SMITHSONIAN TO GET
GORILLA AND BABY

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 8.-Two
trunks filled with the bones and
hides of two gorillas from the
Belgian Congo are ready for ship
ment to the Smithsonian Institu-
ton at Washington.
They represent the bag Of Capt.
Ben Bprbridge, Jacksonville's big
game hunter, just back from a
three-year trip to Africa, which
was made to obtain, II possible q
live gorilla.
A large gorilla had to be shot,
and was entirely too fierce and
powerful to be captured, according
to Captain Burbridge. The baby
gorilla died on route to this city.
The weight Of the grown gorilla,
which will be reconstructed and
placed in exhibition Is $50 pounds.
It has q reach of more than eight
feet and measures fifty inches
around the chest.

Everybody is asking: Where
will the Teapot Scandal stop?
When We II end? From the Presi-

Republican whip, Senator Curtis of
Kansas, has been dubbed the mys-
terious principal. Washington

THE committee investigating the
Il Department of Justice and At
torney General Harry M. Daugher-
ty has given an international turn
to the revelations of the Teapot
Oil Scandal. MIR. Daugherty is TO
be called upon to explain the part
played by him and his agents in
the last Mexican revolution. IL
is openly charged that the last mill
tary struggles in Mexico were
fomented and financed by American
oil magnates and that these oil
interests were working hand in
glove with the United States Gov
eminent thru the Department Of
Justice.

Walker has brought to this confer
ence and which reads as follows:
Judging from the developments
that are coming out Of the investi-
cations here do not know but what
the time is ripe for such a movement
and with good chances for success in
the coming election"
Numerous influential farmers now
state officials have endorsed the
Farmer-Labor Party and promised to
organize their counties, according to
Martinson and Walker. 1--WE can
absolutely count on eighty thousand
votes for a farmer-labor program
and candidates, which is enough to
put us in the position Of the second
party in the state at least said
Dad Walker.
The same story Of lack Of finance
is told by Tom Ayres, who tells of
meeting Of a hundred farmers
recently which he addressed and who
emptied their pockets for organiza-
ton work.
The total was less than nine dol
lars. "Most of the Farmers in my
state are desperate and have lost
hope in everything" said Ayres.
"They talk more about buying rifles
and ammunition than they do about
detailed organization work, but with
a national farmer-labor organization
launched they will begin to hope and
work"
The practical nature Of the prob
lem with which the delegates have
come to deal is shown by the fact
that they are engaged no longer in
estimating and weighing sentiment
for a national mass, clJss party, but
are talking of what the conference
can do to solve the technical matters
Of finance and organization.

Labor organizations in their re-
spective states and every one
of them has come pledged to
work and fight against post
ponement of the May 30th con-
vention. A panorama of the
north western agricultural area
and the conditions obtaining
there is contained,in the state
ments given by these militants
in outlining their position on
May 80 as against July 4th.
They feel that they cannot agree
to further delay and express the
wishes Of their state organizations.
H. r. Martinson, for instance, secre-
tary of the Farmer-Labor Party of
North Dakota, president Of the Fargo
Trades and Labor Council, states
that year ago. the railway unions
in this territory were for a farmer
labor party. They went TO the Non
Partisan League conference believing
that it would form such an organiza-
ton but were disappointed and they
are now solidly behind the recently
formed North Dakota Farmer-Labor
Party.
Both Martinson and Dad Walker
agree that only for lack of finance
due to the poverty stricken condition
Of unions and farmers the complete
organization Of North Dakota would
be an easy accomplishment. "Wc
are forced to delay organization
work, except what can be done by
correspondence until the cows come
in fresh and the hens begin to lay"
said Martinson.

party in North Dakota is Senator

avoided a clash here today when
eight auto loads of Knights of the
Flaming Circle dispersed without
making their threatened attack on S.
Glenn Young and Ku Klux Khan dry
forces.
Half of the state troops stationed
at Herrin were sent here when it was
reported that members of the "Circle"
were planning to war upon Young and
returned to Marion last night.
Several hundred klansmen with
four machine guns mounted guard
turnout the night, barricading a
garage where Young sought refuge
when news of the attack reached him.

BIG DISASTER

No. Hope Held Out For 1873
Coal DiggGTS
Especial to The Daily worker

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah,
March 9.-Clne hundred and
eighty-three men are believed
to be trapped in the Utah Fuel
Mine No. 2 at Castle Gate,
Utah, as the result of an explo-
sion that occurred in the mine
here.
The reports state that 1873
men entered the mine Satur-
day. No word has yet been re-
ceived as to whether any of
the supposed entombed men
have been able to make rileTf'
way to safety.
One Of the reseuers sent down
was killed and bursts of deadly gas
hamper the work, as black damp fills
the mine. All hope for the escape
of the men is lost.
Another battalion of the army Of
labor has fallen. The greed Of the
capitalists knows no limits and only
catastrophe like this brings to the
attention of the workers of the
United States the dangerous condi-
tions under which the miners toll to
roll up millions for their masters.
Most Of the miners were married
and have families. The scenes around
the mine are indescribable. Frantic
women, attempting to burst their
way to the pit are held back by
guards.
The first explosion occurred be-
tween s:15 and $3.50. It was violent.
Two more blasts followed in quick
succession.

EWSINCLAIR,
DOHENY ROLE
TO Be SHOWN
Mclean Tries To Shield
principal" Coolidge

WASHINGTON, March g.
That the oil robbers, who loot
ed the Teapot Dome and Naval
Reserve No. 1, were responsible
for the recent civil war in
Mexico, is the latest bombshell
to be thrown into the political
kettle in Washington.
The senate committee inves-
tigating the Department of
Justice expects to prove that E.
l.. Doheny, Harry F. Sinclair
and Albert B. Fall were in
volved in the recent Mexican
counter-revolution and had
helped to finance the attempt
to overthrow the Oregon govern
ment because the latter refused to
turn over the oil wells of Mexico to
the oil barons as Fall, DENLY and
Coolidge did in Washington.
That Senator Wheeler of Montana,
who is conducting the investigation
Of the Department of Justice will
have the aid of former members of
the Department of Justice in running
down the relations of the d. of ].
with the Teapot grafters, was stated
today. Their identity has not yet
been revealed.
The denial of Senator Curtis that
he was the principal, mentioned in
the White House-Palm Beach tele-
Graph correspondence as stated by
Ia E. Bennett, editor of the Washing
ton Post, throws the quest back again
to the White House and into the Of
fee of Calvin Coolidge.
1t is whispered here that Bennett on
the advice of Mclean is endeavoring
to shield Coolidge from the exposure
that would follow his direct connec-
ton with Ed. Mclean on the Teapot
scandal. Senator Curtis, however,
is not willing to be made sacrifice
to the presidential ambitions of the
huddled little figure in the White
House.
Senator Curtis was one of the Re-
publican chiefs who insisted on hav-
ing Daugherty thrown overheard to
tighten the ballast in the Coolidge po-
litical balloon.
Oil as medicine has come in for
some uncomplimentary references
here, since most of those implicated
in the Teapot scandal have taken sick.
Palm Beach is their favorite sanitari-
UNI.
The Public Lands Committee is still
wrestling with the Mclean code
names. Bennett identified Fall as
Apples, but Bennett claims he is
some other kind Of fruit. Mclean

"Get Rid of Harry
Senator Curtis Of Kansas, repub-

ington Post, today testified before
the senate oil committee.
"Curtis told me that the new presi-.
dent had asked him for some advice
about the new duties imposed on
him." Bennett said. Curtis said he
advised him to get rid of a certain
cabinet officer. 1t was Attorney Cen
