IA Toilette GROUP
To ANSWER CUSTER
ON SENATE FLOOR

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The La
Toilette group in the senate, which
has been silent since the election
while senate Republicans oustcd
them from the party meetings, will
take the Warpath this week. At
east one ousted member intends
to bring the action formally to the
attention of the senate and his
peech is expected to prove the torch
hat viii set off a general blast.
Senators Borah, Norris, Couzens
and others in the Republican ranks
have indicated that they wish to
81 eak on the question and the de-
cision of one of the ousted members
tOsdefend his position will give them
the opportunity.
Senator La Toilette himself has in
tended to say nothing about the
custer proceedings. He has let it
be known that he is not especially
concerned over the action of the Re
pL bHcan majority in eXpelling him
and Senators Ladd, Frazier and
Brookhart from the party caucus.
Senators La Toilette and Brookhart
never attended any Republican
meetings, anyway, and they were
willing to let matters rest where
they are.
Coincidentally with the scheduled
explosion, two other La Toilette
n ovemepts will be inaugurated.
Senator Brookhart will demand in
the interstate commerce committee
that some early action be taken upon
the HoWell-Barkley bill for abolition
OF the railroad labor board and will
follow UP his demand with every
possible legislative maneuver.
Then on Friday tn, executive
council of the conference for pro-
gressive political action is scheduled
to meet here and decide whether to
continue a third party movement or
merely approve nominees of the two
old political parties in the next con-
8ressional elections.s Indications are
that no decisive action will be taken
at this time and perhaps not until
the entire conference gets together

of Bruce Snipes, who disappeared
four years ago, and Pete Phillips,
. [.a...y 1ricnd, we're held in the
Forsyth county Jail here today with
out bond, pending an investigation
into the death of Snipes, whose
skeleton was found in an old well
on a farm near here several days
ago. Officers are searching Tor
Moody O'Neal, who was reared In
the Snipes' home.
The arrests were made in recon-
mendation of County Coroner DaI-
ton, who filed a report Of his ind
ings with the clerk Of the court late
Saturday night. The verdict was
that Snipes came to his death IRON
a blow on the head inflicted by some
heavy blunt instrument.
The coroner recommended also
that Mrs. Snipes, Phillips ana
O'Neal be taken into custody pend
inc a full investigation.
Officials today were silent as TO
the evidence they have uncovered
regarding the circumstances sur
rounding the death of Snipes, VINO
was twenty-one years old, and had
been married but few months
when he disappeared. ONeal has
been seen only a few times since
Snipes disappeared.
Neither Mrs. Snipes nor Philips
would talk.
Bruce Snipes disappeared in NO
vember, 1920 The last time he was
seen, according to officers, he was
talking with his young wife. Two
DAYS later his automobile was
found standing near a Norfolk and
Western trestle in this city. rms
was the last known of him until
few days ago when workmen found
r. skeleton in an old well on the old
Bedenhamer farm, near herei The
skeleton was identified as that OF
Snipes by a shoe, a chain and locket
and fragments of clothing.
While declining to make puoilc
their evidence, officers let it be
known that they were working on
the theory that Snipes was lured
to the farm, slain and his body
thrown into the well.

that so doing would probably be

several days before it had been
planned, according to persons who
had been advised of Mr.. Dukes in
tentions. 1t had been planned first
to call together representatives of
the beneficiaries of the trust and ad-
wise them of it's terms. This meet
ing was to have been held here Tues
day and it was understood that many
of the beneficiaries had not been
definitely advised of this plan Word
of the plan, however, became public
in some manner and Mr.. Duke de-
cided to make the announcement
Monday.
Reports have been rife for many
months that Mr.. Duke planned to
create a large endowment fund for
Trinity college of which he and mem
bers of his family long have been
benefactors. Mr.. Duke already has
given several millions of dollars to
the college. B. N. Duke, of New
York, and the late General Julian S.
Carr, Of Durham, also were large
benefactors of the institution.

trust, in so far as the announce
ment shows, is that for Duke uni
