Buenos Aires Prepares
Honor English Prince
BUENOS AIRES, June 23. (/P)—
When the Prince of Wales sees Bue
nos Aires by night for the first time,
he may wonder whether he is a
Prince of the Arabian Nights, and
what genii have transformed this
southern metropolis into a dazzling
fairyland of light and beauty to do
him honor.
Buenos Aires, is famed for its ex
travagance in illumination and decor
ation to celebrate carnival and na
tional holidys, every y^ar outdoing
what was done the year before. U
staged, perhaps, the most wonderous
display of illumination eve-- seen in
any city on the occasion of the visit
of the Italian prince last year, and
now for the visit of the scion of
English royalty, it is preparing to
break the record again.
Millions of multicolored electric
light globes will be used. They will
outline the Government house, the
Capitol, all public edifices and hun
dreds of office buildings and institu
tions. The Avenida de Mayo, which
i is Buenos Aires’ Broadway, will be a
| gleaming bower of electric garlands
I and arches, placed every half block.
The many parks and plazas of the
city will be planted with artistic
columns joined with lacelike ribbons
of light, and the walks and flower
beds will be outlined with lights
set in the ground. Electric lights,
too, will flash out the flags and
coats of arms of Great Britain and
Argentina, placed at approprite
points, and searchlights and indirect
glow lights will also be used with
effect.
Mingled with all will be a profuse
display of streamers and flags of
both countries which will make the
city gay with color during the day
as well as at night. Special pains
will be taken in the artistic decora
| tion of the streets leading to the man
; sion where the prince will live.

When Mexico Belittles Crime
MEXICO CITY, June 24. (/P)—Bar
red from police headquarters be
cause, they assert, their papers pub
lished the truth about crime in 'he
capital in April and May, police re
porters on the leading papers have
devoted their efforts to outside in

the first trimester of 1924, it is
stated there were 2,267 cases of as
sault, resulting in injury, and 1,271
of robbery.
Statistics secured at the Federal
District penitentiary and the Belen
and municipal jails, the same paper
asserts, show that 70,914 persons
were either detained or imprisoned
in these institutions during 1924.
Ninety-five per cent of those held
for infractions of the penal and civil
codes, it is declared, go unpunished.
