LINK EX-GOVERNOR
i IN COUNTERFEITING
Indictments Charge Florida
Former Executive in
$1,000,000 Plot.
B r the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 10.—
Sidney J. Catts, sr„ former Governor
of Florida, and a Baptist minister, today
faced arrest on charges of -aiding and
abetting an alleged million-dollar coun
terfeiting ring.
Two Federal indictments Unking the
former governor with financing a coun
terfeiting conspiracy were returned here
yesterday. Others named in the indict
ments were Julian Diaz, Tampa attor
ney, arrested recently in Miami; Mateo
Mir, Armando Dominguez and Madeline
Leah Burwell, Diaz’s former secretary.
With the return of the indictment Judge
Lake Jones set bond at $35,000 for Diaz,
alleged head of the syndicate, and $17,-
600 each for the others.
Catts is alleged to have furnished
$5,000 to the ring to finance the pur
chase of printing presses and equip
ment, with the understanding that he
was to receive $25,000 of the counter
feit money as his part in the invest
ment, the indictments charge.
Woman Causes Arrest.
Diaz was arrested in Miami when he
Is said to have attempted to pass a
spurious SIOO note through his secretary,
Miss Burwell. When detected, the wom
an led Federal operatives to Diaz’s hotel,
where he was arrested. He claimed, the
officers said, that he received notes
from a Tampa bank.
Diaz and the former governor were
said to have been great friends, Diaz
being one of his warmest supporters
during the recent State primary, when
Catts sought renomination to the office
of governor, which he held from 1916
to 1920. It was brought out that Catts
as a minister recently baptized one of
Diaz's children in Tampa.
The Government charges that Catts
and Diaz made their arrangements in
the deal in Tallahassee last December.
Catts could not be reached at his home,
at Defuniak Springs, early today. A
capias for his arrest was expected to
be served this morning.
The former governor, Long, has been
prominently identified in Florida poli
tics. When he was elected governor in
1915 he bolted the Democratic party,
after hating been beaten in the pri
mary, and made a State-wide race on
an independent ticket. He was elected
by a large majority. During the re
cent campaign he ran second in a
field of five candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination.
Os the five persons named in the
indictments only two had been arrest
ed. The exact status of Miss Burwell
was not known, as she was released
following her arrest in Miami. Diaz
and Dominguez were in jail in Tampa.
Mir also was believed to be in Tampa
and his arrest was expected shortly.
Alleged Distribution Plan.
Former Gov. Catts was known to the
ring, the indictments charge, as Gato,
a Spanish word meaning cat. The in
dictments list him as Catts. alias Gato.
The plot was uncovered by Federal
operatives working out of Atlanta, when
numerous SIOO notes were reported in
circulation in Florida and New York.
Catts, according to Government
agents, had a working arrangement
with a New York bank teller through
whom all counterfeit money made by
the syndicate was put into circulation.
They said Catts was dissatisfied with
the appearance of the first run of bills
made by Diaz and demanded that more
perfect ones be produced.
Catts is considered a large property
wwner in the western part of the State.

Florida Governor Says.
DEFUNIAK SPRINGS. Fla., April 10
OP).—"lt’s all a frame-up,” former Gov.
Sidney J. Catts declared this morning
when Informed that a Federal grand
jury had indicted him at Jacksonville
on charges of aiding and abetting a
counterfeiting ring.
"Diaz and those people have tried
tq frame me before because I would
not let them have any money,” said
Catts, who issued an emphatic denial
that he had contributed $5,000 to the
alleged counterfeiting operations as
changed by Federal agents.
’ These people have tried to frame
me*l9 times before."

PUASEjmRE
EVACUATE JUAREZ
AND CHIHUAHUA
Rebels Expected to Make
Stand in Nogales—Esco
bar in Sonora.
(Continued From First Page.)
Caraveo’s long train departed, citizens
of Juarez met last night and formed a
vigilance committee to preserve order.
Two machine guns were mounted on an
automobile, which patrolled the streets
throughout the night. >
At Ojlnaga, opposite Presidio, Tex„
federal forces were said to be strongly
entrenched in expectation of an attack
from rebel cavalry. Gen. Ramon Lopes
and staff reached there late yesterday
and assumed command of the garrison,
which until Sunday’s skirmish had been
enrolled under the revolution’s banner.
He made the trip through the United
States by automobile, crossing over at
Presidio.
ESCOBAR AT AUGA PRIETA.
Followers Pour Into State From Two
Directions.
NACO, Ariz., April 10 OP).—Gen. J.
Gonzalo Escobar, revolutionary com
mander ni chief, assumed epraonal com
mand of rebel armies in Sonora today
as his forces, retreating from Chihuahua
and Sinaloa, came pouring into the
state from two directions. Apparently
they were heading for Naco, Sonora,
held by a little garrison of federal
soldiers.
Gen. Escobar arrived at Agua Prieta,
16 miles east of here, last night by air
plane, having flown from Casas
Grandes, Chihuahua. He was met by
Gen. Fausto Topete, rebel commander,
who has repeatedly attacked the Naco
garrison without success. Topete's
troops remained encamped Just south
of the garrison.
Chlchuahua Army Follows.
Behind Escobar was his Chihuahua
army, the advance 'guard of which was
reported to be moving through Pulplto
Pass, the only convenient route through
the mountains that divide Chihuahua
and Sonora.
On the other side of Naco, rebel
troops retreating from Sinaloa were
moving closer to the federal border gar
rison. which is menaced by rebel forces
on three sides, with Arizona to the
north. Early today several hundred
rebel soldiers and four 75-millimeter
guns were reported to have passed
through Nogales, Sonora, en route to
Naco.
Reports reached the little town of
Sasbe, Sonora, held by 45 rebel soldiers,
that a federal force under the com
mand of Gen. Abelardo Rodriguez, was
marching east from Baja California to
reinforce the Naco loyal garrison. A
squad of United States infantrymen
camped at Sasbe, Ariz., said they had
checked the movement of these federal
troops with a field radio set as far as
San Miguel, Sonora.
With the arrival at Agua Prieta of
the rebel commander-in-chief the in
ternational line from Naco, Ariz., to
Douglas. Ariz.. was being closely pa
trolled by United States cavalrymen.
Eighteen United States Army air
planes from Fort Huachuca, Ariz., flew
along the border line between Douglas
and Nogales yesterday.
Two armored tanks left by the forces
of Gen. Topete just outside the Naco
trenches when the rebels withdrew from
the attack on Naco last Saturday were
still there today. It was believed that
federal soldiers hesitated to attempt to
move them for fear they are mined.
PREPARE FOR LAST STAND.
Rebels Lay Concrete Foundations at
Nogales.
NOGALES, Ariz., April 10 OP).—lndi
cations that the Mexican revolutionary
forces were preparing for a last stand
against the federal armies at the No
gales. Sonora, reb&l stronghold, appeared
today.
Rebel troops were busy laying concrete
foundations for artillery pieces hard by
the American border. Two emplace
ments were located on high hills east
national line. Two others were being
set up on hilltops about a mile south of
the brder.
Fur 75-millimeter (3-inch) guns
were said to be In the vicinity of the
emplacements. Whether these were the
four guns which were reported to have
passed through Mexican Nogales yester
day was not known. Rebel leaders at
that time said the four pieces were be
ing moved toward Naco, Sonora, 23 miles
east of here. Naco is in the hands of
the federals.
The preparations at Nogales, Sonora;
the arrival of Gen. J. Gonzalo Escobar,
rebel commander-in-chief, at Agua
Prieta, 39 miles east of here, last night,
and the retreat of rebel armies into
Sonora from two directions convinced
border observers that the revolutionaries
were expecting to line up along the
border for what may be the final phase
of the uprising.
Whether the rebels will attempt to
clear the International border of their
federal foes before the expected stand
at Nogales remained an enigma to ob
servers. Several complications appeared
in the offing.
Naco, Sonora, Is held by about 1,000
loyal troops under Gen. Lucas Gon
zalez. Gen. Fausto Topete, rebel com
mander, with forces said to number
2,000, has attacked the little garrison
several times without success. Being
able to advance upon the garrison from
the south only, his forces have fired
Into American territory. This brought
18 American fighting planes and a force
of United States Cavalry to the border
with orders to prevent further firing
Into this country. Since then Topete
has hesitated to attack for fear that
some of his bullets might stray across
the line and draw the fire of the Ameri
can Army forces.

A statement explaining the ouster

No self-respecting profession tolerates

sician to be connected directly with an

Dr. Schmidt's connection with the
Public Health Institute caused the

to discipline him in the way it has

Dr. Prank R. Morton, president of the

Ouster from the Chicago Medical
Society ordinarily means similar action
by State and National medical organi
zations, It was pointed out at the
meeting. It also was stated that lead
ing hospitals might decline to receive
patients from a physician ostracized
by the society. In the case of Dr.
Schmidt, because of his pre-eminence
as a doctor, it was generally believed
no such action would be taken until
his appeal to the State society had
been acted upon.

day in an attempt to show that Hardy
tried to intimidate a potential witness
against the evangelist.
Walter J. Little, chairman of the
Assembly moard of managers prosecut
ing the case, announced that Wallace
Moore, Santa Barbara newspaper man,
would be called.
Nature of Testimony.
Moore recently declared under oath
that he had tentatively identified a
woman in the company of Kenneth G.
Ormiston at Carmel, Calif., as Mrs.
McPherson. This was nearly three
years ago, during the time the evan
gelist was missing.
The neswpaper man said Judge Hardy
warned him that he would be subject
to libel action if he falsely identified
any one in such a case. This was ex
pected to be the substance of Moore's
testimony. Moore was to have been
l called yesterday, but the prosecution
was able to question but five witnesses
during the day.
Probe of Kidnaping.
Three of these witnesses, Frank
Dewar, Frank Moore and J. W.
Buchanan gave testimony relative to
an investigation of Mrs. McPherson's
kidnaping story following her disap
pearance. The* articles of impeachment
filed again Judge Hardy state that he
had charge of this investigation and
that this interest on his part was an
apparent attempt to obstruct justice
during probes being conducted by the
Los Angeles County grand Jury and
district attorney's office.
Buchanan testified that when he was
hired by Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother
of Mrs. McPherson, and by Judge Hardy
to make investigations in Carmel it
was with the understanding that re
ports were to be made to Hardy.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
FACESI.C.C. CHARGE
Anti-Trust Law Complaint
Orders Road to Appear at
Hearing May 20.
By th« Associated Press.
A complaint charging the Southern
Railway system with violating the anti
trust laws by acquiring control of the
Mobile Sc Ohio Railroad was Issued to
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on Its own motion. The rail
road was ordered to appear at a hear
ing here May 20.
In addition the commission com
plaint challenged the validity of the
Southern's control of the New Orleans
Sc Northeastern Railroad, which it ac
quired by purchase in 1916.
Restraining Charge Listed.
“The effect of the acquisition of the
New Orleans Sc Northwestern Railroad,”
the commission said, “may be to sub
stantially lessen competition between
the Southern Railway, the Mobile Sc
Ohio and the New Orleans Sc North
eastern and to restrain commerce in
certain sections and communities.
“The Southern Railway Co. is hereby
notified that the charges of this com
plaint will be heard by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in Washington
on May 20, at which time and place
respondent shall have a right to appear
and show cause why an order should not
be entered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission requiring it to divest itself
of all interest, direct or indirect, in the
capital stock and bonds of the Mobile
Sc Ohio Railroad and the capital stock
of the New Orleans Sc Northeastern
Railroad now unlawfully held.”
N. O. Sc N. Is Small Line.
The New Orleans Sc Northeastern,
also mentioned, is a small line which
has been operated since its purchase as
a part of the Southern system. The
matter of the Mobile Sc Ohio control
was first brought to the commission by
complaints of business interests and
municipal authority at Mobile.
The commission followed up the orig
inal petition by an investigation which
resulted in the issuance today of its
own complaint.
