TRIAL. OF WARDEN STARTS THURSDAY
Rumors Of Personnel Changes At Banner Going Rounds
 At Court House

Although there have been reports that Warden J. D. Evans would be physically unable to appear for trial Thursday because of illness and a sore foot, it was announced at the office of the clerk of court Wednes- day afternoon that no change had been made in the date of the trial, and that, so far as was known, 1t would be held as arranged.
 No official confirmation could be obtained Wednesday afternoon at the court house of the report that gen eral house cleaning was under way or planned for Banner mine, but 1t IS believed that changes of one kind or another are contemplated.
 It is probable that such changes will be given the appearance of vol untary resignations for personal req sons. It was indicated, for instance, that Dr. B. s. Pettus. physician at the mine, was considering retiring soon to accept a position With pri- vate hospital.
 There have been many rumors re- gently concerning the physical condi- tion of Warden Evans. and it may be that the state of his health VIII be adjudged to be such as to rem der him incapable of attending to the duties of his office.
 IT. H. Traywick, formerly an inside warden, recently stated in an affi- davit filed In connection with libel suit that he had been discharged from his position at Banner because of the publication of story charg- ing him with having been guilty, in the past. of conduct unbecoming a county official
 The grand jury will reconvene Thursday morning after a recess of about two weeks. It is thought that 1t will continue the investigation be- gun by previous grand jury to dis cover the true conditions under which convicts at Banner mine lived and worked.

COOKS ASSOCIATE MUST FACE TRIAL
A. M. Delcambe Must Answer In Oil Fraud Prose-
 cution At Fort Worth

FORT WORTH. Tex, Oct. 3l.- tBy Associated Press )-An effort to obtain the dismissed of one of the 13 defendants on trial with pr. Fred erick A. Cook in the government oil fraud prosecution failed today. Fed eral Judge John NJ. Killits declined to discharge A. NJ. Delcambre, Gpoa motion of his attorney, W. c. Lin den.
 Delcambre became co-defendant with Dr. Cook through the merger of the Rose City Petroleum company with the Petroleum Producers as- sociation Cocks corporation.
 Lindens motion for the discharge of his client was based upon the contention that Delcambre had vio- lated no federal law in completing the merger of his concern with Dr. Cooks company; that the consoli- dation had been ordered by the Rose City stockholders in regular man. ner.
 Judge Killits denied the motion on the ground that the government still was privileged to inquire into Delcambre's intent.
 After day of clashes between counsel of the defense and Judge Killits, in which the court arraigned defense attorneys for their im- proper attitude" and 'insidious sug- eestions," the Cook trial had appar- ently passed it's storm center and Wednesday was more orderly than at any time since the case begun.

Sen. Couzens Declares De- troit Man Made Reckless
 Charges Against Weeks

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. S5.-(By As- sociated Press.)-Henry Ford does not announce his candidacy for the presidency because he is afraid 1t will be as great fasco as his peace ship, United States Senator James Couzens declared tonight in an ad- dress at 9 dinner of the Detroit Re- publican club.
 Referring to the automobile manu facturer, who recently criticized the stand for five per cent beer, MT. Couzsns said
 Why does Henry Ford refrain from announcing his candidacy for President of the United States He Is afraid it would be as big fiasco as his peace ship.
 Senator Couzens and Henry Ford were associated in the Ford Motor company when the company was still in it's infancy. During the address Senator Couzens referred to the att tomobife manufacturer as a 'lovableH man and declared that he loved For as much as any man could love an others
 But when Henry Ford differs with me on an amendment which l proposed to the Volstead act and says, according to newspaper inter view, that I know better than to pro
  lenges my integrity and sincerity" Senator Couzens declared.
 Ford has never recovered from his defeat as a candidate for the Senate in 191S," Senator Couzons asserted, and for a man so politically am bilious he has made more untitled statements than any other man In America.
 Dacks Up Weeks.
 He attacked the Secretary of War. John W. Weeks, when he issued his statement relative to the sale of the power plant at Muscle shoals, Ala, to the Alabama Power com pany,' Senator Couzens continued. The senator then read part of the statement from MT. Ford as follows
 My offer stands before Congress, 1 will have no further deal ings with Secretary Weeks. I have strong conviction that l was not dealing with the United states when I was dealing with MT. Weeks"
 That is a direct challenge on the integrity of MT. Weeks" MT. Couzens Tt shows with what recklessness Ford attacks other peo- ple. MT. Ford used the Mrs scle shoals issue more for political pur- noses than from a desire to manufac- ture nitrate for fertilizer for the farmers. It Is conmendatory to the United States Congress and govern ment that a man so powerful mas been unable to browbeat Congress into giving him unfair advantage or Muscle Shoals"
