Later he was transferred to Pavne Field, ‘West Point, M and took a course in fying at that field. Although he was ordered to the port | of embarkation, at Garden City, N.

Sernd R TROOPS ORDERED OUT AFTER PILICE KILL 3 IN MINE WAR (Continued from First Page.) liam L. Lofgren, a negro miner from Louisville, Scherf had been directing the State law enforcement detachment in the =outhern Colorado fields, but went to the Columbine mine yesterday when it appeared the situation was heading toward a crisis. Gov. Adams revived the State law enforcement department several weeks 8go to combat with picketing. He an- nounced at the time that units of the Colorado National Guard were ready for mobilization, but that he thought the State policemen assigned to strike duty could cope with any outbreaks. Several National Guard airplanes have been used for scouting purposes, co-operating with the State law en: forcement officers. State officials have repeatedly de- clared that picketing was unlawful and many 1. W. W. leaders are held in jail in southern Colorade for ignor- ing warnings to cease demonstrations which would intimidats miners desir- ing to work. The strike has been de- clared illegal by the State Industrial Commission. Nation-Wide Call Issued. Today's demonstration followed a Nation-wide call issued through I. W. | W. publications for all *‘foot-loose” members to assemble in Colorado to aid in extending the strike. Soon after this call was broadcast, men from other States arrived in both the northern and southern fields, lead- ing to rumors that a general renewal of picketing was planned. Although strike activities apparent- Iy have been centered in the north- ern field, State police were ordered to remain on duty in the southern area, jarticularly in the Walsenburg district, where the I. W. W. made their headquarters hefore the arrest of all known strike leaders two weeks 280, which virtually ended picketing.

Fish. A long statement was issued vester day by ] counsel for Edward 1 nd not guilty of crimins ing out of the le: naval oil reserve from a speech in which H; ing said in referring to Sinclair Doheny: y attempted to have tried to wper with the jury, and if the word s out that rich men who do these things can escape justice by these methods, it will do more to un- dermine confidence in the Government I the vaporings of misguided Reviewing the history of the heny trial at lenzth, Hogan decl “The truth is there is no founda- tion whatever for your charge. There is no ground upon which to base even an insinuation of such a fact. There is no vestige of truth in it. There is no warrant for any man making such a statement at any time in any place regarding Mr. Doheny.” Refers to Civil Cas Hogan inclosed a letter from Owen J. Roberts, special Government oil counsel, saying that there had never been any intimation of “jury tamper- ing” in ‘that trial. Referring to the decision of the Supreme Court against Doheny in the civil case in which the lease to the Elk Hills naval reserve was canceled, Hogan sa; “We accepted, as we had to accept, that de- cision, and the records of the United States Court at Los Angeles show an order signed by District Judge Mc- Cormick to the effect that my clients have fully complied with every re- quirement of the court’s orders in the civil case.” Mr. Hogan add: We ex- pected that those who believed in our form of government, and preached the duty of abiding by decisions ar- rived at by the tribunals established by our Constitution, would accept the equally binding decision reached on the criminal trial. I think the great majority who followed e did accept that result.” He concerned with differances of regarding the merits of the which Doheny was a part, grants the right of every man and woman to draw his or her own con- clusions from the fucts, but he does hold that those “who adhere to and support constitutional government should agree that a man against whom a criminal charge is made is required, on the one hand. and en titled, on the other, to e that charge determined by a jury selected in accordance with law."” “If you yield,” says the statement, “as 1 know you do, assent to that proposition, then as a good American, as a believer in fair play, as an ad- he-~nt to the principles of the square deal, you must further agree that a cit! tried and acquitted by such a jury is entitled to the result of that acquittal, unless the fact be that the result has been corruptly accom- plished.
