LANNON'S CHAN CT FOR
RECOVERY CONSIDERED
FAIR BY AUTHORITIES
At LOCAL HOSPITAL
CONDITION OF ARDM0RE OIL
MAN SERIOUS BUT INJURIES
NOT NECESSARILY FATAL,
INSISTS SHOT HIMSELF

Jake L. Hamon, oil operator, rail-
road builder, wizard of finance and
Republican national committeeman
from Oklahoma, who was shot Sunday
night in his room at the Randol
hotel, spent the second night follow
ing his injury rather restlessly. The
bullet which was OF steel, passed
through the body near the region OF
the stomach, touched the liver and
lodged near the surface of the back
and was extracted from the body in
the Hardy sanitarium, where Mr..
Hamon is now under surgical treat
ment.
The drugs administered made him
sick and he vomited some. The patti
ent is also suffering some from nerve
shock, and he has Il fight on for
his life. To his closest friends he
expressed some uneasiness himself
concerning his recovery.
Dr.. Walter Hardy, at whose hos
pital NJ. EIamon is being cared for,
was fearful that the missile had in
jured the inttstnes and he made
an incision large enough 10 make
an examination and the wound Is
rather u serious one. The intcstlnes
were not injured. The surgeons who
had charge OF the case, stated that
they never saw better nerve displayed
than that employed by Mr.. Hanon
when he was going through the worst
part OF the ordeal.
on account of the prominence OF
the injured man, number OF
metropolitan newspapers have rep
rcsentatives here. Reports have been
sent out from here which Intimate
that the shooting was not done acci-
dentally, but the Ardmoreite does not
feel justified in using these reports.
II they are true they will be revealed
in good time and If the statutes have
been violated the authorities will in
vestigate the matter and gather what
ever evidence Is available.
Mr.. Hamon states that he accident
ally shot himself, he went in;o de-
tails in telling how he was handling
the gun when 1t was discharged and
as he was the only witness To the
shooting there seems to be no other
logical conclusion to be reached eX-
cept accept his statement.
Mrs. Hamon and The daughter left
their home in Chicago, Monday even
ing at o'clock and should arrive
here tomorrow morning at an carly
hour.
Claude Baker OF Ponca City, a men,
Der of the state Republican executive
committee. arrived here yesterday az
ternoon to visit with Mr.. Hamon. 9th
er friends are here from different por-
tions OF the s;ate and kilograms con-
,inue to flow into his office from all
over the nation.
4 report received from the hospital
at noon today states that Mr.. Hamon
| is doing nicely, that his condition is
very favorable and all that could be
hoped for and there is every chance
for an immediate recovery unless seri-
Gus complications should arise.

Problem of Intervention in

NOTHING IN LINE

RESOLUTIONS OF INNOCUOUS
CHARACTER MARK MORNINGS
SESSION WHILE POSSIBILL.
TIES FILL THE AIR

Geneva, Nov. pa clash between
the council and the assembly Of the
league Of nations on the question OF
carrying Of the assembly's resolution
OF yesterday for intervention in the
Armenian situation, loomed up as o
possibility this morning, as the as
scmbly met for todays session.
The subject OF Armenia was early to
the fore, the chairman announcing
the makeup OF the committee to ex-
anime into the details Of the eventual
Intervention, The comm ttee was head
ed by Lord Robert Cecil of the Union
Of South Africa delegation, who is
strong proponent of help for Armenia
and had on its membership list like
wise, Rene Viviani Of France, whose
eloquent plea yesterday swept the
assembly into an approval of the
resolutions for approval on the sub
ject. The other members announced
We're Senator Henri La Fontaine OF
Belgium, Dr. Frltd1Of or Norway.
Honorio Pueyrredon of Argentine and
Signor Shan2i of Italy.
The order of the day for the as
sembly contained several resolutions
Of an apparently innocuous character
promising in themselves no such SEN
sational periods as yesterdays ses-
sion developed. The possibility was
! seen, however that the failure Of the
council Of the league to act last night
on the Viviani resolution might make
another debate on Armenia and raise
the entire question of the relations
of the council and the assembly.
The respective powers Of these
bodies is looming up as one Of the
biggest questions before the assembly.

What Wages Does the Cotton
Family Get?

The Farm Development Bureau OF
the Memphis, Tennessee, Chamber
of Commerce sends out blotter on
which the following facts are set
forth:
.Facts for farmers and merchants:
The South's annual cotton crop aver
ages 100000 bales-produced by
100000 families. Average family
is man and wife and three children,
equals three hands. Average family
produces six bales. Three bales of
cotton goes to pay land, rent, feed
bills, fertilizer, etc. Three bales are
left or one bale for each hand at 40
cents per pound, or 5000 per bale.
This will allow each farm hand $16.-
65 per month. The average approprl-
alton for a pauper at the county
farm is s25 per month. Think it
overw
We believe the facts are as stated,
and yet, for the soils and climate OF
the South, cotton is our best farm
or field crop. If we had been COM
PEELED to live by the growing of corn
or wheat or oats, each farm laborer
would have to get along on less than
S16,65, much less. In fact, if these
figures are correct, each farm hand
before the war, received less than So
a month from the cotton crop. This
is not all he received, for he has
grown some other things, and has
also got a part of the rent from the
landlord through day wages and 9th,
er sources; but, at best, the state,
ment shows that the South has always
made cotton for the world on star,
walton wages.-Progressive Farmer
