Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-03-02

After making a 1000 mile trip
across the United States from Marion,
Ind, Sheriff J. G. Campbell of Grant
county, Indiana, arrived in Douglas
on Tuesday and told the Dispatch
ton in the matter Charles e. Sharp
held here on felony warrant and
wanted in Grant county. Sheriff
Campbell in an interview with a
representative of the Dispatch said
last night, 81 have never in more
than a score of years as peace Of
ficer met such a man as Governor
Hunt. 1 have never been treated
with such disrespect or injustice as
had heaped upon me on Monday
when 1 went to the governors Of
tices seeking signatures to the ex-
tradition papers"
Campbell told the Dispatch, This
man Sharp is charged with felony. He
purchased a car in Indiana, made
one payment on it and left the
State. I asked Governor Hunt to
sign the papers so that the man
could be taken back to stand trial.
1t \is my understanding from what
the governor said that he declined
to sign the papers because he felt
that the law was being used as
collection agency. [ then asked him
to permit me to prove to him that
in this case the man would surely
be prosecuted but he refused to lis
| ten to any evidence whatsoever.
In explaining the matter to the
Dispatch, Campbell told of the ar
/ on telegraphic authority from him.
| Campbell states that the courts OF
indiana are not collection agencies.
He showed an order from the courts
to come here and get the man to
return him for trial
Campbell pointed out that Gov
ernor c. w. r. Hunt had told him
that he would neither grant ex-
| tradition for man wanted in an
other state for car theft nor would
| be authorize an Arizona officer to
| go to other states and get men
| wanted here on that charge. Camp
bell said, "Such an attitude on the
part of the governor means simply
that any man in the state of Ar1-
/ zona can embezzle carr and drive
if into another state and be apso'
lutely immune from the law"
J On Monday the same day and at
the same hour that Campbell was
refused extradition signatures by
! Governor C. W. P. Hunt, two other
Indiana officers, Horace M. Hamll-
ton, captain of detectives at Soutf
Bend and Detective Charles Var
Deusen were granted eXtraditlor
signatures by Governor G. w. 2
Hunt for two men held in Phoenf1
iail on charges of felony for roe'
berry Campbell points out that this
offense may not be half as serious
as that of stealing or embezzllng
car and that there are as many IN
stances in which such matters are
compromised by the thief returnins
the stolen property.
Campbell said, II feel that TN
attitude Of your governor in no
permitting me to show that prosecu
tion and not collection is INTENDED
in this case is unjust in the eN
treme. / feel that his attitude tina

sequence and that felony unde

Senators Working On Ad-

WASHINGTON, March R)-The
house passed the ways and means COM
mittees medicinal whisky bills today
while the senate, operating under the
cloture rule, which limits debate,
drove toward q vote on the adminis-
trations proposal to create prohibit
tion and customs bureaus in the treas
ury department.
The medicinal whisky bill which now
goes to the senate, would permit pri-
vate manufacture of liquor under SUI
pervision of the treasury and is in

The customary wet and dry lines in
the house were shattered on the whisky
vote. 1t was sent to the senate after
several hours of acrimonious debate,
by a vote of 2O9 to Isl.
During the debate repeated attacks
were made upon Secretary Mellon,
Representative Howard, democrat, Ne
braska, going so far as to offer an
amendment to entitle the bill an act
for the relief of Mellon and asso-
ciates. Other members charged that
it placed monopoly in the treasury
secretarys hands.
The bill would give the secretary of
the treasury authority to permit man
ufacture of whisky "at a reasonable
price,, in from two to six distilleries,
under regulations prescribed by him.
While no restrictions as to amounts
are placed upon the secretary, it is
contemplated between two and three
million gallons annually will be nee

WASHINGTON, March 1 P)-Sup-
porters of the Swing ohnson Boulder

bill was dead, so far as this session of
congress is concerned. Refusal of the

While the unofficial republican com

Legislative procedure in the house was
sealing the doom of the Boulder cam
yon measure, another committee was
reporting a resolution to prohibit the
issuance of power licenses or permits
on the Colorado river for two years,
or pending the coming into force of
the Colorado river compact.
Late in the day it was brought UP in
the house. which passed it and sent it
to the president, the senate having
previously approved it,
The resolution said that pending ap
proval of the compact, issuance of any
permit or license by the federal power
commission might embarrass negotia-
tions now pending for ALLEGATION of the

Boulder canyon fight, for the present,
was lost, Representative Swing, re-
publican, California, co-author of the
dam bill, announced that he already
was laying plans to continue the bat
tie as soon as the next congress CON
Venes in December.
He said he hoped to have the bill re-
ported by the house irrigation COM
mittee early in the next session. This
would place it among the first meas
ures on the legislative calendar and,
he predicted, would virtually assure
it's coming to a vote in the house. He
plans also to ask the rules committee
to give the bill preferred status as a
double precaution.
Representative Tilson, the rep1<fi-
can leader, announced that the steer

in favor 2 of other legislation that
either has, or is expected to pass the

refusal at the state department to
throw any light on the American note
handed to the Mexican foreign office
opened the way for unlimited specula-
ton tonight as to the latest evidence
of friction between the two govern
ments.
The department, however, did say
that the communication had no rela-
tion to the oil and land law contro-
versies, but made no comment on the
statement from Mexico City that the
note was of unusual Importance. Eff
forts to guess the subject of the note
ranged all the way from the trouble
American Insurance. companies have
encountered with new Mexico regula-
tory laws, to the possibility that the
state department had protested direct
communications from President Gales
to Senator Borah, not routed through
normal diplomatic channels.
Another suggestion was that nego-
tiations might be in prospect to ex-
tend the life of the INSTRUMENTATION

few months. None of the suggestions
