SHORT SEASON FOR GROUSE

Hunters in Wyoming will be allowed to kill grouse legally be-
tween October IS and November IS, both dates inclusive. These
beautiful game birds have been protected for the past two yeare.
We believe it is a mistake to throw the season open again IS they
are just beginning to appear III numbers after having been almost
entirely eXterminated. If there should be a n open season, we be-
1ieve it should IL concurrently with the season for sage chicken.
If another season for game birds is thrown open, irresponsible
hunters will take advantage OF it to slaughter both sage chicken
and grouse. The legal limit for grouse is 4 birds per day for each

ONCE NOTORIOUS BANDIT SAYS
JAKE HAMoN BOUGHT NOM
NATION FOR HARDING
JENNINGS TESTIFIES
OIL MAoNATE WAS TO BE sEcRE-
TARY OF INTERIOR, DECLARES
WITNESS

Washngton.-Al Jennings, once
notorious train robber and now Cali
fornia real estate dealer related before
the oil committee one of the most un-
usual tales congressional Investigators
have ever heard
1t revolved around n S1,0O0,000 pay
ment which he said he had been told
figured in the Republican national con-
vention at Chicago in 1920. He said
his only information, however, had
come from the late Jake Hamon, who
at the time was the Republican ma
tiOnal committeeman from Oklahoma.
In a Chicago hotel room during the
convention, the witness said, Hamon
told him that the nomination of Hard
Ing would cost him S1,00O,00O; that he
(Hamon) had put up" $25O,00O of this
sum TO the late Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, $4,000 to Harry NJ.
Daugherty, $4,000 to VIII II. Hays,
the chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, and another S25,O0
to Il fourth man from Ohio named
Manning or something similar.
Besides, he quoted Hamon as saying
"Money was used indscriminately
with the Oklahoma delegation and it
cost him like hell to get the New York
delegation Jennings said he could
not recall that he had been told of any
other individual payments of money.
1t also was n part of the story that
Daugherty, Hays and others had
agreed to make Hamon secretary of
the interior; that Hamon was to take
over what the Democratic admins
tratiOn had left of the public lands;
and that HamOn expected to make a
great deal of money out of them and
then get himself elected as the next
President.
HamOn was quoted as saying that
Daugherty at first had wanted AL
bert Il. Fall as secretary of the in
terror, but that he had put it all
over him" on that proposition. Asked
as to the correctness of lannon's
expectations, Jennings replied that, of
course they were not fulfilled, as he
had not lived. Hamon was shot and
killed by Clara Smith Hnmon late in
1920
Jennings was on the stand less than
half an hour and was subjected to
only II brief cross-eNaminatlon. Sena-
tor Spencer Republican, Missouri,
brought out in each instance as their
names were mentioned that Harding,
Penrose and Hamon are dead.

he had been hired by Knoxson for $50

A man who owned pawnshop took

the building and its contents.
The insurance company tried in vain
to find sufficient grounds to refuse

itself with the following letter np
pended to the check:
Dear Sir: We note that your policy
was issued at ten o'clock on Thursday
morning and that the fire did not oc.
cur until three-thirty. Why this de
