Strong hints were thrown out to-
day of coming disclosures involving
prominent men in the Hamon case.
Significant mention is made OF a
suit Of clothes now reposing In a
vault in the courthouse.
After the death of Jake Il. Hamon,
Oklahoma oil king and Republican
national committeeman, Russell
Brown, the county attorney, de-
nianded for evidence the clothes
worn by Hamon on the night he re-
ceived the bullet wound which cost
him his life.
:, SHOW NO BULLET MARKS.
The clothes in the court house vault
were sent Brown by Frank Ketch,
business manager of the Hamon in
terests, now administrator OF the oil
kings estate and one OF the first per-
sons summoned to the oil kings
death bed. according to statements
given by Brown himself. Although
Hamon is said to have bled profuse-
ly. none of the garments In the vault
show a trace OF blood, IL is stated.
II asked Frank Ketch for the
clothes worn by Hamon." said Brown
today. The suit he sent me bears no
bullet hole Another remarkable fact
is that the clothes show no sign of
blood"
Brown then declared: ~ have never

GUATEMALA PLANS

The income tax, similar to that In

Guatemala some time this year. &C
cording to announcement made here
today by Julio Bianchi. minister
from Guatemala, who states that the
taxation system of his country will
be reorganized.
The Central American diplomat an
nounced that President Herrera has
appointed a committee of nine ciu-
zens, headed by Minister of Finance
Medrano. and including three promi-
nent bankers, to work out details
for the new system.
The statement follows; ------.--... .
AT present nearly all government
revenues are from import and ex-
port duties, liquor taxes and q small
