Photo, Mayor Is Told

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. TO-
Members Of the executive committee
Of the National Conference of Cath.
Ole Charities, m ting here this
week, called on Mayor Carver at the

charged that a police captain and
two patrolmen who they said are
members of the Ku Klux Khan were
implicated in an attempt to frame
up anti-Catholic propaganda mate
rial at the Coliseum, where the con-
ference sessions are held.
They alleged two patrolmen on
duty as watchmen at the Coliseum
were called to the door at 2:30 a. M,
yesterday by two other policemen
and told that two newspaper pho
tographers," who had alighted from
a car bearing a Nebraska license
number, were going to the roof to
take pictures.
One Of the watchmen. followed the
photographers to the roof, where,
the committee charges, they took q
Holy Name society pennant and fas-
tened it to the ope on the flagpole,
placing an American flag under
meath. They then took a flashlis {
photograph Of the arrangement and
departed.
Members Of the conference com.
mittee said it was obviously a frame
up to get a picture showing the
Catholics flying a religious flag
above Old Glory and to broadcast
it as anti-Catholic propaganda
Mayor Carver called in Superin-
tendent of Public Safety Jenney and
city attorneys and demanded an i'm
mediate and thorough investigation.

against the McNary- Haugen bill
with the export corporation plan
when it was up for discussion in
the last session of congress. He did
give particular attention to all the
various proposals for farm relief and
seemed to think we'll of the sugges-
lions contained both in the Curtis
Aswell and the Capper- Williams bills
These related to a scheme for the
coordination OF cO-opera tive market
ing organizations. Mr.. Coolidge had
a group of experts examine the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill and he was in
hopes that out of the general dis
cussion would come a bill satisfac-
tory to all farm interests. For
awhile, on the surface, it appeared
as if most of the farm organiza tons
were in favor of the McNary-Hau-
gen bill The true nature of the
support given the measure was dis
counted in the national capital to
some extent because of the pressure
eXerted from various sections of the
country upon the executive boards
Of the farm organizations to swing
into line behind the bill though the
farm leaders here were not alto
gether certain of it's value
What Mr.. Coolidge is seeking is
a practicable plan for handling the
export problem of the farmer ana
he thinks that the new commission
which is to function at once will
find some scheme suitable to recon-
mend to him for presentation to con-
gress.
The president is fully conscious of
the Importance OF agriculture as a
factor in the national campaign and
he is confident that the Republican
party will be entrusted with power
once more so that it can carry out
its plans with respect to agriculture
legislation. He thinks that the farm
ers who intended to vote for him be-
fore La Toilette entered the race
viii continue their support OF the
regular Republican ticket and that
those who had not intended to vote
tor him in the first place probably
will be found voting for La Toilette
or for Davis as they originally
planned. He processes to be no
prophet as to the outcome oe the
election in mathematical terms. but
he doesn't believe that the race of
1924 is comparable to the race of
1872 when there were three candi-
dates in the field. because he does
not think that La Toilette has the
hold upon the popular imagination
that Roosevelt had and that La Fol
lette's vote will come largely from
the Democrats and will not disturb
the regular Republican vote. That
is his conviction.
