Beggar Tells Police
Gun Inuokes Charity
When His Pleas Fail

Monterey, Mex. March 20. -
The fighting spirit prevails in Mex
leo, even among those who should.
by force of circumstances, be
peaceful, judging from police rec
ords.
Last week a beggar was jailed
for threatening the life of person
who had refused his solicitation for
aims.
The beggar when hailed into
court, frankly informed the judge
that he had followed begging as a
profession for some time and that
he had found out that by the use
of a pistol he could arouse 'chari-
table instincts in person after
mere speech had failed.

In the whirlpool of congressional

at that time, exciting, hearing was a
wordy battle between Senators Moses
and Caraway over the pertinence or
impertinence of Miss Lape's answers
to the chaiman's questions.
The gallery" was waiting with
many thrills to see what would come
of the executive session To act on
Miss Lape's refusal to answer ques-
tions in the way the chairman in
sisted they should be answered. 1t is
still waiting. That was on the 23d
of January. Inquiry today at Senator
Moses office as to the chances of the
committee resuming its work met
with almost blank stares. Does
anybody remember that?" appeared
to be the attitude.
Senator Moses, when he adjourned
the committee back there in January,
merely said the hearing might re-
sumo when there was not SO much
else going on. But almost any one
will admit that that time hasn't ar
