PASSPORTSTO

Committee of "Americans Who
Wisji to Investigate Conditions
Not to. Be Barred by United

Copyright, 1020, bjr The Journal
',. Washington, Nov. 27. The com
tmlttee of five Americans who plan
to investigate conditions in Ireland
will have no difficulty about their
passports. The British government
has determined to take no official
cognizance 4of the matter and the
. 0., British embassy 'here is treating the
s request , for1 the approval of pass
ports in much the same way as it
would treat the request of any Amer
ican Citizens.
Similarly the department of state will
issue passports to' the committee in 'the
game routine way that passports are
Biven to any Americans who want to go
to Great Britain' on pleasure or busi
ness. There has been some, talk In the
last few days that the department of
state might decline to Issue passports
. on the ground that the visit of the com
mission might be regarded as an inter
fcrence In the politics of another coun
try but the commission, on the other
hand, is an entirely private affair, and
its request for passports does not differ
from that of five newspaper men or any
other, group of Individuals who want' to
write about conditions in another coun
try. - - ' '
The department of justice will not be
responsible Xr the reports or utterances
of the committee any more than it is for
the writings of American correspondents
residing in Ireland or anywhere else in
Kurope. ' Y ' " '
mtlTAIX.HAD SAY
Of course; it was entirely within the
right of the British government to re
. fuse approval to the passports of the
commission. Frequently, during r the
war. the United States would issue
passports but the French or British gov-
ernments would refuse to' epprove . them

Washington, Nov. 27. (I. N. S.)
Women's part in carrying the na
tion's tax load, as indicated by reve
nue figures issued today, ; reveals
that they are paying into .the treas
ury on a basis of net Incomes to
talling S1.064, 000,009.
This amount, according to,.' idetaiied
figures of 191$ returns, applies only to
sjngle women, who - are .. supporting
themselves ior relatives, from their own
earnings.' - - '".
The indicated 'earnings of ' women
are still further increased if returns
filed by wives, entirely apart from Itus
bands' returns, are considered. Wives
are shown to have nt incomes amount
ing to one-third of a billion dollars.
Thus : women pay into, the treasury
on a basts of about one-tenth of the
total revenues collected, although they
constitute only about one-eighth of the
,5.000.000 who made returns in ,191. Of
ficials stated women taxpayers include
largely wage earners, although the lists
include women of wealth.

"Jack Doughty is the key that will un

Blue Sunday
Fight Takes
On Warmth
. .
Kinghtsof Columbus Head Favors
"Sane Reform"? Gompers De
nounces "Puritan Drive."
New York, Nov. 27. (U. P.)
The fight for "blue Sunday" legisla
tion in 30 state legislatures, fath
ered by the Lord's Day Alliance, be
came more bitter today in various
organizations lining up for or against
the question. ,
James A, Flaherty, head of the
Knights of Columbus, announced that
the organisation did notfoppvt "sane
reform," but said the Knights of Co
lumbus wa against prohibition of Sun
day sports.
Samuel Gompers, head of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, today de
nounced those back of the '"Puritan
drive" for assuming they are working
in behalf of the laboring man.
"Labor has not called on them for5
assistance and they cannot speak for
labor," said Gompers. "The man who
works has a right to spend Sunday in
wholesome recreation."
Many leaders of the Anti-Saloon
league, which played a big part in
making the country dry, have joined in
the new movement. Dr. E. C. Dinwiddle,
who is centering his efforts on the Dis
trict of Columbia, said It was the plan
to have congress pass strict Sunday
laws for the district and for insular
possessions, army and navy reserva
tions, as the first step in the fight.
Later, It is understood, agitation will
be started for an amendment to the
constitution, which will form the basis
for strict Sabbath laws. Putting the ban
on Sunday theatres, cigar stores, soda
fountains, gas stations and newspapers
Is contemplated.
Dr. Harry L. Bowtby, general secre
tary of the Lord's Day Alliance, asked
heads of New York transportation lines
to curtail service on Sunday so as just
to meet needs of churchgoers. Similar'
requests will be made,;in other cities.

HARM CASE
LAMB KILLING
Friend's Body, Drilled Through
Heart, Found Near Ardmore 36;
Hours 'After Magnate's Death. ;
, .
Mystery Suggests Two Supposed
Murders May Be Connected;
National Search for Woman.
Ardmore, Okla., Nov. 27. The
finding of the "body, of J. E. Lamb,
millionaire oil operator and close
friend of NJaTfe T. Hamon. multi-mil-
Llionaire pVbmoter, lying along the
Santa. Fe tracks just outside the city
limits, gave police a new -murder
mystery to solve late todajv Lamb
had been shot to death. .:......'
Police attached no significance to the
fact that Lamb met his death from a
bullet wound just 36 hours after Hamon
died from effects of a similar wound.
A bullet had drilled Lamb through the
heart and he apparently died without a
struggle. According to police, the spot
where the body was found was'unfre
quented.
SUICIDE THEORY SCOUTED
Investigation late today had not yet
determined whether. Lamb had been
lured to the spot and slain, or his body
carried to the tracks for disposal after
he had been murdvred somewhere else.
The suicide theory was not given much
thought by officials, as no revolver was
found near the1 Bbdy.
Arrangements meanwhile were con-,
eluded, for the funeral of Hamon on
Monday afternoon. Scores of prominent
Republicans, including' Governor Frank
O. Ijowden of Illinois, will attend.
, His funeral service Monday will prob
ably surpass any similar ceremony in
Oklahoma's history.
Thousands of visitors and friends of
the dead man are expected to crowd
the little town of Ardmore to pay their
final respects to the oil magnate.
Search for Mrs. Clara Smith Hamon,
charged with shooting Hamon, was be
ing vigorously prosecuted today all over
the nation. , .
SAT SHE WAS SEE
Authori t1csffeciaircas they Were con
vinced the woman had fled ?9 California.
lie ports were freely circulated, however,
that she had not left Ardmore. Two
men notified county officials today that
they had seen the woman here. '
County Attorney Brown, who filed
charges of shooting with -intent to" kill
against Mrs.-Hamon on the face of the
victim's claim he accidentally shot him
self, announced today no further legal
action would be taken until after tbt
funeral. He Intimated an Inquest might
be ordered.' Brown said ' he was con
sidering changing the. charge against
the woman to murder.- ; " ,

Foreigners are doing most of the
bootlegging In all parts of th United
States, according to United States Mar
shal F. P. O'Conner of Madison, Wis.,
who brought a prisoner to Portland
from his state Saturday.
"In the East, as in the West' we
are troubled mainly with foreigners."
O'Conner' said. He characterized the
federal , court as resembling a justice
court some days when a long list of
bootleggers are brought before the bar.
"Our judges are tired of the petty
cases already." the . viaiUng- - narshal
said, "and are now. imposing heavy
sentences." --,
"O'Conner said the lowest fine in
his district now la $250, and the usual
fine is $000 and up. Recently a boot
legger, was fined $1500 and sent to the
house of correction for seven months,
he said, for - a petty liiiuor offense.
after he pleaded guilty. O'Conner said
the only way to stop bootlegging is to
imposo severe Jail sentences.' ' Fines
only act as license fees, he said. ' "
