the bill a. hearing on which is being

of the session being called and telling
of the letter received from the Mann»

the damage caused by pollution to the

he explained that in 1913 Connecticut

VERA CRUZ. April 5.—Linn A. E.
Gale. an American radical. who arriv-
ed here yesterday following the issu-
ance of orders for his expulsion from
Mexico. was put on a train bound for
Guatemala this morning. Gale, who
was accompanied to this city from the
Capitol by his wife and three secret
service detectives. begged the Mexican
authorities not to send him to the
United States. where he believed he
would be placed under arrest.
Assertions that influential friends
were making an effort to secure his
freedom were made yesterday by Gale
when he was interviewed by “The As—
sociated Press." He said that Luis
Morones. leader of the Mexican Feli-
eratlon of Labor. and Celestino Gasca.
Governor of the Federal district. were.
negotiating for his release. but con-
firmation of these declarations could
not be secured by the correspondent.
Gale was rather evasive during the in—

not Gale. but “\Vurtenberfeld." 'H'e
declared he was a German and that
his wife. whose given name is \Vil-
helmina was also of that nationality.
