Friday by o. Q. Claflin, United States

revenue agents of homemade, still
said to have been operated by Hatka
and Langley on a S20-acre farm
owned by Guilbert. ...
Guilbert denies all knowledge of the
still. The charge against. Guilbert,
federal officials said, is that. he al
lowed his property to be used for il
legal purposes to defraud the govern
ment and they add if he is convicted,
the land. worth $4,000, might be for
feited to the government. According
to Sheriff Cornelius Collins, who made

fair of a copper kettle, a barrel and
some tin pipe passed thru a hog
trough for a condenser. The liquor,
officials said, was taken by motor car
to Beatrice and distributed from

BURLESON In IT
p. CTS Name Brought Into Row
Over Comptroller.
Say He Acted as Mediator Be-
tween Williams and Bank.

Washington, July 12.-Postmaster
General Burleson's name was brought
Friday in echoes of the row between
the Riggs National Bank of this city
and John Shelton Williams. comptrol-
Ter of the currency, which are being
heard in the fight on Williams con-
firmation before the senate banking
committee.
] J. Darli. gton. one of the bank s
directors, testified that letters signed
by officers Id directors of the bank
retracting charges of collision and
misconduct against Williams and for
mer Secretary McAdoo, as a result of
which the banks charter was renewed,
were framed at a conference between
himself, McAdoo and Burleson. with
the postmaster general acting as medi-
ator between Comptroller Williams
and the banks officials.
The fight between the treasury and
the bank in 1916 eliminated in a law
suit in which variety of charges and
counter charges were made, the comp
troller charging Secretary McAdoo and
Comptroller Williams with seeking to
wreck it for personal malice. Finan-
cial transactions in which Mr.. Will
liams as a railroad financier was con-
cerned with the National City Bank
of New York were aired; charges of
politics were made and the fight at
tracted the attention of the country.
In the midst of the fight the banks
charter expired. and fearful that the
comptroller would not renew it. the
banks officers prepared to incorpor-
ate in West Virginia. but finally as the
result of conferences in which the
postmaster general participated. Darl-
ington testified, the bank officials
wrote certain retractions which were
not wholly acceptable to the bank, but
as a result the charter was reneMed.

suggesting that every labor body in

here. Their allegiance to the Ameri-

Gompers is re-affirmed and it was re-
solved to do all in their power to keep
Kansas labor up to its standard of
Americanism.
The resolution declares that at it's
convention at Atlantic City, the A. F.
of L. under the leadership of that
great American, Samuel Gompers,
fought the battle of freedom and DEM
ocracy to , successful conclusion
against the organized forces of our
