tlso strongly supported the view that
the duty of the shipping, board is to look

conditionally, one fourth of the $15,000,
000 estate. Again, as detailea in an ar
ticle sent ; out by me Tuesday, she
spoke of her father and mother and of
her brother, Jimmy, who accompanied
us on our return to the states. She
reemphasized the fact that ehe was not
seeking her part in the Hamon wealth
for herself, but only for the protection
of her people.
And as the drab stretches of Northern
Mexico rolled backward, as we watched
through ' the car windows, she spoke
more fully of the man with whose mur
der she is charged. She talked of Jake
Hamon. the sweetheart Jake Hamon, the
hail-fellow-well-met Jak namon. the
politician Jake Hamort and of Jake Ha
mon, the ultra egotist.
GOT WHAT HE WANTED
"Eight years from now he expected
to be president . of the United States."
she said. "Perhaps he would have been.
I really believe he would have won. Be
cause he always won what he set out
to attain just as he won me.
"He got things like lie got me. That
first day in his office, he put his hands
under my arms saddenly and set me up
on the long legal table that stretched
across the room. He Was astonishingly
abrupt.
"'Clara, he said, I love you and I'm
going to have you. 'I'm going to have
you.' ' '
It is possible that behind the stage
upon which Jake Hamon performed his
political maneuvering, Clara Hamon
stood and pulled the strings.
BOUGHT HIS WAY
"I directed his political career, just
as I aided' him in his financial , ad
vance," she said. "I don't mean that I
approved of what he did. As a matter
of fact, much of his real political sue
cess was achieved because he violated
myx instructions because he. played
dirty, money pedtUing game.
"He-bought all he won in the . game of
politics. That Is an open secret.
'Ten years ago, at the time he set
me upon his office desk in Lawton
Okla., lie was a candidate for mayor.
You would have thought that then, was
the beginning of his political career, for
he was elected.
"But his start in politics actually did
not begin until a year ago last Novenv
ber, when he had money sufficient to
lay the. foundation for his successful
fight against McOraw for , the Republi
can national committee place. ; .
PtATtS TO GIVE HIM CP
"He asked me if he might go into
politics. At first, I told him I wished
he would not. I had known politics and
realized it was a dirty game. Finally,
l saia : . ,
" 'All right, if you believe you should
enter, go. But, remember, ultimately
you can t nave both politics and me.'
"He always looked across every ob
stacle to tne very end he had in mind
He answered. 'Of course, Clara, I can
have both. I'll put you in the White
House' and I'll make the whole world
like it.'
"But I knew that never could be, .so
I Insisted on arranging to make what Is
the supreme sacrifice to any woman
I told him I would give him up, him
him, whom . I loved better than all the
world. I would step aside : go to Eu
rope. But I demanded- of him. on the
basis of our comradeship and love, that
tie give me one promise.
THIN KS HE'S BIGGEST
" 'If you go Into the big game,' I said,'
'give me your word that you will play
it rair.
."And his answer was, 'Clara, I prom
ise mat
There was a mirthless sort of laugh
xrom the girl s lips.
"He violated that promise in every
way," she said. "He played the game
mean just plain mean.
"I could not go to EuroTM as I had
planned, because my mother became and
denly-111. That circumstance kept me
close to him during his political strug
gles. 'Clara,' he was accustomed to
telling me, 'Clara, I'm the biggest man
in the country, don't "you believe?'
When I failed to agree, he would fly
into a frightful rage.
Clara, again he would ask. 'don't
you think I'm a bigger man than Wil
son don't you believe I look more im
portant than he does?" .
BELIEVED IN HIMSELF
"And he would present himself before
the mirror and gesticulate magnifi
cently. "
He believed In himself. Jake Hamon
did, and because he was always so cer
tain or accomplishing his ends, he iust
stepped ahead and won.
WAITS IOB HER PBAISE
'Clara, I'm going to be the bireest
man in the United States,' he boasted.
You wait and see. Why, when Harding
comes to Oklahoma City I'm going to
have there 10,000 men marching with
torches.
'It will be. Jake Hamon and not
Harding who will become big through
that meeting. You wait and see."
"The Harding meeting came.
"I sat in a seat close to tha front, an
that I could Bee and compare Harding
ana mis -Dig man or mine.
"Mr. Hamon had no opportunitv to
meet me after the meeting. He was so
mportant he was going on East with
the nominee. But when he got to New
York he wired me to rush there rruicklv.
The plain fact was that he couldn't wait
to hear me say he looked grander on
the stage than- Mr. . Harding.'
HE HATES HIMSELF
"In New York he seized me hy the
shoulders and shouted out this greeting:
" 'Clara, wasn't it grand? Didn't I look
like,! more powerful man than Harding?
wasn t x me real nit or that meeting.'
"I suggested that, possibly, the old
woman who had made a brief Intro
ductory speech was the real feature of
me occasion.
"-iMo, out me,' he shouted. "Wasn't I
the biggest man in that audience you
rver saw i .
"He got Kfore the mirror in the room
"Don't you think. Clara, that I look
like the typa of man physically we'll
say, who ought to be a president?' . '
"And the vanity of him burst out in
anomer direction.
" 'Come,' he declared, 'we will hurry
down and get one of those open carriages
with the driver way up in front. I think
it wise for me to be seen in that sort
of vehicle riding aIon Fifth avenue'."
LIKED HIMSELF BEST
Jake Hamon was a faithful friend only

When he wanted to win over any
body of men to his own cause. h nsi
o invite Uiera to his room, and seek to
get mem drunk. Often he would tell
me of his schemes in advance and order
me to be present and pass around the
wmsatey.
"Oh, so jovial he was during the
party. "He would take the glass I had
only partly filled for him and thus re
main mostly sober while he gloated as

Of War, Marriage
'r IHH..-II.SHH .- -? .
Athens, Dec 23. (U. P.) War fcnd
wedding were topics of court gossip here
today.
King Constantine is planning on going
to the Smyrna front as soon as he has
caught up with a mass of detail on his
desk here. He planned to take with
him Premier Khaliis and .the secretary
of war. Constastlne's intention, he said,
is to cling to the territory gained by
Greece during the great war and to makt
a personal appeal to his troops to con
tinue occupation.
Preliminary arrangements were made
today for the court wedding of Princess
Helene of Greece to Crown Prince Card
of Koumania. This' wedding will be held
at Bucharest.
, Another marriage between the two
houses will be that of Crown Prince
George of Greece tc Princess Klisa
beth of Roumanla in January at Athens.
Constantine expresses himself as
pleased with the forthcoming alliances
and speaks of the marriages a real
love matches.
