PAM BRINGS
ACTRESS
3 Agencies Of Government
Interested in Mexican
Officials Actions.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct. Ia
Three government agcncics-thc De-
partmcnt of Justice, the Labor Dc
partmcnt and the Interstate Com
mercc Commission, are closely in
vestigating the charges laid before
Immigration Commissioner Curran Of
New York By DR.. Adolfo Ferrcr. of
Fcrdham University. to the effect
that the Mexican finance minister,
PAM, brought Gloria Faure, a show
Girl of Mexico City with him to New
York in violation of the Mann act.
While the Department of Justice
refused to disclose its plans it is
known that quiet investigation is
being conducted by the secret service.
Should the charges made by DIR.
Ferer be verified it is possible that
the department would take action
against the Mexican finance min
lister.
w. W. Husband, assistant secretary
n labor, in charge of immigration,
ssid that so far the case has not come
before him officially.
He explained that the usual pro-
cedure would be for Immigration
Commissioner Curran TO make an OK
tensive inquiry. If he feels there
has been serious violation of the i'm
migration act he would then report
to the Labor Department. Pending
such report. Husband said he could
throw no light on the case.
Government officials recalled that
the charges against PAM. who is ih
Ns,v., fn, ~ e IL \
Dc Ia Hucrta debt agreement, are
similar to those filed against LUIS
Firpo, the South American prize
fighter. Despite the charges and the
determined efforts to deport Firpo
he carried out his contract TO fight
Dempsey for the world heavyweight
championship.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is not disposed to take cognizanec
Of tLs charges that free transporta-
tion was obtained by Gloria Faure
by PAM, who, it is alleged, falsely
represented her rs a maid on his pri-
vate car. No authority is vested with
the commission to take criminal or
civil action in such eases, it wcs
stated today.
II was explained by an official of
the commission that under the trans
portatntion act the railroads of .thc
United States have authority to grant
free transportation on private cars
belonging to officials of foreign gov.
