were present, reported that Keys
was provoked and reprimanded his
subordinate for having made the an
nouncement Keyes declared that he
did not consider the evidence SO far
collected by his office sufficient 20
warrant the case being brought to
the attention of the grand jury. He
said, however, that the investigation
of Mrs. McPhersons kidnapping story
would be continued by his office. In
the meantime the grand jury is be-
ing kept in ignorance of all the
facts in the case. Certain members
of the inquisitorial body have made
it known that they are prepared to
demand that the district attorney s
office lay all of the details of the
Mcpherson case before them.
Interest in the case today centered
on the special delivery letter which
livered at Angelus Temple, June 10.
The letter is said to have originally
borne a special delivery stamp and
was mailed on the train somewhere
between Ell Paso, Texas, and Phoenix,
Arizona. 1t contained what was pur-
ported to be a lock of the evangel :
lists hair and the answers in part
to questions propounded by Mrs.
Kennedy to test the genuineness of a
report that her daughter was being
held for ransom
An investigation by postal authorit-
les revealed that the special delivery
stamp had been removed and two
cent stamp substituted, Cline, who
turned the letter over to the post
office inspectors said that Mrs, Ken
nedy first produced it June %, the
day before the evangelists dramatic
appearance. She said she received
it the day before.
THE grand jury wants the most
exhaustive investigation and a full
report will be made when the inyes-
tlgation is complete" says Simpson.
Discussing the ransom letters, Simp-
son said: 'fWe have become deeply
interested in this case because it is
apparent that a deliberate attempt
was made to use the United States
mails to defraud. We would like to
have all of the evidence gathered to
gether in this connection and placed
before this office for proper invest1
cation and action"
Herman Cline, chief of Los Angeles
detectives, and Joe Ryan, deputy dis
trlct attorney. who have been working
jointly on the case, and District At
torney Asa Keyes were called before
the county inquisitors late today.
The first intimation that the grand
jury would attempt to sift the evan
geEst's story that she was abducted
at ocean Park, May 18, and later
taken captive to Mexico, was received
this morning when Ryan asserted that
he was ready to present evidence in
his possession to the inquisitoriaI
body.

Senator Borah interjected that the
Pennsylvania senator would get small
consolation if he>@ compared the ex-
penditures before the primary system

to the convention system. and with a
dramatic flourish, shouted:
"The common people will swim their
horses by the bride rein in streams
Of blood before they will permit cor
ruptionists to lead this country back
to the old system.
Senator Caraway, ademocrat, Arkan-
sas, observed that the wet and dry
issue injected in The Pennsylvania
campaign has made it so that the
elected officer either was a "subser-
Went tool or the most ungrateful man
on earth.''
"If this continues the government

for the impression to go out that the
republicans were the only ones that
had sinned, Senator, King, democrat,
Utah. a member of the campaign funds
committee, said some of the democrats
had yielded to the Establishments and
their organization had been prosti-
tuted.
The senate debate closed with both
Senators Borah and Blease, democrat.

would reopen the discussion later.

Aqua Prieta Presidente
Makes Statement As To
Aimee Mcpherson Case

In. a statement given to Gilbert
Cosluchof the Arizona Daily Star,
Thursday night by Ernesto Bouboin,
presidente of Aqua Prieta, he said:
'At about l a. m. on June %, first
saw MRS. Aimee Semple Mcpherson.
She was at the home of Ramon Con
zales, who lived across the street from
me on Second street and Seventh ave-
nue. in Aqua Prieta
"She asked me if I was police.
man, and / answered that 1 had police
powers. She then grasped me very
tightly around the wrist and appeared
grateful.
"She then asked me where she was,
, and I told-5er. She gave violent
tremor. She inquired what was the
nearest place and l told her Douglas,
Arizona.
"Arizona?" she echoed, and gave an
other violent tremor.
"Since she looked i'll, 1 asked her
whether she wanted food and drink,
and she declined.
II do not speak English very well
and she spoke no Spanish. I there
fore sent someone in search of a per-
son who spoke English and finally
she was turned over to a chauffeur
who I understood took her to the
hospital.
"The next morning I ordered an in
vestigation of the tracks. Chief of
Police Silvario Villa of Aqua Prieta
was given charge of the investiga-
tion and he reported as follows,
Il; oh l.
ence this afternoon to the represen-
tative of the Arizona Daily Star, and
which report I, myself, approve and
accept:
1--WE found tracks leading from a
road that goes east from Aqua Prieta
at a point about three or four miles
from town. The tracks went from the
road to a small shack absolutely un-
furnished with a dirt floor which IS
used by customs guards as a shelter
during transforms.
"The tracks were made by a
woman's shoes and went both to and
from the road and the shack. We
compared the tracks with one of the
shoes that had been worn by Mrs.
Mcpherson on that occasion and they
matched absolutely.
"The same tracks reappeared at a
point by the side of the road about
two miles nearer town. They lead to
the slaughter house which is about
one mile east of Aqua Prieta. At the
slaughter house they were lost again"
my belief is that Mrs. Mcpherson
was taken by automobile to a place
about 200 yards from the shack and
deposited there and that she walked
from the automobile to the shack and
back to the automobile several times.
Tracks made by her shoes were found
all around the shack but not beyond
though a search was made as far as
Gallardo, nine miles away.
"I further believe from the investi.
cation made by me and by those un4
der my supervision that she was pick
ed up by the same automobile, say
within an hour or two from the time
she was taken out and brought back
to place on the road where the
tracks start toward the slaughter
house.
my opinion is that the entire trans
action was consummated during the
afternoon or evening of June %, the
day before Mrs. Mcpherson appeared
in Aqua Prieta.

Not What We Eat That
Does Harm, But What We
Fail to Digest, She Says
(By Dispatch A. P. Wirel

LONDON. = Evelyn Laye, one OF
London's best known stage beauties,
says: "It is not what we eat that
does us harm, but what we do not
digest"
"It doesn't take a deep scientific
knowledge of foods to find out what
is good for one. Most of us know
from experience what is bad for us.
1 am not food faddist. But I haven't
much respect for women who eat
fried, fat food and heavy sweets and
then complain because their complex
ions and figures are not good"
