PROCEEDINGS IN
DEPORTATION OF
COUNTESS NOW ON
MUCH DISCUSSION FOLLOWS
RECENT ACTION IN RULING
MADE FOLLOWING DETEN-
TIoN IN CAMP

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Counsel
for the Countess of Cathcart, success
full in warding of her exclusion from
this country temporarily, are now
turning attention to a study of what
constitutes "moral turpitude," the
ground on which she has been denied
admission.
Although the countess had admit
ed eloping with the Earl of Craven,
a married man, in 1922, Arthur Gar
field Hays, her attorney. contends
that her relations with the Earl did
not constitute a crime within the
federal laws of this country, nor a
crime in the countries in which the
confessed acts were committed.
France and South Africa.
Mr. Hays STAYED off the countess
deportation by obtaining a writ of
habeas corpus yesterday, on which
she must be produced in the federal
court Tuesday morning. She is now
at Ellis Island.
The countess, however, may not
remain to see Mr.. Hays, one of the
defense counsel in the Scopes Evo.u-
tion trial, to conclude the fight. A
play, written by her, is to be pro-
duced in London in three weeks, and
she has cabled that she hopes to at
tend the opening night.
In his application for the writ, Mr..
Hays included the minutes of Lady
Cathcart's testimony before an immi-
grafton board of inquiry. The min
utes say:
'sThe only indiscretion she had
committed was with the Earl of
Craven with whom she had intimate
relations in South Africa and
France"
Replying to critics of the depart
ment of labor, w. w. Husband, sec
ond assistant secretary of labor. has
disclosed that 251 persons have been
deported for moral turpitude, men
outnumbering women in the ratio of
three to one.

BELIEVE THOSE
WANTED FOR crime
WILL BE ARRESTED
sHERIFFs OF SEVERAL coUN-
TIES MAKE INVESTIGATION
OF SLAYING OF FEDERAL DE-
PARTMENT EMPLOYEES

PICAYUNE, Miss, Feb. 90
Sheriffs of several counties who In
vestigated the Staying of two federal
department of agriculture employees
here Thursday, believed today that
the perpetrators of the crime would
be arrested soon. They based this
opinion on the fact that description
Of one of the fugitives had been
widely circulated.
Curious residents of this vicinity
continued to. inspect the spot abous
eight miles from Ficayune, where the
bodies of William Malcolm Mingee
and John Anderson McLemore were
found by friends yesterday. The
victims pockets were turned inside
out and Mingee's shoes had been re-
moved from his feet.
A motor truck in which Mingee
and McLemore left Picayune Thurs
day on hunting trip was found dam
aged and deserted last night in Hat
tiesburg, Miss, so miles from the
place where the bodies were located.
Sheriff Arthur Smith, of Pearl River
county, learned that an unidentified
white man purchased gasoline and
food in Mcneil several hours after
the Picayune men are thought to have
been slain. This man was riding in
the stolen truck. He is believed by
officers to have been one of a party
of rum runners who killed and robbed
Mingee and McLemore because they
thought the hunters were prohibition
agents. This theory remains to be
proved.
Mingee and McLemore were gradu-
ates of Mississippi A. & NJ. College,
and are survived by their widows and
one child each. They had been de-
tailed by the Bureau of Entonomol-
ogy of the department of agriculture
to stop the ravages of the sweet po-
tato weevil in this section. Mingee
was native of Starkville, Miss, and
McLemore was reared at Pittsboro.
Both were active in civic and church
affairs.

DOUGLAS HIGH BEATS
LORDSBURG, IL TO 0

The Douglas high school pigskin
chasers completely outclassed the
Lordsburg eleven in Fridays game,
getting away with the big end of q
13 to score. according to meagre
reports received from the New Mex
leo city late Friday night.
1t was stated that the Bulldogs
showed superior form IN every de-
partment of the game and that their
goal was at no time threatened.
The Lordsburg lads were saidato have
put up a game but weakening de-
fcnse against the onslaught OF the
i cells.
tne Lordsburg sportsman said thae
the Lordsburg eleven had had no
team to practice with and conse,
duentIy had not been able to develop
the skill exhibited by the husky
Douglas lads He added, however.
that the comparatively poor show
ing made by the Lordsburg team
was not to detract from the snap and
class of the local eleven, giving it as
his opinion that the Douglas c~am
was one of the best trained high
school elevens he had ever seen in
action

CROWDS ON COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Is. - ((H9)8-|
The smashing drive OF football in the
third week of it's sport seasonal run
and the next to the final show-off of
baseball, are offered as sporting It'd
bits along the Pacific coast tomorrow.
While the gridiron pastime is gather
ing momentum, the eight teams of the
Pacific Coast baseball league will pre-
pare to close their play and on Sunday
will do "fadeout" for the year of 1926.
Three Pacific coast conference games
head fairly imposing list of football
tilts, with the California-Or Ag-
gies encounter at Berkeley probably
the chief focal point in the matter of
sporting interest The contest marks
California's first plunge into the con-
ference struggle, while the Aggies,
rated as one Of the most powerful
elevens along the coast this season,
have already crushed the hopes of
Montana under a 1910 score.
Washington, last years champions,
having successfully hurdled the first
barrier of a 1926 title bid, will. seek
to stride further along the conference
path in a meeting with Idaho. The
game will be played at Seattle.
Montana, after two setbacks on con-
ference bearing, is conceded but little
chance with the strong Washington
State college squad. The contest will
be held at Pullman, Wash.
The Trojans of Southern California
entertain Occidental at Los Angeles
and are expected to have an easy time
with the lighter and less experienced
college eleven.
Stanford will act as. host to Nevada's
speedy team and with one of the
