release from the custody of the law
had been completed, her attorneys
announced.

the home of relatives at Wilson,
Okla, where she will rest for a few
cays.
Con f err nee Precedes Hearing.
A conference was held in the sher
iffs office, attended by the sheriff.
Mrs. Hamon s uncle, B. F. Harrison,
and Charles A. Coakley, one of her
attorneys. Shortly afterward the
party drove to the office of H. M.
Cannon, justice of the peace, where
preliminary hearing was waived and
bond arranged.
Mrs. Hamon, who rested in a Fort
Worth hotel last night before resum
ing her Journey from Chihuahua City,
Mexico, arrived at Ardmore at noon.
Attorney Charles A. Coakley, counsel
for Mrs. Hamon, arrived here early
this morning after having accom

to Fort Worth. He said that he left
the party at Fort Worth in order that
he might make advance arrangements
here for preliminary hearing and
bond for his client.
"Mrs. Hamon is in a complete state
of exhaustion and her nerves are
shattered," Coakley said, explaining
the stopover at Fort Worth.
Plans Are Carried Ont.
Reports of a threatened breach in
the plans which had been agreed upon
before Mrs. Hamon surrendered were
emphatically denied by Coakley. J
"Everything is in harmony; Mrs.
Hamon s stopover in Fort north was
a physical necessity and not due to
any rupture in our plans, he said.
Plans of Mrs. Hamon's counsel
called for her detraining at a sta
tion south of Ardmore and enterin
the city by m-tor car, to evade th
crowds which were . expected
gather at the depot.
The magistrate, county attorney.

made her appearance.
The circulation of a bond late yes
terday by Fred E. Tucker, forme
Oklahoma state senator and local rea
estate man, to be tendered for Mrs.
Hamon when she made her petition
for bail resulted in affixing of many
signature, a few of which represented
wealth estimated at between four and
five million dollars. Men prominen
in the affairs of practically all pro
fesslons in Ardmore signed as bonds'
men.
Friends of Mrs. Hamon, as well as
ber counsel, were determined that she
should not be placed in jail.

COVER.VOR OLCOTT OF OREGOJf AND W. H. OI.COTT. HIS FATHER,
AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.
ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., Dec. 25.
(Special.) Ben Olcott, governor of
Oregon, had not seen his father or
mother for five years, so when the
convention of governors came to end
at Harrisburg, Pa., several days ago.
he made a quick jump to Philadelphia,
then to Washington, in quick order,
and skipped 1000 miles from the capi
tal to St. Petersburg, where Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Olcott are spending their
11th winter season.
Governor Olcott was besieged with
invitations to banquets and luncheons
by both civic and social organizations
on his arrival, but he firmly and po
litely turned them all down, prefer
ring to be with his parents. They
are from Mercer county. Illinois. The
governor's father is an ardent devotee
of the game of roque, played much
like croquet. Father and son par
tlcipated in several matches, in which
the latter came out second best.
While his stay in the "Sunshine
City" was short, the Oregon . chief
executive covered every point of in
terest in the resort. He was taken
on several flights over St. Petersburg
and the peninsula in a high-powered
hydroplane.
When interviewed, Governor Olcott
said he was sorry he could not make
his stay longer in the city and take
part in its many recreations.
'There are three of the finest boys
in the world waiting for me back In
Oregon," he said, displaying several
photographs of three youngsters, "and
I am anxious to be there with them.

by P. J. Wiley, 666 East Fifteenth

Wilson was taken to the city emer
gency hospital, but the interne was
absent on a call and he was moved to
the Good Samaritan hospital, where
the fracture was reduced. ,
As the Injured man's automobile
admittedly was without a tail light,
Wiley was not held responsible by
the police.
CONGRESS MAKES RECORD
(ConUnofd From First Page.)
months ago, will approve the house
resolution and the question will again
go to the president for determination.
He has vetoed this resolution once,
consequently his attitude when the
measure reaches him again will be
observed with keen interest to ascer
tain if he has taken cognizance at
all of the verdict delivered by the peo
pie at the polls on November 2.
Other measures passed by the one
or other house of congress in the
short period of the session include
the following:
Bill to amend food and drugs act
to protect public from misbranding
of containers and packages, passed
house.
Bill to provide for award of medals
of merit for personnel of merchant
marine for heroism in war, passed
. the house.
Bill extending the time for 1920 as
sessment work on 'mining claims to
July 1, 1921, passed by both houses
and sent to the president.
Resolution providing for the ap
pointment of committee of three each
from senate and house to make ar
rangements for the inauguration
March 4, passed by both houses. Mem
bers of committee are Senators Knox,
Kelson and Overman and Representa
tives Cannon, Reavis and Rucker.
Appropriation Bills Studied.
Meanwhile a multiplicity of import
ant measures are under consideration
in the committees of house and sen
ate. The appropriations committee of
the house is holding hearings on
every one of the large appropriation
bills, and the ways and means com
mittee is studying the tariff needs of
the country from every angle, as
well as having given attention to the
problem of stimulating home-building
which real estate boards' have ar
gued can be accomplished by exempt
ing real estate mortgages from taxa
tion up to a value of 140.000.
The Sheppard-Towner material wel
fare bill, better known as the "baby
bill," has been passed by the senate
aad bearings axe sow being held by
the house committee on Interstate
and foreign commerce.
Another measure of Importance to
the entire country that is to receive
early attention provides for appro
priations to continue federal aid in
the construction of highways, mis
bill was Introduced in the house of
representatives by Representative
McArthur of Oregon and in the senate
by Senator Chamberlain.
Road Funds Asked.
As introduced, the bill asks $100,
000,000 a year for five years for pub
lic roads and 110,000,000 a year for
ten years for forest roads. A favora
ble report on the bill in modified
form will be made cn January 25, ac
cording to Representative Summers
of Washington, a member of the
roads committee of the house.
"The bill will probably carry an
appropriation for only one year," said
Representative Summers, "because
this congress does not wish to com
mit ' an incoming administration,
friendly to the good-roads movement,
to a fixed policy.
"An appropriation can be made to
keep the work going next year to give
President Harding time to formulate a
roads policy and send his recommen
dations to congress.
"The amount will not be $100,000,
000," Mr. Summers continued, "but
will be an amount sufficient to carry
the work along on the same scale as
in the last year. There will be no
curtailment of road work, but the
committee does not believe that the
same amount or anything like it will
be required, because of the decreased
prices of road materials."
POLICE Pity RISE ASKED
LIFT OF $3,000,000 YEARXT IS
WASTED IX CHICAGO.
Decent Living Wage to Offset
Temptations Recommended by
Department Chief.
CHICAGO, Dec. 25. Chief of Police
Fltzmorris has asked that the po
lice department's payroll be increased
by about $3,000,000 annually so that
"the men would receive a decent liv
ing wage and not be likely to give in
to the temptations to which they nec
essarily are subjected." Such in
creases would help greatly to stop
crime, he said. -
Chief Fitzmorris did not ask for
more men, explaining that he could
"do more to stop crime in Chicago
with a moderate size". but well-paid
force than with a large force under
paid." Patrolmen under Chief Fitzmorris'
plan would receive about $500 more
a year. Present salaries range from
$1600 to $2000.

Carson, the Ulster unionist leader. In
a Christmas message today to the

"I am afraid the present Christmas
in many parts of Ireland finds little
subject for congratulations on the
peace that ought to reign at such a
time. The crimes and outrages which
are doing so much to ruin the fair
name of Ireland in themselves are
blot on that Christianity, the birth of
which we celebrate at this time. -"But
let our prayers be offered that
a great change may soon be brought
about and let ns in Ulster try and
show the example by carrying out the
doctrines of the religion to which we
adhere to the great benefit of all of
the people and to the glory of Christianity."

principal characteristics will be
long cruising radius, enabling them
to accompany the fleet under practi
cally all conditions, and new struc
tural designs to make them as nearly
as possible proof from depth charges.
The submersibles will be over 300 feet
long with a displacement of about
000 tons.
Other Types Proposed.
The propelling machinery for sur
face cruising will be two main Diesel
engines aft. The other Diesels for

which will provide current for the
two main electric motors to propel
the submarines when submerged. The
estimated surface speed is 20 knots
