LANNON'S WIDOW

Declares She will Not Go to Washing

Dome PrObers.

Chicago - Mrs. Georgia Hamon Ro-
hrer. widow of the late Jake Hamon,
slain Oklahoma politician and oil mill
ionaire, today defied the senate oil
investigating committee to force her to
testify.
a When John L. eros, deputy United
States marshal located Mrs. Hohrer at
ter 10 days search, and by ruse serv-
ed forthwith subpoena, Mrs. Rohrer
indignantly declared:
"The former attorney general didn't
pay any attention to their old forth

pendent as he ever was. The sena-
tors down there are acting like a lot
of school boys"
Mrs Rohrer was found at the Allied
Arts Club, and Oros gained entrance
by posing as a lover of arts.
"What nerve", exclaimed Mrs. Rob
rer.
"Well, I'm. not going, she declared
eve always been a good democrat
and Jake never told me any of his re-
publican secrets. And as for the pa
pers the committee wants, we'll, they
were burned up months and months

Chignik. Alaska Three of four
army fliers who set out March II in
California to go around the world, and
who arrived here late yesterday, were
preparing in the night to back-track
100 miles today in search for their
commander.
The three aviators who arrived had
fought their way through snow squalls
and high winds from Seward, $50 miles
to the east. The men showed every
sign of fatigue, but when no report
had been received by 8 o'clock from
the commander of the expedition, Ma
jor Frederick L. Martin of whom they
lost sight near Kialagvik Bay, indent-
ing the Alaska peninsula, 100 miles
east of here, they set to work on
their machines.
The aviators said they saw Major
Martin descend at Cape Igvak, which is
lat the eastern entrance to Rialagvik
Bay.
The three machines were anchored to
buoys in Chignik Bay, while the fliers
sought some rest in the buildings of
a salmon cannery here.

DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT

soldier bonus bill was certain today
with hostilities scheduled to open be-
fore the end of the week when con-
sideration of the measure is begun on
the floor.
Most of the Democrats are expected
to support the minority report pre-
pared by the Democratic members of
the finance committee, seeking incor-
poration in the bill of an option for
full cash payments.
Republican advocates of a soldier
bonus bill generally are prepared to
support the measure reported to the
Senate yesterday by Senator Curtis of
Kansas, Republican member of the
committee.
1t provides for cash payments to
veterans not entitled to more than $50

may study it. He will present the
facts to Judge E. B. Belden, who as
circuit court judge, has power o
fix bail when prisoner is held for
first degree murder.
The probability of Eichelman taking
the stand again at the preliminary
hearing which is scheduled for Satur
day morning, was being generally dis
cussed today, but the consensus of
opinion seemed to be that he would
be advised against this course of ac-
ton by his counsel.
Meanwhile the police are combing the,
neighborhood where the killing took
place, and are questioning every one
who might know anything regarding
the time the accused husband left the
home on Friday. Detective Frank
McCluskey and Officer Walter Chase
are working under the direction of

Chief of Police Today Be
gins Personal Investiga-
ton of Case.
EICHELMAN BRACES UP
Accused Husband in County
Jail Takes a More Opt
mistic Attitude.

Thad Logan, chief of police, today
took personal charge of the investlga-
ton into the mysterious circumstances
surrounding the death of Mrs. H. Ben
jamin Eichelman, whose body was
found in the Symmonds street home
last Friday and for whose death the
husband is being held.
A number of additional witnesses
have been located and questioned, but
up to shortly after noon today no sem
sational developments had been re-
vealed. The case against Eichelman
stands practically where it was at the
close of the inquest on Saturday, fol-
lowing which he was arrested on rec
ommendation of the coroner's jury.
The accused husband, who stoutly
asserts his innocence, spent his fourth
night in the county Jail and this morn
ing seemed considerably braced up.
He took a more cheerful view of his
coming fight for liberty, when his
father, Henry Eichellnan called at the
Jail this morning to see his son.
Eichelman had number of other
visitors yesterday afternoon, including
his sister, Mrs. Edward Peterson.
Several of the others were his CO.
workers at The American Brass found
nv, where he is superintendent of the
tool and die room.
Although it is permissible for a
prisoner to have his meals brought tc
him, Eichelman declared that this pro-
ceedure would be too much trouble for
his family and stated that he pre-
ferred the plain but wholesome fare
furnished to the other prisoners at
the county Jail.
The police are continuing to inves-
tigate the mystery surrounding the
burglary of the Symmonds street
home. They are still convinced chat
it was the work of out of town news
paper men who ransacked the house
in search of photographs of the dead
woman and the accused husband. This
theory was strengthened when it was
found that nothing Of value had been
taken from the home, and with the
return of a large bundle of pictures
to the fathers home. The pictures
were wrapped in an out of town
newspaper.
Alfred L. Drury, attorney for
! Eichelman, stated today that he will
make an attempt to arrange bail for
his client as soon as the transcript
of the testimony taken at Saturday
