Protests Flood House o7s Compulsory Physical and
 Medical Examination BiLI

An advance guard of an indi- cated flood of protests reached the House Of Representatives this morn ing directed against Winns meas ure providing for compulsory physi- cal examination and medical att tendance for public school pupils in the Territory. With only four towns represented, Speaker Rothen- burg has received 36 telegrams of protest this morning.
 Ccrdova, Ketchikan, Anchorage and Skagway organizations and cit i2ens had sent in protests. Christian Science organizations and indi- viduals holding membership in them were most active in their opposition.
 Provisions Are Strong
 The Winn measure provides for physical examination of all stu dents in public schools, compulsory vaccination, exclusion of children suffering from certain ailments, compulsory medical treatment for certain diseases and makes it a rlisdemeanor for parents or guard ians to fail or refuse to obtain such treatment.
 Tine protests charge that the measure is a blow at personal lib- erty, one declaring that "it is as unjust to make medical attendance compulsory as to prohibit it's prac- tice. Others assert the require ments are in violation of the re- lgious freedom guarantees of the constitution.
 Thirty of the 36 telegrans re- ceived came from Ketchikan, three from Cordoya, one from Skagway and two from Anchorage. They were referred to the Committee on and Public Health, which is now studying the bill.
 Pass One Bill
 The House passed one measure today. It authorizes the Terri torial Road Commission to co-op- crate with towns of 1000 or more in population in the construction of aercplane and hydroplane landing facilities within five miles of the limits.
 Two new measures were intro duced. one by MT Lomen adding the stealing of a dog or other animal" to the list of crimes classi- fled as larceny; and one by MT Shattuck for an appropriation of S155.43 to reimburse Norman L. Winler for travelling expenses in- cured in mining investigations in the Territory in 1926 This was disallowed by the Geological Sur vey which employed MT. Wimler to study placer mining methods in Alaska.

CITY COPS TURN
'MOUNTIES' BUT
LOSE MAN HUNT
Snow Trail Ends; officers
Can't Keep Code of
NorthIand.

The weather man today gave
Indianapolis cops an opportunity to
do a job of Royal Northwest
Mounted policing.
The local patrolmen did the job
in a royal fashion. In only one
minor detail did they fail to emulate
the much tabled crusaders of the
northwest--they did not get their
man.
1t all started in the early hours
this morning when Patgolman Tom
Kegris heard the crash of falling
glass at Twenty-third street and
College avenue.
Fight Pistol Duel
Kegris saw d Negro run from the
broken show window of the Kroger
grocery at 1854 College avenue.
Kegris pursued. He chased the
marauder to Thirtieth and McPher-
son streets, firing his pistol at the
fleeing Negro, and lodging bullets
his quarry fired at him.
Undismayed at being outdiS-
tanced, and welcoming the chance
the snow blanket had given to fol-
low a trail, he called police head
quarters for aid, and an emergency
squad Of seven members came to
the scene.
Taking up the trail, they started
jauntily on what they believed
would be a short chase.
Boards Auto
On and on it led, through the
Colored Orphans Home grounds at
Twenty fifth and Baltimore streets,
criss-crossing through the Dear
born woods, doubling back through
Brookside park, crossing the creek,
through back yards and over fences.
Hour after hour the police fol-
lowed a fresh trail, until at last
Rural street and Brookside park
way they were forced to acknewl-
edge defeat, the Negro had boarded
an automobile and the trail was
gone.

GOVERNOR WILL
DENY GUILT IN
SENATE COURT
Oklahoma Executive Will
Face His Legislative
ACCusers Today.
BY GAYLORD p. GOODWIN
United Press STAFF Correspondent


OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, JAN.
31.-Henry S. Johnston, suspended
Governor, will plead not guilty to
charges of corruption and inconpe-
tency when he is arraigned before
the Oklahoma senate court Of i'm
parchment today.
Johnston will appear before the
senate and file separate pleadings
on each of eight impeachment
articles voted against him by the
Oklahoma legislature. He has I'M
til Feb. 5 to answer to three other
counts, voted Tuesday.
Counsel for the accused governor
announced that previous plans to
offer demurrers to the various
charges had been abandoned, be-
cause the demurrers might have
been construed as admitting the
charges. The demurrers would have
been based on the contention that
the charges were not irnpeachable
offenses.
The arraignment was expected to
NC U41C4. OSSldbOI HIOoCCuLOIS dn@
nounced that Immediately after the
pleadings the trial date would be
set by the court and the hearing
adjourned.
Five articles voted against the
Governor charged unlawful fssu-
ance of deficiency certificates, the
hiring of an investigator and an
attorney unauthorized by law and
paying them out of state funds.
Later charges alleged general in
competency and corruption, includ-
ing the allegation that Johnston al
lowed his Office to be dictated by
Mrs. Mamie Hammonds, his conf
Dental secretary.

DETROIT, Jan. 81. - William
Tornpkins, first of twenty former
customs border patrolmen to be
tried on charges of accepting brides
from rum runners, today pleaded
guilty to four indictments when his
trial started in federal court.
Sentence was deferred until cases
against the others have been de-
cided. First Of these will be called
about middle of next week.
Tompkins admitted accepting
brides of S25, s13, $25 and $25 in
the four instances to permit rum
running vessels to come from the
Canadian side to Detroit.
The penalty is two years impris-
onment and a fine Of $1,000.
Negligence of Tompkins and other
patrolmen has been held mainly for
the S5O,000,000 torrent of Canadian
liquor smuggled across the river
here last year.
Jury still in Session
He is expected to be a material
witness for the government in the
other cases.
The grand jury still is in session
and government officials expect
additional indictments.
A score of other patrolmen have
resigned since the indictments were
returned. The normal personnel of
100 men in the patrol here has been
reduced to seventy-five, under VIII
liam B. HaI::;sll, 27-year-old success
sor to SIMMER E. Sleeper, who is on
leave of absence following his
transfer to Tampa, Fla.
Before he was transferred Sleeper
criticised administration of the
border patrol, stating he was given
10 authority over subordinates and
handicapped by numerous shifts OF
his men.
Rum Runners Indicted
Three patroImen are under iIldict-
ments for perjury in their testi-
mony before the grand jury. A total
of 100000 in brides is estimated
to have been paid by smugglers.
Sixteen rum runners, said to be
the brains of this $50.000,000 year
business, are charged with giving
brides and violating customs laws.
Four have been arrested and
twelve are fugitives from justice in
Canada.
The indictments revealed that a
busy night for one patrolman meant
a side income of from $3.50 to 5000.
Most of the patrolmen received
but $4,000 year salary.
