BASTROP, La., Jan. 19. William J. McDonald, 60 years old, brother-in-law of J. L. Daniel, father of Watt Daniel, who, with T. F. Richards, was kidnapped near here Aug. 28 and whose mutilated bodies were found In Lake LaFourche last month, testified at the opening hearing into the activi ties of masked men in Morehouse par ish today that "Jap" Jones had told him the "whole Daniel family" would be "cleaned out" before the alleged attempt to assassinate Dr. B. M. McKoin was settled. McDonald said he did not know he was related to the Daniel family, and after he became aware of it he asked him to "forget it." "Jones said, 'We are going to clean out the whole damned Daniel family before this thing is settled.' "He did not seem to realize that I was re lated to the Daniel family. I called his hand, and he told me I needn't j get so mad about it. I told him Dr. j McKoin was never shot," McDonald said. Knew About Act "Do you know anything about the kidnapping?" "Yes sir, I knew an hour before it happened. I was in Bonita at the time. You could hear all about it except they didn't figure out the right parties kidnapped." "Let's hae some more of what you heard." "Well, after the kidnapping, Jim . Harp and I got to talking in his butcher shop about the kidnapping and he told me they should have killed them the night they caught Daniel, Andrews and Neelis on the Gallion road, and they would not have had any more trouble with them." (The Gallion kidnapping occurred Aug. 17.) "Jim Harp told you that?" "Yes. I let it be known to him how

"Me said he had been bothered a great deal by United States detectives," the witness testified. "He said that on Friday night a man called him out of the office and told him he wanted to talk to him. The man took him to an automobile, which he said had several men inside, and he said he ciovv auspicious and broke away and ran. That is the reason he gave me for hiding out. He changed clothes, put on my hat, shoes and overcoat, to change his identity and left in two hours." "Have you received anything from him?" "Yes. T got my watch which I loaned him because his watch had his initials

on it. It came in the mail. Before he left he gave me his watch to be sent to his brother and some keys to be sent to the Carbon plant." "It appeared to you he was trying to make his petaway, was trying to shield his identity." "That's right." Bodies Found in Lake. The bodies of Daniel and Richards, cast into Lake LaFourche were discovered Dec. 22 floating on tho surface.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The insurgent Republican group in congress is measuring out the scant 39 days, omitting Sundays and holidays, which remain of the present session, for the purpose of so adjusting their actions and their speeches as best to serve their policies. Of these policies one of the chief is to prevent the ship subsidy- bill from coming to a vote. If this bill is prevented from coming to a roll call, it will be the insurgent Republicans rather than the Democrats who will have

accomplished that result. The Demo crats are opposed to the bill, and if it comes to a roll calir are counted on to vote against it solidly, with the exception of probably not more than the two Democratic senators from Louisiana. iBut the Democrats regard it as their better policy not to give the country the spectacle of anything in the na ture of obstructionists. Policyis Mild-Mannered Ever since the election last November, the Democrats have clearly had i the policy of keeping their hands off! a current that is- going their way. In j this spirit, they have been disposed ' to comport themselves with dignity, j and even with meekness. Their pol- j icy is to be quite mild-mannered. This attitude became readily available to tbem when they saw the organization ! of the insurgent Republican group i under the leadership of La Follette. I inasmuch as these insurgent Republicans were going to make all possible trouble for the regular Republican organization, and give to the country as much criticism of the Republican administration as any Democrat could wish for, the Democrats themselves could afford to accept the benefits of that course on the part of the insurgent Republicans, and for their own part give to the country the spectacle of restrained dignity. It has been the judgment of your correspondent from the beginning that these Republican opponents of the ship subsidy bill could and would prevent it from coming to a vote, and this judgment is confirmed with the passage of time. With this as one accomplishment, assuming that it comes about, the insurgent Republicans hare an additional policy for the closing days of the session, of setting up a strenuous demand for a special session immediately after the end of the present one on March 4. President Harding does not want a special session. and the program of demanding one , ,,, :'v"7" "l , - - I hardlv pretends 1o exclude the purpose . v' cdn ,, , The only thing that would make a ppecial session imperative would be ,h. fai1 ,hp nrPRPnt nne tr. nass some one or more of the appropriation bills. This is not likely to happen, for 1he appropriation bills have been handled with unprecedented expedition, and are now farther ahead than at the corresponding stage of any former congress. May Force Special Session But the insurgent Republicans expect to point out to the country that a number of other things need to be done; and either to force Mr. Harding to call a special session to do them or fasten on him the blame for not getting them done. They are going to go through the list of things Mr. Harding recommended in his address at the opening of this session, and call attention to the ones which will not have been acted on, such as the child labor amendment, the registration of aliens act, the change in the statns of the railway labor board, and the railroad question generally. "You . have . recommended these things," the insurgents will cry out to Mr. Harding, "and they have not even been considered. " Give us and the country, therefore, a special session In which to consider them." The insurgents even have it in mind to attempt an entirely unprecedented scheme of bringing about anextra sesSlUIl miuut" -"- .

INDIANA LEGISLATORS GO TO PENDLETON TO GET FACTS ON PRISON tRy Vnit-:d Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19. Members of the legislature went to Pendleton today to learn first hand who is right in the squabble over appropriations to complete the new reformatory there. Governor McCray was working diligently through the medium of his "whips" in both senate and house to assure an appropriation of $2,000,000. His request was beset by three legislative pitfalls: J. A decided trend of opposition among many representatives and some senators republicans and democrats alike to constructing a correctional institution on much an elaborate scale. 2. The report of the republican majority of the budget committee which refused to approve or condemn the governor's recommendations. 3 The report of the democratic minority, which characterized the reformatory as "a prison delux" and recommended an appropriation of only $750,000. Back McCray's Request Supporters of Governor McCray In i the legislature were seeking to prove the justice of McCray's request. Following their announced attitude of opposition to the reformatory $2,000, 000 appropriations the democratic law makers were circulating among their republican colleagues trying to create niore sentiment against it.

Mountain Children Defective Result of Improper Food (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Threefourths Of the children examined in a mountain county in Kentucky by experts of the children's bureau of the department of labor, were found to be either poorly or only fairly well nourished, according to a report made public today. ' The faurvey was made at the request of the Kentucky board of health to determine "why a state famous. the world over for its prosperity should turn out so large a percentage of physically defective men as the draft records showed." It was found that only 16 per cent of the children studied in the sections, were of families able to provide the modest requirements of adequate living, and improvement of the soil and farming methods, with education of mothers in special requirements of children was recommended.' Four fifths of the children examined were said not. to own a tooth brush and 91 of 104 between six and 11 years old, .had decayed teeth, while 50 per cent 'of the total were found to have enlarged or diseased tonsils and many bad adenoids. Get, Improper Food Except in a few families, the use of ' fresh vegetables and fruit and" of fresh, lean meat w-as limited to short periods of the . year, the children's diet consisting chiefly of corn bread and sorghum, dried beans, fat salt "middlings" and . "as a redeeming feature, usually .milk." The, few eggs ' produced in the section ordinarily jw(jre KO,d for ready casb i(. was Faid j and thus the children had to depend jon milk for the protein, minerals and jvitamines needed for growth. When ! their supply of milk was reduced or i eliminated and skim milk, buttermilk jor coffee substituted the effect was I declared "disastrous." Giving of I i solid food to infants at too early an age and promiscuous eating between meals was also found to be common, and the need of children for. more sleep than adults require was ignored.

MAYOR OF.PORTLAND TO PETITION M'CRAY TO INVESTIGATE KLAN (Special to The Palladium) PORTLAND, Ind., Jan. 19. Appeal to Governor McCray for investigation

of alleged Klan membership ot National guardsmen here was to be made Friday by Mayor Thomas Fleming, as a result of the parade staged by Klansmen Wednesday night,' in defiance of a local ordinance and the specific appeal of the mayor. . The investigation appeal was to be based upon the acknowledged membership of the guard captain, E. A. Fulton, and the reputed membership of all the commissioned officers and many of the enlisted personnel. It will charge ihat encouragement, if not actual aid. was given by the guardsmen to the Klan, in staging the parade, and that the law enforcement authorities were intimidated by the guardsmen's participation and their well known Klan sympathies, thus being prevented from enforcement of the city ordinance. It also will ques tion the Klansmen s loyalty to their country, alleging-that the Klaji demands absolute loyalty to ' tue "Empire," thus excluding their country from their first loyalty. Acknowledges Membership. Captain Fulton openly acknowledged Klan membership Thursday, adding that he was proud to be counted a Klansman. In conversation with the mayor on Wednesday, however, be denied Klan membership. He is the only man of Portland who has admitted membership. - Mr. Fulton formerly was secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Portland, but now gives little time to anything but guard activities, and according to common report, the affairs of the "Invisible Empire".

Additional Resistance

Develops CBj Associated Pres) French, threats to enforce reparauons payments Dy confiscation were made good today by the seizure of sev eral state mines in the Ruhr valley and various Reichsbank branches. Mine managers and directors were arrested in some cases. Miners iu some of the seized pits' threatened to quit if the French entered, It was reported. Additional German resistance to French efforts to ship coal developed In the refusal of the Essen district railway administration to despatch coal trains. Orders for a strike of all the freight railway men in the Ruhr were received from Berlin, and a general Etrike of these employes parts of the Ruhr and Rhineland were was expected before night. Banks Are Seized Reichsbank branches in various the Germans were attempting to reseized by the French who claim that move their funds to unoccupied Germany. The French carried out their announced intentions- to take over the customs district ot the Rhineland. They took possession: ol the customs and coal tax fund. The state forests also were seized. Reports of possible mediation between the Allies and Germany by the League of Nations were discounted in Paris where It is said the French say they feel they cannot consent to such a step until the results c the occupation become apparent. (By United Press DUSSELDORF, Jan. 19 The French today seized a Deutsche bank automobile which was transferring 150,000,000 marks from a Reichbank branch. The latter building was padlocked and patrolled. After the seizure, all the banks in Dusseldorf were closed. (By United Press) LONDON, Jan. 19. All branch German banks, credit instiutions and tax collectors' offices in the Ruhr were confiscated by the French today, according to a Central News dispatch from Berlin. (By United Press) ESSEN, Jan. 19. French troops seized and occupied two state mines in the Buer region of the Ruhr today. The directors and President Ahrens, of the mine management at Reibeisen were arrested. German workers Immediately threatened to strike in retaliation demanding release of the officials and removal of the troops. France also began development of a customs line around the Rhineland Ruhr. Within the limits of the newly occupied zone the invaders tightened their hold on the pulse of German industry. Docks on the Rhineheren canal were seized and all traffic to Germany was halted. Four trains loaded with coke were halted. Director Schluteis, of the German tax office, was arrested at Duesscldorf, becaused he refused to deliver his books to the French. To Collect Customs. ' The latter instituted measures to work the state forests, collect customs and a 20 per cent coal tax, and intend to make use of German taxation statistics. German coal operators met with General Fournier last night; tho result of their conference is not yet known, but it is assumed they refused to make required coal deliveries and that Herr Thyssen and others will shortly face a French court-martial. Germans in the Ruhr, while, pleased at the French policy of "open arrest," of Thyssen and other coal operators, by which the industrialists are left actually free to come and go, are frankly concerned over the ever-tight-ening economic pressure. Seizure of the national coal tax, already decreed in the occupied Rhine region, is causing particular uneasiness. There was a minor disturbance at Alteissen today when a Gedman policeman was arrested for refusing to salute a French, officer. BERLIN, Jan. 19. Afler a week of France's "economic grip" in the Ruhr it seemed here today that M. Coste and General DeGoutte had received little more than their trouble for thei.pains in the attempts to enforce reprisals. A few coal barges intercepted here and there and an occasional coal train reconsigned were the only frui's of the occupation apparent in the capital. In deed it was said more coal was shipped yesterday to places outside of the occupied area than on Tuesday. It is feared that the reluctance of shippers to move coal on the Rhine in the face of confiscation by the French may result in a complete shutting off of the domestic supply. Mark Slides Down. So far one of the chief effects of the occupation noted here has been the whirlwind toboggan slide taken by the mark which was accompanied by the raising of the Reischbank'd discount rate from 10 per cent to 12. It is pointed out that such a momentous event at the outbreak of the world war served to increase the ra'e only one point from 5 per cent to six. Officials and workmen of the state railroads have been forbidden to cooperate in any way with the effort' of France and Belgium to get coal out of the Ruhr. The German government has begun the payment of compensation to losers among its nationals because of the Ruhr occupation, according . to the Tageblatt. A despatch from Bochum to that newspaper says the first advance on this account has been gran -ed and that it amounts to one billion marks. 4
