attorney for Gordon Campbell. the
Montana oil man indicted with Wheel

fled that Wheeler had told him spe-
officially he had informed Campbell
he could have nothing to do with
Campbelfs government land matters.
The charge in the senator's Indictment
is that he accepted money for appear
ing before the Interior Department in
such cases.
The statement of the witness was
admitted to the record after Senator
Sterling, Republican, South Dakota,
first had questioned whether it was
"hearsay' evidence, but later had
waived the point.
Wheeler told him in .strong West
ern language Beaulieu continued,
that he knew nothing about govern
ment permits and had told Campbell
he would handle only state court
cases. He denied any knowledge that
Wheeler performed. agreed to per-
form or been paid for any legal serv-
ices to Campbell in connection with
any federal question. As chief coun-
sci for Campbell, he said, he had "rea-
sonable ground to claim that he
knew fully about Campbelrs legal af-
fairs.
when I asked Mr. Wheeler about
law point regarding a certain per-
nit" the witness said, he was very
positive. He said I don't know
- thing about government per-
mits. / told Campbell l would have
nothing to do with government per-
mits; that / would appear for him
only in the courts out here'.r
Campbell had employed Wash

CROPS MAKE HEADWAY
Moderate Temperatures Aid Southern
Farmers.

Washington, ID. C., April 23.-Crop
and weather conditions in southern
states during the week ending yes
terday were summarized today by the
Department of Agriculture as follows ::
Moderate temperatures were the
rule in the cotton belt, though the
nights were rather too cool in the
western portion. Rainfall was mostly
light except in the eastern states, and
there was a high percentage of sun
shine in most of the belt. 1t was gem
orally favorable for field work and
planting made satisfactory progress
except for delay by rain during part
of the week in some eastern cotton
sections.
In the Mississippi valley some cot
ton was planted northward to extreme
southern Illinois.
Frost damaged fruits in western
Texas on April IL and IS, but their
condition remains mostly good.

gaining confidence. carried the fight
to him after the third round and made
a punching bag of the strapping De

seemed to tire. Goodrich, much the
cleverer man, won virtually every
round. There were no knockdowns. al
though once Goodrich, missing a right
swing, fell to the floor for an instant.
Johnny Simpson had the edge over
frankie Mason in a Furnishing six

the advantage. although both men were
clouted soundly and both bled, Ma

the last round.

goofy in the first round of their scned-
uled six-rounder and, after sending
him down twice in the second, won on

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
Chicago, April 2s.-ModCrate re-
ceipts OF cattle and sheep were re-
ported at the local yards today, but
the hog run was larger than week
ago. Big killers did not have any
thing forwarded from other trading

In the hog house sellers had nearly
II, 900 held over. All of the reported
$50 cars of livestock for the local
yards had arrived at the opening.
Receipts were 5000 cattle. 22,000
hogs. 10000 sheep and 2D00 calves.
Demand for steers was slow from
the start and many sales were as much
rs 10 and % cents lower. Even at
this decline the market was late to
start. Some good steers sold at S11
and down, while S12.25 was paid for
prime animals. Most of the medium
and palmer grades of steers were Off
10 and 20 cents late in the day. Cows
and heifers sold nearly steady at the
start, but the trade was generally 10
and 10 cents lower. with some sales
showing more decline. Gamers and
bulls held about like the day before.

the trade was slow.
Hogs were ) cents lower from the
start, but many sales were down n
dime later in the day. One load of
262-pound butchers sold at $3.50 to a
scalper, but the practical top of the
trade was S1.45. and few sold above
$40. Bulk of packing hogs went
over $500 and $500. Pigs were slow

Lambs sold mostly % cents lower,
but the trade was slow even at the
decline. Choice wool lots were placed
at SIG and down while some prime

of people are gambling in the stock

you prescribe for me / follow your

Consider every element and aspect

But If you are acting on this tip.

The doctor insisted on buying at

broke to 81.
Any person not in position TO study

market has absolutely no business try
ing to trade in stocks. Speculation
is a profession in itself and the aver
age person who tries TO speculate is
Just as well qualified to nrctice
law, medicine, dentistry, architecture
and engineering. l quote Seymour
l.. Cromwell, president of the New
York stock exchange, who said in a
public address:
IL am often asked what protection
the small man has in the stock mar
ket. First of all, the small man
should not be in the stock market
except as an investor. i believe that
great harm is done both to the public
and 70 the brokerage business by
catering TO the man Of small means
who does not buy outright, and who.
after all, must be only gambler
under the circumstances.
Buy stocks? Certainly if they are
sound, seasoned securities in estab-
lished, well-managed companies and
ut prices that you know from honest,
expert information are fair. Better,
for investment certainty, buy good
bonds.

FLIES US. FLAG; JAILED
American Merchant Arrested in Gu

Havana, April 23.-Aaron Kerit.
ski, a merchant of American citizen.
ship, was taken into custody in Nueya
Gurona. Isle of Pines, last Saturday,
for displaying large American flag,
according to reports received here to-
day. Published reports said he and
some other Americans unrolled the
flag in the street in order that Amer
lean aviators flying over the Isle of
Pines may see il. At the American
consulate here, however, it was said
today that keritski claimed he mere
~ took the flag into the street to
unroll it and see what condition it
was in.
While published reports describes
American residents in Nueva Gernoa
as much excited over the incident, at
the consulate it is not regarded as
important. 1t was said that il any
charges were filed against Keritski
he was inclined TO pay a light fine
and not press his side of the case.
He was taken to the city hall by a
policeman, but not actually arrested.
1t is against Cuban law to display a
foreign flag without displaying a Gu
ban flag at the same time.

ACTIVE COVERING
SENDS STOCKS UP
IN EARLY TRADING
Prices Advance a Hall
Point to a Point as
Bears Defeated.

Special Radio to The San Antonio Light
New York, April 23.-The market
had acted Tuesday in a manner cal
culated to make the bear party more
cautious. 1t had refused to yield to
attacks on few selected stocks. This
mornings sequel was a fairly active
covering movement which carried
prices forward during the first half
hour half point to a point.
Steel common got above 81, Bald
win Locomotive was up nearly ,
points from Tuesdays low and Amer
lean Can the same. Special strength
was again shown in Colorado Fuel
and Iron and there was sharp run
up in Famous Players, where a short
interest of long standing appeared to
be admitting defeat.
Railway stocks, not having been the
objects of short selling like the indus
trials. did not join in the recovery.
Sugar stocks came back about the
best of any, in recognition of the
fact that recent bearish propaganda
has not been affecting the sugar mar
ket and that the prices at which the
new Cuban crop is being sold are
quite satisfactory.

AGAINST LAW CHANGE
Chamber Opposes Plan to Include
Mexico in Immigration Quota.

Directors Of the San Antonio
Chamber of Commerce went on rec
ord during their meeting on Tuesday
afternoon as opposing any effort in
Washington to include Mexico in the
immigration quota law under discus
sion now. IN accordance with re-
asking that the chambers of COM
merce of Texas should be united in
their opposition to such a step.
According to information received
by the San Antonio chamber from
the FL Paso chamber. it has been
learned that considerable effort will
be made in Washington to include
Mexico in the immigra ton quota law.
Upon receipt of this information, the
FL Paso chamber met and resolved
that such step would be vigorous
~ opposed by that chamber, and the
letter to the LOCAL chamber from FL
Paso followed.
In his letter to the San Antonio
chamber, ID. A. Bandeen, general
manager, states, in part: 1--WE are
of the opinion that the continuation
of the present immigration law, with
respect to Mexico, is fundamentally
necessary to the perpetuation of the
border territory and the Southwest.
We also feel that the further develop
ment and expansion of our territory
would be greatly handicapped in case
this proposed movement would sue
ceed.'
The San Antonio Chamber of Com
merce will also oppose movement of
this kind, according to the action TAX
en- by directors Of that body Fues-
day.
One hundred and ten new mem
bers were added to the local chamber
during the meeting of the directors.
