Mr.. Baird has no personal griev-
ance and says that his relations with
the democratic party have not been
unpleasant but he rightly regards a
political organization as an associa-
ton OF persons who have similar
views which they desire to carry
out for the public welfare and as
the democratic party is dominated
by a spirit that is hostile to the west
he cannot consistently remain with it.

Some rich gold veins have re-
Gently been discovered near Atlantic
city. over on the Sweetwater. One
20 inch vein was struck about two
weeks ago which by actual assay
goes $23,40O to the ton. 1t is con
sidered the richest strike made in
this section Of the county for over
a score of years. A gentleman from
Colorado, says the Lander Clipper,
who happened to be on hand at the
time of the discovery offered $4,000
for the property and the young men
who W it at once bonded the vein
for thirty days for that amount. The
gentleman almost on the instant
started ON his horse for Colorado to
get the money. 1t is stated the facts
very c~onservatively to say that the
discovery is a most marvellous one,
and one that will attract a vast
amount Of attention.
In the July IS issue Of the Clipper
it says another rich gold strike was
made by VIM. Blake last week near
Lewiston a mile from the Sweet
water Mining Co.'S works. He struck
a vein two feet wide, some of the
ore from which is estimated to go
$4,000 to the ton. The depth Of
the vein Is of course unknown, but
every rich strike Of this sort shows
that there is plenty of the stuff about
here.

DAUGHERTY AIDE. URGES CLEAN UP
 IN JUSTICE BODY
Grim Would Remove The Whole Department
 From Politics

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Declar- ing that the investigation bureau of the department of justice is an iniquitous breeding ground of fraud and corrup- ton, John W. H. Grim, former assist ant Attorney General under Harry NJ Daugherty, urged before the Daugherty Investigating committee Thursday that the justice department be removed from politics.
 For three years Grim was in charge of all federal criminal prosecutions.
 The red menace" ballyhoo to which the country was subjected by the in- vestigating bureau was based on fancy, Grim told the committee.
 4s Mostly Talk
 There were detectives" he said, s'who would want you to believe that there was a red army marching on Washington, but found it mostly talk. There were a few isolated red ac- tivities but they were not considered serious"
 'The office of Attorney General should be removed from the cabinet to prevent political domination of the law enforcement machinery of the gov ernment," Grim declared.
 Patchwork of the department is de- ficient and politics is responsible, he said, and cited the record of the Chi cago district attorneys office, where, with 17 assistants but 9 cases were presented to a jury during 1922.
 "Nine-tenths of the employees of the investigation bureau should be dismiss ed and small, efficient force of train ed operatives substituted for thems' Grim said.
 As it now stands, Daugherty's for mer assistant told the senators, the department of justice is over central ized.
 Corruptive Alliances Charged
 By employing "a lot of corner drug store detectives" at the behest of Con gressmen and politicians whom they have aided, the department equips it. self with investigators who know noth- ing about investigation and who form corruptive alliances in the treasury de- pertinent, the witness declared.
 These evils could be ameliorated by preventing political changes from driv- ing aggressive men from departmental field work and by making the job of Attorney General permanent so long as the incumbent delivered the goods, Grim believes.
 Too many assistant attorneys gem eral are employed, he said, and sug- gested that two would be sufficient; one responsible for criminal, and the oth- CT for civil prosecutions.
 Grim paid tribute to Daugherty and declared that he could not believe him guilty of prostituting his office to any unworthy purpose.
 Jesse Smith, Grim declared, was a ''hkeable hanger-on of some means who came in handy to run errands for Daugherty."

NEW WAR FEARED
 BY DR. SUN TAT SEN
Asks That Foreign Powers Keep
 Hands Off China's Affairs

PHILADELPHIA, May 22-The Public Ledger, in a copyright dispatch today from Canton, China. quotes Dr. Sun, Yat Sen, first president of the Chinese republic, as saying that he had been deeply moved by the expressions of sympathy emanating from America at the false reports of his death. He also said that China harassed by other \ nations, may cause another world war.
 The Ledger correspondent said that he had talked for an hour with Dr. Sun at his headquarters and that later he had handed him a statement which said in part:
 "I beg for no assistance at the hands of foreign powers, but as founder of the new order in China, have a right to demand neutrality of foreign . powers in our internal affairs. Other wise the day may come when harassed China may be the hand to set afire an. other world conflagration."

This was, one of the closing. sentences of Attorney Sterne and it was noted that tears were easily visible in the eyes of three of the jurors when he had completed his speech this afternoon. His plea for her freedom was based entirely upon the facts that led up to the killing.
 The jury can do one of three things, convict of first degree murder with capital punishment, convict of first degree murder without capital punish ment, or give the young widow her free dom.
 The crowds that have been attending the Rickner trial have been the largest ever to attend trial held in United States district court before, court off cials state.
 Many Women Attend
 Although many sordid details of the case were brought out, the number of women attending grew until at the aft ernoon session Thursday a count of the spectators showed more women in at tendance than men.
