KLANSMAN NOMINATED
Texas Sheriff, Principal in Custer Suit Selected By Electors in Three Cornered Race.

Beaumont, Tex, July 24.--Sheriff T. H. Garner of Jefferson county was re- nominated over two opponents in Sat urday's primary. His race has at tracted wide attention because of an custer suit filed against him here be- cause of his admitted membership in the Ku Klux Klan. The custer suit was heard by Judge Robert Street of Galveston. Several episodes, charged to the kians activities were described by Judge Street. after holding that testimony had failed to connect Sher- if Garner with them, instructed the jury to return a verdict of guilty, on the grounds that the oath taken as a eansman was incompatible with the oath Garner had taken as sheriff. Judge Street issued an order removing the sheriff from office and naming his successor, and the sheriff's attorneys filed a supersedeas bond with the court of appeals that Garner might retain his office pending final disposition of the case.
 Judge Streets decision was cited in many local campaigns in which the klan was political issue.

porting the administrators course against the chemical foundation in the hope. he said, of securing resti- tuition of property and also damage claims for it's use.
 Senator Underwoods statements were made during an address in sup port of his recent bill to create an American commission to press Amer ican damage claims against Germany and Austria, using enemy alien prop erty seized as pledge for payment.
 Adequate" Payment Made.
 Mir. Underwood opposed the ad- ministration plan for a joint claims commission or another treaty to deal with these claims, declaring there was no necessity for further nego- tiations with Germany on the sub- iect He reviewed at length the alien property legislation and cited figures showing that property worth $500, 0,00o,000 was taken over and con- trol secured of 200 alien corpora tions.
 Quoting from MT. Palmer's report on enemy alien property, Senator Underwood said that the s25o,ooo

 This report" said Mr. Underwood, "effectualy disposes of the charge that there was a fraudulent conspir- acy on the part of those in the alien property custodian's office who erect ed the chemical foundation and sold these patents to it. The charge has been repeatedly made that Mir Garvan as alien property custodian sold these patents to himself as president of the chemical foundation. The entire plan was devised and perfected before MT. Garvan became alien property cus- todian or had any though of being ap- pointed to that office-the entire plan was devised and perfected while Mir. Palmer was alien property custodian"
 Criticizes Harding.
 Stating that formal, official state ments of the chemical foundation plan were made in advance, Senator Jn- derwood continued.
 "Conspiracies to defraud the gov- ernment are not committed in the open light Of day. Conspiracies to defraud the government are never re- ported to congress by the conspira- tors in advance.
 Now President Harding has direct ed the present alien property custo- dian to demand a return of these patents from the chemical foundation to the government The president has committed himself to the doctrine that this sale was d violation of a trust. This is a mistaken theory of law for the title to the property vested ab. solutely in the government and tho alien property custodian was not the trustee for the German owners"

More Than 100 in Attend- ance at White House Conference ce-Daugh- ertyApproves Proposals
Dept. of Justice Will Assist in Preventing Profiteer- ing in Commodity Is Promise.

Washington, July 24.-Operators from the producing districts of six states in conference today with Secre- tary Hoover agreed in<principle with the administrators plan for main- taining urices and insuring fuel dis tribution during the strike emergency.
 The administration plan for pre- venting profiteering in coal and insur- ing fuel distribution during the strike emergency was discussed today with Secretary Hoover with nearly 100 non union operatives and government of- ficials.
 Meeting in executive session the conference began the consideration of two proposals laid before them by Mir. Hooper. One provides for the tight ening of existing voluntary agree ments to maintain fair prices and the other for establishment of coal pools in the producing districts.
 Price Maintenance
 Attorney Gen. Daugherty was pre- pairing to report to Hr. Hoover dur ing the day upon the legal phrases of the emergency coal control progra m and it was understood that price maintenance was up for first consd- eration by the conference.
 MT. Hoover was understood to take the position that the conference was held to deal entirely with the two problems presented and not to con- sider means for settling either the coal or railroad strikes.
 Later the department of justice an- nounced that Attorney Gen. Daughter ty had submitted an opinion to Sec retary Hoover sustaining every phrase" regarding the legality of the commerce secretary's plan in connec- tion with the coal shortage and dis tribution."
 Daugherty Speaks.
 While the merits of the plan were not particularly submitted to me for consideration" the attorney generals etatement said, yet I desire to say that it is the most comprehensive and in my judgment. practical, and I am sure Secretary Hoover. because of his vast experience and capabilities and with the cooperation of other gov ernmental agencies will be most ef- fective in carrying out the presidents plans and policies for the material re- lief to the public in the present emer- gency."
 The attorney general declared that he would join with Secretary Hoover and every other governmental agency under the direction of the president, to relieve the situation to the end that coal and other necessities of life may be furnished the American people in sufficient quantities and at reasonable prices"
 Proposed Plan.
 As threshed out in detail at series of conferences of the federal agencies Involved yesterday the plan contem- plates the creation of a central com mittee, with representatives, it is un- derstood, from the departments of commerce, justice, interior and the interstate commerce commission, operating through local committees in the producing districts of Virginia. West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Alabama.
 Coal distribution. it is planned, will be controlled through pooling in the various producing districts and the distribution of cars under preferen- tial system to be instituted, under au- thority of the interstate commerce commission.

WARSAW POLITICAL
 CRISIS IMPENDING
Lack of Understanding Between Forces Seem To Be Threatening
 Upon a Civil War

Warsaw, July 20. (Delayed)-The lack of understanding between Presi- dent Pisudski and the diet felt since the beginning of the present cabinet crisis, seemed today in the view of close observers, to be threatening something like civil war.
 From the moment when, on June 2, President Pilsudski caused the res- ignation of the Ponikowski cabinet, the question of whether the supreme authority lay with president or par liament, has been to the fore. Presi- dent Pilsudslli and the radical party supporting him have appeared to take the position that the president should be the chief authority, while the na- tionalists in the diet were committed to upholding the supremacy of par liament.
 The nationalist contingent last night organized 27 anti-Pilsudski public meetings in various halls in Warsaw.
