January “6.—A mew grave was dug in' the negro cemetery at Sumner, near here, late today and in it Sheriff Elias Walker placed the body of James Carrier, whose death at the hands of several white men this morning was the quel of the clash between the races at Rosewood Thursday night. He was shot to death while stand- ing on the graves of the four other negroes who fell in the fighting that followed an attempt of a crowd of white men fo enter a negro nouse in search of Jesse Yunter, wanted for alloged implication in an atiack on a white girl at Sumner. According to information received by officials, Carrier was seized by several white men this morning and accused of having been in the houss from which negrpes fired on the ar- proaching white men, killing two of their number. When he is sald to have refused to reveal the names of the negroes who did the shooting, the white men, oflicers were informed, led him to the negro graveyard and made him stand on the newly dug of his brother and motner, ctims of the fighting, while they riddled his body with shots.

MINING AGAIN UNDER WAY. | First Coal Since Riots Loaded Into Cars at Herrin. MARION, 11, January 6—An echo of the Kkilling of twenty-three men the Herrin riots came when the first coal mined since the tragedy last June poured down the red clay embankments into the waiting cars. Amidst charred fragments of the {burned mine office and a sight of the twisted, rust-covered remains of three switch engines wrecked by the mob, { groups of miners went unconcernedly about their tasks, From between two great mounds of rth, a monster steam shovel uncov- vered the coal on the spot where the non-union workers had surrendered on { June 22 and from which twenty of them had been ied forth to their deaths. After months consumed in repairing the wreckage wrought during the riots, the mine, then the property of the Souther 1llinois Coal Company, but now known as the Caloric' Coal Com- pany, was again in full operation, little remaining to tell of tragedy of which it had been thé scene. 'SHRINERS IN LINE FORD. G. CONGLAVE All Temples in North America Will Sénd Dele- gates Here. Reports reaching the Almas Tem- ple 1923 Shrine committee from the temples throughout North America indicate that marked enthusiasm was displayed at the annual elections held in December for the fullest pos- | sible participation in the Imperial ses- {sion of the Mystic Shrine in Wash- imgmn next June. Elections are { held in December in accordancs with fan Imperial Council law to that effect, so that the officers now installed in cach of the 156 temples of the order are the ones who from now on will have the® direction, in each case, of the organization that is to come here in June. Harry Standiford, executive secre- tary, says that from now until all preliminary work is completed, the activity of every committee having charge of these preliminaries will be pushed to the limit. Particularly is this true of the finance and the hotel and housing committees. The next step will be the selection of a chair- man of the citizens'- committee soon to be organized to co-operate with the 1923 committee. Relating to the unprecedented rail- road situation presented by the fact that_every inch of storage space in the Washington Terminal is reserved at this early date, Ellwood P. Morey, chairman of the hotel and housing committee, received the information from George C. Richards, represent- ing %orah Temple of Terre Haute, Ind., that it is the plan of the units of that organization to make the trip to Washington in automobiles. Up- wards of 100 machines will be re- quired for the party. It is considered advisable for all temples, Mr. Morey says, within easy reach of Washington, say, 500 miles, to plan on automobile caravans {if possible. = “If Washington solves this unique problem,” said Mr. Morey, “as I have no doubt we will, we shall set the pace for all other American cities in entertalnment, for no other Ameri- can city ever before has had before it a problem of such proportions.

BY WARREN By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune, Copyright, 1923, LONDON, January 6.— Coincident with the deadlock and the near rup- ture between the British and Turks at Lausanne over the future of Mosul comes the news from Angora of an uprising of Arabs in the disputed oil- bearing district against the British mandatory rulc. ! Hangars of the British air force in Mosul were burned by the rebels, ac- cording to the Angora story. This re- port was denied in official clrcles here. It Is not denfed that there is @ great deal of disorder in the northern Meso- potamian province, Serles of Upriningw. The history of the British occupa- tion since 1918 to date is a record of repeated uprisings and their suppres- sion. There was a fierce uprising Jast summer In northern Mosul, In which {the Turks and Kurds combined in the attempt to establish an independent goverament. On this occasfon puni- tive columns were sent agalnst the insurgents by British, which had to withdraw after suffering scrious losses. This ¢ suppre: ndition of a more ed rebellon is not peculiar to the Mosul district. but extends through the whole of Mesopotamia, though the British are able to main- tain “a better hold on the | tarther south Angora’s special reference in con- nection with the new uprising to the attuck on the hangars may be in- tended to serve propagandist pur- {poses, for the alr force is not exactly the most popular arm of the British power in Mesopotamia. Bombing Regular Routine. According to Sir Percival Philipps, an independent and well known jour- nalist, who was sent out to make a {special investigation of conditions |there, the bombing of villuges from |the air is more or less regular rou- itine for the collection of tuxes from the tribesmen. The country enjoys the same brand of independence as does Egypt or Cuba, Great Britain having elected to exercise a mandate |from the league of nations through the native ruler, instead of directly; but, as a matter of fact, Kin Feisal power depends entirely upon British bayonets and bombers. The relations between Great Britain and Mesopotamia are regulated by a {treaty concluded with the native go |ernment. and the terms of this treaty |is one of Lord Curzon's matm argu- ments in resisting the claim of the { Turks to Mosul at Lausanne. GOVERNOR PLGHES * NER ROUGE PROBE Louisiana Executive Has Worked for Months' to Solve Lake Tragedy. or less NEW ORLEANS, January 6.—That knowledge three months ago of the Lorrifying manner in which two ! Loulsiana citizens had been cut to | death by their fellowmen, prevented { Gov. Parker resting until he had at least used all the state's power to ferret out the gullty, was believed here tonight as the principal cause for the months of tireless effort on the part of the state’s chief executive. While it was the general opinion until several weeks ago that Danlels and Richards had fled from .More- house after being severely flogged, Gov. Parker insisted the bodies of the men were wallowing at the bot- tom of Lake La Fourche after the men had been tortured to death. “Certain terrorizing outrages have been committed, horrifying crimes have been reported.” the governor was quoted as saying during a visit to Washington six weeks ago when he sought federal intervention in handling masked band activtities i the state. . Visit to Washington. _ 1t was this belief that the muti- lated bodles of the two men were held down by welghts at the bottom of the lake, that prompted the governor in calling out National Guard troops to_assist in exploring the bottom. The governor's visit to Washing- ton, preceded by a newspaper article glven wide pubiication that the “klan had reduced the soverign state of Loulsiana to the vassalage of in- visible empire” which was immedi- ately denied by the governor, drew sharp criticism from the floor of the national Congress. “The scurroulous story which seriously reflected on the state of Louisiana, is false,” Repre- sentative Aswell of Loulsiana said. “It is entirely proper for the at- torney general of Louisiana to come here and seek the ald of the Depart- ment of Justice in law enforcement, but it is another question for the Governor of Loulsiana to inflict frre- parable injury on the state. “To the regret of our peaple, the Governor of Louislana, with his in- satiable thirst for publiclty, is re- sponsible for the great injury done | our state. Governor Attacked. Mr. Aswell said he knew nothing of the Ku Klux Klan except from reading Governor Parker's “bluster’ in his campalgn against the kian. “But I resent the attempt of the gov- ernor to surrender the soverign power of my state to federal authority and nis efforts to play cheap politics for front-page notorlety.” enator Ransdell and Represen ‘Wilson and Sandlin of Lopullllnl:t:l‘. nied that the Louisiana governmen: had broken down and resented the “unwarranted assaults on the people of Louisiana.” ‘The Mer Rouge incident was r ferred to in letters read into the rec. ord by Semator Walsh of Massa- chusetts, One of these letters, written by Joseph Morningstar of New York to the Massachusetts senator, testified to the war services of Watt Daniel, and asked that Inasmuch as Gov. Parker “admits that justice cannot be secured through local authorities” the matter be called to the federal Department of Justice. Mr. Morningstar inclosed a letter recelved from Gov. Parker, in which the Loulsiana executive stated: “It will-be necessary to use all the Influence at your command to get the United States government to take an interest in this matter, and for that reason I would appreciate your writing me at length your-opinion of this man as a soldler, and put it in such sktape that I can send it to Washington with the certainty that it will bring results. S “If these results do not come quick- 1y, could I impose upon you by asking you to get in touch with your con- gressmen and senators, requestin; that they take the matter up wi the Department of Justice to see that not only is the matter probed to the bottom, but that the murderers are brought to the bar of justice. Every possible effort at my command is and country | The Mosul question is not one of loll, it is insisted here, where a sec- | tlon of the press charges that the propaganda in this sense is traceuble to certain American oil interests. This denial. however, is not accepted by Wrench writers, who assert that Great Britain's whole object in the Lausanne negotiations is to secure the oll fleld rights already specified in varfous treatics and to guarantes their strategic security and peaceful exploitation by means of an Anglo- | Turkish agreement. | __The story goes that when the | Buropean powers were busy making | claims against Turkey which then seemed to be moribund, Clemenceau, in & careless mood, handed over Mosul to the British because he had never heard of it, and this may be accountable for the Krench soreness. The British claim that it would be just as feasible to safeguard the British oil undertakings under Tur- key as under the native kingdom and that the reasons for the British in- Turkish, the inhabitants hdving twice voted against inclusion under the | Turkish state, Great Britaln being bound up by the treaty not to allenate | the territory 1 Furnisl rain to Bagdad. | While the British contend, on the | one hand, that Mosul is of no value | whatever, to an unaggressive Turkey | confined within Turkish racial limits, on the other hand it is indispensable to Mesopotamia, of which it forms an | integral part Most of the grain which feeds Bugdud is grown there and Bagdad strategically Is indefen- sible without Mosul. The latter contention certainly is sound, and the British would be un- able to stay in Bagdad if Mosul were given up. An influential section of the British press, however, is de- manding the evacuation of the whole country except a small area near the Perstan gulf. Premier Bonar Law, himself, said in connection with both Mesopotamia and Palestine: “I wish to heaven we had never gone there.” The point is that the British want to clear out in their own time and not in the Turk's time, and back of | their attitude is undoubtedly the fear {of the spread of bolshevik influence |to India. The Turks, however, are standing out firmly for the possession of Mosul, and whatever the British suy about oil, the Turks are certainly influenced by the idea of playing off powers one against another for the matter of concessions, thus galning the funds they badly need The situation is not eased from the British point of view by the fact that the disagreement at the Paris con- ference is bound to react unfavorably on the French support of the British resistance to the Turks' claims at Lausanne.

Williams, jr., who was found with his Skult fractured in his home early Wednesday, late today recessed until Tuesday and instructed the police to isummon additional witneses who are expected to enable the jury to de- termine how Williams' skull was frac- tured and hi$ face badly bruised. Williams, who is a son of H. G. Wil- liams, proprietor of the Hotel York New York, was one of the largest au tomobile distributors in the state. His widow, formerly of New York. was the star witness today A majority of the evidence heard |related to what was described as a “wild liquor party” Tuesday evening, Williams, his wife and several others being. named as the principal partici- pants, Widow Describes Party. . Mrs. Williams today described a party at the Williams auto establish- ment, told of her efforts to get her husband home, and denied that either her husband or Percy A. Page had shown signs of any Injuries when they reached home late Tuesday night. Page was arrested on a murder charge soon after Williams died, but was released, after the police had evolved a theory that the automobile man fell or was pushed from a taxi- cab and received injuries which caus- ed his death. A. R. Lambert, out on bail on a manslaughter charge in connection with Willlams’ death, and Thomas S. Hogue, driver. of a taxicab, testified as to visiting Willlams' home and of the latter's attempt to board their car after they had refused to take him, Mrs. Wliillams and Page for a ride. ~ They sald they carried Wil- llams into the house about 1 o'clock, but did not think he was badly hurt. Relates Telephone Comversation. Trafic Officer Spencer testified of a_ telephone conversation between Williams and Mrs. Willlams Tuesday in which the couple gquarreled and Willlams called his wife ugly names. Detective Leon Norwitsky told the fury that Page admitted to him that he had a friendly argument with ‘Willilams and that they had scuffled, {but claimed that they were ths very best of friends. Willlams and Percy Page became drunk between 2 and 5.30 p.m. on the afternoon before the death of Williams, J. M. Hubbard, a friend of Willlams declared while on the S Hubbard r. Hul testified that he went to Williams' establishment at 2 p.m. on the day before Willlams' death and that Mr. Page and Mrs. Williams were there. None in the party showed signs of intoxication, he said. Says Both Were Drunk. . But when he went back ai 0 Willlams was drunk and Page was drunk. After ordering supper for Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hubbard said he went away. Thomas S. Hogue, a taxi driver, gave an account of his response to two calls from Willlams on the night pre- ceding the latter's death and Arthur Ruff Lambert, charged with man- slaughter in 'connection with the death’ of Willlams, told what hap- pened ~when he went there with Hogue about 12:30 or 1 o'clock Wed- nesday morning. ~Lambert said he had previously been to the Williams Bouse. ‘When he and Hogue arrived, Lam- bert said, Willlams answered the doar and wanted to go with them for a ride. Lambert said he and Hogue then got into the car and argued with Williams, trying to persuade him to give up the idea of a ride. ‘When the car. drew away, Williams fell, according to the witness.

Former Ambassador Predicts Dem- ocrats Will End Isolation When in Power “Two Years Hence.” By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, January 6.—President Hurding is deeply concerned over the grave turn of events in Europe re- sulting from the collapse of the co ference of premiers in Paris, Senator- elect Simeon D. Fess of Ohio told the Natlonal Republican Club today at discussion of present foreign polie: Mis address was interpreted y many as an intimate revelation of the administration’s position in the criti- cal period. particularly an assertion that “we should not foster the call- ing of an economic conference.” “We thought a commission of ex- perts to pass on the facts in relation fons might be welcome.” he said, “but the suggestion was not ! welcome and it seems to me the door is now closed. Therefore, what we | may now do ix not very encouraging.” Senator Fess drew the fire of Henry Morgenthau, former ambassador (o Turkey. when he said: “We believe that the financing of { Europe should not be done by any action of the government, but by American business.” Dubs 1t “Passing Buek.” Speaking as a democrat. Mr. Mor- genthau termed the proposed non- official reparations commission deliberate attempt by the republican administration to pass the buck at this critical period in the world's af- fairs to the business men of America. Mr. Morgenthau spoke frankly to the republicans in defense of former President Wilson's policy He pre- dicted his party would return to pow- er in two years and would find a way to participate actively in European affairs. “The republican party,” he said, “is attempting to poison the minds of the | American people against the league of nations and the peace treaty inj 1918, until both have become the foot ball ‘of politics to an extent that has tied the hands and feet of the nation, so that it is powerless now to act though its own safety and the fate of civilization are at stake in the present crisis through which western Europe is passing.” Albert W. Krech, president of the Equitable Trust Company. another speaker, held the view that perma- nent peace in Europe could be es- tablished only by putting the cur- rencies of all European nations on a | gold basis In direct ratio to the pres- ent purchasing power of their exist- ing currencies. Interprets Hughes' Speech. Apparently interpretating & change | the administration’s policy. He d: “It seems to me the voice of!} Hughes In the New Haven speech is to be regarded as a voice from the wilderness proclaiming, ‘prepare ye | the way ‘The American people, he declared.! “had_a moral responsibility in the | world's affairs quite apart from their materfal interests.” nator-elect Fess asserted that “the crisis in western Europe is the question we are all thinking deeply about now."” “I do not know,” he sald, “whether {or not France has closed the door to | us: whether the premiers of the allied nations have barred us from further | participation in Europe’s troubled af- fairs is in doubt. We do know that the French newspapers do not accept our suggestion of having an economic commission pass on the reparations problem. “If that represents the stand of the | French government, then I say that | for the present the door is closed | against the United States and it can- not act.

Tt is not a de- sire to relieve Germany for her own sake, nor to deprive France of needed reparation, but rather a selfish de- mand to assure relief to British com merce and the employment of her unem- ployed. The economic necessity of Britain calls for a rejuvenation of the industrial world. including the central powers and Russia.” All that England is concerned about, he said, is the world’s buying power and she wants it restored at all costs for her own self-preserva- Y rance. on the other hand.” he continued, “sees only the work of devastation, of war's hideous destruc- tion, af the terrorism of German mili- tarism; so she demands that Germany be compelled to make good what the treaty of Versallles specifically gives her the power to collect, with her army if necessaary.” France Fears Rev France cannot contemplate the al-| | ternative of German failure to pay, Mr. Fess asserted. “France sees financial bankruptey in case of German default and worse than financial collapse, she fears ine- vitable revolution in case she agrees to the default when the treaty gives her the “authority to collect it by military force.” Mr. Fess dealt with the G fiscal situation, which he said, fles the world.” He declared the United States could render Europe no greater service than “to notify those countries now, once and for all, that so long as they refuse or delay to put their houses in order. no assistance from us need be expected. ‘Alluding to limitations placed on the debt refunding commission, Mr. Fess said Congress made a very seri- ous blunder when “we tied down the ocommission: to a time limit within hich the debts were to be paid, and withholding from the body the right to modify the rate of interest on those debts” “We must give that body some free- dom,” he added. *“That must be done, and T am not telling tales out of school when I say it will be done.” 1f Germany’s indemnity was placed ; at a figure she could pay, said Mr. Fess, he believed a loan oould be floated for Germany “‘which would find a market even over here. —_— GOLD RUSH ACCIDENT.
