9 Months Loans
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-Legisla-
tion making it possible for the farmer
to borrow from the farm loan banks
for nine months, and in individual
sums up to $4,000 was advocated to-
day in a legislative policy adopted by
the National Council of Farmers Co
operative Marketing associations at a
meeting in convention here. Agree
ment on a program of specific needs
in rigid credits legislation to have
the support of the organization was
sought in throwing open to general
discussion a report on the subject
from the committee on cooperative
financing and rural credits.
The councils recommendations
we're expected not to take the shape
of definite drawn bill but rather to
embrace what it conceives to be the
essentially constructive features in
the mine measure now pending in
Congress. Discussion and adoption
of report on the committee on or
ganization also was on the final sess.
ion program.

Art Exhibition

WARSAW, Dec. 16.-Gabriel Naru-
towicz, president of Poland, was assas-
sinated today NJ. Narutowicz was
killed while visiting an art exhibition.
The assassination occurred exactly
at noon. The president was shot, dy-
ing a few moments later. NJ Marc
tuwica, was killed by an artist named
Niewadmoski, who fired three shots.
Every shot took effect.
Niewadomski the assassin, has long
been regarded by his associates as
mentally deranged, and his act is look
ed upon as due to the motivation OF his
disordered mind, rather than as the re-
suit OF definite plot against the life
OF the newly elected president.
News of the tragedy spread like
wildfire throughout the capital, eyok-
ing expression of horror, from all in
Guiding the political enemies of the
martyred executive.
Gabriel Narutowicz was born in 1865
in Telaze, which is now within the bor-
bers of Lithuania and was educated at
Libau, the technical institute of Pet
rograd, and the polytechnic institute
at Zurich
From the Zurich institute he receiv-
ed a diploma of engineer of water
power. In this profession he prac.
tired in France, Spain and Switzer-
land. He was recognized as an expert
in this line and after the World war
was appointed member of the inter.
national commission for the utiliza.
ton of the Polish government, in June
1920, when he was given the port.

stockholders in the corporation, and

through the appointment of perman-
ent receiver, was drawing to a close

ment of the taxes on the property o.
the company, failure to collect the
debts of the company and failure to
collect rental from the assets Of the
defunct Lorraine Car company to the
amount of $3,400.
In the effort to establish the fact
of the insolvency of the defendant cor
poration, the attorneys for the plaintiff
have introduced evidence showing that
the present assets of the company are
approximately $4,000 but that their
liabilities, including both preferred and
common stock obligations, as well as
first prior claim debts, amont to more
than $4,000.
Another point brought out in the evi
dence introduced on the point of insolv
ency is that the company las failed tC
pay its dividends for the past Is
months and that it has not retired the
the regular installment of preferred
stock as agreed. The amount of this
| installment remaining unpaid is $500

KANSAS SEEKS WRIT
TO FORBID KU KLUX
BUSINESS IN STATE
CRv Associated Pressl

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va, Dec. 16.-Kansas will not drive
the Ku Klux Klan from the state by
force BUT will expel it by refusing to
permit it to do business within the
states boundaries, Governor Henry j.
Allen declared in an address prepared
for delivery today before the COVER
nors' conference.
a writ being sought in the Kansas
supreme court he said, would make
disappear "the blazing cross and the
pasture parties where the men mask
themselves and put on fantastic eere-
mony in the open field and terrorize
an entire neighbornoOd."
To ExpeI Order.
"In Kansas we are seeking to expel
the khan from the state" Governor
Allen said. 81 note by the press of the
country that some misrepresentation ex-
lists as to just what we mean by ex-
pelling the rider, and the thought has
been expressed that it is the intention
of the state to drive out of the state
the members of the khan.
This is not at all what the action
before the supreme court presupposes.
Under the law of Kansas every organ
ization doing business within the state
must be chartered. The Ku Klux Klan
has a charter under the laws of Geor-
gia, and the action now pending in
the supreme court of the state is for
the purpose of securing a writ forbid
ding the khan to do business hereafter
in Kansas.
"The essence of our opposition to the
/ organization is not in the fact that II
/ fights the Catholic church, or express
La o-,4irafhy- tn hn np IN tho
negro. but in the fact that it does this
under the protection of a mask and
/ through the process of terrorism and
| violence.

us of Minnesota, through whom the
President personally extended his in
vitation for the conference to the
other Governors over the telephone
last night said Mr.. Harding had not
indicated to them the questions to be
discussed. AS the chief executive
however, had previously announced
his intention of calling the Governors
to Washington to discuss the Liquor
question next month the opinion
seem to prevail among those here to
day that either the date of that con
ference had been advanced or the
meeting Monday had been called as !;
possibly preliminary to the Januar!

WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-Formal
notice was given the house judiciary
committee today by Representative
Keller, Republican, Minnesota, that he
would refuse 10 respond to it's sub
poena TO appear and testify under
oath as to the information on which
he based his impeachment charges
against Attorney General Daugherty.
Decision as to what action the com
mittee should take was deferred until
Monday. Representative Graham, Re
publican, Pennsylvania, and several
other members wanted an immediate
report made to the house, with view
to contempt proceedings, but Chair
man Volstead advised that the com
mittee go slowly, and motion to de
fer action finally prevailed.
To Resume Hearings
At the same time, the committee
voted to resume public hearings on
the impeachment charges Tuesday
with Representatives Woodruff, Re
publican, Michigan, and Johnson, Re
publican, South Dakota, as probable
witnesses. 1t was explained that they
would be asked to testify regarding
their charges, that the attorney gen
eral had failed to prosecute vigorous
ly war fraud cases
Since Mr.. Keller's failure to re
spond when the sergeant at arms o.

TREATY OF LAUSANNE
IS BEING PREPARED;
TO BE SIGNED JAN. "a
tBv Associated Pressn

LAUSANNE. Dec. 16.-Draring OF
the treaty of Lausanne now is in pro
gress. The experts are working, how
ever, on clauses that involve no dis
puted points and although the sub
commissions are making rapid pro-
gress it seems impossible that any
complete document can even be ini-
tiated before Christmas.
Rumors now are in circulation that
January "a has been fixed as the ten
tative date for signing the pact.
Any considerable vacation over
Christmas seems unlikely, largely be
cause of Turkeys determination that
there shall be no luH in the confer
ence until definite terms of peace are
agreed upon at least, in principle, or
until it is clear that there can be no
agreement. The Turks have insisted
so vigorously upon continuing work
throughout the approaching holidays
that the other delegations virtually
have abandoned plans for an extended
recess.
Ismet Pasha has been instructed by
his government not to permit any
break in the conference until some
definite decision is reached. Turkey
has 250.000 men under arms and prac-
tically in the trenches. She does not
propose to keep them in suspense un-
necessarily in order 10 allow Europe
an diplomats to spend Christmas and
New Year with their families.
Our soldiers are needed at home
and on the farms and villages which
must be reconstructed and restored, .
said Ismet. 1--WE want to know as soon
as possible whether we can release
them for the reconstruction Turkey
