ard Dean, associate editor / am in
closing q copy of this letter.
sin connection with the articles
which appeared and Mrs. Deans letter
of May "a, 1922, attention is invited
to the intimate inside nature Of the
information they reveal, and their &c.
curacy or true ring of what might be
called army technical expression or
phraseolOgy, thus Enthusiastically indi-
eating on their very face that they
were written with the assistance of a
regular army officer of long expert
ence, thoroughly familiar with quar-
termaster corps matters"
After attacking General Hart for
what she described as his "reprehensi-
Bile, dishonorable and disloyal schem-
ing" Mrs. Pomroy continued her let
ter to Senator Overman as follows:
DOES DUTY.
Il have thought this matter over
time and again since General Harris
appointment as quartermaster general,
and l feel that. as the widow Of an
army officer, who holds dear the ira
ditiOns and ideals of the army. my con.
science would reproach me for neglect
of patriotic duty If | delayed any
longer in exposing this man to the
War Department, which, it goes with
out saying, never would have appoint
cd him to the important position of
quartermaster general, had they known
the facts Of the case as presented in
this letter.
Furthermore. had the facts been
known to the Senate when General
Harris nomination as quartermaster
general was presented for confirmation
it is equally certain that it never
would have been confirmed. However.
Just because, through ignorance Of the
facts of the case, n terrible mistake
was made at the time by those in au-
thority. this is no reason why the error
should be continued"

TELLS OF SCHEME.
On one of her first visits to Mrs.
Dean, according TO the letter, "The
Widow" said to Mrs. Pomroy: Il
an engaged on some very interesting
and important work for Billy Hart;
he's trying to get Rogers"
MRS. Dean also told me that Col
onel Hart had iRsratiatcd himself into
the good graces Of Mrs. Rogers, the
divorced wife of General Rogers, so
as to get from her as much inside in
formation as possible about General
Rogers, which information he passed
on to her for use In her articles at
lacking General Rogers.
Mrs. Dean showed me a table and
some electrical fixtures in her kitchen,
which she said Sweet William as she
sometimes called Colonel Hart. had
given her, adding that Colonel Hart,
who she said dined with her almost
every evening. had also supplied her
with a cOlored maid to do the cooking
so that they could always dine in her
apartment. as 1t would be unwise for
Colonel Hart to be seen with her in

AMERICAN FASCTSW

The police chief and city manager of Cleveland
got into difficulties with the federal government, and
with large number Of their feIowcitzens, when
they swooped down the local Chinese colony and ar
rested the whole caboode for the murder of one man
1t a peculiarly aTOclouS murder, PROBABLY
perpetrated by representatives OF one tong III their
long feud with another whicn has ragged recently
through several American c.-ies. 1t Is always hard
for the police to cope with Chinese crimes, because of
the secrecy maintained by the interested parties and
their friends. Ii is nt0eTaDe, too, mat American
laws should be fIouted by foreign groups-though
western nations do that in China
Nevertheless ii is generally agreed that It was an
outrage for the Cleveland authorities to throw more
than 600 men into Jail without evidence, for the crime
in question. The fundamental conflict with American
law and tradition is evidenced by the fact that soon
as the matter was brought to the attention of the
courts, there was a wholesale jail delivery by the
habeas corpus method
Good Cinnamon has been Jailed along with bad,
merchants and bankers and students along with labor
ers. And many Of them suffered great loss by the
smashing of their quarters by the police and their
forced absence from their places OF business. 1t was
proceeding suggesting Russian CosSacks or Italian
Fascist rather than American police.
1t another evidence of the disposition only too
observable in America lately, of laWlessness the.
part of those to uphold the law. This country
is not Russia under czarism nor Italy under Fascism.
The incident suggests that America may need new
birth of Americanism.

New York may be the wettest city in the coun-

can go into almost any big city and its leading citi
zens will confide that theirs is the wetest of all They
all like 10 think that"
And right here the commissioner puts his finger
on one Of the chief causes OF unlawful in this
country. Communities like to brag about how wet
they just small boys like to brag about how bad
they are And just as in the OF small boys, they
don't really consider themselves so dreadfuy wicked
they are Dragging about how wicked they are
cordng to other peoples standards. If they actually
felt wicked, they'd keep quiet about it.
There is saving grace il that fact. And there is
hope in another utterance Of the commissioners Can
we make prohibition popular? l don't know. But

A good deal OF the disrespect shown for prohibi-
tion has been not disrespect for morality or law
much as disrespect for the methods used in enforce
ment Dignity and energy combined in enforcement
should bring a large measure of success. And

the railroads to be compelled to pro
vide such facilities.
Cost of the terminal with grade

The railroads took their battle
against the order up to the United
States supreme court which ruled
the interstate commerce commission

the interstate commerce commission
held that the terminal was required
by the volume of passenger business
