FIRST SCANDAL
IN WILSON CAMP
New Attorney General Has Created it
BY HE Orders In the san Fran
cisco White Slave
Case.
KAHN WANTS A PROBE
Resignation Of McNab and His
Charges Have Stirred up Great
Kettle Of

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service /
WASHINGTON, June 26- Because
Of a lack Of a quorum the house
judicial committee today postponed
until tomorrow. action on the Kahn
resolution requiring submission to
the house OF all papers bearing on the
delay OF federal prosecutions at San
Francisco which resulted In District
Attorney McNab's resignation. The
committee could not get a quorum.
1t was regarded as certain the COM
mittee would favorably report the
measure. Representative Kahn scath-
ingly denounced Attorney General
McReynolds for his course in the
matter. He insisted that Secretary OF
Labor Wilson legislation was not sat
isfactory and commended McNab's at
titude.
Only six democrats and one republi-
can were present at the meeting.
Chairman Clayton said that special
effort would be made to have every
member on hand for the meeting to-
morrow which would be an executive
session. Committeeman denied that
members purposely remained away
from the meeting today In order to
delay action, 1t being pointed out that

such resolutions and was inadvert-

liver up the documents.
The qualifying phrase In the in.
strnctions was inserted SO that the
government would not be forced to
make public all of the evidence on
which 1t will base its demands for
sentences against Caminetti and
Diggs, alleged white slavers, and the
Western Fuel company.
Representative Kahn devoted mos,
OF his statement in support of the
resolution to the Caminetti- -Diggs case
United States Attorney McNab, he
said, claims that on several occasions
he called the attention Of the attor
new general to the fact that his wit
netses in both the white slave and
Western Fuel cases were being tam
rered with and that efforts were be
ing made to have the trial postponed

McNab openly boasted that the pres

used to subvert justice. One of the
attorneys of Caminetti had been in

this indicates that an effort was be

The anglers caught a fine mess of
trout and only used half of them for
the evening meal Just before they
went to sleep they heard a noise on
the rock above them. and an investi-
CATION revealed a big wildcat Sinking
off in the moonlight.
Fearful that the animal would come
back after the trout they hung them
on two upright poles in the ground.
About midnight they were awakened
by the roaring Of a mountain lion
that seemed to be almost on top of
them. One of the men was brave
enough to move toward the sound,
but the fierce roaring of the lion
scared him away. In the morning
when they went to look for their
breakfast of trout they found it gone.

Thirty years ago farmers were pre-

exhaustive crop and that it ruined

PiG-EATinG HABIT
ONLY IN OLD SOWS
Characteristic Never Laid at
Door of Young Mother Rem

1t is a well known fact that the pig
eating propensity is an attribute of an
old SOW; the characteristic is never
laid at the door of the young mother.
If not the old it is the mature bred
SOW; she with the second or third lit
ter, and 1t will be found that she is
usually OF the slow, sluggish DISPOSE

An argument put forth is that this
is the failing of the domesticated. but
uncivilized hog alone. Under natural
conditions the mother will sacrifice
her own life for that of her young. but
the reverse has never been heard Of
Why. then, with this fact should we
be led to believe we feed our hogs
too much; that the cure is more ami
NAL food and protein? Why cultivate
a taste for meat?
Which SOW is 1t that most needs
protein? Is 1t the gilt that must grow
both her own frame and her litter. or
is it the mature SOW that has only
her litter?
1t is a known fact that on stock
farms where as many as fifty or more
brood sows are kept they and their
progeny run after the cattle.
The only feed of these sows may be
