Many Changes Mad.
Many changes have already taken
place, particularly in the Treasury
department, it was said, where com
plete reorganisation of the bureau of
engraving and printing and the cu
toin service ba already been ef
fected, and where other important
shift are to he expected soon. Sim
ilarly in the shipping board and other
ngencie of the government, where
different idea of oflicc administra
tion is believed advisable, replace
ment of executive beads is taking
Pi"- , .
In some quarters the view was ad
vanced that reorganization would
proceed regardless of party affilia
tions until installation of new per
sonnel would wipe away all old
methods, now considered faulty, to
make way for the most modern pro
' cedure.
Reorganization is planned, it was
said today, in the internal revenue
. bureau ami will involve, it was de
clared, about a dozen important
places. As soon as the internal reve
nue bureau reorganization is finished,
the next bureau to be given atten
tion is expected to be that of pro
hibition enforcement. Just how
many "key positions" are involved in
this bureau arc not known, but it is
understood they are many.
Customs Receipts Larger.
Xincty per cent of the changes so
far made in treasury bureaus, it was
asserted, were under the civil scrvire
and mad j in accordance with civil
service laws. It was indicated that
there was no intention of making a
sudden wholesale change in the re
maining work of the reorganization
of th; internal revenue bureau, or in
the prohibition bureau; but. that the
work if ould require some weeks and
would be. made much along the lines
followed 5n the customs reorganiza-
v null. f Y r'
4 The f customs bureau officials, in
support of their changes, declared to
day that hi customs receipts for
March, 1922, were over $11,000,000
greater than the preceding March
and reached a total of $40,288,428, a
tigure which they said was larger
than' those of any single month in
the history oi the customs.

States army, lie has been in the
service since 18V9, according to the
post adjutant at fort sill. Keck
went to rort Sill from Arcadia, Ha.
in July, 1921.
Wife Dies.
Mrs. Beck, mother of the lieuten
ant colonel, left the fort in 1874 and
did not return until last August
when she came to Fort Sill to make
her home with her son. She is there
at present.
Lieutenant Colonel Becks wife
died last August at Atlantic City,
Word reached him here of her
serious illness and he left Post field
in an airplane for that city. His air
plane was wrecked near -Chicago
and he was forced to continue his
trip to Atlantic City by tram. Mrs,
Beck died soon after his arrival.
Lieutenant Colonel Beck, though
in charge of the Tost field, was as
sistant commandant, as the title of
commandant of both Post field and
Fort Sill is held by Brig. Gen. Ern
est Hinds.
Phone Service Suspended.
Lawton, Okl., April 4. All tele
phone service m and out ot Post
field was ordered suspended early to
day, it was learned when an attempt
was made to call officials regarding
the shooting of the field commander,
Lieut. Col. Paul W. Beck, at OkUv
homa City.
The name of Beck has been asso
ciated with Fort .Sill ever since the
original post was constructed fn
1869. Lieut. William H. Beck and
Mrs. Beck, parents of Lieutenant
Colonel Beck, came to Fort Sill on
January 8 of that year from Fort
Lyon, Colo. His father was at vari

Officer Slain at Oklahoma
City Formerly Resided Here
Lieut. Col. Paul M. Beck, Fort
Sill air chief, who was shot to death
yesterday, was a former resident of
Omaha.
For a short time he was reporter
on an Omaha newspaper. He was
appointed second lieutenant in the
United States army in 1899 through
the efforts of his father, Major
Beck.
Colonel Beck flew into Omaha
from Fort Sill with Maj. T. G.
Lanphicr of this city. Last April
the major's father, J. J. Lanphier,
iziA Cass street, said yesterday.
"My son came to Omaha to cele
brate his birthday" Mr. Lanphier
seid. "He brought Colonel Beck
with him in the airplane... They
were delayed by snow. But both
my son . and the colonel made the
flight back from Fort Crook."
Congress Strives
to End Miners' Strike
(Continued From Pace One.)
and Mr. Lewis tonight declared it
"had put forward a proposition
worth considering."
"However, I have no notion of
what the operators will do," he said.
Defends Working Hours.
During the hearings today, Mr.
Lewis defended the miners' union
proposal to establish a six-hour day
and five-day week, one of the de
mands originally made, scouting as
"absurd" a calculation by Represen
tative Black, democrat, Texas, that
this would occasion an extra annual
cost of $244,000,000 to the public for
coal.
Discussing the history of wage
negotiations, Mr. Lewis amplified the
repeated charge that the bituminous
operators of the central field had
broken a contract with the miners'
union in failing to confer with its
committee for a new wage scale be
fore the strike. The fact, he said, in
agreeing to a suggestion by Repre
sentative Condon, socialist. Jvew
York, "really gave the strike all the
aspect of a lockout."
Mr. Lewis arranged later to leave
tor .New lork to continue the
unions' negotiations with anthracite
operators. The reasonableness of the
fi'ture wage was the chief isue lie re,
he laid.
In reply lo questions from Repre.
mttive Black, Mr. Lewi said the
"basic day wage" in coal mining
under present conditions was $7.50 a
day, compared with f2.84 in 1VI.I. but
the scale in the latter year, he added,
"wa a pauper standard."
The house committee contemplate
fin titer inquiry into the coal industry,
with testimony from both operator,
and miners, and is expected lo con
tinue its hearing tomorrow.

by Miss Strickland and signed with

"What did you mean when you
wrote, 'our American No. 1 well
is now being drilled?'" he asked
her.
"Well, wc had dug the cellar In
which to place the drilling ma
chinery." she said.
Explains Other Statements.
"What did you mean by the state
ment, 'Wc have purchased our drill,
a Sparta?'"
She said they had arranged to
buy a drill but never got the money
to make the first payment.
"And what did you mean when
you wrote to Mrs. Vera Post, 'The
deeds to your units arc now being
sent to Montana for recording?'"
asked Mr. Kinsler.
"That referred to the future, I
think." said the witness.
Asked at the end whether she
had anything more to say in her
defense, she remarked that "the jury
has been bored enough."
She explained the oil salesmen's
"kits" which were carried in seeking
customers for the oil land units. She
admitted she' gave bottles of crude
oil to salesmen .but said she did not
tell them to inform" prospects that
there were any flowing wells near
the land they were seeking to de
velop. Miss Strickland s mother and aunt
were among the spectators in the
crowded court room.
The case will probably reach the
jury late today.

then read from the Congressional
Kecord ol early -1919 to show Mr.
Hitchcock that he and his party had
done "exactly the same things with
respect to getting the other fellows
out and the democrats in.
Mr. Norris asserted that charges
of his colleagues had not come from
untainted lips and therefore, could
be given little weight as evidence,
Mr. Worns also denied that re
publicans . had spread the doctrine
of a return to the spoils system,
saying that he believed most of
them were in favor of observing the
civil service law.
Moses Enters Fray.
'T preached a return to the spoils
system," interrupted Senator Moses,
republican, New Hampshire. "I did
it because I believe an administra
tion should be surrounded by its
friends, always have believed it and
have always said so.
I he senator ought to .have been
defeated, retorted senator Norris.
But I wasn t, replied Mr. Moses.
"I got the biggest vote any republi

that is evidence enough for me."
Senator Stanley, democrat. Ken
tucky, broke in with a demand that
the engraving bureau removals
were purely political, the administra
tion should say so.
"Never "Caught" Whining.
"The democrats will die with
badges of honor if you stand them
up against the political wall and
shoot them," he said.
But they object to sniping and
they object to this whieing from the
epublicans who want theif jobs.
Senator Moses answered with the
declaration that he never had been
'caught" whining and knew of no
one who had,, adding that "certain
ly it was not done at the other end
of the "avenue," the White House."
"Well," returned the Kentucky
senator, I commend the attitude
of the senator from New Hampshire
to the president then."

Seek Hole in Law
for Iowa Slavers
Attorney Attacks Amendment
to State Constitution in
Appeal for Olandcr.
lcs Moines. April 4. (Special
Telegram.) Four of Iowa's crim
inals, William Olandcr of Fort
Dodge, Eugene Weeks of Des
Moines, Ira Pcavey of Sious City,
all murderers, and Ernest Kathbuu
of Ida Grove, convicted of a statutory
attack, fought desperately through
their attorneys in the Iowa supreme
court today to evade sentences.
Olandcr was represented bv Rob
ert lfcaly, who attacked the legality
of the constitution of the state of
Iowa to save his client from the
noose Augjst 11. Hcaly was op
posed by Attorney General Gibson,
who has already obtained one con
firmation by the high court, on
Olander's sentence.
Hcaly claimed that Olandcr was
not convicted on a grand jury indict
ment, as required by the original
constitution of the state. A county
attorney's information brought Olan
dcr to trial. The constitution was
subsequently amended, but Hcaly
claimed the amendment illegally
made and not in force. He asked
that Olander be given a new trial. A
speedy decision by the high court is
expected. A decision for Olander
might mean that many men in state
prison would be entitled to a new
trial.
Gibson al.so pressed the case
against Weeks and Pcavey. He
filed motions to speed tip Weeks
final hearing, so that it could he
heard and decided before April 15,
when Weeks is sentenced to hang.
Similar action was taken on Pcavey,
who is sentenced for May 12.

you are driving about 5,000 miles a
year, that would mean a saving of
over 100 gallons of gasoline an
nually. Other cars show a propor
tionate saving. The new carburetor
also makes motors start easy, run
more smoothly and will handle a
gasoline-kerosene mixture as well as
straight gasoline. Car owners can
test this carburetor for themselves
in a 30-day trial if they desire. It
can be put on or taken off by anyone
in a few minutes. . All who want to
try it should send in their name, ad
dress and make of car at once.
There is also a chance for a local
man to secure a profitable agency
for this carburetor.

No Buick has ever had such a repu
tation as this. Buick only proves
again, what we all like to believe, that
nothing in the world makes itself
known so swiftly as to have the pub
lic accept it as standard value.
One of the reasons why there are so
many Buicks in use today is because
the owner knows that he can realize
a greater resale value from his Buick
than from any other make of car.
Buick gives the owner the desired
service and transportation.
