of Night Ride Under
Coercion.

Los Angeles. Aug. 9-The story of
the raid at Inglewood last April wher
one man was killed, was told by the
owners of the raided place in the triaI
Wednesday of Ku Klux klansmen who
are alleged to have taken part in the
affair Fidel and Matthias Elduayeu,
brothers, testified they were dragged
from their house partly unclothed.
late at night, carried about in an auto
mobile for two hours. threatened and
eventually set free six miles from
their homes.
Testimony given through an inter
prefer was interrupted twice by un-
usual incidents, the first being the
clearing of the court room because of
burst of laughter from the spec
tators over an answer by one of the
witnesses. A 20 minute recess fol-
lowed this and the trial had just been
resumed when a young woman spec
tator began to sob violently. AS a
bailiff was leading her from the room.
she became hysterical and screamed
Il want to see a kieagle."
Two klansmen bearing that title
who are among the defendants, said
they knew nothing Of her. Matrons
W y
jury said they found a package con
tanning habit forming drug in her
handbag. She told them her name
was Margaret Sullivan. She was sent
to the psychopathic ward of the
county hospital for observation.
Mattias Elduayn testified that the
enforced automobile ride on which he
and his brother were taken included
visits to two police stations and futile
attempts to have the prisoners locked
up. His cross examination consisted
largely of negative answers to ques-
tions whether he had sold liquor to
his captors before they bound him.
Matthias also denied he told his cap
tors that he had paid $500 to fed
eral official for protection" or 81. 300
to county official and 500 to an
,inarmed person for the same purpose.
Four defendants were asked by their
counsel to stand up, after which Mat
tias was asked if he could identify
them as his captcrs. He said he could
not. Fidel Elduayen said he was arous-
I'd the night of the raid by the entrance
Of many masked men into the room
where he and his wife were asleep. The
ntruders. he said, pointed revolvers
and asked him to get up. He was
taken out, clad only in ,overalls. he
declared. and bound, after which he
vas taken on the trip previously de-
,cribed by his brother.
During the trip Fidel said. "the
nen who were with us asked me where
nv boiler was. told them / had
zone and they could go back and search
nv ranch from end to end for one if
hey wanted to. Then they threatened
o kill me- l heard them talking about
rope and said: That tree won't do.
The other tree is higher After that
hey took us back to IngIewood then !
0 the hills. where they let us go.''
Both brothers said they understood
English slightly but could not com !
,unicate between themselves in that
anguage.

about three months ago. that a prop
erty settlement had been effected pro-

Hart also made public a copy of a

The statement follows:

ILLINOIS bALK
HOLDS UP MOVE
To END STRIKE
Coal Operators Refuse
to Settle Except by Ar
bitration, Report.
Workers and Chiefs at
Cleveland Conference
Favor Settlement.

Cleveland. Aug. 9.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. For a second time the
joint interstate conference Of coal MIN
ers and operators delayed action We'd
nesday to permit the hold-out Illinois
operators to decide whether they would
participate in negotiations that may
end the soft coal strike.
Adjournment was taken until Thurs
day. although virtual decision had been
made by union leaders to negotiate
contract with the operators already en-
rolled in the conference and who con-
troll only part of the coal production
of te central competitiveh field.
As a forerunner to te conference
session Thursday afternoon the unions
policy committee will meet in the morn
ing to pass finally on the question OF O
prospective settlement which would al
feet most Ohio mines and also scat
tered ones in western Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Illinois, those four states
forming the central competitive field.
The committee also expects to consider
extension of the central field to other
parts of Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia.
Sentiment favoring settlement with
the operators here seemed predominant
among the committee members, and was
regarded as forecasting approval of
the union leaders decision. which be-
came known after President John l..
Lewis of the miners had received as
suranc from operators in states out
side the central field o fteir willing
ness to negotiate contracts on the basis
made for that field.
Only a short session marked the con-
ference Wednesday. adjournment being
followed with the announcement that
the delay was to permit certain import
ant operating interests to decide
whether they would join in the nego-
tiations.
Word had not been received at that
time Of the decision of the Illinois
operators association in refusing to
participate unless the union agreed to
arbitration Mr.. Lewis had informed
the Illinois operators that he would
not agree to their demand for arbitra-

LONDON PARLEY
CONCENTRATIONS
Allies Reject Proposals
of Poincare; British
Cabinet Meet Called.
Success of Conference
Depends on Further
French Suggestions.

London, Aug. 9.-(By The Associat
ed Press. The allied premiers vii
| not meet Thursday to discuss German
| reparations. They will gather again
on Friday but whether only for the
purpose of formally adjourning and ar
ranging for further meeting else
where or to consider an entirely new
plan for settlement of the financial
situation in Germany probably will de
pend upon the outcome of the gathering
of the British cabinet Thursday and
whatever new suggestions France may
have to offer.
The plan of NJ. Poincare, the French
premier, submitted on Monday, which
was referred to experts to determine
whether it would result in productive
guarantees" has been rejected by the
finance ministers, who agreed, with the
exception of the French minister, that
it would not be productive of hard
cash"
The report of the experts commits
sion opposed all the French proposals
by majority of four to one. The Bel
gians, however, supported the French
plan of allied control Of state-owned
mines in the Ruhr region. A majority
of the experts branded this proposal az
uccitSS tAttpt dS Il sdHttiOu'
The suggested establishmen of Gus
toms lines between the occupied area
and the rest of Germany and around
the Ruhr regions was rejected as un
desirable. AS recounted by the British
spokesman, the majority of the experts
held that no real moratorium would be
afforded by remitting the present forms
of payment if equally onerous obliga-
tions were placed upon Germany. The
view of all except the French dele
gate was that if any guarantees of this
nature were to be taken it would be
simpler to take over the present GUS
toms arrangement at the German from
tiers than to divide Germany by fresh
customs barriers. The proposal to
seize 60 per cent interest n factories.
especially the dye works on the left
bank of the Rhine, also was declined
on the ground that this could be done
only by compelling the German gov
ernment to buy out the present pro-
prietors, which would involve an issue
of more paper money and a further
aggravation of the German monetary
situation.
On this, the third day. the conference
seemed to be on the shoals. The pre- !
valent belief was that it was not likely |
to survive the present week. The ap- |
parently irreconcilable views on the |
which have been made, main |
" by the French for consideration by |
the experts committee has led most of |
those connected with the conference to |
admit that situation Of extreme grav-
ty has arisen.
SO serious is this situation that Mr. |
Lloyd George was impelled to convene
1 meeting of his cabinet for Thursday
afternoon.
Neither in the work of the confer
,nce itself nor in the many informal
among the principal dele
rates has there been any approach to
In agreement.
