WALTON’S ATTORNEYS
ASK HIGH COURT TO
REVIEW IMPEACHMENT
Counsel for Ex-governor
Say He W z as Denied
Fair Hearing.
Washington. D. C. Dec. 22.—'
Formal application that the Supreme
< 'ourt of the Ignited States review the
impeachment of Governor AValton of
Oklahoma was made late today by
counsel for Walton. Decision was
deferred until the court resumed its
sessions in January. • >
A previous Attempt to have Justice
lan Do Venter order the review fail-
ed when the justice deferred action.
F. E Riddle and Henry JJartin
counsel for Walton in tlieir petition
to the court alleged that Walton was
denied a fair hearing. The Oklahoma
Senate which removed him from office
was charged with prejudice. Mem-
bers of botli House and Senate were
in a> conspiracy before the trial to
impeach and oust Walton the attor-
neys charged. •
The Ku Klux Klpn. the petitioner
charged gained control of Oklahoma's
state government. In support of this
alleged klan activities including flog-
gings Avere cited to the court.
Walton proved the conspiracy by
evidence presented during uis trini
his counsel said but because of the
prejudice and the conspiracy itself he
pas denied n fair hearing.
“He is entitled to a judicial trial
and an opportunity to bo tried by
judges unprejudiced and qualified to
sit.” his attorneys nrgued. Walton's
trial before the Legislature was “no
more nor no less than a par^r having
his case prejudged by' conspirators
utmer an agreement unlawfully to re-
move him" the petitioner added.
The Supreme-Court it was argued
should review the case in order that
petitioner may not be degraded from
his high office with nil the attendant
dishonor disgrace and financial in-
jury by super-government preiudg-
jnent or conspiracy; that the will of
n sovereign people shall not 6c strick-
en down by the secret influence of
any “anipire. visible or invisible."
Because of the iinpeachnipnt the
petitioner's brief said the state of
Oklahoma and its people have been
made subject to “insurrection nnarchy
nnd their attendant evils and sub-
jected to the government-nnd domina-
tion of the secret society known as
the Knights of the Kit Klux Klan
nnd the invisible empire and that the
will of people of'Oklnhoma. regu-
larly ascertained and declared at their
ejection has been set nt naught nulli-
fied and stricken down and Oves
come. ”

PATERNITY OF CHILD
WILL BE PROBED
IN DANCER’S SUIT
• -
Evat Burroughs Fontaine
Given Chance to Prove
Her Charges in Court.
Albany. N. Y. Dec. 22.—Justice Ellis
J. Staley in Albany today opened the
door for a thorough legal probe into
the paternity of the son of Evan Bur-
roughs Fontaine in her $1000000
breach of promise suit against Corne-
lius Vanderbilt Whitney son of rfarry
Payne Whitney.
The determination of the paternity
of the child will be one of the piv-
otal points upon which the action will
hinge. Miss Fontaine alleges Whit-
noy is the father of the child and much
of the evidence' to sustain her case
will center around this question.
Judge Staley cleared the way by
dismissing a previous ‘decision in su-
preme court in Haraioga Springs at
the request of Charles Firestone of
New York attorney for Miss Fon-
taine. ✓
This will have two effects. It will
divest the action of a number of tech-
nical entanglements in which it has
become enmeshed and will permit a
Jlew action on the same state of facts
to be started in Westchester coun-
ty. the present home of Miss Fontaine.
So complex have been these entan-
glements that the case never reached
actual trial. Charge of fraud have
been burled from both aides and much
time has been consumed in settling
these.
“Sonnt” Whitney the alleged father
of the child will be served with a
summons and complaint in which all
the charges cited in the original sum*
mon£ will be reiterated. Unless again
interrupted by legal pitfalls the. ac-
tion may reach trial in White Plains
Westchester county in the spring.
Miss Fontaine’s present marital
status .was argued before Judge Staley
and Attorney Firestone moved for the
dismissal nf the old action. Outerbridge
attorney for Whitney opposed
the motion claiming the dancer is stili
married and had no legal right to sue
Whitney. He argued that if the old
action is dismissed a new one will be
brought by Miss Fontaine to “perse-
cute’ and “harass” his client without
anv hope of recovery.
Mr. Firestone contended the previ-
ous marriage of Mias Fontaine had
been annulled and she has every legal
right and good cause to bring action.

MEXICAN CONGRESSMEN TELL
WHY THEY OPPOSE OBREGON;
CALL DELA HUERTA “CHIEF”
— *
President More Interested in Candidacy of Calles
Than in Enforcing Nation’s Constitutional Gov-
ernment Assert Members of Chamber of
Deputies in New Proclamation.
Supporting Adolfo Dela Huerta in
revolution against I’n-sident Obregon
members of the Mexican Chamber of
Deputies have issued a proclamation in
which they condemn Obregon and call
upon the nation to support the effort
now being made to remove him from
office. A copy of the proclamation
which was issued at Vera Cruz De-
cember 19 was issued Saturday night
by Ruben Vizcarra speaker of the
Chamber of Deputies who has operfed
an office in San Antonio as the repre-
sentative of Dela Huerta. The procla-
mation follows:
Proclamation to the Nation.
"We the undersigned members of
the Co-operatist majority of the Cham-
ber of Deputies of the XXX Legisla-
ture of the Union complying with onr
most sacred duties as representatives
of the Mexican nation have resolved
to address the people of the republic
loyally and patriotically stating the
reasons for the attitude of the parlia-
mentary majority as regards the revo-
lutionary movement initiated at -Vera
Cruz and which is now manifest
throughout the national territory.
“The president of the republic has
for many months failed absolutely to
respect the freedom of the munici-
pality the fundamental basis of our
democratic function; thereby threaten-
ing the existence of the entire popu-
lar representative organization of our
government which organization guides
the destinies of the nation.
"To the ousting of constitutional
boards of aidermen ordered by un-’
scrupulous governors the president or-
dered flagrant violations of the sov-
ereignty of the states. Useless were
the decisions of the supreme court in
the cases of the states of Nuevo Leon.
Michoacan and San Lbis Potosi. Use-
less were the expretudcommands of the
national senate in relation to the elec-
tion of deputies to the congress of the
State of Zacatecas and useless also
were the indisputable constitutional
prerogatives of the government of tbe
state of Coahuila which was deposed
by the cruel and tyrannic..! hand of
the president in obedience only .to ego-
. tistieal and unilatcrial political in-
terests.
"Foreseeing the danger of an armed
conflict the parliamentary majority of
the Chamber of Deputies appealed to
all (institutional resources and pro-
tested opportunely against these un-
surpassable abuses nnd made desper-
ate efforts to prevent such conflict but
unfortunately th* warning of the na-
tional representation was not heeded.
“In its action the Legislature was
inspired by the needs of the nation;
the healing of the wounds caused by
internal strife this healing being at-
tainable only through justice liberty
and organic pence.
“Gen. Albaro Obregon in the capac-
ity of chief executive of the federa-
tion. proved that lie was more interest-
ed in matters purely politico-electoral
favoring the presidential candidacy of
Gen. Plntarro Elias Calles Übnn in
those governmental functions that the
Mexican people had confided to 'his in-
telligence care nnd patriotism.
‘•Thus when the political atmo-
sphere of the country had become
charged by the innumerable violations
of the suffrage througliout the republic
and when in the national representa-
tion the tension provoked hy these vio-
lations was tempestuous and uncontain-
able the first magistrate went so far
as to dare to protect the criminal nets
of certain subordinate military com-
manders as in the case of Gen. Ar-

THE SAN
nulfo R. Gomes commander of opera-
tions in the Valley of Mexico and gar-
rison commander of the capital who
prepared to assassinate in mass the
members of the Co-operatasta block in
the very House of Representatives.
“Gen. Alvaro Obregon consented to
anil ordered the arrest of federal legis-
lators and of constitutional governors
us in the case of Froylan C. Manjar-
rez Francisco P. Mugicn and Frahcis-
eo^lamirez Luque constitutional gov-
ernors respectively of the state of
Puebla Michoacan and Queretaro.
These sueceswive acts have forged an
opprobious chain which the Mexican
people will break even at th. cost of
• its blood.
“Vain indeed would have been the
sacrifice of so many lives during the
thirteen years that the country .hus
suffered internal warfare if the revo-
lutionaries of yesterday did not rally
to defend today the sacred postulates
which are again being trampled by the
monstrous attitude of the president.
"The national spirit rises unani-
mously to combat the dastardly proce-
dure of him who having once borne
the standard of effective suffrage to-
day dishonors his name and .his past
by enforcing the most cynical brutal
and btoodytof impositions.
"Conaideriitg the above mentioned
facts nnd in full accord with the proc-
lamation of Adolfo Dela Huerta sub-
scribtvj in the port of Vera .Cruz we
resolve:
“First: That- since in the City of
Mexico the executive does not extend
the protection necessary for the proper
and independent functioning of the
Legislature of the union the. seat of
the upper and lower houses be moved
to the port of Vera Cruz with the pur-
pose of electing the personnel of the
permanent commission for the.recess of
the federal lijislatlire.
"Second : The members of the Sen-
ate are invited to second this attit<de
in defense of their own sovereignty
for which purpose we allow a period
of fifteen days counted from the day
of this proclamation.
“Third: The plan of Vera Cruz
signetl by Adolfo Dela Huerta the sev-
enth of December <lf this year is here-
by approved in nil terms.
“Fourth: Adolfo Dela Huerta is
hereby recognized as supreme chief of
the revolution.

UNABLE TO FIND CLUE
Promised Clients They
Would Get Rich Off
Panama Oil Wells.
•
।
Chicago Dec. 22.—Leo Koretz. the
mail who sold ?1000()000 wortli of
stock in a Panama alligator swamp
i and promised his clients they would
। get rich from oil wells that never
existed is still missing tonight.
Investigators working under State’s
Attorney Robert E. Crowe announced
that they had run down a score of
"tips” as to Koretz's whereabouts but
were unable to locate him. They will
begin nil over again they said’ piec-
ing together ‘’bit by bit” the story
of Koretz's operations in the hope
they may get some clue as to the
■course ot his flight.
Have No Clues.
“We believe that Koretz must have
told someone his plans in the event
In's /raud was discovered” Stanley
Klarkowski one of Crowe's assistants
stated.
"We hope to find some such per-
son and thus learn in what direction
he has fled.”
Klntkowaki said he believed that
a man capable of operating such n
tremendous fraud as that perpetrated
by Koretz would have lai(L careful
plans for escape.
“It is herd to believe that anyone
who had successfully swindled hun-
dreds of persons out of millions^of
dollars would fail to make good plans
foi; escape” Klarkowski said.
“I do not believe he fled in a
hurry but disappeared at a certain
time he had set —a time which he
felt would give him plenty of oppor-
tunity to make good bis escape.
‘•Tips’’ No Good.
Tips purporting to be “sure fire”
information as to Koretz's where-
labouts enme into the state's attorney’s
office by the score during the past
week. They variously reported
Koretz in Texas. California New
York. Michigan. Egypt nnd Canada.
Although investigation of these ad-
vices had not halted Klarkowski said
he was prepared to “start all over
_ again in the hope of striking a rea-
sonable trail.”
