Stirs Up Great Bend Au-
dience by Emphatic
Political Talk
SU UGGESTS OUTLAWRY
"And Men Go Out" He
Said, "In Disguise for
Revenge"
(By Associated Press)

Great Bend, Kans., Oct. 31.-One
pistol shot could produce a state of
civil war in Kansas similar to that
in khan, according to Governor Henry
j. Allen, who continued his attacks
on the Ku Klux Klan here yesterday.
= His speech was part Of series
of political addresses in his pre-elec-
tion tour, but the latter portion of it
was devoted to a denunciation of the
religious bigotry and community hat
red.
Voicing opposition to the khan,
no tonly because of Its attitude to-
ward some community questions, but
|also because of the manner in which
its activities are said to be carried
out, the governor told his audience:
GAS a fellow American having the
same impulses that you have, I am
opposed to the khan, because it sug-
gests terrorism and outlawry and by
use of disguise, men having a desire
ito revenge themselves, go out and
SAY: "W evil go out and thrash this
fellow"
Pointing out that he was not con-
demning the khan from any personal
beliefs or prejudices, the executive
said: Il am not against your organ
ization because you don't like the
Catholic church"
Il am not a Catholic. / am a
Methodist and thirty degree
Mason and Knight Templar. l be-
long to all of these organizations. I
belong to everything except the
Knights of Columbus and the Ku
Klux Klan."
After drawing comparison be-
tween the conditions in Kansas and
those in Ireland, and telling of re-
quests his office had received from
Men to be allowed to arm to defend
themselves, because they were
frightened" the governor asked:
"Do you want turned loose nj this
state the horrors of civil war;"
"God forbid such a war, and yet
what can you suggest to the negroes
OF the state, in some communities of
which there are thousands, when the
old K6 Klux Klan that terrified them
fifty-five years ago, is again riding
at night. Can you expect them not
to take any means whatever to pro-
tect themselves?
"Ireland is fighting over a quarrel
that is eight hundred years old, but
we curbed it in American when we
wrote into the constitution that all
men should have the right to wor-
ship God according to their own
ideas"

Mexico City, Oct. 31.-Commercial
relations between the Mexican gov
ernment and all persons and all
groups of persons residing in New
York state were under suspension to-
day until further notice. as the result
of instructions sent to the depart
ment of the interior late last night BY
President Obregon.
The president also had the various
Mexican state governments instruct
ed to refrain from commercial inter-
course with New York firms. The
immediate cause of his action was
the writ of attachment obtained
agains tthe Mexican consulate in
New York city in civil action
brought by the Oliver-American
Trading company. (This writ was
ordered lifted last night by Supreme
Court Justice Tompkins at Nyack,
IN. Y. News of the lifting of the
writ was filed to Mexico City at
about the same time that dispatches
telling of President Obregon's action
were sent out from the Mexican cap
ital.)
President Obregon's order, he said(
was also prompted by other matters.
Among these he mentioned that the
New York courts had not permitted
the Mexican government to obtain
government to obtain redress there
on contracts such as those made for
the purchase of boats by General Sal
vador Alvarado, when he was secre-
tary Of the treasury. At a later
date, President Obregon's instruc-
tions pointed out, the. courts of New
York permitted the Mexican govern
ment to be sued and it's consulate
closed, whic haction he held to be
contrary toainternational law.
Coupled with his instructions last
night was the announcement that he
mad ordered the foreign office to ap-
ply Article 33, pertaining poincious
foreigners, to Howard L. Oliver,
president Of the Oliver-American
Trading company, should he attempt
to return to Mexico Gity.
Oliver, said President Obregon's
announcement, "has abused the ira

realized during his operations here

Formal orders for re-opening the

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 81
The credibility of Mrs. Jane Gibson
who says she was an eyewitness OF
the murders of the Rev. Edward
, Wheeler Hall, rector of the Episcopal
Church of st. John the Evangelist
and his choir leader, Mrs. Eleanor
Reinhardt Mills, was subjected to
criticism again today. Authorities
continued their investigation into her
Ipast, following reports that instead
of being the widow of a. Clergyman
she is the wife Of William H. Easton,
who works in New Brunswick and
drives to and from her farm in a
small automobile.
Mrs. Gibson insisted that the re-
ports were untrue. She denied she
has a husband or that she is the Mrs.
Gibson whose husband, John, a rail-
,road worker, died some years ago in
Kentucky. Easton said he chad moth
ling to say" when asked if she was
his wife. "It's an amazing story"
he said, commenting on her eye
witness statement" She has brill
liant mind"
"You tell me the officials are in
vestigating the story of my life,"
Mrs. Gibson said. "Well, don't care.
Il know | am here in New Brunswick
and l witnessed the murder of DR..
hall and Mrs. Mills. What difference
does it make whether l have past
or not?"
Special Attorney General Wilbur
A. Mott, has made no move to pre-
sent Mrs Gibson's story to the grand
jury. He said, however, that he'had
found nothing which would tend to
discredit her account of the murders.

Chicago, Oct. 31-Majority of tht
United States Railroad Labor Boart
We're condemned for their Giving

public today by A. o. Wharton, one
of the three members of the boards

on the wage decision for maintenance
of way workers brought forth the
Giving wage" repoiner by the major.
ity members Sunday.
Mr.. Wharton declared the majori.
ty opinion of the railroad and public
groups was "fallacious" and contain
ed "untr1ths."
81 was not permitted to see the ma
jority statement before writing my
dissenting opinion" he said. "Now
that have read it, find that in some
places it presents alleged arguments
on their face are impossible.
"The majority statement speaks OF
a $20,O00;000 increase it has given
the maintenance of way men. On
the same method of figuring, it cut
their pay $50,0O0,000 in the July
first decision, so the railroads are
still $30,000,000 to the good.
"It speaks of the cost of living, but
it does not explain how a laborer can
support himself and his family on $51
a month.
at does not explain that the imita-
ton pay increase if granted means
only 16 cents day for each man.
at says nothing of the poor men
who live in shacks, box cars and box
es set up on four posts.
"I openly urged the majority to
have an unbiased committee sent into
the sections where these laborers live
to find out the truth about their liv-
ing.
"The majority tries to make the
public believe that I would have la
borers given pay on which they could
ride in an automobile this year and
an airplane next year.
II asked only that a man be given
pay that brings decency with it, that
Americans been abled to live as Am
ericans and enabled to live in respec-
liability in their own environment,
and a coming to their own lights, not
in the environment of the wealthy.
"The majority says the average for
those men on through roads is 25
cents an hour and 81 cents on other
lines. Then it says that the Is cent
men get more pay than the 81 cent
men, when considered in relation to
living conditions in the respective
territories"
The 25 cent men are mostly ne
gToes and Mexicans in the southeast
so the majority admits that it gives
these Mexicans more pay than it does
native born Americans. How, in eyes
of God or man, can the majority JUS
tify.
"The majority does not distinguish
between pauperism and opulence. it
pretends that what labor terms
living wage means onulerce, Labor
does not ask opulence, it asks only
American decency.
"The majority charged that the mi
nority in dissenting opinion last
spring had advised the employees to
strike against the decision Of the
board and had issued ineendiary ar.
guments to the employees
"Then we wished to mako oar pot;-
ton clear publicly we were refused
the right of official publication.

to keep pushing wages downward
