nounced readiness for the opening
Thursday morning of the trial of Clara
Smith Hamon, charged with the murder
last November of Jake l.. Hamon, oil
man and Republican national commit
teeman from Oklahoma. The Carter
county district court docket Monday
was cleared of nine cases, and Judge
| Thomas w. Champion announced that
the Hamon case had the right of way.
The case classes, in point of inter-
est, as Oklahomas greatest murder
case, according to N. z. Freeing, state
attorney general, who is in charge of
the prosecution. 1t does not differ in
its essentials from score of more
murder eases disposed of in Oklahoma
however, Mr.. Freeing said, explain
ing that the prominence of Mr.. Hamon
and the many weeks search for Clara
Smith Hamon attracted unusual at
tention.
Battle on Merits.
State and defense counsel Wednes-
day night were in agreement in state
ments that the case would be fought
out on its merits as a murder case
and that no effort for the sensational
would be initiated by either side.
Mrs. Jake L. Hamon, the widow,
Wednesday night said that she would
attend the trial as a witness and would
be a spectator at each session of the
court until a verdict is rendered.
Mr. Freezing announced he would
ask waving Of the rule against wit
nesses appearing in the court room.
He said he would request that Mrs.
Hamon, as the widow, be permitted
to attend the court sessions, Frank
l.. ketch, administrator of the estate
and Sam Blair, a newspaper man. He
said ketch should be present because
of his interest in the estate and that
Blair had journalistic duties that
should be considered

ITALY: ADJUSTS
FINANCES To
PAY j. s. DEBT
Begins to Set in Motion
Again Machinery of
Trade Relations.
$l,631,000,0 900 Owing
u. S.; New Ambassa-
dor Outlines Task.

Washington, March 9.-(By the As
sociated Press).-Italy is preparing.
through rehabilitation, her internal
financial condition. setting in motion
again the machinery Of commercial re-
lations and resuming the production Of
staples of commerce utilized in their
foreign trade to discharge her debt to
the United States, Rolando Ricci, the
new Italian ambassador, said Wednes-
day in answer to an inquiry. The debt,
according to the last annual report, Of
former Secretary of the Treasury
Houston, amounted to S1,631 600. 600
The ambassador in statement said: ::
''The following is nay precise opinion
in regard to the American loans to
Italy, and the payment Of said loans
by Italy.
Italy must, through a revision Of
the accounts, ascertain the exact
amount of her debt and then ask for
convenient period Of time within which
to pay it. This condition is essential,
because otherwise it would be impos-
sible for Italy to rehabilitate her fin
ancial condition which is in its turn
the only way whereby Italy can pay
her debts.
Italy would naturally ask the pre-
ferred nations treatment, i. e., Italy
would ask that in case Of a cancella-
ton or partial remittance of debt to
any other nation the same treatment be
granted her. Like the United States,
Italy entered the war without being
forced to do SO by any aggression and
while the nations that were attacked
were in very difficult straits, Italy got
nothing out of the war except her nat
ural boundaries, and such boundaries
Italy conquered with her own military
effort which eliminated with the vic
tory of Vittorio Keneto.
ITALY has, therefore. a political atti-
tude and public sentiment which
agree completely with the political at
titude and public sentiment of the
United States. This, think and hope,
will facilitate my work here. l ac-
cepted the charge of doing this work
with this understanding of the situa-
ton"

Witness; Defendant Anxious.

married with families. Fewer than
half dozen are young men.
On the surface, no great amount of
interest in the trial was displayed on
Wednesday by Ardmoreites. Crowded
hotel lobbies and search for rooms
was ascribed by natives to interest in
the livestock show and the annual
automobile show which opens Thurs
day.
Mrs. Clara Hamon Fraii.
Clara Smith Hamon was said to be
composed and anxious to have the trial
completed. She moved to Ardmore
Saturday from Wilson, Oklahoma. IS
miles west where she had been living
with her sister.
Seen on the streets here, Mrs. Clara
Hamon is well. dressed, apparently
somewhat more frail than she waa
when she surrendered to Sheriff Buck
Garrett of Carter county last Decem-
ber at FL Paso. She drives about town
in motor car and mods and smiles as
she recognizes acquaintances. Her 10
year old brother, Jimmie" frequently
is seen with her and at other times
young men and women friends accom-
pany her.
Mrs. Jake L. Hamon Wednesday took
up her Ardmore residence in a new
bungalow on West Main street, recent
ly purchased for her.
Widow Wants Conviction.
Mrs. Hamon, widow, said that her
greatest fear was that the defendant
would go free. She said she would
appear as witness against her and
would attend all sessions of court
Mrs. Hamon said she felt to greater
extent than ever that years ago when
her husband and the young woman first
became acquainted she would have
taken some action.
Bitter Toward Clara.
Her 10 year old son, Jake L. Hamon,
sat near her. as she talked. Her little
girl. Olive Belle, n talented vioiinist,
was sent into the living room to con-
tinue reading her book.
Mrs. Hamon spoke in bitter terms
of Mrs. Clara Smith Hamon, referring
to her as vampire who repeatedly
had refused to consider Mr. lannon's
expressed wishes to end their associa-
ton. Mrs. Hamon said that on one
visit to the suite of rooms in ar Ard
more hotel occupied by Mr., Hamon
and Clara Smith Hamon, she had
gazed in amazement upon the fine
clothes that hung tier upon tier and
that she had at that time taken away
4 pistol that she found on Claras
dresser for fear that it would be used
to kill Mr.. Hamon at some time.

France Assures British
Premier Annexation of
Rhineland Not in Mind

London, March 9.-(By the As
8ociated Press) Premier Lloyd
George, alluding before the SUI
preme council Wednesday to
French newspaper comment On the
occupation Of additional German
territory, asked the French premier
for assurances that annexation was
not contemplated. The French
comment indicated the belief that
the institution Of a customs bar
rier was likely to lead to complete
separation between the occupied
territories and the rest of Ger
many.
Former Premier Clemenceau's
reputation Of permanent occupa.
tion was brought into the discus
sion. Mr.. Lloyd George said that
though he had absolute confidence
in NJ. BRAND and the good sense Of
the majority of French statesmen
and although he had received as
surance from former premiers
Clemenceau and M:llerand who had
fought hard against the annexa-
ZIONIST policy. he would welcome

same time, information of the enor-
nous profits of the packers was
published broadcast.
I'm this national emergency" the
telegram said, ''the employers showed
fight and said they were willing that
a strike should take place. On the
other hand, the employees were in
duced to remain on the job as a
patriotic duty. President Wilson sue
ceeded in bringing the packers into
conference and the result was an agree
ment that, during the period of the
war they would submit all points Of
difference with their employees to
arbitration. Judge Alschuler was Sc
lected as the administrator to arbi-
trate these differences"
The telegram further recites that
the agreement was continued after
the armistice with the request Of the
packers and that "now at the very be-
ginning of the reconstruction period,
the packers repudiate their agree
ment' They have further announced
that beginning next Monday they will
reduce wages 1919 to Is per cent and
reinstate the 10 hour day in all their
plants, Judge Alschuler having granted
the employees an eight hour day in
his award"

that the packers having forced live
stock prices down to lower than pre-
par level, and having filled their store
houses to overflowing with meat
bought at the lowest of prices on the
hoof, now propose to cripple industry
deliberately for the purpose of unload
ing this meat at enhanced prices upon
the public. thereby achieving the double
purpose of enormous profits by add
Ing to the cost of living to the general
public and of striking at the same
time body blow at organized labor
for the purpose of destroying it."

Of proceeding in industrial affairs" by
conference and arbitration is advocated
In the telegram which says this method
'contemplates strikes and lockouts and
other hostilities of Industrial as a
last resort, when no peaceful settle

The president Is then petitioned to
bring the packers into conference.
