MORE DELAY IN
IMPEACHMENT
CASE HEARING
—
Statement By Cover- j
nor Adds Fuel to Po- j
iltical Flames in Ok
lahoma Controversy
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 16.—<*)—
Oklahoma is speculating, over the
week-end, on what the next chapter j
in the impeachment trial of Henry i
S. Johnston, suspended governor,
might reveal, after the senate im
peachment court had written “To be j
continued” in the midst of testimony j
involving a mysterious conference in |
Oklahoma City about two years ago. j
Johnston added fuel to the flamea I
of speculation by a statement pur-'
porting to represent the defense he )
intends to offer on 11 articles of
impeachment.
Johnston cited statutes he con
tended upheld his issuance of defi
ciency certificates, and the employ
ment of attorneys and investigators.
He declared no corruption was j
charged in the Crossthwaite pardon
case, and said he had acted in good
faith in granting it.
Defends Actiona
Johnston said the matter involv
ing the calling out of the national
guard to disperse an attempted im
peachment session of the legislature
in December, 1927, had been
“thrashed out last year.”
“They were called a little later
than 1 should have called them," he
added. “I allowed the Knight crowd
just a little too much of a start
before ordering them to go home.”
H. Tom Kight, Rogers county rep
resentative, was one of the leaders
in the attempted impeachment ses
sion move.
Johnston defended himself from
the charge of “general incompe
tency,” which forms the basis of one
of the articles of impeachment, by
citing what he said were adminis
tration accomplishments in various
at^te departments.
The mysterious conference, about
which much speculation has arisen,
dealt, the senate court was told,
with a meeting between Mrs. 0. O.
Hammonds, former confidential sec
retary to Johnston, George D. Key,
democratic state chairman, and Dr.
Ernest C. Mobley, pastor of an
Oklahoma City church. The two
men had been delegated to persuade
Mrs. Hammonds to resign her posi
tion, it was testified.
Key and Dr. Mobley were sched
uled to complete the story, before
the senate court Monday, which was
begun by Mose Anderson, of Guthrie,
secretary of the Oklahoma Masonic
and grand lodge, in his testimony.
Dismissal Asked
Anderson related that he and
eight other friends of Johnston had
held an all-night conference with
the governor, shortly after John
ston’s inauguration in 1927. in
which Mr*. Hammond*’ removal was
asked. Mrs. Hammonds already had
assumed an outstanding position in
the state's governmental affairs.
The governor’s friends told him,
Anderson testified, that Mrs. Ham
monds’ employment was losiny
friends for the administration, and
he was advised to dismiss her.
Johnston declined, asserting it
would be brutal to discharge her.
Anderson said.
“George Key suggested," Anderson
eontinued. “that if he were allowed
to do as he liked, he could get rid
of her."
Anderson then said the governor
agreed “if Key persuaded her to re
sign, ho would accept the resigna
tion. It was agreed that Key and
Dr. Mobley should see Mrs. Ham
monds at her home that morning.”

“I was in town one day, and
while talking to a friend I stooped
over to pick up something. When
I straightened up. I felt dizzy I
zpoke to him about this and bow
I had not felt like eating.
‘ My friend told me to take some
Black-Draught. 1 knew my mother
had used it, and so I bought a
package. When I got home. I took
a good, big dose, and the nest night,
another. In a few days I felt much
better. I was hungry and the dizzi
ness was gone.
“A good many times I have had
this dizziness and a bad taste in
my mouth, or headaches, and then
I tV:e Black-Draught and get bet

Prices of Grain
Generally Lower
in Chicago Mart
CHICAGO. Feb. 16.—<4»—Influ
tnced by weakness of the stock mar
ket. grain took an early swing down
ward today. Persistent reports of
adverse crop conditions in Europe,
however, acted as a check on sellers
both of wheat and corn.
Opening l-8c to l-2c lower, wheat
afterwards kept near to the initial
range. Corn started at l-8c to 3-4e
decline, and subsequently continued
to point downward. Oat» were easy.
Provisions likewise tended to sag.

Probe Death of
Wealthy Texan j
GREENVILLE. Texas, Feb. IB.— J
OPi—A special grand jury invest!-!
ration centering around the premise j
that Glenn A. Coulson, wealthy re-1
tired jeweler, was shot to death by
thugs seeking valuable diamonds he
nutedly kept in his hotei room, was
imminent today.
Though the 60-yrar-old man rasp
ed in death, a pistol from which,
three shots had been fired, his quar
ters. where the body was found yes
terday. was in disorder and police
arrested three men for questioning.
An empty money sack found be
neath the capitalist’s pillow was re
garded as additional evidence that
men coveting gems shot him to drath
and ransacked his apartment. In
this phase of the inquiry, Dallas
fingerprint men, called on for aid,
were expected to figure.
Pistol shots resounded throe turn j
in the hotel early yesterday. A
stool reo'e hurtling from the build- j
ing. falling on a eitlems'k near a
patrolman who, investigating, found
Coulson’s body and subsequently ar- ;
rested three men occupying a roo n j

rooms. Officers learned the sus-;
nccts were seen in Oklahoma three

PEOPLE ARE CRITICAL
OF A PIMPLY FACE!
No longer do people pity a person
with pimples or other displeasing skin
blemishes. In fact they arc apt to
criticize and avoid wth a perron, be
cause pimples are vsnally a rgn of
carelessness and neglect.
If you want to be admired for a
clear, healthy complexion ask for Black

CHICAGO^
(Continued from page one.)
raents were to blame for the gang
masacre. Those murders, he said,
and the many ones that preceded it,
were committed for the easy money
which enforcement agencies had per
mitted gangsters to collect.
Start Liquor Raids
It was the strongest declaration
from one enforcement agency to an
other that has been heard in Chicago
in a long time. It was followed by
swift action. The police set out to
make Chicago hone dry for the first
time since prohibition.
About midnight a sweeping order
went forth from Commissioner Rus
sell’s office. All police captais* were
instructed to “close and keep closed
all gambling houses, vice resorts, soft
drink parlors, speakeasies, beer flats
and anv place where alcohol is
handled.”
Frank J. Loesch, pre«ldent of the
Chicago crime commission, crusader
against politico-criminal# and first
assistant state's attorney, dropped
blame for the Moran mob massacre
on the city hall doorstep. The li
censing of 7.0C0 soft drink parlors In
Chicago, he said, has the approval of
city officials “who knew that the »F
nlicants were men who would sell
liquor."
Moran B!am«s Capone
George (Bugs) Moran, who left a
hospital only a few days ago after
an attack of influenza, blamed the
murder of his seven associates on the
A1 Capone gang. Capone himself is
in Florida.
“It there were any policemen in
the shooting,” Moran added, "they
were Cicero policemen.” Cicero is
Canone’s place of residence.
The theory of Frederick D. FM1
oway. assistant administrator of the
federal prohibition law in Chicago,
tha policemen took part in the crime,
had not been droped today, although
police said their investigation tended
more and more to disprove it.
Siluoway made it clear his theory
was without substantiation, but it
was being investigated. It was ba«ed
on the hypothesis that police of
ficers conspired with members of the
Moran gang in hi-lacking enterprises
and shot down the seven when in
danger of exposure.

Shortage of coal, gas. electricity and |

For England wanner weather was
predicted but present conditions
caused extreme discomfort and suf
fering. Freezing of water mains has
made it necessary for thousands of
Britons to obtain their drinking
water from temporary standpipes in
the streets.
Freezing of a gas main and the
v^nger of artificial thawing left
downtown Berlin without ras for
fuel and lighting yesterday. Ice
disabled the power station at Bres
lau, where it was 20 degrees below
zero Fahrenheit, and that city was
without electricity.
All schools at Berlin have been
closed, and water and food shortages
have developed. These have given
rise to considerable price-raising
and speculation which authorities
are combating.
Zagreb, Jugoslavia, reported SO
villages near there buried under an
enormous snowfall. Transportation
facilities were disrupted and au

There was danger of Antwerp

London reported cancellation of
sailings of passenger boats from
Grimsby to the continent because of
ice hazards at ports of destination.
SPINACH MARKETS
SHOWING STRENGTH
An increasing demand for spinach,
as a result of reduced shipments from
the Winter Garden, Laredo and
Corpus Christi-Robstown sections,
was reported from all central mar
kets. Eight cars of that commodity
moved out Thursday from the Mer
cedes tract.
In the Winter Garden section, the
heavy spinach producing area of
Texas, the shipments have been cut
ma*erially, acocrding to market re
ports.
