Memorial Planned
for Illinois Doctor

St. Louis, Mo-, May 22.-Phy-
sicians here arc considering estab-
lishment of a permanent memorial
10 Dr.. Heber Robarts Of Bellevillc,
ILL.,, who died from N-ray burns sus->
tanned during experiments with ra-
dloaetive substances.
DR.. Roberts began experimenting
with X-ray 20 years ago and con-
tinued his researches, although the
loss Of four fingers, ere by one,
warned him Of the approaching dan
ger Of death through his work. Weeks
before his demise he realized he
could not survive the ravages done
&c his system by the burns.
SuAlmoning his physician friends:
he submitted TO them a diagnosis OF
his own case. This was after nc had
visited sanitariums at Baltimore and
Washington and had been treated ac-
cordinc TO his own formula for re-
lief Of such cases.
Recognized as an authority in
X-ray treatment, DR.. Robarts deter
mined to take charge of his own
cure. But the malignant burns had
spread too far, and despite applica-
tions of radium, Of which he pos
sessed a large store, he could not
stop the spread of the deadly toxins
to his chest.
Post-mortem examination of the
body confirmed the specialists dag
nosis of his own case.

Then she remarked that people

taxes don't go too high and the local
bosses don't get too rich, we shrug

Mexico Seeks
American Aid
to Refund Debt
No Backing to Be Given Until
Obregon Government Rec.
ognizes Valid Titles
Of Property.
BY GEORGE F. AUTHIER.
Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee.


Washington, May 22.-(Special.) J
The arguments which Secretary Of
State Hughes applies to Russia are
equally applicable to Mexico. In
fact, in shaping its policy towards
Russia, the State department has
Mexico in mind. Secretary Of State
Hughes points out that any rehabili-
tation of Russia must come about
through the use of private capital.
He adds that private capital will not
invest in Russia until it is convinced
it will be safe. That safety demands
government that will offer suf-
fcient guarantees for life and prop
erty and will place stress on the
sanctity of contracts.
Exactly the same situation exists
in Mexico. There the Obregon gov
ernment refuses to eliminate the OBJ
noxious article 81 of its constitution,
under which confscatory power is
alleged. Neither will the Obregon
government agree to nullify it by a
treaty agreement. Accordingly, the
State department holds there can be
no recognition of Mexico until it
recognizes the sanctity of contracts.
Secretary Of the Treasury Adolfo
de la Huerta is on his way from
Mexico to the United States 10 con
suit with New York bankers con-
corning the refunding of the Mexi-
can debt. He will be told the New
York bankers will be glad to take
over the Mexican debt, provided
they can be assured of government
backing. This backing will not be
forthcoming until the Obregon gov
ernment has undertaken to recognize
valid titles, not only OF oil proper
ties, but of all American-owned
property.
Every gesture made by Secretary
of State Hughes towards soviet
Russia has Mexico in mind.

Attack on

Is Renewed
Senator Carawsy Places Let.
ters in Record Alleged to
Show Interest in Re.
: lease Of Shipbuilder.
Says Confidence Broken

Washington. May 2j.-Renewing
his attack on Attorney General
Daugheriy in the senate today. Sen.
a,or Caraway. democrat. Arkansas,
placed 10 the Congressional Record
alleged copies OF two more letters
purporting 10 show that Mr.. Daugh-
eriy was directly interested in oh
tanning the release from the Atlanta
peni,eniiafy oi Charles ". Morse.
the sbipbuilder.
The letters, published today in a
local paper. the senator said, showed
that Mr.. Daugherty was engaged
as counsel IN the case because he
had the confidence OF former Prcsi.
dent Taft. who eommu,ed Mr..
Morse's l5-ycar sentence. and
charged that MIR. Daughcriy had
abused Mr.. Tait's confidence.
One OF the letters purpor,ed TO be
from Thomas {. Fielder, New York
attorney, alleged to have been asso-
clated with Mr.. Daugheriy in the
Morse pardon case. The other. al
legged to have been written by Frank
J.. Seeley, editor OF the Atlantic,
Georgian. to Mr.. Fielder. said that
Mr.. Morse owed his liberty and his
life TO yours and Mr.. Daughcrty's
efforts Both letters bore 1917
dates.
Prevented Rectification.
Commenting OH statements in the
letters that Mr.. Fielder and the pres
cnt attorney general took steps to
prevent revocation OF Mr.. Morse
release when il was charged that
fraud had been practiced upon Pres
ident Taft, Senator Caraway as
serted that Mr.. Fielder and Mr..
Daugherty, if not cognizant OF the
original fraud, prevented rectifica-
ton.
IF they we're not party to the
frand in its original preparation"
said Senator Caraway, "they be-
came accomplices after the fact"
Senator Moses, republican. New
Hampshire, when Senator Caraway
had finished. answered that "the
whole performance" in connection
with discussion of the Morse case
was smoke screen to hide demo-
cratic cabinet officers who served
under the last administration. The
Morse and Bosch Magnetic cases,
now before the department of JUS
tice, the New Hampshire senator
said, promised to seriously en-
barass former attorney general and
former secretary Of the treasury"
The evidence submitted in the
Morse case, If placed before jury,
Senator Caraway declared, would
convict both Mr.. Daueherty and
Mr.. Fielder of fraud.
Engaged by Editor.
The letter by Mr.. Fielder, purport-
ing to have been written to Leon 0.
Bailey, New York, detailed connec-
tions. said that Mr.. Fielder was en-
gagged by Mr.. Seely, the Atlanta cdi-
tor, and that Mr.. Fielder arranged
to renew Mr.. Morse's communication
plea just before expiration of Mr..
Taft's term.
The letter said that Mr.. Fielder
and Mr.. Daugherty was informed
by Dr.. A. l.. Fowler, prison physi-
clan, that Mr.. Morse appeared to
have Brights disease.
The Secly letter was largely
summary of the events leading to
the alleged retention OF Fielder as
counsel for Morse. Felder's name,
the letter said, was suggested to
Morse by Scely after the banker
convict had tried every possible
avenue of relief" Reference was
made 10 the writer's keen disappoint-
mcnt because of Morsc's failure to
pay the fees agreed upon.
