NAVAL BATTLE OF WOUNDED KNEE
 DESCRIBED BY ACTIVE PARTICIPANT

and go to town"
 1 then went on board the gas boat Lilly and noticed that Beilgard's knees were shaking and trembling. l asked him what he was shaking about and said, If anyone had any shaking to do it should be me-"
 When we reached the ocean dock we tied up the boat and were taken to Jail about five thirty p. m. Cunning nam asked CIoes if he would call up rom Donohoe and have him come to the jail. Cloes said, T have more inn portant business to attend to just now. I'll get him for you in an hour or two" About eleven o'clck they released Gun ningham and myself from jail. We inn mediately went to see Mir. Donohoe who advised us that we were both charged with transporting intoxicating liquor. This was about eleven p. m.. was put in jail about five-thirty F. M., and didn't know what 1 was under arrest for until about eleven F. M. While I was in jail asked Mir. Flanni- gan what 1 was under arrest for. He said, "you will find out later." In fact gave me practically the same answer as he did when he first boarded the Cameo. While in jail also asked MT. Cloes what Twas under arrest for and he said, "We haven't decided yet, you will find out soon enough"
 It is claimed by the officers that dur ing the shooting Cunningham threw overheard some sacks which looked to them like sacks of cased whiskey. How ever they admit that at the time they were two hundred yards away. This contention of the officers is absolutely untrue. There was no whisey aboard the Cameo to my knowledge while l was aboard her. When the officers came aboard the Cameo they searched the boat thoroughly but found absolute ly no trace whatsoever of whiskey or other intoxicating liquor aboard the boat.
 The evidence at the preliminary hearing showed that prohibition en- forcement officers Flannigan and Beil- gard believed that there were two lad ies and two travelling men in the cabin of this boat at the time the shooting took place, and that prohibition officer Beilgard deliberately fired three shots with high-power rifle through the cabin of the boat which was testified to be of the dimensions of about six feet square.
 When asked on cross examination these questions he answered as fol lows:
 Q. "You shot through the boat re gardless of who you might kill?"
 A. "Yes."
 Q. "And if you had killed anybody you would have thought it justifiable homicide"
 A. "Yes."
 He was then asked whether or not he was particular as to whether he hit anyone in the cabin of the boat or not, and he answered that he was not par ticular. Two civilians who were on board the Lilly at the time of the shooting are willing to sign afidavits that while Beilgard was shooting, Marshal Cloes said, "Shoot the S-. Kill them both." They also claim they saw nothing thrown overheard and that Cunningham was out on the deck for only few seconds.

tfonal committee left Washington
some time ago to take up his head
quarters in New York, he turned over
to Senator Pittman the various sug-
gestions which had come to him from
many sources with a request that
Senator Pittman and other Democratic
members of the Senate and House
give them consideration. At the con-
ferences in Washington eight sem
ators and eight representatives were
engaged most of the time going over
various planks. Several days ago
Senator Pittman came to New York
and the work on the platform was
continued. Senator Pittman hopes to
keep the platform brief and with a
lot OF punches to il.
Considerable stress is to be laid
on the agricultural plank. The Demo-
Gratis plan to offer the farmers of the
country more than was contained in
the Republican platform. Bernard
Baruch, active in Washington under
the Wilson administration and much
interested in the farmers problem,
will be among those who will appear
before the resolutions committee in
the interest of an adequate agricul-
turA plank.
The Democrats believe it necessary
that the parity between the farmers
dollar and that of the merchant and
proposals to aid in bringing about
this end will be advanced as follows:
First A. reduction in the tariff will
be proposed, to aid the farmer to buy
those things he requires more cheaply.
Second. Cooperation by this coun-
try in European affairs, and the re-
establishment Of European markets
for American farm products.
Third Reduction of freight rates
I'M the things the farmer must sell
and purchase.
And fourth. If these proposals are
not effective, direct government aid
to the farmers.
