CLASH IMPENDS
IN CONGRESS ON
PRICE CURLING
Hoover Proposal of Official
Action to Prevent Profiteer-
Ing Brings Crisis.
BOTH BRANCHES OPPOSE
Old Guard and Progressive
Element Prepare for Scrap
Over Legislation.
By CLAYTON WHITEHALL,

JHttcd v etCS SE0H correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Early
but distinct rumblings Of an impend-
ing clash between the so-called Pro-
gressive and Old Guard elements Of
the Republican party in Congress
have followed official intimations by
Secretary Hoover that he needs Aegis-
lation to curb coal pro1teers.
This was evidenced when Admins
tration leaders in both branches met
Hoover's suggestions with emphatic
declarations that such legislation.
amounting to Federal price fixing
might be all right in war time, but
#would not be countenanced now.
There viii be no such legislation
seriously considered, much less passed
at this session." one Administration
spokesman said with conviction
Borah Seeks Facts
On the other hand. Senator Borah,
progressive, made public letter he
has written to Secretary Hoover. in
which he says:
1T would seem that the coal strike
Is practically settled, at least, in the
process OF settlement. Judge from
the public press that you feel that the
public needs protection against the
unreasonable prices OF coal g.
It has occurred to me that something
should be and can be done at once
to assist in controlling the prices of
coal in the present emergency and
upon that subject am particularly
interested to have the facts and sug-
gestions-"
Hoover has indicated he would
have his suggestions ready by the end
of this week or the first Of next.
But the Senate, nearing the end Of
its long tariff squabble. is literally
pining for 8 recess. After voting on
the tariff Saturday. there viii be a
determined effort made TO vote a -e-
cess IN order to rest and recuperate
before plunging into the fight that is
certain to come with appearance Of
the bnous bill, the next order of
business.
Nevertheless, Borah is going to
make the fight and is certain to rally
around him other progressives and
\ doubtless men Of the regular" Re-
&publicans who are beginning 20 hear
from home on the question Of price
boosting. These complaints show that
many people, having contracts for
coal at s1.75 to $2.15 a ton found
their contracts scrapped and prices
fixed at $3.50 and up. The average
spot price Of coal on Aug. Z. Borah
said. was s6.1s a ton. as compared
with s2.0s April 3.

LIFE TERMS ARE
 GIVEN AMBl5SHERS
Garland County Mouataircers Plead Guilty to First Degree Murder
 All in Penitent Mood,

Hot Springs Nov. 21-Travis Con- ros, Al Baldwin and Tom Tally, the trio who last Wednesday night form ed themselves into an impromptu band in Marble township to show the Ku Klux they were not wanted in that community" this afternoon stood be- fore the bar of justice a penitent set, and were glad to plead guilty and take life imprisonment under indictment for the killing of Jeff Howell, one of the Klansmen who died half hour after the attack.
 "The sentiment and sympathy that goes out to erring ignorance, to peo- pie of limited opportunities, Circuit Judge Wood, said from the bench, made it possible for him to accept the pleas of guilty and to impose the lighter punishment of life imprison- ment under the murder indictments when the deaAh penalty could be more properly imposed" Prosecuting At torney John Hoslirs called the m n into an anteroom of the courthouse a few minutes before they were arraign- ed. They had no lawyer and said they did not want one They were accompanied by four friends or rela- tives of their own choosing.
 "I understand that you want to en- ter pleas of guilty" said the prose- cutting attorney. Under a plea of guilty, if you make that, I will rec ommend to the court that you be given the lightest punishment possi- ble under the indictment-life im- prisonment. If you want a lawyer to represent you, you have the right, and to make defense before a trial jury. Under such condition you could get, if convicted, either the life or death penalty. Be certain that 'ou know what you want to do."
 Baldwin was the first to speak up. q want to enter plea of guilty and submit to the court, to it's mercy" he said falteringly Tally was soon to ac- ouiesce and Com os added his assent. They had thought it all out, and they wanted life ipmrsioennm ?cshalm- ta wanted life imprisonment with the hope that lies ahead.
