Residents of Douglas suffered little
Inconvenience Monday from the new
ruling of the Mexican health officers

one entering Aqua Prieta from Doug

leo City were carried out as ordered,
officials of the immigration and health
departments tried to show the public
every courtesy possiDfe under liberal
Interpretation of the new ruling.
Ramon Rios D, presidente of Aqua
Prieta, stated Monday that he believes
there is some mistake in the instruc-
tions sent to Aqua Prieta and that
every effort is being made to have the
matter satisfactorily adjusted. THE
city council of Aqua Prieta has al
ready taken the matter up with the
governor and will do everything pos
sible to maintain the present cordial
relations between the two border
cities"
More than 100 Douglas residents
were vaccinated by Douglas physicians
Monday to comply with the new ruling.
The ruling merely requires proof of
vaccination within the last five years.
DR.. Eduardo Castro G, in charge of the
health department at Aqua Prieta,
spent the entire day revising health
certificates and examining persons
under the provisions of the new ruling.
No ono was refused admittance to
Aqua Prieta Monday because of the
ruling, but all were instructed to COM
ply with it,

grafton office all persons requesting
to have border Identification cards re-
stamped or new cards issued were in
structed to comply with the new health
regulations. and sent to Doctor Castro.
Antonio Gabilondo, chief of the Mexi-
can immigration department at Aqua
Prieta, stated Monday that no change
in the orders as received Friday after
noon had yet been received.
The Aqua Prieta chamber of COM
merce Saturday sent a long telegram

health certificate revised by the Mexi-

the line into Aqua Prieta, I have noted
that such instructions and regulations
are not correctly interpreted by many
people, creating the impression that
these regulations are a hindrance to
business and commercial relations be-
tween Douglas and Aqua Prieta, and
considering the case as almost equal
to closing of the port So, with the
purpose of making clear in the minds
of the people the meaning of the regu-
lations, 7 wish, as an agent of the fed
eral health department of Mexico, to
explain the following considerations:
'"The regulations above referred to
were issued by the health department
to enforce the vaccination law issued
by decree of the president of Mexico,
General Gales, on March 27, 1925,
which became effective on June 20,
1925, so neither the law nor the regula-
tions are new dispositions, but they
had not been put into full force any
time before. To continue ignoring
these laws and regulations would con-
stitute a violation of the same
I'm closing, l may remind the public
of the two ways of complying with
our laws and regulations, to-wit: BY

sued by any authorized doctor of

SUPREME COURT
AGAINST
M. DAUGHERT TY

WASHINGTON, Jan. II R.-The
power of congress to compel the AK
tendance of witnesses at investiga-
tions or hearings was upheld today
by the supreme court in an unani-
mouse opinion.
The decision was rendered in the
now celebrated case of Nal S.
Daugherty, of Washington Court
House, Ohio, who refused to appear
before the special senate committee
authorized to investigate the admin
istration of the department of jus
tice under his brother, Harry M.
Daugherty.
The court did not pass upon the
question of the power of congress
to compel witnesses either to an
swer questions or to produce books
and papers demanded by committees.
It held that these two questions were
not raised in this case The effect
of the decision is to clear the way
for the senate to bring Nal Daugh-
erty before it's bar or before COM
mittee and there PROFOUND to him
such questions as it's Investigating
committee had in mind to ask him.
Should he then fail to make re-
sponses, the senate undoubtedly
would follow the same course it did
in the case of Harry f. Sinclair, mil
lionaire oil producer, who now Is
under indictment in the District or
Columbia supreme court for con-
tempt of the senate by reason of
his failure to answer questions In
the famous Teapot Dome investiga-
ton.
The Sinclair case is broader one
than that upon which the court
passed today in that the oil man
specifically refused on the advice or
his counsel to answer specific ques-
tions put to him by Senator Walsh
democrat Montana, prosecutor OF the
inquiry,
