mittedly, and also to those who,
by their action, have shown that
they belong to it, even tho they
do not possess the courage to pub
licly declare that they do.
The only sure way to cure an i'll,
whether it be social or otherwise,
is to remove the cause, and the
cause of the trouble at Herrin ie,
in our mind, the desire to avenge the
deaths of the "scab-herders" who
were loaded up with death-dealing
armament and sent into Herrin to
help break the strike of 1922. To do
this dirty job, the Klan-paid usurper,
S. Glenn Young has injected him.
self, armed to the teeth, and the
disorder and chaos that now pre-
walls there is a direct result. He
is the cause of all the trouble and
should be summarily punished for
his acts.
Young boldly declares that the
law viii be administered and that a
speedy justice" will be melted out,
and now that he has made such a
declaration he should be given a
dose Of his own medicine. There
should be no hesitancy about plac-
ing the responsibility for the Herrin
outrages on the shoulders Of the
Ku Klux Khan and its agent, S.
Glenn Young. They are without a
doubt the cause, and the cause should
be speedily removed, SO that the
poor innocents who have been de-
tailed to Herrin as National Guards
men, under orders from the state,
can return TO their families and
peaceful pursuits, and allow the
people Of Herrin to do likewise.

Arrangements will be made to

Investigation of public lands by
former Secretary Fall has been
broadened to include his leasing of
certain Indian lands.
Fall ruled that unallotted Indian
lands could be leased if the admin
istration saw fit. The legality of
this ruling was questioned by the
subcommittee of the House Indian
affairs committee, which yesterday
reported unfavorably a bill to pay
the Indians royalties accruing from
such leases.

When the senate committee re-

Stack, Denveri repudiated the testi-
mony of George Creel. Creel yester-
day said he didn't know E. L. Do

to get Teapot Dome.
"Mr. Creel knew that Mr.. Doheny
was the man behind our project"
Stack said, seven tho he told me
he didn't"
Stack and Creel were associated
during the last administration in at
tempting to get the Teapot lease
for Doheny.
Stack said he got $4,000 from Do
heny and gave it to Creel

me to the officials in the various

said.
Stack said Creel introduced him
to Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
Stack tried to prevail on Daniels
to lease the naval reserves, but Dam

Stack said his plan was not aban-
doned. however, because "the incom-
ing administration of President Hard
ing was practically committed to
leasing the lands.'
Stack Collected.
The Pioneer Oil company has been
secretly pressing to get the leases.
Pioneer had the advantage, Stack
said, because of certain warranted
claims to sections in the Dome.
Doheny became disheartened then
and withdrew.
But in order to reward Stack for
his work Doheny had the Pioneer
a Standard Oil subsidiary-give
Stack a contract. This contract gave
Stack 5 per cent of any profits if
the leases were obtained. AS a pre-
liminary advance to Stack for his
work, the Pioneer gave him $4,000,
he said.

Star Subject Of Gossip.
Rumors concerning the sale Of the
Marion Star, the late President
Harding's newspaper, came to the at
tention of the Senate Teapot Dome
Committee some time ago, it was
learned today.
The committee has not investigat-
ed them, members said, because there
is no definite information to 60 on.
When shown Frank A. Vanderlip's
speech suggesting inquiry into the
sale of the Star, members of the COM
mittee said they did not feel war
ranted in investigating it unless some
Substantial and definite information"
was furnished.
The Senate today broadened its oil
investigation to cover international
dealings of big American oil interests.
The resolution Of Senator Dill,
Washington, was adopted, calling on
the State Department for information
concerning international activities Of
American oil men.
It is aimed particularly at Harry
F. Sinclair, lessee of teapot dome,
who recently made oil leases in Persia
and who is reported to have been ne
gotiating with German and Russian
interests, and Edward L. Doheny,
who has Mexican oil.
