MEET HARDING
ON WET ISSUES

White Sulphur Springs. W. Va.
Dec. 16.-Chief executives of Is
states attending the 14th annual
conference of governors here, were
to leave for Washington after the
final session today for a luncheon
conference with President Harding
at the White house Monday, .p1
sunR6ly On the subject OF pr6hfbf-
ton enforcement.
The president personally ex-
tended his invitation for the con-
ference to the governors over the
telephone last night, but did not in
innate the questions to be dis
cussed. However, as he had
previously announced his intention
of calling the governors to Wash
ington to discuss the liquor ques-
tion next month, the opinion pre-
vailed that either the date of that
conference had been advanced, or
the meeting Monday had been called
as a possible preliminary to the
January session.

FAIL TO find
TRACE OF BODY

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Search for the
body of Mrs. Kate Trostell, whom
police believe to have been muir
dered,' today was conducted in the
Chic1go drainage canal BY tH0par-
ties of police, one dragging the
stream within the city, and the
other exploring it as far as Lock-
port, Ill.
Arthur Foster, held in connec-
tion with the woman's disappear
ance, was in the county Jail, where
he became a prisoner yesterday
when a court order, issued in the
progress of habeas corpus pro-
ceeding, released him from the Gus
tody of police. The court ruled that
Foster must be free by Tuesday
unless evidence sufficient to place
a formal charge of murder against
him is presented.
During the habeas corpus hear
ing, Foster repudiated alleged state
ments made to the police that Mrs.
Trostell committed suicide by
jumping into the drainage canal
after a quarrel with him on the
night Of her disappearance Dec. 2.
Police believe that Mrs. Trostells
body would be found in the canal.

Unless new and unforeseen angles

should develop within the next week,
it is generally presumed that when
the Rock Island county grand jury
recOnvenes next Thursday morning
1t will begin its final session. 1t Is
believed that the state investigators

sentation, and are now directing

tion which will help to fortify the
prosecution of defendants. Not
within the last several weeks has
the quiet of routine prevailed about

Only Chief Investigator H. S.
Mosher remained at his post.
Thomas Marshall Of Chicago, in
dictment expert, who has directed
the grand Jury inquiry, returned to
Chicago yesterday afternoon. He
will be concerned between now and
next Thursday in preparing what
is believed will be the final batch
of indictments, covering not only
the Market Square street battle OF
Oct. 6, but all other matters, par
ticularly on graft, which have been
presented to the grand jury. The

most extraordinary and important
grand jury session in the history of
Rock Island county, just before
Christmas. It is readily believed
that the expected final report will
prove as sensational, perhaps more
SO, than the naming Of former Chief
of Police Thomas Cox in the indict-
ment for the murder Of Bill Gabel.
Avenues of life in Rock Island not
hitherto suspected by the public are
expected to be hit.
In the meantime Cox and Law
renee Pedigo, two of the five de-
PENDANTS named for the murder of
Gabel, are the only ones thus far
drawn into the net by the investi-
cation who are languishing in Jail.
Cox is still confinde in the Moline
city Jail, while Pedigo is pondering
over his difficulties in the Rock Is
land county Jail. The extent to
which the state has been able to
implicate Cox in the Gabel murder
is a matter which has been care
fully guarded, but the supposition
is that the authorities must have
strong evidence against him, other
wise it is not probable that an at
tempt to furnish bond would be de-
layed. ]. A. Hanley Of Davenport
and w. A. Allen of Rock Island, at
torneys for Pedigo, have not at any
time indicated a move to gain their

Mine TRIAL
may END IN
FOUR WEEKS
Hearing of Witnesses Is
Progressing Faster
!, Than Expected.

Marion, ILL.,, Dec. 16.-Attorneys
for both state and defense in the
trial Of five defendants charged
with murder in connection with the
Herrin riot of last June today pre-
dicted the end of the trial by the
middle Of January.
Previous estimates was that the
trial would continue two months.
During the first three days tes-
timony has been given. by more
than score of states witnesses.
During the Saturday and Sunday
recess that was taken last night
the attorneys said they would 60
over their list of witnesses in the
hope Of materially reducing them.
Identify Defendants.
So far the states witnesses have
pointed to four of the five defend
ants as having been seen with guns
in their hands during the riots. but
all have united in the declaration
that they were unable to identify
any Of those as participants in the
shooting.
The defense has not made clear
its case except for the declaration
of A. w. Kerr, chief counsel for the
accused men, that it would prove
an absolute alibi for all of the de-
fendants.

The department found, that in ac-

duct Of the ball. In an endorse
ment attached to the finding the

HOOD ORDER
Society Is Declared to Be-

Prosperity.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va,
Dec. 16.-Kansas will not drive the
Ku Klux Khan out by force Dut will
expel it by refusing to permit 1t to
do business within the state. Gov
ernor Henry J. Allen declared In
an address prepared for delivery
today before the governors con-
ference.
A writ being sought In the Kan
sas supreme court, he said. would
make disappear "the blazing cross
and the pasture parties, where the
men mask themselves and put on q
fantastic ceremony in the open fleld
and terrorize an entire neighbor-
hood"
In Kansas We are seeking to ex-
pell the Khan from the state" Gov
ernor Allen said. Il note by the
press of the country that some mis-
apprehension exists as to just what
we mean by expelling the order,
and the thought has been expressed
that it is the intention Of the state
to drive out Of the state the mem
bers of the Klan.
This is not at all what the ac-
tion in the supreme court pre-
supposes. Under the Kansas law
every organization doing business
there must be chartered. The ,ku
Klux Klan has a charter under the
laws Of Georgia, and the action
pending in the state supreme court
is for the purpose Of securing writ
forbidding the klan to do business
hereafter In Kansas.
1.-THE essence of our opposition
to this organization is not in the
fact that it fights the Catholic
church, or expresses its antipathy
to the Jew or to the negro, but In
the fact that 1t does this under the
protection of a mask and through
the process of terrorism and vio-
lence.
Admits Good Men Join.
at is increditable that this
country should have passed
through its baptism of heroic de.
votion which called it into action
four years ago, only to sag back
now into this most lamentable
species of disorder"
