Testimony Pr0Ues Klnn Heads Guilty
 Says State Atty

BASTROP, Jan 25.-That he would seek to have an indictment for mur- der returned against Capt Skipworth, leader of the Warehouse Parish branch of the Ku Klux Klan, was the statement made yesterday by Attor- ney General Coco, who said that when the evidence obtained at the present hearing was placed before the Grand Jury he expected the Kan leader to be charged. It was an- nounced by the Adjutant General of the State yesterday that the troops heretofore stationed at Morehouse Parish would be withdrawn, but Adiutant Tombs stated that he had been instructed by the Governor to inform Capt. Skipworth and Sherlft Carpenter that if any of the witness es in the case were menaced in any way martial law would be estab- lished.
 Attorney General Coco issued a statement today in which he charged the Ku Kiux Klan with responsibility for the numerous outrages perpe- trated at Warehouse Parish. The proof is convincing" the Attorney General declared, that since the advent of the Klan in this parish there has gradually arisen condi- tion of disorder and iawlessness which has ripened into the superces' sion of constituted authority by the Klan and the establishment of ' government of it's own from which a reign of terror and chaos has re- suited. The Parish was on the brink of riot, and bloodshed when the Gov ernor sent the militia here. While there may be many persons con- cerned with the klansmen who did not actually participate in and en- courage acts of lawlessness, they must nevertheless be deemed respon- sible therefor by reason of their silence on the actions" A statement was also issued by Judge William Barnett, counsel for Dr. McKoin. Jeff Burnett and Newt Gray, who have been identified by witnesses as members of masked parties, in which he attacked the legality of the hear ing and testimony given.
 Judge Burnett declared t h { the testimony had failed to show any connection of the Ku Klux Klan with the murders of Richards and Daniels, nor any other felonies or misdemeanors. He declared that the entire activity of the Klan had been directed toward law enforcement Of the moral code.

SENATOR DEFENDS
INSIDE CURB PLAN
Phipps Declares Connecticut
Avenue Experiment Is Safe
guard to Traffic.
is ROADWAY PROTECTION
Curbing Saves Repair Bills and
Keeps Autos From
Car Tracks.

The curbing which the District Com
missloners have placed on the left-hand
side of the newly paved roadway on
Connecticut avenue, leading to Chevy
Chase, in the opinion of Senator Phipps,
who has charge of the District appro :
priation bill in the Senate. is an eX-
cellent device which will not only save
the citizens Of the District a consider
able sum of money, but will also add
TO their protection.
II notice that there has been some
criticism in certain quarters about this
inside curb" said Senator Phipps today.
81 think that if the reasons for this
curbinE were fully explained, the citi-
zens of the District would agree that
il is a very good thing.
Effect on Car Fares.
'In the first place. under the law Of
the District, the street railways are
compelled to pay for the paving of
that part of the street lying between
their tracks. Ii the street car com
pany opera ting on Connecticut avenue
to Chevy Chase We're compelled to lay
a concrete pavement all the way out
to Chevy Chase between its tracks it
would add greatly to the expenses of
the company. These expenses would
have TO be paid for in the last analy-
sis by the people of the District. The
people are anxious TO obtain lower
street car fares. and. in my judgment,
to add this burden TO the expenses of
the street railway would tend TO pre-
vent lower fares.
LAS "A matter of fact, the inside curb
which is being constructed on Con-
necticut avenue will keep the road
way from wearing away at the edge.
thereby saving the District money
which il would have to pay out for
repairs If there were no curbing and
the street railway company was not
compelled to pave between its tracks.
Broad Roadway Provided.
THE Commissioners have provided a
twenty-foot paved roadway on each
side of the railway track. This is am
pie space for automobiles and wagons.
In fact. three could pass abreast in
that space.
THE curbirg prevents automobiles
from running on the railway track.
This is a very good thing and will aid
in preventing accidents. I think that
the District Commissioners have act
ed very wisely in constructing this
inside curb on Connecticut avenue
and / hope that they will continue
with it all the way to Chevy Chase"
