Harding Besiegged by Would-Be
Officeholders Bearing Gifts

The COW was offered in letter.
Secretary Christian Immediately called
for precedents and learned that dur
ing the Taft admin stration Pauline
Wayne, pure bred and generous Hol-
stein, was the White House COW. He
also was Informed that there no longer
are any stables on the White House
grounds. Even as FAR back as Pauline

All in all the menagerie maintained
at the Presidents home during the rule

be outdone during the stay of the
Hardings. First, of course, there is
Laddie Boy, the Airdale First Dog of
the Land. There is also an alligator
presented during the Florida vacation; :;

and each morning from two to half q
dozen dog statesmen with their arms
full of pups appear at the executive

From The Trtbu,e's WASHINGTON Burcd

From The Tribatae's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March Eff there
are to be any framed notices on the
circular wall of President Harding's
office, it is important that he should
have one reminding him to beware of
Greeks bearing gifts. Most of the
Office seekers who approach the White
House these days have presents for
the President.
These little tokens of regard ranged
to-day from a pair of Indian hand
beaded moccasins to Jersey COW. The
aboriginal footgear was intended to be
a bedside reminder to the Chief Exc
cutive that Thomas Sloan, full
FLOODED Chippewa, ardently desires to
be made Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. The motive of the man who
desires to give away a COW remains
hidden
Thomas Sloan was presented to the
President by Senator Miles Poindexter
who also introduced some 15O other
Indians who wished to indorse Mr.
Sloan's ambition. These particular In
dians were mostly college bred girls
who wore the prevailing fashion of
skirts and stockings Mr.. Sloan apoli-
gized for some because they we're not
full blooded Indians.
The moccasins were presented by the
best looking of these young women
none of whom revealed her Indian
ancestry in her complexion. Mr.. Sloan
was told that his candidacy would be
given careful consideration, which is
what most Office seekers are told.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune


ARDMORE, Okla, March 12.--When
court adjourned at noon to-day until
Monday morning Clara Smith Hamon
had been accused by three state wit
nesses of firing the shot that ended
the life of Jake L. Hamon, former Re-
publican National Committeeman, mil
lionaire oil man and railroad builder.
All the accusations were made
through friends of Hamon who visited
him while he was on his deathbed
Until this trial opened none admitted
officially that the shooting of Hamon
was anything but an accident. Each
stated that he had been pledged by
Hamcn not to reveal what Hamon told
him of the occurrence until it was
necessary in open court. Hamon
wanted to protect his wife and children
from the stain of the life he had been
living, his friends testified.
w. B. Nichols, former chief Of police
OF Oklahoma City and a former busi-
ness associate of Hamon, testified that
Hamon, in a statement while he was
dying, said Clara Smith Hamon shot
him as he reclined on the bed in his
own room of a suite they occupied at
a hotel here.
Nichols quoted Hamon as having said
he was lying down for rest when
Clara came to him, put her hand on his
head and fired into his body. lie SAID
Hamon said he threw up his arm, but
too late.
The big question tonight is what
Clara lannon's answer to the state
evidence will be. 1t is an admitted
fact that the young woman will plead
self-defense. She unquestlonably Will
tell Of struggle with Hamon and say
that the shot was fred in the course
of it.
Widow To Be Witness
At least another day will be neces-
sary for the state to complete Its
direct evidence against Clara Hamon.
attorneys for the prosecution said to-
night Mrs. Jake L. Hamon, the widow
until to-day in constant attendance at
the trial of the young woman, who, it is
said, caused the separation Of her and
her husband and children, and finally
was charged with ending his life, will
be one of the principal witnesses Mon
day.
Frank L. Ketch, business manager
for Hamon, and n Chicago newspaper
man are among other witnesses yet to
be heard on the part of the prosecu-
ton. The newspaper man, 1T is SAID,
may prove one of the hardest witnesses
the defense has to face. He interviewed
the young woman while she still was in
Mexico after her flight from Ardmore.
Damaging was the testimony to-day
of the Rev. T. J. Irwin, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Lawton, the
man who delivered the Grafton at Ha-
mons funeral, in which Mr.. irwin re-
peated what was told to him in his
last conference with the dying man.
"This was frame-up by others,
Hamon told Mr.. Irwin, according to the
latter's testimony. "Three times |
have paid her off, but this is the last
time"
The minister said that Hamon made
no specific reference to having been

The revolt, according to news reach

Rebels Hold Minsk Five Hours

WARSAW, March IL (By The Asso-

says anti Bolshevik forces fought their
way into Minsk and held control Of the
city for five hours, but were later
driven out by Soviet forces. While
occupying the city the revolutionsts
killed many local Communists, it is
said, and when the Bolshevki rcentered
the town they executed more than 200
persons, many of whom were Poles,
who were accused oe sympathizing with
the insurgents.
The reports received in governmental
quarters here say the revolutionary
movement continues to spread in the
region surrounding N.insk. The Soviet
authorities are described as making
desperate efforts to control the situa-
ton. A wireless appeal from the Cron-
stadt insurrectionists was picked up to-
day by the Polish government radio
