AS MENACE TO
UNITED STATES
Governors in Session Attack
Secret Order-Clash on
Dry Issue
WANT LIGHT WINES
Governor Morrison of North
Carolina Urges Modifica-
tion of Dry Act
(By the Associated Press.)

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va,
Dec. 15.--State executives attending
the fourteenth annual conference of
Governors here turned from their
conference discussions today to an
inspection of coal mines, near Beck
ley, after engaging at midnight in
the first furry of debate which has
marked the sessions.
Prohibition and the ku Klux Klan
were the two questions which
brought clash of views when the
meeting was thrown open to debate
shortly before midnight after an ad-
dress by Governor Olcott of Oregon,
in which he assailed the Klan as a
national menace.
y Governor Morrison of North Car
olina, declared he opposed introdut-
tion into the conference of either
the Klan or prohibition questions,
which previously had been brought
up by Governor Parker of Louisiana
in an address in which he declared
prohibition was almost farce. and
that the Klan should be curbed by
federal legislation, as two of the
"touchiest questions before the
country" Governor Morrison said, he
opposed their consideration at con-
ference which he believed should ba
devoted to an exchange of ideas Oh
the administrative duties of COVER
nors.
Governor Morrison further declar-
ed he disagreed with Governor Park
er and Governor Olcott on their pro-
posed methods for fighting the Klan
which he said could not be legislated
out of existence but>could be met ef-
fectively only by argument. AS to
Governor Parker's assertion that pro-
hibition was not being enforced and
his opinion that the sale of light wine
and beer should be permitted under
government regulation of it's manu-
facturc and distribution, Mr.. Morrl-
son said he was "astonished" at what
he described as the Louisiana Cover
nor's willingness to surrender to
the "lawlessness among anti-proh!-
bitionists" on the one hand and his
desire to fight what he conceived to
be lawlessness in the Klan on the
other. Governor Parker rejoincd that
he did not conceive his attitude on
prohibition to be a yielding to law
lessness.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Character-
izing the proceeding before the house
judiciary committee as "bare faced
attempt to whitewash Harry NJ.
Daugherty," Representative Keller of
Minnesota, had refused to assist fur
ther in the presentation before that
committee of his impeachment char
ges against the Alto orney General.
Voting to 60 on with the hearings
despite Mr.. Keller's withdrawal, the
committee planned to put him under
oath today and call upon him to
give all the information upon which
he based his charges of "high crimes
and misdemeanors," against MI.
Daugherty. ",.
Representative Keller of Mime
sofa failed to appear today before
the house judiciary committee in
response to the summons served or
him late yesterday after he had re-
fused to participate further in the
progress of his impeachment charges
against Attorney General Daugherty.
Chairman Volstead said the letter
gave no excuse for non-appearance
and directed the sargeant at arms to
call Mr.. Keller's name three times.
This was done, but without response.
After discussion as to what should
be done the committee voted to grant
Mr.. Keller's request for delay un-
ktil 10:3O a. m. tomorrow.
James A. Vahey, an attorney Of
Boston, handed to Chairman Vol
stead a letter from Attorney Jackson
H. Ralston, announcing that Mr..
Ralston had ben retained as counsel
by Mr.. Keller and asking a postpone
ment of further proceedings until to-
morrow.
Mr.. Keller's refusal to assist fur
ther in the proceedings came la:e
yesterday as dramatic climax to
the third day of the hearings. He
had prepared statement to read to
the committee, but he never got the
opportunity. Several members want
ed him put under oath while othe'
wanted to know if it was his purpose
to "lecture" the committee.
Refusing to be put under oath,
Mr.. Keller replied to the inquiries
that he might lecture the member
To that he added demands that he Do
heard. Chairman Volstead repeated
ly broke into the general hubbub to
order Mr.. Keller to "sit down" ard
to inform him that he could nc
"bullyrag" the committee.
Thrown Into Uproar
Advancing to the chairman's place
at the "bend" of the horseshoe shap-
ed rail behind which the committee
men sat, Mr.. Keller threw his pre-
pared statement in front of Mr.. Vol
stead and dramatically announce
that if he could not read it to the
committee. he was through with the
proceedings. Then he stalked fro,
the committee room, which has been
thrown into an uproar with attachea
in the huge office building arriving
on the run from several direction
to find out what was causing all tn
excitement.
Meantime Chairman Volstead haG
ordered the clerk to issue subpoena
for Mr.. Keller so that he might he
placed under oath and questioned
There was demand that he be eH
amined at once, but finally it wa
decided to defer that until this morn
ing. The summons later was served
on Mr. Keller in his office.

PETITION FOR
JURY RECALL
TURNED DOWN
Supreme Court Rejects Mat.
ter Presented in Burleigh
County Affair gl
SUSTAIN JUDGE COFFEY
States Representatives I'm,
certain How to Proceed in
Some Criminal Cases =
SUSTAIN JUDGE COFFEY

The supreme court has rejected
the petition Of the attorney-general
and states attorney Tor an order
directing Judge James A. Coffey to
recall the Burleigh county grand
jury, it was announced by the clerk
Of court today. There was no state
ment beyond the formal announce
ment Of denial, nor opinion. it not
being the custom of the court to
render a formal opinion in such
cases.
The action followed lengthy con-
sideration in conference by the
court, both yesterday morning and
yesterday afternoon, decision being
reached after o'clock last evening.
The petition was carried to the
court after Judge Coffey had dis
charged the grand jury, holding
that the order preferred by attorneys
for drawing Of the jury was illegal
in that it provided for a body Of
men whereas under, the statutes
both men and women may sit on the
jury. When the jury was drawn the
names Of two women were set aside.
The jury had been called on petit
ton Of over 700 residents of the
county, and it was expected that it
would inquire into the recent elec-
tion in Burleigh county.
Coffey Sustained
In taking the matter to the sup
rene court, Attorney-General. Svein-
bjorn Johnson and States Attorney
F. E. McCurdy asked the supreme
court to exercise it's supervisory
power over inferior couts, held that
Judge Coffey had erred in his deci-
son. Affidavits by them and by
John Burke, special assistant at
torncy-general, held that there was
grave necessity for the grand jury.
The bungling Of the grand jury
procedure leaves many cases in an
uncertain status. They include
murder case against Kasmir Schnid-
er, an embezzlement case, liquor
case against Jack Bennett, an arson
case and others. In ordinary course
of events they would have been
tried at this term Of court on infor.
nations filed by the states attorney
and hearing by a committing magis-
trate. However, when the grand
jury was called the matters were
held for the grand jury, and when
the, grand jury was dismissed repre-
sentatives of the state asked for
advice on how, to proceed, indicat-
ing they doubted what procedure to
follow.
Cases Pending
There were four criminal cases
on the beginning of the calendar,
but we're passed over at the begin
ming Of the term so that States At
torney McCurdy could give his at
tention to the grand jury. They in
cluded cases against Charles Walt
ers and Mrs. Walters charged with
keeping and maintaining a common
nuisance and against John and
Annie Bennett on a similar charge.
An affidavit filed by Attorney
General johnson and States At
torney McCurdy in the supreme
court case said that "there is
serious question affecting the right
of the public as to whether under
such circumstances the said defend
ants can be tried on information"
