The right Of a member of Congress
to claim immunity from a civil suit
while here on official business de-
tense raised by Senator Huey p. Long
IN $500, 900 libel action filed against
nim-will be determined in the near
future by the District Court OF Appeals
IN an opinion of national importance
from legal viewpoint.
Samuel T. Ansell, former counsel for
q Senate committee investigating the
election in Louisiana of Senator John
H. Oyerton, filed the suit against Long,
Claiming the latter had libeled him by
mailing copies of q speech delivered in
tne senate to various persons In the
onited States. Senator Long was
served with process In the case while
attendlng special session of Congress
last April.
Long Motion Denied.
He asked the District Supreme Court
to quash this service, contendinr he
was entitled to immunity from service
OF this character while attending a ses-
sion OF Congress. The lower court de-
nied the motion and Senator Long
nled the special appeal now being COM
sidered by the Appellate Court.
senator Long, through the law firm
of Davies, 9eebe, Busick g. Richardson M n
stresses two points in support of his
contention that he should be immune
from a civil suit here. The first is that
the Constitution provides that Senator's
and Representatives shall in all cases
except treason. felony and breach of
the peace be privileged from arrest dur
ing their attendance at the session of
their respective houses, and in going to
and returning from the same" It is
argued that the service of process in
civil cases can so hamper the freedom
OF movement of a man that it amounts
to an arrest in the liberal sense of the
word. The other is that modern public
policy requires that member of Con-
gress should be given the same i'm
munity accorded those called here to
testify in a trial.

HONOLULU, December 9.-Chang
Apana, "a, Honolulu Chinese detective,
has followed in death the man who
made him famous. Chang was the
Charlie Chan in novels of the late
Earl Derr Biggers.
His death last night removed one OF
Honolulu's most picturesque characters.
When the city was incorporated 35
years ago. Chang joined the police force
and served until retired in May, last
year.
His detective feats attracted the at
tention of Biggers before he visited the
islands and the novelist incorporated
some of these in his first story about
Hawaii, THE House Without Key"
When Biggers visited the islands, he
sought out Chang and they became fast
friends.
Chang's greatest exploits in detective
work were in the old days Of Chinese
immigration when Hawaii was hotbed
of opium traffic He was knitted and
beaten, but never lost his courage.
"fIe was the gsmest creature ever
knew" was the comment Of one Of his
brother officers.

PLAN ADDITION TO DENVER MINT
TO PROTECT u. S. STOCK OF GOLD

Mint's vaults will have room to store an
almost unlimited amount of gold and
silver bullion and coined money, accord
ing to Mark A. Skinner, superintendent.
At present the Government. keeps
more gold in the San Francisco and
Philadelphia Mints and the New York
assay office than it does here. but
Denver's location-in the Rockies 1000
miles or more from either coast and
from the Canadian and Mexican bord-
ers-is regarded as probably the safest
place for storing the country's bullion.
The largest amount Of bullion and
coined money the Mint has held is be-
lieved to have been around $500, ,000, 900.
At present, Supt. Skinner said. the
Mint has nearly that much on hand Is
a result Of recent heavy shipments OF
gold since the Government purchase

convicted and banished by the United

absolved and elevated to glory?

ROOSEVELT SPURS
OHIO VALLEY HOPES
UnIeashing of Vast Power
Envisioned by Chief
of Association.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, February GA small
empire coming Of age through the un-
leashing of its vast natural resources
was visioned here today after Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt announced he eyed
the Ohio Valley for an economic and
industrial project.
MIR. Roosevelt's proposal to spread
population and unemployment by re-
forestation, flood control and agricul-
tural development in the Tennessee
Watershed was Endorsed by w. c. Gull
kins, secretary Of the Ohio Valley I'M
provement Association.
I'VE shall write him Immediately and
offer the assistance of our association
in planning a program for the Ohio
Valley" Culkins said.
Waterway Proposed.
Hope that the Ohio River might be
linked with the Great Lakes was ex-
pressed by Culkins. He said a project
Of the scope Mr.. Roosevelt contem-
plates along the Tennessee River, when
applied to the Ohio Valley, no doubt
would bring up the possibility of a
waterway from Lake Erie to the Ohio.
He pointed to the Ohio Valley as
perhaps the richest in natural resources
forests, fields, mines and water-and
said hydroelectric development partic-
ularly would be a boon. The Ohio
River is largely unsuited for water
power projects, but Culkins said its
tributaries offer bountiful opportunities
Government engineers have been sur
veytng the river for the last two years.
The Tennessee and Mississippi River
sections will benefit from development
of the Ohio Valley, he said, and vice
versa.
The Ohio Valley, Culkins said, would
be admirably suited for the proposal
the President-elect has in mind for the
Tennessee Watershed. Improvements
have been in progress for several years,
lotably the Miami Valley food control
an, which Mr. Roosevelt regards as
deal for application in other parts of
the country.
River Shackled.
After the loss of more than 400 lives
in a flood in 1913, which almost wiped
out the city of Dayton, Ohio, and
caused great damage to other cities,
the small but one-time powerful Miami
River was Shackled.
The cities along the river are pro-
tected by an elaborate system of dams
which create what engineers call "dry
reservoirs" or retarding basins.
The project was completed in 1921
at a cost of more than $4,000, 900
and engineers have estimated its bene-
nts since then at more than $77,000,0 900.
