A letter from President Harding
praising the work of Booker T.
Washington was made public today.
In it the President said:
Il think there will be little di-
vergence from the opinion that Book
er T. Washington was one Of the
most useful Americans of his time
and that the work he inaugurated
and SO long directed is already dem
onstrating the wisdom of his atti-
tude toward one of the great public
questions of the nation. My own
views on this subject are in no small
part the result of my observation of
Dr. Washington's work and its re-
suits
II have long felt that Booker T.
Washington had visioned the right
way to deal with our national prob
lem of races in manner most likely
to produce the best effects from the
standpoint of the entire nation and
of all elements of its people. ! am
glad of the occasion thus to signify
my very high esteem for a great
leader"

Oil Man Defends His Act,

Day. in an interview, declared he
had not thought of killing Beck when
he returned to his home and. he al
leges, found the Army officer strug-
Cling with Mrs. Day. His only intent,
Day said. was to drive Beck from his
home. He feared Beck might be
armed. he said, and obtained a re-
volver.
He said the Army officer drew back
one hand and then he struck Beck on
the head with the revolver. The dis
charge of the weapon was accidental,
he asserted. Officials declared it ap-
sufficient to cause death.
Declaring he loved Beck like a
brother" Day asserted. he acted as
almost any d-blooded American
who finds his confidence violated, his
home invaded and his faithful wife
insulted and violently attacked.">
Mrs. Day Describes Slain Man.
A statement came from Mrs Day
early today, giving for the first time
her version Of the killing. She was
under the care of a nurse.
Beck visited our home on numer-
GUS occasions" Mrs. Day said. lone
time he called when Mr.. Day was
away, but it was a very brief visit.
However each time he called. previ-
Gus to Monday night, he acted as a
perfect gentleman in every respect,
coming into our home merely as a
friend. and one whom we were glad
to see because of his geniality. We
greatly enjoyed having him, mas
much as he was brilliant and an ac-
ceptable addition to any company.
EARLY Tuesday morning, however,
after Mr.. Day left in the automobile
to take the other guests home he
seized me by the wrists and threw
one arm around me. 1t was a total
surprise to me. Nothing like that
ever occurred before, and I was
dumbfounded by his action. AS he
held me he made improper proposals
to me. I struggled vainly to free my
self from his grasp.
