SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.-tR
The influx Of Mexicans into the

There has never been a greater
racial movement in all history"
Mclean said. He also asserted thas
but few Of the 1000. 900 MeXicans In
the United States ever would return
To their native land but that their
love for their country makes them
~disinclined to become American cit
liens.
In spite of these conditions Nc
Lean declared the Mexican TO be an
asset, but he also represents Ger
tain social liabilities which can be
removed by the breaking down Of
racial prejudice and by bringing 70
bear upon Mexican communities
helpful social stimuli"

 Pomerene read a letter from Fall to Doheny before the Elk Hills lease was made which showed, he said, that the latter was being kept informed of the oil reserve sit uation.' The prosecution also read the famous policy letter in which Fall had inserted after the clause, these leases shall be awarded by competitive bidding" the words "and otherwise" and said he would give the reason for this insertion.
 Referring to the $100,0oO which Doheny gave 10 Fall Pomerene as serted that there is not a man or woman on the jury who does not realize the impropriety of a public official accepting money from a man dealing with his department.

 Roraback Involved
 Buell. was excused after telling the committee a few unimportant facts concerning expenses, and Senator Walsh recalled Hubbard to the stand. Walsh produced letter from Senator Bingham to Hubbard in which the latter asked Hubbard to meet him in the office of J. Henry Roraback, republican national com- mitteeman, to discuss Eyanson's coming to Washington. The senator asked Hubbard to explain why they should meet in Roraback's office.
 It was merely a matter of conven- fence, Hubbard explained. and Walsh snapped What did Roraback have to do with this anyhow" Nothing was the answer.
 He went to Roraback's office, ltuDDdTl SdlI, anu di dHB'h Nitil Senator Bingham to have EyanSon come to Washington. Roraback was not present, he said. when the ar rangement was made.
 Question of Integrity
 "The whole thing" Hubbard told the committee, "has narrowed down to a question of the integrity of the Connecticut Manufacturers associ- ation." He intended to continue along that line when Senator Cara way stopped him and questioned him on the meeting at which it was de- cided to send Eyanson here. Cara way insisted that Hubbard should have made a public statement 10 the effect that there was no 'collusion' at the time the incident was made public.
 Caraway asked Hubbard if he ap- proved of sending down an employe and having him put on the goVern- ment pay roll so that he could get into the secret meetings of the com- mittee on finance.
 Hubbard maintained that he and his organization approves of every thing that has been done in the mat ter.

 Touching on the white slave traf- fic, which, he said was one of the greatest menaces to decency, Father John said he would rather shake the hand of the lowest woman ever born, at the corner of 42nd street and Broadway, in the presence of the greatest crowd it would be possible to assemble, than to touch the hand Of man who contributed to that woman's downfall or who helped keep her in the life she had entered. In this phase of life, he asserted, the old law of supply and demand is the force by which the traffic is kept moving, and but for the men who have sunk so low as to associate with women of i'll repute and sup

 Anniversary Of Invention

A total of 4S0 ten-watt golden glow globes have been strung on wires surrounding Central park by members of the committee aiding in Jubilee, which is being observed this week.

A re- plica of the first lamp invented by Thomas A. Edison is on the desk of B. H. McElhona. manager of the Connecticut Light X Power Co.,, where it can be seen by visitors.
 In connection with the obsorv- ance, Mayor Paonessa today issued the following proclamation:

 You can all go to bed now" pr. Laubry gave a correspondent the following analysis of the Tigers condton:
 Its a heart attack and therefore most critical. NJ. Clemenceau was warned several times this summer 10 slacken his work of writing his memoirs, but characteristically he refused. It is impossible to predict the outcome. although he is mo- imentarily resting easier following injections of oxygen. But he is SS years old, and his heart cannot be expected to stand such strain very long"
 At 6:3O a. m. after only a few fit 1 full spells of sleep, Clemenceau awoke grumbling because of his in ability to get out of bed and walk. His grandson, Rene Jacquemaire, 1 who Is also a physician and who passed the whole night at Clemen- ceau's pillow, succeeded in persuad 1 ing him that he must not attempt | to move.
 Calls Grandson "Fakir" When Jacquemaire spoke of the "possible necessity of another oxygen 1 injection" Clemenceau replied with a grunt:
 You faker."
 Clemenceau celebrated his SSth birthday on September 2S and was said to have told a friend at that time that he expected to die within year.
 Recalling that his mother and father died before they reached 90, he was quoted as saying: "I am in the danger zone. I do not ask for death, nor do I fear it. l await it. shall die this year"
 Laboring under this intimation of his approaching end. he plunged with reckless vigor into the com- pletion of his final book of memoirs. The book was understood to present a complete justification of the posi- ton he took in the closing days of the war when he insisted that the allies should march into Berlin. Without bitterness" but with firm ness, he aimed to show that he and not Marshal Foch or General Persh- ing held the correct solution of the war.
 Says Book is Done
 On Saturday when approached with questions concerning his book. he waved a shoaf of manuscript un- der the nose of the correspondent and exclaimed triumphantly:
 Its done-that book of mine, but I shall wait until the end of the year to give 1t to the publishers as I may want to make some charges stronger"
 The heart attack of last night oc- cured about an hour after he had retired. AS has been his custom for more than 50 years he went to bed quite fully dressed, his might clothes" consisting of old black swallow tails and striped trousers pulled over his night shirt. Slippers clad his feet and a trench cap was pulled down over his ears.
