FEDERAL VOCATIONAL
BOARD ASKS INQUIRY


tBN MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WtsFI
Washington, March f2-The
federal board for vocational educa-
tion has asked for an investigation
of charges that it had instructed
its agents to be hard boiled" in
dealing with soldiers seeking edu-
cotional rehabilitation.
I Chairman Fess, of the house edu-
cauonal committee, announced to-
day that the inquiry would be
Started tomorrow night.
Charges that the board has neg
lected disabled soldiers and had
delayed their recollection as much
as a year were made in memo
randum presented to the commit
tee today by Harold LittledAle, a
New York reporter, who will be one
of the witnesses at the inquiry
Mr.. Littledale charged that while
the hoard had 209, 600 cases regis
tered with it last January II, nine
teen months after its creation, it
had placed in training only $4,000
men and had trained and placed in
employment only 217. He said the
men became so tired Of waiting
that 90 per cent Of all passed for
training did not take advantage of
it. Ten per cent of those who take
the training, he added, abandoned
it because the training is often a
pretense.'
Referring to the "hard boiled"
oder the memorandum said that
it appeared in a circular written in
the central office Of the board.

MOTION TO DISMISS
THE BLANCETT CASE
IS READY TO FILE
Especial Correspondence to The journal

Especial Correspondence to The Journal.)
Santa Fe, March 12.-Assistant
Attorney General H. S. Bowman
has prepared the motion to dismiss
and the brief in the case of Elberl
| w. Blancett, convicted and sent
enced to death for the murder of
| Clyde D. Armour, of Sioux City, I1,
near Santa Fe in the fall of 1916.
After Blancett's conviction and
sentence his attorney, A. b. Rene
han, appealed to the New MeXico
! supreme court and later TO the sU-
preme court Of the United States
The case is now pending before the
| latter body.
In the brief the assistant attor-
ney general begins as follows:
/ There are four assignments Of
error argued by plaintiff in error
in his brief upon which ne relies
for a reversal of the Judgment IN
! this case.
81. That the man who sat as
district judge in the trial of thIi
case was not a Judge in fact or i'm
law
80. That by reason of ALLEGED
demonstration upon the part of thu
! audience during the trial, that the
defendant did nor have fair and
impartial trial.
"9. That because of the separa-
| ton of one of the jurors from the
remainder Of the jury during tn
course of the trial, the defendant
( Co t..I
! trial.
! 81. That the defendant was not
tried by jury composed of the
constitutional number of jurors"
These four assignments of error
are denied specifically and at some
length in the brief with the cita-
lions of authorities. The gist of the
reasons for asking the supreme
court to dismiss the appeal is
found in the motion to dismiss. 1t
| follows:
"Now comes the defendant in
error, the state of New Mexico, by
its assistant attorney general, and
moves the court 10 dismiss the writ
OF error in the cause for want Of
jurisdiction.
81. The lack of jurisdiction au-
peariug from the printed tran
script Of record filed herein and
the brief Of the plaintiff in error
"2. For the reason that this
court has no jurisdiction herein be
cause the federal question herein
involving the status of the jude
who tried this case is raised for the
first time in this court, and that
the said federal question was moi
raised in the trial court nor on tn"
appeal to the supreme court Of the
state Of New Mexico, all OF which
appears ON the face of the tran
script Of record filed herein.
80. For the reason that it ~
manifest that the writ of error
herein was taken for delay only
and that the questions upon which
this cause depend are SO frivolous
as to need no further argument"
If the supreme court dismisseS
the appeal Blancett may be re
sentenced to hang within thirty
days. If the motion is denied ana
the case argued on its merits, de-
cision may be delayed for year.

INTENSIVE FISHING %
HAS ALMOST DEPLETED
THE SALMON INDUSTRY

lbf NOHNlFa JOUFheL SPkttPI LhbHED WlNhI
Olympia. Wash, March ~
Washington's salmon industry,
once among the leading in the
states activities, has been almost
depleted by the intensive fishing
of the past six years l.. Fl. Darwin,
state fish commissioner, declared in
his annual report filed with Gov
ernor Louis f. Hart. III.
Creation by the Legislature of 4
fisheries commission TO take full
charge Of fishing operations in
Washington waters was recon-
mended by Mr. Darwin.
He urged that foreigners be
barred from fishing in the state
waters, because, he said, the de-
struction, in a large part, has been
accomplished by persons not citi-
zens of the United States During
the war, he said, foreign fisher
men banded themselves together,
took the lead in the industry and
increased the prices
Sockeyed salmon runs of the
Puget Sound have almost been
wiped out by the heavy fishing,
and Chum or Dog salmon have also
been reduced in number. The
Humpback salmon runs probably
will be attacked by the fishermen
next and, in a few years, the com
missioner predicted they, too,
probably viii be depleted.
Columbia river Grays harbor
and Wallapa harbor waters of
Washington have not suffered to
the extent Of Puget Sound, Mr..
Darwin said, largely because of
the greatly increased hatchery
work. But as the fishermen are
beginning to take immature sal
mon and are preventing the fish
from reaching their spawning
grounds, it is probable these waters
viii suffer more soon.

To Be SERIOUS
Earl Curzon'S Speech On the
Turkish Situation Is In
terpreted to Mean That a
Crisis, Is Near.
py MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrsri

Icy MORNING IouRNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIREi
London, March IL (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )-Earl Curzon' S
speech on the Turkish problem
made in the house of lords yester-
day and other official and unoffi-
cial statements on the subject are
generally regarded as showing that
the Near East tangle is quite seri-
Gus. and is causing the authorities
some anXiety-an anxiety increased
by complications threatened in
connection with Syria and Mesopo-
tamia. The shadow of Indian and
Moslem opinion darkenss the prob
lem and, it is believed, influences
the councils of the allies more than
is always Immediately apparent.
The suggestion that the employ
ment of force against the Turks
might excite general hostility in
the mussulman world is regarded
as one that cannot safely be ig-
nored. In some quarters the feel
ing prevails that there is danger
if the Turks are pressed they may
Immediately be Joined by the Arabs.
The Italian view that it would be
dangerous to employ against the
Turks British Moslem and other
Moslem troops in the service of the
allies, is evidently based on these
fears.
Careful watch is being kept here
on the outcome of the syrian con-
gress at Damascus, and it is under
stood any decision or proposal by
the peace conference regarding
Syria would be purely tentative.
Among the days reports was one
that France had been given man
date over CECILIA. but this was UNI
confirmed. 1t is urged in some
quarters that Frances hands are
100 full to undertake this RESPONSE
bility. Great Britain is similarly
regarded ruled out as a man
datory for the same reason, and the
league of nations is locked to as
the only hope for protecting Tur-
keys non Moslem subjects.
