Attorney General A. V. Coco
himself made the charge in an

such time as circumstances may

an open hearing.
1T is my painful and humil;
ating duty to refer to the de-
plorable conditions in this parish
as revealed by the evidence, Sald
Coco. "The proof is convincing
that since the advent of the h''
Klux Klan in this parish there
has gradually arisen a conditions
of disorder and lawlessness whcn
has ripened into super-sesslcn
lof a government OF its own, from
which a reign of terror and chaos
have resulted, and the parish
was on the brink of riot and
lbloodshed when the governor
sent the militia here and these
proceedings were initiated.
"These offenses ard crimes were
committed in the name of the or
der under the protection Of Its re-
o.alia and in the use of its recog-
nized methods and practices and
under the leadership of its otti'
GERS. the principal OF which mas

brought about condition in this
parish which is a blot upon our
civilization and brings into ques-
ton the proud title of American
citizenship.
The flogging of citizens. their
deportation and Punishment and
other kindred offenses We're but
mere paStime and of such frequent
occurrence that they were accepted
as commonplace things, the pro-
test against which was itself Suf-
ficient grounds for deportation.
without going into any details,
We beg 70 say thit the conclusion
we have reached is that many
persons have been identified and
connected with thes many acts Of
violence and crimes, leading to and
including the kidnapping on Au-
gust "a and the murder Of Daniel
and Richards. and it is the pur-
pose of the state to present this
evidence to the grand jury for its
consideration and action as soon as
we can get transcript of it."

ruler was unframed, feeble or
wicked. When a people is any
of these, the government fails.
Miss CLARK said that our rights
are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness and that one of the
first aims of the League had been
the preservation Of life. To this
end the League sponsored the
Shepherd -Towner Bill.
Juvenile Courts are tremend-
Gus factor in Virginia, said Miss
Clark. Virginia passed Is laws
for Child Welfare last year, all
of them through the efforts Of
the Virginia League of Women
Voters.
The work of the League can
be divided into three parts: Edu-
cation of Voters, needed legisla-
ton and efficient Government.
The National League urges the
States to study the questions of
Stae and National Primaries.
The voter must know the nominee
for office and for what he stands
personally.
Miss Clark closed her address
by inviting the men in the audi
ence to become members of the
Mems Cooperative Association
of the League. She spoke OF the
necessity of the masculine and
feminine viewpoint in settling
political questions and called at
tention 20 the sanity Of legisla-
ton that is the outcome of CO.
and balanced judgment.

Miss Adele Clark, President of
the Virginia League of Women
Voters, prefaced her address last
night by an appreciation of Alex
andria's hospitality and its met
hods of arranging for conven-
ton. Miss Clark stressed Alex
andria's strategic position with
relation to legislation and said
that il could render invaluable
service in any organization where
the State was affiliated with the
National.
The League Of Women Voters
is no two years old, Miss Clark
said, in summing up the work ac-
complished by the League. Miss
Clark likened the benefit derived
by the women voters from the
constructive ideas of our fore
fathers to the light from a star
which has been shining for CEN
turies but has had to travel these
hundreds of years in order to
reach our eyes.
Miss Clark said that our gov
derives its just powers
from the consent of the governed
and for that reason the League
had decided to train its members
for citizenship. Consent is not
blind acquiescense but an express
sion of will and that will must
be trained. Whenever a Demo-
cracy has failed, it has been
through lack of trained citizen
ship; whenever a dynasty has
failed. it has been because the

Bill introduced by Sen.
BrOokhart Would Pre-
vent Strikes
TO PRESS ACTION
Is First Thrust of Those Who
Believe Government Operation
is Only Solution for Present
Difficulties in Production of Coal
tBy United Press.)

Washington, Jan. 25. - TIL
president of the United Stat
could sieze and operate the cor a
mines in case of a national EN-
gency under provisions of a b
introduced in the Senate today
Senator Brookhart, busines
man and farmer from Iowa,
author Of the measure and he
lieves il may prevent full
strikes in the perturbed coal
dustry and safeguard the r.
lie from repetition of exist
conditions.
The bill also is the first thru
of those in congress who believe
government operation of the
mines is the only feasible sOlu-
ton OF present difficulties.
Three features dominate the
Brookhart bill:
THE national emergency
could be declared by the presi-
dent at any time he believed the
supply of coal is not adequate to
meet national needs.
2--The coal operators would be
paid just compensation for
operation of the mines which could
not exceed the net earnings Tor
the seizure period.
3-Earnings made by the gov
ernment above that compensation
would go into a Federal Con-
trol Fund" in the Treasury De-
partment and owners would be
restricted in making claims
againts the goyernn,snt.
In case any dispute should
arise between the g arnment and
the owners over the mount to be
paid for government operation,
the matter would be left to the
Federal Trade Commission. If
the commission estimate should be
disputed the operator would be
paid IS per cent OF the amount
fixed and would be authorized to
bring suit in the federal courts
for the remainder Of TIE sum he
demands.
The bill is the result of care
ful study by Brookhardt who be-
lieves it ironclad. The president
is authorized to carry out all con-
tracts made by the operators
prior to government seizure; he
can instruct the Interstate Com
merce Commission - issue en-
bargoes; he can fix the salaries
Of laborers who work the mines
under government control; he can
tul Hback the mines al any time
he deems appropriate and he G4p
individually settle all financia
and economical affairs connected
with the seizure and operation.
Brookhart says he will press
for action on the bill at this
session Of congress in the hope
that he may have it enacted into
law before another coal strike
could be declared.

CONSUMPTION OF
ICE CREAM GROWS
WITH EACH YEAR
Browder Firm Reports In
CreaSing Summer Bust
neSS-Food Value Noted.

No longer considered to be a treat
today as a food, rich in nutriment.
J. B. Browder Of the Browder Ice
Cream Company, 91S North Senate
Ave, says that never has this deli
cious frozen food been so universally
used as during this summer
ice cream is primarily American
and great quantities are consumed by
Americans during the whole year but
especially during the summer months
for then it's cooling and refreshing
qualities are duly appreciated. Fac
tories have experimental with the pro-
duct until they have achieved creams
velvety in their smoothness, deli
ciously different as to flavor and color.
and very rich In food content.
We make a speciality of party or
ders and some Of the special orders
are appetizingly beautiful. Bricks
of different combinations prove very
popular because of their adaptability
to easy serving. Nuts, fruits, fruit
juices are added to the ordinary
creams In such a way as to appeal
to the most fastidious.
To-day there are more ice cream
vendors on the streets than almost
any other kind-they have cones,
ice cream sandwiches or Ice cream
slices-and they find ready sale for
them not only among the children
but also among the grown-ups.
Children. however, should be encour-
aged to eat plain Ice cream without
the addition of fruits, nuts or syrups,
it is not only noninjurious-it is
actually healthfuk.
