It sometimes happens that It is nee
essary to get some gasoline from the
Gasoline Tank, and for various rea-
sons 1t cannot be drawn off at the
Carburetor or from the bottom of
the Tank When this happens there
are two ways you can get the gas.
If you are carrying a tire pump
take a large piece of rag and wrap
it around the hose of the pump /:
then take off the cap on the main
gasoline tank and jam the end of
the hose with the rag wrapped
around II into the tank gasoline
filler hole. Now pump hard and
soon the pressure Of air In the tank
will force the gasoline up into the
Vacuum Tank and down into the
Carburetor, where It can be drained
off. If necessary.
If you have not got a pump then
roll up a handkerchief and tie
piece of string to it and drop it into
the tank, afterwards pulling it out
and squeezing the gasoline out.

N 'K0IN IS NOT
WORRYING c OVER
MURDER CHARGE
n Know | Shall Establish
MY Innocence" Former
Mayor of Mer Rouge, La,
TeIls Newspaper Men

Baltimo~e, Dec. 2S,--Attorney
Robert r. Cannon, counsel for DIR.
b. NJ. McKoin, former mayor Of
Mer Rouge, La, declared today he
would appeal to Judge John c.
Rose Of the federal circuit court
Of appeals for q writ Of habeas
corpus, should Governor Albert
Ritchie of Maryland grant the re-
quest of Governor Parker of Louis
lana for the return to that state of
Or. McKoin. DR.. McKoin, who is
being held here for the murder of
Watt Daniels and Thomas Rich
ards, following the Morehouse par
ish kidnapings Of last August, was
denied immediate release today on
a similar writ, obtained in city
court yesterday.
Three Hear Arguments
Three judges heard arguments on
the writ. Assistant States Attor-
ney G.. L. Clark read a telegram in
court from Governor Parker ad-
dressed to Governor Bitchie ask
ing the latter to delay the hearing
pending the arrival of eXtradition
papers. Chief Justice James p.
Morter, In announcing the decision,
said:
I'VE find tina tthe charge is of
such Serious character that we be-
lieve the traverser should be held
until the authorities of Louisiana
have an opportunity to present the
proper papers. The traverser Is
remanded to the police without
prejudice"
The deputy sheriff of Morehouse
parish, who has with him an affi-
dayit and the extradition papers,
is expected to arrive hero some
time tomorrow.
Meanwhile, DR.. Hugh II. Young,
with whom DR.. McKoin has been
associated at the Brady Institute
of the Johns Hopkins medical
school, telegraphed Governor Par
ker and Attorney General Coco of
Louisiana protesting the doctor s
innocence.
Praised the Klan
Although DR.. McKoin has re-
peatedly denied he was a member
of the Ku Klux Klan, Governor
Parkers telegram refers tc him as
"a leader Of the Ku Klux Klan at
Mer Rouge" DIR. McKoin stated
he has never been asked to join
thei organization. He praised the
khan, however, for its good work
in Kidding Mer Rouge of many un-
desirables, and for its aid in maxi
ing good citizens out of men who
undoubtedly would have landed in
Jail sooner or later"
DR.. McKoin, who was In court
the proceedings, was
not asked to testify. In answering
men today, he said:
II am not worrying at all about
this murder charge which Governor
Parker has ordered me arrested
on. l know l shall establish my
innocence to the satisfaction of all
the better class OF citizens who are
of law and order"

45 PERSONS ARE
IMPLICATED IN
KIDNAP INC CASE
Two Confessions Are Re-
ported to Have Been
Made in Connection With
the MorehouSe Murders

Bastrop, La, Dec. 2S (by the AS
ISOLATED Press) Forty per-
sons were implicated in the More
house kidnapping and murders of
last August, according to two con-
fessions reported late today as de-
livered by department Of Justice
men TO state authorities at New
Orleans.
The states legal office at New
Orleans declined to comment on
the subject stating they would nei-
ther deny nor affirm it.
The confessions will not be made
public, 1t was regarded here, until
the open hearings begin at Bastrop
in January.
Immunity for Signers
It was stated the signers OF the
confession have been granted i'm
munity by the state and are being
secreted along with other witnesses
and will be called upon to testify.
However, it is regarded here as
probable the arrests of some or all
the men named will occur before
the opening hearing begins.
One indication that the state is
prepared for some activity is seen
in the order issued today to the
national guard company at Mer
Rouge to be prepared to move at
short notice. These troops were
stationed there to hold down a
possible outbreak among the citi-
zens of that community who are
IN hostile camps and were also as
signed to assist the civil authori-
ties in making arrests.
The suspects are reported as un-
der constant surveillance Of secret
service men and no difficulty was
anticipated in locating those who
are designated for arrest.
Course Is Charted
At New Orleans today the gov
ernor of the state, the attorney
general. his staff of legal assistants
and four department of justice men
were mapping out the future
course in the Investigations into the
death of two men, believed to have
been victims Of a rooed and
masked mob.
What occurred at the morning
session of the executives was not
disclosed, At its conclusion the
governor announced he would
leave for Baton Rouge and would
not attend the night session. It
was known that volumes OF evil
dence were gone over.
Friends Of former Mayor DR.. B.
NJ. McKoin of Mer Rouge, were
disappointed today when they
learned he had been denied bail
at Baltimore where he Is under
arrest on a charge Of murder IN
connection with the case. His
friends had promised to put up
any amount of bond necessary A
fund is being raised in this and
adjoining parishes to be used in !
defense OF the physician.
Charged With Murder
In the meantime, deputy sher-
tff, armed with a warrant charg-
ing McKoin with murder was en-
route to Baltimore. This deputy |
arrested T. ]. Burnett, former dep
,lty sheriff, last Saturday, and !
placed him In the Bastrop jail.
Sheriff Carpenter said today he |
expected that McKoin would Join
in the parish Jail here by
The Jail is being guarded
by state troops. Machine guns are
trained on 1t.
District Judge Odom today an
nounced that action on the appli-
cation for a preliminary hearing
made by Burnett would not be
taken until next week.

This is the last of my notes for Postal
Improvement Week. | have embraced
the opportunity offered by the campaign
IN telling you some Of the things | believe
would improve the postal service of Saint

found Of interest to discuss, but time and
space are limited. The newspapers of
this town have bf IN more than accomoda-
ting in placing t cir valuable columns at
disposal during the past days. and | de-
sire to thank them very heartily for their
cooperation and interest, which | know
will be appreciated by the Postmaster
General and without which publicity me-
ceSsaly to any success for the week could
not have been attained. Postal Improve
ment Week is over; the privilege of ad-
dressing you under this caption is gone.
but the effect it may have had for good
will remain | trust, and bear fruit. Pos
tai improvement Week has been a good
stimulus to US all, to the workers in the
post office and the patrons outside. Let
US not forget it. In order that its memory
may be kept fresh and the spirit of it
perpetuated, | propose to issue a weekly
post Office letter to appear in the local pa
papers about every Thursday, to cover an
interesting field of activities in our work
with you along those lines w~here"you
will, if you have net already begun to do
so. develop some personal interest in
what's going on behind the screen as
we'll as in what you see outside. Hitherto
the laying down of suggestions and ideas
for improvement has been from u side
only. We want to hear from you. Let
Us have the benefit of your opinions, let
US know what you think would be prScti,
cal, what would add some benefit to pre-
sent methods and rules. Anything that
is humqnIy practicable and permissible
according to law, will be given careful
consideration and if it cannot be put into
practice you will know why. Let US get
your suggestions. Perhaps you have some
better ones than we have. This postal
service is yours. The Postmaster General
says it was established and is maintained
for the benefit and use ''of the people. bv
the people, and for the people," Come
forward and air your grievance whenever
you have one or think you have one. A
better understanding between the service
