PAULS VALLEY
CASES BEFORE THE
j. 5. GRAND JURY
SOCIALIST SAID TO HAVE
SLANDERED RED CROSS
AND WAR WORKERS.

I. +. Weiss, special representa-
tive of the department OF justice,
and w. X. Hignight, deputy United
States marshal, spent a part OF last
week investigating several cases at
Pauls Valley, with the result that
a goodly number of witnesses will
be summoned from that place to ap-
pear before the FEDERAL grand jur%
called for tomorrow at McA'cster.
One of the cases is that of prom
incnt Socialist of that locality. This
man is reported to be wealthy, but
has done nothing to aid in the con-
duct of the war. He is alleged to
have made scurrilous remarks about
the women of the Red Cross and 10
have said that Liberty bonds and
war savings stamps are graft, and
that the soldiers going over the
country speaking in Red Cross, Lib
erty bond and war saving stamps
campaigns are all grafters. He is
said to have stated that 800 men have
made million dollars each out OF
war graft, and that the war is for
the benefit of the high collars.
1t is claimed he would buy no war
savings stamps or Liberty bonds,
and that he would not give any
thing to the Red Cross. He is as
serted to have said he knows his
rights and that no one could make
him do otherwise. that he has no
use for any of the outfit" except
President Wilson and that he was
for him because Woodrow Wilson
stands right on the Socialist plat
form"
Another case investigated there
was that of the driving of num-
her OF MexicanS out of Pauls Val
ley. 1t appears the Santa Fe Rail
way Company had employed a large
number OF Mexicans and taken
them to Pauls Valley, where they
we're working on the railroad. A
hue and cry was raised against them
and a number of the citizens, OBJ
jecting to their presence there, kept
up the agitation until the crowd
gathered grew into mob. in which
were included some of the officers
of the city, and the Mexicans were
