in stiry and structure from "Earth

Goldwyn has given “The Dust

A picture that is 100 per cent en

t
YOUNG MEXICAN
IS POLITICIAN
OF SOME NOTE
Jorge Prieto Laurens Becomes ]
Most Influential Man in
Mex. Politics.
MEXICO CITY. Jan. 22.—At 2S
years of age Jorge Prieto Laurens,
finite himself one of the most In
fluential men in polities in Mexico —
acknowledged leader of the dominant
C'ooperittsta party, twice a member
of 'the Chamber of Deputies, and ,1
few weeks ago elected to the city
council cf Mexico City with all in
dications pointing to his selection as
Its next mayor. A brilliant orator
with a wonderful gift for popular ap
peal, which aids him in reaching the
lower classes with the rather radical
doctrines he advocates. Laurens, al
though cordially hated by some and
violently attacked in several sections
of the press, is easily one of the
most prominent figures in public life
here today.
Laurens was born in Canitos, state
of San Luis Potosl. He studied law,
was admitted to the bar when
scarcely 21 years old. and at 2(S
he began serving his first term in
the lower house of the federal con
gress. At the time of his election
he was only a few days beyond the
minimum age limit set by the con
stitution tor congressmen. He early
allied himself with the liberal branch
of the lower house, and was a big
factor in the development of the
Cooperitista party which two years
ago wrested control of the lower
house from the Partido Liberal Con
stitutionalists and has since dominat
ed adl legislation in that branch. He
was re-elected 'to the Chamber last
September.
Laurents is known among his
friends as the “golden tongued bov
from San Luis,” and his numerous
.-.iiceches in the chamber are appeal
ing oratorical efforts. He Is also a
fishier, and is not averse to show
ing a ready pistol if a political ad
versary becomes too vehement in his
denunciations from the tribunal. Hi
has been challenged to duels, has ac
cepted a few but never has ha been
hurt.
DEPRESSION HAS
HIT KOREA HARD;
REPORT IS MADE
TOKIO, Jan. 22.—“Th" economic
condition of Korea and Manchuria In
no better thin a machine Ions un
lubricated.” is the remark of Mr.!
Tomlta, secretary to the Finance
Department, who has just returned >
from a tour of inspection ^through!
these districts. The depression has'
struck these provinces so hard, he
says, that the advance made to the
amount of three and a half million
yen hy the Oriental Development |
Company has done little in the way
of improving the situation, and then
is a loud claim now among the lead
ing citizens for the establishment of
a special banking organ for those
districts.
The secretary to the finance de
partment holds credit companies re
sponsible for lhe present disturbed
condition of the economic circles in
the above localities, and thinks that
it is not in the least the establish
ment of any more special banking
organs, but the modification of the
business policies of the banks al
ready in existence, that is wanted
for the improvement of the existing i
situation.
Mr. Tomita will, according to the
•lejf, (o whose correspondent he
made ihs remarks, make suggestions
to the government on the basis of
hi3 findings.

Detonators Fonnd
In British Coal
PARIS. Jan. 22.—The mystery of
the explosions of stoves which have
kept the population of the capital
alarmed and the police occupied day
and night for the last two months,
is believed to have been solved by i
accident.
While a barge loaded with English i
coal, reshipped from Rouen, was dls-j
charging its cargo at the Quai de I
Javal, the foreman in charge of the |
work noticed a wire among the
lumps of coal. Hal'iing the work, he
pulled out the wire and discovered
at one end an electric detonator of
the type used in British minc3 to
explode blasting charges. Digging
about in the coal he discovered 14
more dangerous instruments within
the next hour.
According to the foreman, who was 1
formerly a miner, the detonators
were specially made to explode only
ibv a spark. The humidity of the
■Edglish climate, however, dampens
the sulphur in most of the/ fuses,
which have\to be sent to the factory
•to be dried. Certain ,miners, ac- i
cording/ to the theory of the fore- '■
man, have criminally neglected to j
collect the defective detonators, and
have permitted them to remain in the
coal.
Since the beginning of the cold
weather more than 200 explosions
have occurred in Paris homes, jg
most cases Wrecking the rooms. Sev
eral fires have -been started in this
way. and a man was killed by an
pxploding stove.

Beavers Appear Along

BROCKVILLE. Ont.. Jan. 22.—
Beavers have become so destructive
along the St. Lawrence River that •
owners of Islands in Canadian an 1

Canadian side of the boundary. An
experienced trapper lias been en
gaged for the season and will make
his headquarters on Dillingham's

The presence of the beaver was
revealed last spring by the number
of fallen trees that had been knaw^d
