FINISHES HER STORY

Washington. March s7-Roxie
Stinson. divorced wife Of Jess W.
Smith, practically wound up her tcs-
timony today before the Dausherty
investigating committee, but not I'M
Ill she had provided the occasion for
another row between the committee
and the attorney generals counsel.
Former President Harding's name
was again brought to the edge OK
the inquiry but the committee dis
claimed any intention of letting 1t
get in. Attorney General Daugher-
tvs counsel, seeking to develop her
story that Smith had told her Ave
men in Washington made $50, 200, zoo
in an oil stock deal insisted on know
ing who the men were. --,-..
my impression is that she will
name the president of the United
States" former Senator Chamber
lain, one of MIR. DauSherty's attor-
neys. exclaimed amidst the turmoil
when the committee stopped the
pressing Of the question. Miss Stin-
son left the stand without answer
ine.
We are not going to walk into

Democrat, Arizona, to the attorney
generals counsel. You would like
very much to have US be charged
with besmirchinF the name Of some
one now dead, but we are not going
to walk into your trap"
Meanwhile the attorney generals
continuance in the cabinet again be-.
came the subject of speculation
throughout official Washington.
Further proceedings OF the inquiry
committee brought out qualified re-
fusnl from the attorney general to
allow the committees agents access
to his departments files for a gen

wartime frauds In aircraft with the
possible passage of bride money to-

was concluded with Chairman Brook

ney general was refusing.
Senator Wheeler. Democrat, Mon
tana, was back to direct the taking
of testimony when Miss Stinson was
recalled today.
Paul Rowland. one OF Mr.. Daugh-
erty's lawyers ended a short cross
examination by citing her testimony
OF the previous day to the effect that
Jess Smith told her that 1--WE men"
had made $4,000. 900 in n few days
in deal in SinclaiR. oil stocks. He
directed her to give the names. The
examination stopped while former
Senate. Chamberlain, assisting Mr..
Rowland, Senator Wheeler, and
Senator Ashurst. and Chairman
Brookhart took part in bitter
wrangle as to what Miss Stinson had
said. and as TO what she should DO
allowed to say.
The committee ruled. Chairman
Brookhart said. that her statement
OF the names would not be pertinent
to the inquiry, and as Senator
Wheeler charged Senator Chamber
lain with misrepresentation the lat
ter warned him to "be Careful" ana
spoke of senatorial immunity" but
which Senator Wheeler offered TO
waive. Senator Chamberlain then
made his statement as to what he
expected her answer would be.

Good Makes Denial

Washington, March 27.-Charges
by Senator Johnson of California
that shameless expenditures were
made by the Coolidge campaign
managers in South Dakota, are mot
true" former Representative James
w. Good. in charge of Coolidge
headquarters at Chicago, declared
here tonight in q statement.
Mr. WOODS statement was as fol-
lows:
II am amazed at the statement of
senator Hiram johnson to the effect
that the Coolidge headquarters has
made lavish expenditures in South
Dakota in an attempt to purchase
the electorate of that state in the
recent preferential primaries. This
statement would be serious II true.
but 1t Is not true.
In the statement we are charged
with in hiring an army of orators and
IN buying full. page advertisements in
every newspaper in South Dakota. The
full page newspaper advertisements
were inserted in but very few Of the
newspapers of South Dakota. These
advertisements consisted largely of
letters, kilograms and statements from
the senator's former friends and sup
porters in California, Secretary Of La
Dor Hon James l.. Davis. ex-Secretary
of the treasury Hon. Leslie M. Shaw,
Ex-Governor Harding of Iowa, former
Congressman Humphreys of Washing
ton, two women. and James Knox Of
Indiana.
mo other speakers were sent into
South Dakota and but a very few resi-
dents of South Dakota took the stump
in behalf of the president. The state
ment that the campaign has been car
ried on by the most reckless and
shameless use of money had no more
justification than the statement with
regard to the use of an army Of aro-
tors.
THE campaign for Mr.. Coolidge in
South Dakota was carried on along the
most economical lines, the speakers be-
ing largely volunteers, and in view of
the unwarranted attacks on President
Coolidge the campaign was conducted
at very reasonable outlay of money.
All things considered, we are pleased
with the result of the South Dakota
primary. 1t was a great moral victory,
the value of which cannot be lessened
by untrue statements as to how it was
achieved"

CAN GET MULE DEER
FREE FOR GRATING
PAY COST OF HOUSING AND
UNCLE SAM WILL PRESENT
YOU WITH A SPECIMEN.

"If you want little Kaibab mule
deer in your back yard apply at once
to the United States Forest Service,
Department of Agriculture.
Immediate reduction of the deer
herd on the Kaibab National Forest,
northern Arizona, has been strongly
recommended by a special committee
appointed by Secretary Wallace to
study and report on conditions exist
ing on the Grand Canyon game pre-
serve
The committee, consisting OF John
B. Burnham, American Game Protec-
tive Association; Hayward Cutting, of
the Boone and Crockett club; T. Gil
bert Pearson, Audubon Society and
National Parks Association, and L.
w. Tomlinson, American National
Live Stock Association, made a per-
sonal inspection of the Kaibab plateau,
on which the Grand Canyon game
preserve was established i'll 1908 by
the late President Roosevelt.
Extinction Threatened.
Upwards of 10000 of mule deer are
now on the Kaibab plateau. The COM
mittee says this is twice as many deer
as the vegetation can support and that
the entire herd is in imminent danger
of extinction through starvation un-
less reduced to a safety number. Fur
thermore, the condition of the forage
to be found there is far below normal.
The forest service some time ago
announced its policy of giving away
as many deer as possible to applicants
who are willing to pay the cost OF
Grating and getting the animals to the
nearest railway shipping point, esti-
mated at $35 per head, plus the eX-
press charge to destination.
Reduction Necessary.
Unless a sufficient number of deer
are taken off the reservation by this
method, the committee recommends
that hunting be permitted under prop
er regulation. As a last resort the
committee comedies it may be neces-
sary for the government to officially
kill enough of the herd to prevent its
possible extinction through starvation
Secretary Wallace has adopted the re-
port of the committee.
When the game preserve was estaD-
Iished the Kaibab deer was threaten
ed with extinction because OF the
Drowess of the hunter.

HighSchoolNeuOs

We were honored on Monday by
a visit from Rev. T. M. Christian
who conducted chapel exercises that
morning He made a very interesting
talk about the results from working
while attending school. The talk was
one which was appropriate to the oc-
cason, and the attention of every
one was held to the last sentence. This
was the first visit to the school by
Mr. Christian in some time and MS
presence was welcomed by all.
Friday afternoon the gridiron war
riors from Dawson high school will
meet the Blakely boys in Blakely. Let
everybody turn out and show the
school little support The Dawson
high school football team has very
enviable record and one that any high
school might be proud of, yet
they are not receiving any great
amount OF support. Unless little en-
thusiasm is manifested it is hard for
the Dawson boys to play to the best
of their ability, and surely the people
of Dawson are not DESTROYS OF allow
ing their team to lose their pep sim
ply because of non support.
Only two more football games will
be played-one on the home grid
then basketball will hold the seat OF
prominence among the athletic pro
gram of the school. In preparation OF
the basket ball season manager is
necessary. John Shields, who has and
still is so capably holding the position
of manager of the football team, was
unanimously elected for the same po-
sition with the basketeers. Prospects
are for a good year for the quintet.
The Glee Club.
At the regular meeting of the Glee
Club on Wednesday afternoon several
matters Of Importance were discussed
by the members of the organization.
The matter of selecting the proper
form of amusement for the annual ap-
pearance of the club was the most i'm
portant item By a unanimous vote 1t
was decided that Miss Cherry Bios
SON." musical comedy, would be
the proper thing for the occasion.
The members discussed the best
method of selecting the caste for the
show and it was decided that it be left
to the officers. The difficult task was
rejected by the officers, but by a
majority vote they lost and so it was
decided that the dirty work must be
done by them. Weary is the head
that wears the crown
Another committee was appointed to
confer with the superintendent as to
what channels to apply the money
where it will do the most good tor the
school. The money heretofore has
been used to pay for the handsome
scenery now in use in the auditorium
It is probable that all of the com
mittees will report at the next meeting
of the club, at which time definite
program will be carried out as regards
the producing of the show.

THERE MAY BE A CAUSE
FOR NON-SUPPORT OF TEAM
The Trouble May Not Lie in Lack of
Enthusiasm by Students.

Can it be that there is a reason for
the non-support of the school athletic
team by other members of the school?
The writer casually asked one of the
students of the school Friday after
noon why he was not among the all
too small crowd that attended the
football game with Sylvester, and his
reply was to the effect that had he
left in sufficient time to see all of the
game it would have been neces-
sary to have left school before the
regular time and that they were not
given permission to make up the les
sons thus lost in attending a game,
with a consequent result OF FIVE point
lower mark than he would otherwise
get.
This certainly sounds unusual, es-
pecially since it is hardly possible
that this student has made an average
below 90 per cent since being in high
school. Practically every school in the
state would allow the students the
privilege of leaving school an hour be-
fore 2 o'clock to attend an athletic
contest in which their home team par
ticipates, especially if the student de-
string to attend the contest was well
up in his or her studies Fully fifteen
cars were on hand for the Americas
game. and they were in Dawson be-
fore the school turned out for the
day. Colleges have turned out the
whole school for special games and
have not found it detrimental or de-
mora1izing to the students.
1t is not the policy Of the writer
to criticize nor do desire to Of
fend any of the persons concerned, but
let's allow every one who wishes
to attend the game to leave at l
o'clock, if necessary, and see just
once if not only a larger but a more
enthusiastic crowd OF rooters are pres
emf SPORT.
