1t will mean that a Republican

George +. B. Peddy, of Houston,

out to end the hooded horror" of
the klan in Texas. where repeated
outrages, including the tarring and
feathering of women are regarded
as threatening the sovereignty of
the Federal Government.
The decision TO support Peddy

Earl E. budding, of Prisoners
Relief Society, Wants
Veracity Test.

'Fetch out the lie detector,
DR.. Marston," says Earl E.
budding, in his latest epistle
to Gov. E. Lee Trinkle, in which
he makes the strangest PROPOSE
tion that a governor ever faced.
The head of the Prisoners
Relief Society, with headquarters
in this city, has for several
weeks been pelting the governor
of Virginia with letters carry
ing grave charges against the
management of the Virginia
State Prison Farm.
When he visited Richmond two
weeks ago, by invitation of the
governor, for a conference
looking to an investigation of
the charges, budding was set
upon by thugs, beaten up and
driven out of the city of Rich
mond.
Brands Stoy False.
The governor has issued state
ment branding Dudding's story OF
the attack as false, and further say
ing he believes nothing budding
says.
And now comes budding with this
unique challenge:
Dear Governor: l hereby chal
lenge you to a test by the lie de-
tector,' or sphygmomanometer, as
you choose to call it. In your letter
that came Saturday you claim that
I was not assaulted in Richmond.
From where did your opinion
spring?
''In the next breath you say that
you have seen all the witnesses
whose names appeared in the list
that | gave you. l say that Is a lie.
You have not seen any part of those
men.
You say in your letter that you
are done with the Prisoners Relief
Society. think that the society
got done with you first.
II got your number while in PiCh-
mond. l had not talked to you ten
minutes before l knew the wnCle
story.
Again I challenge you to test
by the lie detector.
budding includes in his letter
ernor's arm,
several questions that he is eager
to ask the governor while he has the
lie detector strapped about the gov.

DR.. William NJ. Marston, of the
American University, budding wrote
the governor, will have charge Of the

advantages" budding wrote you

in my opinion. unless you prove it

"Yau say in your letter that the
prison farm cannot be run without
the punishment as inflicted, then
YOU admit that the cruel tortures
as told are true. God pity Virginia.
We are, it seems. going back to the
days of Nero"

The centeral and western cities,
which have always used bituminOu|
coal. will not notice the anthracite
shortage as will New England and
the cast.
A strong protest has been regis
tered with Director Spens from
New York State and New England,
chiefly Boston, because Of an al.
legged excessive price charged for
anthracite and the claim that sec.
lion is now getting Its share Of
hard coal.
Say Canada Gets Coal.
The northeastern States aver that
large quantities of anthracite are
being shipped through that district
TO Canada from he Pennsylvania
fields. They insist that the United
States should get the first chance
at the coal.
AS a result of the controversy
Distributor Spens has detailed r.

and an assistant to Spens, to make
an investigation.

Can Transport Anthracite.
The transportation problem as
pertaining TO hard coal has been
solved, Distributor Spens said. The
fields arc able TO produce but
100000 tons per week which can
easily be handled by the railroads
Working at capacity the mines can
only produce during the fall and
winter 60 per cent of the annual
consumption OF hard coal.
Movement Of soft coal Is still A
problem. The mines are able TO
stay ahead Of the consumption and
are only held back by transporta

an opportunity to get under the lie

even a governor can get on the

wrote, "and I'll meet you and be the

'Show me up to the world or get

budding declares he will not re-
turn to Virginia unless it is between
two United States marshals. He
was promised protection when he
went down in response to an invita-
ton from the governor. He came
back with bruises on his head Ind

then kicked in the ribs.
