Bert Thurman, national Republican i ommltteeman; Criminal Judg: James A. Collin George V. Coffin and four others m a suit fileu in irnrral court Tuesday by William Rogers, former klansman. Other defendants are Attorney Milton Clawson. Albert Ward former United States district attorney, and Russell Duncan, attorney, erring a term at Leavenworth penitentiary on a government check torgery charge. The suit is based on an alleged attempt of defendants to intimidate Rogers into denying his testimony about Watson's klan membership before the Reed senate primary campaign inevstigating committee in 1926. and to sign an affidavit, to which he charges his name later was forged. Rogers, according to the complaint, joined the Ku-Klux Klan, May 21, 1922. and rose to the office of G-2. entitling him to an imperial passport, providing immunities and privileges and identifying him in any part, of the United States. In October, it is alleged he testified at St. Louis before the Reed committee that hr applied to Watson at Washington for a place in the department of justice, saying he had been sent to Watson by D.

j who. it further is alleged, produced • a similar passport. The complaint charges .that when j the testimony was printed. Watson who then was in Methodist hospital: recovering from injuries received j in an automobile accident, denied the incident and membership in the klan, saying he did not even know Rogers. Later, the suit charges, the defendants conspired to cause him to c hange his testimony by signing an affidavit repudiating it, and sent j Klinck to him, promising hin. if he j would sign an affidavit he would be j guaranteed immunity from prosecu- | rion and large sums of money He j declined to sign. Failing in this. Rogers alleges, the defendants induced Klinck to forge the name “William W. Rogers" instead of his real name. “William M. Rogers." It is alleged Rogers was confronted with the alleged forged affidavit by Albert Ward, then district attorney. In .fline, 1927. before j the federal grand jury, but that the ! affidavit was executed so clumsily | that the grand jurors refused to in- : diei him. From the day he testified before the Reed committee, it is afieged, until the grand jury returned an ignoramus," Rogers charges he was subject to constant threats, intimidation and espionage by defendants, and was damaged greatly in his business and reputation. The suit was prepared and filed by Otto Gresham, attorney, who has a $50,000 damage suit on file in federal court against Governor Harry G. Leslie. The affidavit referred to in the complaint is attached as Exhibit “A.” The affidavit to which Rogers ! claims his name was forged pretends to be an admission by Rogers that he was induced to give false testimony before the Reed committee by Court Asher, Thomas Adams, former Vincinnes publisher, and Boyd Gurley, Indianapolis Times editor, in order to “get" Watson, in his political campaign for re-elec-tion. The alleged forged affidavit also pretends to be an admission by Rogers that, his testimony about Watson’s imperial passport, was untrue.

EDIGT AGAINST FAT OOPS BRINGS ‘GORE' DELUGE Many Professional Reducers Hope to Profit by Chicago •Pound-a-Month' Order. P.V W. F. SIT,I.IV \N. I'nitfd <taff ( orrespond^nt CHICAGO, June 12.—W. F. Russell. police commissioner, sought not to a-sume the role of a modem Shylock when he ordered his corpulent coppers to reduce their waistlines to the size of their salaries, but he did not reckon with the merchants of Chicago, who make a business of making trim figures out of the grotesque. He sought not to create confusion or controversy in exacting his “pound of flesh" demands, but in that his intentions were not carried out. “A pound of flesh a month will drop the size of the force to proper proportions,” he said as he contemplated his weight cutting plans and reviewed the rotund and worried faces of his men. No strenuous exercise, diets or steam baths that might weaken the help was to be expected and the officers in line were put at ease. Masseurs, dieticians, health and reducing experts, however, regarded the news as a stimulus for business and the resulting mail has kept the commissioner occupied with suggestions rather than in having his own orders carried out. “A pound a day can be taken off without impairing the officers’ health.” one expert wrote and he offered his services gratis in return for free mention of his name. “Send me ten of your fattest and I’ll show' you how it is dene,” he ■wrote in his convincing manner.

Her beauty of face and form brought forth enthusiastic rounds of applause as she paraded the horseshoe walk while the judging was in progress before a packed auditorium. Miss Austria wore a bright red flowering satin evening gown on her first appearance. Later she walked j before the footlights in a trim bathing suit of green. Miss Austria's victory was looked upon as an evidence of a waning vogue for the flapper personality and boyish figure. The Vienna girl's appeal was wholly feminine, and many used the word 'ethereal” in desccribing her. “Her beauty gave me the impression of holiness —of something not belonging to this world." said one of the group of mothers who accompanied the foreign contestants. The mothers held an informal vote during the judges deliberation.' and each of them decided that, it her own daughter could not win . the award, she would like to see Miss Austria gain it. | Miss Ahlberg was awarded SI,OOO ; for her runner-up position and DorJ othy Jean Davis, Miss Ohio, won ; SSOO.

HURRY DRAFT OF OIL POLICY Hope Hoover Will Rescind Permit Withdrawals. Bn I Intel Pr> COLORADO SPRINGS. June 12. —President Herbert Hoover's oil conservation conference attempted today to agree on a “declaration of general policies" for conservation of the oil of America. And while the conference labored, delegates from the public lands states of the west were confident that the government soon would rescind or modify the oil permit withdrawal order of March 12. which they contend, hinders the progress of the Rocky Mountain section. Although Mark L. Requa of California, permanet chairman, has ruled repeatedly during the conference that the oil withdrawal order had no place here, the western delegates today believed other govern-
