A. E. Mann, field deputy of the state
game warden's department and for
mer resident of Douglas, was in the
city Saturday for the purpose of
enlisting the aid of local sports
men in establishing temporary
game preserve in Rucker canyon A
flock of young turkeys and pheasants
were recently released on the ranches
of Mann, Charles L. Rak and Fred
Hiney, along the canyon. The can
yon cannot be established as a game
preserve until the next session of the
Legislature but the ranchers who are
trying to restock the canyon with
game are relying on the fairness of
the sportsmen in not shooting any
of the birds until they have had time
to multiply.
Sat present, a flock of the young
turkeys are located close to a camp
ground in the upper canyon Mann
states, "and we wish to warn hunt
ers and campers not to shoot them.
The ranchers and the state game de-
partment has gone to considerable
expense in procuring the young birds,
and we are anxious to carryg them
through the season" =
The young birds were raised by
Miss Lena Ellison, of Phoenix, and
placed in Rucker canyon several
weeks ago. Another flock of %

FRIENDS RALLY TO
AID COL, WILLIAMS
ACCUSED BY BUTLER

San Diego, Cal, March 11-(AP)--
Although the impression among navy
and marine officers today was that
the courtmartial Of Colonel Alexan-
der Williams OF the marine corps.
charged BY Brigadier General Smed-
ley D. Butler with intoxication in a
public place, would not be held for
several weeks, If the courtmartial Is
ordered, friends of Colonel Williams
were busy today assembling evidence
in his behalf.
1t is known that some of the off,
GERS present in the Coronado Hotel
when General Butler made his
charge and put Colonel Williams I'M
der technical arrest have declared
that colonel williams, in. their judg-
ment, was not intoxicated.
To the list of those supporting Col
onel Williams in this. particular.
there was added today, friends of
Colonel Williams said, the name of
Boston woman, a guest at the hotel,
who had known Colonel Williams for
some time and who danced with him
that evening. She declared that she
saw no indication that he had even
been drinking and was quoted today
as being "astounded" when she heard
Of the charge against him.
officers today cleared up some
doubt concerning Colonel Williams
arrest" 1.-THE arrest" means that he
is removed from command of the
fourth regiment of the marine corps
and cannot resume that command
until the courtmartial clears him or
he is restored to duty by order from
Washington. He is confined to
quarters and is not restrained in any
other way. The maximum sentence
he could receive, if found guilty by
court martial. would be expulsion
from the service, navy officers said.
A sidelight on the military careers
of the two involved officers was re-
vealed today.
General Butler. four years junior
in age to Colonel Williams, was an
enlisted man eight months and "a
days before he got commission as
second lieutenant in the marine
corps. Colonel Williams was ap-
pointed direct from civil life.
Actually the two officers are on al
most a parity in length of commits

Hope Wanes Senate
Will O. X. Nomination
McCamant as Judge

Washington, March 11.-(AP)-
President Coolidge lost ground today
in his battle for Senate confirmation
of judicial appointment for Wallace
McCamant of Oregon, who launched
the chief executive on his national po-
litical career by placing his name in
nomination for the vice presidency in
1920.
With three members yet to be heard
from, the Senate judiciary committee
voted 10 to 3 against favorable re-
port on the nomination of McCamant,
who now is serving on the ninth cir
cult bench under recess appointment
made last summer. OF the three COM
mitteemen yet to vote, one is certain
to cast his ballot against confirma-
tion.
Unofficial accounts were that Sena-
tors Golf, Ernst and Deneen, all Re-
publicans, were the three voting for
McCamant. Those opposing were
Chairman Cummins and Senators b.
rah and Means, Republicans, and the
seven Democrats on the committee.
With such an overwhelming vote in
the committee, administration leaders
generally conceded that there was lit
tie hope that the Senate would act IA
vorably. Some have suggested that
the president withdraw the nominal
ton, but the White House has an
nounced that Mr.. Coolidge will insist
on Senate action.

Washington, March 11-(AP)-The

may cost the Socialist leader his
hope of Being restored to citizenship.
Representative Berger, Socialist.
Wisconsin. today urged Attorney
General Sargent to consider favor
ably the restoration to Mr.. Debs of
his civil rights. He presented simil-
ar plea to President Coolidge yester-
day on behalf of Debs, whose SEN
tence for violation of the espionage
act during the war was committed in
1921.
While not making a decision, Mr..
Sargent indicated Debs would have to
apply for a pardon personally, fol-
lowing the usual procedure.
THAT is like asking Methodist to
seek a pardon for being a Methodist"

he has done anything to be pardoned
for"

Sen. LenrOOt Sees
Continued Amity
Yanks and Canadians

New York, March 11-(AP)-Sen-
ator Irvine l.. Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin told Canadian club members to-
night that continued friendship and
justice would bring the Dominion and
the United States continually closer
together, while neither need lose its
individuality and institutions.
Senator Lenroot spoke at the an
nual banquet of the club on the same
program with C. H. Cahan, K. c.. Of
Montreal.
Diversion of lake waters was pro-
nuonced one of the most important
differences between the two coun-
tries, by Senator Lenroot, but he said
that this question also had caused a
division of sentiment on both sides
of the border. He pronounced the
proposed St. Lawrence waterway an
undertaking which means more to
the prosperity of the interior of both
countries than any project ever cor
ceived by the mind of man."
He ascribed objections which he
said had been made to the waterways
by certain interests in New York and
Montreal to selfish reasons, for fear
that it might injure some of their
commerce.

STRIKERS WITHDRAW
P|CkETS IN PASSAIC
WOODEN MILL DISTRICT

Passaic, N. j., March 11-(AP)-
Pickets were withdrawn this after
noon for the first time in several
weeks by the striking mill workers
In the Passaic wooden district.
No strikers went back on duty aft
er the afternoon mass meeting,
though the mills had been picketed
as usual until noon. The only ex-
PLANTATION given by Albert Weisbord,
chairman of the strikers united front
committee, was that the pickets had
been taken away until the strikers
ranks are more compact1y organized.
This was made necessary, he said.
by the addition of several hundred
workers from the United Piece Dye
Workers, in Lodi, who went out on
strike in response to picketing there.
The strikers have concentrated
their efforts on the United Mill for
the past two days, and tonight esti-
mated they had recruited between 500
and 900 employees from it. This has
necessitated shutting down a part of
the mill. Two thousand employees are
said to be out of work as result.
Despite this, Theodore Boettger.
president of the United Mill, declared
he will not negotiate with Weisbords
committee, and denied reports that
the mill is planning to shut down al
together because of the number of its
employees now on strike.
Weisbord also announced this aft
ernoon that $50 strikers will go to
New York tomorrow to conduct a
tag day" selling tags on the streets
to raise funds for relief. The party
will be brought to New York in
trucks.
The trucks will be equipped with
samOvars, to brew tea for the strik-
ers on the journey, Weisbord said.

ON PARTY POLITICIANS

Washington, March 11.-(AP)-An-
other rumble Of threatened. political
trouble in the corn belt was heard to-
day by the House agriculture commit
tee, which is conducting hearings on
a farm relief bill.
William Hirth of Missouri. chairman
or the corn belt committee, sent to
Washington by mid-western farm or
CARNATIONS, told the committee blunt
ly that the Republican party would be
held to account If it failed to enact
suitable farm relief legislation. He
added that, though the chief RESPONSE
bility lay with the majority. I'VE have
the right to expect the help of Demo-
Gratis in Congress"
He then quoted an extract from the
Republican platform of 1924 pledging
the party to enactment of measures
which Will place the agricultural in
terests on a basis of equality with
other industries to insure it's prosperi-
ty and success"
Possibly" he continued. "those
who wrote this resolution did not ex-
pect 1t to be taken seriously by the
farmers-possibly it was intended to
be nothing more than political apple
sauce-but some millions of farm men
and women did take it seriously and
voted for Mr.. Coolidge and for Repub-
lican members of Congress in the be-
lief that it was a solemn pledge, and
that it would be faithfully kept"
Those who regard lightly the recent
farm relief conferences at Des Moines,
he said. will do S oat their peril"
"If We are once more sent away
emptyhanded," he continued, cor if
Congress attempts to meet this pro-
foundry grave situation with mere
meaningless palliative, then as certain
as there is God in Heaven there will
be a day of reckoning"
