SERVICE PISTOLS
FOR BORDER ffiTS
HOOVER DROPS ALL BUSINESS
DEVOTING PERSONAL AT
TENTION WIRES
WASHINGTON. June 25. (A3)—
The Treasury Department issued
instructions to all collectors of
customs along the Canadian bor
der to confine the armament of
border patrolmen to the service
| pistol.
! Patrolmen heretofore have been j
armed with rifles and shotguns
| where the situation seemed to
i warrant. The new order follows
I the sensational killing of Arthur
1 Gordon, above Plattsburgh, New
York, by custom’s patrolmen. The
youth was shot while running 27
! cases of beer from Canada in
an automobile..
Meanwhile another victim was
added to the long prohibition
enforcement list when Grady
| Phillips, youthful sawmill opera
tor, was shot dead when* he failed
to heed the command of bailiff
Luke Ballenger to stop his auto
near Tallapoosa, Georgia. Bailiff
j said he suspected there was rum
in Phillips car but none what-so
ever was found.
President Hoover dropped all
legislative adminstrative business
to devote his personal attention
to a flood of telegrams coming
from International Falls, Minne
sota, asking for “ protection
| against overzealous patrol officers,
following the killing of Henry
Virkula, confectioner by border
patrolmen.

REPflRTEO ACTIVE
SEATTLE, June 25, (JP)—Passen
gers arriving this morning on the !
steamer W. M. Tupper from Bethelj
said a volcano in the Aleutian Is- j
lands, just west of Unimak Pass, is

they believed the volcano sighted j
was other than the one recently re- j
ported active in the Aleutians.
ICOIMED.
PUNE WRECKAGE
MADRID PESSIMISTIC AND FLI
ERS ARE REGARDED AS
LOST AT SEA
MADRID, June 25, UP)—A second
unconfirmed report reached here of
+he sighting of wreckage of a hy
droplane about 100 miles off the
Azores coast which might be that
of the missing Spanish fliers,
France craft could keep afloat
that long.
The report was received from a
radio company which picked up
messages from an unnamed British
freighter. The rumor is considered
improbable as it is unlikely the
Franco craft cculd keep afloat that
long.
The opinion in Madrid is pessi
mistic and the fliers are regarded
as lost altho hope is held they
may have been picked up by a small
vessel unequipped with wireless.

Be SETTLEMENT
READJUSTMENT TO NEW CON
DITIONS WILL REQUIRE
CONSIDERABLE TIME
MEXICO CITY, June 25, (£>)—
Amid much rejoicing in Mexico
over the settlement of the church
question, there stands out a tribute
to Dwight W. Morrow, American
Ambassador, for the part he played
and which was successfully termi
nated. Th$ Ambassador received
messages of congratulations from
all sides and open mention has
been made of the fact that had he
not intervened at the critical stage
negotiations might have been brok
en off.
The Ambassador also received
letters threatening him with harm
because of the part he played in the
affair. He laughed at the threats,
however, and went off to his sum
mer home at Cuernauvaca for the
week-end.
The people of Mexico are over
joyed by the turn; many seem una
ble to realize the extent of their
good fortune. To comply with the
legal aspect of the- agreement the
Minister of the Interior has already
advised the United States govern
ment that the churches may be re
turned to . the proper clerical au
thorities.
Readjustment to new conditions
will require considerable time since
many of the priests have lost con
tact with their superiors during the
three years when they could not
serve the church.

Schreiber, the Portland, Maine,
youth who stowed away on the
trans-Atlantic plane “Yellow Bird”
has repented his act and has lost
the exhuberance which marked
his demeanor since he first ar
rived here. ° I know I did wrong,”
he said. “I ought not to have
risked the lives of the French
aviators. I recognize they have
been very generous with me and
ask nothing better than that they
reap the whole benefit of their
adventure.”
