DRAWN,IN LONG CASE
WASHINGTON, May 5.—A report
on whether petitions seeking the oust-
er of Senator Huey P. Long, demo-
crat, Louisiana, are privileged for
publication and receivable by the
senate has been prepared by Chair-
man King of the senate committee
looking into those questions.
He declined today to intimate its

ODE TO A NAG
Oh, horse, you are a wondrous
thing, no horns to honk, no bells to
ring, no license buying every year
with plates to stick on fronf and rear.
No sparks to miss, no gears to slip;
you start yourself, no clutch to slip.
No gas bills mounting every day to
steal the joy of life amay.
Your inner tubes are all o. k. and
thank the Lord they stay that way.
Your spark plugs never miss and
ifulss, your motor never makes us
cuss. Your frame is good for many
a mile, your body never changes style.
Your wants are few and easy met,
you have something on the auto yet

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 6.—The
Ku Klux Klan has been revived, one
of its officers said tonight, to wage
war on Communism in the South.
Combating radicalism in Alabama,
Mississippi and Georgia is the pri-
mary object of the reorganized Klan,
said J. G. Bowen, secretary of Robert
E. Lee, Klan No. 1.
He declared that the organization
has its own system of espionage,
which keeps radical agitators under
sux*veillance.
“We know when they are going to
meet, where they are most active and
who the speakers at the meetings
will be,” he said.
“The klan is waging no war on
negroes, but we are against social
equality and that is what the Com-
munists are preaching. We are try-
ing to educate negroes to the dan-
gers of listening to agitators who
are preaching doctrines that can only
lead to trouble.”
The regalia and insignia of the
klan today is same as in reconstruc-
tion days, and is the modern klan
which a few year ago was resurrect-
ed and took active political sides.
National headquarters still remain
in Atlanta, Ga., and the membership
and roll of active klans extends
throughout the South, Bowen said,
“with the greatest strength in Flor-
ida.”
10-YEAR-OLD BOY HERO AS
CHILD IS SAVED FROM
FALL FROM 3RD FLOOR
HOUSTON, May 6.—A 10-year-old
boy who modestly faded out of the
picture before his identity could be
learned, was the hero of a near-
tragedy at a local school.
The children were staging their
May fete when one of the parents
noticed a 2-year-old child who had
been left on the third boor of the
school building, climbing through a
window onto a ledge outside.
A woman’s scream focused the at-
tention of more than 100 adults onto
the child’s plight and they all waited
in horror for the plunge which seem-
ed certain.
A boy, sitting on the fire escape in
front of another window on the third
floor saw the child’s plight and went
into action. He kicked the window
pane in with his foot and ran through
a couple of rooms to the window.
He grasped the baby and carried
her downstairs to her mother and
then disappeared before his identity
could be learned.
PORTLAND, ORE., HAS
2,000 CITY FARMERS
As he showed detectives how he
planned and carried out the abduc-
tion of the child, other officers at the
Barnstable county jail guarded close-
ly $60,000 in ransom money recover-
ed from Buck’s- home, and prosecut-
ing officials prepared to bring the
two into court tomorx’ow. v
Faces Kidnaping Charge.
Kenneth will face a chax-ge of kid-
naping and his brother, confessed go-
between in the negotiations that led
up to the payment of the ransom and
the subsequent recovery Friday of
the child kidnaped three days before,
will answer to a charge of extortion.
They will’ be arraigned in a district
coux*t tomorrow at Pi'ovincetown.
While former neighbors walked
sunny country lanes on their way to
chux’ch services today, Kenneth, an
unemployed chauffeur, was taken from
the county jail in Barns stable where
he and Cyril spent the night, and
with the officers went over the route
he followed from the time he set out
last Tuesday for the school from
which he lured the child until he x*e-
turned her to her father early Fri
day morning.
Shows Police Shack.
As Kenneth showed police the cran-
berry shack and the vacant house in
which he held the child captive, 10
year old Peggy was enjoying a re
union with her parents and her bro-
ther, Francis, 7. She played in the
spacious yard of the McMath home
while, a few yards off shore on Wych-
mere sound, lay the yacht “Bob” on
board which her father paid the kid-
napers the ransom money.
The cavalcade went to the school
from which Peggy was kidnaped.
The route took them to within 30 feet
of a little white cottage, Kenneth’s
home, where he was an-ested and
where $60,000 ransom money was
found.
Stop At School.
At the school, Buck and officers
went into a conference. It was there
that Kenneth, police claim he con-
fessed, went with his face blackened
and kidnaped Peggy after telephon-
ing the school he was Peggy’s fa-
ther, Neil C. McMath, and that he
was sending a man after her in an
automobile.
The party then moved on to the
cx-anberry shack on the edge of the
town’s golf course. The shack has
two doors and two smali windows in
the back. At one time it was a bath
house, but was moved up to the side
of the cranberry bog.
Points Out Course He Took.
The detectives inspected the house
and then took Buck in. Detective
Joseph Ferrari found a torn pair of
men’s trousers.
‘What’s this, Buck?” Farrari ask-
ed.
“I put that under her head when
I brought her here,” the prisoner an-
swered.
Buck pointed out toward the field
in back of the shack when asked the
course he took to the vacant house
to which Peggy was tx-ansferred. The
pax’ty then walked through the field
cx'ossed a brook, over which Buck ex
plained he cax-ried Peggy, and along a
road through the woods to Miles
street.
Both Kenneth and Cyril live on
Miles street and the vacant house in
which Peggy was held from midnight
Tuesday until after midnight Friday
morning was almost directly across
the street from Kenneth’s mother's
house, where Kenneth lived.
BAND CONTESTS HELD
AT SIMMONS UNIVERSITY
ABILENE, Texas, May 7.—Abi-
lene, Colorado and Wink shared high-
est honors in the fifth annual West
Texas high school band contest held
at Simmons University Saturday.
These high schools were declared
winners in Classes A, B and C re-
spectively, and Abilene’s elementary
school band won the Class D contest.
Breckenridge, Midland and Fort
Stockton placed second in their divi-
sions, receiving loving cups along
with the first place winners. Medals
were given twenty-seven, wiixners of
solo contests. Abilene, Wink, Albany
and Monahans students scored heavi-
ly in these. Other bands entered were
Albany, Levelland, Monahans, Wink
grammar school and Lampasas.
N. J. Whitehurst of Huntsville, Wil-
fred Wilson of Fort Worth and John
Victor of Abilene judged the contest.
D. O. Wiley, Cowboy band conductor,
was in charge.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 6.—Port
land boasts an army of about 2,000
city “farmers” who are working on
“ranches” box*rowed from the city to
raise needed vegetables and garden
truck.
Instead of permitting city owned
lots to grow to weeds, permits have
been issued to amateur gardeners for
cultivating the vacant property.
Last summer many unemployed
raised their winter’s supply of vege
tables and realized a small amount
of money in marketing their surplus
to neighbors.
FEAR LINDBERGH KIDNAPING
GROUP IS HOLDING GIRL
HARWICH, Mass., May 4.—Detec-
tives feared Thursday night that lit-
tle Peggy McMath right be in the
hands of the kidnapers of Baby Lind-
bergh, whose mutiliated body was
found on a Jersey hillside a year ago
next week.
More than two full days after the
pretty 10-year-old heiress to fortunes
was lured from the village school,
heartbroken but still hopeful parents
remained without a word of her fate.
At night William Lee, spokesman
for the McMath family, volunteered
to become a hostage in the hands of
the kidnapers for twenty-four hours
to give them complete ransom nego-
tiations and escape.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
LOUISIANA UNDER FIRE
NEW ORLEANS, May 6.—The
New Ox-leans States said in its early
Sunday editions today that Attox-ney
General Gaston L. Porterie “has been
recommended for expulsion from the
Louisiana state bar association by
the committee of ethics of that or
ganization.”
The newspaper said the committee
recommendation was based on “his
action in refusing to allow district
attorney Eugene Stanley of New Or-
leans to investigate glaring vote
frauds perpetrated in the November
election on constitutional amend-
ments.”
TEACHING THEM TO DRINK
DEMOCRATS PROTEST
DEBT COMPROMISE
DALLAS, Texas.—Every minister,
priest, rabbi, layman and laywoman
and evex-y college president and ev-
ex-y Sunday school and day school
superintendent and teacher should
read and re-read an article written
by a brewer and published in an East-
ex-n magazine. The article is a di-
rect challenge hurled into the very
teeth of our chux-ches, schools and
colleges. Yes, it is a direct challenge
to instant and intense action on the
part of prohibitionists.
Before giving extracts fx-om this
amazing and defiant statement, let
me remind the reader that practically
evex-y wet, wet newspaper and wet
repox-ter in the whole country have
repeatedly stated that our boys and
gix-ls wex-e being ruined by drinking
home brew and bootleg whisky. They
have stressed this claim more than
any other of their wild and foolish
arguments. Now the writer of this
brewery article positively denies any
such propaganda as got out by his
own crowd, and even stresses the
fact that an educational campaign to
teach boys and girls how to drink
beer is very essential, and that this
educational campaign should be car-
ried on or conducted in the high
schools of the country.
Following are some of the state-
ments which I want every father and
mothex-, especially the fathers and
mothers who are fighting for repeal
of the National and State prohibi-
tion laws, to take special notice of.
This brewer said (I quote): “What
is the first step the brewers should
take to teach drinking among the
youth of the country ? That first
step should be an educational cam-
paign, and the one and best field ip
which this campaign can be conduct-
ed is the schools and colleges of the
country.” In another statement of
this amazing ax-ticle, the writer posi-
tively contradicts the most persistent
of all the wet propaganda, which was
that boys and girls were learning
to drink, and were dx-inking to their
ruin under prohibition.
Now listen to this, another quota-
tion from his article; He said (I
quote): “Not one-tenth of one per
cent of the youth in our schools and
colleges know how to drink beer,
hence the absolute necessity and ur-
gent need to teach the youth how tc
.rink.”
This brewer vix-tually admits that
ecause of the Eighteenth amendment,
millions of young people who used to
-e raw material for the saloons, and
will still be if they are allowed to
eturn, know absolutely nothing about
;he effects of beer and the damning
nfluence of the saloon. And yet our
senators and representatives in Wash-
ington City and the wet dailies, mag-
azines and repox-ters of the East
would for the sake of so-called per-
sonal liberty and a few pieces of sil-
ver, in so-called National revemxe,
play right into the hands of this writ-
er and others of his kind, and forever
fasten the saloon with its old-time
horrors upon the public.

mocked; for whatsoever ye soweth,
that also shall ye reap.”—D. H. Han-
cock, 133 East Tenth Street.
WASHINGTON, May 7.—Demo-
cratic congressional leaders Satur-
day agreed to join in warning Presi-
dent Roosevelt that any attempt on
the part of the administration to se-
cure congressional authorization for
compromise of the war debts would
result in “political suicide.”
This decision, it was learned, was
reached at a series of conferences be-
tween administration spokesmen in
house and senate.
Survey Conducted.
The party chieftains were disturbed
by information Mr. Roosevelt would
seek' passage of a special resolution
giving him power to postpone or com;
promise the debts.

If it’s true that President Roosevelt

is that it doesn’t get brain fever.

sentiment revealed that a majority of
both chambers were unalterably op-
posed to such a course. Feeling that
a x-epudiation of an administration
measure at the present time would be
disastrous, it was agreed to make the
strongest representations to the pres-
ident personally.
According to the agreement reach-
ed Saturday, Speaker of the House
Henry T. Rainey, Majority Leader
Joseph Byrns and Chairman Edward
Pou of the rules committee will seek
a conference with Mr. Roosevelt on
the debt question. It is possible Vice
President John N. Garner and other
house and senate leaders might be
included in the protest party. Lead-
ers recalled Satux-day that both house
and senate were emphatically on x*ec-
oi’d against any change in the status
of the huge obligations owed the Uni-
ted States by foreign nations..
EX-SENATOR REED
OFFERS TO DEFEND
DENVER GOLD HOLDER
DENVER, May 6.—If the govern-
ment takes up the challenge of
Charles S. Thomas, 84-year-old for-
mer Colorado governor and United
States senator*, and tries to dispossess
him of $120 in gold, former Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri may act
as the Denver man’s legal second.
Reed Friday night telegraphed the
veteran Western lawyer and noted
bi-metallist of his willingness to aid
in court. Reed’s telegx*am stated:
“I admire you for your challenge.
I am volunteering now to defend you
if you want me. It is high time to
find whether we have a constitution
or a scrap of paper. Congratula-
tions.”
Thomas last week notified United
States district attorney Ralph Carr
at Denver he purposely had acquired
the gold—$20 more than an individual
may retain under President Roose-
velt’s recent order.
Stating he thought the government
had no legal right to make a citizen
give up gold, Thomas added: “I have
qualified for the penitentiary and am
at Your disposal.”
Learning Washington authorities
had shown an inclination to ignore
his $120 "hoard” Thomas declared it
would be “undignified for the govern-
ment to back down now.”
He said the principle involved was
the same whether the person insisted
on keeping a large or small amount.

OIL
LINE BLASTS
KILGORE, May 7.—Texas rangers
and county officers Saturday were
investigating four blasts in the East
Texas oil field earlier in the day.
Four pipelines were wrecked and
thousands of barrels of oil were lost
as dynamiters renewed their activi-
ties in the field.
Captain E. N. Stanley, in charge
of the railroad commission offices in
Kilgox*e, declared authorities would
make every effox*t to apprehend those
responsible for the blasts.
The first explosion severed the Tex-
as Emph*e line at Camp Switch, the
break causing the loss of 2,000 bar-
rels of oil.
Three other explosions broke the
Danciger Oil Refining company’s ga-
thering line near Longview, the Tytex
Pipeline company’s four-inch line in
the Hooper sux*vey and the Shell Pe-
troleum company’s four-inch line in
the Castleberry survey.
The Danciger and Tytex lines lost
approximately 4,000 barx*els of oil as
a result of the blasts.
3.2 BEER BLAMED FOR
URBAN CRIME INCREASE
CHICAGO, May 7.—The charge
that 3.2 per cent beer has caused a
sharp increase in crime, motor fatali-
ties and drunkenness over the coun-
try was made Saturday by the Amer-
ican Business Men’s Prohibition foun-
dation.
“Official figures for motor fatali-
ties for a portion of Apx*il show em-
phatic gains in a scox*e of cities, in-
cluding Chicago, Pittsburgh, San
Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Los An-
geles, Peoria, Syracuse, Buffalo and
Akron,” the statement said.
WOMAN
BILLED IN
FARM
KILLING
LAGRANGE, May 6.—The Fayette
County grand jury today indicted
Mrs. Marie Dach on three counts for
the slaying of Henry Stoever.
The first count set forth that she
did “voluntax*ily and with malice
aforethought kill Henry Stoever by
shooting with a gun on or about
February 24.” The other counts were
the same except that they ended with
“bux’ning him to death” and “by
shooting him with a gun and burn-
ing him to death.”
Mrs. Dach was arrested a month
ago and held in the county jail. A
short time later she began to refuse
food but broke her fast after 13 days
FACTORY WHISTLES BLOWING
CHICAGO, May 7.—Factory whis-
tles Saturday were playing a tune of
good times, the railroads finding busi-
ness where none had been for months,
farm prices swelling and employment
increasing. There were prediction
from everywhere that “we’re on the
way.” Some of the increase was
seasonal, but far from all of it.
From the great steel centers of
Youngstown, Buffalo, Pittsburgh,
Gary and Cleveland there were re-
ports of increased operations, orders
piling up.
The mills were turning out thx*ee
times as much steel as a few months
ago, with predictions that operations
in the Youngtown area would reach
41 per cent of capacity next week.
The reason: Demand for finished steel
at newly humming factories.
Railroad car loadings, another sel-
dom failing business indication, took
the shax-pest jump of the year during
the week of Apx’il 29, the American
x*ailway associatioxx reported.
LINDEN, Texas, May 6.—Convict-
ed of murder for the slaying of Ber-
aice Clayton, 3-year-old invalid, Paul
Oakley, 20, self-styled faith healer,
Saturday was sentenced to fifty
years’ impx’isonment.
The child died at her remote East
Texas home after Oakley prayed and
sang for five days last December in
an effort to rid her of what he term-
ed a devil. Bex*nice had been inflict-
ed with infantile paralysis for sev-
ex*al months.
Oakley said when he placed his
hands on her throat a devil told him
to choke her. In the room with him
were Coy Oakley, his bx’other, and
Sherman Clayton, the girl’s father.
Mrs. Clayton, in a deposition intro-
duced by the defense in rebuttal at
the trial, said she was in the kitchen
and was not informed of her daugh-
tex*’s death for sevex’al hours. Ber-
nice was represented to her as “be-
ing under the power.”
Jury Out Seven Hours.
The jux*y, composed of eleven piney
woods farmex's and a railroad F?n—
nine of them church members—-reach-
ed its verdict after seven hours' ae-
iiberation.

FROM “TREE ARMY’
NEWARK, N. J., May 6.—As the
culmination of a “strike” in the Camp
Dix mess hall, 45 Newark youths who
were in the civilian conservation corps
were back at their homes Saturday.
Summarily discharged Friday by
Brig. Gen. H. L. Laubach, command-
ing officer at the camp, the men were
sent home aboard a special train.
Upon arrival here, they complained
of maltreatment at the hands of army
officers at the camp and! poor, food
and declared they could not work be-
cause they wex*e “being starved.”
Officers said the tx*ouble had been
brewing several Jdays. They became
suspicious, they; said, when some of
the men received money orders from
outside. On one day, one company
commander said, 21 money orders
came to men in his company and of-
ficials were “convinced” the agitation
came from outside sources.
GIRL, 10, ADMITS SHE

WOMAN, 89, DANCES
BUCK AND WING IN RAIN
CHAMPOEG, Ore., May 7.—Mrs.
Graham Howard, 89, who crossed the
plains in an ox team, can’t be both-
ered by any little thing like a rain-
stox*m when she wants to dance.
At the annual Founders' Day cele-
bration at this historic Oregon shrine
she tossed her coat aside in the open
air auditorium and showed the sons
and daughters of Oregon pioneers
how the buck and wing should be
executed.
Rain, turning to hail and dx*iven
by a stiff wind, couldn’t stop her as

sers,” on his old fiddle.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.—Police
said 10-year-old Geraldine Planchon
confessed she and two other “little
girls” left a $10,000 extortion note
at the home of Bernard Jensen, a
janitor, threatening kidnaping of his
4-year-old son.
The girl was quoted as saying she
wrote the note because “Bernie” the
Jensen child, “had a fight with my
little brother.”
