UTILITIES IN
EARLY GAINS
Stock Prices Continue To
Move Irregular. Air
Shares Make Record
NEW YORK, July 22.—(/P)—Stock
prices continued to move irregularly
higher at the opening of today’s
market. Public Utilities were the
early leaders, Consolidated Gas and
Public Service of New Jersey each
opening more than a point higher.
Bcndix Aviation opened with a block
of 5.000 shares at 9 7-8, a new high
record. Initial gains of a point or
so also were recorded by Westing
house Electric. International Har
vester, American Smeltuig and Tex
as & Pacific. U. S. Steel common
and Montgomery-Ward opened frac
tionally lower.
Expectations that credit would
remain fairly easy for the rest of
the week and the improved ratio of
stock exchange loans to market val
ues stimulated resumption of bull
ish activities.
Early activity centered largely in
public utilities and rails, several of
which moved into new high ground.
Establishment of a new low level
by General Motors Jrst week tend
ed to discourage fresh buying in the
motor stocks. Oils showed signs
of increased activity, but steels ran
into some rather heavy profit-tak
ing.
Brooklyn Jnion Gas assumed
leadership of the public utility
group by climbing 6 points. Con
solidated Gas extended its gain to
more than 3 points by crossing 151
to a new high. General Electric
and Westinghouse Electric each re
corded early gains of more than 3
points each. ' rant Stores, Allied
Chemical. International Telephone
and U. S. Industrial A1 shol also
were prominent in tbe early up
swing.
Missouri P fir preferred. North

up 2 1-2 points, and New York
Central and Southern Railway ad

upon the armies to rise against

He declared th» abolition of un

^ Publish Manifesto
The Nationalist government at
Nanking published a manifesto to
the world governments stating its
case.
The pronouncement said that in
view of communLt propaganda un
dermining the gcve-nment it had
been constrained ■ adopi measures
of self-defense with regard to the
Chinese eastern -ailway. It de
clared the soviet * government, dis
regarding the consequences, had ad
opted warlike preparations.
The manifesto, in conclusion, in
vited the world to give its atten
tion to evidence of subversive com
munist propaganda in Manchuria.
; emanating from the highest soviet
officials in the province.
Japanese news agency dispatches
furnished what appeared to be the
most authoritative report of events
within Manchuria.
Dispatches from Harbin said Wan
Fu Ling, governor of Kedijunkiang
: district of Manchuria, would be ap
pointed commander-in-chief on the
western front with 80,000 troops, and
60,000 men on the eastern front.
Dispatches said Red cavalry had
advanced to within half a mile of
Manchuli, at th* western end of
the Chinese Eastern railway, where
the rival armies were camped less
than a mile apart. Japanese resi
ednts of both Manchuli and Progra
ichnaya have fled to Harbin upon
the advices of their consuls, who
viewed the situation as dangerous.

; giving demonstrations over the
city. The planes were not struck
and as warning to the Chinese drop
ped a number of bombs on Russian
territory.
In explanation of the border situ
ation it was pointed out that com
munications were slow, and the
purported attitude of the home
governments toward the controver
sy, choosing rather to settle it by
peaceful means than war. had not
yet been conveyed to the rival
military forces.
SHANGHAI, Jul y2.—(Jh—Japan
ese press dispatches from Nanking
late today said the nationalist gov
ernment had decided to appeal to
the league of nations for settlement
of its controversy with soviet Rus
sia growing out of its seizure of the
Chinese Eastern railway In Manchu
I ria.
The appeal Is to be made in the
I event Russia ‘ Takes a positive ac
tion in connection with the Chin
ese Eastern railway.” the dispatch
said.
It was stated the ministry of for

ese ministers resident in countries
signatory to the league of nations
covenant instructing them to in
form their government of “Russia’s
unlawful attitude”
WASHINGTON, July 22.—(>=P'—
Great Britain now stands formally
ranged alongside the United States
In the effort to prevent war be
tween China and Russia.
Sir Esme Howard, British ambas
sador, has placet before Secretary
Stimson a note from his govern
ment saying it is “happy to associate
itself” with the American action
calling attention ox the Chinese and
Russian governments to their obli
gations under the Kellogg anti
war treaty.
The note is ir response to the
secretary's communication on the
subject last week with the British,
French and Japanese ambassadors,
whose governments are bound un
der the four-power Pan-Pacific
treaty of 1921 to confer when peace
is threatened in the East.
While the Kellogg treaty will not
become formally operative until the
Japanese ratification is deposited
here Wednesday, the United States
has taken the position that both
Russia and China, having adhered
to the pact and renounced war as a
national policy, are morally obligat
ed to avoid war ir. the Manchurian
controversy.
That view is shared by Frank B.
Kellogg, former secretary of state,
who had a large part in the world
wide negotiation of the treaty and
has come back to Washington to
take part in the ceremony which
will attend the deposit of Japan’s
ratification. Holding that Secre
tary Stimson’s reminder of the
treaty’s obligations to Russia and
China was "entirely proper”, he
said:
"I don't think there will be any
war.”

tered into a conspiracy to kidnap
and murder Gen. Lucio Blanco arm
Col. Aurelio Martinez."
Vails said Obregon had escaped
prosecution by his death, Dut re
garding Calles said:
“But the prosecution against Cal
les and his fellow conspirators wui
remain pending in the fervent hope
that some day they will be called
to answer for their enormous crime
at the bar of justice in Webb
county.”
The charges against the Mexi
cans were made at a time when the
Mexican government was threaten
ing to remove its consul from La
redo, a step which would have
hampered the immense import and
export business between the two
countries through this port. The
threat was said to have been made
because of the alleged mistreat
ment by Laredo officials towards a
consulate attache.
When it became known General
Calles would pass through Laredo
on his way to New York, Judge Vails
refused to coment on his old charge,
saying it was made while he was
district attorney.
Besides Dr. Margo, those accom
panying the general are Arturo
Elias Calles, former consul at New
York, and brother of the genera:;
Carlos Vega, Manuel Rios Palacios.
Melchor Ortega and Manuel Gper
rado, his friends, and an assistant
of Dr. Margo..
General Calles seemed to have no
objections to the cameras as they
clicked on all sides. Once he lined
up with his party to poc. for a pic
ture.
When his train pulled out there
was a general waving of hats and
handkerchiefs to which the general
waved happily.
The former president did not
seem in the best of health. It ap
peared somewhat of an effort for
him to descend the steps of his
private car, and when he walked
it was noticed that he favored his
left side.
His party was escorted across the
international bridge by Consul de
la Colina, Mexican consul at La
redo.

SEEKSEARLY
SCHOOL DATE
County Superintendent To
Push Date For Rural
Opening
' V
Mrs. W. R. Jones, county super
intendent of schools will advocate
beginning the fall term in rural
schools as soon as possible after
September 1, in order to complete
as much work as possible before
spring plowing and other work
takes the students into the fields
again, she let it be known Mon
day.
For this reason she will ask rural
school heads, who will meet with
her Thursday at the court house to
select August 30 and 31 as insti
tute days in order to make plans
for the early starting.
“I believe that through this me
thod, pupils in the rural schools
will get almost as much schooling
as boys and girls in town. Those
who are delayed in entering because
of late cotton picking can make up
their work by the Christmas holi
days, while it is almost impossible
to make up work in the spring, es
pecially when so few of the chil
dren know just when they are go
ing to be taken out to do work in
the fields,” Mrrs. Jones said.
Rural school superintendents will
meet with Mrs. Jones in her office
at the court house July 25 to make
plans and name committees for the
institute.
