Sawyer said he then reported to the president that "valuable material needed by government hospitals was being disposed of at a great loss." "The president directed me to stop the sales until his executive order for a distribution of supplies to the public health service was carried out," said Sawyer. "After Colonel Forbes signed a written agreement to this effect, I dropped the Perryville matter. "Three weeks later I was informed shipments were being made again to the Boston concern. I so informed the president and he immediately ordered them discontinued. In spite of the president's direct order, three or four cars were shipped in the several days following. As a result of this insubordination Colonel Forbes was asked to resign." Sawyer stated it was his opinion that the Thompson and Kelly Co., drove a "sharp bargain" and that it "found an easy mark in government officials." He said the veterans' bureau executive had "exercised very poor judgment" in the transaction. Before Sawyer took the stand, Commander Charles R. O'Leary, U. S. N., cleared the name of President Harding from all responsibility for the Perryville transaction. "Was it your intention in your statutory yesterday to transfer responsibility for this transaction to the president?" "Not in the slightest way," replied O'Leary. "I knew the president for many years and I would not want the committee to feel I was attempting to impose any responsibility on the president." (Continued on page 9) HAVE YOU A KODAR?

The officers were on the look-out for "hobos", but the train was going too fast to investigate the boxcar from which the shot evidently was fired.

IN BVIORCE HEARING Accused of "Trying To Destroy Mother of His Two Children" NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Taking of testimony in the famous Stokes divorce trial ended shortly after noon today. Samuel D. Untermyer, chief counsel for Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes, who is being sued for divorce by her wealthy 73-year-old husband, W. E. D. Stokes, immediately began his closing arguments to the jury. Untermyer made a stirring plea for "justice". He repeatedly referred to the double standard. "The man in a case of this kind is never punished," he declared. "The woman, her honor impugned, her name gone, must pay the penalty to society." There has been a trail of perjury thru all of this case. The majority of witnesses presented against Mrs. Stokes perjured themselves. Untermyer declared the "perjured" testimony was "an outrage on justice" the worst in the history of an American court." "This is not a case of mistaken identity," Untermyer said, "it is a plain case of perjury. "When this man Stokes closed his shaky case we might have closed too and shown the jury the rottenness behind it to keep this good woman's name unsolled. "The two children in this case are not said to be illegitimate but there is more to the case than that. There were 16 men named —charges that the wife had spent almost every day of her married life with men other than her husband." Untermyer then made a bitter attack on Stokes. "Think of the father who would charge that," he said. "Think, if you decided against this woman, what could she tell her children of their father?" Untermyer laid the alleged perjured testimony directly to the aged millionaire husband. Mrs. Arthur Scott Miller, Mrs. Stokes mother, was crying Stokes twirled his gray moustache and looked neither at Untermyer nor the jury.

Nugent, Stokes' attorneys, to Chicago detectives, who were trying to connect the aged millionaire's wife with Chicago night life. These letters were the basis of indictments in the Illinois city against Daniel Nugent, Stokes and five negroes on charges of conspiracy to defame Mrs. Stokes. They touched on Stokes' charges that his wife, before her marriage, was an inmate of the notorious Everleigh club of Chicago.
