veyor of the state highway commits
sion, in an ambulance just east CT

grade so feet to the river brink near
Derby.
Apparently suffering from nothing
worse than broken rib and bruises,
and entirely rational. Mr.. Coleman
was being brought here for further
treatment, when he told the driver OF
the ambulance he was somewhat tired
and asked him to stop moment.
On complying. the driver heard the
patient sigh. He then died.
The engineer was So years old and
a particularly sad feature of the case
is that he was the only son of the
octogenarian mother in Carson City
who survives him.
Mr.. Coleman had been in the em-
ploy of the highway department for
the last year and had been engaged in
investigating gravel deposits at Derby,
says the Journal.
The accident occurred half mile
east of Derby, when he attempted to
return for some equipment and some
how backed off the steep grade. The
truck turned over twice before it
stopped. just short of the Truckee
river
c. Thomas, helper, celared the car
and escaped with minor bruises. He
brought assistance which resulted in
first aid to the injured man at ho-
tel at Derby by Dr. S. l.. Joslin of
Fernley. E. T. Hinshaw, division en-
gineer with headquarters at Reno. was
notified by telephone and hastened to
Derby with DR.. ]. j. Sullivan. They
were followed by an ambulance. The
two vehicles left Derby for Reno at
2:30 p. m., when it was believed by the
physicians that Mr.. Coleman's condi-
tion was such as to warrant the trip.

CHAUTAUQUA, N. r., Aug. 21.- Warning of a German-RussianC Chinese Japanese combination was expressed to- day by Maj. Gen. J. G. Harbord, former deputy chief of staff of the army in an address before the institute on interna- tional relations from the Christian point of view. He urged adequate American armament and International cooperation for limitation of competi- tive arming.
 He declared that Russia and Ger many would not remain content to be excluded from the Far East, and that our unhappy manner of doing the thing we had right to do, may have lost US the warm friendship of. Japan" ..
 What would a German Russian Chinese-Japanese combinat ton do to the plans of the world?" he asked. What could withstand union of white, vel low and known gathered from the Rhine to China Sea, and what is there impossible, or even unlikely in such an alliance?'
 Refers To League
 With all the Latin American states in the League of Nations can we main tain the Monroe doctrine with these countries south of us carrying their dis putes before that political. organiza- tion for settlement?
 These are some of the things that should be considered by those who are moved by the plea for disarmament.
 American armaments have never been a real factor in either the causa- tion or prevention of war except when they have been inadequate, then they have encouraged stronger powers to presume upon our supposed weakness. 1t is for that reason that most men who have studied history, are of the opinion that far from being a cause of war adequate American armaments would tend to quiet any international situation.
 But when it comes to the world ex- elusive of the American continent it must be admitted that a competitive growth of armaments breeds a feeling of international security. In close con.

MRS. RICKNER MAKES CHARGE
 OF PERSECUTION
Claims Positions Denied Her When Identity
 Is Learned

Charging that statements published by H. Stanley Crofut were part of an extensive persecution which is being waged against her, Mrs. Evelyn Sue Rickner, Thursday night denied all charges set forth in Mir. Crofut's state. ment. ''I am under court orders and am not allowed to carry gun or have one in my possession," Mrs. Rickner stated, in denying the charge that she had threatened Crofut. .
 She charged that Crofut's statement is the making good of threat to give her trouble through the newspapers, if she prosecuted him for an alleged theft of $10 bill. "He is just trying to make things harder for me-" Mrs. Rick ner said," and God knows they are hard enough as it is.
 Since she was acquitted for the mur- der of Lieut.. James c. Rickner, she has been continually .persecuted, Mrs. Rickner stated. Several times under her maiden name she has secured posi- tions in Birmingham, to be discharged as soon as her true identity was found cut.
 First, she tried stenographic work, which is her regular line, and was dis charged at each place as soon as her connection with the famous murder trial was learned. Once she started training at one of the local hospitals, and was making good until her sto- y leaked ont .'sa
 Mrs. Rickner declares that she had never seen Crofut until he came to Bir- mingham a week ago to aid her in do- ing some work in clearing up her bus mess with the government. It was dur ing one of her trips to Crofut's room at the hotel that she missed the $10, she stated. She was in company with the woman with whom she is making her home at the time, she stated.
 Mrs. Rickner says that she does not believe Crofut ever knew Lieut.. Rick ner, as she claims to have trapped him several times in mistakes regarding Rickner's past life. ''Why, he never knew him in Louisiana" she said.
 Crofut Thursday night, in a written statement to the Age-Herald, reiterated his former statements made to the pa per. He said that Mrs. Rickner had a gun at the time and that. she said, ''1 will blow your brains out as I did Riclsner's," when she drew it on him at the curb.
 "I am not asking you to take my word for it," Crofut said. "I have let ters in my brief case which, if pub lished in detail, will prove everything that I have said," Corfut told an Age Herald representative.
