BURKHART TO BE
CONFIRMED IN
SPITE OF FALL

Washington, Aug. 5.--The senate jul
dietary committee voted yesterday
afternoon to report favorably the nom
nation OF Summers Burkhart OF Al
buquerque, for United States district
attorney for New Mexico.
This action was taken in the face
of a protest filed by Senator Albert
b. Fall against Mr. Burkharts confir-
nation in which he said his opposi-
ton was based on three grounds: Mr.
Burkhart had used violent language
when it was reported that Mr. Fall
had abandoned the Democratic party
and joined the Republicans Mr. Burk-
hart had given an opinion, as attorney
for the governor of New Mexico, hold
ing that Mr. Falls first election as
senator for the regular term was not
legal, thereby making it necessary for
Mr.. Fall to secure another election,
and that Mr.. Burkhart was personally
obnoxious to the New Mexico senator.
1t is understood that many of the
leading Republicans of the state have
asked Senator Fall to
withdraw his protest, and it is said
that he may do so before the matter
is acted on by the senate in executive
session

Court before Judge Van Fleet with
q formal statement of the case by the

TO ALLOW "a change of Venue to Sacra-

Matt I. Sullivan, chief special prose-
cutor told the twelve veniremen seat
ed in the jury box that the govern
ment would show that Maury Diggs
and F. Drew Caminetti bought trans
Iortation for Marsha Warrington and
Lola Norris from Sacramento to Reno.
and that the two girls were taken
tc Reno. where all four were later ar
rested, for immoral purposes and that
these facts when proved, would estab-
,ish violation of the federal statute
whereby congress made it a felony to
transport women from one state to
another for immoral purposes.
Another indictment charged Diggs
and his Sacramento attorney. Chas.
b. Harris, with conspiracy to suborn
perjury in preparing his defense to
the charge of wife abandonment, on
which both Diggs and Caminetti were
brought back to Sacramento from
Reno.
