Negro Paroled By Woman
Governor Is Charged With
Bootlegging $300,000 Is
Raised for Special Session
to Consider Impeachment.
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 30. (A. P.)
intimation that a fund of $300,
000 had been pledged to defray the
cost of a special legislative session,
marked the Sunday interim in the
Texas political situation along with
the governor's liquor law proclama
tion, the filing of charge against
a negro butler ut tho executive
mansion. 1
lteports of the fund raising fol
lowed declarations of Speaker Lee
Satterwhite that the expenses of the
session would be cured for, Mr.
Batterwhito is leader of the move-'
ment to bring official acts of Gov
ernor Miriam A, Ferguson's adminis
tration before tho legislature George
itrady, the butter, who said ho was
the beneficiary of an extended parole
and conditional pardon from Gov
ernor Ferguson, was arrested when
officers said he was attempting to
sell liquor to white men on a street
corner. Charges of possessing liquor
for sale were made against him.
Another negro In whose automobile
officers found a supply of whiskey
also was arrested.
The political row appeared ready
to produce fresh fireworks today but
what the new week would bring,
none would attempt to say.
Those who have followed the poli
tical fortunes of James E. Ferguson,
husband of Governor Miriam A. Fer
guson, since his hnpenrhmeut in his
second term as governor about eight
years "ago, are inclined to' look for
unexpected moves on his part.
Ferguson, who once ran for presl
dent as tho leador of tho American
party, has always commanded a
strong following in Texas, even when1
his political career Heemed lowest.
His aggressive attacks on his enemies
ami tactics of assault on their moHt
vulnerable spots long have been
known. His abillly also to turn at
tention In the direction he wished
has stood him In good stead. 1
Whether his political c n c m I o b
would regard the offer of the gov
ernor made Saturday to pay ft. re
ward of $500 for the arrest and con
viction for the violation of the liquor
law or any Texan worth as much as
$5000 as a screen to turn public at
tention somewhere from tho agita
tion for a special session of the legis
lature to Investigate state depart
ments had not been made known
by them.
Texas newspapermen, accused by
Mr. Ferguson of suppressing vital
parts of Governor Ferguson's liquor
reward proclamation have informed
him that there was no stated "agree
ment" to do such, as ho insinuated.
He was told that the Texas reporters
would not handle tho portions In
question because they considered
them "actionable, under Texas libel
laws," The extracts referred to con
cerned prominent men unnamed but
possible to identify by the illusions.
Lee Satterwhlte, speaker of the
Jiouse, who says he wilt call a special
session of tho legislature by Decem
ber 15 to meet probably January 4,
if tho governor does not do so by
December 10. was on his way home

LEGAL ACTION
Nippon Refuses to Let Toledo
Deportation Go By Default
Governor Pierce Agrees
to Grand Jury Action in
February Witnesses to Be
Called. .
KALKM,- Ore., Nov. 30. Deporta
tion "of Jnpanese from Toledo, Lincoln
county, by citbtens of that place last
Kummcr, Is to be sifted by a grund
Jury In February, 1926.
This is the development after a
three-cornered correspondence by K.
Midzusawa, Japnncso consul nt I'ort
uaud; Governor IMcrco and Karl J.
Conrad, district attorney for Lincoln
county. . '
The Japanoso government appar
ently Is nor taking tho affair lightly
and is not disposed to forget It. Under
dato of November 19, Midzusawa
wroto Governor Pierce asking infor
mation on the following two points
on which the Japanese government
had Instructed him to report:
"The result of tho Investigation
made by the authorities con
cerned In regard to tills matter."
"The present stage of tho
prosecution proceedings of the
persons who participated In tho
affair."
No prosecution being under .way.
Governor Pierce under dato of No
vember 1!1 wrote a three line letter to
District Attorney Conrad asking for
a dotalted report on the status of the
affair. .
On November 28. Conrad replied
to the governor as follows:
"I am in receipt of your leltor
of November 'Jl, requesting a de
tailed statement of the condition
of affairs relative to tho Japa- .
.H,f) situation -at Toledo'. I beg '
to -upologb.o for. not giving this
matter sooner attention, but an
Illness of several days has kept
mo away from my office. ..
"As to the present condition
of affairs In regard to tho above
matter, I beg to submit the fol
lowing: No prosecution as yet
hits developed from this Inci
dent. . 1 had intended to submit
the matter to tho grand jury at
the last term of tho circuit court
in this county but owing to tho
shortage of time the matter was
not tuken up.
"The grand Jury for . Lincoln
county will be in session in the
first part of February. 1U26, at
which time I expect to submit
evidence and subpoena sufficient
witnesses to have the matter ful
ly presented to tho grand Jury.
"This In brief lu the stntus of
tho situation at present and I
shall be more than pleased to
furnlsho you Information nt any.
time and upon any phase of this
matter that is within my know
ledge." On Novrmber 30 Governor
' Plerco Wrote Mldzuawa, simply
quwtlng tho above letter from
Conrad and on tho sumo day tho.
governor wrote Conrad approv
ing nn Investigation and urging
that it bo done as soon us possi
ble. ,
This series of letters was preceded
by auothor series last summer, Imme
diately after tho Toledo nffair, be
tween the governor and II. Okamoto,
who was then consul nt Portland.
On July 14. Okamoto wroto tho
governor asking an investigation of
tho nffair and the governor, who was
then In eastern Oregon, also received
several telegrams urging n probe. On
July 16 tho governor wroto Okamoto
that he had sent his secretary. W. A.
Delzell, nnd C. II. Gram, state labor
commissioner to Toledo trf investi
gate, that they had been Informed by
tnc district uttorney that warrants
fgr arrest hnd been issued against
several of tho persons Implicated in
the removal of tho Japancso and that
tho law would take Its course in tho
case. A second lettor was recolved
by tho governor under date of Julv
17, again urging a thorough Investi
gation and urging that tho governor
take oil measures to protect tho pro
perty and porsons of Japaneso resi
dents In Oregon who Wore engaged in,
lawful occupations.
Nothing further was heard ot tho
affair until the recent Inquiry made
by Consul Midzusawa.
Whilo Gram and Delzell wero nt
Toledo a large delegation of Toledo
men nnd women who ; sympathised
with the deportation were given a
heailng In the governor's of rice.
Tho deportntlon resulted from the
employment of Japanese by tho Pa
cific Hpruoo corporation mill at To
ledo, which tho Incensed citizens
claimed militated against local labor.
I nthe hoarlng before the governor
they elslmed that tho deportation
was peaceful and that no violence
had been attempted against tho
Japaneso.
The Japanese were yut In automo
biles and taken to Curvallls.

MARRIAGE TRIAL
DEFENSE RESTS.
BRIDE WEEPS
Notorious Rhmclander Annul
ment Case May Go to Jury
Tonight Plaintiff Surprised
By Attorney's Action in Not
Calling On Defendant.
WHITE PLAINS. N. V., Nov. 30. .
(A. I.) Tho defense In the thine-.
lander annulment suit rested Its case
five minutes after court convened
this morning without calling to the
stand Alice Heatrice Jones, defendant
In the proceedings.
Tho case may reach the jury by
tonight. It has been In progress
three weeks.
Mrs. Ooorgo Jones, mother of Alice
was recalled briefly to the stand this
morning to testify whether Alice's
body wuh the siime color at her birth
as It Is now. She asserted that It
was. Lee I'nrsnns Davis, counsel for
tho defense turned to Justice Mnrsch
nuser after Mrs. Jones had left the
stand and said:
'Acting on -my own responsibility
nnd on my experience us an attorney
the defense now rests.'
T.ho announcement cnused surprise
as it had been believed that other
witnesses were to be caUed;
Young Khinelnnder was rem lied to
the stand by his attorneys. Ho made
a sweeping denial of the testimony of
Hons Chldester, former chnuffeur of
the Ithinelander r.tnujy. Chidest er
had said that he told young Khine
lnnder of Alice's negro blood before
the latter married her, but t hat
Rhlnolnnder had retorted, "I don't
give n damn."
Following his denial of Chldcstor'n
testimony, Ithinelander was cross
examined by Davis In nn effort to
show thiit Ithinelander und the for
mer chauffeur hud been .on Intimate
terms. Ithinelander testified that
Chldester had driven him uyd Alice
to the Hotel .Murio Antoinette on the
occasion of their first visit thera be
fore their marriage, but that he hnd
given no thought to tho chauffeur's
knowledge of his Intimate relations
with the girl. Six weeks' Inter, lie
said, he Icnrncd that. Chldester had
related the Incident to Ithlnelander's
father.
Just before tho noon rocess, TJnvIs
moved tojmve struck from the record
any representatlnns as to color h I
leged to httvc been inndo by the Jones
family . subsequent to October 1 I.
U24, the date of Ithlnelander's tnsr-
rlage to Alice. Tho court ruled that
the testimony should stand but that It
could bo used only for the limited
object of showing Intent, If any,' to
defraud, prior to the marrlugc.
Davis begun his summation before
tho Jury Immediately after the court
convened fur the afternoon session.
Alice wopt copiously us he referred to
the ordeal through which she hud
gone during the trial. At one point
in his address ho declared that the
plaintiff Jias'tom from her ruthless
ly ewy scrap of respectability," lie
pictured himself ns "tho only one to
