-t-tn National League, of Masonic
Cluba that ha would see the day when

round a conference table to adjust
their disputes.'
"If the peoples of the world can
only understand each other," he aald.
"and tf men in authority can only face
each other in speaking for the sev
eral peoples, there will never be an
other conflict to block the progress
f civilization. Rather than to, con
template a conflict or to enter into
one. I would rather sit at a table and
ettle It In advance."
In suggesting that the problems of
reconstruction were . more serious
than those of war, he admonished his
audience that "it's up to you to put
nr republic In the straightforward
track of peace and constructiveness
again..
"When he are right, we will he
helping the whole word to get on the
right track again,'' he said.

of the spirit of fraternity and good
fellowship In the republic during his
administration.
In a tribute to the principles for
which Free Masonry stands. Mr.
Harding declared that "all America
reepects the great Masonic order."
"I have yet to see or hear or know
anything In Masonry from first to
last. said the president, "that has not
anade me a better man."
General Pershing and Major Gen
eral Lejeune, commandant of the ma
rine corps, were among the guests.
Resolutions adopted pledged sup

Expect House Will
Vote Favorably on
Tincher Bill Today
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, May 12. A final
vote on the Tincher bill to regulate
dealings in grain futures was blocked
today by Representative Walsh, Re
publican of Massachusetts, who de
manded a reading of an engrossed
copy of the bill which waa not available.
Vote on passage, however, had been
ordered by the house and it will be
the first order of business tomorrow.
Representative Tincher, Republican,
of Kansas, author of the measure,
said he was confident it would be
passed despite evidence of opposition
which crept out during consideration
of the proposal today. Opponents
contended it would authorize un
warranted governmental interference
in business and declared many of the
provisions were too drastic. Propo
nents held that the measure would
check manipulation of - grain prices
and would prove beneficial to farm
ers. Amendments offered today were
either voted down or ruled out on
points of order. Several making
minor changes, however, were ap
proved.
Favorable action was advocated by
Representative Mondell, who declared
that it "meets the expectations of
those who desire td stop gambling in
the grain markets and does not un
duly curtail those operations which
are essential to the welfare of form
ers."
Representative Blanton, Democrat.
of Texas, declared that the bill would
license gambling in grain and Repre
sentative JefferiS, Republican, of Ne
braska, asserted the proposal was
camouflage that "won't help the
farmer."

Whiz Bang Was
The Exception;
He Paid No Fine
It has been the custom for sev
eral months among the prisoners
in the county jail to bring each
new prisoner before the kangaroo
court for trial on some freak
charge. The prisoner is always
found guilty by the court and as
sessed a fine. The fines are used
to buy eatables. No prisoner es
capes a trial in the kangaroo court
but yesterday afternoon a prison
er was placed in Jail who proved
an exception to the rule.
He was booked in the jailer's
office under the name of Whiz
Bang, and the kangaroo court, aft
er one look at him, adjourned the
court and dismissed the charge.
Whiz Bang spoke a language that
none of the other prisoners could
speak or understand, and they
were forced to let him into jail
without a trial.
Whiz Bang Was arrested and
placed in jail by Sterling Price on
a charge of fighting and disturb
ing the peace. The fighting
charge was not surprising, for
Whiz Bang was born to fight and
his method of disturbing the
peace was learned from four oth
er members of his race after he
came to Phoenix. He was charged
with disturbing the peace and
quiet of the citizens in the night
time and the early morning hours.
Last night Whiz Bang furnished
a bail of 125 and was removed
from the county Jail by Price and
later appeared in a six round bout
at the Elks lodge rooms with an
unknown fighter. Whiz Bang is a
pit game cock owned by Price,
who placed him in the outer cor
ridor of the jail for safekeeping
until he took him to the Elks'
rooms..

Diamond Theft Causes Arrest
-ct a v.-nTTT.l--s iiav 12, The ar
rest at Honolulu today 'of Mrs. Leyda
Myer Southard, who is charged with
murdering her fourth husbsnd, Ed
ward F. Meyer, at i win j aiis, loano,
waa the outgrowth of the theft of a
diamond, with suspicion pointing at
the woman, it was stated here today
by V. H. Ormsby, deputy sheriff of
Twin Falls.
Ormsby, who came here three
weeks ago searching for Mrs. South
ard, said details of the charges con
cerning the diamond were in the pos
session of Frank Stephen, prosecut
ing attorney at Twin Falls.
The deputy said that information
that Mrs. Southard had come to Los
Angeles from Twin Falls was sup
plied by Mrs. Mary Jamer of the
Idaho city, who was said to have ob
tained employment here for the sus
pected woman and to have lived with
her for a time in Los Angeles.
Shortly after ne arnvea nere,
Ormsby said, he learned that the
woman, then known as Mrs. Meyer,
had married Paul Vincent Southard,
chief petty officer of the U. S. S.
Monterey, now in Hawaiian waters,
and hsd gone to Honolulu with him.
Ormsby said he had cabled to
Southard asking if he "ever knew a
woman named Lyda Meyer," and had
received in answer a denial that
Southard had known a woman of
that name, but had known an "Ida
Meyer," a school teacher in the
east.
There is no charge against the
woman here. Ormsby, when he
cabled the Honolulu authorities, ask
ing that she be arrested, gave hia
BIRDMEN TO DEATH,
WITNESS TESTIFIES
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
CHICAGO, May 12. Charges of In
efficiency, negligence and drunken
ness were made today by a witness at
an investigation of recent deaths in
the air mail sen-ice being conducted
by Charles H. Clarahan, postal in
spector. The charges were made by C. C.
Eversole, former mail pilot, who was
discharged after he had made a para
chute leap from his plane near Min
neapolis last February in what he
said was an effort to escape a crash,
Eversole declared that the real rea
son for his discharge was that he had
told postal inspectors of the neglect
and inefficiency at various fields.
The eight German junker planes
that cost the government $235,000 also
cost the lives of seven pilots, Eversole
testified. Five were hopelessly
wrecked and the others withdrawn
because pilots refused to fly in them,
he said. Twenty-five De Haviland
planes, known to the public as ash
cans, were withdrawn for the same
reason.
According to the witness, attaches
of the flying field would lay odds of
four to one to ten to one that the
De Havilands would never reach their
destination. He also testified that
several of the officials of the local
field often appeared on the field while
intoxicated.
3 HELD BY POLICE
FOLLOWING DEATH
OF TULSA JURIST
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
TULSA, Okla., May 12 Details of
events leading up to the death last
night of Judge John Devereux, for
mer Oklahoma supreme court com
missioner, remained unknown tonight
after a day during which the most
sensational development was the ar
rest of A. P. Dixon, an oil man. and
the filing of murder charges against
Mrs. Jesse James, nurse of the dead
man, and Goldie Gordon, an artist's
model and companion.
Dixon, superintendent of a large
oil refinery, was arrested when it
was learned he occupied a room next
to Mrs. James and Miss Gordon. Po
lice declare further- investigation
proved Devereux was found wounded
and under the influence of poison
Monday in Dixon's room at the hotel,
and not in his own, with Mrs. James,
as they had first believed.
The two women pleaded "not
guilty" and were committed to jail
without bond, pending a hearing
Monday. The result of an autopsy
performed at the order of the county
attorney and made public today pre
cipitated the filing of charges against
the women. The autopsy found that
death was probably due to a blood
clot on the brain, caused by a heavy
blow, and to excessive use of drugs.
Holland Anxious
For U. S. Capital
to Exploit Fields
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON. May 12. Nether
lands legislation does not draw any
distinction between Dutch and for
eign capital in the exploitation of oil
fields, and that government desires
to see American capital take part in
such exploitation, says Holland's re
ply to the recent American note con
cerning concessions in the Djambi oil
fields in the Dutch East Indies.
A summary of the reply was made
public in a statement by the state
department tonight, which, in addi
tion to outlining the points made by
the Dutch foreign office, reviewed
negotiations which had led to the
formal exchange of notes. A further
communication is expected to be dis
patched soon by Secretary Hughes.
Concernlna- the nassage in the sec
ond chin3r of the Netherlands par
liament of an oil bill granting a con
cession to the Batavia company in
the Djambi fields to the exclusion
of Americans, the replv says that
when last January Mr. Phillips,
American minister at The Hague.
requested that American companies
be permitted to participate in the
Djambi concession, the law had been
drafted and the , question, pending
approval of parliament, had been set.
tied, as for American capital par
ticipating in the Batavia company, it
says such a question must be subject
to the approval of Holland.
The reply adds, however, that there
are rich oil fields in both Sumatra
and Borneo, and the minister of colo
nies would be glad to make contracts
witn other companies for their ex
ploltation. -

CITIZEN ARRESTS
ALLEGED BURGLARS
BISBEE, Ariz., May 12. Adolf Al-
dinger, a prospector,, revived old time
western metnoas tonight when.
mounted on a horse and armed with a
revolver, he marched two men and a
burro loaded with alleged loot through
the business diBtrict of this city to
the city jail. Aldinger told officers
that his. wife had watched the two
men remove an old mine pump from
an abondoned mine on a claim ad
joining his In Juniper flats, three
miles from here. Aldinger said he
trailed the two men, placed them un
der arrest on his own responsibility
as a citizen, and decided it would be
quicker to take them to Jail himself
than to telephone for. officers.

MEXICO RECOGNIZES
LITHUANIA
WASHINGTON. May 12. Mexico
has officially recognized the republic
of Lithuania, it was announced today
by the Lithuanian information bureau
here.
NEBRASKA POET-LAUREATE
The first official recognition of an
American poet by a law making body
came during the present session of
the legislature of Nebraska when the
senate and house of representatives
passed a joint and concurrent resolu
tion declaring John G. Nelhardt poet
laureate of Nebraska. Governor Mc
Kelvie's signature has Just been ap
pended.
This official action on the part of a
great western state was taken by way
of recognizing the significance of the
American epic cycle upon which Nei
hardt has been working steadily for
seven years, and which William Stan
ley Braithwaite has characterized as
"one of the profoundly notable and
one of the few original things in the
development of American poetry."

NEW YORK, May 12. Internation
al money markets, as represented by
foreign exchange, were further stim
ulated today by Germany's accept-,
ance of the allied reparations ultima
tum. Demand sterling, or bills or
London, rose to $4, the highest
reached by that remittance since
April, 1920, when they touched $4.07.
French and Belgian francs showed
an over-night gain of about SO points

period since the armistice. - "
The Italian lire rose IS points:
guilders, or Putch exchange, gained
8 points, and marks, or German bills,
sold at an over-night gain of one
tenth of a cent, rising to 1.70.
Exchange on the several Scandi
navian countries was higher by 5 to
20 points, but the greatest gain of any
minor country was made by Greece,
the drachma rising 75 points to 5.80.
Dealers reported the largest gen
eral operations of any day in sev
eral months.
Much of the buying represented
ccverlng by shorts who had depressed
the market recently on the theory
that Germany would fail to meet the
allied demands.
