BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Stage and screen have long portrayed
the representatives of journalism as the
brow beating, intrusive, unscrupulouS
and often debauched type Of reporter.
Yesterday saw another type honored Dy
the Nation through its Government.
For no, statesman, no President or
iurist or public official had deeper
tribute of affection and respect paid TO
his memory than was bestowed upon
Richard V. Oulahan, whose funeral was
attended by the President of the United
States, representatives Of ofticialdom
and the press from far and wide.
Nest Popular Reporter.
Dick Oulahan was the highest type
journalism has produced. He was wash
ingtons most capable reporter. He was
its most popular newspaper man. He
was regarded by officials, by Democrats
and Republicans as the essence OF falr-
ness and the best exponent OF journal
ism'S ethics that the National Capital
has had in generations.
AS the Washington correspondent of
the New York Times Mr.. Oulahan had
a powerful constituency. But he consid-
cred himself always reporter-neVer
a crusader for causes nor an advocate OF
reforms. He told the American Society
of Newspaper Editors at its last session
that he regarded the interpretive dis
patch which he wrote daily as not at
all the reflection of the correspondent
personal views, but as an honest eX-
planation of the news as he saw it. Dick
Oulahan never felt it was his duty TO
expose or mucKrake. He sought the
news and published it comprehensively,
whether it affected Republicans or
Democrats or any class or group. TO
the editorial writers he left the task of
weighing the merits of the activities OF
public men.
Dean Of Correspondents.
Every President of the United States
since Grover Cleveland knew, and liked
Dick Oulahan They all looked upon
him as the natural leader of his pro-
fession. For years he has been con-
sidered by his colleagues as dean OF the
corps. To win the respect and esteem
and affection of his colleagues was
Oulahan'S greatest achievement. Fol
they appreciated the sterling worth OF
his reporting, its impartiality and faith
full Interpretation of the facts, anc
they learned to know him privately as
gentleman of unfailing courtesy anc
consideration to others. Inere was NJ
petty jealousy in his makeup, no un'
fair methods of competition in the
perennial search for news.
Dick Oulahan was 64 years old, but
looked much younger. Many genera
tions Of newspaper men came and pass
ed under his benignant eye, for hi
always helped the cub and counselet
with the younger men as quickly al
with the veterans. His was a handsome
figure and his dignified bearing anc
| tactful spokesmanship in the always
difficult relations of the Government
and the press will long be remembered
as a distinct contribution to the ideals
and ethics of the fourth estate.
Submerged Self.
There was a modesty about Oulahar
which the dramatist might pass by
as too unspectacular. For he knew hov
to submerge himself. No matter how biz
the SCOOP" he never interjected him
self or his personal experiences in tell
ing the story.

SCRIBE IS BARRED
|NKENTUCKY COURT
Judge in HightoWer Trial
Gusts Moutoux and All
NeWs-SentineI Writers.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOUNT STERLING, KY, January 2.
Judge Henry r. Prewitt, 63-year-old
son of the blue grass, ruled today in a
vigorous dlenunciation of editorial at
tacks on courts that neither John T.
MoutouX nor any other reporter from
the Knoxville, Tenn, NeWs-Sentlnel
could ever sit in Montgomery Circuit
Court as long as he is judge.
The newspaper, commenting editori-
ally on the recent trial of w. B. Jones,
Harlan County mine union secretary,
said, in part:
so long as our courts permit them
selves to be the stage for TRADES OF
political and social prejudice they will
not obtain full confidence of those who
believe in even-handed justice"
Banned Reports to Paper.
When Moutoux arrived Thursday to
report the trial of william HightoWer,
president of the Evarts local union OF
which Jones was secretary, Judge Pre-
witt ruled he could sit in court as
representative of the United Press, but
could not send special dispatches to the
NeWS-Sentinel
Then Special Prosecutor j. B. Snyder
of Harlan said Moutoux's presence was
"odious' to the Commonwealth'S con-
duct of the HightoWer trial, and pre-
sented an affidavit that MoutouX had
made remarks derogatory to the court
and the Commemorative counsel In
conversations with him. Upon Snyder's
complaint, commemorative Attorney
w C. Hamilton asked the court for a
ruling barring Moutoux from court dur
ing the Hightower trial. Hearing or
this has been set for Monday night.
The MoutouX case came up again to-
day with presentation by attorneys for
the reporter and the N2ws Sentinel
of a motion demanding expansion Of
Snyder's complaint as to specific in
ctances of the conversations.
Hearing Monday Night.
This motion was overruled, but the
court said he would go on with the
hearing Monday night
II want to hear what Mr.. Snyder has
to say" Judge Prewitt said Then
may find Moutoux in contempt of thi;
court"
Judge Prewitt said it was evidence
enough for me to bar MoutouX from this
court that the News Sentinel claimed
him as their representative"
The court displayed Wednesdays issue
of the News Sentinel An editorial or
the front page said it had no apology
to make to Judge PreWitt and doe:
not intend to surrender its rights to re.
port and comment upon judicial pro-
cedure in Judge Prewitt's court or an!
| ether court"
The editorial said Moutoux repre-
sented that newspaper at the trial anc
raised the issue of freedom of the press
printing in full the first amendment K
The Constitution.
1--WE lived around here all my lifC
and am glad we won't have yellow jour
nalism in Kentucky" Judge Prewit
said, and in another comment declared
Il wish the editor of the News Serttne
lived in Kentucky. If he did, I'd hav'
him here on a contempt charge righ

journalism, but the newspaper is judg

Mr.. Dixon is collaboration with

"Nfr. Daugherty had them watched

tivities to Daugherty During the in

Wheeler made their great effort to get
the files Of the Department Of Justice
in order to get the specific secret

in Russia.
"The Attorney Generals refusal to
turn the files over was one Of the
grounds on which Coolidge asked for his
resignation.
Stone Also Refused.
But it is interesting to note that
Harlan r Stone. Daugherty's success

Giving what he said was the sub
stance Of Daugherty's book, Mr.. Dixon
continued.
I'm 1922 there was conspiracy to
destroy the United States Government.
The Soviet leaders, exaggerating their
power thought the time was ideal. The
American Federation of Labor at that
time was dominated by its radical wing.
The first step was the coal strike. The
Moscow sympathizers hoped to bring
about an actual clash Of arms and de-
stroy the Government"
Mr. Dixon said Daugherty, in ~
hook. charges that red hostility to him
dates from his breaking of the coal
and railroad shopmen's strikes by
threats of an injunction in 1922.
IF the strikes had succeeded, Mr..
Dixon said, reading from the books

would have been made in Moscow"

Any one cited for contempt in this

Have Reserve Witnesses
With two key witnesses In reserve
for testimony Monday, the Common
wealth produced evidence today to sup
port its charge that Hightower, presi-
dent of the miners union. aided in plot
| ting the deaths of Harlan County
deputy sheriffs and mine guards.
For the first time during the trial
here HightoWer was directly linked with
the whipping of union miner who
dug coal at the Black Mountain mine
after strike was called.
Fred Lester former postmaster and
storekeeper at Verda, near Evarts, and
member of the Evarts local, United
Mine Workers of America, said High
tower condoned the horsewhipping of
| Charles Carpenter, miner, and warned
! the others.

| Daniels, deputy and chief guard at
Black Mountain, was shot to death In
a roadside battle near EvartS last May

Says Deaths Plotted.
In these union meetings, the prose
cution charges, the deputies deaths
were plotted.
Defense Attorneys B. B. Golden and
former United States Senator J. M
Robson brought cut on cross-eXaml-
nation that Lester and his two brothers
John and Hugh, once were indicted In
a poison plot death.
John and Hugh were indicted on the
same conspiracy charges on which
Hightower is being tried. They were
rele2 2sed from Jail and testified for the
commonwealth in the Jones trial, but
were released as witnesses by the COM
monwealth today.
The prosecution said it would con-
clude its case by Monday night. De-
fense witnesses have been summoned
