* LATOUCHE EASY
VICTIMS FOR
LOCAL TEAM
Cordova can lay claim now without
fear of contradiction to the best little
* baseball team in the territory, for the
much touted reputation of the La
*- touche ball tossers got an awful jolt
in the ball game here yesterday, when
the local boys swamped the island
visitors by a 15 to 1 score.
The visitors looked every inch ball
players when they appeared on the
field for practice, but they had a
balloon ascension such as is seldom
seen on any sandlot when they got
into the actual game. Erickson es
sayed to pitch for the visitors, but
his offerings were landed on so hard
-4 by the Cordova sluggers that he re
tired in the second innng after one
man was out in favor of Ricketts, leav
ing the latter with a handicap of a
five-run lead. Ricketts had nothing on
the ball but a little speed, and the
local boys swatted the ball to all cor
ners of the lot throughout the long
game.
_ “Jimmy” Chambers in reality
-•^pitched another no-hit game, for
neither of the two hits credited against
him should have been safeties. In the
fifth inning Sullivan got to first on an
infield hit that should have been an
easy out when Steele and Chambers
played Gaston and Alfonse as to who
should pick up the ball and throw it
4 to first, and in the eighth Mantey’s
high fly to left field should have been
another easy out if Peterson had not
misjudged the ball. Chambers during
the game retired twelve of the visiting
batters by the strike-out route.
Latouche certainly has some likely
looking ball tossers, however, and al
though they had an off day yesterday,
a return game will undoubtedly have
a much closer outcome. Sanford, quite
a young lad playing first base for La
touche, appears to be a very classy
fielder, and saved his teammates more
4 errors than they really made yesterday
by some clever catches of poor throws.
As near as could be figured out by
the scorekeeper, the bombardment is
told in the following figures:

PUEBLOS WERE
ORIGINATORS OF
AZTEC CULTURE
NEW YORK, July 26 (by Associated
Press).—Additional indication that the
Pueblo Indian cliff dwellers at Aztec,
N. M., founded the Aztec and Bonito
culture, has been uncovered by new
excavations of the American Museum
of Natural History, it is announced
here.
Discovery of a sealed room in per
fect condition at the Pueblo ruin in
Aztec, surpassing in beauty and state
of preservation any prevously found
in America, was reported to the mu
seum by Dr. Clark Wissler, curator of
anthropology.
The interior of the sealed room is
plastered and painted in brilliant
white with dull red side borders and
a running series of triangular designs,
Dr. Wissler reported. A sacred ser
pent carved in wood decorates the
ceiling. It is 2V2 feet long and of the
finest -workmanship. On the ceiling
beams are imprints of hands in white
paint, several strands of finely made
rope hang down and on the floor are
a large number of nicely cut stone
slabs, one of which was 2y2 by 1V2
feet and 1V± inch thick.
Several adjoining rooms, seeming to
bear a relation to this sealed one, are
yet to be uncovered. Dr. Wissler
stated. Continuing on the Aztec ex
cavations, he said:
“Since the greater part of the west
side is now uncovered, one can get
a full sweep over this immense com
plex of stone walls and quaint door
ways. Our excavations have revealed
that the greater part of the east and
north sides of the city were swept by
fire. The ceilings were of wood, sup
ported by great logs of cedar and
spruce, overlaid by split cedar and
bark. These fell down upon each
other and lay in the lower rooms in
great charred masses. We found the
bodies of several unfortunates caught
in the rooms.
“As the fire did not reach the west
side, we found a large number of
rooms with their ceilings still intact
and household utensils on the floor
just as they were left.”
AVIATOR GETS
SEASICK WHILE
DRIVING PLANE
TOKIO, July 26 (by Associated
Press).—Lieutenant Ferrarin, one of
the two famous Italian airmen who
flew from Rome to Tokio, encountered
such rough air conditions while cross
ing the length of Korea that they made
him seasick. The tempest met in the
Hakone mountains was unparalleled.
“In my entire flying experience,” he
said, “I had never before met with
such conditions. The air was so dis
turbed over Korea that the machine
pitched like a small boat in a heavy
swell, and for the first time in my
life I knew7 what it wrns to be seasick.
As soon as I reached the straits, where
an escort of Japanese destroyers was
waiting for me, the air conditions im
proved and the rest of my flight to
Tokio, except for the storm in the
Hakone, was made in ideal weather.”
One of the most difficult parts of
4
his fight -to Tokio, he explained, was
between Rangoon and Bangkok, where
very heavy fogs were encountered,
making it extremely difficult to keep
on the course. Between Ubon and
Hanoi, Lieutenant Ferrarin was froced
to follow a train for about three hours
in order to keep on the right course.

LENINE ADMITS
BIG PROBLEMS
CONFRONT
* —_ ...»i. ... ...
TOKIO, July 26 (by Associated
Press).—Nikolai Lenine, soviet pre
mier of Russia, asserts that the most
important problem confronting the
soviet government today is how to
harmonize capitalism and socialism.
He made that statement in an inter
view in Moscow, in which he is
quoted as saying:
“For that purpose, the soviet drew
up a special understanding which
was made public in America some
time ago. Some of the powers mis
took the concessions made as a sign
of weakness and dispatched expedi
tionary forces to Russia. The result
was a complete failure on their part,
financially, militarily and morally.”
He admitted that there were yet
many difficulties to be overcome be
fore the Soviet government was estab
lished on a solid basis but he be
lieved that the hardest portion of the
work had been already accomplished.
“It took Russia,” he said, “ no few
er than 30 years to pass from feudal
ism to capitalism. There is nothing
extraordinary in that. Old systems
may be overthrown in a day but it
takes a long period to erect a new
one. In fact, the longer the period
involved, the surer will be the basis
of reconstruction.
“The development of a state,” Len
ne declared, “depends very much
upon the education of the rising gen
eration and it is the policy of the
Russina soviet to pay every possible
attention to the training of the
youthful mind.
“In regard to the economic pros
pects of new Russia that is being
constructed, we believe that efr'ort'
should be directed first of all to thr
destruction of the position of land i
owners in Poland. This is an essen
tial preliminary to the establishment
of a permanent peace and,therefore,
to the improvement of economic con
ditions.”
SMOOTH BANK
! SCHEME NIPPED
BY AMERICAN
BUDAPEST, July 26 (by Associated
Press).—U. Grant-Smith, the Ameri
can high commissioner in Budapest,
has succeeded in saving about 50,000,
000 crowns to Americans who recent
ly opened accounts for trading pur
poses.
The Hungarian government issued
in March a decree requiring the
stamping of notes of the Austro-Hun
garian bank circulating in Hungary, to
relieve its financial embarrassment
and ordered one-half of the money pre
sented for stamping to be withheld
and converted into a compulsory state
loan. Some of the bankers saw a good
opportunity of loading their inevitable
losses on the shoulders of their Amer
ican clients.
Although the Americans had only
current or drawing account, some of

JAP SUPPLY OF I
HOSIERY NOW
ABOUT ENDED
TOKIO, July 26 (by Associated
Press).—The financial depression and
the depreciation of cotton yarn has
placed the hosiery manufacturers of
Japan in a critical position. Produc
tion in nearly all centers has either
ceased or been reduced owing to the
market prices offered for the manufac
tured goods and the closing of the
money market, which has cut the man
ufacturers off from their supply of
funds.
Scarcity of exchange funds and the
sudden advance of exchange rates con
sequent upon the depreciation of sil
ver quotations, have helped to kill the
export trade. Where the fall of silver
prices has seriously affected Asiatic
countries, the export of hosiery from
Japan has been very seriously inter
fered with, the buying power of the
mercantile community coming to a
standstill.
According to official figures issued
from Nagoya, the financial depression
has dealt the severest blow to the
hosiery industry in that district. The
latest returns from the municipal of
fice show that 115 of the 225 factories
in Nagoya have closed their doors and
1,715 of the 2,050 knitting machines
are idle. Thousands of operatives are
out of employment and the Manufac
turers’ Union has organized a support
association for their relief.
the bankers of Budapest attempted to
treat them as actual money deposits,
pass off their ready money as the
American deposits, get it stamped and
write a letter to their clients stating
henceforth they could only dispose
of one-half of their deposit. As for
the other half the depositors were in
several cases notified they had partic
ipated in a compulsory Hungarian
state loan the bonds of which are non
transferable and non-negotiable, but
valid for the payment of taxes.
The scheme was frustrated by the
intervention of Mr. Grant-Smith, who
made representations to the Hungar
ian government that no money trans
action of the government could involve
financial losses to citizens of the
United States. As the rightfuluess of
this principle was acknowledged by
the Hungarian government, the bank
ers were outwitted. This incident, as
Mr. Grant-Smith remarked, answers
the question: “Does efficient diplo
matic service pay?”

samples of made-to-order rain coats.

WIDE OPEN OIL POLICY FOR WORLD j
America, with only four months’
supply of oil in storage, faces the
prospect of having to seek oil from
foreign sources which are now show
ing "a tendency to exclude the United
States from pui’chasing from their
fields,” according to Van H. Manning,
United States director of mines, (por
trait herewith) in a paper read be
fore the one hundred and twenty-first
annual meeting of the American Insti
tute of Mining and Metallurgical En
gineers. A “wide-open oil policy for
all the wrnrld” was advocated by Di
rector Manning, who urged the active
projection of such a policy by citizens
and legislators.
George O. Smith, director of the
United States geological survey, con
firmed the statement of the director
of mines, and said the position of the
United States in regard to its oil sup
ply at the present time was “pre
carious.” Mr. Smith estimated the
supply which Is still undeveloped, however, at enough for about twenty years.
Latin-Ameriea, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands, it was said,
control the main potential sources, and all these countries have adopted pol
icies tending to shut out those of other nationalities.
