ROCKY MOUNTAIN TUNNEL COMPLETE
Main Bore Piercing Continental
 Divide Finished Today

Denver, Dec. 10 LP - The main bore of the Moffat tunnel, started four and half years ago to reduce the mileage of trans-continental trains by piercing the continental divide was completed today.
 The final blast in the work of in- creasing the central railroad tunnel to the necessary size of 16 by 24 feet, was fired shortly before 4:0o o'clock this morning.
 Crews working from the east and west slopes of the divide completed a small shaft through the almost solid granite encountered in tho main bore. July ', last. A pioneer. or parallel tunnel used to remove rock from the central shaft was fin- ish last February when President Coolidge pressed a key in Washing ton to set off explosives removing a six foot barrier.
 Inauguration Of train service will reduce the distance between here and Salt Lake by 173 miles. The estimated cost of the project is sls,- 100000. The east portal is 9.OS5 feet above sea level and the western entrance 99,19S feet. The tunnel is approximately six miles in length and is about 2,900 feet below the crest of the divide. David H. Moffat, pioneer western railroad builder. conceived the propect nearly 30 years ago, but at the time of his death in 1911 he had been unable to secure sufficient financial backing to start construction.

DARR0V SUPPORTS
 AL SMITHS PLAN
Calls Suggested Method Of Sen-
 tenCing FelOnS Good

New York, Dec. 10 Ex-Governor Alfred F.. Smiths recommendation for sentencing of felons by a special commission today had the support of Clarence Darrow, who was here defending two anti-Fascists charged with the murder of political foe.
 The jury should decide only the accused's guilt or innocence Of the offense charged" the noted criminal lawyer said'in seconding Governor Smiths proposal that commission of experts rule on the nature and degree of punishment for crime after investigation of the individual case.
 "The main thing 10 determine ,' said Darrow, lis whether a man can be saved and returned to society. Many a. man who has committed murder would not be so dangerous to the public as forger or a confi- dence man. Also, there is no sense in freeing a man if the chances point to his return 10 prison later.'
 But 1t is on the old method of procedure before a judge and jury that the attorney for Loeb and Leo poud and Scopes and long line of other noted defendants has taken up the defense Of Donate CarilIo and Calogero Greco. charged with killing Nicholas Amoroso.
 AmoroSo was shot when a party of -Fascists fell upon him and score of fellow "Blackshirts' take part in Memorial Day parade last spring Another marcher, Joseph Carisi, fell at the same time with twenty stab wounds in his body. The case almost immediately as- sumed international aspects. The ! Italian ambassador came here tc 1 attend the funerals and the genera
 secretary of the Fascsts in Rome cabled the organizations tribute tc the slain men. In Naples, where the 1 bodies were shipped, a state buria
 was provided and tributes made D! 1 Premier Mussolini and the Italian | chamber of deputies.
 Coincidentally there was formed
 a Greco -Carillo defense council
 which contended the accused mel
 were victims of a legal frame-up
 and which retained Clarence Darrov
 and Arthur Garfield Hays to pleat their case in court.

AMERICAN HEALTH
 GENERALLY GOOD
Yellow Fever Eliminated From
 North America

Washington, Dec. 10 P}-The in- formation that the health of the people of the United States during the year ended last June was gen erally good" and that conditions throughout the world were the best on record, was imparted today in the annual report of Surgeon General Hugh $. Cumming, of the public health service.
 On the basis Of statistics from 2S states, the death rate for the calep- dar year 1926 was 12,1 per thou sand inhabitants compared with 1l.7 per thousand in 1925. The sur geon general attributed the increase to fatalities resulting from respira- tory diseases.
 Elimination of yellow fever from the entire North American continent and almost entirely from the west ern hemisphere was asserted in the report, which listed a case at Bahia, Brazil, in 1926 as the last record in this part of the world.
 Touching on smallpox cases in this country during 1926 the report said they were of a particularly mild type, as demonstrated, by the fact that of S0,450 cases reported in Al states, there were only SS0 deaths.
 Spread of the Rocky Mountain spotted fever from the two western states in which it was discovered 10 nine states has prompted an in. vestigation by the service.
 As an indication of the efficiency of his department along educationa lines, Dr. Cumming declared tha infant mortality for 1926 was T2.' per thousand as contrasted witt more than 100 for 1915.
 He asked that the president b' granted authority to transfer fed eral hospital and medical agencies ! exclusive of those in the Veterans Bureau and army and navy depart ments to the public health service.

MATRIARCH PLEA SHOCKS HAVANA
Cuban Delegate Calls Mothers
 Relation Greatest

Havana, Cuba, Dec. 10 P@A pro- posal that paternity be abolished as legal status and matriarch adopted as the only definitely provable pa ternal relationship caused sensa- ton at. the Pan-American Child congress here.
 Dr. Carlos Pineiro, official Cuban delegate, said that the injustice of differentiating between the offspring of married and of unmarried women was obvious. Since the only differ ence between them was the suppo- sition of conjugal fidelity in the one case, he asserted that it was neither legally nor biologically possible to prove doubtful paternity. This. he declared. should be sufficient to an- null it's legal standing. Nature, Dr. Pineiro said, has given the mother predominant functions in the crea- ton of the child. Marriage, he pre- dicted, must inevitably disappear us the basis of family relations.
 Speaking in rebuttal, Dr. Carlos E. Pazsoldan. Peruvian delegate. said that Dr. Pineiro's theory would wound the moral sensibilities of | America, upsetting social conditions He characterized the Cuban physi- ] clan as a Utopian. congratulating him on his courage in voicing his 1 opinions, but condemning these as impractical. He cited unpleasant re- suits from the moral let-up which he said prevailed in Europe after the var.
 Dr. Grover A. kempf, of the United States public health service
 when Dr. Uineiro's paper was trans lated to him, said that instead of being an advanced movement, as was supposed by some, the preponoer- ance of the maternal relationship would constitute a retrogression tc
 primitive times. The present social
 system, he asserted. was the loglca development of ages of experience and the world Is better from every angle due to the moral influence o' the family life of the child.
