Three Years
For White
SLAYER

PORTLAND, Dec. 3. - Roy
Gooding, white SLAYER, was sen
fenced to three years at Mcneil 5
island by Judge Bean, in the Unit
ed States district court Monday.
Gooding had been a keeper Of
houses of questionable character
in Portland and Seattle, but his
conviction in the federal court
was for having brought Alma
Green from Seattle to Portland
for immoral purposes.
In pronouncing sentence, Judge
bean said that Gooding's case was
clearly one of the kind congress
had In mind when 1t passed the
Mann white slave act.
Gooding and Fred Brantner,
who is under sentence of Is
months for selling fraudulent land
locations, will be taken to Me
Neil's island by Deputy United
States Marshal MacSwain today.

public opinion is making itself
felt in favor Of commission of
experts to investigate the needs
of the American farmer for per-
sonal credit rather than land
mortgage banks.
At the conference in Washing
