Mahon today assumed the role Of
Santa Claus to the twenty-seven I'M
bibers in Christmas cheer" ar
raigned before him. He freed them
under their personal bonds.
The court session was brief, but
was somewhat reminiscent Of the
Christmas morning of pre-Volstead
fame. The booze odor" pervaded
the court room.
A colored janitor of large apart
ment house was the first to come
before the court.
"When were you arrested?''
queried Judge Mcmahon
Three o'clock yisttidy," was the
reply.
at may as we'll let you out" de-
clared the court, "the tenants in
your house will take care Of you
for not attending to the furnace
this morning"
Each of the twenty-seven pleaded
guilty to the charges preferred
against them, wistfully suppressing
an "T-know- you-will-let-me-go" smile.
There is one though. who will
spend his Christmas and New Year
and then a few days more In the
District 1ail. He is Lester L.
Howard, a young white youth. who
was convicted Of driving a machine
while under the influence Of the

Staying CASE
WITNESSES
MISSING
Man Who Saw Policeman Fire
Fatal Shot Mysteriously
Disappears.

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-Detectives
trying to fit together conflicting
fragments of evidence to learn 20
Iiceman John L. Coleman's motive
for shooting John s. Degnan, team
ing contractor today, tried to locate
the principal witness Of the kiiling'
william H. Esther.
Esther has not been found since ne
walked from the scene OF the shoot
ing yesterday, after giving his name
10 the police and his account OF the
killing, widely variant with the
story told by Coleman in admitting
that a bullet from his pistol ended
the contractors life. Degnan was
driving home from g. wake to the
Christmas tree which his wife ana
six children had decorated as sur
Prise for him when he was slain.
Appeals to Police.
Mrs. Asher, herself an expectant
mother, has appealed to police to
locate her missing husband. She
feared his knowledge Of how Deg
nan met his death may be connected
with his disappearance.
Coleman, who was suspended from
the police department after admit
ting the shooting, said that he went
on a party" with friends after get
ting off duty at q. m. and that
three hours later, after a disagree
ment with his companions he was
seeking one who had stolen his star
when Degnan's large touring car
and a smaller car passed.
Joseph rabbit" Connen, the COM
panion, he said, took his star,
started shooting from the smaller
car, and Degnan, in the larger car,
also fired, Coleman said. He re
turned the fire and Degnan fell
with a bullet through the head.
Police found no gun in Degnan's
car. the curtains of which were
closely drawn.
Says There Was One Car.
Esther said that there was but
one car, the one Degnan drove, and
that no shots were fired except by
Coleman. Joseph Leider, another
witness of the Staying. told a story
similar 10 Esher's.
Counsel for the policeman Sc

FORD A PUZZLE
To KANSAS
PARTIES
Politicians Said to Be Much
Concerned Over Detroit
Manufacturers Plans.
By CARL L. TURNER,
international News Service

KANSAS CITY; Dec 25.-Henry
Ford win get you if you don't watch
out.
Such is the threat that is ringing
constantly these days in the ears
of all Kansas politicians, be they
Democrats or Republicans.
If the Detroit millionaire has the
politicians of the other states guess
ing as much as he has the party
engineers" OF Kansas he is causing
considerable uneasiness.
The general fear is that Ford viii
not seek the presidential nomination
Of either major party, but will enter
the 1924 maelstrom under an indie
pendent banner. Within a week sew
eral Republican and Democra tic
authorities have openly told of their
fear of F'ord's candidacy.
Ignores Leaders.
So far as Kansas is concerned
Ford seems to be playing a DELHI
crate game of ignoring party
leaders. 1t is known that several
prominent State Democrats have
made advances to him with the
purpose Of lining up with him, but
to all appearances Ford has ig.
nored them completely.
A factor thar may play an inn
portant part of the Ford maneuver.
ing is the attitude of the Ford sales
and mechanical employees through
out Kansas and other States.
A high official of the Ford as.
sembly plant here was asked to OK.
plain his attitude toward his EN-
ployer as a presidential candidate
He replied:
There is no question about the
sincerity of Mr.. Ford In what he
goes into, and believe there Is nc
question but that he would take
the presidential nomination were II
offered him.
eff either Of the national parties
nominate Mr.. Ford, viii be for
him aggressively. OF course, I shall
be for him anyway, but / would pre-
fer to see one Of the major parties
nominate him.
81 believe that If Mr.. Ford were
President he would make more
beneficial sweeping changes in mat
ters or putting the Government or
a more efficient basis"
No Detroit Urging.
. The Official was asked If he haC
received any request or suggestion
from Detroit to boost Ford's candi
dacy to which he replied:
Neither the Ford Motor Cal
Company nor any of its official.
viii make any suggestion to EN-
ployes as to what their politica
choice should be. know l an
speaking with authority when I say
that 1t will be Mr.. Ford's wishes
that such matters be left to thu
judgement of each Individual"
The above statement, OF course
came from the executive offices
ana did not necessarily represent
the opinion of the multitude o.
workers in the assembly rooms
Hence several of the latter were
questioned similarly. =
Foremen. polishers, mechanics
uphOlsters and janitors of tn,

Of the flight of time l have no idea:
it may have been three hours, and
1t may have been five, that the In
dian labored to reanimate his mas
ter's body. One thing only l know,
that it was still night, and the moon
was not yet set, although it had sunk
low, and now barred the plateau with
long shadows, when Secundra ut
tered a small cry of satisfaction; and,
leaning swiftly forth, I thought l could
myself perceive a change upon that
icy countenance of the unburied. The
next moment l beheld his eyelids
f%lutter; the next they rose entirely,
and the week-old corpse looked me
for a moment in the face.
So much display Of life l can my
self swear to. l have heard from
that he visibly strove to speak,
that his teeth showed in his beard,

About 80 farmers met at the farm
bureau office at Colfax recently and
made plans to bring in a carload of
high grade dairy COWS. An expert
will be sent to purchase the animals,
farmers agreeing that maintenance of
purebred stock is one way of solving
their problems. Secretary Brick Bur-
ford reports that difficulty is being ex-
perienced in providing good stock for
four recently organized swine clubs.
