LOUISIANA KLUXERS
 ID PROBE MURDERS
Klan to Send Investigators to Mer
 Rouge, They Announce

New Orleans, Dec. 90 tBy Asso- ciated Press) The Louisiana organi- ration Of the Iiu Klux Klan will send its own agents Into Morehouse parish to investigate the Kidnapping and killing of Watt Daniels and Thomas Richards last August, according to an announcement by n high state offi- cial of the klan. The action, he said was decided on at conference here yesterday of heads of the state or ganization.
 II was stated that the investigation probably would be started within the next ds hours.
 "I recently returned from More- house parish where discussed the outrage with many folks who know their community we'll" said the klan official. ''I know that the klan is not to blame.
 We have no idea of setting up any defense at public hearing for anyone, and reports that the plan is interested in obtaining brilliant at rested are not true. We are inter- eSted Tn clearing the Klan or any con nection in the public mind with these outrages."
 The klan officials stated if 1t should develop that any individual members of the klan in Warehouse parish had to do with the Kidnapping and murders of Daniels and Richards, they would be outlawed and the klan would assist in obtaining their con victions before the criminal courts of the state.
 Governor Parker, who ordered the public hearings into the Warehouse situation, has openly de- nounced the K. K. K. He, has direct ed the investigation and has been quoted as declaring that he was "de- termined to tear the mask off the l klan."

RI. COLLEGE IS
 ID RECLAIM SWAMP
Many Workers Are Busy Trans
 forming Tract Into Market Garden

Charestown, R. l.. Dec. 30,--Littl, locomotives are pumping over newly laid rails on corduroy flooring, (
 27-ton walking dredge is blowing its
 way through the muck, a steam holster Is putting noisily and the ring of the axe is heard in the depths of n forest in this town 10 which few white men previously had penetrated, The great Indian swamp is in the early stages of transformation into a market garden.
 Already 200 acres of the swamp have been drained and cleared. On this tract next spring members of the faculty of Rhode Island State college will conduct demonstration in cul- tivation.
 The swamp, a little more than two miles long and with an average width of two miles and a half, is heavily timbered. White pine. cedar, oak and maple predominate. Some of the pines already felled measured three feet in diameter, and each of these when sawed made 1000 feet or more of lumber.
 Workmen are now engaged on the last lap of q broad road cut straight through the swamp for the logging railroad. Large quantities of timber and cordwood already have been hauled out. The steam holster. in- stalled on flat car. shoots out it's steel cables and hauls the great sleds, each loaded with from three to ten tons of logs. to the side of the rail road. It is utilized also for pulling stumps.
 The dredge has advanced half a mile from the starting point of the main canal which is being dug for drainage purposes and which will ex- tend the length of the swamp and back along the other side. When completed the canal will be utilized also for floating out logs. There will be two six foot cross ditches.
 It is estimated that four million feet of logs and 5000 cords of fire wood will be logged off the tract Five years is the time scheduled from the start of reclamation to the final of the land for truck farming. The swamp is rich in muck deposits which promise great fer tility.

and methods of payment must be taken out of politics"
 Would Remove Politics
 He emphasized that the distinguish cd flnanciers assigned to recommend not only financial plan of payment, but the amount to he paid, must be freed of the domination of foreign of fees and the necessity of obcying political instructions. The problem must be squared with economic facts alone, he said, and relieved of all the questions Of sentiment and clashing political opinion, recriminations and counter charges which have blocked reouperation of Europe mp 10 this time.
 It was this method alone, the sec retary's statements plainly indicated, which in the view of the American erican economic aid to Europe. He dismissed both proposals for general economic conference and discussion of allied debt cancellation as imprac- ticable proposals.
 Air Seems Clarified
 Secretary Hughes address and Senator Borah's withdrawal of his navy bill amendment, requesting the president to call an economic confer ence, combined to clear the air con- siderably with regard to the effort of the American government to be help full in the reparations tangle. The senate debate served to make officials both here and abroad aware of the desire in this country that American help should be given toward Europ- can recuperation if a way to make it available can be found.
 There was nothing here today to indicate that the American govern ment had it now in mind to take any other initiative than to suggest infor- mally as Mir. Hughes has done, way in which the allied premiers them selves might seek the aid of American economic strength in restoring Eur opc. Neither the White House nor the state department would give any definite information as to what atti- tude the sounding out process may have developed in European capitals. At the same time process may have developed in European capitals. At the same time. however, there were that so far. the plan had no actual opposition on the part of any foreign government and that the administration had high | opes of it's final acceptance.
 Germany Agreeable
 So far as Germany is concerned it has been plainly indicated heretofore ! that the commission plan would be entirely acceptable. A definite state l ment to that effect was contained in ! cablegram recently received from .he German Industrie-undH Handel stag, an organization of German in iustrial leaders, to the chamber of commerce of the United States whose officials have had the proposal for commission under discussion with the tate department for several weeks.

YOU CAN MAKE MONEY
 DURING THE NEXT YEAR
(Continued from Preceding Page)

Mortgage rates during 1923 should
 work lower. Today, the average rate
 of real estate mortgages throughout the United States is between 6T and | TG. The time is not far away when
 this average will stand between 59 and 6H.
 "Of course, the ease of the money
 market is distinctly favorable to long, time bonds. There is a point in the business cycle when industry becomes so active that money is absorbed by trade. When this occurs bonds are sold and develop a downward tend- ency. This point in the cycle has not yet appeared. Moreover, history shows that following the Civil War bond prices, barring temporary fluctuations, rose for long period of years, the advance eliminating about 1900. From this point, descent was gradu- ally made to low point at the end of the European war. Since this low point, history is repeating itself, bonds having reached middle ground, but still far below the 3.S0 or 41s basis of the 1900 period. All these factors od66Cot tll1t WtIi StlcClGu bOHuE, DOlli municipal and corporation, are a dis tinct purchase.
 Bonds and money" concluded Mr Babson. ''are certainly sound factors in the situation. As for business as a whole, there is no doubt that it will average better this coming year than it did in 1922. This does not mean that there will be any boom, but that there will be plenty of money-making opportunities for those who know fundamental conditions"

The Farmer Wins.

PERHAPS the most significant
phase of the recent election is sum-
med up in public statement issued
by Mr.. Gray Silver, Washington rep
resentative of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, as follows:
The entire membership of the
senate and house agricultural blocs
was returned to congress by safe
majority. We consider this a full
vindication of the American Farm
Bureaus legislative program, as
we'll as that of the blocs, and
proof that the legislation was in
line with public sentiment.
Mr.. Silver's analysis is obvious, but
it tells only part of the lesson,
The result evidently heralds an
awakening of the public mind to the
fact that the real party in which Am
orleans are interested as a unit is the
American party whose backbone and
sole platform is the prosperity OF the
man who tills the soil and keeps the
world alive
Twenty years ago no one could con-
ceive Democratic farmer rejoicing al
the election Of a Republican to con-
grcss. but likewise twenty years age
VIC could not conceive Illinois listen
ing to the opera in New York as per
radio today.
The world moves, Blind partisan
ship is giving way to common sense
and we are coming to see that such
matters rs the national budget and the
tariff are not properly placed i'll the
sphere of politics. The farm is in this
category of national factors that musl
be safeguarded and developed regard
less of party if the nation is to pro,
gress, and fortunately the farmer has
sensed this fact for himself
While the great cities have poked
a great deal of fun at the farmer and
smiled at his ingenious simplicity
seemingly he is the only force In Am,
erican life that has displayed enough
common sense to organize along intel
ligent lines and sufficient acumen &c
make good.

Let it come.
Civilization is ready for it.

compromises, kowtows, and placates
this unmentionable beast any longer.
