YOU can tell the doubtful and mis-

water they are drinking is all right

Acting Secretary of State Davis to-
day refused to state what steps he
would take in the case of Daniel
O'Callaghan, lord mayor of Cork, who
he has recommended for deportation
as a stowaway. but who the Secre-
tary of Labor has declared to be a
seaman and not subject to deporta-
tion.
The differences between the State
Department and the Labor Depart
ment over O'Callaghan's status are un-
derstood to be the subject of further
legal research by the solicitor of the
State Department.
At the Labor Department II was
said there was nothing new in the
case and O'Callaghan would be sur
rendered in a reasonable time to the
immigration authorities as a seaman,
to permit him to reship for a foreign
soil. There was no indication OF
haste in the case at the Labor Depart
ment.

BLUE LAW PASTORS
BAN SUNDAY BURIAL
Towns Preachers Hate to Work
Gravediggers and Dislike
CroWdinq on Sababth.

McKEEPSPORTI Pa, Jan. H.
Controversy over the Blue sunday
issue has become acute in Mckee
port. where the Ministerial Associa-
tion and many church workers advo-
eating strict enforcement of Sabbath
laws, are lined up against the liberal
element. which protests against what
1t terms "Puritanical bigotry." Bow
ing to the demands of the Ministerial
Association, the directors of the Rich
land Cemetery have banned Sunday
burials. The directors OF the Yer
sailles Cemetery Association, the
largest in the city, are to take up the
matter, at their meeting.
The ministers state that they are
not overworked, but that their OBJ
jections to Sunday funerals were based
on "a desire to have stop put to
big crowds at funerals, to the blare
of bands and to Sunday work by en-
ployes of cemeteries"
They pointed out that Sunday meet
ings were held in theeters by relig-
ious bodies because they afford min
isters a chance to address bigger
crowds. "Why, / think crowds at fu-
nerals are a good thing" declared A
prominent citizen. There's nothing
wrong with band music that l can
see, II properly regulated and con-
fined to sacred music"

PICTURE HAM0N'S

Waited lvainIy for Oil King
"Ulysses" to Tire Of "siren"
Who Finally Slew Him.
ny MILDRED NORRIS
international News Service.

ARDMORE, Okla, Jan. II.--Out OF
the sordid story that will be unfolded
at the trial OF Clara Smith Hamon
when she faces a jury on the charge
of the numbering OF Jake Hamon. oil
millionaire. and Republican national
committeeman in Oklahoma. there
came to light today another story
that would furnish a playwright ma
terial for a great drama.
Friends Of Mrs. Jake L. Hamon,
widow Of the oil king, told her story
today, and they told it, 1t should be
added, without condemning Clara
Smith Hamon.
They pictured the wife as a Pene-
lope growing middle-aged waiting
for Ulysses to come home tired from
playing with the sirens. When she
when at last wealth and prominence
came to him. another woman had his
love and companionship.
But the wife waited-she waited
for ten years while the other woman
had him and played more inti-
mate and prominent part in his life
than she-his wife and the mother
of his children.
WAITED FOR HIM.
Some day he'll tire of 1t all and
come home to me and the children,
she is quoted as saying. "Tll be
waiting"
No one would describe Clara Smith
IIamon as a siren. She was an un-
worldly country girl when she met
Hamon, a man old enough to oe her
father. Her life was not an tnviable
one. as she herself says. Always
she was haunted by the fear she
would lose Hamon. She Travelled
with the oil king and met rromi-
nent men. but their wives did not
receive her.
HER TRIUMPH NEAR
At last the day came when the
wife's triumph seemed near. Ulysses
was ready to come home.
But fate. after smiling upon Jake
Hamon and throwing millions and
power into his lap, turned tickle al
the last. He died without the po
litical power he had craved. The
woman who had him for ten years
while the wife waited. Is charged with
his murder. 1t Is for the moralists ia
say who had the final triumph-the
wife or the other woman.

To Restore It.

1t Is the judgment of leaders OF
the House that conferees will be In
structed by separate vote TO ac-
cept the $240 bonus Ior Government
employees which the Senate intends
to restore In the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill.
This action will prevail, it is held,
regardless OF what Is done by either
house in considering the policemen
and firemen's participation in the
bonus bill.
BLANTON STILL FIGHTS.
Congressman Blanton OF Texas.
whose point OF order killed the bonus
in the House, gave notice today that
II will not be restored without a
hard night unless it's provisions are
extended to the policemen and fire.
men of the District.
A separate vote in the House Is In
sured by the new rules under which
that body is legislating. This requires
that no Senate amendment to gem
eral appropriation bill. shall be agred
to by the House conferees. unless
specific authority to agree to such an
amendment shall first be given by
the House by separate vote.
1t is the belief OF Congressman
Cramton. OF Michigan. member of the
Appropriations Committee, that no
point of order can be made In this
event that would block a vote. 1t
seems certain that the s'.-ight bonus
provision will prevail. despite opposi-
tion that will arise to IL in the event
the Senate fails to include the guar

the police, declared today that II :hey
are not included in the Senate amend
ment "A motion would be In order In
the House to accept the Senate
amendment with an amendment that
would include the police and firemcn.
This would necessitate separate
vote on that proposition.
There is some doubt in the opinion
of House leaders as to whether there
are votes enough to put such a prop
osition through. Mr.. Cramton SAID
that many members would vote In
favor of the bonus for teh policemen
and firemen. but II that failed. the y
would not oppose the regular S2i0

Congress is being flooded wi~h tele-
