BITTER TO SWALLOW
Famous Strathmann Booze Turns to
Vinegar. Says Sheriff.

The fierce legal battle as to
whether or not the iuor stored In
the cellar of Edward C. Strathmann,
contractor, 1920 Central Ave. shall
be confiscated and destroyed or
turned back to Strathmann, has be-
come largely an academic question,
according to Sheric George Snider.
While courts have pondered and
lawyers have ranted and ragged over
the matter, the 700 gallons of wine
found when the police raided Strath-
manns home, has taken advantage
of the delay to turn to vinegar, Sni-
der said today.

Kansas City Pastors
Battle Alleged Curb
On Speech by Courts

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. Is
Ministers of Kansas City united to-
day to battle against efforts of
courts to curb free speech in the
pulpits''
Practically every minister in the
city came to the support OF Rev.
Baxter Waters, pastor of the Budd
Park Christian church, who after
attacking delays and other loose
methods of courts in dealing with
criminals, was hailed before Thad
B. Landon, circuit judge, and severe
ly criticized.
Judge Landon demanded Rev.
Waters prove his statement that
"juries. are fixed" and then told the
minister that encouragement Of
criminal classes come not from lax
ness in court method, but from vio-
lation of laws by church members.
He charged that many o. Rev.
Waters congregation were a1 aaking
the prohibition law.
Rev. Waters characterized Judge
Landon's efforts to curb his speech
as a "reversion % the ancient days
of oppression when the prophets
were banished, tortured and impris.
oned because Of their criticism or
civic and political evils"
Rev. Waters told his congregation
that IF the tins ever comes when
any man is denied the right to dis
cuss the conduct of courts, then free
dom will have ceased"

OIL LEASE SCANDAL
DEATH To COO!. |DGE|:
JOHNSON AIDE SAYS

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.--"The Tea
pot Dome scandal has made Calvin
Coolidge an impossibility as Re.
publican candidate" declared George
Henry Payne, eastern campaign
manager for Senator Hiram W.
Johnson, in statement issued last
night after he returned from Wash.
ington where he had spent two days
in conference with Senator johnson
THE decent thing, the only thing,
for Mr.. Calvin Coolidge to do is TO
withdraw his name from .:onsidera.
ton as a candidate for the Repub.
lican nomination for PRESIDENT the
statement declares. He was a mem
Der Of the cabinet in which Mr..
Fall, Mr.. DENLY and Mr.. Daugherty
sat when the corrup5 oil leases were
put over on the American PEOPLE.
He had a double Responsibility in
that he presided over the senate
when, in April 1922, charges were
| made that these leases were sus.
picious and committee appointed to
investigate thin. He, more than any
other member Of President Harding's
cabinet expecting, of course. Fall
Denby and Daugherty, had called
to his attention the fact that some
thing was wrong. 1t was to him
| that Secretary Fall addressed his let.
ter in April, 1922, with all the spe.
ctous arguments that are now shown
| to be false.
For II months, from April, 1922
to August, 1923, the investigating
committee was trying to find evil
dence Of the crime, and Mr.. Coolidge,
who as chairman of the senate, had
heard the original charges and as a
member of the cabinet was aSsociat-
ed with those that were res 0OnSlble
| for it, made not a single move to
assist in uncovering what almost
! daily was referred to in the public
press as a great national scandal
"The particularly dastardIy part OF
this whole terrible affair is the at.
tempt Of the Coolidge managers to
charge it solely against President
Harding, a dead man. AS presiding
officer of the senate, where the first
charges were made, and as a mem
Der of the cabinet, without portfolio
Mr.. Coolidge had opportunities of
sensing this scandal that President
Harding never had. In honor,
decency, and gratitude to the Repu5-
lican party which for 20 years has
provided him with public office, Mr..
Coolidge should give up his endeavor
to force himself on suffering
