Hamrock, and William V. Roberts presi- dent of the commission, who is in Denver over the week end. Admission by seven witnesses tes- tifying in behalf of former Governor Sweet, who is pressing the charges, that they were citizens of the “Ir visible Empire brought to a head the rumored klan interests that were said to be back of the proceed- ings, against the nationally known road building warden. Feeling had run high throughout the hearing with adherents of both Tynan and Sweet applauding every time either side scored a point in the examination of cross examina- tion of witnesses, Although the move came, sudden- ly, it was not wholly unexpected as President Roberts, seeking to fore- stall any demonstration, at the out- set of the hearings here announced that, at the ffrst sign of a demon- stration, the commission would re- tire within the prison walls or to “some other safe place” to continue the taking of testimony. Efforts of the defense counsel to prove a klan conspiracy behind the charges has met with an audible murmur of protest by many of the court room spectators, who, appar- ently, were sympathetic to the kla At one juncture, early last we S. Harrison White, chief Tynan counsel, declared that the klan was behind the whole proceedings and that the defense could and would prove that the invisible empire had for its purpose the gaining of con- trol of the penitentiary “to barter in pardons.” UNION ARMY CORPS HEAD GOES WEST WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 23.— Major General James Harrison Wil- son, U.

Things women can do in*war are being studied by the general staff, General Hines said, not with the idea of “making fighters of our girls, or of creating any such thing 48 a woman battalion of death.” But experience has proved, he sald, that “there are some tasks that women can perform better than men, and the study was intended to catalogue these to show “how woman volun. teers of the future may be used to the best advantage—in order to re- lease men for heavier and more dangerous duties.” Referring to national defense TYNAN TRIAL MOVED TO SPRINGS: KLAN LE IS FEARED P.

SMALL (Copyright, 1925, Cas Tribune) 22 —The trouble about General “Billy” Mitchell is’ that he hates peace. Peace in any form is abhorrent to him. He would rather be blowing up a battleship or. general or an admiral than to sail serenely on his tempo- vary grade of brigadter-general. The “flying general" is growing more and more worried, too. He is not worried because he thinks something is going to happen to him. He is afraid it won't. The martyr complex is strong upon him. It is the cross le is striving for. He wants to add it to the ra collection of dec ations, foreign and domestic, that plaster his manly chest today. General Mitchell is being aided and abetted in his desire to take a nose dive out of the one-star class by the alreraft inve ng committee of | the house of representatives, The comnilttee calls the general He, Is asked all manner of ques «._He is led into denouncing all Ary who arse poweb.

The general is sum- moned once more, He fs asked fur- ther pertinent questions and gives further impertinent replies, con- demning all and sundry in power. Again the pause. Again the calm: Nothing happens. What next? The general is summoned once more. (Continued on Page Six) it. “an the nese FLYING GENERAL|.. before } IBLACKMAIL OF MRS.

Judge Olson said that his brother had been a friend of the McClin- tock’s before the birth of William and was a frjend of the youth until his death three years ago, when Wil Mam was 18, Dr, Olson thought Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd were trying to lessen his influence with the youth, whom he intended to guide in mak ing a will, said Judge Olson.
