sumed, will accept the offer of Attor-
ney General Daugherty to furnish the
evidence collected by agents of the
department of justice and the serv-
ices of experts in cross-examination
Attorney General Daugherty accom-.
panied his offer of assistance with the
recommendation that Congress pro-
ceed to the inquiry at once, for action
now may stop load of cruelty and
crimes, and worry and anxiety The
earlier and speedier the investigation,
Mr. Daugherty said, the better. Chair
man Campbell, of the Rules Committee
of the House of Representatives has
been keeping in touch with the at
torney general to obtain information
and guidance upon which to found his
report as to the need of congression-
al inquisition.
The death of Louis Grow, who was
stabbed while assisting Sheriff Robert
Buchanan to prevent parade of
klansmen in Lorena, Texas, and the
fear of further tragedies in the south,
have strengthened the demand for the
suppression of the secret organiza-
ton. Senator Borah of Idaho calls

it is known that he and his associates

the inquiry This is an effort to Gre

controversy will be provoked and the
inquiry abandoned .4
