Despite declarations a_ 1 reports to the contrary by tho King himself, tne} above deduction is the viewpoint of conservative Greek statesmen and en- tente diplomats in Athens. King Constantine's spread - eagle| promises of leadinz his people to Con-| stantinople has been all bluff, it is now! admitted. At the present time King Constan- tine has a “diplomatic cold.” At the same,time, the provincial propaganda is working. Almost daily the govern-| ment papers print petitions from the| Macedonian, Thracian and Pellipone-| sian peasantry entreating the king not| to imperil his life by going to Smyrna.""| ‘The peasants loyally point out that his; majesty’s life belong to Greece, not to| himself. | From the royal palace emanates} the information that his majesty is not} at all displeased over the solicitious-| ness of his subjects. Smyrna at best| x a cold, } desolate place in winter, | The chief fear in royalist circles, | however, is that the Venizelists will] make capital out of any failure to} carry out pre-election pledges, In this} event, it is planned to have the king} pay a two or three-day visit to the front. In no case will he assume per-| sonal command of the troops. As to Greece's abandoning the war against Turkey ,it is pointed out that! Greece today cannot even pay the in-| terest on her former loans. For more| than the past quarter of a century} Greece has continually borrowed] money. Virtually none of the principal} has been paid. | The Greek people are either very) wealthy or very poor. Thus far no means of extorting taxes from the paupered peasants has been devised,| and no government has been strong] enough to extract any important! amount in internal loans from the rich Greeks. The Venizelos government secured about a million pounds by threats of| “confication and mobilization of wealth by the state.” The final restitt| was the transference of private wealth to Paris and London by the capitalists and the enforced migration of Veni- zelos and his cohorts to Nice . King Constantine and the present government wishes to stay. Obviously they will not attempt any drastic measures, The only recourse is to bolster up the national credit and get what is available from England, France or the United States. Diss Nt PACKING HOUSE INIONS MEET (Continued from Page 1) Harding last night asking him to re- quest the packers to suspend their| wage and hour changes, announced | to take effect next Monday. The tele-| gram also urged arbitration of labor! disputes. | “We. have taken an absolutely fair | stand on arbitration,’ Mr. Brennan| said. “We are willing to abide by the decisions of any one , two ‘or more men which the packers may select to arbitrate, or we will agree to any selection of an arbitration tribunal by the secretary of labor. All we ask is that the advantages given us by ar- bitration be not taken away without arbitration.” Mr, Brennan declared that the 'de- cisions of Judge Samuel Alschuler, war-time agreements still were in ef- fect by contract. The abrogation ‘of. these agreements as proposed by the packers, constitutes a violation of this contract, according to Mr. Brennan, and the injunction proceedings would be taken to prevent. any such viola- tion. The whole situation was placed be- fore Secretary of Labor James’ J. Davis on Tuesday by Mr, Brennan, who arrived here from Washington this morning. Mr. Brennan, in conference with the delegates, also took up the pro- gram of action in case a strike is called. CHICAGO, March 10.—A strike of stockyards workers represented at the Omaha, Nebr., conference, would have little effect on the meat supply of the country, according to a state- ment issued by Armour & Co. today. ‘The statement said that the men represented in Omaha are only “a small portion of the stockyard work- ers of the country,” and that the “packers for whom these men work control only a part of the ‘meat sup- ply,” and_that consequently any ac- tion they took would have little effect. Possibility of a strike was so re- mote “as to be hardly worthy of cor sideration,’ the statement said. | NO STRIKE IN AUR DISTRICT (Continued from Page 1.) most of the people, business men in the occupied district are worried over the conkequences of the new cus- toms system. Reports are current that certain factories have cancelled orders amounting to ‘sixty million marks, but these rimors have not been confirmed. People of the middle and working classes fear there will be an increase in stocks of provisions and are bo- sieging stores. In some cases, fear is expressed that siocks of food will be rapidly exhausted. COFFEE IMPORTERS TO BOYCOTT. ALLIES. BERLIN, March 10—(By The As- sociated Press}—The executive com- mittee of The Association of Coffee Importers of Hamburg has recom- mended that the members of the as- sociation make no purchases from England or France while the goyern- ments of those countries continue “their policy of oppression,” says a Hamburg dispatch to the Vossische Zeitung today. The committee is making efforts to induce similar associations in Berlin, Cologne and Bremen to join the boy- cott, the dispatch adds.

AMERICAN FORCES “STANDING PAT.” WASHINGTON, March 10.—Ameri- can troops on the Rhine are “standing pat," Secretary Weeks said today, and a similar attitude as to the Rhino sit- uation growing out of the occupation of additional German cities by the al- Mes was expressed at the state de- partment.

American troops, it was pointed out, occupy their position in Germany| under the terms of the armistice and not for the fulfillment of the treaty of Versaijles. Consequently it was considered unlikely that the state de- Partmnent would approve any plan by which they would assist in making the proposed tariff barrier around Germany effective.

Clara Smith Hamon’ was, charged with assault with intent/to Kill in in- formation filed by County Attorney Russell B. Brown the day following the shooting, which later. was changed to a charge of murder. A separate information was filed jointly charging Clara Smith Hamon and Jake Hamon! after she started back to Ardmore. with a statutory offense. Warrant on this charge was never served. Clara, Smith Hiamon was graduated the common schools of Lawton, Okla., afterwards attending business college at Fort Worth, Tex., and Okla- homa City, Okla,, and later assumed @ position as cashier and bookkeeper in several stores at Lawton. Mrs. Clara Hamon entered the em- ploy of Jake Hamon in the ‘summer of 1912 in the capacity of a private secretary, which position was main- tained until a short time before Mr. Hamon met his death, It had not been established at the time of her: trail whether. Mrs, Hamon was in Mr. Hamon’s employ at the time of his death. Mrs. Clara Hamon disappeared the day following the wounding of Jake Hamon and despite a search which gained nation-wide scope, was not dis- covered until she voluntarily gave her-| self up at Juarez, Mexico, shortly be- fore Christmas. Ardmore county offi- cials and attorneys from Fort Worth, ‘Tex., who had been retained by Mrs. Hamon’s uncle, Benjamin Harrison of Iowa, as counsel shortly before she surrendered, accompanied her back to Ardmore. Clara Hamon arrived in Ardmore on Christmas day and was granted her freedom under bond of $12,000 only a few moments after entering the sheriff's office, which served as a court room for her preliminary hearing and serving of bail. She pleaded not guilty. Following her release Mrs. Hamon spent the greater part of her time with her relatives at Wilson and Ringlling, Okla., west of Ardmore, and in consultation with her attorneys at Fort Worth.

Then the God of Luck smiled on this village—oil was struck, and the town was “made.” ‘The Ardmore of today is not unlike the smalier cities of the East or Middle ‘West. Its streets are ‘paved with as- phalt and brick its main thorofares are well lighted at night; /and its office buildings and residences are modern. Ardmore boasts of a population of 20,000. The Carter county courthouse, in which the trial is being: held, is a mod- ern structure and of the type usually found in towns of 20,000 in the Middle ‘West. The district courtroom has a seating capacity of, about 300.

Ruth Hamon~further stated that Frank Hamon was paid $100 a month by Jake Hamon as compensation for Raymond <lamon, Frank’s brother and also nephew of Jake Hamon, declared his uncle paid Frank $100 monthly be- cause of the latter's ill-health. x Interviews purporting to have been given newspapermen and others dur- ing her travel to Mexico and bofere she surrendered were denied by Mrs, Hamon in signed statements, made Mrs. Jake L. Hamon of Chicago, widow, stated when in Ardmore and Oklahoma City that she did not at that time desire to apprehend Clara Smith nor was it her wish to have her prosecuted. She declared then that Mr. Hamon’s deathbead statement that he died from accidental wounds was her belief. \ Injection of Clara Hamon's claim to a share of Jake Hamon’s estate threw another angle into the case, upon Which, defense counsel declared, would be brought to bear the disclos- ures that would follow.
