Wealth No Bar to
u. S. Prisons Now

(By Congressman Clyde II. Tavenner)
Washington, Oct 9.-Being rich
and having powerful friends is not a
qualification for a pardon with Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson. The times
have changed for the wealthy male
factors who skate too close to the thin
edge of the law and fall into its
clutches. This is eXemplified by the
recent action of the president in re-
fusing pardons for Charles A. Hous-
ton and John H. Bullock, who We're
convicted for defrauding the govern
ment in Alaska.
During the Taft administration the
qualification of wealth usually made
it easy for a criminal to escape the
federal penitentiary. The Standard
Oil officials indicted in Texas were
pardoned. Heike and Gerbracht, the

PRESIDENT APPLIES PRESSURE
TOWARD QUICK ACTION

Washington, Oct. 9.-The admin
istration currency bill and President
Wilson's announced determination to
write it into law before December
yesterday became the storm center Of
legislative activity.
President Pro Tenn Clarke of the
senate, Majority Leader Kern, Demo-
cratic Whip Lewis, Chairman Owen
of the banking and currency commit
tee and Senator Ollie James of Ken
lucky were called to the White House
to discuss the situation. After the
conference, it became apparent that
measures were to be taken to get the
Democrats of the senate behind the
currency bill as party measure. The
White House took the attitude that
the Democratic majority should at
once take steps to demonstrate its
responsibility for the legislation.
1t was indicated that one method
which might be pursued was to with
draw the bill from the consideration
of the full committee, where it now
is tied up, and turn it over to the COM
mittee Democrats, as was done in the
house.
Majority Leader Kern said that if
it became apparent that the bill was
being delayed, the Democrats, in or
der to assume their responsibility for
the legislature, would call a caucus.
Senator Owen also took the position
that the measure should be made a
party matter. The days develop
ments showed no change in the atti-
tude Of Senators Reed and Hitchcock,
the Democratic members of the COM
mittee, who have contended for full
consideration and opportunity to
amend the bill.
The committee heard Charles n.
Fowler, former member of the house
and former chairman of the banking
and currency committee. He attacked
the bill, declaring it would create a
currency which was mot adapted to
the needs of the country" and if

sugar trust officials, received pardons
and never saw the penitentiary after
conviction on criminal charges, c. M.
Hyde, convicted of land frauds in
South Dakota, was pardoned, and
Banker Charles Morse received the
Taft clemency that allowed him to get
back into the Wall street game.
But Houston and Bullock seem to
be headed straight for a federal
prison unless the upper courts reverse
their conviction. Their highly or
ganized campaign which was expected
to result in a pardon from President
Wilson has failed in spite of the ef-
forts of powerful politicians in
Washington to put it through. For
time success seemed to be on the way,
for the influences behind the men
succeeded in getting consideration of
the application for a pardon by the
department of justice while their
cases were still pending in court,
proceeding which is forbidden by the
rules of the department of justice.
The case went up to President Wilson
for action, and he promptly vetoed
any recommendations for clemency,
giving the convicted men to under
stand that their cases must take their
course through the courts.
Houston and Bullock were indicted
for conspiring with others to act in
collusion when bidding TO supply coal
to government stations in Alaska. AS
a result of this alleged collusion, the
government paid $27 per ton for coal,
while it was selling in the Nome,
Alaska, market for SIG a ton. The
men are alleged to have made for
tunes out of these contracts. Yet,
after conviction in the lower courts,
they pleaded poverty for inability to
carry their cases higher, and on this
plea submitted their applications for
pdIuOu. AS d uldCIer Ol ldCI, Inelr
cases were appealed, and the ex-
pensive part of perfecting the ap-
peals was concluded before resident
Wilson got the case, He refused to
interfere with the progress of justice,

Judge Refuses to
Hear Petitioners

CaIexico Chronicle: E. H. Rock
wood, G.. H. i+1ockman and Edward
Dool, a majority of the board of di-
rectors of Water Co. No 6, met in Los
! Angeles Thursday for the purpose Of
getting hearing with Judge Conrey
to give him the water company's
views upon matters relating to Recei-
yer Holabird and his failure to deliver
sufficient quantity of water to the
ranchers of No. 6 this past year.
Their first step was the employment
of Attorney Meserve to act as their
counsel in this matter and to look
after the water company's interests in
other matters as they may come up
from time to time in Los Angeles.
When they called upon Judge Con-
| rey ins his chambers they were re-
fused an audience, though their at
| torney was allowed to talk with the
judge. 1t was learned by the direct
ors that the Judge will refuse to coun-
tenance any attempt to reach him
ether than through the usual chan
nels of first comforting with the re-
ceiver. The judge stated that he had
| the utmost confidence in the receiver,
his ability as an executive, his hon
esty, and his manner of conducting
the receivership. Judge Conrey's at
titude was disappointment to the
men who wished to state their case ~
him, though they were not surprised
as they had an intimation of his prob
able actions when they attempted to
confer with him.
Water Company No. in company
with Nos. s and II, have suffered con-
siderably the past year because Of
the lack of sufficient water to proper
ly handle their crops, and they al
lege that the reason is because the
receiver in his efforts to manage the
affairs of the company economically
has been too saving and has allowed
certain canals, the Encina, in partic-
ular, to become silted up so as 70
become incapable of carrying sufficient
water to supply the ranchers with all
needed for growing crops. They had
hoped to be able to talk with the
judge in order that he might fully un-
derstand their side of the case and
feel that when he refused to admit
them to his chambers and so leacn
of their complaints that he showed a
failure to grasp the situation and to
/ do all that he might to relieve condl-
tions which it is claimed could be cas-
lily relieved.

Hunting Regulations

(By United Press Association

By United Press Association)
Washington, Oct. 9.-Migratory
birds have come into their own, for
Uncle Sam has put into effect a set
of uniform federal laws protecting
the many species of the feathered
tribe which threaten to become extinct
through the ravages of the nimrods.
Congress passed a law last March
authorizing the department of agri-
culture to adopt regulations and fix
a closed season for certain species Of
birds needing federal protection.
These regulations were duly drafted
Effective this month the regulations
are briefly as follows:
Trap shooting prohibited; shooting
between sunset and sunrise punish
able by heavy fines; suspension Of
hunting indefinitely on the Ohio, Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers; allowing
waterfowl safe highway from their
winter feeding grounds in the lower
Mississippi valley to their nesting
grounds in the Dskotas and Mime
sofa; limiting hunting seasons to 4
maximum Of three and one-haR
months IN the several states; seasons
being according to latitude and times
OF migration; providing separate sea.
sons for waterfowl rail, shorebirds
and woodcock, complete protection fo-
hve years for the smaller shore Bird
and other species which have become
greatly reduced in numbers.
The new law also protects the robin
the lark and other birds in the few
states where they suffer from an
open season.
