GOVERNMENTS SIDE
 OF HAMBURG CASE
 HAS BEEN SET FORTH
(Continued from Page One)

at one time German minister to Mexico and later German consul general here, is elderly, in poor health and the court ses- sions have been shortened on several oc- casions during the trial so that he might not be unduly fatigued.
 A dramatic touch was given tOday's pro- ceedings by the demand of the defense that the government assert whether it considered Captain Karl Boy-Ed, German naval attache. 8 conspirator in the case with the defend9nts. Captain Boy-Ed. one witness testified earlier in the trial, di- rected the expenditure of s750,000 alleged to have been spent in outfitting relief ships for German cruisers in the Pa cific as well as the Atlantic. The govern ment did not reply directly to the ques- tion nor did the court, to whom it was re- iterated press for an answer.
 ''The government has taken no position in that natter" said Roger B. Wood, as sistant United States attorney. "AF that the government has wanted to do is to sub init all the facts in the case bearing on this indictment. IL has been done with out any attempt to bring anybody's name in that did not have to be brought in.

eral Townshend, according to the first account of the battle, commanded only one British division, but he probably will be better supplied with guns than his op- porents as long as he keeps near the river and has the assistance of armed steamers and tugs, which have been con- verted into floating forts. He probably is receiving endorsements which will enable him shortly to resume his advance or Bagdad.
 As the season advances progress is ex- pected to become less difficult. Hereto fore the British force has had to contend with the intense heat and lack of water but the rivers are rising and there soon should be plenty of water

A well-balanced bill is the offering al the Lyric for the first half of the week and was well received by the capacity audience last night The entire bill Is good and sufficiently varied to make it thoroughly enjoyable.
 The headline honors are shared by Henry Lewis, "a vaudeville cocktail, and the Six Little Songbirds. Lewis was the laughing hit of the bill. Mint and Wertz in burlesque acrobatics were good open ers Mckay and Ardine, in a singing and dancing number, were very pleas ing.
 The Six Little Songbirds a juvenile sex tet, in a singing, dancing and piano spe- cialty, presented one of the classiest numbers that has appeared on the lcca stage. The youngsters showed much tai ont and put their number over in great style.
 Henry Lewis started quietly, but ended in riot. He was entirely original ant versatile to 0 degree. There was no a dull moment while he was on the stags and a generous hand was given him al the close.

GOVERNORS STATEMENT

About two years ago prominent cltl- zens of, Jefferson parish brought before me charges that gambling was being per- mitted in the parish without action be- ing taken by the authorities. I wrote to Sheriff Marrero, called his attention to the alleged law violations and asked an investigation. He raided one place in Southport, and it was closed. Later l heard the place was in operation. lot of names of persons connected with the place was put in my hands, and I wrote the sheriff, sending him the names and also wrote his son. the district attor- ney. The result was a grand jury in- vestigation, in which no indictments were returned, but instead the grand jury criticized me for causing an investiga- tion.
 I continued to receive complaints that the Southport gambling establishment still was in operation openly and as the parish authority practically refused to take action, I ordered, last August, that the place be raided by a detachment of state militia, with the result that about 100 alleged operators, employees and patrons of the establishment were ar rested while the place was in operation and a large amount of gambling para phernalia was confiscated.
 Thirteen of the men arrested in this raid. who were selected to be tried re- gently, were acquitted by a Jefferson parish jury, on the grounds that suf- ficient evidence was not presented to convict.
 About week before the raid spe- cial officer of the Gretna police force, while attempting to enforce the Sunday closing law, was shot and killed by a Gretna saloonkeeper in his barroom and the Gretna chief of police at the same time shot and wounded the policeman's slayer. The parish grand jury indicted the saloonkeerer for manslaughter and the Gretna chief of police was indicted for shooting with intent to kill and re- gently was convicted on that charge.
 Last Saturday, after I had continued to receive reports of further law vio- lations in the narish, I ordered de- tachment of militia to raid an alleged lottery st.op and 65 suspected proprietors employees and ratrons were arrested ano more gambling paraphernalia captured The situation ir the parish has come to the point where 1t Is a question whether the law or whether thugs and gamblers shall be supreme. I am determined tha, the law shall be enforced. and to that end the militia WI be employed if this is found necessary"

which is said to have developed consid- crable bitterness. Since then evidence of friction in the administration of the laws have come to light between parish au. thorities and those of Gretna and state officials Several clashes were recorded between the Gretna police and deputies of Sheriff l.. H. Marrero, Sr., who is declared to be a strong political factor in Jefferson parish. The sheriff's son, l.. Ii. Marrero, Jr., is the Jefferson district attorney. Politics is said to have played an important part in the troubles in the parish.

REPORTS FAVORABlY
ON EASTERN NEVADA
Grand Master Mack Of Independent
Order Of Odd Fellows Finds
Lodges In Good Shape

White Pine. Elko and Lander coun-
ties are at the present time enjoying
an era Of prosperity that is remarkable
and conditions there are better now
and more promising than they have
been In many years." said Attorney C.
E. Mack of the law Arm OF Mack and
Green who returned yesterday from a
trip to the eastern part Of the state,
made In his capacity Of grand master
OF the grand lodge Of the Independent
Order Of Odd Fellows.
A Great Proposition.
Il spent some time in the Ely dis
trict and visited the mines and reduc.
ton plant Of the Guggenheims. This
company Is taking out OF two cuts in
which they + operating 10000 tons
OF ore daily. This ore only contains
IL per cent copper. Yet this company
Is reducing the ore and paying four
dividends a year on q capitalization Of
] I,000,000 The reduction plant cost
100000 and $3.50 {, 900 worth Of
ore has been taken out. The company
now Ia using what Is known as the
fotation process Of reduction. In this
process oil is used. The right to use
the process Is the subject of a suit
which has been pending in the United
States supreme court for some time.
Litigation Settled.
THE Guggenheim copper pits, the
method in which the ore is removed
and the marvellous reduction plant
they are operating l think combine to
make N of the biggest propositions l
have yer seen. They are teaching
the world how to reduce low grade
copper ore.
when I left Ely it was reported
that the Girouv and C~oppermines COM
panies had settled their differences
and were preparing to erect a concen
traitor and reduction plant two and
one-half miles north Of Ely and on the
west side Of the valley. They intend
to get their water from Ely and their
employees will reside at Ely and East
Ely, thus increasing the population Of
those towns three-fold. The property
owned by these companies is consider
ed as good as that Of the Guggen-
helms. The plant they intend to build
is about the size of that of the Gug.
genheims.
Activity at Elko
"At Elko there is unusual activity
and 1t impressed me as being one OF
the best cities in the state. 1t is the
center Of what is one of the richest
sections In the west and has a great
future in store.
Battle Mountain Is destined to be
heard from in the near future as Ian
der county mines are coming to the
front every day. A short time ago
the first tin mine in Nevada was dis
covered. Both placer tin and tin In

SIR HENRY CALLED DOWN
Executive Of South Australia Criti-
cised for Suggesting Country
Should Be Kept White.
PRIME MINISTER TAKES A HAND

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
MELBOURNE. Australia. April 2-The
subject OF White Australia and the
question OF admitting Asiatic immigrants
recently was discussed publicly by one
OF the state governors in the common
wealth. with the immediate result that
he was officially asked for an explana-
ton. and he expressed his regret that he
had said anything at all on that head.
The executive who spoke his mind was
Sir Henry Galway Of South Australia, and
II was the prime minister Of the com
monwealth. Andrew Fisher who called
him to account
Sir Henry was speaking at a luncheon
at IN agricultural fair in South Australia
and he devoted part Of his speech to the
northern territory. the huge area in the
upper part of Australia which is under
federal control through the medium Of
an administrator. 1t Is a much debated
question how the territory Is TO be set
tied for the development Il needs Sir
Henry said among other things:
Looking generally at the future Of
this vast continent am inclined to think
that the hardest nut the federal govern
ment has 20 crack is the development Of
the northern territory. How that terri
tory il going to be developed by white
labor alone for one am unable TO con-
ceive.
BY all means have a White Australia. >
II under that principle you can develop
the country. II otherwise, II would be a
thousand pitics 20 allow what Is I'M
doubtedly splendid country TO remain
undeveloped purely on account Of a
White Australia policy.
Looking at the splendid services being
rendered to the empire by our Indian
troops and by our japanese allies I am
one Of those who think that the feelings
OF Australians on the color question will
undergo considerable--or should I saw
a softening-change when the war is
over"
The day following this comment Mr.
Fisher said that IL Sir Henry had been
correctly quoted his words constituted "a
grave official indiscretion." which could
not be allowed 20 pass without protest.
Thereupon he telcgraphed to the premier
OF South Australia asking him to ascer-
tain whether the governor had said what
had been imputed TO him
Sir Henry replied to the premier that
inc newspaper reports of his speech Uere
correct; that II would have been wiser
II he had not touched upon the color
question and that he was sorry he had
done so. This closed the incident
