Federal Troops May Be Used.
Federal troops may be sent into Ok

draft demonstrations which recently
have assumed growing proportions. Just
what steps will be taken to bring the
men to Justice has not been announced.
Mr. Fits in the absence Of Attorney
General Gregory, issued the following
statement:
.Whether in Oklahoma or anywhere
else, II persons who are regularly se-
lected for military service fail to obey
wien properly notified and called, they
will be reached and overtaken by the
strong arm Of the federal law and
brought before the proper registration
board"
State Troops Not Available.
Despite the fact that the letter and
! spirit OF the selective conscription
law combine to place Its operation In
the various states under civilian super
vision to the fullest possible extent It
may become necessary to employ fed
eral troops to restore order in regions
In Oklahoma. This arises from the fact
that the entire national guard Of the
country VIII be divorced completely
from state control tomorrow under
President Wilson's proclamation fed
sralixing the force on that date.
ss Should the Oklahoma situation get
beyond control Of the civilian forces
the only recourse Of tho government
would be to ask General Parker, COM
handing the southern department. to
send troops to do the work.
There will be no Oklahoma National
Guard under the governors jurisdiction
sitter today, as the Oklahoma National
Guard passes under complete control
Of the federal military authorities.

MySsery Snro0oo Nitlin0s FRIDAY Night,
Of John Longer do sauIles by His
Former Wife-Romanos Of Two Con-
tinsnts Recalled.
New York, Aug. 4.-4Mystery still
shrouds today the reason for the shoot
ing and killing last night Of John
Longer de Saulles by his former wife,
Mrs. Blanca Errazuriz dc saulles.
The police believe q quarrel over
the custody Of their young son was the
only cause Of the act The shooting
came as the climax Of q romance Of
two continents which led to the we'd
ding Of de Gaulles, former Yale foot
ball star and Blanca Errazuriz, heir
to one Of the greatest estates in Chile,
and known as one Of the most beauti-
full girls in the world"
Mira de Saulles obtained q divorce
last year. naming Q popular Broadway
dancer.
A deposition hled by Deputy Sheriff
Leonard Thorn, states that he found
and arrested Mrs. de Saulles with her
maid near the de Saulles home ON Long
Island and Mrs. De saulles said:
'Yes. did the shooting and I hope
he will die"
At the Mineola, Il T., Jail, 1t was said
that Mrs. de Saulles passed a restful
night and seemed cool and unshaken
this morning. She was charged with
first degree murder.
Plans for the defense Of Mrs. de
Saulles were today being made by at
torneys, summoned to confer with the
young woman, now prisoner in the
Mineola jail, on Q charge Of first de-
gree murder.
Mrs. de Saulles. according to prison
officials, remained remarkably cool and
showed no indications Of remorse.
From the Jail last night she called up
somebody in New York on the tele-
phone, according to Sheriff Seaman and
held conversation. which he said, on
her part, was in Z light vein. After she
had said that she had shot de Saulles
''because he would not give me back
my baby" the voice at tho other end
tof the wtra exclaimed my God, my
God.
"Oh, people make me tired, saying
My God," the sheriff quoted her 81
saying.
The 4x-year-old boy, John Longer
de Saulles. Jr. possession Of whom leo
to the tragedy, saw his mother fire the
bullets into his fathers body, accord
ing to Mrs. Caroline Degener, sister Of
de Saulles. who was present at the

stances Of the event. Mrs. Degener said
that the killing took place in the liv--
Ing room and not on the piazza OF the
de saulles home and that when the
child's mother entered his faIner was
reading to him.

and when the request was denied she
brought her right hand from behind
her back holding q revolver. De Saulles
was shot down as he turned to fiee.

MRS. HOWELL CLAIMS
SHE SAW WADE KILLED

That Ended Life

AMERICUS, Ca, Jan. 10.-Mrs. Year
tie Howell, leading witness for the state
in the prosecution of DR.. c. K. Chap

testified that w. l. Johnson, John Eth
ridge C. X. Chapman, .Jr-. besides DR..
Chapman and herself, were in the cal
and that a few seconds after the Wade
car pulled to the side of the road a sec
ond came up, in which she recognized
Walter Johnson and another person she
could not identify.
She stated that she was dressed this
morning as she was on the night OF the
alleged crime except for a broad brlm-
med white hat. She was attired in
black skirt, white shirtwa!st and
Coiored striped coat, which fell below
her waist. Her answers to Judge HiXon,
for the state, came in clear and PLAIN
tones, while the court room heard her
attentively.
Jurors leaned over to catch every word
of Mrs. Howell She was with the state $
attorney on the stand for an hour, when
w. p. Wallis took up the cross-examina-
ton for the defense.
One hour on the stand under cross
examination by w. p Wallis, for the
defense, did not change the testimony
of Mrs. Howell given on direct 'ques-
tions She admitted that she was a
mother before she was married, and SAID
she understood her second husband was
suing her for divorce.
The climax of the trial came just be-
fore noon as the state prepared to rest
it's case, when Andrew Jackson, white
night Waterman. identified Mrs. Yeartie
Howell as the woman whom he saw in
the automobile with DR.. Chapman and
another man on the night of August II,
when, he said, he was greeted by DR..
Chapman as Uncle Andy"
Hollis Fort, for the defense, outlined
their case, which alleged an alibi for
each one of the indicated men. Fort
said that w. 1. Johnson was not in
Americas and outlined his alibi plea
He alleged that John Ethridge was at
Damascus, about 80 miles from here.
Fort said that Walter Johnson's where
abouts would be shown and that DR..
Chapman and his son were at home on
the night of the alleged crime. Forts
statements attacked Mrs. HowelPs
character and also made reference to
a possibility that the crime was com
mitted at another place.
