Devine's closing discussion, on Tuesday afternoon, was devoted to the consideration of specific cases of criminality, poverty, and in Utah and Idaho. In one case of unusual moral depravity occurring in Salt Lake county, reported by Prof. Enoch Jorgensen, the officers, when taken no action. appealed themselves with saying contenting -Bring us tne evidence, and we'll take the matter up." The evidence, according to the statement of the case, should have been easily pro cured. In his mid-dalecture before the summer school students of Toung university on Tuesday, Dr. Devlne urged that the United States should recognize the soviet government of Russia, we have no right to with hold recognition, he held, because of the form of Russia's internal government. It is the right of every people to determine for them selves the form of government they shall have. Independent of outside views. He believed that the soviet government had received the sup port of the peasants, not because they were in favor of industrial communism, but because they ad hered to the principle of peasant ownership of land. Dr. Devine de plored the mischievous cartoon of the Russian revolutionist as wild simple-mindedne- to,-ha- y eyed, long-haire- d ao-elr- - - - - The motion was carried unanimously. Wilford M. Dean, superintendent of the Metropolitan Lite insurance company, was appointed chairman of the general committee In charge of collections of delinquent dues. "I am well satisfied with the result of today's meeting," Mr. Pierpont said. "It awoke a fighting spirit in the organisation, a spirit which can put the program over, and make this city take rank with the best in the country." gram. J Provo Observes Flag Day With Parade and Program The strange thing about this fight over a child is that the iMassachu-sett- s courts six years ago decreed Mrs. Ormsbee the mother and that only recently has Miss Towner come forward with her claim. Nor is Dorothy's parenthood a subject for court decision now. Miss Towner's claim, failing to receive the support of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which in 1916 forced the Ormsbees into court to establish their claim, took the dramatic method of reopening the case by drinking poison in a downtown office building. The attempted suicide occurred outside the office of A L. Stinson, attorney for Ormsbee, and imme- daitely focused attention upon the case. Wants Legal Hearing. Miss Towner, pale and haggard from the effects of the poison. waits in the home of relatives in Jamaica Plains, hoping for a chance to obtain a legal hearing of her assertion that she is Dorothy's mother. She says her child was placed in an institution in Montreal and later given to the Ormsbees. The coincidence is that Mrs. Ormstoee's child was born in Montreal In the same apartment house in which Miss Towner lived. But IMrs. Qrmsbee insists she was never in the institution named in her life. Fearing for the safety of Dorothy and herself, Mrs. Ormsbee has Just applied to the courts for the appointment cf commission to inquire into Miss Towner's sanity. "I feel sorry for her," Mrs. Ormsbee said." "She lias aiwtby- - craving, born no doubt of love for a child that died in infancy. Records in the Montreal institution show that her baby died when three weeks old. Why should she claim my child? Why should she wait all these years? I never saw her and never even heard of her until she tried to commit suicide last month." Doubt About Recognition. Attorney Stinson says Miss Towner claimed she knew Mrs. Ormsbee and that she saw her with Baby Dorothy in a Boston theater last February. But Mrs. Ormsbee produced hotel bills to show she was in cities other than Boston at that time. As a climax to this de-- J SPEAR on COLTON, Harmon, piled States.

Miss Towner refuses to say what method she plans to use to obtain ' custody of the child. "But I'm going to have my baby," she said. Thomas A. Lothrop, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said he investi gated Miss Towner s charges in Montreal and that as a result he and the district attorney in Boston came to the conclusion that the charges were not substantiated. Mrs. Ormtbee's Fight. The society first entered into the case six years ago when Dorothy, then an infant, was left by Mrs. Ormsbee in the hands of a Boston nurse. The society took the child and when Mrs. Ormsbee reappeared she had .to carry her legal fight to the Massachusetts supreme court to obtain custody. Mrs. Ormsbee has extremely blonde hair and blue eyes. So has Dorothy. Miss Towner is dark. A Montreal man was the father of Miss Towner's child, according to her statements to Secretary Lothrop. W.

Mr. Spear reports that the convention was one continual round of good fellowship and that it far exceeded his first anticipations. Delegates from more than 26 countries were represented at the convention and a spirit of internationalism pervaded all of the meetings. According to Mr. Spear, most of the speakers at the convention emphasized the necessity of Rotary to encourage and foster the spirit of internationalism as the only means by which to regain the equilibrium of the world and maintain that equilibrium. Members of Rotary throughout the civilized world will work untiringly to this end during the coming year. From the reports given at the convention it was evident, said Mr. Spear, that the organization had done an enormous work in the in terest of the boy. Boys' work has been featured in most of the clubs and Rotarians everywhere have as sisted the boys to make good in the world.

Most of the fishers around Provo will hie themselves either to the canyon or the lake. Some prefer to fish near the mouth of the river, while others like the more tui I. lent of the river higher up in the canyon. According to Mr. Freshwater the water in the river is really a little too high for fishing. The best fishing on the river should be near Charleston, where the water is not so deep and where it is said to be clearer than farther Spanish Fork river is said to be too muddy for good fishing although U should be better at Diamond fork and Thistle fork or Nebo creek as it is sometimes called.
