The methods in all cases were so similar as to suggest the existence of a secret society intended to mete out swift community justice, similar to the op- erations of the Ku-Klux Klan in re- construction days. Besides Richard . Johnson, eight-year-old farmer, Who w. ped near Warrensburg, disclosed today, the other were Mrs. Beulah Johnson, at lib- erty under bond on a bigamy charge, who was taken from a hotel porch in Tenaha, Tex., by masked men in automobiles, removed to the country, divested of her clothing and tar and feathers applied; afterward her bondsmen withdrew and she was placed In jail; Rev.

Pershing Urges Wélding of Army With National Guard-and Reserves. Corps area and departmental com- manders have been asked by Gen. Pershing, chief of staff, to co-operate with him in welding the Regular Army, the National Guard and,the organized reserves into one whole, l;,endy to meet any emergency at any me. He pointed out the opportunity for broadened public serviee by ofticers for the country through the medium of the new Army and urged that they give fullest co-operation to the Na- tional Guard and reserve officers and men. He called upon the regulars to avold any feeling of partisanship for their establishment and take for their goal the success of each component part of the Army. Urges Interchange of Service. “All citizen soldiers who are free to meet the special reqfirements im- posed on members of the National Guard should be encouraged to enter that force,” the chief of staft con- tinued. “All young men, after their voluntary military training in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps or training camps, should be encouraged to join a unit either of the National Guard or the Organized Reserve: There should be no rivalry betwee: the two forces, but rather an inter- change of service between them. “In conclusion, it is my desire that the officers detailed for service in the organization and training of the National Guard and the Teserves should be selected from the most ef- ficient officers in our Army. Insists on Cordial Relations. “It is not sufficient that this duty be assigned to an individual your headquarters to be performed in & perfunctory manner, but the corps area commander and all officers of his organization will be expected to take an active interest in these forces and establish toward them the most cor- dial attitude of sympathy and help- fulness to the end that the Arm{ of the United States may be welded into an harmonious and efficient whole ready to meet any emergency that may call for its services.” —_— LITHUANIANS REFUSE. ‘Will Not Attend Polish Conference in Brussels Today. GENEVA, July 17.—The Lithuanian delegation has informed the league of nations that the Lithuanians would be unable to attend the proposed Polish- Lithuanian conference at Brussels, which it was planned to hold today. They add, however, that the Lithu- gnian answer would be submitted within a few days. As thig answer is understood to be a refusal of the com- promise plan approved at the recent session of the council, it is consid- ered in-league circles that Lithuania is becoming less anxious to negotiate a settlement of the dispute with Po- land.

(Copyright REVIVE PROBE INTO SLAYING OF BROKER Sheriff Claims Mrs. Hemming Might Have Prevented Her Husband’s Death. By the Associated Press. NORTHPORT, N.. Y., July 18— Official inquiry into the killing of Henry, G. Hemming, New York broker, by Frank Eberhardt, caretaker of Hemming’s Wwife's estate, was re- newed today at the insistence of Sheriff Kelly. He asserts that Mrs. Hemming has not given satisfactory answers to questions concerning the events preceding the shooting of her husband, which was followed by the suicide of Eberhardt. Assistant District Attorney Pat- ridge has exonerated Mrs. Hemming of complicity, but under the urging of the sheriff District Attorney Young has taken personal charge of the in- quiry. Says She Knew of Death Plan. Sheriff Kelly said that Mrs. Hem- ming knew about the caretakerfs intention to kill her husband if he should try to force his way into her home. “I belleve it was her duty to pre- vent the crime she knew was going to happen,” the sheriff said. District ‘Attorney Young expressed satisfaction with the course of his assistant, saying that ther ewas no reason for an arrest and that it had rot been shown that Mrs. Hemming knew her husband was to be Kkilled. “My theory is that the double kill- ing was the act of a crazy man,” he added, “but if any new facts are de- veloped I shall take action. ‘Wife Barred From Funeral. Mrs. Hemming revealed today that John G. Hemming of New York, the broker’s son by a prior marriage, had barred her from her husband's funer- al. She said she telephoned to him four times to learn the hour for the services, and that she was told she would not be informed unless she signed a sworn statement that news- paper reports concerning her husband were untrue. She refused this de- mand and later received a telegram telling of the arrangements for the funeral, but it was too late for her to attend. MURDER TO BE PROBED.
