OBJECT TO GASOLINE BATHS
Mexicans Not Fond Of Treatment But
Are Forced to Submit to 1t by
Uncle Sans Army Sanitarians.

How Uncle Sans soldiers connected
with General Pershing's expedition in
Mexico have been protected from dis
ease and discomfort by forcing Mexi-
can laborers with whom they are
forced to come into contact to take
gasoline baths is told by a civilian
physician who made q trip from the
border to General Pershing's head
quarters in a touring car bearing two
officers in charge of a motor truck
caravan transporting supplies TO Per-
shings men.
The military road, which has been
built since the American troops went
in, is in many places almost i1npas-
sable. In order to get over the bad
places two of the % trucks were filed
with Mexican laborers hired by the
United States government to help
stalled trucks out of trouble. They,
of course, came in contact with the
| Americans who operated the trucks,
and it was necessary for the army
surgeons to make sure that they were
in good health. They were typical
Mexican la5OrerS and, therefore, none
/ too clean. The army sanitarians also
had reason to believe that some of

that might disturb the peace of their
slumber. Accordingly, before the la
borers were finally accepted, they
| were vaccinated against smallpox and
inoculated with typhoid fever pre-
ventive. This. of course, they did not
like. And after they had been con-
WINGED of necessity of protection from
sickness the subject of insects was
preached. The sanitarians had decid-
ed that the only safe course was to
battle each Mexican in gasoline. This
order the laborers naturally resented,
but no time was to be lost in argu-
/ ment, and they were won over by
short but effective means. One by
one they were stripped, and both they

his records and others followed suit.
So was an era of fair dealing inaugu.
rated.
This all happened years ago. The
fidelity with which the special agent
laid the basis of his deception is prov
ed by the fact that many of these
manufacturers are now getting their
pulp from the Canadian northwest.
The name of Gard does not, however,
appear among the list of officers Of
any of the companies supplying pulp.
The young man is probably now off on
the trail of some other real or sus-
pected violators of the federal statutes,
meeting new emergencies, gaining new
experiences, playing modest but not
unimportant part in the big and vital
affairs of the nation.

TVS jewels or stole me che-ild," the
new detective unravels the mysteries
and seeks to determine the manner
in which fifty big factories, with 100,-
600 men on their pay rolls, combine to
stifle the small competitor who would
enter their field.
1t was such an assignment as this
that one morning came over to New
York in the mail from Washington
and fell to the lot OF Special Agent
Billy Gard. The instructions said:
THE Northern Pulp & Paper Manu-
facturers' association will hold its con-
vention at the Waldorf on the 18th,
Goth, 21st and ed. 1t is suspected
of being conspiracy in restraint of
trade. Its deliberations are in secret
and the membership is unknown. As
certain all action of the convention
and procure a list OF the members of
the association"
This action on the part Of the gov
eminent was occasioned by complaints
from publishers of newspapers
throughout the country which seemed
to indicate that there was an under
standing among manufacturers as to
prices that should be charged for
white paper. II there was such an
agreement that prevented competition,
it was probably reached through some
association of which all were mem
bers. There was the Northern Pulp
& Paper Manufacturers association.
It's deliberations and its membership
were secret. This fact put it under
suspicion. Was it fixing prices?
To answer this question, Special
Agent Billy Gard went on his vain
glorious debauch of assuming an i'm
portance that was not his due. He
unleashed that tendency that is within
us all and let it run riot to the limit.
But back of the descending there was
an object to be accomplished.
"You are President Van Dorm of the
association, believer" said Gard as he
presented himself to that individual

be opened. ''My name is William H

your meetings"

Mr.. Macy Exposes the
Mental Reservations

The open letter of the Warren
Brothers company, addressed to me,
which recently appeared in your paper,
is quite amusing to those familiar with
the paving business as it is conducted
in this territory, and with the methods
Of the Warren people. This letter is
signed by the Warren Brothers com
pany. 1t is a well known fact that the
Warren Brothers company are not now.
and never have been engaged in the
paving business 1t is only a holding
company which owns the patents and
machinery under and by means of
which Bitulithic pavement is laid.
Bitulithie pavement is always laid by
one or more of its numerous subsidiary
companies. All the Bitulithic in Salem
was laid by one of these. 1t was this
company | referred to and mentioned
in my former letter. The Warren
Brothers company is the parent organ
ization of the trust This company un-
doubtedly can hold up its clean hands
with show Of honest virtue and
truthfully say, "we have nothing to do
with the injunction suit, - and still it
would not be an answer to nor a
denial Of the truth of my former letter.
1t is a fact that McNary & McNary
are not appearing for Mr.. Fry Mr.,
Trindle represents him. McNary &
McNary are appearing for some un-
known client and are controlling the
proceedings. There is only one other
concern interested in the paving game
in Salem, and that is one of the
branches of the Bitulithic paving trust.
The Warren concern has kept and
maintained one of their representatives
in Salem almost constant ythis spring
since it became known that the city
was contemplating embarNng i'll the
paving business on its own account,
Titus endeavoring to carry out the
mandate of the people, and furnish
good pavement at one-half of the trust
prices, or less. This representative has
taken careful note of every move the
city has made. Has investigated the
specifications for the mixture and
noted the proceedings of the council.
We know that this party is not work
ing for the Warren company. They
are not in the paving business. He IS
however, working for one of the we'll
known subsidiary companies of the
Warren Brothers company.
