Tar and Feather Threat to Gov.
ernOr's Household Here.
Mrs. Allen Told Last Night
Husband Was To Be Handled.
POLICE GUARDED THE HOUSE
But No Effort Was Made to
Mistreat the Governor.
Meanwhile He Goes Right
Ahead With xxx. Campaign.

Efforts to intimidate Governor AL
lens family will not interfere with his
plan to go into Montgomery county,
the stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan.
He plans to direct a broadside at the
Klan activities and leadership in a
speech at Coffeyville Saturday night.
The governor today completed plans
for his speech in spite of recent
threats from unknown sources.
The first move to frighten members
of the governors household with
threats was made Wednesday. night
it became known at the state house
today. Two telephone messages were
received by Mrs. Allen advising her
that the governor was to be tarred
and feathered during the night The
messages came early in the evening
and before Governor Allen returned
from a speaking trip.
Police on Hand.
Origin of the telephone calls is not
known. Information regarding the
calls reached the police, however, and
special plain clothes men and an extra
motorcycle cop were assigned to pa
troll the district surrounding the ex-
eeutive residence at Topeka boulevard
and Eleventh street. Governor Allen
said today that he knew nothing of
the police action, but Mrs. Allen had
told him about the warning phone
messages. Mrs Allen came home
from the hospital ten days ago follow
ing serious operation.
Frequently anonymous letters are
received at the governors office con-
veying threats and warnings. Most of
them have concerned themselves with
Governor Aliens action in handling
strike problems and in enforcement of
the Industrial court law. The governor
has given these communications but
little concern. Sending of warnings
to The governors family, tho, is an en-
tirely new move.
Governor Makes No Charges.
Governor Allen declined to discuss
the phone messages today. He said
he did not desire to comment on the
move and had no fixed opinion as to
whether the messages came from a
supporter of the Klan or from q radi-
cal labor, representative who sought to
use the cloak of the Klan to carry out
cowardly plan of intimidation.
What is more" said the governor
with a chuckle, II don't know why
they should have been so careful in
selecting last night as the particular
time when was to be tarred and
feathered.''
Detailed plans for the governors
anti Khan speech were made today in
"a telephone communication with
Montgomery county Republicans. The
governor goes to Atchison tonight,
will spend Friday in Wichita, yelling
ton and Winfield and will speak Sat
urday night in Coffeyville with the
possibility of an afternoon meeting in
CaneY.

WILL INVITE U. S.
Allies Want America to Sit in
Peace Farley.
Lausanne Treaty to Settle Near
East Tangle.

Paris, Oct 26.-France. Italy and
Great Britain have agreed to invite
the United States to participate Off
ciaIly in the near east peace confer
ence at Lausanne, Switzerland. No
vember 49,
The suggestion that the United
States be invited came from Lord
Curzon, the British secretary for for
eign affairs. The invitation will be
handed to the state department III
Washington probably tomorrow by
the French, British and Italian en-
bassies
Eleven invitations will be Issued in
ALTO the United States, Turkey,
Greece, France, Great Britain. Italy.
Japan, Jugo-Siavia and Rumania, for
peace conference and to the soviet
Russian and Bulgarian government to
take part in the discussion of the
question of the Dardanelles.
Comment Is Reserved.
Washington, Oct. 26.-Pending re-
ceipt in Washington of the official
invitation for American participation
in the Lausanne peace conference, Of
ficial comment as to the American at
titude is withheld. There is every rea-
son to believe the trend of opinion in
American Intervention in the confer
ence beyond the possible appointment
of an unofficial observer.
Should the allied invitation reach
Washington in time, unquestionably it
will come in for consideration by the
cabinet at tomorrow's session. That
discussion must, of necessity, be pred
icated upon the fact that the Laus-
anne meeting is a peace conference
at which helligerent nations propose
to arrive at a treaty of peace as be-
tween themselves. The United States
is not and has not been belligerent
in the near eastern troubles. Friend
ly relations between the United States
and Turkey have never been inter-
ruptd.
May Send Observer, Only.
An unofficial observer, it is general
ly believed, could present the Ameri-
can viewpoint and pave the way for
ultimate American participation in
individual treaties, with the belliger-
ent powers concerned to be negotiated
after the Lausanne treaty has been
ratified by its signatories.

King George this morning at a privy
council held at Sandringham, the
royal estate in Norfolk. The procla-
nation will be gazetted this afternoon.
The proclamation fixes November

The king also signed a proclamation

of Scotland to serve in the new par

bership in the house OF commons. OF
these. about 425 are conservatives. In
round numbers. labor has 400 candf-
dates in the field. the Asquithian or
free liberals 500 and the Lloyd
Georgian or national liberals 400.
Two Lead the Field.
To obtain an outright majority in
the new parliament any one party
would have to elect 315 candidates. It
will be seen therefore that the con-

Their organizations have been
whipped into far better shape than
those of the other parties.
The laborite manifesto holds a
prominent place in all the morning
papers today. The Morning Post dubs
1t a dry document, and rather
obvious failure to dissemble the iron
claws of communism in the nice

One of the main centers of interest
in the whole election is Glasgow.
where the new prime minister. An
drew Bonar Law, has two opponents
in his campaign for reelection as the
member from the central division OF
that city. Former Bailie Mitchell is
his opponent on the labor ticket and
Sir George Pafsh is opposing him as
a free liberal.
Labor is making a strong campaign
among the large population of Glas-
cow. At present only one OF the fif-
teen constituents in that city ia rep

the candidates in Glasgow is the COM
munist, John MacLean, whose term OF
twelve months in prison for sedi.ion
expired yesterday. Coming at this
time his new freedom brings to mind
the fact that he was released while
undergoing a similar punishment in
1918 in order that he could participate
in the election of that year.
Labor Leaders Aroused.
Reports that Premier Bonar Law
in his expected reform of adminlstra-
tive departments, might relegate the
works of the ministry of labor to some
other department, have strongly
aroused the leaders of the labor party.

change. The labor ministry, founded

to be a Dig department, with an an
nuaI expenditure of almost 5000, 900
pounds for salaries and allowances
