D, Hig- genbotham was with the band?” George Guion, assistant attorney generai asked Mayor Dade during the examination. “I am not positive,” Dade replied. “What was the purpose of the trip?” “We started up to investigate a ro- port that a negro was running a gambling house in which white per- song were permitted to gamble with negroes.” “Did you find exist?” “No, the house was dark.” Bringing his narrative to the held- ing up of the three men, Dade con- tinued: “Neelis, Dantel and Andrews haf stopped their automobile up the road and were sitting in the car. Some of the men approached and asked them who they were." ‘Were they whipped?” “No, there was no violence, but thelr gune were taken away from them.” ‘Was there anything elas contem- plated or suggested?” was asked. that condition to June opposing | what was asserted to be a breaking} | | IMPORTANT CHANGES IN PACKER AT CONFERENCE WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Import- ant changes in tentative plans for administration of the packer con. trol act are ynderntood to have been urged by representatives of the “big five” packers of Chicago at a con- ference today with officials of the de- partment of agriculture.

I told Captain Skipwith that too." ‘Who suggested the thrashing?” ‘Ed Ivy," “Did the three boys have anything to say?” “Yes, Watt did some talking, about making whisky. He said he had quit and had not made any in a certain length of time.” “There was nothing of an alterca- tion between the three boys and klansmen?”* 1d you quit the Klan?” ‘Yes sir, I was only in it two months. My friends accused me of being an informant which resulted in raids on a negro grocer. Hooded men in daylight came into Mer Rouge and staged this raid.

The derision will be taken at the Tequest of France. Although the “official” reason is to give the French delegation more time in which to pre- pare new moratorium conditions, it is believed the increasing indication of passive resistance by Germany tu the French occupation of the Ruhr has much to do with it. mR Tee PS FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S CLUBS CONDEMNS HAYS IN FATTY’S REINSTATEMENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—A_ reso- lution disaapproving of Will Hays’ re'nstatement of “Fatty” Arbuckle in the movies was adopted today b;* the governing board of the Nationa!
