It were well to remind him that his failure to conform with the result leaves all the governments free to reconsider his resignation." This is taken to mean that since Huerta has declined to abide by the results of the election, Great Britain no longer, feels bound to recognize his governmental acts as authoritative and will deal with a new situation.

The charges against Kellett will resolve into a question of evidence money and whether or not he appropriated any to his own use.

Those connected with the investigation seem to believe this is the strongest point against him, but exactly what the evidence is to substantiate it has not been given out. Commenting on the action of Sheriff Jarrett in reinstating McDuffie, Chairman Wirtz of the civil service commission said this morning: "I was a little disappointed to learn that McDuffie was reinstated without a hearing by the commission. It would possibly ha a been best for all concerned if this hearing had been held. But now that the matter has been settled, the commission will be able to keep a better eye on the de- partment."

L. HALSEY Attorney Lightfoot Asks Release of Japanese Said to Beriberi vr; In an affidavit filed in the U. 3. district court this morning Attorney Joseph Lightfoot makes a sensational though veiled charge against Immigration Inspector Richard L. to the effect that a Japanese detained at the immigration station since April 15 has become afflicted with beriberi, due, Lightfoot avers, to improper food and improper sanitation at the immigration station.

The attorney 'adds that Halsey, when asked If the man were so afflicted, declined to reply and refused to permit the patient's examination by an independent physician. Lightfoot further says that beriberi is fatal if remedial action is not taken in an early stage of the illness. The affidavit was filed with' written motion in which the court is asked to permit the man's release from the immigration station on bail, pending an appeal of his case from the local, tribunal to the United States circuit court or appeals, judge uiemons last Saturday denied Lightfoot's application for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the Japanese, Masusiehl Tanaka, is suffering from trachoma, a communicable disease. It Is from this decision that the attorney for the prisoner announces his appeal. Lightfoot made an oral annlication Satur day for his client's release under bond but it was danied and he now strengthens the application by the wnicn oy mierence would accuse the Immigration officials of gross negligence threatening death for the man detained in their care.

The attorney alleges in his affidavit that he asked the physician in charge at the immigration station on Saturday to examine Tanaka, with a view to ascertaining whether he still has the disease and if so whatprogress its cure is making. He says that on inquiry yesterday he was informed by Halsey that Tanaka still had it. He he lien asked if th man were inflicted by beriberi and Halsey reiuseet to answer. He then declares that he believes Tanaka have the malady and that he acquired it stneo his detention at the immigration station. U.

S. District Attorney Ti. W. Breckons, who now lays claim to being something of an expert on the subject of beriberi, following a four-days investigation of the disease lor the grand jury at Hilo just prior to his return home, says beriberi is due to insufficient nourishment and a too-extensive use of too highly poi ished rice. His statement is based largely on the report of the London Medical Society recently published in a medical book entitled "Tropical diseases." It is not a communicable malady, though it generally occurs in groups of cases, one or several "families' living in the same neighborhood under similar conditions.

The most highly polished rice is regarded by, the Japanese as the best quality of food and is the most expensive, but Breckons says it appears that the polishing process through which the grains are put tends to destroy much of nourishing ingredients of the cereal. i most proficient machine gun men in fcuith enlistment and was one of the best non-commissioned officers in the 25th.

Barron declares that the territorial organization and National Committeeman John H. Wilson are running party affairs in "altogether too high-handed a manner and without consulting the rank and file of the party," and he said yesterday that the county committee is about ready to take a stand in favor of a new deal.

"One of the principal objections we have to the territorial committee and to the national committeeman's work is that they do not allow the party in general to know what they are doing about patronage," he says. "They indorse candidates for office in secret and we are unable to find out what is going on. The county committee ight now does not know what the territorial committee's indorsements are. "Furthermore, we do not propose to stand for some of the candidates that-'the territorial committee is urging. We are tired of the present status of affairs and are going to insist on being consulted to a greater extent." One of the grievances of the county Barron-revealed, is that Sen.

James L. Coke did not get proper support in his candidacy for the IT. S. district attorneyship. Barron says that National Committeeman Wilson first indorsed Coke, then withdrew his indorsement and finally ended by working for F.
