The strikers demand an increase in

CHANGED HIS Mind
Arthur Ha,niI. After Night i'll Jail.
Told Liquor Secrets.

Arthur Hamn changed his mind
overnight-the change being superin-
duced by spending the long hours in a
cell in the county Jail.
Yesterday Hamil was picked up by
the sheriff's office on the theory that
he had some information that might
be of value in connection with some
liquor sales But Hamil appeared to
have been struck deaf and dumb by
the arrest. He couldn't say a word.
The county attorney could get no in
formation from him.
l.. /. Kiene, sheriff, took Hamil over
to the county Jail and stuck him in a
cell without ceremony. No more at
tention was paid to him. He had no
idea how long he was going to be kept
there nor what the charge was.
This morning Hamil sent for the
sheriff. He had changed his mind and
recovered his voice. He informed the
sheriff that if given a chance he would
tell all he knew.
well, that won't take long" said
the official. and he took him before
w. E. AtchisOn, county attorney.
Hamil was in the county attorney
office for over an hour and the hum
of voices through the door indicated
that he knew much and was telling 1t.

Miss Flora Harrington, Who Was
Elected Editor of the Washburn
Review Today.

Miss Harrington is a member of the
junior class. a member of the Kappa
Kappa Chi sorority, debater of abil-
ity and a member of the successful
Washburn girls debating team for the
past two years. Last year she held the
position of local editor. She has had
considerable experience in newspaper
work being at one time Washburn
correspondent of the State Journal
Her home is in Kansas City, Kan.
In the contest for the associate edi-
torship Harold Whitehead won over
Milford Baker by a score of 147 votes
to so. Miss Ruth Whitaker secured
the local editorship against Miss Ma
rie Miller by vote of ISL to Sc.
The result in the managership race
was undecided up to the time the
polls closed. Frantic scurrying around
for votes by both sides featured the
last minutes. The final count showed
Jay McCosh and Bryant Drake as
victors over John Warner and Arthur
Beattie. The managership of the Re-
view carries with it the possibility of
self-support through the school year
and is the most desired objective OF
Washburn office seekers.
The election judges were Miss Ella
Waldron and VIII Guild.

TROUBLE BREWING
No Longer Tolerate Divine
Right of Kings in Greece.
Leader of Liberals Throws
Down Gauntlet to Throne.

Athens, April Isl beg you to
bring the events of yesterday and the
earnest protest of a majority of Greeks
to the knowledge of the American peo-
pie who have struggled for so long to
establish free speech as the funda-
mental right of free peoples" said ex-
Premier Venizelos today to the Asso-
ciated Press.
Here in Greece we are confronted
by the question whether we are to
have a democracy presided over by Il
king or whether at this hour in our
history We must accept the doctrine
of the divine right of kings.
The present government represents
in no sense the majority of the Hell
lenic people. We liberals twice within
a year. received the vote of the ma
iority. At the last election, which was
nothing more than burlesque of the
free exercise of the right of suffrage,
we were not willing to participate in a
farcical formality, where. owing to the
mobilization it would have been pos
sible. as indeed it was the govern
mentS intention, to keep the liberal
voters with the colors and not allow
them to cast their ballots while their
opponents would be given every IA
cility to crush the liberty party by a
vote which could not have represented
more than a small minority of the
Greek people.
Election a Farce.
1--WE refuse to take part in this sin
lister comedy. The present govern
ment of Greece is therefore no wise
representative and we liberals have
left us only our right of free speech
and free assemblage. guaranteed by
the constitution as the sole means of
taking counsel among ourselves of
trying to enliShten the opinion of the
country and perhaps of exercising a
pacific pressure of the will of the
ma ority upon a government not rep
resenting the majority.
Now it is even sought to deny this.
The meetings organized by the liberal
party were not even those free and
open ones to which we have our right.
Our meetings were held in enclosed
buildings. Those who came to them
were invited, but the police threw out
our doorkeepers, put in their own and
let enter whomSoever they, the police,
wanted to be present at our meetings.
TT is a denial of every constitutional
liberty. You, yourself have witnessed
with what patience we liberals-a ma
jority of the Greek people-have sub
mitted for months to a government
which is in no wise constitutional
THE moment has come when the
position of the highest functionary
which every king of the Hellenes
ought to occupy, must SO strictly be
defined that it will forever be impos-
sible to raise again the question of
the divine right of kings in Greece.
1t will forever he impossible in any
government, hiding behind the person
of the sovereign to arrogate to itself
rights which reside only in the whole
Hellenic people.
Understand me- 1 am not talking
in any sense of the possibility of a re-
public in Greece. 1 insist only on our
rights-our constitutional right Our
rights as free people, which we our
selves have gained by the force of
arms and which we have no intention
to abandon"

where identical, read as follows;
This is a time when your manhood
is tested. Do not permit the crooked
judge to influence you. You are try
ing the biggest set of crooks among
firebugs."
The jurors received the letters at
their homes after the adjournment OF
the trial yesterday. Until last FRIDAY
the Jurors were kept together. but at
the close of the Friday session the
court suggested that they be allowed
