Madlll. okla, Dec. 12.-Fifteer
national guardsmen were here today
in connection with a state investi
cation into an alleged gang of auto
mobile thieves operating in Texas
and Oklahoma, according to local
officials.
twenty-five stolen automobiles
were recovered here recently by

thorough investigation of opera.
tions of the alleged band.
Most OF the automobiles had been
stolen from Oklahoma City. 1t was
said, but there was evidence that
the band operated in both Oklahoma
and Texas.
When investigation by state ai-
thorities started, threats were made
on the investigators, causing them
to ask for state protection.
The guardsmen were sent here
from Ardmore, it was said. They
were only lightly equipped. Reports
that machine gun was brought by
the guardsmen could not be verified
Only one arrest has been made in
connection with the alleged auto
thefts. G. e. Lynn, former deputy
sheriff. was allowed bond Of $1,000
on charges of assault with intent to
kill and possession of stolen prop
erty.
Charges of assault grew out of an
alleged clash between Lynn and
state officers a week ago in local
garage.
Ordering of the guardsmen here
last night was a complete surprise
to local residents. 1t was the first
indications that there had been
trouble or that trouble was antici-
pated.
Local authorities resented the
states action, saying there was alb
solutely no cause for investigators
to be alarmed and the situation
could be easily handled locally.
Existence Of the alleged band of
auto thieves was not known by local
authorities it was said, until the in
vestigators appeared.

army airplanes searched an area ex-
tending eighty miles into the state
Of Sonora, Mexico, for Col. Francis
Marshall and Lieut.. Charles w. Web
ber, aviators who have been missing
since last Thursday.
Search was directed into Mexico
following receipt Of permission from
President Obregon and Governor
Elias of Sonora for the planes to
fly across the border.
The only hope for the missing men
now is the possibility that they
landed in the wilds of Sonora and
have subsisted on vegetation found
there, according to officers here.
Planes were also searching the
Santa Rita mountains Of Arizona. II
the plane was forced down in the

chance of it's occupants being alive,

against the French policy as their
predecessors had been.
France came forward with the same
proposal, a movement of troops. The
result was the same old collapse.

unity, but IL will be impossible II
Poincare is still premier of France,
for he will insist on further occupa.
tions. Neither Bonar Law nor Mus.
solini Is disposed to participate in
armed action, both fearing the eco.
nomic effect on the Germans.
In the conference just closed
France was exasperated TO find Bonar
Law scarcely more pliable than
Lloyd George on the question Of
Ruhr occupation.
II is intimated that Britain's will
lingness to discuss cancellation of
debts is contingent on Frances modi
flying its Ruhr policy. Laborite and
liberal memebrs OF parliament are
openly against occupation. The Bo.
mar Law cabinet Is convinced such
occupation would be ruinous econom-
ically.
America was not represented in
the conference, but as Ambassador
Houghton stayed at Claridges hotel,
where Poincare and Mussollni were
stopping, he undoubtedly was kept
confidentially informed of the pro
ceedings and probably reported all
developments to Ambassador Harvey.
Bonar Law is scheduled to eluci-
date the British proposition in the
house Of commons Wednesday.

sIttlna as court Of Inquiry.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Sitting as
the first court of inquiry, the house
judiciary committee met today to
start taking testimony on the reso-
luton of impeachment brought against
Attorney-General Daugherty by Rep
resentative Keller, republican, of
Minnesota.
Indications were that proceedings
will start off with another row be-
tween the committee .and Keller.
The committee wants to take up
Kellers charges in the order they
were made and to hear testimony
first on the allegation that Daugher-
ty has refused to punish violators
of the antitrust laws. Keller was
expected to insist that attention first
be given his charge that Daugherty
has appointed unfit" persons to
high office. The committee probably
will let Keller have his way and in
that case the attack against the at
torney-general will begin with intro
duction of evidence designed by Kel-
Ter to show the "unfitness" OF VIII
