REPUBLICANS FIGHT
ON CONGRESS- PLANS
Cummins Mag Not Be President of the
Senate But Head Railway
Committee.

Washington.-View of Senate and
House progressives both as to organ
ization and legislation in the 68th
Congress gradually are being crystal
lied.
Representative Nelson of Wisconsin,
chairman of the House progressive
group has stated that on the eve of the
majority conference in the House the
progressives will complete formula
ton of their program for re-organi-
cation of House committees and modi-
fication of house rules. They will go
into the Republican conference pre-
pared to make a fight, they say, un-
less there is an agreement in advance
of the conference.
Differences between the progress
sives and Republicans in the Senate
over organization, center on the presi-
dency of the Senate. The progressives
beside that Senator Cummins OF Iowa,
retain the office of president pro TEN,
and relinquish his place as, chairman
of the interstate commerce com mittee
so that Senator La Toilette, of Wis
consin, leader of their group, may be
placed in line for the Craftsmanship.
On the other hand the Republican
leaders are urging upon Senator
Cummins that he give up the place as
president pro TEN and retain his post
as head of the committee, which will
be charged with the handling o. rail-
road legislation, one of the more i'm
portant problems that will come before
the congress at this session.

by Edward Duncan, Jr.
The young girl said that she did not
know that by the laws of the state OF

Oklahoma City, Okla. - Rebuked by
their leaders for alleged insincerity in
their consideration of anti-Ku Klux
Khan measures, members of both hous-
es of the state legislature went into
session today to renew discussion of
the proposed legislation, with its OPP
ponents holding the whip hand.
The controversy now extended into
the lower house, it became increasing
ly apparent that prolonged and bit
ter fight is in prospect, before final
action is taken on any of the various
proposals for an act regulating secret
organizations in Oklahoma.
The senate having been admonished
by Senator Tom Anglin, president pro
tenn, to cease it's obstructive tactics
and come to a showdown, prepared
to take up other sections Of the bill
today after killing clause which
would have provided that a court or
der could compel officers Of secret or
CARNATIONS to produce their member
ship roles. This action yesterday, sup
porters of the proposal accepted as a
definite defeat in their fight to reveal
to the public the names of members
of secret orders and thus put teeth"
in an anti-Klan act. 81
Addressing the lower house, Speak
er McBee declared that he was conf
dent satisfactory Khan legislation
would be enacted and added:
1T must go through. The house
promised the people of the state leg
islation of this kind and we have got
to pass it, or / will break with every
member of the legislature"

chased the booze at a nearby town and
brought it with them. They were not
to breathe the fact that they got it at
the Puzas farm.
Puzas here interrupted to say that
Katutis came to the farm at noon in
stead Of early in the morning. Again
the lie was passed between the two
witnesses.
Continuing, Katutis stated that he
then returned home and that his wife
warned him that. if he told lie he
would be caught and get into serious
trouble. He said that he got to think
ing it over and decided that she was
right. Then he went back to the Puzas
farm and found Mrs. Puzas. He told
her that he had decided to tell just
what happened. To which he says she
replied:
''You say the way YOU want, and
we'll say the way we want"
Asked if he had witness that heard
this remark, he replied that he had

The prosecutor then put Mrs. 'Puzas
on the stand and warned her that she
was under oath and that if she didn't
tell the truth she was facing state S
prison. She retold her story, denying
having sold any booze. She said that
the stuff which Dubinski drank was
brought by himself and Frank Katutis

Mrs. Alice Turtelotte who lives on a
farm near Dubinski's told of having
phoned for the doctor, and then of
having gone to the Dubinski home, af-
ter having picked up Dubinski's broth
er-in-law at another farmhouse. She
was present when Dubinski died
She testified that after the man had
died, the physician questioned the wife
to find out the history of the case.
The wife said that her husband had
been drinking heavily for several days
and that during one of his lucid mo-
ments after having been taken i'll that
evening he told her that he and Katu-
tbs had purchased a bottle at "Pete's"
place.
The prosecutor interrupted to ask
who "Pete" was, and Katutis who was
now sitting in the rear of the room
indicated Peter Puzas.
Mrs. Tourtelotte resumed repeating
the conversation which she heard at
the Dubinski home. She said that the
physician was talking to the wife
through an interpreter. She said She
knew nothing further about the case
than what she overheard. She stated
that it was reported that they had
drank two bottles of moonshine at
"Petes," one bottle of which was pur-
chased by Katutis and one bottle by
Dubinski.
Because it was impossible to call
Sholtes in yesterday, without having to
hold the proceeding up for an hour OF
more, it was decided to again postpone
the probe until Wednesday.

ENGLAND NOT TO
DEFEND RUM BOAT
Officials Satisfied That England Will
Not Espouse Cause of Captured
Rum Boat TomakO.

Washington, D. G. Complete con-
was evidenced in official cir
cles today that seizure of the rum
schooner Tomako would not become a
subject for, controversy with the BRIT
ish government, despite the unusual
circumstances surrounding her cap
ture.
The state, treasury and justice de-
partments which were equally inter
,ested in the seizure, all appeared to
view the case as already closed IN
cident, so far as its international as
poets were concerned.
Treasury officials said the capture
properly belonged within the classifi-
cation accorded the celebrated Marsh
all case, in which the British govern
ment declined to interfere because the
owners of the Marshall failed to es-
tablish the validity of their British
registry.
