FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1924. INSTITUTE. AT. LABOn TEMPLE DRAWS CROWD Dr. B. J. Minort Replies To Questions Along With Lectures. Much interest ts being shown in the Labor institute now in progress at the Labor temple under the direction of Dr. B. J. Minort. His capacit?’ for aptly answering the multitudinous and difficult questions asked him, is remarkable. This evening the Rochdal will feature the lecture and study. ‘The speaker is a recognized author- ity on this topic and his audience is certain to be well instructed, During the afternoon a meeting was held exclusively for women. Discussion centered about woman, work, wages and weal. » The series of lectures will reach their highest point Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday there will be three meetings, the first to follow a special musical program at the Rialto and the others coming later in the day at the Labor temple. PROBERS ARE HANDED SLAP (Continued From Page One) nue, This is done because it seems incredible that the senate of the United States would knowingly ap- prove the past and proposed con- duct of one of fts committees, which this letter reveals. “There exists, and always should exist, every possible comity between the executive departments and the senate, Whatever may be neces- sary for the ‘information of the senaté or any of its committees, in order better to enable them to per- form their legislative or other con- *stitutional functions, ought always to be furnished willingly and ex- peditiously by any department. “The executive branch has noth- ing that it would wish to conceal from any legitimate inquiry on the part of the senate, But it is recog: nized both by law and by custom that there fs certain confidential In- formation which it would be detri- merftal to the public service to reveal. Such information as can be disclosed, I shall always unhesi- tatingly direct to be laid before the senate. ..1 recognize that it is perfectly legitimate for the senate “~ CASPER GARAGE MECHANIC TO SERVE TIME IN PRISON FOR MANSLAUGHTER AT LARAMIE George “Ike” McDance, who has been working as a mechanic in a local garage, was arrested this after- noon by Sheriff Morris and will be taken to the state penitentiary at Rawlins to serve from three to five years for involuntary manslaughter. MeDance, who was a prize fighter of considerable notoriety in southern Wyoming was tried and convicted for killing Harry Richards at. Lara- mie November 1, 1922. He appealed) the tase to the supreme court and to indulge in political discussions and partisan critcism. “But the attack which is being made on the treasury department goes beyond any of these legitimate requirements. Seemingly the re- quest for.a list of the companies in which the secretary of the treasury Was alleged to be interested, for the purpose of investigating their tax réturns, must have been dictated by some other motive than a desire to secure information for the purpose of legislation. The adoption of the resolution already referred to {s apparently subject to the same criticism. “The senate resolution appointing this committee is not drawn in terms which purport to give any authority to the committee fo dele- gate thelr authority, or to employ agents and attorneys, The appoint- ment of an agent and attorney to act in behalf of the United States, but to be paid by some other source than the public treasury, is in con- filct with the spirit of 1764 of the revised statutes, the act of March 8, 1917. “The constitutional and legal rights of the senate ought to be maintained at all times. Also the same must be sald of the executive department. But these rights ought not to be used as a subterfuge to cover unwarranted intrusion. It is tha duty of the executive to resist such intrusion and to bring to the attention of the senate its serious consequences. That I shall do in this instance. “Under a procedure of this kind, the constitutional guarantees against unwarranted search and seizure breaks down, the prohibition against what amounts to a govern- ment charge of criminal action with- out the formal presentation of a grand jury is evaded, the rules of evidence which have been adopted for the protection of the innecence are ignored, the department be- comes the victim of vague, unformu- lated and indefinite charges and in- stead of a government of law we have a government of lawlessness. ‘Against the continuange of such a condition I enter my solemn pro- the decision in the district court was upheld. The death of Richards was sup- posed to have occurred during a drinking bout when McDance hit him in the face. Richards died with- out regaining consciousness. McDance when arrested this after- noon at the order of) Judgo P.

If it is to be continued, if the gov- ernment is to be thrown into dis- order by it, the responsibility for it must rest on those who are under- taking it. It is time’ that we return to @ government under and in accordance with the usual forms of the law of the land, The state of the Union requires the immediate adoption of such a course. JAPAN FIGHTS EXCLUSION ACT (Continued From Page One) Japanese immigration into the Un- ited States was curtailed, has been reduced to concrete terms for the first time in an exchange of corres pondence between Secretary Hughes and Ambassador Hanihara, The diplomatic exchange, catcu- latedyto clarify the issue over Jap- anese exclusion which has been raised n congress during discussion of the new immigration legislation was forwarded by Mr. Hughes to- day to Chairman Colt of the senate immigration committee. ofore the internati derstanding between and Tokio on the subject h: based on a@ long succession of ex- changes and precedents, and the exact terms of the “agreement” never have been reduced to precise form. In ratifying the principle of the “agreement” the. Japanese ambas- sador's Metter to Secretary Hughes denied charges by Pacific coast Sen- ators that the understanding had not been observed scrhpulously. It was asserted that Japan was willing to contiiue the arrangement in force, with full promises of its observance, but would look with serious doubt ‘|upon proposals for a more drastic Che Casper Daily Cribune ‘DOUBLING’ FOR HIGHER-UPS IN LIQUOR TRAFFIC SCORED BY PROSECUTOR IN CASE the ambassador's statement of the essential points in the rageee 554 agreemen' corresponded with’ his own understanding of the arrange- ment. The ambassador expressed hope that full consideration would be given to the “grave consequences” which the proposed exclusion clause in the immigration bill would bring ‘on otherwise happy and beneficial relations” between the two nations, The proposed exclusion would not only “seriously offend the pride of this nation,” the letter said, but would “involve the question of good faith and therefore honor.” Ambassador Hanihara said his government would be willing to en- ter negotiations looking to modifi- cation or change of the “agreement if that séemed necessary.

The speech was dellyered during the closing argument {in the trial of Lewis Maloney charged with operating a still and a big crowd lot Spectators learned a few things about the liquor traffic that they evi- dently had never suspected. Maloney was acquitted of the charges of manufacturing liquor after he had pled guilty to possess- fon. Judge Brown deferred sentence on the defendant until late this afternoon, This -1s the first liquor violation case this term in which the jury brought in an acquittal. It is be- eved that Mahoney's plea of guilty to possession may have had some in- fluence in the case. Maloney's defense was that he was at the still when the officers arrived but only in charge of the liquor and the still. He disclaimed any part in the manufacture and said that he had been employed by others to guard the diquor and the plant. Photography was introduced in the state's case in the nature of pic- tures taken by Bert Bell, local photographer, Bell went out with the officers to get some motion pic- tures for Pathe and a picturg of the still house and the equipment was wn the jurors. he officers who made the raid testified that the still was found on Pine Creek in the Ie brush on the banks of the creek but fresh tracks in the snow ed the raid- ing party to the dugout.
