The work In Tokio was started among girls who fled to the associa- tion to escape marriages which were utterly impossible for them. In Yokohama the association rented five bulidings including dorntitories, an administration building and a vacation house. In Tokio an association building and two dormitories were owned by the Y. W. C. A, and a friendly rela- tions center for the benefit of for- elgners coming to the country, @ national office and a secretaries’ residence were rented. Of all these nothing remains save a piano, a sewing machine and a few typewriters. Two secretaries lost their lives, yet the association began immediate relief work under government supervision and is try- ing now to resume classes and club work in tents and temporary arracks as best it can. Miss Kissick related a number of incidents of the earthquake and painted in the strongest terms the value of the better understanding which is arising between America and Japan as the result of the help ‘America has extended since the earthquake disaster. Mrs. Murane followed Miss Kis- sick and presented to the women attending the tea an opportunity to share in the rebuilding of the work in Japan which met with a generous response both in cash donations and pledges. Other members not pres- ent will also be given ai oppor- tunity to help in raising Casper's share in this work if they so desire. Mrs. Berta Smith sang two Jap- anese songs, “A Japanese Love Song,” by Gray, and “A Japanese Maiden,” by Gaynor, both of which , were greatly enjoyed.

MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN BEING WAGED BY LEGION AUXILIARY, The Membership committees of the American Legion auxiliary {s conducting an intensive campaign for members. Old members are urged to pay 1924 dues now. Last year's dues ended December 31, 1923. Now is the time for the renewal of mem- bership. Many of last year’s mem- bers were unable to attend every meeting, but their membership dues enabled the auxiliary to do many things required of them. is $1.75. Dues may be mailed to Mrs. C. K. Fletcher or Mrs, Chris ‘Wagner. To prospective members the auxiliary presents these facts for thetr consideration: That the American Legion auxil- fary has in less than three years grown to be the largest women’s organization in the world today and is still growing. That their eligibility in this or- ganization is a great honor and greatly to be prized. - It is an honor sity of Wyoming at Laramie to re- sume his studies. Harry Ballard, |Ralph Andrus, William Kocher, and | Lawrence Ormsby, who have been spending tournament week here, will also return to the university this evening.

It was bought with blood. That those who are eligible should feel it as great a duty to become & member as it was to do war work. And there is much work to do. That the disabled and unfortu- nate veteran needs help now even more than in the days of '17 and ‘18. That we have within our state a government hospital, containing 500 beds, which are filled with ex- service men who have given more than their lives because their minds are gone. That we are trying to make the lives of these men a little happier by supplying them with necessary and extra comforts which the gov- ernment does not supply. That there is a colony of ex-ser- vices men at Veteran, Wyo., 100 families, who took up government land, thinking they could get a start in lfe. The conditions in this colony are pitiable and the auxiliary has paid doctors’ bills and hospital bills, supplied warm clothing, and & great number @f layettes. That 12,000 poppies were made last year by the Casper auxiliary and the proceeds used for welfare work. Poppy Day was observed in every state in the Union last year, and the proceeds used for those men and women who are still silent- ly suffering from their war service. The auxiliary is carrying on an intensive program of Americaniza- tion, education, rehabilitation, wel- fare and hospitalization. The membership of the Casper unit was 104 last year, which was the largest unit membership in the state. This year they hope to in- crease membership 100 per cent Eligibility {n the American Le [ston auxiliary requires that a mem | her be the mother, wife, sister or daughter of an American Legion member, or a woman who was her- self in the military service during the war. Last year the Casper unit expend- ed $1,445.63 for welfare and relief work not including the value of clothing, jellies, ‘fruits and flowers used in this same work. The receipts for the year were $2,305.24 and were derived prin- cipally from the following sources: Dues, a benefit dance at the Arkeon cedar chest contest, and poppies preceding =Memor' COAST QUEEN ~ FAGES TRIAL (Continued From Page One) of the law to permit her to intro- duce evicence disproving that of the state’o experts—evidence which seemingly would nullify the strong- est of the circumstantial evidence against her—that Mrs. Baratti questions the justice of the law: it- self. “If this ie latv,” she says, “the al- legary of justice blindfolded must have two meanings.” The Architect Back of every great building Is the architect who designed the building.

Senator Wheeler put tn. “If he can, he, will cause {t now,” Quinby replied. Then the witness conceded knew into which states the fight pictures went when he_ sold them. In Oklahoma and Michigan, ho had not made the arrangements for arrest and fine. “I made no arrangement in those other states—I suggested whom the buyers should see.” he prize “So yom went through this per- formance in 22 states?” “Yes” He was asked to name the states and give the attorney in each one. He said he would “have to look it up.* The committee sent for G. O. Hol- dredge of the United States Fidelity and Guarantee company to appear at the hearing. He was said to be a former department of justice agent. “You ought to be letter perfect in what you sald in each of these 22 arrangements,” Senator Ashurst suggested, “repeat what you told each one.” “I told them they were to consult with a law firm whose name was given them and {t would be all right,” Quinby said, “As a matter of fact,” said Sena- tor Jones, ‘‘you had this understand- ing on each sale, that the buyers ator Jones, and “you were not inter- fered with?” Quinby agreed. adding he went ahead about thirty days after he was fined. “Just walted until things quieted down?” Senator Wheeler suggested. “Yes.” “You got scared after Ralph N varro, a department of justice spec- fal agent, got interested in New York?" asked Senator Wheeler. “Yes. “Then you got in touch with Jap Muma?’ “Yes. Senator Wheeler asked for Muma’s connection with E. B. McLean. “I knew he (Muma) was in Lean’s employ,” Quinby sald. “Do you know that the Attor- ney's fees and expenses for the showing in Chicago alone were $35,-| 0007" Senator Wheeler asked. “I understand the expenses there| were very heavy.” Pressed by Senator Wheeler, Quin-| by said there was “some connection” | between Orr and Jess Smith.

Daugherty and E. B. McLean and that tt could be fixed to show them all over tho country?” “Yes. “And Bill Orr and these people— they were to get 50 per cent of the net profits for their influence in Washington.” said the senator. Quimby was silent. “Why do you hesitate? What 4i4 they get 60 per cent for?” “There must be equity in a con- tract." Quimby said. “Yes, and thetr equity was their pull in Washington?” “Their equity was to advise me how to sell the pictures,” Quimby replied. Senator * Wheeler went over tt ain asserting Orr was a politician, Muma a newspaper man and Ur a lawyer. “They didn't say they would fix things directly?” Mr. Wheeler sug- gested. “They told me if I would carry out their plan, it would be all right.” was Quimby‘s reply. Quimby was excused after two hours. P. C. Baldwin, a San Antonio. Texas, ranger, and also a former department of justice agent, was the next witness, nected with them. Senator Jones asked how Quinby| knew Jess Smith had an interest in| the contract. | “Orr told me,” Quinby sald. didn’t know Smith and never saw him." “Did he tell you that Smith was} a friend of the attorney general's” chairman Brookhart asked. ‘I was told so.” “Who'd you sell ouact? “Mr. Dill," Quinby replied. “Ho was to pay $25,000 for the Picture but there was considerable trouble and we didn’t get anything dut of the pictures there.” | “Wasn't Pitl Orr supposed to rep- resent Jess Smith in this contract?” | “I know they were close friends.” | “Didn't you tell me that Joss Smith had an interest in this con out to in Chi “Did anybody from the depart- ment of justice try to intimidate you?” asked Senator Ashurst, “ro that’s why you are so halting?” | put in Senator Wheeler. | “From what you got hal¢ went to you and half to Muma and Orr ana ese other fellows?” Quinby was asked. | ‘You were to get nothing where they couldn't show?" Asked Sena- tor Jones. “Yes.” ‘The films were sold for Chicago to ® Mr. Becell, the witness sad, for | $25,000 but the expenses were so heavy he lost money. Senator Wheeler read a list of persons who had been fined in var- fous states for showing the filme. ‘The lst identified in part by Quin- by, showed that William H. Ru- dolph operated in four states, Quin- by said he was a “pirate” and “op- erated. on his own hook" in the south. Those convicted, tho witness said, were the men to wham the state rights in the pictures had been sold. ‘The rece!pts of Orr, Muma and Martin, Quinby sald, were “around $60,000 or $65,000." The total net profits including foreign sales, Quinby sald, were around $125,000, not including New Jersey rights. Senator Wheeler, reading from reports, named men who paid fines in various cities’ as announced last night by Attorney General Daugh- erty. “In Boston the man indicted was ‘Theodore Hayes and he wasn't pros- ecuted or fined,” Senator Wheeler commented. ‘Was Muma ever tried?” Wheeler. ‘ot that I know of.” You did know that Mr. Muma| canie to Washington and confessed askéd should have the attorneys named?” “That, was it.” “Did you tell them {f they saw the law firm it would be all right to show the pictures?” asked Senator Moses, Republican, New Hampshire. Quinby said the assurances were not so definite as that. Quinby said he bad charge of the film exhibition In New York state and that the proceeds were about $75,000. After being fined $1,000 he sald, he continued to show the films in New York after about thirty days and was never interfered with. Under questioning Quinby sald he knew the fight pictures had been shown in Washington before pres. ident Harding and several cabinet members, includitg ‘Harry S. New" the postmaster general. Senator Wheeler read a report by a special investigator saying Muma had been advised to see Urion by Attorney General Daugherty in the picture matter. He denied that Muma had told him that the attor- ney general had advised him to dis- cuss the matter with Urion, “Did Muma tell you Urion was a friend of Daugherty's’ “What was Muma to get out of this “The three of them were to got fifty per cent of the net proceeds.”* Senator Wheeler, asked if Muma had ever told Quinby that Attor “They ought to get a big cut | they put this thing across.” Quinby sald he hadn't . “Wasn't this the plan? Senator Wheeler went on, “that Alfred R. Urion and Muma were to put this across, using great influence with the political parties and press. “I don't know,” sald Quin “Was it after the picture shown bere in Washington that this agree-! ment was entered into Asked Senator Wheeler referring to the private showing at McLean's home. “That I don't remember." Chairman Brookhart asked what | General Daugherty had told Muma:| had been made by the films in New York. “About “Die pictur sald Quinby, | you continue to show the a in New York?” asked Sen- | Sen: all his sins to Mr. Burns and said he was headed straight for the Atlanta penitentiary?” Asked Senator Wheel- er. “No, I didn’t know that, ‘ injunction was ¢ out to stop the pictures? Wheeler continued. “Not to my knowledge.” “An injunction would have stop- Ped proceedings” Quinby agreed. The period of his “operations” the witness said, was from July 4 to about December 1, 1921. Quinby was told by Muma, he said, that he was a very good friend of Attorney General Daugherty and William J. Burns, The picture trade knew that he| was the owner of the pictures, and| so did the department of justice. “No cross examination of the wit- ness," said Paul Howland, counsel! for Attorney General Daugherty. Committee members, however, continued Quinby’s examination. Burns, Wheeler suggested, had exclaimed to Muma after hearing | the picture story: “My God, everybody around here knows everything but me.” Quinby said Muma hadn't repeated that con- versation, “You've said you learned that Jess} Smith was in this picture with Orr’| Senator Ashurst resumed. “And after you learned that, all fear of prosecution left you. You felt } Quimby said he and Rickard had} planned originally only to show: the| films in New-Jersey and abroad, but after Muma opened negotiations, he was willing to proceed in other states, P. C. Baldwin, a San Antonio Texas ranger and also a former de- partment of justice agent, testimony on the subject of | border, There were ma st:pments, Baldwin sald, during the revolution ‘of Esteban Cantu, gov- ernor of Lower California, Before he let go of the witness ator Wheler put him, through a mering cross oxamination to out that he or intended show the pictures outside of ew Jersey ond ubroad until he y cases of arms han brti “I'll say they never had a chance,” | © A William Hanson, in the tmmi- gration service at San Antonio, was understood to be involved with Mexicans in getting arms into the of the revolutionists, Baldwin a Hanson was understood to have helped the revolutionists, the wit- ness wald, after he (Hanson) had been attached to the congressional mmittee headed by Former Secre- Fall, which inquired into ican conditions. Baldwin said he referred to the department of justice a report that “Hanson had been to Washington to make arrangements with certain high officials whereby Washington would sanction a revolution if the right people were behind it.’* While engaged in stopping neu- trality violations, Baldwin said, he was transferred in May, 1921, from Del Rio to Dallas and no one was assigned to his place by the depart- ment of justice, That left about 0 miles of the border open as far the department of justice was rned, he said. Baldwin said also he had instrue- tions from the department of justice not to investigate violations of the quor laws but to leave that field the prohibition officers. “Do you know Gus T, Jones?” Senator Wheeler asked. “He was superintendent of inves- tigation for the department of jus- tice at El Paso," Baldwin said, ex- plaining that Jones had been as- signed to work with the Fall com- mittee. Before going on his transfer he made a report on a conspiracy of nine men “to slip in Hquor from Mexico.” Although department of justice agents were supposed to report other federal ‘aw violatoins to re- sponsible authorities of other gov- ernment branches, Baldwin said, “the department of justice orders required that Mquor violations be ignored.” The orders came when A. Mitchel! Palmer was head of tho department of justice, the witness said. Baldwin also charged that United States Attorney John D. Hartman of the western Texas district had defayed filing a charge against Harry Hamilton, a prohibition of- ficer charged with selling seized stills to other bootleggers. I. G. Pendleton, a former depart- ment of justice official, testifed it was “generally understood” through- out the country that W. J, Burns used his offictal position to aid the business of the Burns detective or- ganization to block competitors, Before being excused after a short examination, he smilingly ad- mitted that he was a competitor of Burns and all other similar agencies. Baldwin sald there was “a good deal of drinking,” about the federal building at Dallas and that the United States deputy marshal “got intoxicated.” Senator Wheeler understood the witness to say that the postmaster whom the witness identified as a Democrat, was intoxicated also, but the witness sald not. “Let's get this strafght,’ Senator Wheeler. to the Democrat?” “He was chased out of the build- ing by the United States deputy marshal,” Baldwin said, adding that he was not intoxicated. Baldwin also charged District At- torney Sweifel of ‘Texas of failing to prosecute Jack Wiley, a friend of his, sald to have secured $1,000 while posing as a federal operator. Baldwin identified a circular order received from Director Burns pro- hibiting investigation of the federal district attorneys or other federal officials, without specific authority. This came, Baldwin sald, after he had been active in_his investigation of District Attorney Sweif& go dn Samy Se ta sald “What happened Expert watch and Jewelry repair- ing.
