ANIMS HUNTERS LEAVE FOR HUNDURKS Officers Plan to Take No Chances With Clara On Return. BY ROBERT A. DONALDSON, (United Press Staff Correspondent.) IOS AN May 5.—Armed with the ‘atest type of manacle and fron bocts, the ‘Clara expedition’ to Central America boarded the liner Venezuela at the harbor tonight bound for Tegucigalpa, Honduras — the sleepy little town suddenly made famous by the supposed presence of Cara Phillips, the “Tiger woman.’ The party consists of Under sheriff ne Biscailuz, Mrs. Bisca‘luz, who will act as matron and Deputy Sher- itt Walter Hunter. All them, including’ Mrs. cattuz ,are armed with revolvers. Biscafluz and Hunter had charge of Mrs. Phillips during the trial and the preceding investigation, and are thoroughly acquainted with her tem- perment. “We will take no chances on her,” said Biscailuz “She is a hard cus- tomer, and has proveS it. And she is an extremely clever woman. We anticipate no trouble once we get her in our custody, but if there ts trouble we are thoroughly prepared for it Tf tt is actually Mrs. Phillips, as we have every reason to believe, you can bet your bottom dollar that she will be landed safely “behind the bars of San Quentin. I regard this as a point of honor with the sheriff's office, and intend to see that there are no slips.” Mrs. Biscailuz accompanied her husband in the face of threats made ‘by an unknown person over the tele- phone. Three times during the day, it was revealed a mysterious man called up, saying: “If you value your lfe don't pack that grip and go after Clara.” ‘The man hung up {n each case be- fore Mrs. Biscailuz had a chance to answer. _ She pati no attention to the threats, and police regard them as the work of some “nut” who sym- pathizes with the murderess of Al- bertn Meadows. The “Clara expedition” will Iand at Ia Libertad, San Salvador, and thence go overland by automobile to Tegucigalpa. Biscailuz has been given = number letters of identification to Honduras officials by Dr. M. Roérl- que, consul general of Honduras here. It 19 expected that extradition papers forwarded from Washington will arrive about the same time as Biscailuz will get there. According to his present plans he will sai! from La Libertad with bis prisoner on May 30, arriving in San Francisco about June 10. Mrs. Phillips will be taken to San Quen- tin penitentiary immediately instead of ‘being brought back to the jail here from which she escaped. ‘At the time of her escape she had mn appeal pending, but this was va- cated by the court motion of the district attorney's office. “I have done this sort of work often with Gene before,” Mrs. Bis- cailuz said tonight just before she Jeft. “I admit I am a little excited about going way down there after Clara, but I know we will have no trouble managing her or warding off the’ attacks of her friends.

This oil town’s entire population, three thousand of them when they're all at home, has gone jubilantly mad. It seemed too good to be true when the whole country was talking about a world bout at Shelby. It was a rainbow, just like ofl for this country at one time was a rainbow. But strange to say, the rainbow has turned out to be solid substance and Shelby Just cannot seem to get used to it. If there {is anything in spirit, Shelby will “put the fight over.” The town knows that tho articles have been signed and forfeits posted in Chicago by representatives of the Amercian Legion posted here and that is enough for Shelby. The sign- ing was the crack of the whip, the stroke of the gong, that set re- strained energy into vigorous action. Shelby started tonight to make the fight next Independence day a suc: cess so far as its citizens can make it so. Shelby, or as it is better known in the ratlroad folders, Shelby Junc- tion, has lees than 100 real buildings but there are more than 500 tents dropped on a rolling plain—with more cropping every day—at a point 2,400 miles from New York City, and 30 miles from the Canadian border. It is on the main line of the Great Northern railway near the junction of the north and south branches, the north branch running from Great Falls across the Canadian border at Sweet Grass to Lethbridge, Alberta. Less than a year ago Shelby was nothing but a cause for profanity from travelers forced to change trains there. Today fifty producing oil wells and many more hopeful companies drilling avithin a 15 mile radius, have established the swiftest moving camp in the west. It ts lighted and heated by natural gas from a huge “gasser” nearby. There are three or four business blocks of stores in the town but so crowded are the merchants and other business men that generally one finds three or four businesses crowded together in one store, or a shack, hurriedly built of rough lumber. By day the room will be a barber shop, drug store, real estate office, oil company and card room all in one but at night everything is moved back to make room for sleeping cots. The business of selling sleep to the hundreds of strangers coming and zoing here every day is Shelby's Pressing problem at present. The town has three hotels, all crowded. Their halls and basements are jammed with cots at night. barely allowing some of the occupants to pass, church pews, billiard tables, every flat surface that affords a rest- ng place at night. Some of the sleepers are forced to the accommo- dations because they are “broke" but many ntoney to spare if they could find a bed to b Oil and stud or draw poker, both for high stakes, are the principal industries. The chamber of commerce is head- ing a movement of the citizens to Provide accommodations for the ex- pected thousands attending the Dempsey-Gibbons fight. Many hun- dreds of tents will be erected and food and shelter will be provided for all. Great Falls, 100 miles away, with ex. cellent transportation “facilities, will also harbor many of the Aight tars. There are more than a dozen modern hotels and a hundred rooming houses there and arrangements have already been made to run special trains on the Great Northern between Shelby and Great Falls on the day of the fight. it is just two months ago that the American Legion post of Shelby dreamed a dream of promoting the coming battle. The aid of 126 other posts in Montana was secured and today they see the fulfillment of their expectations. There ‘s no possibility of interference from the law's repre- sentatives. Attorney General W. D. Rankin, at the request of the Legion- naires, has already given out an offi- cial opinion that if the state boxing law passed by referendum in Novem- ber, 1920, and made effective by a governor's proclamation in December, 1920, is obeyed, no one may interfere with the bout. Under the Montana law 15, rounds is the limit that may be boxed. Gloves must weigh at least six ounces. The ring must measure 18 to 24 feet on each side and be well shaded. Six hours before the scheduled fighting hour both contestants must submit to a rigid physical examina» tion by a practicing physician. Violation of any of the provisions of the boxing law is a misdemeancr, punishable by a fine not to exceed $500, imprisonment not to exceed six months in jail or both, The state law provides that 50 per cent of the total net receipts of any bout in the state shall go to the state treasury to be used for the construc- tion of a hospital for returned and disabled soldiers and sailors. It is stipulated that in the event such a fund has not been created and con- struction of the hospital started by January 1, 1929, the funds collected under the law shall be given to the public schools of the state.

Get busy and you will have many a free “The Public Servant” Application of Some Ancient Laws BY DONALD M’DONALD Vice President and General Manager Louisville Gas and Electric Company Whoever coined the expression “public servant” to describe the utilities performed a real service both to the companies and to the public. No relation of life is older or better understood than that of master and servant. The oldest code of written laws is that of Hammurapi, an ancient king of Babylon, which provides among other things for the relation between master and servant. The law of Moses enjoins on the servant diligence, honesty and efficiency; it enjoins on the master justice, kindness and intelligence. Among other wise statements contained in the Bible is the one which says, ‘No man can serve two masters.” Public utilities were placed under state commin- sions while at the same time certain cities claimed and exercised the right to regulate these same utili- ties. Recent enactments have wiped out most of these conflicts, but the fact is just as true as it was four thousand years ago that no servant can serve two masters. The relation of master and servant imposes on the servant the exercise of a certain deference to the wishes of master, even when the master is somewhat unreasonable. this. A wise public servant will remember We alao learn from Holy Writ that “the laborer fs worthy of his hire,” and no man promotes his own comfort or interest by beating down that hire to a» point which is below the cost of decent living. Peo- le are proud of the fact that their servants are well Fateads well fed, well paid and contented. I have heard them boast of how cheaply they bought goods, byt I never heard a man boast of the fact that his servants were underpaid or underfed. I have, how- ever, heard men boast that in their city the street car fare was five cents, although they knew that the tual cost of carrying them was more than that. The role of public gervant is an honorable role. Again we can quote scripture in saying, “He that would be: greatest among you, let him be your ser- vant.” Every man who is neither a thief nor an idler nor a beggar serves someone. He has at least one master. The head of a great corporation appears at * a glance to be almost an autocrat. “He sayeth unto this man ‘Come’ and he cometh, and té another ‘Go’ and’ he goeth,” but he cannot with impunity violate the sense of fairness which is in the minds of all those that look te him for orders, he cannot be arbitrary and he cannot be unreasonable. More than this, he must himself take orders from his stockholders and _ from the representatives of the public. All that the public utilitiés have'a right to asie is that the’ public matters. . voice, that they speak thro recognized by both sides, * forms itself of the facts b the public speak with one ugh an authority which is and that that authority in- efore it issnes orders.
