the New York office of MCGUIRE.
This evidence was intended by
the Government to establish vio-
lation of the Federal lottery law
through interstate shipments.
James Heffler, U. S. Depart
ment of Justice accountant, the
second witness, identified checks
from the propagation depart
ment" of the Moose found in its
records.
The propagation department"
headed by Theodore Miller and
Mcclure, handled the charity
balls. The Government claims it
has shown $4,000 was traced
from the financial accounts of the
propagation department" into
the personal accounts of Senator

The prosecution charges Davis
benefited by $4,000 from the
proceeds of the lottery" balls.

profit under an agreement with
Miller which contained a refer

the Moose Supreme Lodge.
Charles ]. Margiotti, of Pitts

UNTOUCHABLES
GET NEWS Of
VICTORY
Sweeping Concessions Will Be
Given Them Under Gandhi's
starvation Gain"

BOMBAY, Sept. 26 Q.N.S.).
Through the medium of the
press and by word Of mouth
passed in countless market
places and bazaars, news was
flashed to midas 100000
forgotten men" today that
the British and Indian govern
ments had approved settlement
of the Hindu problem.
The forgotten men" were the
so called "untouchables." the
Pariahs who for centuries have
formed the lowest strata Of the
tradition built pyramid which
comprises the Hindu faith.
Sweeping Reforms
Deprived from time immemorial
of the right to vote, the right to
learn, and in some cases almost
the right to live, the "untouch'
ables" are granted sweeping con-
cessions in the Hindu agreement
in return for participation in
join celebrates.
That the agreement will result
in immediate improvement in
the status of these depressed
classes was foregone conclusion.
But even the most Sanguine OBJ
servers could not hope that their
lot will be transformed overnight
from hopelessness into one of
joyous opportunity and equality.
Inequality Tenet
The "untouchableS" are the
outgroWth of a system of caste
and class distinction so deeply
imbedded in the Indian conscious
ness as to be almost incompre-
henSible to the Western mind.
The Hindu faith, to begin with,
is founded on doctrine of in
equality-on the tenet that man
is born what he is born and must
ever be.
Such a system demands that
the lowest caste be placed lit
orally beyond the pale.
Isolation, segregation. abuse
and defilement have ever been
the lot of those who form the
base of the Hindu pyramid. OPP
portunity has been denied them.
Born To Caste
They, as their fathers and
grandfathers were before them,
have been Scavengers, sire e t.
SweeperS-workers of the lowest
sort, with only an occasional few
rising to craftsmanship or higher
callingS.
Every investigation of the In
dian problem carried on by the
British government has lamented
the plight of the "untouchableS"
as the most serious aspect Of the
entire question.

British Glad Mahatma
Has Ended His Fast

LONDON, Sept. 26 GNSO,
Officials were overjoyed today
when they learned the govern
ment's approval of the Poona
agreement for a new Indian
electoral system had caused
Mahatma Gandhi to end his
fast after nearly seven days.
An official statement said:
"AS representatives of the
depressed classes and other
Hindus believe their scheme
adequate for providing security
to the depressed classes, his
majeSty's COVE n m emit will
recommend to Parliament in
due course adoption of the
clauses of the agreement deal
ing with presentation in the
provincial legislatures in place
of the provisions of the gov
ernment'S own award"
The statement pointed out the
agreement deals with some ques-
tions outside the scope of the
Governments electoral plan, but
said this fact provided no justifi-
cation for -upsetting the Poona
agreement.
