always been above reproach."

General John J. Pershing, who accom-

to Oklahoma City last Monday and
was a member of the party at the Day
home there, declared Beck was never

Major Paddock. 'He faced death as a
matter of duty in the air and on the
ground too many times to play the
role of a coward dog regardless of
the position he was found in.
knowing Col. Beck as | did. | can
almost say positively he did not jump
behind any curtain. 1t was not like
him to do anything of that kind even
though he was caught in tight
place.
He was not a coward and Just why
the statement is made that he hid
behind such a fiimsy thing as cur
tain is beyond me.
AT no time during our stay in the
Day home was any liquor served to
our party" Major Paddock declared.
