one that two soldiers had been killed.

BLACKMAIL THEORY
IN COOPER MURDER
No Other Reason for Borrow-
ing $4,000 That Vanished.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. Slater
several theories during their forty-eight
hour investigation the police now are OF
the belief that Robin Cooper. whose mu-
tilated body was found Saturday morn
ing in a creek near his home. was the
victim Of a blackmail plot They base
this belief on two facts.
The first Is that on the day of the
tragedy Cooper borrowed $4,000 for a
purpose which his intimate associates
cannot explain. So far as they know
he was in no financial difficulty nor was
he thought to have intended to invest
the money In some commercial enter
prise He was said to be prospecting In
his profession as an attorney.
The second fact disclosed was that
when called from his home Thursday
night by a mysterious stranger just be-
fore 10 o'clock he was heard by his gar
dener to remark in an exasperated tone /:
You could have had more IL you had
asked for It"
When the unidentified man called
Cooper himself answered the bell. and
after a short colloquoy slammed the
door shut. He ran upstairs. kissed his
two children. Robin and William. good
by, descended and went out to the gar-
age. The stranger, who had not been
asked to enter the house. as might have
been expected had he been a friend.
Joined Cooper and another discussion
took place. in which some statement ap-
parently irritated the attorney and his
statement, reported by the gardner. was
made In a raised tone. Both men then
departed into the darkness In Cooper's
automobile and nothing was heard from
them until the blood stained car was
found the next morning half a mile from
the Cooper home.
The police admit they have built up q
possible motive for blackmail, but refuse
to divulge its nature.
For twelve years following his part
in the killing of former Senator Edward
NJ. Carnack Cooper had lived quietly
and with the DESIRE his friends say, OF
regaining the confidence of his fellow
citizens. They could advance no pos
sible theory by which he could have be-
come involved as the victim of black
mall plot.
At the time of the tragedy Mrs.
Cooper, daughter of Milton N. Smith
OF Louisville. was away on a visit to
friends in Evanston. III. She was
promptly notified and arrived here to-
day but could throw no light on the
affair.

PARIS, Aug. 91.--The split in tie So
cialist party caused by the invasion Of
Bolshevist elements can hardly be con-
cealed any longer, for to-day two prom
inent members of the Unified Socialist
party declared their intention to quit.
M. Erich, a barrister' in thu Cou-t
Of Appeals and who was a menu
Der OF the French Military Mission to
Russia. has addressed letter to the
secretary Of this section of the Unified
Socialist party, whose candidate re was
at the elections IN 1919, In which he
says:
st cannot understand that the Unifie1
Socialist party, far from having the
courage TO repudiate and brand the ex-
cesees and crimes of Russian Bolsh= =
vism should, on the contrary. hold it up
as an example to be admired by the
French working classes"
For two years Erlich had intimate
acquaintance with everything that hap
pened in Russia. He attended Soviet
meetings, heard Lenine and Trotzky de-
liver a great number Of speeches and
talked with numerous Bolshevist lead
ers. He speaks Russian fiuently and
this. IL his conclusion:
What know Is that in the economic
and social domains Bolshevism has
ended In an immense catastrophe and
general ruin. 1t is true the Russian
bourseoise Is ruined, but with 1t the
whole national industry has gone to
pieces to the great detriment Of the
Russian proletariat but on the other
hand to the advantage of German in
dustry. Bolshevism has been able to
engender only famine and want In that
Russia which but yesterday fed large
part of Europe"
NJ Neeteux, Deputy for the Seine,
takes a similar course. He writes:
II consider agreement impossible
have always considered a Socialist party
as a group Of propelling action with
view to obtaining better organization of
production by the complete utilization
of all social values. To-day this con-
ception is condemned by the great ma
jority of the party.
THE class struggle, which was in
tended to be only a means. has become
an end and is often replaced by class
hatred, which makes It resemble rather
plebian jealousy than a social principle"

WASHINGTON, Aug. s1.-Prediction

on the bill. that II never will be taken
TO the floor OF the House.
The main objection see to the bill
Is that the soldiers do not want IT,"
Uncle Joe said. IT have not received a
letter from a soldier urging me to sup
port the plan and am sure that other
members have received very few such
letters If there is no more interest in
the plan than that among the soldiers

The whole bill is primarily a recla-

South and arid lands in the West, and
while reclamation Is a worthy proposal
II should not be put through under the
guise of helping the soldiers. The recla-
nation Of much of the land that the
Government proposes to sell to the SOL

project that the soldier would be able
to realize but little on his labors for
many years and probably would become

.COREANS PROCLAIM
NATION A REPUBLIC
Proclamation Issued at Wash
ington by DR.. Syngam
Rhee, President.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S1.-Corean indie
pendence was declared in proclama-
ton to ''the peoples Of the world" issued
here tonight In the name of the Gov
eminent and people of the Republic Of
Corea-" The proclamation was signed
by DR.. Syngam Rhee. President of the
Republic" and J. Kiusic s. Kimm,
chairman Of the Corean commission to
the Peace Conference.
Declaring that Corea was denied free
dom as ''one Of the alleged autonomous
units Of Japanese mock federation"
the proclamation said Japan's recent
promise Of reforms In the Corean Gov
errlment meant only new form of the
cruel. denationalizing and dechristianiz-
ing process under which we have SUI
fered unspeakable tortures."
I'VE make this declaration" the proc
lamation continued, ION the basis Of our
hereditary and unquestionable historic
rights. Corea has been an independent
state and nation for more than 1000
years. Japan has recognized Corea's
independence In every treaty up to and
including the year 1904. Finally, how
ever, Corea was induced to enter into
al tlilduc6 WIN Japan against what was
then regarded as the Russian danger.
Under that treaty we never voluntarily
surrendered any of our sovereign rights.
But the autocratic and miiitaristic Gov
eminent of Japan deliberately broke that
solemn pledge and by cruel application
OF military force made captive our rul-
ers and Government officials. and after
declaring n protectorate over our coun-
try finally assumed to annex the empire
of Corea to the empire Of Japan. But
we refuse to become an integral or COM
ponent part of the Japanese empire in
any form"
From the dawn Of history to the pres
ent time. the proclamation declared,
Japan has exhibited nothing but a
spirit of aggression and cupidity toward
Corea-"
Asserting that the Japanese Govern
ment is wholly unfit" to act leader
for the Corean nation. the proclamation
declared that Japan by making mere
brute force the sole instrument of her
imperial progress has emphasized the
merely destructive agencies of society
In direct contrast with the peace loving
and fundamentally constructive prin-
ciples which the Corean people have
demonstrated to be at the foundation
OF their system of culture"
