MER ROUGE MAYOR ADMITS PRESENCE IN HOODED MOB

KIHLUX CHIEF OFFERS TO JELL KLANACTIVITIES Witness Names Self and Dr. McKoin With Skipwith as Terrorist Members. BLOODSHED IS PREDICTED Cyclops Tells Attorney General He Is Pursuing Wrong Course in Case. Bv United Press COURTHOUSE. Bastrop. La.. Jan. 12.—Robert Dade, mayor of Mer Rouge, admitted today that he had participated In the reign of terror which State officials are probing in connection with the brutal murders of Watt Daniel and Thomas Richards. Dade, re-called to the stand today, said he was in the hooded mob that accosted Daniel, W. C. Andrews and Henry J. Neelis a few days before the murders. He named Dr. B M. McKoin and Capt. J. K. Skipwith as being in the band of blaekhoods. Previously Dade admitted he was a former klansman. Offer Conference Before the session began today State attorneys received an offer from Skipwith. exalted cyclops of the klan, to detail every activity of the organization since its founding here two years ago. "You gentlemen are pursuing the wrong course in handling this investigation,” Captain Skipwith told Assistant Attorney General Guion and Special Presecutore Warren, when he met them as they were walking toward the courthouse. “If you desire, you can learn everything the Klan has done in this parish, you can learn it from the officials of the Klan." The suggestion for a conference followed and Attorney General Coco approve!. No date has been set for the meeting. Skipwith said the State is making a mistake in its method of handling the open hearing, in that it is not confining itself to the murders of Daniel and Richards, but is digging into an old feud in the parish. This feud, Skipwith said, had died out. “Bloodshed will be the result of this,” he said. “The feud will be re newed. Why not leave the old thing alone and investigate this murder?"

Butler Students Present Opera “The Pirates of Penzance” was presented last night by the Butler College Opera Club at the Masonic Temple. William Piercy as the pirate apprentice, the leading male role, was very pleasing in his rendition of his tenor solos. Miss Mildred Johns, who carried the contralto, displays unusual talent and the duet with the tenor in the first act was exceedingly well sung. Miss Elizabeth Callon. the pretty heroine of the story, has a soprano voice of sweet tone. Very popular with the audience was C. Morrison Davis, baritone, who was “the very model of a modem major general.” Others who did commendable work were Kenneth Thorne, Stephen Badger and Dorothy Ryker. The choruses are worthy of another word of comment. Both the men’s and women’s were unified in their work and the many voices blended together harmoniously. Between the acts a quartette, whose members were William Piercy, Myroq Hopper, Frank Hopper and Kenneth Thorne, entertained with some popular songs, closely harmonized. Arnold Spencer of the College of Music and Fine Arts and Prof. Rollo A. Tallcott coached the production.

John Curtin was my preordained mate and the fact he already was bound to another woman whom he no longer loved never marked a harried which I should not have overstepped.

Removal of legal limitations of married women is proposed in a bill introduced in the Senate today by Senator Miller of Marion County. Married women would be allowed to acquire and hold property by gift or descent in their own names, according to provisions of the bill. They are accorded the same protection and exemption from seizure of property from sale as given any householder by the constitution. Upon marriage, a husband is not liable for debts of his wife exceeding value of her personal property when she was married.
