Tax Levy to be Reduced

Supt. Davis Jeffries says the tax
levy for Union School District for cur
rent expenses can be reduced IL
mills. The present levy was neces-
sary to pay an Indebtedness, due to a
raise in the teachers salaries during
the war. This indebtedness has been
paid.
superintendent Jeffries further says
the / II mill reduction from current
expenses will take care of the $75 900
bond issue, hence it will not be nee
essary to increase the total school tax
levy on account of the bonds voted
last year for new school building.

killing of Lieut.. Col. Beck on the
ground that he slew in self defense
while attempting to keep his home in
violate. Day and his wife are the only
known witnesses.
Oklahoma City, April County
Attorney Hughes, in a statement to-
day giving the result of his investiga-
ton, declared that if Jean p. Day,
wealthy oil operator and attorney
shot and killed Lieut.. Col. Paul Ward
Beck, army fiier, Gin defense of his
home, and if he tells the true story
of the tragedy any red blooded jury
will acquit him."
Day "saw something that swept him
off his feet" when he returned to his
home early Tuesday and found his
wife in the arms of Lieutenant Col
onel Beck, the attorney said he was
convinced. Beck was not looking at
Judge Day at the time of the firing"
he added.
"It was not in self defense the at
torney shot Beck down." Hughes said.
"It is my opinion Day has not told
the whole truth"
Attorneys for Day, however, de-
clared he "had told the whole truth
and added that Day and Mrs. Day
would tell at the coroner's inquest
Saturday the same story they have
made public because it is the truth"
"An important matter, think, has
been entirely overlooked" Hughes
statement said. at is the proposition
of handkerchief being found in the
clenched hand of Paul Beck. What
was Beck doing with his handkerchief
Immediately before the gun was dis
charged?"
Day has declared that he returned
home to find Mrs. Day fighting Beck.
Day said he went upstairs, obtained
a revolver, came down and, confront
ing Beck, struck the army officer over
the head with the revolver when Beck
drew back one hand. The discharge of
the revolver was accidental, he as
serted.
zone thing is absolutely certain in
my mind and that is that the gun was
cent to the head of Paul Beck,
Hughes declared. "Whether Beck was
shot from the front or back is one of
the greatest questions involved in the
case. X-ray photographs indicate
Beck was not in position to see his
slayer:
Judge Day asserts that he fired in
self defense. In my Judgment, II the
shot was fired in defense it was fir
defense of home and not Of life Ss<es a
Declaring Day and Beck had beer
close friends hsforesest tia ssaasx,4
Hughes asked:
"What extraordinary occurrence
changed the mental condition of the
one towards the other? What caused
Mrs. Day after the shooting to moan
oh, my honor'?"
Hughes asserted in his opinion there
was no doubt that "liquor had beer
served at the Day home the night OF
the killing" but he said he believed
Day was not under the influence OF
liquor when the shot was fired. 81
do not believe that there were any
other parties in the house at the time
of the firing of the fatal shot except
Day, Mrs. Day and Paul Beck" the
statement said.
Mrs. Day was melancholy today
remaining in her boudoir and hav
ing little TO say to friends.

The Woodman play, carl johnson"
PLAYED to a packed house Friday eve
ming, and put over a much better
play than anyone had anticipated. The
play advocates the d~esirability. of
Woodman insurance. inasmuch as it
is so much cheaper than the old line
insurance companies. Carl Yohnson
who Joins the Woodmen was played by
Carl S.jovall, who played the part of
the green Swede to perfection and
brought down the house with his clev-
er Interpretation Of his part.
David Hedman. who sold life in
a for the New York consolidate
ed Mutuals, also starred as a bustling
and rapid speaking insurance agent.
The part of De Smokey, the dude, was
played by Ralph Lundquist, and made
a great hit. Gustav Nelson, as Con-
sui Of the Woodman Camp. was espec
ially we'll fitted for the dignified part
he assumed. The other parts were
minor, tho they certainly deserve TIN
same credit for making the play a
splendid ucces The stage settings
were good, and the curtain painted by
Alfred Lundberg was certainly a sur
prise. The camp took in ten new
members and some S84 at the door,
so considered it a financial success as
we'll.
