GOVERNOR’S AID ADMITS WOMAN BOSSESOFFICE Wept When Oklahoma Chief Was Suspended, Says Johnston Secretary BY DON A. HIGGINS. L'nitcd Pres* Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY. Jan. 25.Oklahoma’s statehouse inquiry arrowed today to an investigation of the administrations of Henry S. Johnston, impeached Governor, end his two chief advisors. Johnston, against whom an eight impeachment article was voted Thursday by the house of representatives, Mrs. O. O. “Mamie” Hammonds. his confidential secretary, and Judge James R. Armstrong, uncle of Mrs. Hammonds, and legal advisor of the Governor, were the object of the investigation of five house committees and a senate committee. The testimony of H. E. Sullivan, the Governor’s official secretary, answered certain questions in the house inquiry only when threatened with jail committment. Dominated Office Sullivan testified that Mrs. Hammond dominated the Governor’s office, asserting “she’s very officious.” Mrs. Hammonds frequently told him, he said, that without her the “administration would be lost,” Mrs. Hammonds wept through a thirty-minute conversation with him when she learned the senate had suspended the Governor, Sullivan said. He said Judge Armstrong asserted a strong influence over the Governor. On one occasion, he said, he took a legislative bill from the Governor to Judge Armstrong for opinion. “The judge was in bed and he read the bill only after lighting five or siv incense burners, rubbing his nose, humming and rocking in a rocking chair in a bedroom colored yellow with oriental splendor.” The witness admitted the judge’s actions suggested a ritual or some mystic ceremony. Armstrong Is Witness Judge Armstrong himself testified before a senate committee investigating rumors that money and political favors halted the impeachment session against Johnston a year ago. Armstrong said that C. S. Beekman, highway contractor, donated si.ooo in the administration’s legal fight to disband the special impeachment session. Newton Graham, Tulsa banker, denied that he had brought $25,000 in “a little black bag” from John McGraw, Tulsa banker, to use in the special session.

DRAFTS COURT BILL Judges Win Change in Plan to Lighten Labors. Withdrawal of the bill providing for three more appellate judges and substitution of a bill providing for appointment of three commissioners to work over cases assigned them by the supreme court and draw up decisions to be passed upon by the court, is planned by State Representative Robert B. Stewart. This was decided upon following the meeting of the house committee on organization of courts Thursday when both supreme and appellate court judges appeared and opposed the addition of three judges. The necessary step to aid the higher judges, is legislation to stop lootlegging appeal cases from flooding the court, the jurists agreed. The judges recommended repeal of the law permitting a person under penitentiary sentence to be free on bond while an appeal is pending.

G. 0. P. EDITORS OF STATE HOLD GRIDIRONJIINNER Razz Officialdom, Also Own Members at Annual Banquet. Republican editors of the state laid aside panning the opposition to hold up prominent members of their own estate to hilarious criticism at the annual gridiron dinner of the Indiana Editorial Association at the Columbia Club, Tuesday night. Prominent state officials, including Governor Harry G. Leslie, were not spared the glare of “The Last Page Edition,” official organ of the organization, which was edited during the dinner. Governor Leslie was given a large cake of soap in the shape of an elephant, reminded of his campaign promises and told by Herbert C. Willis (Waterloo Press) in behalf of the association to “go to it.” Dinner courses smacked of “razzberry” flavor as they were interrupted by the clicking of a telegraph key, and a “bulletin” was read by Editor Earl Coble of Red Key, publisher of a group of newspapers and chief examiner of the state securities commission. Asa Smith, attorney, replaced President Coolidge on the program by arising and saying almost nothing at all, scored hits as utility man for Senator James Watson and others not able to attend, and gave an imitation of Senator Arthur Robinson. Postmaster General Harry S. New was unable to be present, but Smith got across his general delivery satisfactorily. Elza O. Rogers of Lebanon, state chairman of the Republican organization, presided. Three cups were presented as awards for various achievements. The Newcastle Courier was awarded the George D. Lindsay cup for having the best front page of a daily newspaper published by a member of the association in 1928. The Goshen News-Times, the Rushville Daily Republican and Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel were given honorable mention. The Delphi Journal received first place for the best editorial page of weekly papers. The Versailles Republican won the Schortemeier cup for the best first page of a weekly newspaper. Among the speakers of the eve-

COURT MUST DECIDE WORTH OF DOG’S VOICE “Singing” Animal Is Killed And Owner Is Sued. BUDAPEST, Jan. 25—The Hungarian supreme court will soon have to decide how much the voice of a dog is worth.
