wish the department to be put in
the position of encouraging inyes-
LEGATIONS that are not strictly in
the interests of projecting the
government on the one hand and
the bona fide settler or locator on
the other. In all organizations
such as your field organization
the tendency is to extend the field
of operation beyond what is rea-
sonable and necessary in the pub
lie interest. Your officers, there
fore, will have to justify them
selves completely in the scope of
the investigation which they un-
dertake. l would like to have
you, together with Mr.. Schwartz,
carefully consider whether or not
a portion of the cases listed for
field investigation, as we'll as those
pending in court, could not very
properly be released, and thereby
permit you to concentrate your
energy upon the more fragrant
violations of the law, thereby
making it practicable to entirely
dispose of the pending cases and
keep well within the appropria-
ton.
"The healthful example result
ing from speedy examination,
trial, and conviction of fragrant
cases will, in my estimation, do
more to protect the interests of !
the government than to spread
your energies over wider and
less successful field.
81 would be glad to confer with
you, the chief of field service, and
the assistant attorney general re-
specting this matter at yogx
earliest convenience.
Very respectfully,

SHOT HIM BECAUSE
HE ASKED ME- To
(By united Press Leased Wire. ]

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Is
81 shot him because he asked me
to-" declared Archie Reimers,
who is under arrest today pend
ing the outcome of a bullet wound
he made in Harry Gottung's ne3x.
"Y'isee, it was this way" said
Reimers. "Gottung was making
dummy for valentines night.
He was going to make one arm
longer than the other but when
he got the wood sawed he found
that he had 'em both the same
length. Then he said:
Archie, I'm a fool, I ought
to be shot He kept repeating
that so often that 1 thought I'd
help him out. So 1 went up
stairs, got my gun and came back
to where he was working.
ut seemed to prey on his mind,
so when he again said. I'm a
fool; I ought to be shot 1 let
him have it."
The bullet struck Gottung IN
the neck and inflicted probably a
fatal wound. Gottung was in
duced to make an ante-morteln
statement but refused to implica,e
Reimers other than to say the
shooting occurred i'm a friendly
scuffle. On this. statement REIN
ers was released, but his own
story caused his re-arrest pending
the outcome of Gottung's injury.

1t took about five days for the
letter to reach Ballinger.

he heard Claimant Moore's ap-

posed nerve in an aching tooth.

But Ballinger did more than to
try to find out what CLAWS was
doing.
He proceeded Immediately to

WITH CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The sign
ed contract of John Beall, last
year with the Los Angeles team of
the Pacific Coast league, is at
White Sox headquarters today.
Beall was given a try-out last
season by the Sox, but was not
deemed strong enough for the
Comiskey aggregation of base ball
talent.
Beall's batting percentage of
.289 for the long season on the
coast, however, caused Comiskey
to seek out the player, and he
probably will be a fixture on the
Chicago Americans.
