Lest We Forget!

That war veterans of this state should protest
against the appointment of Senator Kuykendall to
high public office is but natural. Their Indignation,
born out of the utter indifference of Fl senators to
real reconstruction measures demanded by the men
who had given unstnted service to their country, is
entirely justified. Their protests deserve to win.
But they probably will fall on deaf ears, for they
are addressed to Governor Hart.
If our recollection is correct, it was Governor
Hart who called the conference which laid the
groundwork for the defeat of the Lampng bill, the
measure sought by the veterans. If our memory
serves us right it was Governor Hart who lent ap-
prova to the legislative orgy which appropriated
large sums for new armores here, there and yonder,
tho ordinary business caution would have demanded
that the state at least wait until knew more
about the future status Of the state mita-until
knew whether there would be state militia at all, or
whether it would continue federal institution.
And while Governor Hart approved these appro ia
tions he helped to create if he did not actually nsti
gate the cry of economy when the soldiers relief
bill came up. That politics rather than economy
killed the Lampng bill is quite generally known.
But while the veterans protests will have no eff
feet on Governor Hart, they will serve valuable
purpose. They will help those of us who are not
politicians to remember

ALLEN SEEKS
EARLY TRIAL
Other Defendants Ask Ex-
tension of Time for Pleas

Superior Judge Clay Allen. iniict-
ed by a grand jury June 2S for
alleged unlawful possession Of five
quarts of Scotch whisky, will 70
TO trial September 2.
The date was fixed Tuesday after.
noon by Presiding Judge Boyd ].
Tallman after John c. Higgins. at
torney for Judge Allen, insisted that
his client be given hearing in open
court at the very earliest oppor-
tunity.
The action of Judge Tallman in
setting Judge Aliens trial date on
the indictment setting forth that the
jurist had five quarts of whisky in
his possession unlawfully. caused
deep unrest and woe to Prosecuting
Attorney Fred c. Brown. Brown
had instructed Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney T. III. Patterson to insist
on fixing a date for the Allen trial
on second indictment, which al
leges that the jurist had in his pos
session unlawfully quantity of
liquor on June A., of which he pro-
posed to dispose.
Overrules Deputy
I'VE wanted that indictment tried
first. so that the people of King
county might know the whole
scheme of this liquor mix up" Brown
said today. But Judge Tallman
overruled my deputy. and we are
pinned down to the narrow case af-
fecting five quarts of Scotch whis-
ky"
John C. Higgins, attorney for
Judge Allen. told the court that he
had no doubt that both indictments
against Judge Allen could be
quashed without ever coming to
trial.
But Judge Allen is n public Of
ficial, occupying judicial position,
and he wants an immediate trial on
the indictment accusing him of un-
lawful possession of five quarts of
Scotch whisky" Higgins told the
court.

The report indicates Densmore for
several months had a dictaphone
in the office of Charles NJ Fickert.
San Francisco district attorney, ob.
tanning much information.
THE reading of the testimony
in the case Is apt TO cause one to
wonder at many things" the report
says.
The report then enumerates the
following objections to methods used
at the trial:
The apparent failure OF the dis.
trict attorneys office to conduct a
real investigation at the scene of
the crime, the easy adaptability of
some of the star witnesses, the ir.
regular methods pursued by the
prosecution in Identifying various
defendants. the sorry type of men
and women brought forward to
prove essential matters of fact in a
case Of gravest Importance, the
seeming inefficacy of well estab-
Usher alibis, the sang froid with
which the prosecution occasionally
adopted an untenable theory and
then changed to another not quite
so preposterous, the refusal of the
public prosecutor to call witnesses
who actually saw the falling of the
bomb
"In short the general
flimsiness and improbability of the
testimony adduced together with a
total absence of anything that looks
like a genuine effort TO arrive at
the facts in the case.
These things are calculated TO
cause in the minds of the most
blase a decided mental rebellion"
Brands Oxman Perjurer
The report declares testimony of
Frank G.. Oxman, star prosecution
witness, was proved perjury and
that the presiding judge at the trial
and the attorney general of the
state asked a new trial for Mooney,
Fickert, previously agreed to the
new trial, Densmore said, then re.
fused to agree 10 It.
OF this, the report says:
There are excellent grounds for
the belief that the prosecuting attor-
ney's sudden change of attitude
was prompted by emissaries from
some of the corporate interests
most bitterly opposed to union labor
Fickerts efforts henceforth were di
rected at a clumsy attempt to white
wash Oxman and justify his own
motives and conduct thruout."
