Ku Klux and Prohibition Denounced
At Annual Conference of Governors
Governors P ark e r
and OlcOtt Assail
Klan as National
Menace.

WHITE HU R
SPRINGS, w. Va, Dec. IA
Prohibition and the Ku Klux
Klan were considered promi-
nently at the fourteenth an
nual conference of governors
at sessions today and tonight.
Gov. John NJ. Parker of
Louisiana in an address late
today declared prohibition
was a fiat failure and de-
nounced the Ku Klux KIan.
He was Joined in his attack
on the secret organization by
Gov. Ben w. Olcott of Oregon,
who referred to the Klan in
an address tonight as a ma
tiOnal menace.
The Louisiana governor said he re-
ferred to the subject of prohibition
because of the intention of President
Harding to call the governors in con-
ference next month, regarding the
matter OF prohibition enforcement" "
Says Law Threatened.
Declaring that prohibition was al
most farce, he said it was infinitely
better to abolish the saloon, permit
light wines and beer to be sold, and
have the government regulate the
manufacture and distribution of liquor
with penitentiary sentences for those
-II Iafi1 oil -
laws. Both the prohibition question
AMI the Ku Klux Klan, Mr.. Parker
said, were black clouds threatening
law and order.
Governor Olcott challenged the
Klansmen to unmask.
1T is largely a political organiza-
tion,'' he said, founded for certain
objects and purposes. Let it be spe-
cific. Let it throw down it's gage Of
battle in the open lists, so the I0Er-
nament may be fought under the eyes
of all mankind.
Cites Oregon as Example.
'In Oregon we have had an example
of what ma become Il national crisis.
We have seen the injunctions of our
fOrefathcrs disobeyed; we have seen
class arrayed against class; neighbor
against neiShbOr; we have seen fam
lies divided communities split; we
have seen cities where for years moth
ing but peace and amity had existed
torn into contending factions. where
mon went armed with guns, where
deeds of violence were perpetrated an
der the guise of law enforcement, and
where all that once had been peace,
harmony and trustfulness was turned
into suspicion ana hatred"

Filler Is Badly
Hurt in Crash
At Air Station


With his left arm broken in two
places and numerous cuts and bruises
about the body, f. J. Davert, avia-
ton machinst's mate, first class, is
in the naval hospital as the result Of
the first crash of a land plane at the
Naval Air Station yesterday. Lieut..
r. II. Norris, who was plotting the
JN-4 when it fell, suffered cuts and
contusions but did not have to go to
the hospital.
The plane side-slipped when the
pilot tried to land. 1t fell from an
altitude of about 200 feet and crashed
in shallow water near the landing
field. The machine was wrecked. The
landing was attempted at too low
speed, it was said.
The accident. which is the first one
recorded at the local station where
one OF the light land planes was used,
occurred at $40.
Although painful, Davert's injuries
are not likely to prove fatal, it was
reported.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Repre-
sentative Keller of Minnesota refused
late today to participate further in
the hearings before the house judi
ciary committee on the impeachment
charges brought by him against At
torney General Daugherty. Charac-
terizing the hearings as a comic
opera performance" he declared he
would be untrue to his responsibility
as a member of the house if he as
sisted further in "a bare-faced at
tempt to whitewash Harry M.
Daugherty."
Immediately after he announced
his withdrawal, the committee in open
session and without leaving its place
voted to go on with the hearings; 10
subpoena Mr.. Keller as witness
mt him under oath and question him
as TO the basis for his charges Of hlgh
crimes and misdemeanors against
the attorney general. Later he was
summoned formally by the house ser
geant-at-arms to appear before the
committee at 1890 a. m. tomorrow.
Committee IN OproaT'
This turn in the proceedings came
with dramatic suddenness and was
attended by a tumult and uproar sell
dom witnessed in congressional com
nitteA room. After absenting himself
much of the day, Mr.. Keller appeared
with a typewritten statement in his
hand and announced he deired to
read it to the committee. He was re-
bA later
public the statement, which dealt in
detail with his reasons for refusing to
60 on and embodied demand that
the committee favorably report his
resolution to the house 50 that he
might present his evidence Ito an un-
biased committee in the proper way"
II reiterate now" the statement
said. that l am in possession OF evil
dence ample to prove Harry NJ.
Daugherty guilty of all of the high
crimes and misdemeanors with which
/ have charged him"
Charge Grand Stand Play
Representative Yates, republican,
Illinois, declared that Keller's course
was a grand stand play, so staged
and intended" Several other men,
bers broke into the general discussion
to say that the hearings should go on
and that Mr.. Keller should be sum-
moned and required to tell about his
knowledge concerning his charges
against Mr.. Daugherty.
Paul Rowland, counsel for Mr..
also urged that the pro-
ceedings go forward, declaring the
attorney general had a right to. de-
mand it.
Finally the matter was put to
vote and the motion to continue car
ried. Chairman Volstead remarked
that if Mr.. Keller cant produce evil
1ence we will go as best we can"

Journal Collections

The Journal carriers manage and control
their routes pay in advance fol all papers drawn,
and absolutely depend upon their collections for
their running capital and profits. When sub
scribers neglect to pay them it is the CARRIER
and not THE JOURNAL that stands the "brunt."
Subscribers who do not care to pay the car
rier each week may pay The Journal two or more
months in advance and they will pay the carrier
each week from this fund.
This system of delivery is known the
INDEPENDENT CARRIER PLAN and is used
by most of the larger newspapers of the country
and has proven beyond doubt to be the very best
plan of delivery. When boy manages his own
route buys and sells at profit he is in business
for himself in exactly the same sense as any
merchant. He knows he must give service to be
successful and build up his business. He knows
that every new customer he secures means more
profit. In short, he knows he must conduct his
business in capable and efficient manner to be
successful.
The Journal earnestly requests it subscribers
not to discourage these boys in this, probably
their first business venture, by refusing to pay
promptly each week for their newspaper.
