HIGH COURTS TO
HEAR APPEALS OF
BOY MURDERERS
Alson B. Cole and Allen Gram
.mer,' Sentenced to' 'Death
' For. Murder, Still Hope
' For New Trial. -
Lincoln, Neb., May 19. (Special.)
The case's of Alson B. Cole and
Allen Grammer, Howard county
youths under death sentence for the
murder of Mrs. Lulu Vogt, Gram
mer's mother-in-law, are treated in
briefs prepared by Assistant Attor
ney General Wheeler, and which
were filed today' in the state and
federal courts.
Cole's case will be argued in the
Nebraska supreme court during the
week of June 7, while Grammer's
case is to be heard in the United
States circuit court of appeals at St.
Paul, Minn., on May 24.
The Cole case is an appeal from
Howard county where Judge Paine
denied Cole a write of "coram no
bis," which is the common lawpro
cedure for a complete retrial of the
case on merits. In his original case
no appeal was made to the supreme
court, after sentence, his attorney re
fusing to file motion for a new trial,
thus shutting oYf appeal. ,Cole's at
torneys also contend he was con
victed on his own plea and not by
the taking of testimony or evidence.
Claim Trial Was Unfair.
Grammer's case is an appeal frotn
the federal court in Lincoln where
he vas denied a writ of habeas cor
pus by Judge Hunger, on his conten
tion that his original trial lacked
rdue process of law" in that evidence
was supressed; that one juror was
not a citizen and was incompetent,
and that mob 'spirit pervaded the
court room during the trial.
. In his brief in the Cole case,
Wheeler rather spoofs the coram
nobis procedure which is the first
instituted in 'this state, saying that
the statute provides the proper form
of appeal, andthat this process is
not proper relief where the def end
form, Wheler says it "is as obsolete
peal. Speaking of the coram nobis
form, Wheeler says it "is as obselete
as a prosecution1 for witchcraft or a
trial by battle."
All Allegations Denied.
In the Grammer brief, Wheeler,
contends-that jurisdiction does not
rest with the circuit court of appeals,
but with the supreme court, under
federal statute section' 128 which
limits the right of appeal in all cases

also denies the various allegations
set forth by Grammer's attorneys
as regards the conduct of the trial,
saying that the only evidence claim
ed suppressed by Grammer's at
torneys is the evidence of Cole who
could not be called to the stand by
the state's attorneys in that he was
a defendant himself.

Webster City, la., May 19. (Spe
cial.) From a druggist in Hamilton
county, Iowa, pleadjjig guilty on an
indictment charging the illegal sale
of intoxicating liquors to the Demo
cratic chairmanship of the Multno
mah (Oregan) central committee,
carrying with it the high position of
political boss in the city of Portland,
Oregon, is a far cry. Yet within a
period of 22 years it has been ac
complished by Gilbert E. Hamaker,
to whom President Wilson a few
days ago sent a long telegram, which
has been construed as seeking to
bring about the defeat of Senator
Chamberlain at the Oregon pri
maries Friday.
Hamaker was born and reared at
Jewell, fifteen miles south of this
city. While running a drug store in
Stanhope, also in this county, in
1898 he . was indicted for illegal
liquor selling. He was convicted,
asked for a new trial and got it. The
jury disagreed at the second trial.
He then pleaded guilty and was
fined $300 by Judge Whitaker of
Boone. Judge W. S. Kenyon, now
senator from this state, presided at
one of the9 trials.
Big Libel Suit Filed. '
When the Wilson telegram was
sent to Boss Hamaker in Portland,
asking him to use his influence to
nominate only those Democrats who
favored the peace treaty without
reservations (a slap at Senator
Chamberlain) Fred Barkhurst, now
an editorial writer oif a St Louis
paper.'but who ran a country weekly
in Stanhope 22 years ago, remem
bered Hamaker's history and sent
the Portland Journal, a news tip. The
newspapef used it and Hamaker im
mediately filed a liber suit asking
damages in the sum of $300,000. The
Portland paper, which is a staunch
supporter of Senator Chamberlain,
sent its Washington correspondent,
Carl Smith, to Webster City to veri
fy the Hamaker story. He went
through the court records and also
interviewed people who were active
ly interested in the Hamaker trial
Mr. Smith spent two days here,
leaving last night for Washington.
Fight at White Heat -s
Harvey G. Starkweather is Ha
makea primary candidate against
Chamberlain and Mr. Smith reports
vtha the fight, especially in the city
ot i'ortiand, has reacnea a wnne
heat. It is said that Starkweather
stood little show of beating Cham
berlain until the Wilson telegram
was sent to Hamaker. The Cham
berlain forces in fighting tack, are
using every possible meaits to dis
credit Hamaker and destroy his in
fluence in the city of Portland and
Northern Oregon. The court records
here verify the story of Hamaker's
early career and the supporters of
Senator Chamberlain are making the
most of it Mr. Smith also reports
that Senator Kenyon, a close 1 per
sonal friend of Senator Chamberlain,
also will make a speech in the sen
ate attacking Wilson's attempt to in
fluence the Oregon vote and expos
ing the Hamilton county record of
Gilbert E. Hamaker.

ENGLAND PLANS
NEW POLICY IN
RULING IRELAND
Will Pursue Terrorists Relent
lessly and Remove Restric
tions On Body of People,
London Times Says.
London, May 19. Important
changes' in the government's1 policy
in Ireland were decided, upon as a
result of conferences between Vis
count French, Major General Ma
cready and the government officials
in London last week and the ex
periences of Sir Lamar Greenwood,
the Irish secretary in Dublin, accord
ing to the London Times. The gov
ernment says the paper ws so im
pressed with the gravity of the situa
tion that it resolved to use every
weapon in the armory of the state
to crush the terror before it was too
late.
To Remove Restrictions.
On the other hand,". continues the
Times, "the restriction which irri
tates the whole community, will be re
moved and a more tolerant regime
for the people as a whole will be
adopted. Aa attentat to suppress
crime will be carried out by troops
operating in flying columns from a
series of garrison posts. These will
relentlessly pursue terrorists and
when a murderer is csptured and
convicted he will be hanged.
"Martial law will not be pro
claimed, nor any form of military
coercion imposed upon the people."
Threatens "Life for Life."
Dublin. May 18. The' Evening
Telegraph publishes a statement
that several Sinn Fein members of
parliament have received typewrit
ten letters declaring:
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a
tooth; therefore a life for a life."
The newspaper asserts that the
letter paper has proved to be that
seized by the Castle authorities
when the "Irish republican parlia
ment offices were raided by the
police last November.
Preacher Thinks the World
Is Going to Bow Wows Fast
Berkeley, Cal., May 19. "TIic
churches of today thrive on dollars.
The church is losing its ideals of
sacrifice through the contribution
box. The world is changing rapidly,
and this age is degenerated. Women,
on the whole, are today as eager for
participation, in vice as the men."
This stinging characterization of
church conditions was delivered by
Rev. J, R. Braeurer, San Francisco,
speaking before the Lutheran synod
here. i
