Il accepted the leadership of the
Boy Scout drive, because L consider
the Boy Scouts a powerful organiza-
disintegration which is going on all
over the country" said Beck.
Il did not accept the job until I
had carefully informed myself about
the local Boy Scout situation. I found
that the Topeka Boy Scout council has
been at work for many months laying
the plans for the work on the broadcast
possible lines. The Boy Scout move
ment is not charity, but is an indis-
pensabIe foundation for sound future
citizenship.
I'm asking for $4,000 for the en-
suing year, the Boy Scout council has
asked for the absolute minimum.
Every dollar asked for is positively
needed, and will be economically dis
bursed. There are 5000 boys of scout
age in Topeka who will have 1000 I'M
employed hours apiece during the next
year.
THE scouting program will fill
those hours with character building
training. About a hundred adult lead
ers of the best and most virile type
have been trained during the last six
months to direct this work. From
$50 to 400 others are needed and will
be trained during the year
Il hope that every citizen of Topeka
will realize his responsibility to the
boys of Topeka, and do his full share
to make the campaign a success

 For Disarmament

VICTORIA, B. C., March 1S-Japan would be willing to consider any pro- posals that might be submitted to her leading to a reduction in armamentS and is prepared to participate in an in ternational conference to that end, 1c- cording to Count K. Hirosawa, newly appointed Japanese minister to Spain and Portugal, who arrived here on the liner Suwa Maru today.
 Tt is generally recognized that the United States must take the initiative in world disarmament" Count HiroSawa declared
 Count Hirosawa said he was deeply interested in the British naval policy as announced by Lord Lee and the de- cision of the British government to build four capital ships of the Hood class. He said that Japan already had determined on her naval policy, but would welcome an agreement between world powers to bring about reduc- ton in naval expenditures.

WAGE REDUCTION
 T0 BE RESISTED BY GOAL MINERS
fRepublican A. p. Leased wire1


 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 1S- Any attempts to reduce the wages of coal miners will be resisted by the United Mine Workers of America with the full force of that organization, John L. Lewis, international president, said in a statement here tonight.
 The statement was in connectio;e with the action of the international board now in session in this city in regard to the situation in the state of Washington.
 Operators of commercial coal mines in that state, it was said, closed their mines last Wednesday because the mine workers refused to accept re- duction in wages to the level of Oc tober 31, 1919.
 Officials of the international union took the position that this action by the Washington operators was violation of their agreement with the mine workers which runs until March S1, 1922
 Miners officials assured the Wash ington miners several days ago that the union would give them full support in resisting the reduction. The executive board unanimously approved this at titude of the officials.
 The same action has been taken re garding proposals for reductions in southeastern Kentucky and Tennessee, the statement said.

RAMON JURY WAS READY TO ACQU|T LIN OPENING DAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

ARDMORE, Okla, March 1S-Clara smith Hamon, acquitted yesterday on charge of murdering Jake l.. Hamon. Republican national committeeman and reputed millionaire oil man, spent today resting from eight days in court and reading hundreds of letters and | ltelegrams. She had two conferences with attorneys, who later said nothing had been arrived at regarding the pos sibility of a suit against the Hamon estate, and that, while Clara had be- fore her a number of high salaried offers, she was not considering their acceptance.
 She herself said she was more in terested in making a new start in life and establishing herself with respect to the people in Ardmore, where she
 will remain for the present. In a few
 days. she said, she probably would go to Fl Paso, Tex, where her father is very i'll, and later go to California, i where a married sister lives. At the office of the county attorney of Carter county late today it was
 said there was no intention to pros ecute Clara on the statutory charge whom she lived for ten years at the hotel where she shot him.
 It also was said al the county at .orney's officess that iufoiNlation against Frank Ketch, formerly Ha-
 mons business manager, now admins trator of his estate, charging him with being an accessory after the fact of Hamon's murder, would probably re-
 main in the pigeon hole, never to be served. Ketch testified that he gave
 Clara Hamon s5000 and told her to leave Ardmore and remain away At the county building today the
 district clerk was busy paying the ex- penses of the Hamon trial. He said
 the cost would probably run between thirty-f four and thirty five thousand dollars
 Jurors who rendered the verdict for acquittal yesterday reiterated that only
 one ballot was taken and that it was confirmed by a rising vote. w A. Jolly of Ardmore. a member of the jury. said that when the jury retired
 he said to those around him, by way of feeling out sentiment, Well. men. l favor a first degree murder verdict .
 Then he continued, "one of the oth-
 CTS replied: T favor letting her go and doing it quickly and I added, So do r."
 ''We then sat around and smoked a 1 little and then voted the one time, " MT. Jolly said
 B. F. c. Loughridge, 73 years old, foreman of the jury, said: There never was any question about acquitting her from the start. We never talked about it in the jury room until we got the case officially, but
 there was that look in the eyes of each
 man that told what he had in his mind. The arguments merely took up our time. as we did not consider them at all We already had our minds fully made up

ALLIED OCCUPATION
 IF RHINE DISTRICT
 G|VESNEW PROBLEM
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. March 1S-Allied occupation of additional German terri tory is understood to have presented to President Harding a new problem arising from a relation of these changed conditions to previous plans for early declarations by congress of the ending of the state of war between the United States and Germany.
 Some congressional leaders who all along have been for peace resolution still think that solution should be ap- piled as soon as possible. Other lead CTS, however. who are known to be very close to the president fear that it would cause embarrassment to the nations with which the United States was as- sociated during the war.
 President Harding is represented as having approached his study of the question with the view that the United States should exercise caution in what ever step it determines to take in order that there should be no complications of the already difficult situation faced by the allies.
 President Harding's position may no, be revealed until his message is deliV> cred to the sixty seventh congress et the opening of the special session on April II.

 DURING PAST WEEK
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

L
 DUBLIN, March 1s.-An official statement issued from Dublin Castle this afternoon cnarges three Sim Fein members of the British parliament with responsibility for the organization and control of attacks on forces of the crown in Dublin. The three thus far have succeeded in evading arrest The statement calls attention to the econ omic loss due to imposition of the cur few order, necessitated by the attacks, which it declares, are only slightly successful"
 Since January 1, according to the an- nouncement there have been 50 attacks in Dublin in which one soldier was killed and 12 soldiers wounded four policemen killed and eight wounded and seven civilians, including women and children killed and 40 wounded.
 Throughout Ireland during the week ending March 14 the statement says, seven policemen were killed and ten wounded, eight members of the military forces were wounded and seven civil ians, suspected of giving information to the police, murdered. These figures do not include the former mayor of Limerick whose death at the hands ot assassins is being investigated. There have been 338 internments.
 The house of Mrs. J. W. Lindsay near Mac Room, was burned today. Ii is supposed this was done by Sim Feiners who suspected that she gave information to the police.
