TROOPS AGAIN
SENT TO HERRIN
Khan and Anti-KIan Forces
Shoot 1t Out-One Dead,
One Wounded.

Marion Il.-The war in Williamson
county dared up into new flames late
Friday night Khan and anti-klan
forces are arrayed against each other
In Herrin and threaten to shoot it
out.
One man was killed, another is dy-
ing, and three have been kidnapped.
Five companies of state troops are
on duty in Herrin to prevent more
bloodshed.
1t is the same old trouble which has
been the beginning of many battles.
Bootlegging is the cause or is being
made the excuse for the raids and
counter raids and pitched battles.
On the one side is the khan and its
"dry' raiders, headed by S. Glenn
Young. On the other is the sheriff Of
Williamson county and his deputies.
Each faction claims to haveN the law
on its side The sheriff says he will
clean up the bootleggers if the khan
will support him. The khan claims the
county authorities are lax and that
the klan's vigilance committee must
enforce the law.
It was the activity of the khan raid
ers which caused the French govern
ment to file protest with inc officials
in Washington, asserting that the
rights OF French citizens in William
son county were being violated.
The real cause of and the circum-
stances surrounding the nights bat
tie are somewhat in doubt. These facts
are known:
Constable Caesar eagle, leader in
the khan and dry raider, was shot
and killed.
Deputy John Layman was seriously
wounded.
Three of Herrin's police force
Chief John Ford, Assistant Chief
Grain and Patrolman Frank Stephens
have been spirited away. Khan lead
ers asserted they were kidnapped. The
sherif's forces. say they were arrested
and taken away for "safekeeping. !"
The roads were crowded as car
after car filed with armed men rushed
for Herrin. There were representatives
Of Marion, Johnston City, Carterville
and Carbonate in Marion within a
short time.
The first version of the ARRAY was
teIephoned to Marion by Sheriff
George Galligan Of Williamson county.
The sheriff asserted that he was in
q room at the Rome club in confer
ence with Col. A. L. Culberson of the
Illinois National Guard, who was sent
to Herrin to prevent threatened out
break. With them was Deputy Sheriff
John Layman.
Suddenly, the sheriff reported, three
Herrin policemen broke into the room
and opened fire. Laymen fell and the
policemen rushed out. eagle, the sher-
iff reported, was shot slater in the
street near the Jefferson hotel.
The klansmen assert that the
trouble began with the killing of Con
stable eagle. They allege that eagle
was attacked and shot dead by mob
headed by Deputy Sheriff John Lay
man and that, following that attack,
the mob went to the Rome club; that
the Herrin police received riot call
there, and that the shooting of Lay
man followed in that place.

Atlee Pomerene, special prosecutors,
that to force Fall to give testimony
might give him immunity in future
criminal proceedings.
On the eve of action on the Robin
son resolution expressing the sense
of the senate that President Coolidge
should ask for the immediate resigna-
ton of Secretary of Navy DENLY, Mr..
DENLY made public telegram sent
