MATTHEY SOON

Davenport Physicians Case Ready
for Harding's Decision; Gets
Day In Prison.

Dr. Walter Matthey, Davenport
physician convicted for violation of
the espionage act, will learn his
fate within two days, according to
message from Washington. D. c.,
today.
Department of justice officials
have announced that his petition
for clemency is passable and will
be presented to President W. G.
Harding within a day or two. Rec
concentration of a sentence of one
day has been made by the pardon
division of the department of JUS
tice.
American legion officials fighting
every attempt to sidestep the SEN
tence, it is understood, have accept
ed the decision as vindication of
their claim that he violated the law
and should make some semblance,
at least of paying the penalty.

he says, they resisted his efforts to
Amertcanize them The trouble
started in clubhouse, where Men,
doza and an American were hold
ing classes for the benefit of the
Mexican men. Mendoza was chas-
ed from the house and fred upon.
according to the story gathered by
the police.
Last evening between s and I
O'Clock the wife OF Ben Quintana,
who conducts a store on Seven
teenth avenue, Silvis, was held up
by two Mexicans. The men believ-
ed that Mrs. Quintana had money.
They grabbed her about the throat
and demanded that she give them
money. She told them she had
none, and the men escaped by
jumping between two box cars.
Her screams attracted two other
residents of the Mexican colony,
but they failed TO find the bandits.
The men wore handkerchiefs over
their faces. Mrs. Quintana said she
was not hurt by the men. but she
was injured when she jumped over
the coupling between the two cars.
Whether the holdup had any
thing to do with the trouble of the
day before Is problematical. Sill
Wis officials see connection between
the two episodes.
