NIXON COMING BACK

BastrOp. La. Jan. 4.-MorehouSe
parish maintained its status quo early
today under control of civil authorities,
but with additional military forces on
hand and the state adjutant general on
the ground ready 10 act in any situa-
ton that might arise in connection with
the states investigation of masked
band operations near here.
The coming of Col. L. +. Toombs, ad
jutant general of the Louisiana national
guard, and the arrival of detachment
of cavalry TO reinforce two companies
of infantry and machine gun company
already stationed at Bastrop and Mer
Rouge, resulted in reports of action of
the military to take over the police
powers of the parish.
Colonel Toombs denied that such &C.
ton has been decided upon. ''As con-
ditions present themselves they will be
met adequately. Thus far no action has
been taken which would place the parish
under control of the military, and re-
ports to the contrary are iLcorrect."
McKoin Expected Friday.
Colonel Toombs would not comment
further on current reports, which in
cluded one that a proclamation of mar
tial law had been prepared and only
awaited PRONUNCIATION to make it effec-
tive.
DR.. B. NJ. McKoin, former mayor of
Mer Rouge, arrested in Baltimore on a
charge of murder in connection with the
cases, was expected TO reach here Fri
day with the officers sent to extradite
him.
The physician will return to the state
a free man in accordance with an agree
ment reached between Governor Parker
and Governor Richie, of Maryland, in
regard to the contested extradition pa
pers. What charges the state will place
against him when he reaches Louisiana
could not be learned.
Attorney General Coco, who will con-
duct the open hearing into masked band
operations, left New Orleans accom-
panied by an assistant. He was to
reach here this morning to prepare for
the initial session Of the investigation
tomorrow.
Search for Kidnapped Man.
The question of a preliminary hear
ing for T. J. Burnett, carbon plant
worker under arrest in connection with
the deaths of Richards and Daniels, is
held awaiting the arrival of Mr.. Coco.
Attorneys for Burnett were in frequent
conferences today.
Search for Harold Teegerstron. time
keeper at the plant where Burnett was
employed, who disappeared last Friday
night, continued without result. De-
partment of Justice agents and the sher-
ifs force shad no tiding Of the missing
man. 1t is the belief Of investigators
that Teegerstrom was kidnapped.
Expected warrants for the arrest of
men alleged to have been implicated on
the Mer Rouge kidnapping had not been
issued early today.

INVALUABLE VOLUMES
GIVEN BY JEROME DAY

jerome Day, an Idaho alumnuS and
! prominent mining man, has donated a
set OF books of twelve volumes to the
university library. This set of books
is government report on survey
of the territory between the Mississ-
1ppi river and the Pacific ocean. The
name of the set is Exploration and
Survey for Rail Road from the Mis-
sippi River to the Pacific Ocean,
This survey was made in 1854 by
government officials and the report
was presented to congress in 1855.
All of the advisable routes between
the Mississippi and the Pacific were
very accurately surveyed. The report
also includes the geology, botany, and
zoology of all the territory.
The books are very well bound and
will be of great benefit to the univer-
sity as a whole Due to the fact that
the report includes the whole nature
of the territory they will also be very
useful to the different science depart
ments
The value of the books is also high
because of the fact that they are now
out. of print and it would be almost
impossible to duplicate them.

DEALERS OFFER DOLLAR
FOR FIRST 1928 WHEAT

The generally expressed opinion
among local grain dealers this spring
has been that the wheat market will
open this fall at about 81 per bushei,
and it is evident that this opinion is
pretty generally shared among dea-
lers, from the fact that the first bid
for 1928 wheat, which was made for
small quantity in Walla Walla and
Columbia counties, was 81, for de-
livery Immediately after harvest.
While the bidding at this time is
merely speculative, it is backing the
Judgment of the grain dealers. There
is now every reason to believe that
the entire Inland Empire will har
vest one of the biggest crops in its
history, and, with the costs of seeding
and harvesting something lower than
during the past few years, a yield of
80 to 40 bushels to the acre will yield
fair return to the farmer at 81
bushel, many who are familiar with
the wheat game claim.
