EXPLOITED BY
LABOR AGENTS
MEXICO CITY, July 23 (by Asso
ciated Press). — Conditions in the
northern border states of Mexico were
characterized as immoral and dis
orderly by Roberto Pesqueira, finan
cial agent for the Mexican government
in the United States, in a statement
* he issued to Mexican newspapers.1
Senor Pesqueira said the inscription
which appears on sign posts along the
roads leading to Ti Juana, Lower
California, “To Mexico—the road to
hell,” was accurate. For a few years
no one had been able to work with
security in Chihuahua, and he added
that “in Juarez, as in Lower Califor
nia, formerly there was enthroned
rapine in all its forms. One single
example would suffice to «how the
immorality that exists there. The
gambling concession produced $11,500
monthly to the government, and the
same concessionaires today are offer
ing to pay $50,000 monthly for the
same privilege.”
Senor Pesqueira charged that Mex
ican laborers who crossed the line
were being “villainously exploited” by
lafjor agents, with the aid of the Mex
ican authorities. He likewise attacked
the alleged practice of some Amer-1
ican merchants who furnish office sup
plies to Mexican officials, of making
out invoices for double the right
amount.
“This fact shows the robbery that is
"being systematically committed -
* against the national treasury and il- .
lustrates to what point official corrup
tion has reached,” Senor Pesqueira
commented.

BUENOS AIRES, July 23 (by As- i
sociated Press).—“The new and firm ]
current established between the Unit- s
ed States and Argentine does not es
cape the notice of Argentines, who are i
^illy aware of it,” said Dr. Jose Luis <
Cantilo, mayor of this city, in address- 1
ing the members of the local Amer- :
ican club at luncheon recently. 1
“We view this movement with pro
found sympathy,” he continued. “We 1
are just at the commencement of the
commercial and industrial acivity of i
the Argentine republic. We have
much to expect from American col
laboration. Our lands might still be
said to be deserts; our mines unex- 1
plored; our industry in the embryonic
state; our commerce but recently re
awakened, quickened by that activity
and intelligence which characterize
the American. It indicates that the
time has arrived for us to join this
movement and our efforts should be
directed so that all business men of!
the great republic of the north who ;
arrive at our shores should find the
adhesion and warmth necessary to
the development of activity and pro
gress.”

FRENCH USING
BLACK TROOP
FIGHTING TURK
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 23 (by
Associated Press). — Black troops,
many of them Senegalese, have been
used by the French in their joint oc
cupation of this city. The Senegalese
wear bright green uniforms and red
fezzes. Their faces are decorated
with scares across the cheeks and
about the eyes. They usually wear
large rings kn the ears and many of
them have straggly beards cut to a
point on the chin. Although the Sen
egalese are Moslems, they get on bad
ly with the Turks, especially in the
interior, where much of the feeling
against the French is traceable to the
black troops.
A member of the Turkish foreign of
fice staff, who was educated at several
/ I
European universities and has lived
all over the world, approached a group
of Senegalese soldiers near the Sub
lime Porte and engaged them in con
versation, addressing them in French.
“Just why did you come over here?”
he asked.
“We came to bring civilization to
the Turks,” the leader of the group
retorted haughtily.
PEPPY COMEDY BILL
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
Tonight at the Empress. “Peppy
3ollv,” with vivacious Dorothy Gish in
nil action. Great name isn’t it? And
t fits Dorothy like a glove. The Mel
ville reformatory had needed inves
igation for years, but every “inves
igating” committee reported it O. K.
Polly and the judge decided upon a
•eal investigation from the inside, so
3ollv got herself arrested. But her
’riend the judge was stricken with
saralysis, and his successor sentenced
ler'to three years instead of the three
nonths planned.
What followed, and how, in spite
>f difficulties, Polly did finally “clean
louse’” at Melvile forms the basis
or a clever, snappy comedy drama,
hat is brim full of rapid fire action
ight from the beginning. A Pathe
'lews and a Scenic will also be
shown.
On Sunday night only, John Barry
nore will appear in a comedy farce
)f the type he has made famous, “On
he Quiet.’” He’s at his best and fun
liest in this picture, which is adapted
tom the successful Broadway comedy
vherein Willie Collier created the role
)f “Bob Ridgeway.”
Next week the greatest of all emo
ional actresses on the screen or stage.
Nazimova, in her first big Metro super
licture, “Out of the Fog.” This is an
idaption from the stage drama, “Cep
ion Shoals,” in which Nazimova won
ler greatest distinction, and which is
loted for the intensity of its dram
itic situations.
Mrs. Nazimova is an actress of
unique and original talent. She is
inown as the ‘“Woman of a Thousand
Moods,” and her heart is as great in
ight fantastic or whimsical moments
is it is in the heavy emotional drama
’or which she is internationally famed.
Empress patrons will remember the
’irst big classic in picture achieve
nent. Her work in “Out of the Fog,”
shows that her art is infinite.
