The instances now number a score or more within the last three months and indicate the existence of a secret organization similar to that of the Ku Kiux Klan of reconstruction days ‘The latest attack was the first ever | Feported as made aguinst a woman Mrs. Beulah Johnson was taken from | a hotel porch in Tenaha, Tex., strip: | ped, tarred and feathered. It was al- leged that the woman was a bigamist. The attack was said to have been made by men wearing white uniforms. | At Miami, Fla., eight masked men | | | waylaid Philip S. Irwin, white, arch- deacon of the Episcopal church and | head of that church's work among the | South Florida negroes, on Sunday evening, took him into the woods and | | whipped him, then applied a coat of | tar and feathers. He was returned to town and dumped from an automopile | | into the street. Irwin said his assail- ants told him he had been preaching social equality to the negroes. | At Warrensburg, Mo., on Sunday | night, Richard Johnson, a_ retired | farmer, was seized and whipped by | three masked men. He was warned | to leave the country, he said. j R. F. Scott, world war veteran, was dumped from an automobile in a coat of tar and feathers, at Beaumont, Tex., on Saturday night.

Brum. | field, prominent dentist and lodge | man of this city, is charged with the | murder of Dennis Russell, a laborer. | The finding of a charred and de. | capitated body under the wreckage of | a flaming automobile on the Pacific | highway near Dillard led Sheriff Sta- | mer to issue a warrant for the arrest | of Dr. R. M. Brumfield, on a charge of | murder. According to the sheriff, the victim was Dennis Russell, who lived atone | in a shack near Dillard. Brumfield was known to carry a total of $27,000 insurance. | } Alleged is sald to give | strong indications that Russell murdered and the body mutilated and j placed in a carefully planned auto | wreck to make it possible for the fam- | ily of the heavily indebted dentist to | collect his insurance money, which | amounted to $27,000, it being believed, | evidently, by the doctor that the body | would, in its badly disfigured condi- | tion, be mistaken for his own, officers declared. The headless and charred body the morgue was identified as that of Dennis Russell by two brothers, J. T. | Russel! of Boomer Hill and Ed Russell | of Dilla'd. Mrs. Brumfield maintained that the body was that of her husband, | LAWS ARE NOT IN CONFLICT | | State and Federal Grain Acts Held in | | Harmony. | Pendleton, Or.—Oregon and Wash ‘ington grain discount laws are not in | conflict with federal grading stand- | ards, B. W. Whitlock, in charge of federal grain supervision of the | | northwest, told a meeting here of grain growers of Umatilla and Gilliam coun | les of Oregon and Columbia and Wal- | la Walla counties of Washington. | The meeting was called by the grain | discount committee of the Umatilla |farm bureau, in line with the fight | | which farmers are preparing to wage | | against the Northwest Millers and | Grain Dealers’ association which re- | | cently decided to disregard the state | discount laws, holding they were in | conflict with federal standards. Contrary to the grain dealers’ con | tention, Mr. Whitlock stated that the | | federal grades had nothing to do with | | the fixation of prices for any particu | | lar grade or the price differentials on | grain weighing between the different | | grade points. | { | evidence was | impadibheeradeieunisee | Portland to Pay Auto Taxes Portland, Or.—Automobiles owned by the city of Portland must be pro- | vided with the regular state license | plates in the same manner as private | cars, Circuit Judge Morrow held in | | the case of the state of Oregon | against W.

LIVESTOCK RATE REDUCTION URGED Washington, D.C stock were held Rates on lve recommendation was made to the in terstate commerce commission the carriers make substantial reduc- tions for the benefit of users in gen- | eral, in the report made by Examiner Disque. Rates on certain commodities were stifling industry and should be re- duced, the examiner said, adding, how- ever, that a reduction in rates on traf- fie in general seems unwarranted at | this time. The report aaid that, although rates | | on livestock were not excessive when judged from a strictly transportation | standpoint, they were “unreasonable ‘from an economic standpoint.” The livestock industry, the report said, would be materially helped by a re- duction in rates, because the cost of getting to market was a substantial item, IRISH DISCUSSION RESUMED Last Week Quietest Since Sinn Fein Campaign Began. London.—The discussions Premier Lioyd George and Eamonn | de Valera with the object of finding | a basis for a general conference on the Irish situation were resumed on Monday.
