HILL PAVES WAY
TO FORCE UPSHAW
TO PROVE CHARGE
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
nv THEODORE T1LLER

WASHINGTON, Jan. Citing
action by the house in 1892, when it
condemned structures upon its mem
bership by Thomas E. Watson, or
Georgia, then a member of that
todv. Representative John Ph1np
Hill, Maryland, Saturday laid further
groundwork for the Introduction OF
his resolution to force Representa-
tive William D. Upshaw, also OF
Georgia, to give the names OF mem
bers of congress whom he recently
accused of drinking in violation o.
the Volstead act.
The debate Saturday arose over the
statement of Representative CALL
van. a Massachusetts, Democrat, VINO
had declared that northern Demo
Gratis did not intend to combine with
anv southern Democrat in organizing
the next house where it could be
shown that that member was al
filiated with the Ku Klux Khan. MI
Ga1livan intimated he would rather
co-operate with Republican organl-
cation than to be in a Democratic
house organization if it included
klansmen
The Massachusetts member also
expressed belief that certain Texas
members of the house were kans-
men, an assumption resented by Rep
resentative Blanton, of that state.
Representative Hill arose to pro
test against such general charges
against the house membership, and
came back to the Upshaw charges OF
last week that there is illicit drink
ing in high places in Washington,
and many congressman violate the
Volstead law.
Representative Hill referred to
precedents for expressions by the
house of it's dignity and came down
to the Thomas E. Watson case in
1892. In that year, he said, Rep-
resentative Boatner, of Louisiana,
arose to a question of high priVi-
lege and complained that in book
written by Representative Watson
of Georgia, he had said that drunk
en- members have reeled about the
aisles, a disgrace to the republic:
Drunken speakers have debated
grave issues on the floor and n
IL. 4f -
have been heard to ask, Where
was I at?'
The same charges, it was al
legged, were made on the floor, and
an investigating committee was
named under the Boatner resoiG-
ton. After recording the appoint
ment of such d committee ar it's
investigation. Representative Hill
said it was claimed in behalf o.
Mr.. Watson that his remarks ap
piled to va certain member of the
house. The committee reported that
the charges made by Thomas b
Watson in his book against the
house of representatives (here re
peating the language are not true
and constitute an unwarranted as
sault upon the honor and dignity
Of the house"
In concluding, Representative Hill
inserted G newspaper editorial say
ing that Representative Upshaw, OF
Georgia, had said he did not intend
to give the names of his colleagues
who are violating the Volstead law
and that Representative Hill in
tended to try to force those names
from him. .-..--

MER ROUGE PROBE
IS PUSHED AS DATE
FOR HEARING NEARS


BASTROP, La, Jan. 1.-By the
Associated Press.)-Morehouse set
tied down today to await the COM
ing of Friday when the state would
lay it's cards on the table in the
Morehouse kidnapping and murder
cases.
In the meantime, Investigations are
being extended. There were reports
that department of justice agents will
delve into the activities of unidenti-
fled secret organizations who have
conducted raids against the lawless
along the Observation-Disclosures border.
The Ku Klux Khan realm of Lou
isiana also had agents in the field,
it was reported, to learn if these or
CARNATIONS were responsible for the
outrage on the Bastrop-Mer Rouge
highway on the night of August "a
when five members of old Morehouse
families were kidnapped, two flogged
and two murdered.
Because of the reports made by
the scores of persons who were re-
turning from the Bastrop celebration
and witnessed the highway episode,
that the mob was robed and masked
-regalia similar to that worn by the
Ku Klux Klan-the state klansmen
are sending investigators into More
house, to sift the affair to the bot
tom and to report their findings.
If the khan as a whole is guilty it's
charter will be revoked; if individual
members were implicated they will
be left by their fellow klansmen to
the fate they deserve. This was the
edict Of chieftains who gathered in
New Orleans yesterday.
Federal investigators who have
been active here since September 20
turned today after conferences with
state officials at New Orleans.
Friends of DR.. &. NJ. McKoin, for
.mer mayor of Mer Rouge, who is
under murder charges at Baltimore,

the slight cold the physician has con-
tracted in jSil had developed into
bronchitis.
Some of his friends have advised
him not to fight extradition but to
return to Louisiana as they are GER
tain he will be INDICATED. In the
meanwhile, they are proceeding with
the accumulation of the fund to pay
for his defense.
Former Judge w. C. Barnett, of
Shreveport, La, announced today he

in connection with the case. He said
in the event MtKoin was extradited
he would represent him also.

light than any other murder case.
the judge commented. "In the last
analysis this case will have to be
disposed of by due process of law in
the criminal courts"
Friends Of Burnett and McKoin are
authority for statements they will be
defended by the best legal talent that
money can buy.

llidnapings occurred have been pro-
cured and a positive alibi can be es-
tablished it was announced today by
