The committee abandoned hope of
receiving testimony from former
premier Fleming Of New Brunswick
concerning the 100000 campaign

terests to his party his physicians
advising Mr. Fleming was i'll. In
closing arguments, Frederick W.
HinckIey chief counsel for Gould de-
clared that the senator's innocence
had been proved conclusively and that
the case ''would fall flat in a court
Of law
He compared Gould to a man with
a highwayman's pistol at his head
and said that the 100000 had been
paid in 1921 to save Gould and his
associates from ruin. Hinckley said
the 100000 transaction was parallel

A different line of argument was
taken by Senator Walsh, democrat,
Montana, who is prosecuting the case
for the committee He held that the
payment of 100000 would have con-
stituted bribe of Premier Fleming
even if it had been made at the
premier's request to a charitable or
ganization. He said that he never
had contended that Gould actually

was constantly emphasized in these

Knights Of Columbus
Would Arouse Public
Against CaIlesRegirne

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 lR.-An
appeal that "the powerful force or
outraged public opinion be brought
to bear against the policies of Pres1-
dent Gales, of Mexico, was sounded
here tonight at mass meeting held
under the auspices of the knights or
Columbus.
Many public officials, including
the mombers of senate and house
and of the diplomatic corps, were
invited to the meeting, which was
held in Washington auditorium. The
principal speaker was Joseph Scott,
a Los Angeles attorney
"Of course, no sane patriotic
American will countenance interven-
tion," he said in a prepared address.
81 would not waste a drop of blood
from an American lad jtolWinterfere
in the internal affairs of any coun-
try. But that does not mean that
we shall not bring to bear upon
President Gales the present force
of outraged public opinion, for in
spite of modern science the pen is
mightier than the sword and no
government can withstand the vocal
strength of an aroused and con-
scientious democracy"
Declaring the Gales government
came into power with the active
support of the United States govern
ment, under a pledge that there
would be no discrimination against
foreigners, particularly in the ex-
ercise of their religious duties" Mr.
Scott said the American nation haa
every right to inquire whether Presi-
dent Gales is keeping faith with the
American people.
He reviewed the evolution of the
Mexican constitution, which he SAID

preston of the Mexican people nor

Gibson was asked to produce
Young at the immigration offices for
Questioning and was advised to seek
out Hastings and attempt to obtain
the entry papers.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-01-28

Of immigration, with whom Gibson
talked, said the attorney was under
the impression tnat Young had not
paid the head tax at Detroit, where
entry was made.
If this proved to be true, Conaty
said, Young was in the country ille-
gally.
The head tax, in the case of a per-
son entering the country for six
months period, is held on deposit
and refunded when the visitor re,
turns
Gibson said he was told that Bill
Hastings, with whom Young made
the trip westward on a motorcycle,
was in possession of whatever
papers Young obtained at the port
cf entry.
The friendship between Hastings
and Young was reported severas
days ago to have been broken off,
Conaty, questioned regarding re-
ports that Young was born in Scot
land, said if this We're true the
swimmer would have been classed az
a quota" entrant and would have
been compelled to obtain a permit
from the United States consul az
Toronto before entering the coun-
try.
If Young's mother seeks entry into
the United States she will be asked
concerning her sons nativity and
probably will be held at the border
if it is found that both are Scotch
rather than Canadian.
Young would be permitted to re,
turn to Toronto and re-enter after
going through the proper channels,
Conaty said, if his entry proved to
have been made in an Illegal manner.

for the lights to go on again. Pre-

The death rate has been reduced

According to the report 1,127 new
tuberculosis cases and 1888 recur-

handled by the clinics in 1926.
This is a field of preventive medi-

be too highly emphasized. DR.. Nor

responsible for the large decrease in
the death rate. Educating the public
to the fact that tuberculosis is cur

been of value.
