Mother Slew
Fearing for
Daughter
BY international News Service.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Did a
desperate mother who feared for
the safety of her tubercular child
kill Charles Blair, Connecticut
farmer, as he slept, and then
bury his mutilated body in a
fertilizer pit on his lonely farm?
Police today were asking this
question, following the finding of
Blairs body in the spot his former
hOusekeeper and self-confessed
slayer, Mrs Johanna Tell. said
she buried it.
Mrs. Tell told authorities here
she killed Blair when he attempt
ed to attack her with an AK be-
cause she would not divorce her
husband and marry him.
Part of her confession that is
being withheld is said to refer
to alleged threats by Blair that
if she refused his advances he
would turn his attentions to her
fourteen-year-old daughter, Lillian.
She shot Blair through the
head" she related. and then. as
he was attempting to rise, hacked
his neck with the ak.
Four deep gashes and pistol
wound were found on his body.
The farmers flannel shirt was
bloodstained from the ak wounds
and apparently no blood had come
from the pistol wound. This, po-
lice insist, would Indicate the man
was killed by the ak. and the

Senators Amazed at Tone of
Hanihara Letter on
Exclusion.
By A. o. HAYWARD,
Internal ional News Service.

Congress today accepted Japan's
challenge over the Japanese ex-
clusion amendment to the immi-
grafton bill, pending both in the
Senate and the House.
In face of the vigorous pro-
test Of Japanese Ambassador
Hanihara to Secretary of State
Hughes, a poll of both houses
indicated the exclusion amendment
would be enacted by a substantial
margin. The lower chamber was
expected to pass the bill late to-
day, but delay was promised in
the Senate because of the intention
of several Senators to assail the
Hughes-Hanihara diplomatic cor
respondence.
Senate Stirred by Letter.
Not in years has the Senate
been so stirred up as over the Hani.
nara letter, which was regarded in
virtually all quarters as IAN
astounding document" Hughes re-
ply. in which he begged Hanihara
to accept renewed assurances Of
my highest consideration, and
stated his views on the so-called
"gentlemen's agreement" were sub.
stantially those Of the ambassador,
also drew fire. especially from the
two California Senators, Hiram
johnson and Samuel Shortridge.
In effect. Hanihara stated that
in view of the ''gentlemen's agree
ment" restricting Japanese immigra-
ton, made in 1907 and 1908, when
Elihu Root was Secretary of State,
there was no necessity for enacting
an exclusion clause. To this the re-
ply was that the unwritten agree
ment had never been enforced
rigidly and that hundreds Of
Japanese illegally were gaining
entry to the United States each
year. -...
The exclusion amendment would
prohibit entry of all peoples not
eligible to American citizenship,
chiefly Japanese, except students
and ministers.
Letter Called Amazing"
Senator Moses (R) of New Hamp-
shire, formerly United States minis.
ter to Greece. expressing surprise
that Japan was permitted to send
such a communication to the Sec
rotary of State without diplomatic
rebuke, said he had "never heard
anything like it." Senator Short
ridge, one Of the chief supporters
OF the amendment, declared the
Hanihara letter was amazing"
Promising a speech today in
strong protest, Senator Johnson
said:
1.-THE letter of the Japanese am
bassador is an astounding docu-
ment. II we have reached such a
pass that our immigration laws re-
latlng to Japan can only be admin
istered by Japan, we may as well
extend the privileges to every other

POTTSVILLE, Pa, April 12.-
Ku Klux Khan operations in this

Alderman Davis last night by
Mrs. Clara Frantz, of Tamaqua,
as the result of which four Sha-

today, pending further hearing
on charges of forcible entry of
the Frantz home.
In her story, Mrs. Frantz de-
clared her home was invaded by

Francis Wildesmith-garbed in
Ku Klux hoods, who made an
attempt to discipline her for al

Failing to get confession, she
said, they blindfolded her and took
her into a woods four miles away,
where by exhibiting "a moose. a
blacksnake whip and ravolvers they
tried TO terrify her into admitting
guilt of indiscretion with Ware.
The Shamokin men claim the
case is one of mistaken identity,

argue on the following points Of
law:
Line Of Action.
THAT under the Constitution
the Senate was without authority
to compel Sinclair to answer any
of the questions propounded to him.
2-That the resolution under
which the Senate committee was in.
vestigating the Sinclair lease had
been superseded and abrogated by
the later resolution which declared
the lease invalid and which threw
the whole case into the courts for
decision.
3-That Sinclair's refusal to an
swer questions violated no law now
existent.
THAT the Senate is a body of
limited power in matters of ju
dicial procedure.
5-That the sole reason for sena-
torial Investigations Is for the Sc
curing Of information that will aid
the Senate in it's legislative func-
tions, and that the information
sought from Sinclair did not come
within this scope.
6-That the Senate exceeded its
powers under the Fourth and Fifth
amendments to the Constitution,
making persons secure in their
persons, houses, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches and

him for an additional examination

Canon Chase placed his evidence
before Secretary White today and
demanded immediate action and
no more delays" White was said
TO have been impressed by the new
evidence, the nature of which was
not revealed, and at once ordered
Curran to take the steps necessary
to proceed against the Argentian
heavyweight, who is in the United
States to fight Harry Wills, negro
prize fighter.
Labor Department officials here
were not inclined to discuss the
Firpo case in detail, but it was un.
derstood that Commissioner Curran
would issue a warrant for Firpo's
arrest as the first step in the new
proceedings.
Canon Chase predicted that the
