of which he has personal knowledge
water rights have been granted for
certain creeks as long as 30 years ago.
These water rights are not now utilized
by settlers of the land that have come
in Mt Il later period. He advocated the
enactment of a law that would require
that water rights be re-recorded at
certain intervals or lapse, so that other
land holders could utilize the water if
they wished This situation applies

Many of the executives then pre-
pared to leave for Washington 70 ac-

pressed the hope that the efforts of
the attorney general of Kansas to oust
the khan from that state on the ground
that it was operating without char
ter would be successful
Khan Not LaWiess
Governor Morrison Of North Caro-
lima said that although the organization
aroused religious feeling, he did not
believe it was responsible for violence
in his state. He asked Governor AL
len whether the klan ever had indorsed
manifestations of lawlessness or had
done anything to stop them.
Governor Allen replied that every
member of the organization believed he
was doing noble work When lawless-
ness developed. he said, the klan would
disavow it and then give $50 to a
"ioose- -mouthed preacher who would
thank God for the klan.' He said he
was ashamed that the Boy Scouts i'll
st. Louis had not rejected a gift of
S2J 900 from the klan, SO that they
could claim 100 per cent Americanism. .
Governor 0lcott Of Oregon asked il
Kansas had sent troops to suppress the
klan during the railroad strike. Mr..
Allen replied that he was ready to do
so. but that such action did not become
necessary.
Would Refuse Charter
Governor Olcott then asked what
means Governor Allen thought would
prove most effective in curbing the so
ciety, and the Kansas executive said
he favored filing the names of mem
bers with state officials and refusing
to grant charters to the organization.
The governors were asked by Gov
ernor Olcott to sign q petition urging

MAY CITE KELLER
FOR REFUSING To
GIVE TESTIMONY
Committee Votes to Proceed
With Daugherty Impeach-
ment Probe.

Washington. Dec. 16.-What action
should be taken as a result of the re-
fusaI of Representative Keller, repub-
lcan. Minnesota, to appear and tes-
tify as to his impeachment charges
against Attorney General Daugherty
WILDE considered Monday by the house
judiciary committee.
For a second time, Mr.. Keller failed
to respond to formal subpoena
served on him after his dramatic with
drawal Thursday from further partici-
patton in the proceedings before the
committee. Some members wanted to
certify the case to the house immedi-
ately with a view to contempt pro-
ceedings there. but others were not so
certain that the committee had all-
thority to do so, since Mr.. Keller had
served formal notice through his coun-
sci that he stood on his right as a
member of the house. 1t was his po-
sition that the committee clearly had
exceeded its constitutional powers in
issuing the subpoena, which, it was
contended, carried back of it the threat
that if he did not appear, Ne would be
cited for contempt.
Slow Action Urged
Representative Graham of Pennsyl-
vania, ranking republican on the com
mittee, insisted that the right of the
committee was plain and that it should
act at once Representative Summers,
democrat, Texas, and other members
held however that there was no prece-
dent so far as they could find and that
the committee should consider the mat
ter deliberately. Chairman Volstead
also counselled against too hasty action
and. after arguments, it was decided to
put the matter over until Monday.
At the same time, the committee
voted to resume hearings on the i'm
parchment charges next Tuesday Wit
nesses will include Representatives
Woodruff of Michigan and Johnson Of
South Dakota, republicans, who have
attacked the attorney general in the
house for alleged failure to prosecute
war fraud cases vigorously. 1t also
was stated that the committee would
examine officials of the department Of
Justice who have handled cases cited
in Mr.. Keller's specifications against
the attorney general.
Chairman Volstead declared it was
the purpose of the committee to get
all the facts it could about the charges
despite the withdrawal of Mr.. Keller.
He said Mr.. Keller's charges that the
committee had been packed We're un-
fair and unfounded and other members
denied the allegation of the Minnesota
member that there was an effort to
"whitewash' Mr.. Daugherty.

MISTAKES TO AVOID
WITH POTATO SALAD
Overlooking or Too Much Stirring
Is Harmful.
Evenly Cut Small Dice Are More At
tractlve Than Large Chunks
Introduce Onion Flavor by
Squeezing Juice Out.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
In making potato salad 1t is well to
avoid overlooking the potatoes. also to
avoid too much stirring, or the salad
will be mushy and unappetizlng. Small,
evenly cut dice are more attractive
than large chunks of potato, advises
the United States Department of Agrl-
culture. Cold boiled potatoes can be
used when on hand, or the potatoes
may be cut up raw and freshly cooked
until Just done. Onion flavor may be
introduced by squeezing the juice over
he cooked hot potatoes. This Is more
acceptable to many persons than bits
of chopped onions occurring in the
salad. The potato may be mixed with
French ~mayonnaise, or boiled dressing,
while stu bot, Care should be taken
to avoid using too much vinegar IN the
salad, A tablespoonful of chopped
parsley or diced cucumber is a pleas
ing addition, while chopped celery or
radish, diced hard-boiled egg, canned
sardines, capers, sour pickles may all
be used with good results.
A well-llavored potato salad may be
made by cooking a tablespoonful of
finely chopped onion in bacon fat until
tender, then adding a tablespoonful of
chopped celery and two cupfuls of
sliced raw potatoes. All should be
covered with water In a skillet and
cooked down till the potatoes are doHe.
Use French salad dressing and mix in
about two chopped hard-bolled eggs.
Sardines may be added If liked. Serve
hot or cold.

HIGHER FUEL VALUE OF FATS
Butter and Cream Are Most Important
in Diet of Growing Children
Nuts Are Good.

Fats and fat foods. such as butter,
lard, suet, table and cooking fats, oil,
bacon, salt pork, pork sausages. choc-
olate, cream, and all nuts. except the
chestnut. have a higher fuel value as
a class than any other group of foods.
Fats add flavor and richness to the
diet, but since they are such concen-
trated fuel foods. are often used in ex-
cess of the amount needed. MIX fat
is a particularly rich source of vita
mine A. Butter and cream are therefore
far more important than most other
fats In the diet of growing children.
Some of these fat foods, for example,
chocolate and nuts, contain generous
proportions of protein and mineral
substances.
