Ry United Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO Mar. ST. Wah
Hing, Sacramento herb doctor, was
the first witness called to testify
when today 5 legislative extortion
investigation was opened.
Kings memory proved faulty as
he attempted 20 explain his nego-
tiations with Charles Wilkinson, as
scmbly sergeant at arms and he was
severely criticized by members of
the committee who warned him to
tell all he knew of the case.
The herb doctor told OF Il visit to
his office by white man he did
not know Oh February 8, who in
formed him of the Smith herb bill.
Hing admitted he had seen the man
before but was unable to identify
him.
He then narrated his various Wis
its to the capitol to secure copies of
the bill, his conversations with
Wilkinson regarding how to get in
touch with Smith and of Wilkin-
sons visits TO his office.
Hing declared that he had paid
no money to Wilkinson other than
$50 with which to purchase stamps
for the letters being prepared by
the stenOgraphers.
Asscmblyman T. NJ. Wright cross
! examined the witness about the ban
! quct held in San Francisco by mem
| bers of the Chinese Protective asso-
citation. Hing admitted there was
! some wine served but assured the
| investigator that no one got drunk.
Neither of the two girls hired by
the Chinese to type tile letters sent
to all members of the assembly has
been paid fer their work, it was
brought out ut the nearing.
After being cross examined by
Smith as to the exact date and con-
text Of the telephone call asking the
asSembiyman to come to Sacramento
to talk about the bill, Hing was eX-
cused from the stand and the COM
n4ittee adjourned.

tween in the asserted exjortion plot,
was not present at the morning ses-
sion. Bracket was slated to take
the stand al the aftenqpn hearing.
Possibility that the hcatings might
be ended by tomorrow night was
expressed by officials today.

Lyall. Mesa player, although ad-
mitting that he is on Fort Worth's
".etired list, disputed the No
gales claim that he is ineligible in
state league baseball. He assert
ed, however, that he cannot play
with any other team in organized
baseball until he has obtained a
release from Fort Worth.
Rudi Baerwald, manager of the
Globe team gave Mesa until 8
o'clock Saturday morning to ac-
cept or reject terms offered by
Globe for a series which would
decide the Arizona State League
championship. Baerwald holds
that Mesa is the champion of the
second half Of the league race
and advised Nogales that Lyall
Mesa second baseman, is eligible
to play in the state league as he
is on the retired list rather than
the suspended list in organized
baseball. Mesa accepted Globes
terms.
By terms Of the agreement be-
tween Mesa and Globe for the
championship series, the first
game was set for yesterday and
the second for today, lboth at
Globe. The next two games will
be played at Mesa, on dates to be
definitely set later and if a fifth
game is necessary, a coin will be
Tipped to select the scene.
It Nogales is to have league ball

Shortly after word was received
Saturday that President Robert
Spiers of the Arizona state base
ball league would not consider the
Nogales protests at all. arrange
ments were made to disband the
Nogales team for this season.
Nogales protested the recent
Nogales-Mesa game on the ground
that Ross Lyall, one Of the Mesa
players, was ineligible to play
because he had failed to report to
the Fort Worth club of the Texas
league.
The protest was made after a
telegram had been received here
from Secretary Farrell Of the Ma
tional Baseball Association stat
ing that Lyall was ineligible, but
notwithstanding Farrell's ruling,
President Spiers Of the state lea
que refused to consider the mat
ter. so Nogales was left out in

playing Globe a series for the
