HANSON IS CALLED
Mcpherson Lawyer Is Cited for
Contempt of Court.
Told the Supreme Justices to
"Cut 1t Out"

John Hanson, we'll known insanity
lawyer, was today cited for contempt
before the supreme court of Kansas.
Hanson, in a recent petition for re-
hearing, told the Kansas tribunal to
"cut it OUT and used other popular
slang and contemptuous language in
addressing the court.
For three years Hanson has been
accustomed to a rather free rein be-
fore the court. He has made remarks
that would land the average lawyer in
jail. And what was more, Hanson al
ways made his free and open express
sions without the heavy hand of the
law resting on his shoulders. Now
the court has called a halt. Hanson
must come in and apologize or he
must pay the penalty that the court
assesses in contempt case.
Sometime ago Hanson represented
the defendant in a prosecution for
criminal assault. The case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court and Han
sons client lost. Hanson filed a petit
ton for a rehearing of the case. He
found occasion to make some uncOm-
plimentary remarks about the court
and told the supreme justices just
what he thought of their decision. He
inferred quite sarcastically that such
decisions made the Kansas courts and
laws a laughing stock and a practical
joke in all the land. He said many
other things. To most of them the
court took keen exception. So Hanson
must come from his home in McPher-
, son and explain to tho court and
apologize or he must suffer the con-
sequences

father being the only member to reach

Edgemond then crawled under barn,
which was unframed by the wind.
The town of Davis was not struck
by the tornado, although farm houses
in the vicinity were either partly or
totally demolished. Other families
sought safety in their dugouts.

CLOSE REICHSTAC WEEKS MARKETS
Socialist Scrap Over the War
Causes Big Rupture.
Herr Haase Says Germany
Never Can Whip Allies.

Amsterdam. March 25.-Advices
from Berlin indicate today's sitting of
the reichstag, although it was only a
brief session for consideration of the
emergency budget pending discussion
of the regular, was the stormiest on
record and had to be closed by the
president owing to disorder caused by
the Socialist group OF this group
Herr Haasc. Ledebour Schiedemann,
Ebert and Suedckum were notable
participants in the debate.
The sitting began with heated dis
cussion. The speech which caused the
trouble was by Herr Haase, who de-
clared Germany would never win the
war, which would be a drawn conflict.
He declared the German Socialists
hated war and desired peace.
Want Honest Peace.
THE best patriots in all countries
are those who speak for an honest
peace" he is quoted as exclaiming.
These remarks provoked a tremendous
uproar, many Socialists rising from
their seats and angrily disputing with
each other. The Socialist, DIR. David
shouted to Herr Haase:
Your policy is causing prolonga-
ton of the war"
Other Socialists showered such
epithets as traitor on <ferr Haase,
Who again tried to speak, but MEM
bers crowded around him, threatening
to strike him. and the president hur-
riedly closed the sitting, which was
resumed later with very few Socialists
present. 1t is reported the Socialist
labor community is to be the name of
a new faction formed by Is Socialists
who withdrew from the party with
Herr Haase as their leader.
