 Orleans

BASTROP La. March 12.-The Warehouse parish grand jury today resumed It's inquiry into masked band cases examining number of wit messing whose testimony at the open hearing in January was not regarded as of primary importance.

Richard who with Watt Daniel was abducted and slain on August 24 was to have appeared but 1t Is understood he had not left New Orleans today. and 1t Is not known when he will ar rive. Neelis moved -so New Orleans several months ago.
 Another witness who failed to snow up today was Harry Prophitt, Monroe business man, who testified at the hearing that he saw Capt. J. K. Skip with. exalted cyclops of the More house ku klux Klan, conversing iel and Richard were kidnapped. 1t is expected he will come to Bastrop to- morroWl

He testified at sne open hear. ing that on August "A, when Bastrop was crowded With visitors from all parts of the parish, who came for a barbecue and baseball game. he was seated on the courthouse lawn with Daniel, Richard and several others. Captain Skipwith. he said, was seen to approach various strangers, speak a few words and glance toward the group on the lawn. It was late that afternoon that the xidnaping oc- cured.
 The testimony of Broadnax has been alluded to frequently in the vague rumors that Daniel and Rich ard were kidnapped by masked band which included residents of Ashley county, Arkansas. adjoining More house parish on the north.
 There still was no indication when the jury would complete the exami- nation of witnesses. but Judging from the number of those who testified at the open hearing and those who have appeared since the jury began it's ses- sions last week. 1t Is believed it will be through the middle of the week.

Require Several Sfonth..

Shipping board experts said 1t would require board of appraisers several months to estimate value in dollars and cents of German ships on hand and sold. They pointed out that the craft seized, 90 in number, had an approximate deadweight tom mage of 650,000 and were calculated at the present time to be worth about $50 ton. Their value during the war. however, ran as high as $200 a ton.
 In the event tho proposal for such . reduction should be found accept able, and there was no intimation from administration officials of such possibility, the first step of the ap- praisers would be to agree upon a time on which to base the valuation On . wartime basis 1t might be 3180,000, ,000, while at the present scale 1t would aggregate only about S1s.5o0. 900.
 It was recalled that Secretary Hughes formally advised the British, French, Belgian, Italian and Japa- nese governments last March that the United States expected full pay mont for tho army of occupation upon an equal footing with them" Administration spokesmen have re- iterated this statement recently in defining their attitude and the right of this government to be paid by the allies out of the money and pay ments In kind which Germany has made to them.
