Mr. Gilbert declared the prosecu tion of Valentino was "born in sen sationalism" and "desire for publicity on the part of the district attorney's office." The prosecution's own witnesses had shown there was no ground for the complaint, he said. Mr. Costello said he had Been unaoie to serve a supoena issued for Mme. Alia Nazimova. Russian actress, to appear at the hearing. Dr. White tes tified sha understood Mme. Nazimova was stopping at a cottage in which the Valentinos passed a night during their stay at Palm Springs.

Mondell, representative from Wyo ming and house majority leader, is be ginning to hear mors distinctly than ever before the voice of the west raised in protest against his opposi tion to the Smith-McNary reclamation bill. Although still standing pat, there are signs that he is now more dis posed to listen than heretofore. West ern members who have been slow to speak out against Leader Mondell's opposition to everything western are showing a boldness that is likely to hurst one of these days over the head of the imperious leader. Indictment Being Prepared. Aggrieved at this stubborn oppo sition to the reclamation of the arid lands of the west, the western mem bers have begun the rough draft of an indictment of their leader, which carries several serious counts. Mon dell's resistance of practically all leg islation of need in the development of the west is attributed to a fear on his part that some of his influential eastern friend-s in and out of congress will accuse him of provincialism. As a consequence, it is said, he is "leaning back to the point of his ma chine" to allay any such fears' or suspicions on the part of his compan ions. Conference Action Fleaging. There was great joy among several western members today over the re port brought in yesterday by the con ference committee of house and sen ate on the federal aid highway bill, which provides a three-year pro gramme of $50,000,000 annually to helo the states improve their roads Dy matching federal funds with an equal amount of state funds. One of the counts of the western Indictment of Mondell relates to a provision in- the roada bill as passed by the house, which restricted the federal contribution of a single mile of road to $12,500. The bill carrying this provision was brought into the house under suspension of the rules and subjected to a parliamentary sit uation which mad amendment im possible. ' Mondell Held Responsible. Western members had to accept the objectionable limitation or causa the defeat of the entire bill.' Mondell always has been held responsible at least for the oppressive parliamentary situation, if not directly responsible for a cost limit on road building which would have made impossible the first-class Improvement of cer tain mountain roads in the west with out the states contributing sums much larger than the government cvuld allot. The senate raised this limit to $16,250 a mile, which makes possible an expenditure of $32,500 by both federai and state governments, re garded as sufficient for the improve ment o the worst roads in the west, whore steep grades must be over come or rock blasted away. Relief of Miner Opposed. Another count in the indictment goes back to the time when western mining claimants' were clamoring some two years ago for another year's exemption from assessment work on their c'.aims, which was made difficult by the extraordinary economic conditions growing out of the war. No one apparently was opposing the bill, which affected thousands of mining claims in the west, when one morning Leader Mondell ap peared unexpectedly at a meeting of the mines and mining committee. which was about ready to report the bill, and declared almost violent op position to it. He was forced later to withdraw his opposition, but his conduct on that occasion never has been forgiven nor forgotten by west trn representatives. Constituents Expect Nothing. In opposing the exemption bill he said he never had received a single letter from his state urging the passage of the bill. This always has been interpreted by other western members of congress as indicating that some time before that Mondell's constituents had ceased to expec anything from him for themselves or their state, because the office of every other western representative was deluged for weeks with letters and telegrams urging .prompt action on tne Din. Prominent republicans in Wyoming at this very time are writing to leaders in the reclamation movement Ravine that thev are amazed at Mon dell's attitude and desire to know more about it. Srnatorahlp Is Stake. One such letter, reaching Wash ington only yesterday, said if reports filtering back to Wyoming in the last few days were true, the repub lican voters of the state wanted to know it before the time came to vote on the senatorial nomination, for which Mondell is a candidate.

The newly organized Lane county re publican central committee, at its first meeting in the courthouse today, went on record as "unalterably opposed to present primary system as written on the statute books for Oregon." The motion was made by Joe Morris of Mapleton after Beveral of the veteran members of the committee had con demned the present system and laud ed the old convention system. The old-time republicans said better men could be gotten as candidates for office under the convention system and said it worked for harmony in the party. Chairman Yoran declared the republicans did not wish to return to the "'old ring rule," but that there were more satisfactory methods of se lecting candidates for office. D. E. Yoran was continued as chair man and J. Hamlin as secretary of the central committee. Colonel W. G. D. Mercer was elected state central com mitteeman from Lane county and J. W.
