STATE WITNESS
in TONG DEATH
AMONG MISSING

KINGMAN, Dec. 16 lP-Mystery sur
rounds the disappearance of Don On,
American born Chinese boy, who was
to appear as one of the chief wit
nesses for the state in the trial
with the murder on the night of
October 80 of Tom King, a Chinese
restaurant owner here and the last of
12 members Of the Hop Sing Tong
who are alleged to have met their
deaths at the hands of the Bing
Kong Tong in a war which broke
out nine weeks ago in Santa Bar
bara, California.
Don on disappeared today after
having telegraphed his aged grand
father at San Francisco that he was
in peril of his life and needed the
counsel and protection of his rela-
tives.
Although earlier this week it had
been officially announced that a truce
was in effect, strange Cinnamon have
been filtering into town for days,
and on the eve of the trial, tension
is high.
Sheriff bill" Mahoney of Mohave
county followed five Cinnamon in a
car from San Bernardino and it is
reported that a party of ten others
are on the way here from the coast.
Search of the cars gave no clues,
however.
At the preliminary hearing of the
five accused tong men last Saturday,
Don On, who testified that he was
member of no tong, proved a willing
witness, and the county attorneys S
office relied on him as the mainstay
of the prosecution. In spite of his
absence, it is intended to proceed
with The trial, using the official
transcript of his testimony at the
hearing as evidence.

.PINCHOT FLAYS GILBERT QUINT
WARES PARTLY PLAYS IN this
STOLEN SEAT CITY THURSDAY

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 16 P-
American farmers fired the first
shot of the revolution in Massa-
chusetts it is time for American
farmers to make ready and fire
the first shot of a new revolution
in Pennsylvania, Governor Pinchot
told members Of the state grange
at their annual dinner tonight, in
an address assailing the election of
United States Senator Elect william
s. Ware. The governor said Ware
had become a national ISSUE
by virtue of the fact that his
election was partly bought and partly
stolen, he has grown to be what he
could not have attained in any other
way--a figure Of nationwide mean
ing and Importance" the governor
asserted. THE achievements Of
Pennsylvania have been hidden from
the nation" Pnchot said, and III
their place there stands a sinister
figure which to the people of the
United States represents the cor
ruption of the ballot, nothing else
"When people speak of Pennsyl-
vania today" the governor continued,
box the phantom voter on the regis
tration lists and the swollen bank
rolls employed to defeat the will
OF the people which have become
the commonplaces of politics in
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia alone.
Pennsylvania herself, seems to be
the state least impressed by what
has happened and is unconcerned
with what is yet to happen. I can
assure you that such indifference
does not extend beyond our border
Referring to recent trip to Wash
ington, Pinchot said: 81 learned what
every visitor can learn-that repub-
lican leaders in the senate from re-
publican states and democratic lead
ers from democratic states have no
hesitation whatever in expressing in
their private conversation their con-
viction that Ware will never serve
as senator of the United States
senate from the state of Pennsyl
vania."
The governor charged Ware and
clean elections" bills at the extra
passage of the laws needed for the
country districts "The Ware machine
lives by controlling and corrupting
the administration of justice in Phila
delpha and by treating public Of
fices, solely as spoils," the governor
said THE Ware machine, by stealing
votes, imposes taxation without rep
resentation upon our people.
"Do you want the interests of this
great commonwealth, with its ten
million of people to be at the mercy
of a man who stands for what Ware
does?
For 7 count Senator Reed out.
All he represents is the Mellon in
terest and U. S. Steel

OF
CATHOLICS HAS
REPLY

NEW YORK, Dec. 16 |(P.-The
Catholic Episcopate of the United
States Wednesday issued a pas
toral letter which declares that
present troubled conditions in
Mexico IS caused by the de-
fiance of the fundamental princi-
pies of liberty as they are understood
in the United States. This Is thc
since 1919 and it's purpose, 1t was
stated in authoritative circles, was
not to revive the religious controversy
but to set it at rest forever. The
bishops state that their reason for
speaking on the Mexican situation is
that the Mexican government has it,
self appealed to the American public,
the pastoral saying:
"The government of Mexico cannot,
therefore, object under such circum-
stances if the case it has thus pre-
sented for judgment in the light of
American principles as embodied in
our fundamental laws; nor, since it
appeals for the sympathy of Chris
tians, if Christian principles be given
due weight in considering it's acts; /;
nor, since it claims great zeal for the
advancement of education, if the
statements it has presented in sup
port of its pleading be submitted to
the test of history. These are the
things we purpose to do, SO tnat no.
only will our own people be fully
informed of the interests at stake,
but that the Mexican people may not
be without benefit of advocate before
the court to which their rulers have
actually but mistakenly appealed"
Recounting the work and influence
of the Catholic church in Mexico over
a score of years, the pastoral letter,
speaking for the church, says:
"Show me one good thing in Mexico
I did not give you. Show me one
genius for whom I am not respon,
.sible. Show me one step toward the
light that I did not help you take
Take out of your country all that
cut in it,land see what remains"
The bishops state the letter is nc
appeal for political intervention OF
action OF any sort, declaring that il
J sis no interposition of our influence
| either as bishops or as citizens to
/ reach those who possess political
power anywhere on earth, and least
/ of all in our own country, to the enc
/ that they should intervene with armed
/ force in the internal affairs of Mexico
for the protection of the churc. Oui
! duty is done when, by telling the
! story, defending the truth and en-
phasizing the principles, we sound &
] warning to Christian civilization thai
it's foundations are again being at
| tackled and undermined"

NO NEW POSTAL LAWS
THIS SESSION, SAYS
JOINT BOARD LEADER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 GA
definite prediction that there will
be no postal rate legislation at this
session was made today by Senator
Moses, republican. New Hampshire,
chairman of the joint congressional
committee which has been studying
the question for more than a year.
Because of sharp differences of
opinion among members as to per-
manent schedule, he said that on
expiration of it's authority Saturday,
the committee would report that 1t
had no recommendations to make.
Senator Mcclellan, democrat, Ten
nessee, however, plans to submit a
minority report recommending the
1920 rate on second class matter;
return to the one cent rate on third
class matter, and abolition of the
two cent service charge on parcel
post packages.
Last May a subcommittee headed
by Moses suggested abolition of the
two cent rate on private postcards,
return to the rate of one cent for
each four ounces of second class
matter and other changes, but these
recommendations have not been ac-
cepted by the full committee.
The postoffice department has been
asked for estimates on revenue under
various revisions favored by COM
mittee members and while tentative
bills have been prepared to carry
them out, none has received the
backing of a majority of the COM
mittee.

Found guilty of insubordination ant
conduct unbecoming a minister, Crom-
bic was removed from the ministery
by unanimous vote of the PresbyteryN
Decision of the ecclesiastical court
was announced today after a session
which started yesterday and lasted
until early morning.
Notification of the courts action
was withheld from the various stated
clerks of the church throughout the
United States to permit Crombie to
appeal to the state synod.
Immediately the verdict was an
nounced, Crombie issued statement
declaring his intention of taking the
public platform against what he
termed his persecution by the forces
of modernism"
He also intimated that he would
start civil action.
He failed to appear at the hearing
charging that it was illegal, and that
forged documents, falsified records
and deliberate slander and vilifica-
tion" were injected into the proceed

"The decision drives me from the
Presbyterian pulpit to the public plat

Crombie has been a storm center
in the Presbyterian church in South
Dakota since last spring, when he
was removed as pastor of the First
Presbyterian church here after con-
troversy with his board of elders and
congregation. The elders padlockel
the church when Crombie resisted ef.
forts to remove him from his pas
torate.
Subs equently he started the Old
Faith church here "to preach the Bible
as it stands, miracles and ALL" The
state synod suspended him and his
trial followed.

ROTARY is GIRDLING
THE ENTIRE EARTH
Business Life of 35 Countries
Now Feel ROtary's Ethical
Influence
Especial Correspondence


Business and professional men rep
resenting thirty-five countries, jour
neyed from Australia, Japan, the
Philippines, South Africa, Spain, Hol-
land, Norway and Sweden, Denmark
and the Balkan states, as well as
from all important countries of the
globe, met at Denver, June IA to gain
knowledge of the activities of Ro-
tary and develop new energy for the
participation of their clubs in the
local affairs of their many commun-
tiles, where Rotary encourages and
fosters better living conditions, COM
mercial, social and civic, among its
many benefits.
This gathering of probably ten
thousand Rotarians becomes a revela-
ton of the influence of friendship and
brotherly feeling among men of ex-
perience and position, who have found
that the elements of Rotary possess
a reason for their being-or becom-
lLS-lid I'LL al bCiLSo, CAPlOoo-
ing their fellowship and comradeship
in common interests and with, con-
certed feeling of service to all hu-
mainly itself. This is not "high-
fallutin'" analysis of mere superb
cial sentiment 1t is practically ex-
perienced by the type Of men compos-
ing the membership Of many clubs,
and the twenty-five hundred commun-
tiles throughout the world have felt
in some manner the practical results
Of the activities of men with such
visions.
That the demand for the increasing
development of the institution of Ro-
tary has been met by the secure su-
pervision of the organization of each
new club is shown by the fact that
there have never been any paid Or
ganizers and that only one charter
has ever been surrendered by a club.

cause of the composition of the
original charter memberships, which
have not been of English speaking
men, but of native citizens who have
understood this unique human bond
of social equality, where religion,
politics, and social position have no
distinguishing power, but where there
is a single level of association and
intercourse.
That there was but one definite
group of purposes is shown by the
uniform similarity of the work done
by the many clubs in Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia, South America, for
the benefit of the social and commune
ty life of their cities and commune
ties. The work of the clubs of the
United States can be seen represented
in these few exemplary incidents.
The Rotary Club of Sidney, Aus
tralia, learned that the Boys Brigade
needed $4,000 to extend the work in
to new districts in the city, and set to
work to raise that sum; the amount
obtained was $4,000. Similar work
has been done in many clubs through
out the world.
In Mexico, every Rotary club has
started work among boys-Chihuahu,
Torrson, Saltillo, Monterey have fur
nished Fairgrounds and skating Kinks,
fostered and paid for by Rotarians.
Vera Cruz started Boy Scout orga-
nization, uniformed the boys, built a
stadium, also boxing ring, supplied
athletic equipment, a radio and a
library, at the expense of the men,
bers. In Vera Cruz prospective
smallpox scare and epidemic was pre-
vented by the members of the Rotary
Club and their wives who went out
and vaccinated 10000 persons, in
many instances proving to the doubt
ing natives that the vaccination was
not harmful, by vaccinating them
selves several times in the presence
of doubters.
In Paris the club established for
one of its members a laboratory
where he could pursue his researches
concerning cancer. In an English
club a fund is maintained to assist
boys to complete their college educa-

Upon solid foundations of practical
service well defined and correctly u
derstood, the advance of Rotary, first
from Chicago in 1905 to the West
and then to the East, clubs being
formed in San Francisco, Seattle,
Oakland, New York, Boston, Mime
apolis, was followed by general de-
velopment in the United States, which
began in 1911.
That the idea of an organization
strong enough in personnel to take
interest in any activity in the COM
munity could proceed without conflict
with other civic organizations, was
amazing to wiseacres who did not
understand that the first principle of
the institution was to be the inner
circle of all circles, the inspirer of
action in all societies. This was to
be accomplished by the unusual pol
| icy of single representation Of each
business, trade or profession, which
would ensure one emmissary going
forth from the Rotary meetings to
inject into the society or club COM
posed of men of his own complexion,
representing only his own position in
the community.
Thus, the one Rotarian would ro-
tate among those of his own business,
trade or profession in his community
and general field of contact, with a
message and vision and inspiration
representing the inner circle of
thought and determination in the
community All these members of
Rotary being unable to exchange
thoughts or ideas identically alike
would come to common understand
ing of that most desirable action or
position to take in the community
and the best of concerted action for
the benefit of the community would
result.
| This alone was novelty in insti-
tutional and community life in this
country. The many safeguards which
were constructed to prevent error in
the practical application of this pow
erful purpose gave the founders many
problems to solve. The preservation
of the institution for twenty-one
years proves the soundness of the
