BULLETIN JENNINGS, La., Jan. 2 The Jennings cavalry of the Louisiana National guard was ordered today to entrain lor Morehouse parish. (By Associated Press)

BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 2 The decision as to whether Dr. B. M. McKoin, wanted in Louisiana for alleged com plicity in the murder of Watt Daniels and Thomas Richards, of Morehouse, at the hands of a hooded niob, will make a fight against extradition, will be left entirely with the former mayor of Mer Roupe, Robert It. Carman, counsl for the accused physician, said Mr. Carman made a statement to this effect directly after he left a con-

. Jjterence with State's Attorney Leach.

.Mr. Leach turned over to him copies of the extradition papers sent to Governor Ritchie by Governor Parker of Louisiana a few days ago, and Mr. Carman expressed the belief that the documents were legally inadequate. Up to McKoin "I shall not advice Dr. McKoin to make the fight or to return to Louisiana," continued the former United States district attorney. '"It is a matter for him alone to determine, but I shall tell him I believe the extradition papers faulty. It is for him to decide whether he wants to go back to his home state and face the results without tit first making a test of the matter." Details of the affidavits were not disclosed, but Mr. Carman said there was one by Governor Parker and another by the sheriff of Morehouse parish accusing Dr. McKoin of cornplicity in the murder of Watt Daniels j i and Thomas Richards by a hooded gang sometime between last August and eariy iu December. Charged With Murder Dr. McKoin was arrested here last I Tuesday at the request of Governor Parker, who charged him with the murder of Watt Daniels and Thomas Richards, following the Morehouse par-i.-h kidnaping of last August 24. The pyhsician denied he was implicated in the outrages and is prepared to offer an alibi tending to show he was in Monroe, forty miles from the scene of ihe disorders on the night in question. Telegrams from many prominent Monroe citizens have bepn received corroborating his statements. BASTROP, La.. Jan. 2. Troubled

Department of Justice agents spnt into Louisiana to join forces with state officials in solving the mystery of the disappearance of Daniels and Richards and other masked band operations centered their energies todav in an effort to locate the missing man.

One of the investigators who had charge of the inquiry into the disappearance of Teegerstrom stated last night to newspapermen that he had positive information that the carbon worker was kidnapped.

Climax on Friday The disappearance of Teegerstrom overshadowed other phases of the in vestigation which is expected to reach j a climax with the opening next Friday! of an open hearing to be conducted by Attorney-General A. V. Coco. Preparations were going forward for the inquiry and the possible special grand jury session to follow in its wake, but o definite announcement as o the plans have been made. What additional arrests will be made and when is a carefully guarded secret. It is understood, however, that a score or more indictments ' will be sought and in all likelihood a special court term for immediate trial will be asked. Jt was announced that the reports of Drs. George W. Luvall and John A. Lanford. New Orleans, pathologists, who niade autopsies on the bodies of Daniels and Richards after they were removed from Iike LaFourche, would probably be submitted to the attorney general today. Additional secret, service men arrived today to join the federal agents who have been here several months investigating masked mob activities. It was believed that the new arrivals are to be used in making arrests or keeping informed about material witnesses.

C. G. Carpenter In Milling Business Here Fifty Years Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the management and ownership, by Charles G. Carpenter, of the Richmond Roller Mill, a landmark, and an institution whose history Is closely connected with the history of the city of Richmond. Mr. Carpenter ftas seen the progress of the milling industry, as exemplified in his own plant.. from the early burr mill stones, driven by water power, to chilled iron rollers operated by steam or electric power. With the addition of improved equipment, the capacity of the mill also has increased from one and a half barrels of flour an hour, in 1873, to eight barrels at prpsent. This present capacity is practically equal to th S65 bushel combined capacity of all the 12 earlier mills within a mile radius of Richmond, which have Dfen superseded Dy the Richmond plant First Milling Plant. The first mill consisted only of the south building which is now a small part of the whole plant. When taken over Jan. 2, 1S73, by Mr. Carpenter, it was equipped with one set of stones for corn, ind two sets for making wheat flour. Thpse were operated by machinery driven by water power which duriDg high water sea: son, was capable of driving all thsee at once. The capacity was one and a half barrels of flour an hour. In 18S5, the first roller mill was put in with an increase in capacity to five barrels an hour. The mill was stripped and the sifter U. S. SUPREME COURT RECONVENES TODAY; BUTLER IS SWORN IN (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. After a three week's recess the supreme court met today and began delivery of opinions as soon as Associate Justice Pierce Butler had been inducted into office. Although he had taken the" "iron clad" oath to sr.pport and defend the constitution before Judge Booth, of St. Paul, Dec. 2t, Justice Butler was sworn in today by Chief Justice Tatt with a combination "iron ciad" and "judicial" oath. Ordinarily the court proceedings cover onlv the administering of the judicial oath to do equal justice to the rich and poor and to faithfully and impartially administer justice. Among import ."Tit cases set for argument before the court during the week were the appeals of the Ameri can and foreign steamship companies in the liquor cases expected to be reached Thursday. The first argument to be heard will be on the motion of the government to dismiss the original cases brought by the state of New York, challenging the. constitutionality of the Water Power act. The senate and house were not insession today. Both end their holiday adjournment tomorrow. REVOLT BREAKS OUT IN MOSUL OIL FIELDS (Bv Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 2. Official announcement that an insurrection had broken out at Mosul, in the kingdom of Irah, was received here1 from Angora today. The telegram said that the inhabitants of the entire oil producing region were demanding annexation of the territory to Turkey. Dispatches from London yesterday chronicling the revolt in Mosul re ported that the hangars of the British air force had been burned. The British government through its spokesman at the Lausanne conference has insisted upon its right to the rich Mosul oil fields, jurisdiction over which is claimed by Turkey. Dur ing the past few weeks there have been several reports of threatened in surrections in the territory for which London has held the Turks partially responsible.

The nationalization plan which will be placed before the United States Coal Commission provides the pur chase of all the coal mines in the. country by the government , at an approximate cost or J4, 500, 000,000. In addition to a campaign for "education" which is to be carried directly to the rank and file of the mine-workers, it is also planned to enlist the support of the railroad brotherhoods in forwarding the nationalization idea.

ANGELES, Jan. 2 Renewed search for Mrs. Clara Phillips, hammer murderess, who escaped from the Los Angeles, county jail Dec. 0, centered today around a note found about 100 feet from a cabin in a lonely canyon near Los Angeles, where, sheriff's deputies declared last night they were convinced she had hidden for at least four days after her jail break. The note weighted down by a rock and partly concealed in brush on the trail leading to the cabin, read: "Clara: Will see you Wednesday night. For God's sake be careful." Officers said they would compare the handwriting of the note with that of a person under suspicion as having aided Mrs. Phillips in escaping. The message was written in a masculine hand on the margin of a newspaper and officers said they regarded it as authentic. It was announced from the sheriff's office that Armour Lee Phillips, the murderess' husband, had purchased groceries at a store near the cabin daily the four days after his wife's escape and that another man had called for them and presumably delivered them at the cabin. a re-questioning of Phillips was I planned, the officers said.

(By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan. 2. Premier Poincare and Premier Bonar Law appeared to be farther apart in the opening session of the reparations ' conference than they were at the end of the London meeting in December. Each presented a carefully considered plan of their respective govern

ments, and these were being carefully studied this evening in compari son with the Italian plan, which endeavors to reconcile two extremes. M. Poincare announced to the con ference that the French government would agree to scale down Germany's reparations to 50,000,000,000 gold marks,, subject to several limitations. This sum round comprises 12,000,000,000 gold marks in Class A, reparations bonds, and 38 billion in Class B, bonds already executed by the German governmpnt. Class C bonds totals 62 billion gold marks, would be put aside for the extinction or adjustment of the inter-allied debt. Demands Guarantees. France would consent to a two year moratorium, but meantime the allies would take great productive guarantees, notably the mines, forest, and state properties on the left bank of the Rhine and part of the mines In the Ruhr property Taking of these

productive resources would be byjripyr nrnOniJO UJIDT civil and not by military proceedings (jfj j"' tfJUriU nUfil

be by auu "- sciuujcui. would De required to agree. Mr. Bonar Law, immediately after M. Poincare had outlined the French proposal, brought forward the English plan, which is understood to be widely divergent. Proposal Kept Secret The nature of the proposals which Karl Bergman, the German financial expert, is bringing for the premiers' consideration has been kept a carefully guarded secret in Berlin, but it is regarded as likely that Chancellor Cuno has named a maximum amount which it would be possible for Germany to pay. Herr Bergmann, it is reported, is desirous of reading the proposals to the delegates, but it is not regarded as likely that the conference will admit of such a procedure on the ground lhat X the.. German ' communication should be sufficiently clear to make oral Explanations or amplifications unneces6arjr. French circles regard such a move as an attempt on Germany's part to give her representative a place in the debates. Move Improbable. It is planned to call members of the reparations commission in consultation only when a question arises of fixing penalties for defaults in pay ments in kind. It was regarded, however, as very probable that this question might come up at the outset of the conservations, inasmuch as Pre mier Poincare was known to be desirous of refuting the charge that the commission's recent vote declaring Germany in voluntary default in her timber payments was obtained quietly and by surprise. On this vote Great Britain cast the only dissenting ballot. France went into the conference determined to ask guarantees, in tho shape of the resources of the Ruhr valley that Germany would fulfill her reparations obligations. Great Britain according to well-informed circles was convinced that a moratorium and a reduction . in the total bill were necessary to a solution of the whole reparations problem.

Fewer Babies Die in 1922; Maternity Death Rate Higher (By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Infant mortality has decreased but the maternity death rate has increased, according to the annual report of Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the children's bureau of the department of labor, which was made public today. Maternity deaths, she said, were more numerous per unit of population in the United States birth registration area in 1920 than in any foreign country for which figures were available, and despite the decline of infant mortality, five other countries reported' lower rates. Fort y-two states, Miss Abbott reported, have accepted the terms of the maternity and infancy Act, 12 through their legislatures and 30 by governors pending sessions of the legislature. All! states, ehe declared, must face a gen eral demand "that whatever the source or character of the opposition, community measures of proved value must be utilized for reducing the present unnecessary loss of life." To each state accepting the terms of the Act Miss .Abbott explained, $5,000 a year is granted outright and an additional ?5,000 plus an amount determined on the basis of population is granted if matched by the state's own appropriation. She said the federal board of maternity and infant hygiene, which administers the Act under her chairmanship, had not laid down any plan of work which states must follow. j uor made approval of plans submitted Dy accepting states- "contingent on complying with certain conditions, each plan being considered on its merits." The intent, she added, is that the work shall be planned and carried out by the states, and programs approved by the board in consequence, differ widely according to local conditions. GERMAN REPARATIONS AND DEBTS Q TALLIES SEPARATE, SAYS U. S. tly MHK SI U.1VA WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 2 In the light of the arrival of the British debt commission, it will be useful to state the American position about the j separation of inter-allied debts, on the one hand, from German reparations on the other hand, as that position was clearly implied in recent official utterances and otherwise brought out on the floor of the senate. The American position Is that the amount of the German reparations must be fixed without any reference to the inter-allied debts. The sole test of the amount of the German reparations is: How muvh is Germany able to pay? . There was a time when everybody thought the test of the amount of the German reparations should be the total

cost of the war to all the allies. At!$lS6,957; Fountain City, $33S,4

one time it was contended that Germany should be required to pay not only the material destruction done but also the pensions to British, French, Belgian and Italian soldiers, so long as those pensions shall continue to be paid. View Widely Held This view of the amount of the German reparations that it should consist of the addition of the entire amourit of damage done, was at one time widely held among the peoples of Great Britain, France and Belgium. To some extent it was held among tie leaders of those countries, or at least the leaders gave their peoples to understand that some such amount as this would be extracted from Germany. To some slight extent, perhaps, this expectation still exists on the part of the less-informed among the peoples of the allied countries. The larger sum, which might readily amount to as much as 50 or 100 billion dollars, is the amount that Germany would have to pay if pure justice were practiced. No suggestion for reducing the amount of German reparations is (Please Turn to Page Ten)

fEy Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 2. The Turkish National assembly has unanimously decided to uphold the National pact, according to a despatch from Angora, the capital. It is also reported but not confirmed that Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation to the Lausanne conference has been instructed to insist upon integral maintenance of the pact and that he has been authorized to sign a separate peace with such powers as are willing to subscribe before their own powers. The national pact which Mustapha Kemal Pasha has repeatedly declared should be fulfilled, provides amonr

other things that the Mosul district Mespotanda, shall be Turkish territory. It is this district containing some of the richest oil wpIIs in the world that is one of the chief bones of contention between the Turkish and British delegates, the latter claiming it to be a part of the Kingdom of Irak, a British mandatory state. Another article of the pact calls for a plebescite to determine tne judicial status of western Thrace. This plebescite was one of the firm demands made by the Turks after their arrival in Lausanne. The pact declares for abolition of the capitulations or extra territorial rights grantPd to nationals of foreign countries under treaties with Turkey, and guarantees the rights of the minority population in Turkey "on, the same basis as is established in other countries by conventions hitherto concluded between the powers of the entente, their adversaries, and certain of their associates." PARIS, Jan. 2 Despite threats of war, reported uprisings in Mesopotamia and defiance of the Angora government, Great Britain today determined to make no concessions to Turkish dmands regarding Mosul and the Straits. Marqui3 Cnrzon returned' to Lausanne at noon carrying Bonar Law's authorization for a "no" to all demands1 presented at the .Lausanne parley by Ismet Pasha, which the British delegate preTicnsly had rejected. The Turkish threats of war are to be met without the least sign of con ciliation, it was stated in British cir,les' "wtaK a conference between Bonar Law, Curzon and the adTisers here this morning.
