Would Put Whole
 Packing Industry :.
 Thru DelOuser

Washington, Mar. 3.--The "Big Five" group of meat packers were charged in testimony before the house agricultural committee today by J. H. Montgomery of Basis, Wyo. with having reduced live stock prod uction and driving growers out ot the business.
 The packers thrive on "injunc- tions," he asserted. "An injunction does not bother them any more than insect powder does cootie. The whole beef packing industry should be put through delousing station.'
 The lack of action by congress in passing legislation to control the packing industry and recent court decrees are causing loss of conf dence in both congress and the court the witness said.

Helme in Rugged
 Plea Declares
 He was Worked

Grand Rapids, Mich. March 3.-A day of argument in the Newberry elections conspiracy trial following discharge this morning of fifteen ad- ditional defendants and the dismiss sal of the fifth count in the indict- ment wound up with picturesque appeal for freedom from James F. Helme. who has been referred to in the trial as the Stalking horse" of the Newberry committee in the 1918 democratic primary, because he was listed as q candidate by republican endeavor in an effort to split the Ford vote. He maintained he could not be q | conspirator with Truman H. New berry of the latter's campaign com mittee, "because I never advocated his election"
 In rugged phrases that more than once upset the gravity of the court, Helme, maintained that it was no crime to be "worked" into or out of campaign. In this connection he cited a Missouri case in which one candidate was induced by $1,000. to withdraw by the candidate of another party.
 "The state supreme court held that this did not violate the corrupt prac- tice act of Missouri, but I do not maintain that they had much of an act" said Helme.
 Reduction of the number of de- | fendants to 85 was on the violation of Judge Clarence w. Sessions. In discharging the fifteen men he said he acted upon Every careful study of the record"
 Discharge of Samuel O'Dell, former state treasurer. removed one of the eovernment's links in the charges re- latino to the Helme candidacy O'Dells grand jury testimony showed l him as acknowledging that he sug- rested the Helme candidacy to Paul King, Newberry campaign manager and other testimony was that he had conference with Helme and urged him to run for the democratic nomi- | nation against Henry Ford

CARRANzE BL.UNT.y
 REFUSES ID PERMIT
 AMERICAN 70 ENTER
Man Who Testified Before Fall Committee Denied
 Rights
NOTE TO THE U. $.
 CHARGES PROPAGANDA
With Lansing Out of the Way Mexico Will Seek Permission to Buy Arms In
 T.. $.

Washington, Mar 3.--Blunt reiec- tion met the effort of the state de- partment to induce the Mexican gov ernment to permit Henry Torres, an American citizen, to re-enter Mexi- co after testifying before the sen ate committee on Mexican con ditions.
 Answering q note presented by Ge- orge Y. Summerlin, charge at the American embassy, Hiario Medina, sub secretary of foreign affairs, said that "in view of the antecedants" of Torres, his entry could not be per mitted. Medina also charged that Torres had conducted q propaganda against Mexico among persons at tending the sessions" tof the sub committee).
 The American request, according to unofficial text, laid stress on the fact that American citizens could not refuse to testify before the commit tee, under severe penalty.
 'ln view of these extenuating cir- cumstances" Mir. Summcrln's note added, 'and without denying the right of the Mexican government to refuse admittance to undesirable aliens, the department of state be- lieves that in these cases an excep- tion might be made which would not destroy the principles of interna- tional law"
 The Mexican reply dealt only with the specific case of Torres whose home is at Matamoros, Mex, and who was refused passport wise by the Mexican consul ut Eagle Pass, Tex, when he sought to go home after having testified.
 Mexican Answer. Permit me to point out to your excellency," the Mexican reply said, flying before the subcommittee of the United States senate stated that conditions prevailing at present in Mexico were chaotic, exhibiting as evidence as his assertion that the president of the republic, on the oc- casion of his visit to CuatrU Cienegas had been escorted by 1000 soldiers. Furthermore, the said Mir. Torres ex- pressed himself in harsh terms with |. regard to Article 27 of the consti- tuition stating it simply provided for confiscation or robbery. In general his statements were not only dero- gatory to Mexico and this govern ment, but were also sarcastic. Never theless, the said MT. Torres has not confined himself to his false state- ments with regard to Mexico, but he has been engaged in an active propa- ganda against Mexico among the per- sons attending the sessions, having furthermore offered in jocular tone to go to the Mexican consulate and advise himself as to whether the wise of his passport would be denied, con- fident that it would not be.
 "In view of the antecedents of MT. Henry Torres my government is. pained to advise your excellency that it cannot permit the entry into Mexi- l co of the gentlemen"
 Mexico is to be preparing demand permission to import arms and am- munition of war from the United States. Hilaro Medina, sub-secre. tary of foreign affairs, in state- ment which has been received to the state department ,has announced that as result of the retirement of Rob ert Lansing of secretary of state it is probable that the demand will be made.

DECLARES SOLDIERS BONUS WOULD BRING
 OPPRESSIVE TAXES
Tax Argument Used to Meet
 Appeals for
 Relief BLACKLIST THREAT MADE BY ORGANIZATION Representative of "Veterans of the Foreign Wars" However,
 Qualities His
 Statement

Washington, Mar. 3.-Appeals fol financial relief for former service men were countered today before the house ways and means committee by statements that any money grant necessitating a further bond issue would be an additional burden on taxpayers.
 Representative Hill, democrat, of Tennessee, said 100000 increas- ed taxes must be raised to meet present war expenditures without granting a cent to the service men.
 "With bonus we would be forced to establish the most oppressive sys- tenn of taxation in the world," he said
 "Members of the congress will be blacklisted if they oppose additional soldier legislation" Edward H. Hale of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, an organiza- tion of 750,OOO men, told the com- mittee in reply to a question by Rep resentative Rainey, republican, of Illinois. A discharged officer had written the committee the attitude on soldier legislation will be closely scrutinized and the soldier vote will be mobilized before the next cleo tion"
 "Does this forecast blacklist by soldiers similar to the blacklist of the American Federation of Labor. because members oppose their de- sires?" Rainey asked, and Hale re- piled in the negative.
 "Should all demands of all classes of citizens for government assist ance be met,"' Rainey said, Com munism and bolshevism would be the inevitable result"
 Representative Gardner, democrat. of Texas said bond issue in the immediate future would decrease 10 per cent the marked value of present government obligations.
 "This alone would result in an ac- tual loss of S2 O.OOO,OOO in the value of property held by millions of peo- ple," he said.
 MT. Hale said that approximately three fourths of the service men needed "help to start them out in civilian life"
 A tax on all purchases, instead of bond issue was urged by J. H. Halper of Minneapolis, representing the World War Veterans.
