STATE LAND BOARD
BUYING SCHOOL BONDS

A large percentage of the s7.OOO.-
600 permanent fund of the state
schools. held under control of the
state board of land commissioners, is
invested in bonds of the various
school districts of the state. These
bonds. for the most part, have been
purchased direct from the districts.
Recently an unusual amount of
these bonds have been redeemed and
the state board of land commission
ers is now placing this money with
school districts in the purchase of
their bonds. Fan investment that is
considered the very safest possible to
make, not excepting even U. s. gov.
ernment securities.

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-Governor
Parker's recent visit to Washington and
newspaper articles dealing with alleged
activities OF the Ku <lux Klan drew
fire in the house today from three Lou
Isiana members. all Of whom were Wig
orous in their denials Of any undue law
lessness In their state, and who were
unanimous In declaring that federal in
terferenca would be resented
Representative Aswell denounced as
''scurrilous, false and infamous" printed
reports that state law In Louisiana had
almost ceased to function, and charged
that ito the humiliation and regret Of
our people. the governor Of Louisiana,
with his Unsuitable thirst for publicity
is responsible for the grave injury done
our state"
Representative Wilson followed with a
denunciation of the ''unwarranted as
saults'' on the reputation of Louisiana
for law and order. and Representative
Sandlla joined him in asserting there
was no necessity for the federal gov
eminent intervening in the state.

CLEAR WAYFOR
ENDING FIGHT
ON ship BILL
Special Resolution Civ
ing Measure Right
of-Way In House
Adopted.
(RY Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.--The road
was swiftly cleared today for an early
end of the house fight over the adminis-
tration shipping bill, which will begin
tomorrow.
A special resolution giving the bin
right of way was put through the house
by vote of 200 to 10. 1t followed party
lines. although three democrats support
ed it and is republicans opposed IT.
Generally speaking. leaders said, 1t did
not indicate the lineup when the house
votes on final passage Nov. %.
Immediately after the action Of the
house, democrats agreed at a party eau
Gus to stand up solidly against the
measure. enactment Of which was urged
yesterday by President Harding in an
address to a joint session Of congress.
One democrat at the caucus-O'Connor
of Louisiana-servad notice that he
would not be bound by the decision. at
the same time announcing he was in
favor of the bill.
The three democrats joining rcpub-
licans in the move to get the measure
before the house were O'Connor, Lea,
California, and McDuffie, Alabama. Re
publicans voting against it were: Beck
Browne, Frear, Lampert. John II. Nell
son end Votst, ell o. Wisconsin,; Bots.
Dickinson. Hui. Kopp. Bowen and
Towner, Iowa; CIague and l. eller, Min
nesota; James, Michigan, and Sinclair,
North Dakota.
Bonus Issue Injected.
Representative London. socialist New
York, stood with opponents. The SOL
der bonus issue was injected into the
debate by Representative johnson, re-
publican. South Dakota, who announced
he would vote to permit the house to
consider the bill. but would not vote for
its passage.
Mr.. Johnson declared no party could
survive that refused to give bonus to
soldiers and then gave bonus to ships.
Sharply contrasting views were pre-
sonted by Representative MondeI. Wy
Onling, th': republican leader, and Rep
resentative Garrett, Tennessee. the
democratic leader
Mr.. Monden asserted that the repub-
ncan administration had not been able
in IS months TO cure the evils left by a
democratic administration, particularly
with reference to the shipping problem
1t was q question. he said, of a con-
structive or destructive policy. Turn
ing to members on the republican side,
Mr.. Mondeu said they could not escape
the responsibility OF meeting the issue
in this congress.
hI NdLLc( uSCid4 Cu IiA1C Ali oN(CulpI-
ing to force the bill through the repub-
lican administration, with the death
rattle in its throat, was running true to
form in favornG the special interests. I"
1t was surprising ne said, that the drive
for the bill should be made Immediately
after the administration had been re-
pudiated and discredited at the polls.
Taking stock tonight after the first
skirmish, republican leaders asserted
- re HFyi%E
least % votes to spare, but they de-
clined to speculate on its chances in the
senate. The view was expressed by
others that, if defeated, it would go
down at the hands Of the republicans.
and that the question OF final enactment
by the house depended upon the fate Of
a raft of amendments to be offered.

Daniel Harrington, United States
mine rescue official stationed here, had
previously sent message to the Pitts
bursh station estimating the dead at so,
with at least that number injured.
State militia is gradually assuming

was stated that martial law might be

According to Treasurer Wilson, many
Of the injured were already at their

that the first warning was when the

his body about. Realizing that an ex-

About this time, he stated. shouts of
other miners were heard ahead of them
and, holding their breath as best they
could, muffling their faces in coats and
clothing, the little band OF men strug
gled onward, finally winning their way
to fresh air ana tnus gaining the entry

to reach the outside with actual news
OF the terrible scenes inside the mine.
They told Of passing over bodies in the

Realizing that a serious accident had
taken place, Jones gathered five white

about Jones. they sat down, huddling
together to await death
Suddenly they heard mans voice

Several of the men yelled at once

DOCTOR GIVES
FIRST Clue IN
DEATHS OF SIX
Bodies Of Parents and
-Four Children Found
Scattered About
Home.
CBy Associated Pressl

LANCASTER, OHIO, Nov. %
Authorities Investigating the
mysterious deaths of Irvine
Henderson. his wife and their
four small children, whose
bodies were found scattered
about their home shortly before
noon today, tonight had their
first tangible clue.
DIR. r. w Mondhank, a local physician.
announced that Henderson had consulted
with him last Friday and several times
since over a mysterious malady which
had affected members of his family, and
had told him that he feared he was being
given poison.
Henderson. who was employed as a
stationary engineer in the Pennsylvania
railroad shops here where the shopmens
strike is unsettled. said he believed he
was being poisoned by those who resented
his accepting employment at the shops.
Dr. Mondhank said. Henderson gave him
the name of man he suspected, the ply
sician declared.
Prosecutor Radcliffe. said he was III
vestigating all angles Of the situation and
was awaiting word from Columbus where
vital organs Of two of the dead persons
had been taken for analysis by the state
chemist.
Investigation was being made tonight
of statements that Mrs. Henderson had
been acting peculiarly for several days.
DR.. Mondhank said he had visited the
Henderson hcme several times recently
and each time Mrs. Henderson had been
sitting with ner face in her hands near
a stove She did not speak to him during
any Of his visits ne said
The supposition that enemies might
have been responsible for the deaths was
strengthened by fears expressed by the
dead man In a letter written to the state
board Of health, and found unsea.ed on
the floor of the Henderson home, that
some one might have gotten into the
house while he was away at night at his
work at the Pennsylvania shops
The letter expressed the belief that
members OF the family were taking poison
into their systems some way. and asked
for advice. The dead man wrote that per
haps the corn meal they had been eating
contained something deadly. and asked
what fee there would be for an analysis

the Greeks and the Turks in ;he future
