' . WASHINGTON, Jan. 2
f AP) Congressional lnresttra
tlon of prohibition enforcement
vas being discussed as a possibil
ity at the capital tonight at the
end of one of the wordiest free for
alls In the persisting wet and dry
controversy.
I Tbe day "aw Attorney General
Mitchell and Chiirata Wicker
sham, jot the law enforcement
tofflnlMiim, engaged with both
proponents and opponents of the
Tolstead act In congress with
all holding their own- at nightfall.
; The attorney general denied a
statement by, Senator Borah of
Idaho, an outstanding dry critic
of enforcement conditions, that
the justice department had In
vestigated the record of Prohibi
tion Administrator Herbert, of
the Montana-Idaho district. He
also denied that any Justice,
agents bad been sprint on
Borah's office.
The Idaho republican replied
that some employe of the govern
ment had Investigated Herbert
and had submitted the report oa
the dry administrator to Prohibi
tion Commissioner Doran. He re
Iterated that his informant had
been removed from the cily after
calling upon the senator at his
office.
; "We ought to find ont all the
tacts," Borah declared. 'We
will do well to gpfinto the whole
question, whenjthe prohibition
tills come before the judiciary
committee."
-His statement was regarded by
ebme as forecasting an Inquiry
Into the prohibition unit. He is
a member of the senate Judiciary
committee, which considers pro
hibition legislation.
! Chairman Wickersham notified
Representative Dyer, republican.
Missouri, a wet. that the question
of allowing 2.75 per cent beer was
legislative problem. His word
was in answer to a request from
Dyer for a statement on the feas
ibility of the beer proposition.
The Mlssourian rejoined that
he would ask the house judiciary
committee to Invite members of
the law enforcement commission
it appear and state whether "in
tilr opinion, such a change in
tfee prohibition enforcement act
would aid the president to better
earorce the prohibition law."
! While these two major encoun
ters were in progress, house wets
end drys Indulged Jn a round of
words on the floor over the pro-
nuunsemeni by the attorney gen
eral that he would Insist upon
government officers who believed
In and practiced prohibition.
Representative Cellar, demo
crat. New York, described this po
sition as a "silly ban and restric
tion saying it would have bar
red such men as Woodrow Wil
son. Warren G. Harding, Alfred
E. Smith and Newton D. Baker
from government service.
Representative Oliver, demo
fat, Alabama, replied that "In
wrtting that letter, Mr. Mitchell
las rendered a distinct service to
the American people." He added
that the attorney general "seeks
only to provide decent sobriety on
the part of those who hold com
mission sin that department."

that might arise from raising the
Immigration bars against Ingress
of Mexicans to the southwest was
made today to the house immi
gration committee.
As new predictions of industri

railroads of the southwest arose
in its hearings on legislation to
put western hemisphere immigra
tion on a quota' basis, Commis
sioner Darlla of Porto Rico pro
posed to it that natives of that
island, most ot whom are already
citizens ot the United States, be
brought in to relieve the farm la
bor shortage In the southwestern
states.
Davila made his proposal after
several witnesses representing
western railroads and south
western agriculture had pleaded
with the committee not to cut off
the supply of Mexican labor with
out considering where the farm
ers of that region were to go tor

In cast you should wonder
the picture at the Fox Eisinore is
an all talking picture with plenty
Of singing and "expressive
sounds" of Yarlous kinds which
you might be lead to expect from
a college campus with the inside
bf both a fraternity and sorority
house playing a big part in the
scenes.
Also it Is funny sometimes ri
diculously funny, and again very
humanly funny.' I should say
that moat of the fun Is very true
to college life. From the snorts
and hursts of laughter from two
college boys behind me at the ma
tinee Tuesday I am sure it must
be true. Just at the moment when
thought the fraternity house
stuff was being overdone they
were laughing th hardest they
must have recognized the truth- ot
the situation.
This picture should interest
folk from the age of twelve on to
the lively eighty-year old. This
is why. To the youngster It wil:
give an idea of college lire as
brother and sister live It to
brother and sister it will give an
idea of how they themselves look,
and to parents and grandparents
it will be "to wonder" how times
have changed, and yet not so
much after all for the same spir
it was in youth In the college days
of the older generation even as it
Is today a few more modern
conveniences that is all.
Elliott Nugent Is a hit of a dls-
sapointmeht a little bit stiff;
Robert Montgomery adds laurels
to the crown he started to decor
ate In "Untamed." Sally Stan
has pep and fire and -lots ot
youth. And you will be enthusi
astic about Cliff Edwards. In
fact there are several new faces
in this show which It is safe to
guess you will like a lot.
The plot seems a bit stilted in
spots and every now and then ap
proaches too near the edge of

good fun.
By the way there are two stage

Arrested Man Attempts to
Sue S, P. but Quits Due
To Fund Shortafle
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 21.
(AP Echoes of the famous
p'Autrtmont train- robbery and
murder trials and of the activi
ties, capture and conviction of the
Oregon" Jones gang In southern
Oregon were heard In federal dis
trict court hero today when Judge
John MeNary granted, a voluntary
nen-euit upon petition of attor
neys for H. C. Young In his 950,-
999 damage suit against - the
Southern Pacific Railway. In his
Complaint Young alleged he was
wrongfully held by agents of the
company and- by Ralph Jennings,
former sheriff of Jackson county,
Oregon, tor investigation in 1927,
In connection with the activities
of the two notorious outlaw
tangs.
B. F. Lindas, one of Young's
attorneys, said the case was non
suited because Young is stranded
In Medtord and has been unable
to raise funds necessary to pay
the expenses ot witnesses from
Grangerille, Idaho, and Medtord
to this city to testify.
Young charged that while -living
on a homestead near Grange
rille with his wife and three chil
dren he was arrested by Maurice
Cotturi and W. G. Chandler, spe
cial agents for the Southern Pac
ific company, and Sheriff Jen
nings without a warrant or prop
er authority.
The officers let it be known
about Grangeville, the complaint
charged, that Young was suspect
ed of being "powder man" and
leader ot tbt D'Autremont gang,
which wrecked a Southern Pacific
passenger train at the mouth of
a tunnel in the Siskiyou moun
tains. Young alleged he then was
brought to this city, subjected to
continued "third degree" ques
tioning, then was removed to Med
tord, where the questioning was
continued. He charged he was
held in Jail there for three
months, later being Indicted as a
member of the "Oregon" Jones
gang, which had perpetrated many
holdups in the Black hills of Ore
gon. Young alleged these acts caused
him to lose his homestead, his
family and his reputation.
In Its answer, the Southern
Pacific company declared Young's
arrest and detention was by due
process ot law and was carried out
by the proper authorities and not
by representatives of the company.
The "Oregon" Jones charges
against Young were finally dis
missed upon recommendation of
the district attorney of Jackson
county, the answer stated.
