JOINT MEMORIAL
SERVICES HELD

A good1y number of friends of both
Post and w R. c. gathered at the G.
A. R. Hall last Sunday afternoon
where joint memorial services were
held to honor the memory of the
comrades of the Post and members
of the w. R. c. who have passed
away into the realms of the Great
Beyond" during the year. The music
was furnished by trio, composed of
Mrs. Mary Green, Mrs. Joe Davis and
Mr.. Geo. Whitman, with Miss Mary
Frances Turner accompanying on the
organ.
The flags were grouped together
before the altar and tied with black
crepe streamers and twined about with
broad garland of cedar and hand
some chrysanthemums were laid in
lovely profusion on the altar. At the
conclusion of the impressive services
the audience joined in singing that
dear familiar hymn, Nearer Ny God
OF Thee and as we left the hall, this
little verse came into our mind:
"And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill,
But! O, for the touch of vanished
hand
And the sound of voice that is
still"
The Post were fortunate in securing
the services of Mr.. Roy Chasteen as
drummer for the occasion and the
praise and appreciation of all present
that afternoon is extended to him for
his efficient services.

MORE LUMBER GRAFT
! TESTIMONY HEARD
Mississippian Tells of $4,000
Z Transaction Concerning
Army Surplus.
GUNTEA IS CROSS-EXAMINED
Considered Lumber Bonus Revision
Legitimate, He Says.

Following ruling in its favor by
Justice Bailey at the lumber fraud
trial in Criminal Division of the
District Supreme Court the prosecu
tion today continued to introduce tes-
timony concerning alleged graft pay
ments to George NJ. Chambers, the
dead government inspector.
Ehe government also offered the
testimony of Milton l.. Wootten of
Columbus. Miss, who declared he
paid John l.. Phillips of Georgia sl2.-
600 for stock in the Southern Lumber
and Timber Company in 1919, when
the witness was handling large guam
titles of the Army surplus lumber,
and before the end of 1920 resold the
stock To Phillips for $50 The diner
encc was charged off in his income
return for 1920 as IA loss, the witness
said.
Question of Conspiracy.
When Edward Hamilton. d witness
from Perth Amboy, \. j.. was offered
by the prosecution and attempted 10
tell of payments TO Chambers. Al,
torncy George +. sullivan. of counsel
for John L. Philips, objected unless
tho government was prepared to show
that the payments Went to some OF
the other defendants. Mr.. Sullivan
urged that prima facie case OF con
spiracy had not Yet been established
by the government. Justice balieH
decided to receive the evidence de-
cIaring there was sufficient testimony
80 far from which the jury might
infer the existence of conspiracy
between Chambers and Johh l..
Philips.
Hamilton testified that he PAID
Chambers $4,000 in cash on one occa-
sion, s7oo on another and gave MN
liberty bonds of $4,000 at third
time, in addition to paying the price
fixed in the contract to the govern
ment for the purchase of the lumber.
Mr. Wo0tten then told of his trans
action with John l.. Philips.
Considered II Legitimate.
George H. Van Gunten of Newark,
N j.. under cross examination by At
torney Charles A. Douglas for John l..
Philips, yesterday afternoon admitted
that he considered the arrangement
which he had with Chambers as to
he division of the bonus collected on
lumber sales a legitimate transaction.
Later he declared he had seen the
light and entertained different
view.
Van ,iunten was followed by Nor
ris RachIin of Newark. who is con-
nectcd with the Union and Franklin
lumber companies He told OF max
ing a contract for lumber which had
been called to his attention by the
previous witness. The contract price
SIS per thousand. but the witness
arranged to pay s. additional per
thousand TO Van Gunten. He declared
he was paying Van Gunten for get
ting the lumber for him and for the
services of Van Gunten in eXpediting
delivery. All payments were made
by check. he said.

LYNCHING PLAN
OF Kinks FOR
MAY | SPEAKERS
Sheriffs Save Swabeck
And Mass From Mob
The strike must spread.

BENTON, Ill, May 4.-The mayor
of Christopher, ILL.,, and his Ku Klu1
friends nearly put bloody blot or
May Day in their town. They pre-
vented the scheduled meeting in the
park and stopped the meeting after
it had adjourned to the Miners Hal
by arresting Barney Mass, organizer
for the Y w. L., and Arne Swabeck
organizer for the Workers Party, who
were the chief speakers.
Ready to Lynch.
County sheriffs took Mass and Swa
beck from the town of Christopher
and brought them here to the county
seat. The Ku Kluxers followed and
when the officials machine stuck in
the mud the Ku Klux leader came up
with a rope and gun and demand
ed that Swabeck and Mass be turned
over to him.
One of the sheriffs quickly seized
the Kluxer's gun and turned ii
against the X. KS chest. The man
turned about to find five other guns
at his back. He gladly withdrew his
request.
The sheriffs then hurried their pris
oners on to town, where the men
were kept under arrest all day. They
were released at night when the
states attorney became convinced
that they had not advocated the
overthrow of the government by
force and violence"
Many coal miners had come into
Christopher to celebrate May Day
but the mayors police prevented
them from entering the park.
Mayor Won't Hear Boisheviks.
I'VE amt goin' to allow any damn
ed Bolshevik speeches or May Day
celebration anywhere in Christie
pher." was the mayors ultimatum.
Barney Mass opened the meeting II
Miners Hall with quotations from ths
United States Constitution, but the
guarantees OF free speech meant
nothing TO the Christopher righteous
and they insisted on the sheriffs' ar
resting Mass and Swabeck. One o.
the Ku Kluxers wanted to take Mass
out TO beat the hell out of him." bu
the sheriffs objected and took tn,
men off to this town. They we're helt
