of the statement, "is the dearest, noblest,
kpurest woman on earth —under the cir
rcumstances. could any red-blooded
American man do less than I did.”
It was generally accepted in official
circles that Day would not be tried for
the killing.
Army officers were open in their state
ment that they would not demand the
arrest and trial of Day under military
law.
They pointed out that while Beck was
of the Army, he was on civilian ground
when killed.
SLICED ORANGE
AND BREW FOUND.
Much depends on the findings of Pro
hibition Director Meadows. Meadows has
been informed by Coroner McWilliams
that when authorities reached the Day
home, in the heart of the fashionable dis
trict of the city, he found “sliced orange
and brew bottles’’ scattered about the
room whore Beck's body lay. Meadows
his ordered all witnesses other than
Day and his wife to his office today
to prr’oe this phase of the affair.
At the same time the coroner is ln
v stigattng a report that four automo
bile loads of people were in the Day
home just before the killing.
This Dr.y denies. li_ named two oil
men—L. H. Pritchard. P. H. Anderson,
their wives and Major R. B. Haddock of
Ft. Sill, a relative of General Pershing,
as being the only persons visiting his
home besides Beck.
"If four automobiles were in front of
the house while the party progressed into
the small hours of Tuesday morning,
somebody is being* shielded.’’ Coroner Mc-
Williams’ said. McWilliams Is being
aided by Prosecuting Attorney Hughes
in this phase of the investigation.
NOT TRYING TO
.SHIELD ANY' ONE.
J "I'm not trying to shield anybody,”
Day declared.
"I have told my whole story. # God
knows I did not intend to kill Beck—l
simply sought to drive him from my
home.
“The revolver exploded when I struck
him over the head with the weapon.’’
“There was nothing out of the ordinary
about the party which preceded this
tragedy,” Day said today.
“After the theater party, attended by
Beck and my wife, at my suggestion, we
picked up the other members of the ..arty
and motored tothe home of Mr. Pritch

for House Owners
A recommendation that standing speci

streets be changed so as to require ex

from the street main to the property line
instead of to the curb as at y resent was
made to the board of public works this
afternoon by City Civil Engineer John I*

The engineer said that this would elimi
nate the necessity of property owners
who wanted to connect with the water
pipes getting permits to cut sidewalks.

It would reduce the expense since it will
cost less for the property owner to pay
for the extra pipe from the curb to the

Son of Millionaire
Indicted for Bigamy
NEW YORK, April s.—lndictment of
Joseph Donald Grafton, son of a Tit a
burgh millionaire, on charge of bigamy,
will be asked of the grand jury it was
announced today at the office of District
Attorney Banon. R. C. Murphy, assistant
district attorney, will present the case to
the grand Jury this nftenoon.
IN directing the affairs of the Standard
Oil Company (Indiana) the 7 men
responsible for its management and
success keep constantly before them the
ideals of sendee, which have animated
the organization in its development.^
They are ever mindful of the fact that
the service rendered by this Company
bears a close and intimdte relation to
the progress, success and prosperity of
practically every other industry. And
that it has a major bearing on many
professional and highly specialized
branches of business.
They recognize the grave responsibility
of supplying petroleum products to
those who use the internal combustion
engine as a source of power, and to
those who depend upon this Company
to lubricate their equipment in such
manner as to conserve the power and
the machinery which it operates.
These are the major and more obvious
services rendered, but equal attention is
given to problems affecting an individ
ual or a small group. '
This service may take the form of ex
f)ert advice as to the best method of
übricating a single machine, it may be
something to reduce the labor of the
housewife, or to assist the medical pro
fession in serving humanity. It may be
anew kind of pavement or a method to
increase or conserve the food supply.
These are but a few of the hundreds of
ways in which Standard Oil service, pos
itive and clearly defined, is helping and
adding to the efficiency and economy of
business generally.
As an example of how far this service is
carried, we may mention the recently
developed burning oil, Neolite, which
supplies a growing demand for an oil used
primarily in incubators and brooders,
where a steady, unvarying heat must be
maintained over a considerable period of
time. To those who use incubators and
brooders, Neolite is of great value.
While it is probable that the sales of
this product will never attain a large
volume, the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) adds it to its long list of use
ful products that it may further discharge
its obligation in rendering a complete
cycle of service to 25 million people of
11 Middle Western States.

UNITED STATES
AND CANADA TO
MAINTAIN PEACE
No Matter What Wars May
Come in Future, Beveridge
Says.
“No matter what the future of war
may be, Canada and the United States
will remain always at peace,” declared
Albert J. Beveridge at a meeting of the
Kiwanls Club in its Canadian-American
meeting in the Riley room of the Clay
pool Hotel today.
The meeting was one celeb rat lng._t(M
years of amicable relations between the
United States and Canada and Is slmiliar
to one of international scope to be_ held
June 20 at Toronto and for which Mr.
Beveridge has been chosen to speak,
represeting the United States.
The long, peaceful relations between the
countries was declared by Mr. Beveridge
to be one of the really great occurence
of history.
“To us In America," Mr. Beveridge
said, “Canada is not a foreign country
and it is the only natiot with which the
United States can have political relations.
Such relations afo not possible with other
countries.”
“Unprecedented and unparalleled unity,
geographically one land,” was the char
acterization of the nations by the speaker.
“An economic unity has been obtained
with Canada which is not possible with
any other nation,” he said.
Canada is the greatest purchaser of
American products, it was pointed out,
and “with Canada alone,” Mr. Beveridge
declared, “there is no possibility of fric
tion.”
Geographically, no separation, only an
imaginary line between the two nations,
one language in common, the •ontlnuous
weave and play of social and business In
tercourse have forestalled the possibility
of trouble, he said.
“The time is not far distant,” Mr.
Beveridge added, “when Canada will have
a i in Washington.”
Mr. Beveridge said: “Asa member
of the United States Senate he stood
for Canadian reciprocity and that he
believed that at no far distant date com
plete reciprocity with exceptions of ag
ricultural products which would mean
ruination for border State farmers, would
be brought about.
Mr. Beveridge was introduced by John
N. Bromert, district governor of the
Klwanis International.
