Wally Reed, the popular screen ar
fist, is dead. victim Of the use and
abuse of narcotics, curse to the hui
man family that is claiming an in
creasing number of victims from year
to year. A year ago we were informed
by a gentleman who was in a position
to know whereof he spoke, that Wall
ace Reed, so far as he was able to
ascertain after close investigation
of conditions among the moving pic
ture people of Hollywood, was the
only actor of any note among the
Hollywood community addicted to
dope, and enc female actress who has
won fame and fortune as a screen
beauty, whose identity it is not neces-
sary to mention as she may have CIV
en- up the forbidden drug. Few per-
formers for the screen have won
greater popularity than Wallace Reed
and his health, such an unnecessary
death. will be regretted by every
movie fan in the country.

Down in Arkansas there is a railroad
known as the Missouri & North Ar
kansas. 1t is alleged that for nearly
two years striking railroad men have
been burning bridges and destroying
railroad property to such an extent
that the road was on the verge Of dis
continuing operations. The constituted
authorities could not or would not
take steps either to protect the prop
erty or bring the perpetrators of the
outrages to Justice At last public in

pie living along the line or road de-
pending upon it as a means of trans
portation, became so great that the

turned loose. A mob does not reason.
1t does not take evidence and carefully
base its findings as to guilt or inno-
cense upon that evidence. 1t is out to
function along lines of violence and it
functions. In this case striking rail-
road men were driven from the COM
munity, out OF their homes, and in
one instance striker was killed. The
action of this mob cannot be defended
no matter how serious the provocation
but now the heads of trainmen's
unions are taking a stand that gives
us pause. Fierce and vigorous protests
are being sent to the governor of Ar
kansas and other officials against this
violence perpetrated upon the strik-
ers. A deman dis made that those TAX
ing part in the mob be prosecuted and
punished. And yet there is no record
anywhere that these same heads of
unions depreciating the acts of the
mob ever made public protests against
thes trikers wno destroyed the railroad
property, thus jeOpardizing the lives
of innocent people. No one ever heard
of the heads of the miners union ex-
pressing horror for the Herrin whole
sale murders. 1t is all right for the
strikers to slaughter at will but an
outrage if a striker is interfered with
in any manner in carrying out his
bloody work of elimination of those
who may stand in his way What
helluva of world this is, anyhow.

II seems that some of our legislators
are obsessed with the idea that some
means should be discovered for col.
lecting more money through new
sources of taxation. 1t is not more
money this state needs but less expen-

greater disbursements and it is the

Weeks Reveals Offer of For
eign Nation in Speech
at San Diego.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, May 21-An
earnest plea to senators and repre-
sentatives surrounding him TO support
action for suitably honoring officers
and men of the Army and Navy who
| render conspicuous service was made
by John W. Weeks, Secretary of War,
who came here yesterday on the
transport Grant with a large con-
gressienal party. The Secretary was
making an address congratulating
two such officers, Lieuts John A.
Macready and Oakley G. Kelly. Of the
air service. who recently piloted the
great monoplane T-2 across the con-
tinent to San Diego.
Secretary Weeks said: There is
no other country in the world that
treats it's officers as we do.
81 wish it were possible for the
War Department to promote one, two
or three officers each year for out
standing conspicuous service"
Hope for Appropriations.
Secretary Weeks also voiced a hope
that there would be full cooperation
between Army and Navy appropria-
tions committees, and went on record
as favoring plan of placing the
/
gion War Memorial Museum here.
Secretary Weeks declared that a
short time ago the War Department
received an offer from foreign
country to purchase 100000 rifles and
1000 rounds of ammunition for each.
We. knew said the Secretary,
that this foreign country did not in
tend to buy the rifles and ammunition
to shoot birds. The United States is
not assisting any country to prepare
for war, and rather than sell the
rifles and ammunition for the purpose
they evidently were intended for.
would rather dump them into the
sea-.
To FOrtify Canal.
The Secretary promised his audience
the Panama canal would be made i'm
pregnable by fertilization. and, dis
spection trip being made by num-
Der Of senators and representatives
with him on the transport Grant,
said each was paying his own way.
The Secretary and the congressman
were taken to the destroyer base and
there saw sixty-six de-commissioned
destroyers./ which Capt. H. La Bris-
mer Of the Navy said were worth
more than S125.00o,000. Several of
the congressman asked about the
destroyers and one inquired of Capt.
Brismer how long it would take to
get one of the destroyers ready for
service again.
About Ave days IL we had the nee
essary men," said the officer.

Charles w. Morse, his three sons and
four others conspired to defraud the
United States and the Fleet Corpora

jury. and it is understood the gov

the rest since the adjournment of the

wore a yellow pansy in the button
hole of his coat.

Herbert D. Brown. trea surer of the
kearfott Engineering Company, was
called as a witness for the prosccu-

ness declared. Attorneys Nash Rock
wood and Wilton j. Lambert for the
defense had no questions to ask the
witness except to have him repeat
that the notes had been paid.
Charles H. Case OF Philadelphia. a
certified public accountant, was the
next witness. He had been travel
ing auditor for the fleet corporation
in 1917 and 1918 and knew Harry F.
Morse. one Of the defendants. He
identified a letter from D. H. Bender,
general auditor of the fleet corpora
ton, dated October 16, 1917. inclosing
check for $3s1,275 to be placed in
the Seaboard National Bank of New
York in a restricted account, to be
drawn from only on joint checks of
the officers of the fleet corporation
and officials of the Groton iron works.
He pointed out that the title to the
money was to remain in the fleet cor
poration. and the bank was directed
to forward the interest check direct
to Washington each month. The wit
ness told how this account was dis
burSed.
