House Action
Kramer Vigorously Attacked
For Violating Law, But
$200,000 Appropriation
Passes.
Washington, . May 23. After
heated discussion of the prohibition
question during which Commission
er Kramer was bitterly criticised and
as vigorously defended, the houae
voted today an additional $200,000
for enforcement ot, the Volstead
act until July 1.
Representative Volstead proposed
the increase in the "total of the de
ficiency appropriation bill to permit
retention on federal pay rolls of
TOO prohibition agents who Mr.
Kramer, had announced would
dro--ed for the remainder of ths
iiscal year because of siftage of
funds. , ,
f amendment wa adopted, 71
to 38, less than one-fourth of the
house membership being present,
but another vote can be demanded
before the hill i :(sed.
Value is Questioned.
Even the members vj favored
the amendment, .however, doubted
whether it would afford relief in time
to be of much value, inasmuch as
the bill after passage by the house
must go to the senate.
During the wrangling Chairman
Good of the appropriations commit
tee, who opposed the VolstJid
amendment, said Mr. Kramer had
violated penal provisions of law by
incurring a deficit and had r,:
himself liable to jail sen .nee."
"I want Mr. Kramer to obey the
law just as much as bootleggers."
he declared, adding that $6,900,000
had been appropriated for prohibi
tion enforcement during the current
fiscal year.
Mr. Kramer was defended by Rep
resentative Byrns, Tennessee, rank
ing democrat of the committee, as
a conscientious official doing his best
to enforce the law.
Mr. Volstead defended Mr. Kram
er's administration, declaring there
was no ground for criticism.
No Funds Asked.
Declaring no estimate for addi
tional funds for prohibition enforce
ment had been submitted to the ap
propriations committee and thaf.no
one had appeared before the com
mittee to explain the situation, Mr.
Byrns said that if the secretary of
the treasury had requested funds he
would have gotten all he wanted.
As the house milled through the
deficiency bill today, a provision for
the i creation of an office of first as
sistant secretary of the treasury at
a salary of $10,000 a year and an
amendment providing for purchase
by th government of $100,000,000
of farm loan bank bonds were elim
inated on points of order.
One provision . approved would
permit the Treasury; department to
spend any part of the $18,600,000 ap
propriation last session for additional
hospital facilities for disabled serv
ice 'men in the improvement of ex
isting facilities. The original bill
provided that $12,500,000 was to be
expended for new hospitals.

plained, "that there are some men
in the world who have their own
ideas of what law should be, and
these men are not willing to accept
the court's interpretation of it." "t
Wife Present.
Mrs. Mae Chester, wife of Chester,
holding , her 6-year-old daughter.
Lola, sat in the front row back of
the railing and listened closely to
the questioning. She appeared to be
28 or 29 and wore dark clothing.
NeAt to her 'was Mrs. Lillian Ches
ter, mother of the accused man.
, It is expected nearly two weeks
will be taken up by the trial,' the
defense, it is rumored about the court
room, having many surprise wit
nesses ready.
Among these will be Dr. Martin
Hansen of Broken Bow, Neb., one
of the two men who captured Ches
ter following his escape from detec
tives while being returned to Kansas
City. ' .
Dr. Hansen's testimony, it is
understood, will deal with events in
connection with Chesters escape
from the officers and is expected to
prove a sensation.
Miss Barton was shot to death
October 3, on the lonely Davenport
road near the Blue Hilts Country
club while sitting in a motor car
with her fiance, Howard Winter.
Winter was also shot and wounded
by an assassin.
The trial is expected to be one of
the most sensational in , criminal
courts here, throbbing with romance
the love stories of Kansas City
society and the socalled underworld.
Three Men Suspected.
The finger of suspicion soon after
the death of Miss Barton pointed
toward Denel Chester and two com
panions, Fred Roberts and a third
who has not yet been arrested.
Through many states he was
trailed, as far west as California, and
finally through letter nuroorted to
have been written by "Alice King,"
a woman known in the underworld
here as "Chester s woman, he wa3
lured to Great Falls, Mont., and cap
tured. Three guzzled and veteran detec
tives were sent to bring Chester
back tOuKansas City.
. "Kill Chester if he attempts to es
cape" were the orders given them.
; i Jumped from 'Train,
i Yet Chester escaped.
i On the outskirts of Broken Bow,
Neb., Chester mysteriously escaped
from the stateroom of a Burlington
passenger train. ' ' . '
The detectives said he leaped
through two. thicknesses of Pullman
car window glass.
Posses were formed and for four
days and four nights the territory
in the vicinity of Broken Bow was
combed, for the fugitive.
Bloodhounds, airplanes and auto
mobiles loaded with armed men
scoured the section until Chester was
arrested while walking nonchalantly
along a deserted road 30 miles south
of Broken Bow.
After being locked in the Broken
Bow jail, Chester denied being im
plicated in the murder and even in
ferred his escape had been forced
upon him.
Chester Attempts Suicide.
Then he tried to kill himself twice.
Locked in a solitary cell, he wrote
a tetter to be sent his mother, and
then hanged himself with a strap
from his leather puttee to the iron
bars of his cell.
He attempted to break his neck
by hurling himself full weight en
the strap and by strangling himself
with strips torn from his blanket.
He was discovered unconscious by
Sheriff Talbott and soon revived by
physicians.
Seven hours later he tried to kill
himself again, and succeeded in in
juring himself permanently by hurU
mg himself, head downward, against
the stone floor of the cell.
Has Remained Silent
Since "then he has not spoken a.
word. -v
. He was removed to Kansas City
on. a stretcher, where thousands met
the train and viewed him as he was
borne from the railroad 1 station to
the hospital.
i Efforts to force him to talk have
failed, even to the extent of . trying
laughing gas.
-Chester regained health suffictfnt
ly to be arraigned for his preliminary
hearing in February, three months
after his capture in Nebraska.
Woman Tells Tale.
The underworld romance of
Blanche Ryan, at whose home hi
lived in Kansas City, proved lo be
one of the principal links which
caused Chester to be held for trial
Ion a first degree murder charge,
Brummels of
Know 'Em?
Mrs.' Ryan to divulge information
from the witness chair which she
claims' Chester imparted to her the
night before he left Kansas City.
Leaders of the underworld are de
bating on whether "Wop" Mc
Kowan, now reported dying from
tuberculosis incurred from peni
tentiary terms, will remain loyal to
his former pals in their time of
jeopardy, or will substantiate the
story of Blanche Ryan, who has
bn known as "Wop's woman."
It was with them Chester made
his home'for a time in Kansas City.
President Reaffirms
His Policy in Speech
(Continued From Fae One.)
the good accomplished for the gen
eral public.
Recapitulating the work already
done by the re-organization commis
sion created by congress and by
executive orders of the administra
tion, the president said, considerable
progress was promised for the im
mediate future.
Text of Address.
The text of the president s address
follows in part:
"Everywhere we turn we note that
government has in recent time as
sumed a more complex relationship
to the public than it ever sustained
before. The -obilization of man
power, industrial forces and financial
resources, which was made necessary
in the war's exigencies, could only
have been accomplished through the
exertion of the utmost powers of gov
ernment. '
"Many men thoughtlessly urge that
the government took over the con
trol, even the conduct, of many in
dustries and facilities during the
war; there followed a great increase
in wages, a vast expansion ot'busl
ness activity. ' Therefore why not ap
sume that continuance of such' con
trol and management, in time of
peace, would enable continuance of
the same liberality in compensation
and profits, the same intense business
activity?
'Those who look below the sur
face know that the things .which gov
ernments, accomplished "during the
war were accomplished at a stagger
ing cost; a cost which society could
not bear for long; a cost that has
left society burdened with debts
which mortgage generations of the
future. They know that the feverish
seeming of prosperity was not
genuine. ,
Must Adopt Efficiency. ; , ,
"Every principle '' and device
which promotes efficiency in private
business should be adapted and ap
plied in, government affairs,. I will
trust the public official who decides
his public problem as though it were
his very own.
"Fortunately the prospect is not
so hopeless as might appear. The,
party in power is pledged to economy
and . efficiency and you may be as
sured that every energy is being di
rected to redeem that pledge to the
last degree and with all promptness.
"At the -beginning of his adminis
tration President Taft secured from
congress the establishment- of an
economy and efficiency commission.
It made a comprehensive survey of
activities, organization and personnel
oi the whole, government establish
ment. The report of that survey
was never printed. But it is avail
able and can be consulted to de
termine wher.e wasteage and over
lappings of function are.
"The present congress has already
provided for a joint committee on
the re-organization of th adminis-.
trative . branch of the government.
The task will require some time and
ultimate results must await it
Urges Budget System.
"But meanwhile we shall I truSt,
have a budget system in operation
under the law, before the opening of
the, new fiscal year. But the budget
program will not do everything
-there must still be much and" con
tinuing effort to keep expenses down
to insure full value for every dollar
of the taxpayers' money the govern
ment spends.
"Too much stress cannot be laid
on the fact that eternal vigilance is
the. price of economy and efficiency.
It requires persistent, ..determined,
stony-hearted devotion to the public
interest. Even the administration
will loose a good deal of. immediate
loyalty on the part of a certain Class
of politicians, -which will not be
compensated to it at once in theap
preciation of the public; for the pub
tie will not have the deep, immediate
interest, or the active concern,' which
will animate the person who finds
himself being pried loose from the
purse strings.
"Nevertheless, thankless and un
gracious, as the task will he for most
of those who devote their efforts to
it,, it must and will he attacked, it is
hems; attacked, with'.! determina-.tion,"
Short Selling
Brings Advance
In Grain Prices
May Wheat' Finishes Week at
46 Cents Over Low Point
Of Season Market .
Strained.
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune. Omh Bra Leased Wire.
Chicago. May 23. Removing
grain market competition through
legislative enactments appears to
be the main dbject for which the
farm organizations are working, ac
cording to statements :ssued by their
leaders. Whether it can be accom
plished successfully is a question.
Without competition there -would be
no trade in gram or other com
modities. Leaders in the grain trade are
asking why the leaders fear compe
tion and why they avoid putting
their- co-operative schemes into
force in the open market. If the
schemes are sound and economically
better,, than existing methods, they
would drive competitors, out and
force a change to the new methods.
Reports frorn various sections in
dicate the United States Grain
Growers, Inc., are going ahead with
their pooling plans. From Fargo,
N. D., committees report that
40,000,000 bushels of wheat to be
raised in Montana, Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon have been pooled
in the organization.
Demonstration Last Week.
The grain trade had a good illustra
tion of the effects of speculative
markets and of the workings of the
Chicago marTcet as the world's grain
clearing house last week. The ef
fect of short selling was clearly
demonstrated by the advances. Com
paratively few people outside of the
grain trade , comprehend the real
benefits of short selling and its ef
fect on the market. It creates both
a seller and a buyer and goes furth
er toward making a big market and
keeping it alive than any other
system.
May wheat advanced from $1.43 to
$1.66 1-4 .last week, showed' an ad
vance of 463-4 cents from the low
point of the season and was within
9 1-4 cents of the highest points of
a year. July advanced 27 cents from
the recent low and was within 1 cent
of the season's high.
Expectations are that stocks of
wheat, corn, and oats here will show
a decreaese for the week. The future
course of wheat values is largely de
pendent upon weather conditions in
the southwest and over the greater
part of the country. Continued hot
and dry, weather, in the southwest
will reduce yields of wheat and oats.
'. ' Market Strained. ,
As the short interest has been cut
down; good ' general rains and a
move for profits by leading holders
might cause a sharp decline. The
market acted strained at the last as
Chicago May wheat is the highest
of the country. But it is not ex
pected any quantity of cash wheat
will be brought here for delivery
on May sales. No one has any de
finite idea who the stiorts in May
wheat are, while the longs are sea
board exporters who want the cash
grain. "
The advance in wheat prices is
most remarkable wlen it is con
sidered that conditions, from a spec
ulative standpoint, were largely
against large buying. . '
Moves to obtain adverse legisla
tive action at Washington and
Springfield have kept speculative in
vestors out of the market of late and
have resulted in declinind prices.
Deterioration of the winter wheat
crop in the southwest, with greatly
reduced estimates and small losses
in parts of the central west, com
bined with light stocks everywhere,
lack of pressure of cash wheat and
fair export buying, offset all depress
ing influences and brought in a large
run of buyers at the last, making a
strong, broad, advancing market, ,
with the highest prices well held at
the close, r . - -

Most Hopeful Influence.
"To my mind, the federal land
bank is the most hopeful influence in
bringing us back to prosperity," said
Mr. Engels. The general willing
ness of the farmers around here to
part with their stuff is also a great
help to all business. This move
ment has just started. It can o"hly
be - explained by- saying . that the
farmers feel conditions do not war

The Paris municipality is attempting

In some iof the sections away
from the heart of the city the un

along an eJevated structure. Under
some parts of these structures huge
warehouses for army stores were
erected during the war. Lofts could
easily be reconstructed into apart

accommodate 50,000 persons.

Utilized.. Opponents of the 6chenie

be able to get any sleep, owing to
the roars nf the trains, but its pro

less noise than those in Chicago for
the tracks of the former are laid
on a stone ballast.
