PARDON SCANDAL
THREATENS DAVIS
Whole Record of Governors
Regime May Be Probed.
Son Defends Father.
BY the Associated Press.


TOPEKA, Kansas, January 10
Talk of a legislative canvass of the
State pardon and parole records was
crystallizing among Kansas legisla-
tors tonight as they gathered here for
the opening of the 1924 legislature
next Tuesday and following the dis
closure of an alleged payment of
money to Russell Davis. son of Cover
nor Jonothan NJ. Davis, for the delivery
of a pardon. There came also in
creasing reports today of other al
legged Irregularities.
At least half dozen accusations
have come to the attorney generals
office within the last two weeks, At
torney General c. B. Griffith declared
today. None has been thoroughly In
vestigated and nothing to warrant
charges has been revealed, but in
vestigation has been quietly under
way by his department, Mr.. Griffith
said.
Through a day of charges and de-
malls, Gov. Davis issued statement
to the people of Kansas, reiterating
his avowal of his own innocence in
the matter and attributed to his sons
"unsophisticated nature" his falling
into "indiscreet acts" Russell Davis
entrapment in a Topeka hotel yester-
day led to the exposure.
Admits Money Taken.
The governor has never denied that
his son accepted money for delivering
his executive pardon yesterday to
Fred w. Pollman, paroled forger and
former president of the Linn County
Bank at Lacygne. But Gov. Davis
has professed innocence of any
knowledge of the proceedings. He
had issued the pardon in good faith,
he asserted, having always been fa-
vorable to Pollman, whom he now
charges with "inveigling" his son into
the indiscretion through friendship.
Interest centered tonight in the
expected arrival of State Senator
James w. Finley of Chanute, chair
man of the investigating committee
in which the 1923 session vested au-
thority to look into any and all
State departments and to report it's
findings to the 1925 session. Wheth-
er the committee will undertake an
investigation on short notice, 1t was
believed, rested with Senator Finley.

Fire Rases Two Hours.
For more than two hours from the
time that the first nearby engine
swung into action, which was about
1920 o'clock, the brick-and- wooden
building with its mass of tinder-Iike
stock was virtual inferno, belching
forth gigantic tongues of fire that
licked threateningly at the roof of the
main department store building di-
rectly across the street.
The sheets of flame shot in various
directions at times with such terrific
force that the grim but hopeless fire
men below were in imminent danger
of being scared in their tracks.
Although there were many such
narrow escapes to hold breathless

Writer Is Surprised.

MENTONE, France, January TO-
Vicente Blasco IbaneZ, the Spanish
author, was greatly surprised today
when he learned that proceedings had
been started against him in the
French courts for alleged defamation
of foreign sovereign. The proceed
ings, it was understood, are based on
Ibanez's recent pamphlet attacking
King Alfonso of Spain.
The law under which the present
prosecution was commenced, the au-
thor's lawyers said, has been applied
only once previously, and that was
when the late poet, Laurent Tailhade,
wrote an article at the time Car
Nicholas came to France, urging the
railroad men to wreck the Russian
months in Jail.

OIL COMPANIES need BRIDGE ACROSS COTTON
WOOD CREEK ROADS RETARD Development
Poor Transportation Facilities Found Great anhcap-ImpossibIe
To Move Heavy Machinery Up Steep Grade

The many large operating com
panies holding acreage on the Sho-
shone structure north of Cody state
that they are greatly handicapped
from an operating standpoint, on &C
count of the poor condition of the
roads and the lack of a bridge across
Cottonwood Creek. The present road
to the field necessitates the fording
of this creek and a steep pull up the
long and narrow grade just to the
north of the ford. 1t has been proven
impossible to move heavy rig timbers,
boilers and other oil well machinery,
or casing over this ford and up the
steep grade to the top of the bench.
Geographically speaking, the best
location for drilling sites on the struc-
ture are located on top of the bench.
The land owned by the Union Oil OF
California and the Mutual Continent
al Oil Companies is located on top of
the bench.
There is a solution for this situation
and it lies in the replacement of the
old wagon bridge just east of the
ford. The piling is intact; a floor
and rail could be placed over this pill

ing for a comparatively small amount.
Some of the enterprising business
men of Cody are in favor of bring
ing the matter to the attention of the
Cody Club, the mayor and council,
with the suggestion that all cooperate
and lend some financial help towards
the replacement of the old wagon
bridge.
Every public spirited citizen in the
community should get behind this
movement to a man. What is needed
most in this community is a staple
industry and a pay roll. Both may be
obtained by cooperating with the oil
operators of this state. The oil in
dustry is a year round business.
The Union Oil Company of Cali
fornia and the Mutual Continental
Oil Companies are not obligated to
develop these leases as to time. There
fore it is logical to presume that their
companies will develop their holdings
if the people of this community will
erect a substantial bridge that will af-
ford an easier access to this
field. This is an opportunity to show
the oil industry that Cody welcomes
development.

COPPERT-LOCkHART
CASE IS POSTPONED
Probably Heard in Basin Next
Fall-"Can't Get to Law" Says
Cop.

The celebrated ease of Goppert a.
gainst Lockhart has again been post
poned owing to the difficulty of get.
ting a judge.
The cas- which was set for April
18th, at Worland, had to be continued
owing to the illness of Judge Metz
who has been holding court there
Whether the Judges relapse was due
to the prospect of listening to the
evidence in this cause for several days
is a matter of conjecture.
After the refusal of the defendant
to have the case tried before Judge
Brown, who was the only judge a
valuable, the attorneys for the plain
tiff and defendant agreed to an in
definite postponement, the date and
place to be set later.
1t will probably be tried at Basin
next fall, or possibly not until next
March or April.
Mr.. Goppert, who has declared that
he does not know why he cannot "get
to the law"-whatever that may be
has stated that, he made four prop
ositions through his attorneys, Messrs,
C. H. Harkins, of Worland, and Pau
r. Greever; namely, that the case
be tried before Judge Brown at Wor-
land; that the jury be dismissed and
called again in two weeks at Worland
that it be tried at the first term
of court held in the Big Horn Basin
that the defendant make a complete
retraction of her alleged libelou;
statements and pay the costs, in which
event the case would be dropped.
The defendant through her attorney
E. f. Enterline, of Casper, refusing
either to retract or pay any costs, the
case was temporarily disposed of as
above stated.
