CANADIAN VET THINKS
JUSTICE SLIPPED COG
PORTLAND, Ore., Mar. 16.—Ber
tie Rock, formerly, of Vancouver, B.
<\, is having a hard time persuading
his native country to take him back.
The former Canadian and his wife
and tour children presented them
selves at the United Slates immi
gration office here seeking to be
deported to Canada, telling a story
of war life and hardship which re
sulted in a situation where he found
himself helpless.
In 1916 he enlisted in the Can
adian army, Rock said, and for
three years served in France until
gas and shell shock removed him
from the theater of war. He was
brought back to Vancouver and
cared for there, and when he got
better, took his family to Seattle for
a visit.
He found himself unable to re
turn to Canada when he sought to
do so in 1923, and sickness, result
ing from war injuries, made it im
possible for him to support his fam
ily. The family was sent here and
later, under authorization from the
Canadian government, he was ad
mitted to the veterans’ hospital here.
Last Fall Rock was asked to pre
sent evidence showing that he was
suffering from effects of war, but
before he could assemble the evi
dence he was discharged from the
hospital on an order from Ottawa,
hospitalization funds for himself and
his family being stopped entirely.
Now his fate is in the hands of
immigration authorities.
INAUGURAL PHOTOGRAPHS
FLASHED ACROSS NATION
WITHIN A FEW MINUTES
SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., Mar. 16.—
Photographs taken in Washington
recent!y of the inaugural ceremonies
and were transmitted to this city
within a few minutes by the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph company.
The newest electric marvel produced
printed negatives that were as clear
and perfect as they came from the
camera, although transmitted over
3,000 miles of wire. They appeared
in early editions of the San Fran
cisco afternoon papers.
Officials of the company an
nounced that fifty minutes was the
average time elapsing between the
snapping of each photograph and
its completion in San Francisco.
The first picture of an actual in
augural scene showed President and
Mrs. Coolidge, accompanied by Sen
ator Curtis and surrounded by dig
nitaries of state and high officers
of the navy, leaving the White House
for the inauguration at the capitol.
This photograph was as clear as if
it had been turned out of a dark
room in Washington.
Officials of the telephone company
and their guests listened to the cere
monies as they were broadcast and
passed around pictures of the events
while the president still was deliver
ing his inaugural address.
In a room in Washington a disk,
something like a phonograph record,
spun in synchronization with a sim
ilar disk in San Francisco. That
really was all there was to it, ex
plained the experts. The photo
graphs simply came over the wire.
There are few tolerant men and
most of them are nearly indifferent.
Killing the leaders may save Her
rin, but it never worked well in
Russia.
A woman loves most when in trou
ble; a man only when well pleased
with himself.
A general practitioner is one who
knows enough to send you to the

The grand manner is charming in
a book, but it’s a little annoying be

If there isn’t much to the town
except Main Street it isn’t so hard
to reach Ka^y Street.
Correct greeting when meeting a
lady friend after a separation of

At any rate all men are born equal
so far as the per capita indebted
ness is concerned.
Those who tell us how to run our
business may not be efficiency ex

RUM RUNNER WAS USEDD
AS A “SOCIAL CENTER"
SAN FRANCISCO. March 16.—The
bis yacht Guilla, which had descended
from a plaything of Spanish royalty
to a supposed rum runner plying out
of Central America ports.. was a
socoal center even while she was re
vealed today in the trial of John
O’Hagin, her skipper, and others on
a charge of violating the prohibition
laws. TheGiulla was scuttled by her
crew off the coast of Santa Barbara,
supposedly after having run out of
fuel and her crew who were picked up
by a passing steamer where brought
here and placed under arrest when
the suspected character of the old
| yacht was reveiled,
j While anchored off the Farallone
I islands on the occasion the Guilia
i was the scene of a number of social
i affairs that were attended by at least
one woman, H. S. Creighton, a customs
, officer, testified in the trial. The par
ties were taken aboard under the eye
j of a machine gun which was trained
'on them until their identity was es
tablished. Creightoon said that he
was given this information by J. L.
Daniel, second engineer on the rum
ship.
Daniel said he became disgusted
with the manner in which things were
conducted on board and threw the
machine gun and all its ammunition
overboard.

gram written into law. There re
mained on the calendar, however,
several bills of national interest
which had been given so-called “pri
ority” by the administration leaders.
The Muscle Shoals leasing bill
died in conference.

PLOT OF FANATICS TO
KILL AND BURN FAILS
MANILA, Mar. 16.—A plot to over
throw the provincial government of
the province of Neuva Ecija, seize
the treasury, burn the government
buildings and kill government offi
cials, was discovered after a fight
between constabulary and fanatics
known as Colorums, near San Jose,
in which seven of the fanatics and
their leader were killed.
An affidavit made by one of the
captured bandits disclosed that a
secret society with an alleged mem
bership of 12,000, planned to seize
the government on Friday next.
Considerable unrest has existed in
Neuva Ecija recently owing to
trouble between tenants and land
owners, causing the constabulary to
keep a close watch to prevent out
breaks. When a constabulary patrol
encountered a band of Colorums in
the hills near San Jose a fight en
sued. About twenty-five Colorums,
armed with shotguns, revolvers
spears and bolos, advanced to meet
the constabulary. The latter opened
fire, killing seven Colorums and
wounding the leader.
After being wounded, the leader
continued fighting and wounded a
constabulary officer, who afterwards
killed the Colorum and routed the
rest of the Colorums.
