MOB ATTEMPTS TO KIDNAP GIRL WITNESS ATMER ROUGE

POLITICS FLAKS PART II SCHOOL BOARHLECTION Mayoralty Ambitions Blamed for Split Between Barry and Emhardt. Rival mayoralty ambitions of Adolph Emhardt and Charles I*. Barry were the rocks on which the school board Bhlp of state was wrecked during- the past year, according to persons In close touch with school affairs today. That is the real reason, they say, that Charles L. Barry, president of the board, will be relegated far to the rear tonight, when the annual election of officers will be held. In the campaign of 1921, Barry, Emhardt and Dr. Marie Haalep were backed by the same interests and were on the same slate. They were elected. The three controlled all board action. W. D. Allison, a holdover member, took no part In factional differences. Bert S. Gadd. sole survivor of the old majority faction, was an and little attention was paid to him by fellow board members during the early part of 1922. Into Politics Barry was elected president of, the board and Emhardt given the chairmanship of the important committee on buildings and grounds. Dr. Haslep, who always has been an ardent supporter of measures favored by Emhardt, was made chairman of the instruction committee. Barry and Emhardt both are Democrats. Shortly before the primary election in May, rumors began that the two school commissioners were prospective candidates for the Democratic mayoralty nomination. In this connection Emhardt's enemies said that he was making use of the forces of the buildings and grounds committee in an effort to put Joseph Manning across for the Demoratic county chairmanship. Manning was decisively defeated by Russel J. Ryan, at the election held at the Democratic Club. From that time worth, the gap between Barry on the one hand and Emhardt and Dr. Haslep widened. Emhardt Favored Finally Emhardt and Dr. Haslep went over to Gadd in a body and from that time on the three have dictated school affairs, while Barry, although president, has been outvoted on ail Important matters. Indications are that either Gadd or Emhardt will be elected president of the school board tonight, and Dr. Haslep vice president. One thing is certain, whatever happens will be dictated by the three.

CURB SIGNALS 10 CARS, Mil Letter to Todd Follows Complaint of Injured Man. On recommendation of Mayor Shank a letter will be written to Robert I. Todd, president of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, by the board of public safety, requesting motormen employed by the car company to stop at street intesections on signal of pedestrians waiting on the curb. The decision followed the reading of a letter from J. A. Hogan, 233 Parkway Ave., making a plea for safety zones along E. Washington St. Hogan was injured when struck by an automobile Sunday, while alighting from an E. Washington car at Parkview Ave. The mayor declared that pedestrians should not leave the sidewalk while waiting for a car where there is no marked safety zone, but should wait until the street car had reached the corner. A signal could be given the motorman from the curb, and the pedestrain could wait until the street car has stopped before attempting to cross the street, the mayor said. In this way no accidents would be caused by pedestrians walking out and being struck by a machine passing the street car while it was still in motion. * TAUNTS OF BOYS BRING TROUBLE WITH CARMEN 1H feeling between street car employes and high school boys has resulted from the hoys' practice of sitting on fences and making faces at motormen and conductors, according to testimony in city court today in the case of Clarence Larimore, 28, of 47 S. Rural St., a motorman. Last Friday night Larimore was alleged to have got off his car at the Belt railroad and Morris St. and to have struck Melvin French, 14, of 1446 Silver Ave., a high school pupil. Roy Craig, 1422 Silver Ave., high school pupil, and Walton Wade, a weiner boxer at the Indianapolis Abattoir and a night school pupil, were with French. The boys charged that Larimore drew a gun on them, hut search of the car on his next trip failed to disclose one. Larimore claimed he thought he was being held up. He was arrested by Officer Moorman. The case was taken under advisement until Feb. 1 by Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth. NOON CHURCH FEDERATION MEETINGS IN SECOND WEEK The second week of the noon m/sfings at B. F.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Citizens of Parish Are Stunned by Facts Brought Out by State at Hearings in Murder Trials. By United Press COURTHOUSE, Bastrop, La., Jan, 9. —Morehouse parish was alive with disquieting rumors aud reports as the open hearing into the murders of Watt Daniel and Thomas Richards was resumed. Guards were placed about the house of Miss Addie May Hamilton, 19, who was kidnaped by a hooded mob and sent out of the State last summer. Department of justice agents during the night received an anonymous telephone message that the girl was to be kidnaped during the night. Five men in an automobile called at

the girl's home but were frightened away by the civilian guard. Some authorities labeled the gesture as a “hoax." The girl in an Interview said she had recognized Dr. B. M. McKoin, former mayor of Mer Rouge, charged with being an accessory to the Dan-iel-Richards murders, as one of the mob who kidnaped her. PARISH HELD IN CRIP OF PHANTOM FEAR By United News BASTROP, La., Jan. 9.—With the blood of Its citizens frozen in their veins since the baring of the fiendish tortures accompanying the ritual mur. ders of Watt Daniel and Thomas F. Richards, enemies of the hooded terrorists, Morehouse parish during the last two days has been able to reconstruct the story of its reign of terror In almost complete form for the first time. If Department of Justice agents, loaned by the Fedeal Government, and the State operatives with whom they are working, know the secret of the engine of terror, they are guarding the secret well. The question: "What was it?" Is on every tongue, and thus far but two Inadequate conjectures have been advanced —that it was the press of a cotton gin or a hay blow. But the machine of torture, the pathologists testified, was a scentifically constructed machine which enabled the torturers to make three compound fractures at regularly spaced Intervals on each major bone. Coming in threads from out or the highways and byways of the sparsely settled parish, the story of what led up to the kidnaplngs and subsequent murders has been pieced together mere authoritatively Towns Are.

of Booth Tarklngton’s famous character. With only six lawyers In the Senate, indications are that business can be transacted more rapidly. The rumor that Senator Swain of Pendleton does not want the new reformatory, located at that place, completed. has been denied. There arc indications that the Legislature will go to Anderson as guests of that city at a banquet. No legislator was ever known to turn down a free trip or a free meal. The Lieutenant Governor had to name some Democrats on the congressional reapportionment committee because there were no Rep übllcans from some of the districts. He admitted the duty was painful.

SENATE BLOCKS FIIANCEREPORT A demand on the part of Senator Joseph M. Cravens, Democratic floor leader in the Senate, that the Auditor of State and the State Treasurer give to the Legislature a detailed account of revenues expected and the money on deposit by the State and where it was deposited, was sidetracked today when a resolution voicing the demand was referred to committee. A roll call on tho resolution was blocked by a motion of Senator Nejdl, Republican leader, that the resolution be referred to the committee on Judiciary A. “This is not a political preposition, but a pure business question,” said Senator Cravens, in demanding a roll call on the resolution. “Wc are asked to appropriate $2,000,000 for anew State prison, and it has been currently reported in newspapers and around the Statehouse that the State is In debt to the extent of $1,500,000. We must possess the facts and be informed of the financial condition of our State treasury before we can act wisely in the present session of the Legislature.”

an early rising cow boy with a fog horn voice broke loose in a wild hurrah for Governor Walton and his six gun barked an echo. Sleepy visitors who had packed four-deep in nearby hotels and rooming huses took up the cheer with wild yells and bedlam prevailed. Dressed in boots, boots and hickory shirts, bandanna handkerchiefs and “ten-gallon hats,” the boys poured into the streets a few minutes later and from then on there was a constant procession. Pinto ponies were untethered from allies from the rear of fashionable hotels and with,, a dig of spurs, the cow punchers> sent them galloping through the streets while the riders shouted madly.

from a Mer Rouge barbecue and baseball game, rivalry which amounted feudal proportions existed between the two villages. Inception of this feud dates back to several years ago, when Bastrop was successful in securing the location of the Parish capltol and the Parish courthouse. This rankled deep in the breasts of the people of Mer Rouge, eight miles distant. Politically, to some extent, religiously, and otherwise, the two villages had already been opposed to each other. Mer Rouge charged that Bastrop was provincial and narrow in Its views, both socially and religiously, and it was asserted that the Bastropites tried to inflict their mode of life not only on Mer Rouge, but on other villages. Bastropites retaliated with charges that Mer Rouge was lawless: that Its people wero bootleggers and freely consorted with negro women. Came the election of Dr. B. M. McKoin as mayor of Mer Rouge on a reform ticket. He immediately attempted to sweep the little town clean vice and Bastrop applauded exultantly. McKoin was defeated for re-elec-tlon. but he continued his tirades. The Ku Klux Klan Invaded the Parish about a year ago. Its organizers little headway In Mer Rouge, but a large membership was rolled up in Bastrop. Terrorism Follow’ Terrorism followed. Hooded bands instituted “night riding.” “Law wouldn’t correct the evils,” it was claimed. Yet many parish officials have heen shown to be members of the Klan. Sheriff Fred B. Carpenter has admitted being a charter member here. The nightriding continued. Sometimes it was a moonshiner who was rushed across the border; sometimes & wayward girl, and sometimes a negro concubine. The night riders meted out punishment to citizen after citizen.
