Sir! feel that at this time when

alone can our Congressmen be shown
the real tenor Of opinion which exists
throughout the thinking element Of ex.
service men. am willing to wager
that nine -tenths Of those in favor of
the bill have never been shown the dis.
astrous consequences to commerce which
the useless expenditure Of this gigantic
sum OF money would surely bring about.
Just at this time. after two years.

Mildred Reckitt was a stenokrapher

shot and killed several weeks ago by
Mrs. Catharine Roster. who also killed
her husband Oscar. The petition filed

"You know you are n liar: you admit
that" He stepped forward belliger'
"Yes. I'll udmit it # you want it
that way" Regan conceded.
"Why did you represent yourselr as

Regan replied he did not say he rep.
resented the board, but the other con-
tradicted him. Copies Of the petition
then were demanded from Regan. and
he handed them to the slain girls father.
The lawyer said he would withdraw
the petition which has been forwarded
to Harrisburg.
"This was the most outrageous thing

he prepared to leave the inclosed space
occupied by Regan. The lawyer did
not reply and Reckitt and his COM
panions left.
Before Mr.. Reckitt called on him, Re :
gan had been questioned about the
transaction. He explained he had
studied law under Mr.. Mackey, had
desk room in the Mackey suite and
specialized in compensation cases. He
said he was not associated with Mr..
Mackey in the practice Of law.
Regan's name appears on the door of
the suite beneath that of Mr.. Mackey
and the inscription "Workmen's Com
