SHOOTNG OF DEPUTY
BY MEXICANS PROBED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31.—
The American embassy in Mexico
City was instructed today to in
vestigate the shooting yesterday of
Deputy Sheriff Joseph Fierros of
Webb county, Texas, near Neuvo Lar
edo.
Advices from Consul Walsh at
Neuvo Laredo said the Sheriff was
shot while awaiting the crossing of
contraband from the Mexican side
about one mile upstream from Neu
vo Laredo.
Consul Walsh said Fierros and
three constables apparently had
been lured to a spot where persons
concealed on the Mexican shore
fired upon them. The condition of
the sheriff was said to be “serious.”
CANADIAN HORSES LAUGH
AT TRACTORS AND AUTOS
WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 31— Any
fears that the horse would be sup
planted by the automobile and trac
tor in Canada are unfounded, it is
indicated in a report of the depart
ment of agriculture, which shows
the horse population of the domin
ion has increased 100,000 in the last
year. The number was placed at
3,546,233 compared with 3,446,233
horses last year. The principal in
crease was in Western Canada.
The increase was attributed to a
revival of interest in breeding draft
horses, the demand for horses for
farming due to increases in agri
cultural production, and the greater
use of horses for lumbering activi
ties, city transportation and in oth
er fields where horse-power com
pares favorably with traction power.
HARMONY PREDICTED BY
LIENTENANT GOVERNOR
SEATTLE, Wn„ Dec. 31.—Predic
tion that factional as well as geo
graphic lines would be wiped out
in the coming session of the legis
lature, was made here today by
W. Lon Johnson, lieutenant-goven
nor-elect, after a series of con
ferences with west side senators
and republican leaders. Mr. John
son will return to Spokane within a
few days.
There will be no insurgency move
ment and senate committee appoint
ments will be ratified without op
position, Mr. Johnson declared he
had been assured in the conference.
“There has been a lot said about
the organization of the state sen
ate for the coming session,” Mr.
Johnson said. “Most of this has
basis in nothing more or less than
rumors. As it now stands we will
enter into a session with one of the
most harmonious gatherings the
state senate has ever had.”
AGED PARENTS COME
BEFORE AUTOMOBILE
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, Dec. 31,
—Man’s duty to provide for his
aged and dependent parents must
take precedence over his desire to
possess himself of an auto, the In
diana supreme court has ruled.
Bernard Lundy, a stone cutter in
the quarries at Bedford, Ind., made
$180 a month, but he found he could
not support his own family and his
parents and own an auto, like the
other stone cutters.
So he sent his parents “over the
hill” to the poorhouse and let the
county provide for them while he
made monthly payments of $44.50
on a second-hand auto.
He was tried and convicted in the
county court under a state law re
quiring a child to provide for his
parents if they are dependent and
he is able to aid them.
Lundy appealed to the supreme
court which upheld the conviction.
In its decision the supreme court
held that Lundy, his only son, should
! look after his father and mother be
! fore he bought an auto.

SPIRITUALIST TELLS
WHAT HIS STUDENTS
FOUND IN HEAVEN
LONDON, Dec. 31.—Heaven is well
equipped with universities, according
to the Reverenl George Vale Owen,
well-known English clergy, publicist
and spiritualist. Some of these in
stitutions, he says, are replicas of
famous universities destroyed dur
ing the war.
Dr. Owen declares he has often
received communications from boys
he used to teach in the old parish
at Oxford, Lancashire, where he was
vicar from 1908 to 1922.
“They still call me their vicar,”
he stated in an address. “In one
communication they told me that
buildings like the University of Lou
vain, which were destroyed in the
war, were being re-erected in the
spirit land.
“Boys who ‘came over’ in the war
are put through this heavenly uni
versity, and when they learn all they
can, they have to send down their
knowledge to the earth to help their
fellows.
“They have also erected new build
ings. One of these is a temple in
octagon shape, not very much fur
nished as yet. In the middle is a
fountain, the river of the water of
!ile, which sparkles like diamonds and
sends rainbow rays right through the
temple.”
PROFESSOR HITS SALARIES
PAID ATHLETIC COACHES
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 31.—Col
lege sport that seeks to elevate it
self to keen competition with
professional baseball and pugilistic
contests “must go,” Dr. Robert C.
Angell advised the president and
deans of the University of Michigan
in a report -on student conditions
that stressed the athletic side of
university life. “As a seat of learn
ing and- culture,” the report said,
“Michigan has no interest in win
ning athletic titles.”
To eradcate the present condition,
Dr. Angell declared, one institution
acting alone is powerless. He sug
gested a meeting, one institution
members of governing boards and
faculty representatives of universi
ties of the Western conference might
be called to agree upon a joint plan j
of action.
“It goes without saying,” the re
port asserted, “that a‘ conference
called to better existing conditions
would go on record as opposing any
enlargement of plants designed to1
accommodate more spectatoi's. It
seems no rtiore than just for a uni
versity to pay those who are en
gaged primarily to ti*ain the body
no moi'e than those who are engaged
to train the mind. Present enormous
salaries are due to competition be
tween schools in developing champi
onship teams.”

| CHICAGO CUBS’ YOUNG
CATCHER CLIMBS TO
HIGH PLACE RAPIDLY
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Few per
sons who have picked 1924 All
Star National League teams, or
“All” combinations from both lea
gues, have left off Charles Leo
Hartnett, sensational young catcher
of the Chicago Cubs.
Hartnett, who is only 24, attained
fame this year with a fine record
of all-round skill. He batted over
.300 slugged out 17 two-baggers and
16 home runs. His speed of foot,
an unusual asset for a backstop,
was shown by his theft of ten bases.
When Grover Alexander, one of
the greatest pitchers of all time,
started his sensational come-back
early last season, he chose Hartnett
as nis regular receiving mate. The
young catcher was given much
credit for his handling of the vet
eran until Alex suffered an injury
that forced hm to the bench. In
cidentally, Hartnett and Alexander
were buddies with the A. E. F. in
France.
Hartnett won his post as first
string catcher with the Cubs in
competition with another star, O’
Farrel. The youngster’s batting
was the deciding factor in his fa
vor.
Hartnett was born in Millville,
Mass., and started his diamond
career with the Worcester Club of
the Eastern League in 1921. He
worked only one year in the minors
before he was purchased by the
Cubs, with whom he started the
1922 season. He was in only 31
games the first season, 85 in 1923
and 111 in the campaign recently
closed.
Hartnett was developed by Bill
Killifer; Cub manager, who formerly
was one of the best catchers in
the game.
