The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-04-17
To Senator B. K. Wheeler,
Washington, d. c..

at is popular belief that Federal
indictments at Great Falls only indi-
cate official Washington is still in
control Of the big oil interests. Stew
enson and Campbell are two of the
largest Independent oil operators in
Montana and since their discovery of
oil in Kevin field have been embar-
rased and discredited by big oil inter-
ests. Kelvin is the largest undevel-
oped field in America, but has been
idle for six months because big inter-
ests refused to buy oil from indepen-
dents here but shipped crude for one
thousand miles to Standard refiner-
les in Canada transporting it directly
across the Kelvin field, where five
hundred thousand barrels lay in stor-
age and paying double the amount in
freight alone that oil would have
cost if brought here. Every effort
has been made to suppress this field
and scores of wells reported dry which
were not drilled deep enough to make
an adequate test. Consensus of opin-
ion is that Federal indictments are
only another move to kill off the
small oil operators and play politics.
Keep up the good work. The country
is with you"

Mayor.

VET Of FOREIGN
WAR HITS WEEKS
STATEMENT OF THE SECRETARY
ABOUT SOLDIER PRISONERS
ANSWERED.

Kansas City, Mo.-Declaring that
the chime for polite discussion OF
soldier prisoners has ended and the
time to fight arrived" Ruel Elton,
national adjutant of the Veterans OF
Foreign Wars, issued a statement
from headquarters here attacking
Secretary OF War Weeks, the army
and the treatment accorded war vet
Grams held in prisons while traitors
are released. The statement was IN
reply to one by Secretary Weeks, de-
claring there were only 10 strictly
military prisoners now confined
Elton challenged the war depart
ment to submit the cases to an i'm
partial reviewing board containing
civilians, saying that eX-service men
would stand by the decisions OF such
a body If Mr.. Weeks would. He at
tackled courtsmartial which sent the
men to prison. saying that the army
seemed to think the sentences were
the act Of a courtmartial, but the
voice OF Cod Some men, he said,
made no defense because promised
~retrials in this country while others
were defended by officers who were
not even lawyers.
His statement follows:
THE statement issued by Secre-
tary OF War Weeks that an erroneous
impression prevails relative to the
number Of men in confinement who
served in the world war and that
there are only 10 strictly military
prisoners is simply an attempt to
fog The real issue and to throw up
another smoke screen behind which
the army can hide.
1T should be understood that the
statement he issued actually is a
copy Of a letter he wrote to the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars on January
20. 1924, in response to a telegram
from that organization pleading for
a fair and impartial review Of the
cases Of men sent to prison during
the world war and kept there with
no thought Of their wal records,
while slackers, spies. traitors, |. w.
WIS, conscientious directors and the
general run OF men whose acting mil
itated against this country's armed
efforts were released. We replied to
this letter, which the secretary now
ISSUES as a statement, but, Since he
has not seen fit to make public our
side. | believe that the time for po-
lite discussion has ended, and that
the time TO demand justice and to
fight for il has come

TWO MURDERS IN WAKE
OF BEER RUNNERS WAR
Chicago Police Are Mystified BY The
Killing Of a Man and a
Woman.

misunderstanding into n north
side apartment which had been oc-
cupied by John Duffy, found murdered
on the prairies neal the southeastern
city limits, police were d~umbfounded
to discover the body OF a woman
lying on the floor.
The had been killed by a
bullet through the forehead.
Throughout the day-ever since
Duffy's body had been identified-po-
licemen watched the building. No one
was at home in the flat, and on the
back porch rested a grocery order
that had been delivered the day be
fore.
Beside the groceries was a box
containing several empty gin and
whisky bottles.
After several hours Of futile watch
ing and waiting, detectives decided to
force an entrance. Crashing down the
door. they came upon the woman's
body.
Because Of the circumstances under
which Duffy was murdered they be-
lieved both victims were the result or
the latest outbreak among the beer
runner Of Chicago.
Duffy's body lay half buried in the
snow beside the road at 100 West
Sixty-third street.-the same road by
which the beer me usually enter
Chicago with their Illicit truck loads
from Joliet and nearby towns. There
were three bullet wounds in his head,
Powder marks d~iscolored the skin
behind the slain mans left ear, indi
eating that he had been shot from a
distance of scarcely more than a foot
Evidently, detectives said, Duffy was
murdered in an automobile travelling
the Joliet-Chicago highway and was
then thrown from the machine by his
slayers.
That robbery did not cause the
crime was patent from the fact thai
Duffy's pockets contained $50, while
a diamond ring sparkled on n OF his
fingers.
