JOHNSTON WILL
| OUST OFFICIALS
I Defense Declares Governor
f Will Accept Gillam
| Resignation
’ OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., March
j —(A*)—If Henry B. Johnston is
returned to the governor's chair,
his administration will no include
the services of several persons
whose names have become involved
in his trial on Impeachment
charges.
Johnston, who completed the
third day of his testimony in de
fense of his administration before
the court of impeachment today,
related that if resored to office, he
would accept the resignation of
Robert Gillam, secretary of the
board of affairs.
Gillam’s resignation, directed to
the suspended governor, was in
troduced as a defense exhibit.
Gillam’s purchase of cattle for
several state institutions had
drawn fire from the prosecution,
which alleged that the cattle cost
the state a good deal more han
1 they were worth.
Besides Gillam, Johnston had
told the court of impeachment that J
he v^ould not reain the services of j
H. E. Sullivan, his private secre
tary; Mrs. O. O. Hammonds, who
resigned as his confidential secre
tary after the governor was sus
pended, and Mrs. George W.
Wray, chief clerk in the gover
nor’s office.
Sullivan has testified for the
prosecution, denying blame for the
issuance of a pardon to Dewey
Croethwaite. while Crosthwaite
was a fugitive from the state pri
son. Crosthwaite’s pardon is the
basis of one of the 10 impeach
ment charges.
Johnston testified yesterday that
the pardon was granted solely on
Sullivan’s representations.
Mrs. Hammonds, the target of
concentrated fire from the prose
cution, has claimed only a slight
share on the suspended governor’s
testimony.
She was Introduced today, how
ever. as an opponent of Sam H.
Harris, fish and game commission
er. When Harris would come to
his office, Johnston said, he was
sure that a quarrel was in store
and entertained himself by listen
ing In the door, while Mrs. Ham
monds and the fish and game
commissioner exchanged unpleas
antries. He was not aware. John
ston said, that Harris would take
the matter so seriously as his tes
timony for the prosecution had in
dicated.
Harris had testified that his de
partment suffered from Mrs. Ham
monds’ domination.
DAVIDSON PROTESTS
ANTI-EOLTER BILL
I DALLAS, March 9.—(JP)—A tele
U gram of protest was sent to Gover
f nor Moody today by Lynch David
I son, Texas capitalist, saying that
I the proposed bolters’ bill would read
P 250,000 people out of the democratic
party and would crystallize the Hoo
ver democrats into a powerful re
publican machine.
Davidson, in the telegram, urged
the governor to veto the measure.
“It might destroy our party in Tex
as and only serve to gratify ven
geance on supposed bolter leaders
who were in truth not leaders at
all but crafty enough to get out In
front of the parade,” he declared.

Scramble For Invitations
To Spring Court Keen Now
That Wales May Preside
Now that the Prince of Wales may act for his father at the spring
court in Buckingham Palace, the sparring for invitations, always
keen, is more brisk than ever.
LONDON, March Z—(IP)—The an
xious maneuvering lor invitations to
the spring court at Buckingham
palace is expected to become a
frantic stampede now that there is
a serious posibility the Prince of
Wales will act for the king.
The large gilt cards bearing the
engraved message, “The lord cham
berlain is commanded to invite ycu
to Buckingham palace,” always
have exercised a mesmeric power
over the debutantes of the world,
but this will be the first time that
his royal highness has been cast in
so important a role.
Queen Mary’s announcement that
the courts would be held caused
general rejoicing among the debu
tantes expecting presentation by
their ambasadors. It was thought
for a time ‘that King George's ill
ness end his possible absence from
London would cause a postpone
ment. Now the queen has declared
the prince will assist her if the king
is unable to be present.
The royal courts, which are held
in Buckingham palace each year,
are considered the most formal af
fairs cf the British social world.
Young women are presented by
sponsors from the ranks of older
women whe have been presented
in the past. Those from other coun
tries are escorted by their ambas
sadors. Many more aplicaticns al
ways are filed with the embassies
than can b^> accomptodafed. but an
even larger number is expected this
year.
The ceremony Itself Is brief. The
king and queen enter the threne
room after their approach is her
alded by a blast of trumpets. Near
the throne chairs stand the officers
of the household and members of
the royal tamily. The debutante
is announced at the door. She
crosses the floor, makes a deep
curtsey before the kmg and queen
and retires to a smaller room. Her
costume complies with court rules,
embodying a train, long gloves,
feather fan and head dress.
The principal significance of a
presentation is that the debutante's
name is set down officially on so
ciety's invitation lists of the year.
And with the Prince of Wales taking
one’s bow in person there would be
an added glamor.
SAN ANTONIO SUBURB
NOT INCORPORATED
SAN ANTONIO, Mar. 9.—(/Pi
Temple Hill, suburb, failed to hold
Its scheduled election on a propos
al to incorporate today after op
ponents of the move charged that
protagonists, in their zeal to show
a population big enough to create
legally a municipality, had included
2,000 inmates of the state insane
hospital as citi^i.
Election proponents denied this
charge and announced that ballot
ing was postponed because no sup
plies had been printed.

2 Dallas Men Held
In Kidnaping After
Youths Are Whipped
DALLAS. March 9.—(A*)—Alleged
to have kidnaped two 16-year-old
Dallas youths last night and taken
them to a creek bottom where one
of the prisoners assertedly was
lashed with a belt, Van Lindsley
and Blackie Martin were charged
with assault and false imprison
ment in complaints sworn against
them late today.
Gentry T. Jones and Jack Hoyle
said they were sitting in an auto
mobile in front of Hoyle’s home last
night when the two men approached
and, at pistol point, forced them
into their automobile and took them
to the secluded spot. A pistol was
held on Hoyle while his abductors
took turns flogging him, the boys
declared.
Jones and Hoyle said they were
ordered to cease paying attention
to a girl. After being brought back
to the city, Hoyle said he was forc
ed to hold a telephone conversa

had “been whipped.”

HOOVER HOIDS
FARM AH) MEET
Law Enforcement, Mexican
Revolution Discussed
In Parleys Also
WASHINGTON, March 9.—(£*)—
Herbert Hoover closed his first
week in the presidency today with
conferences on farm relief, law en
forcement, and the first important
foreign problem of his administra
tion, the situation created by the
Mexican revolution.
House and senate leaders were
among his callers, bringing with
them the problem of a legislative
program for the special session of
congress which Hoover has called
for next month, while Secretary
Kellogg visited the White House
to discuss developments in the
Mexican insurrection. The state
department head assured the pres
ident that events of the last 2i
hours had given no cause for in
creased alarm.
Word went out that the president
had not yet considered the person
nel of his proposed commission for
a study of federal law enforcement
and court procedure.
Chairman McNary of the senate
agriculture committee informed the
president that he intended to open
hearings shortly on a farm relief
measure with a view to having a
bill drafted for consideration of the
senate when the special session
meets on April 15.
From Chairman Snell of the
house rules committee, Mr. Hoover
heard that it is proposed that the
house follow much the same plan
and he predicted that a farm bill
could be approved by the house in
less than a week.
