did net contract the smallpox until
about six weeks after Letha came
home from Plentywood and they also
had the Scarlet Fever. The epidemic
was general all over and many fami-
lies had the small pox and scarlet
fever. How does this lady expect a
semblance of truth to be placed upon
her Wobbly story in view of these
facts?
The Kings had the smallpox about
the same time as the Tripletts and
1t would be as reasonable to claim
that they contracted it from the
Kings as to claim that they contract
ed 1t from the Reddon's. The Trip
plett case was not called to the at
tention of the Producers News bv US
and we had nothing to dc with it. We
read the story which appeared in the
Producers News regarding the Trip
pletts and to our knowledge and the
knowledge of our family, it was cor
rect.
We need not beat around the bush
about anything and we dislike any
dliHculty with our neighbors. We dc.
cur business in the open and attend
to our own affairs. We are not seek
ing publicity but we are not afraid
to tell the truth. The article in the
Sheridan County Farmer, signed by
Marie King, is in our opinion, much
along the same lines as the other
stories which appear in that paper
mostly unsupported allegations with
out a semblance Of truth.
Yours truly,
Mr.. AND MRS. S. J. REDEEM.

ROxie Says That ) Men Made
S33,OOO.OOO On Oil Stocks

WASHINGTON, Saturday, March
29.-ROXie StinsOn. former wife of
Jess Smith, Harry Daugherty's most
intimate friend, told the Daugherty
investigation committee of the SEN
ate March &c that Smith gossiped to
her about a stock market operation
in which, he said, five men in Wash
ington made $33,O00,0OO in profits in
few days. When asked to name
the five men she hesitated and then
appealed for permission to give the
names to the committee in confidence.
She said that when Smith told her
of this gigantic cleanup in the stock
market She asked him immediately as
to- whether he and Daugherty were
parties to it. He replied that they
were not and that "that's what
makes us sore"
GIVES NAMES
PRIVATELY
She gave two names to the COM
mittee privately, and Chairman
BroOkhart intimated that they would
later be made public. 1t is under
stood that she named former Presi-
dent Harding and E. B. Mclean.
MCLEAN CLOSE
To SMITH
McLean's close connection with
Jess Smith and Daugherty was prov
ed in a series OF. kilograms from Nc
Lean to Smith. The persistency with
which Mclean attached himself to
Jess Smith and Daugherty was equal
led only by his activity in directing
the affairs of Harding in the social
world.
DAUGHERTY
MORALLY" RESPONSIBLE
Miss StinsOn disposed of the as
sumption created by her earlier tes-
timOny that Smith may have been
murdered. She said, tearfully, that
the attorney general was morally
responsible for Jess suicide" and
she added that he was driven to sui
eide by Daugherty.
JENNINGS TELLS
ON HAMMOND
Al Jennings, before the senate pub
lie lands committee, made good mis-
promise of disclosure of a S1,000,000
fund used to secure the nomination
of President Harding. Jennings nam
ed Jake Hamon as paymaster of
Penrose, VIII Hays and Daugherty.
LAMAR WANTS
TO TELL
Lamar, "the Wolf of Wall Street"
is the latest of the stock operators
to offer to- testify on the oil scandal.
Lamar is now in Atlanta penitentiary
whence he sent a letter asserting he
has evidence of the corruption in the
Teapot Dome oil lease. The commit
tee has given no consideration to his
offer.
PEOPLE RESENT SLURS
ON INVESTIGATION.
Political consequences of the oil
and Daugheity scandals continue to
reflect themselves in the capital
Regular Republican newspapers that
have been for months publishing the
evidence of rottenness in the Repub-
lican national administration discov-
er that their readers resent editorial
comment which seeks to discredit
these disclosures.
PEOPLE ON COIL TRAIL"
Influential leaders in many of the
western states have sent in reports
showing that the Republican voters
have lost interest in almost all ether
public questions and are following
eagerly the coil trail" through the
present administration and back into
the Wilson administration. They
have begun to assume, out in the

CATION STOPPED


1t was on the morning of Daugh-
erty's dismissal that Senator Wheel
er's committee investigating crooked
ness IN the department of justice
heard the testimony of Allen j. Pick
ering, former auditor in the aircraft
war fraud cases, that all attempts to
prosecute Mitsui & Co. in the Stand
ard Aircraft case, and other grafters
were stopped by the department it
self. The Wright Martin case, the
Lincoln Motors case and other big
cases involving almost S20,000,000
which should have been recovered by
Daugherty for the government, were
covered in his testimony.

The old guard looked upon Coolidge's
surrender to public mitigation against
DENLY and DaUgherty as showing
that he will continue to use them in
fair weather and let them shift for
themselves when the winds begin to
blow. Some Of them may decide to
turn states evdience-unless Coolidge

Construction of standard main
line railroad through Phoenix, Ari-
20na, is to he started as soon as
final steps in associating the prop
critics of The Southern Pacific and
the El Paso and Southwestern spss
| fem have been taken. according to
am announcement made public this
morning by PreSidet William Sproule
of the Southern Pacific.
President Sproule, who reached
San Francisco today from New
York, said that application is to be
made to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for permission to build
the main line track through Phoenix.
8 1t may be recalled that the trans
portation act of 1920 provided for
the eventual amalgamation of the
railroads of the United States into a
limited number oil systems under Il
plan to be formulated by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, Mr..
Sproule said. In compliance with
that act 4 tentative plan was pro-
nnlgated, and that plan includes the
FL Paso and Southwestern in the
Southern Pacific system. -
The Ell Paso and Southwestern OPP
crates 33l miles of railroad. east of
FL Paso, that is, between FL Paso
and Tucumcari, New Mexico, which
provides the only connecting link
between the Southern Pacific and
Rock Island lines.
1t will be seen that it is an in
dispensable part of the existing
through route and channel of trade
between Southern California, Ar
zona and Chicago, such as the law
has commanded to be preserved,
and thus the steps that are>being tax
en- are in harmony with and in furth
erance of the tentative plans of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Open Up Rich Section
The agreement contenplates an
application to the Interstate Com |
merce Commission to give permis-
sion for the Southern Pacific com
pany and the FL Paso and Western |
system to exchange their securities, |
pursuant to a plan under which |
there is to be an extension and de- !
yelopment of railroad facilities, in
the state of Arizona, that will put !
Phoenix on the main line. This will |
automatically open up large area
of highly cultivated territory known
as the Salt River Valley, lying at
the westerly end of the famous
Apache Trail.
The memorandum of agreement be
tween the two railroad companies
calls for the construction of the |
new line within a period of two
years. running from Il point at or
near Red Rock or Picacho, northerlv
the Casa Grande Valley Ir-
rigatisn project, connecting with the
Phoenix and Eeastern at or near
Magma Junction or Florence, whose
hampa will be brought up to main
line standards and will be connect
ed by new construction with the
main line of te Southern Pacific
at some point between Colfred, Ar
zona, and Indio, California.

CUNN ING HAM IN
VALLEY, BLAMES
PARTNER INL. A.

.Iacl; Cunningham, well known
cantalonpe shipper, who was arrest
cd in the valley recently on II bad
check charge, filed in Los Angeles,
was in the valley yesterday. He was
accompanied by w. II. Luckenbach,
who represented Marion Wright, Los
Angeles attorney, who is handling
the complaint of one Of the plain
tiffs against Cunningham and his
partner, Il. w. Young.
Cunningham, whose original bail
of $4,000 has been eat to $1,000, de
clared that his partner, Young is in
Los Angeles county jail now on II
grand larceny charge in connection
with the case, in lieu of not being
able to raise. the $1,000 bonds re-
quired.
Cunningham declares that the
charges against him grew out of al
legged neglect on the part of Young
to turn over drafts he declared
were due some of the FIRMS clients.
He asserted that most of the deals
were negotiated in Los Angeles by
Young while he was in the valley
and that he was ignorant of what
was going on at that end of the
line.
He declared that he assumed
Young had deposited certain moneys
10 the firm IS credit in Los Angeles
and that he issued several checks
against the account, finding later
that tbprn worp not sniff cjnpt funds
to cover same. He also declared
that a valley firm stopping payment
on a check to him here had added
difficulty to his financial affairs.
The case against the two men
will come up for trial in Los An
geles on June %. The two men
had been partners only four months.
