about q miser, 'Riceyman Steps,

He said chap named Scrooge

let him know he had only an hour
more to live, he passed his weak
hand over his brfstly chin and said
In his weak voice:

The Ladies Aid met at the home

of business was done and sale

A Sunday School and commun-

eral and all of the other prose-
cutting attorneys in the other two
cases. We authorized his appear
ance in these cases at his request,
for the reason that this county
was vitality interested and it meant
thousands Of dollars to US. Upon
appeal to the supreme court both
the certiorari and equity cases
were dismissed and Mr.. Beardsley
should have due credit for his
share therein.
In addition to these cases. the
Northern Pacific, the S. p. & S.
and the O.-W. r. & N. companies
also fled suit in the various c0un-
ties in which they operated for
their 1924 taxes, which cases were
filed directly in each county. Mr..
Beardsley has represented and
defended Benton county in these
cases and since the supreme court
decision above referred to, the
railroad companies have not press
ed the cases in the various coun-
ties. Mr.. Hamilton mentions the
test case that was made in Yak
ina county, leaving the impression
that the railroads having won in
that case in Yakima, that Ben
ton county also lost it's case. AS
a matter of fact. the Benton coun-
ty case filed in this county has
not been tried and very probably
never will be-, for the reason that
Benton county has a much strong
er case than Yakima county, and
furthermore, case similar to the
Yakima case was tried in Thurs
ton county and in that case the
railroad lost, both cases now being
in the supreme court.
This year the railroad compan-
les have stated they will bring
their suit in the United States
courts, which is pretty good evil

Of truthfulness as we'll as Of the
tween our peoples, for space in
which to state the facts concerning
Monsignor Caruanna's case,
1.-TWO weeks ago, as Consul Gen.
eral of Mexico, / issued a statement
calling attention to the fact that
the papat delegate in his own state
country, made certain admissions
that in themselves justify the action
of the Mexican government in ex-
pelling him from the country.
1T am now sending you herewith
photostatic copy of his declara-
tons made before the Mexican i'm
migration authorities at Nuevda
Laredo. Mexico, on March 4, when
entering Mexico.
In addition to confirming his ewn
admission that he, the apostolic del
egate of the pope and bishop OF
Porto Rico and West Indies, told the
Mexican authorities he was a
teacher, his declaration shows that
he went much further than he ad-
mitted his statement published
throughout the United States. When
asked the question DO you come as
tourist or on business? the dec
laration shows that the bishop OF
Porto Rico, who has stated since he
left Mexico that he went there for
the purpose of making an investiga-
ton for His Holiness, Pope Plus TX
replied that he was going to Mex
leo just as a tourist"
/ Monsignor Caruana said tonight
his declaration to the immigration
inspector at Nuevdo Laredo, Mexico
on March 4 had been filled out by
the inspector, who asked questions
and wrote in the answers. He de-
MED the signature on the declaration
was his. He said he supplied an
swers to all questions put to him
but he had not been asked regard
ing his religion, nor had. he beer
asked whethr he came as a tourist
or on business.
The prelate called attention tt
statements which he made in Mex
leo City, May It,. when he left Mex
leo, in which he said:
Il made no false declara ton and
did not even sign any declaration
at all when l. entered Mexican ter
ritory. The immigration inspector
who questioned me at the border
requested no declaration regarding
my birth and religion, but he did in
quire about my profession and then
l stated the profession which
rarely have, of teaching, without
however, any intention of hiding any
other titles that l have.
