HANGINGS DESCRIBED

scores of telegrams to and from wit
nesses respecting their attendance.
Many of them, former service men
telegraphed thai they were without
funds, and In these cases arrange
ments were made to provide the
transportation.
The names of witnesses summoned

and there was a shout of "hero-,"
from all parts of the room.
The statement of William Cowles.
of Al Inncapnlls. that the picture nl
(liovroH purporting to he of u goilows
was in reality that of a crane, was
presented.
Senator Watson asked for the
records in thu trial of tho eleven
Americans executed In accordance
with military law and was told that
l hey were ready for presentation to

trying to save myself from 'Hard

Keonts.
The witness said ho saw men taken
to the firing line without gas maski
or guns, as a form of punishment.
Pressed a.s to the cause of tho lynch

Questioned by Senator Watson, dem
ocrat, Georgia, w hose charges that
American soldiers were illegally exe
cuted in l-'rauco led to the inquiry.
Taylor, the Philadelphia witness, said
the evidence in tho court martial of
tho Detroit sergeant was given lii
Krench, hul an interpreter was in at
tendance. The crime was rape.
"Was tho man allowed counsel'.'"
Senator llrandi'goe asked.
"One American oll'icer was there.
He asked sune questions."
After the hanging Taylor said he
saw the man's heart and brain wore
removed "to see if he was era.y."
"Who diil thai'.'"
"A major in the American medical
corps."
"Know his name?"
"No."
"Was the Detroit sergeant allow

court'.'" Seiuitor Watson asked.
"No sir. lie wasn't asked to testify,

DIRECT TAX IS DEAD

Justified in passing. The psychology
of the two situations here n-.akea the
matter not :t question of an exposi
tion but a question of taxes. Most of
the counties of tin- state are feeling
like our p.-ople in .lackson county,
that wo have Just about reached the
limit of endurance in lax matters and
it is up to tile legislature to serve
definite and positive notice that a
'tax holiday' is tho next thing in
order.
"Various compromise plans are
being submitted such as financing the
fair by
1. Income tax.
2. nesoriing to the pole tax to
raise he funds needed.
II. Dipping into the funds raised
by gasoline tax.
4. Holding a much less preten
tious fair to be fnir.nced by private
subscriptions alone.
There are, of course, some advo
cates of tho direct tax plan and a
few who are opposed to the fair alto
gether, but mark my prediction,
either the Portland boys will find
some wa, some simple, expedient
w-ay, to finance this scheme other
lhar. by putting tho burden on the
taxpayers id' tho state, or tho legisla
ture will turn it down cold.

Mr. DeYalcra, addressing the Dail
at Hie outset, claimed there could bo
no question of ratification of tho
treaty by the Dail, which, he de
clared, could not ratify the pad in
tho sense of making it a legal instru
ment. All the Dail could do was to
approve or disapprove, he assorted.
The republican president said he
would later move "that inasmuch as
tile articles of agreement for thu
treaty between Great Hritain and Ire
land signed in London, do not recon
cile Irish national aspirations and
the association of Ireland with the
community of nations known as tho
Iiillish commonwealth and cannot
establish lasting peace between the
peoples ot the two islands, tho Dull
Kireann makes to the liritish the fol
lowing proposal."
.Mr. DeValera did not read the pro
positi, nor was it made public, but
copies, it was said, would be among
members when the motion was made.
Woman Opposes Pact.
Mis. Kate t I'f 'allaghan. the first
