Hardwick to Deliver
Farewell Message to
Assembly in Person

Governor-elect Clifford M. Walk
er's inauguration will differ from
others of recent years in that the
ceremonies will be marked by two
addresses from the rostrum Of the
speaker in the house of representa-
tives-a valedictory by Governor
Hardwick the retiring executive,
and an inaugural address by Mr..
Walker, the incoming governor. So
far as can be ascertained, no other
inaugural exercises in the history
of the state have taken this course.
Although Governor Hardwick is
reticent as to his plans, it is report
ed on good authority that he expects
to appear in person before the new
legislature. In relinquishing his au
thority, power and prerogatives, the
governor will, it is said, deliver his
farewell message in the form of an
address.
It has been the unbroken custom
heretofore for retiring governors to
have their farewell messages printed
in pamphlet form. These are dis
tributed among the members of the
general assembly, to be read al
leisure. A copy of the message is
filed with the secretary of state.
Governor HardWick does not in
tend to follow this course, it is said
because he feels that his recon-
mendations respecting many things
are sufficiently important to merit
more than perfunctory consideration
He believes the best way to get his
views before the legislators is by
word of mouth, hence his purpose
to deliver his farewell address.

BOARD CONF ERR|NG
UPON SHAKE: Up IN
COLLEGE FACULTY

SALTWATER, Okla, June s.
The three Farmer-Labor league
members Of the state board of agri-
culture were here today comforting
with George Wilson, new president
of Oklahoma A. & M. college. in re-
gard to faculty appointments.
Wilson announced his faculty list
would be submitted to the board Of
agriculture tomorrow at its meet
ing in Oklahoma City.
The three board members, J. E.
Royce, Pete Coyne and H. M. Still
well, came to saltwater last night
to see Wilson informally after John
A. Whitehurst, board president, had
blocked an attempt to hold meet
ing of the body in saltwater.
Whitehurst who has opposed Will
son bitterly, declared he would
mot be bossed around by Governor
Walton" The governor had direct
ed that the board meet in SILVIA
ter to receive Wilson'S faculty rec
concentrations. Whitehurst is an
c .ctive officer.
A thorough shake-up in the per-
sonnet of the faculty is anticipated
under the new president. Wilson
made it plain that faculty members
who were not in sympathy with him
would go, but he said that until
their places should be filled prop
erly they would be discharged.
Some Of the more important posts
will have to be filled as result
of the resignation of ten of the
leading faculty members, all of
whom declared they did not care to
be associated with an institution
headed by Wilson, a. former non
partisan league worker and organ
izer of the Farmer-Labor Recon
struction League of Oklahoma, who
has been condemned by the Ameri-
can Legion, department of Oklaho-
ma, as unfit for any position Of
public trust"

escort to Wilson remained on duty

BATTLED FOR LIFE
WITH z He KILLED,
DRY AGENT STATES

How he was forced to battle for
his life on the running board of a
speeding automobile which had just
knocked down two of his compan-
ions was related Monday by Federal
Prohibition Agent A. H. Gastley
when he personally reported to Fred
D. Dismuke, state prohibition direc-
tor, details of the killing Of Jet and
j. b. Smith, of Athens. The two
Smiths were slain Friday night
when posse attempted to stop the
automobile which is alleged to have
contained whisky.
Agent Gastley displayed powder
burns on his face which he said
were received when a pistol was
fired in his face by one of the
Smiths. -Four shots were fired at
him at close range, he said and one
Of them just missed the finger of
the hand with which he was holding
on to the car, causing him to lose
his balance and fall from the ma
chine.
Struggle for Weapon
He was handicapped in Nreturning
the fire, he declared, because the
driver of the automobile tried to
wrest his pistol from him while the
other man fired, ne. said.
Agent Gastley reported that he
and his posse had set trap for the
liquor car, and that his men were
scattered along the road. When
the men in the liquor car was realized

GIANT ARMY TANK SKIRMISH
VIEWED BY WAR COLLEGE MEN
Huge Units of Land Fleet
Demonstrate Elements of
New Machines Predicted
for Battles of Future Years

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Uncle
Sans herd of mechanical elephants
were on display yesterday at the
! army tank school, Camp Meade, Md,
in a demonstration put on for the
benefit of some seventy officers and
instructors from the staff school at
the Army War college. Half a
dozen of the huge, numbering Mark
| VIII giant tanks developed dur
ing the war, but too late to share
in the fighting, and a whole flock
of the six-ton French type, which
did get into action, participated in
the show
The demonstration is one of the
series of educational exhibits for the
staff college students, all of whom
are experienced officers whose mill
| tary instruction is being rounded out
to insure an adequate supply of gen
eral officers and men with general
staff qualifications.
Colonel S. DIS Rockenbach, COM
mandant of the tank corps and
school, sent two of his huge forty
ton Mark VIII monsters sIlirmish-
ing through Sthe heavy woods on
either side of a narrow roadway.
Towering trees went down before
them like reeds, the tanks grinding
them remorselessly under the steel
shod runners. At times each tank
was knocking over half dozen trees
at the same time, literally roofing
them from the earth. Not an inch
to right or left from the selected
course were the monsters forced to
swerve.
Later a miniature tank attack was
delivered over the rough, sandy
field that is the playground of the
school herd Three MARK Wits"
led the drive, their six-pounder guns
and machine. guns snarling as they
crept forward behind a smoke
barrage from their guns.
Behind the big fellows came far
flung line of the little six-tonners,
spitting~with machine gun and one
FOUNDER fire.
Colonel Rockenbach explained to
the visiting officers that what they
had seen thus far We're tanks dee
Veloped during the war. He recalled
| that in the first requisition from
General Pershing for tank equip
ment, the call had come for the ele-
ments which would make up a land
fleet. Since the war, he added, some
| progress toward filing that requisi-
! ton had been made.
At a signal the new type, the. Is
| ton medium tank of the future,
charged out into the rough field. 1t
fairly raced over humps and hum
mocks at a 12-mile gait, twisting
and turning like motor boat. Be
hing it came a seventy five" gun
riding a similar mechanism and
plunging about the field at high
speed regardless of holes or bitches.
1t Travelled with equal speed in
either direction. Behind these two
came the cross-country truck for
ammunition, gasoline, oil and sup
plies. These three, Colonel Rocken-
bach said, were the beginnings OF
the American land fleet that would
play a great role in any future war
None Of them was perfected aE
yet, he added, but within them were
the elements of new day in battle
when machines would take more OF
the burden from the fighting men
