1ST LEAVE STATE
LAW DEFIERS TO BE DRIVEN OUT
OF UTAH, SAYS GOV. SPRY.
WILL USE MILITIA.IF NEEDED
Declares if Officers Do Not Fulfill
Command, He Will Do it Himself.
Public Favors Move.
Salt Lake, Utah. — Joseph Hill
strom’s execution, which took place
here November 19, for the murder of
J. J- Morrison and Morrison’s son,
January 10, 1914, was followed by
Governor Spry’s announcement that
he would “clear the state of the law
less element that now infested it.”
“Every law-breaker, every man who
defies law and order, every man who
is opposed to law and order—call
themselves what they will—will be
driven out of the state,” he said. “1
am going to see that the work is
started at once. If the city officers
and others whose duty it is, do not
do so, I will do it myself. I am going
to see that inflammatory street speak
ing is stopped and at once, let them
call it by "free speech’ or any other
naru ethey wish.”
The governor said he did not be
lieve it would be necessary to use the
state militia, but that the militia
would be used if necessary to clean
the state of the men who have been
writing threatening letters and mak
ing incendiary speeches. It is known
that a considerable amount of evi
dence has been collected by the state
in the last five months, and the gover
nor said very emphatically that he in
tended to adopt drastic measures to
end the condition of alarm that has
existed here as a result of the agita
tion of the Hilstrom case. Local pub
lic sentiment appears to be strongly
in favor of the governor’s attitude.
Villa Denounces U. S.
Nogales, Ariz.—A proclamation at
tributed to Villa which was posted in
Nogales refers to President Wilson
as an “evangelistic professor of philo
sophy,” and declares that Mexico can
not be pacified by Carranza because
the people will not accept a govern
ment forced upon them by the United
States. “The proclamation is ad
dressed to my compatriots and the
people of the United States,” and
reads in part:
"The tyranny of the northern re
public places me in a position in
which it is necessary to make known
the facts. We went to the Washing
ton peace conference in good faith
and with the noble hope of terminat
ing the war and finding an honorable
and lasting peace. The Mexican peo
ple cannot be consolidated by the
Carranza government, because they
will not accept a government forced
upon them by Woodrow Wilson. Car
ranza practically delivered the entire
republic into the hands of the Yan
kees.”
Doctor Is Vindicated.
Chicago, 111.—Six physicians, com
posing a coroner's jury, held that Dr.
H. J. Haiselden, who permitted an in
fant, Allan John Bollinger, to die
when an operation might have saved
him to a life of unhappiness as a de
fective, was morally and ethically jus
tified in refusing to perform the oper
ation which his conscience did not
sanction. An implied disapproval of
a course wherein a physician might
determine if it was or was not desir
able for a patient to live was con
tained in the concluding paragraphs
of the verdict:
“We believe that the physician's
highest duty is to relieve suffering
and to save or prolong life.”
The jury was composed of some of
the best known physicians in Chi
cago. Dr. Haiselden in his testimony
said he did not reach his final decision
not to operate until he had consulted
fifteen practicing physicians, fourteen
of whom approved his course of let
ting the little life expire, he said.
The mother of the child, wife of a
well-to-do workman, mother of three
other children, all physically and men
tally normal, also agreed that the
baby would be better off dead, he de
clared.
“I did not operate, first, because of
the deformity of the child and sec
ond because of the seriousness of the
case,” he said. "I did not urge the
parents to follow my advice. I simp
ply gave my opinion as a consulting
surgeon. I was morally certain the
child would be a defective.”
