. A. McClurg, vice president and manager of the Empire Steel Corp., which operates all the 15 mines in the district says that the company cannot operate in competition with American markets unless the miners take a 10 per cent wage reduction.
"American coal can be shipped into our Canadian market at such a low price that we could not hope to compete on the present wage scale," he told the United Press.
"It costs us twice as much to mine coal here as it does in West Virginia."
Another thing—we would not under any conditions offer the men continuous work. Protective tariff against American coal might help us some. But you must understand that we have only a small representation in the house of parliament. The other delegations, of course, could not be (Continued on Page Two)

N.Y. SLUGGER ASKS FOR VICTUALS
NEW YORK, April 10.—Babe Ruth, the home run king, who was taken on an ambulance stretcher to St. Vincent's hospital yesterday, was much improved today but probably will not be permitted to play ball for a week.
Although Ruth insisted that he felt well enough to get up and find something to satisfy a diet-starved appetite, he was kept in bed under the strict orders of Dr. Edward King, his physician.
Dr. King reported to the New York Yankees office after another examination of his patient that he has a case of influenza and that he ought to remail in bed at least a week to remove the polson from his system. If the Babe should insist upon leaving the hospital, another attack would be inevitable, he said.
“There is little possibility that Babe will be able to play in the opening game of the season next Tuesday,” Ed Barrow, business manager of the Yankees said.
RUTH EATS TOO MUCH CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 10.—Babe Ruth is traveling toward physical and baseball oblivion on his stomach, according to Billy Evans noted American League umpire and sports writer.
"The bambino is the champion stomach abuser of the sports world," says Evans.
"A meal for Ruth would give an ostrich indigestion. He eats four big meals every day—one before every game—and constantly between meals."
Just before a game I've seen Babe regale himself with two or three hot dog sandwiches, a dipber of ice cream, two bottles of soda water and anything else edible around the park.
"Ruth is a gourmand by natural inclination and it is only natural that he should suffer frequently from illness," says Evans.
"He eats twice as much as the Well, anyway, I just got in town and there lay the feet. It was such a beautiful sight I had to celebrate."
Bullet Hole Thru Body Of Mexican Shot at Stanton Today
While Jesus Silva, 35, was hovering between life and death at his home at Stanton today, a bullet hole through his body, D. H. Martinez, 40, a rival real estate salesman, was being held in the county jail, following a gory fight between the two in the streets of Stanton at 7:30 a.m.
Martinez, who thought he had killed his alleged attacker in a dispute that arose over the location of a Mexican circus on one of Martinez lots, came into Santa Ana on a street car and gave himself up. He was bleeding from knife wounds about his face and back, which he said were inflicted by Silvia.
Approximately at the same time Coroner Charles D. Brown received a call from stanton that the victim was dead, and he sent "dead wagon" to get the body.
At 11 a.m. a formal charge of murder was lodged against the prisoner before the authorities learned the victim still was alive.
Coroner Brown had arranged an inquiry for 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Officials learned the true status from Deputy Sheriff Dan Adams, who went to Stanton.
Friends of Silva had taken his unconscious form to his home and Dr. C. C. Violet of Garden Grove was called. He determinde that the bullet entered the body near the heart, ranging downward and coming out at the hip. The physician was unable to say whether the patient would live.
When Deputy Adams reached Silva's home the wounded man had regained consciousness. A veil of silence had been thrown about the Mexican colony, Adams reported.
Reports had it, however, that Silva, enraged because the cirrus had located on Martiner's property instead of his, rebuked the latter and then attacked him with a knife. Silva it was said, then whipped out a revolver.

DELAWARE, Ohio, April 10.—The Christian ceremony of baptism by complete immersion and modern law were weighed in the balance of "simple justice" here today.

"The circumstances in this case are of a most delicate nature," the prosecutor said.
Modern law must recognize the rights of religious freedom and religious ritual. We cannot judge McCoy's death by any standards save those of simple justice.
McCoy, who had never been baptized, was believed near death from tuberculosis, resulting from a gas attack in the world war. His wife, Bertha McCoy, declares her husband desired the baptism and his foster parents say he was opposed to it.

INCOME TAX TO BE CUT NEXT YEAR
WASHINGTON, April 10. President Coolidge does not look enthusiastically upon a proposal by Chairman Madden of the house appropriations committee for a rebate to income tax payees from government surpluses.
The White House spokesman said today Mr. Coolidge favored the present system of pay debts with surpluses because it appeared more simple and would not entail so much extra book-keeping.
WASHINGTON, April 19. A positive prediction that the nation's income taxes next year will be slashed $350,000,000 was made today by Representative Martin B. Madden, Illinois chairman of the house appropriations committee, after a conference with President Coolidge.
Madden said payments of taxes were meeting estimates upon which tax reduction plans have been laid and governmental surpluses of $68,000,000 for the present fiscal year and $373,000,000 for next year will assure the success of the plan.
Madden will call his committee together in mid-October, he announced, to draft the regular appropriation bills and the ways and means committee will meet at the same time to draw up the new tax reduction bill.

CHICAGO, April 10. Admitting fight for bail ended with the adverse decision of the Illinois supreme court attorneys for William D. Shepherd announced today they would demand early trial. Shepherd is to be arraigned before Judge Jacob Hopkins Thursday.
George Gorman, assistant state's attorney, declared his office also favored immediate trial.
CHICAGO, April 10. A second charge of murder today confronted William D. Shepherd, who already is indicted on charges of murdering Billy McClintock.
Mercury in sufficient quantities to have killed two persons has been found in the body of Billy's mother, Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintock, who died 16 years ago when the McClintock heir was a small boy. Coroner Oscar Wolff said he was poisoned Mrs. McClintock had been murdered—that the evidence was of such a nature that theories of suicide or accidental poisoning could not be accepted.
The present plan is not to seek a second indictment in connection with Mrs. McClintock's death but to hold the new development in abeyance pending the outcome of the trial for Billy's death.

William D. Shepherd, Chicago, today lost his desperate fight to gain freedom on bail when the Illinois supreme court denied his petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
Radical Leader and His Cabinet Leave Without Formality of Meeting
PARIS, April 10. After an adverse vote in the senate of his financial program, Premier Herriot announced this evening that he had resigned.
The formal ceremony of presenting his letter of resignation to President Doumergue would be gone through later in the evening. Herriot said shortly after $ p.m. Announcement of his resignation came almost immediately after the vote of confidence had shown him defeated by 156 to 132. The premier and his cabinet walked out of the chamber and there was not even so much as the formality of a cabinet meeting before a decision to quit was reached.
The present crisis was occasioned by the introduction of a measure by the new finance minister. Anatole De Monzie, which proposed to save the financial situation by issuance of four billions in paper notes and a forced levy on idle capital. The levy would have served as a voluntary loan with which to meet short term loans soon falling due.
While the chamber's finance committee was framing the measure for submission to parliament, Herriot decided to call for a "showdown" from both houses. The chamber gave him a vote of confidence by a seant margin, but the upper house refused him its support.
Resignation of Herriot brings to a close another of the many post war ministries of France unable to survive the financial, political and religious cross current that treacherously lay in wait for the country's public figures.
Herriot, in assuming his portfolio May 11, 1924, as leader of the triumphant radicals, brought with him a successful record as mayor of Lyons, the center of the silk industry; as a senator, as a minister in the Bridand cabinet and as a member of the chamber's finance committee.
In succeeding the Millerand-Poincare "National Bloc" Herriot came into power as an advocate of recognition of Russia, of promoting a security pact, of suppressing the embassy at the vatican and of applying to Alsace-Lorraine (Continued on Page Two)

BALFOUR FORCED OUT OF DAMASCUS
LONDON, April 10—The Earl of Balfour and its part yhave been forced to leave Damascus because of continued demonstrations of a Syrian mob, says a Central News dispatch from Beirut.
French soldiers were called out to suppress the disorders and used their bayonets in dispersing an angry mob which had stoned them. The number of injured is estimated at 40.
Syrian police escorted the Balfour party as far as Chorta, the dispatch adds, Lebanese gendarmes accompanying the Earl to Beirut.
Upon the party's arrival at Beirut they immediately boarded a French steamer which will sail Sunday.
