ALLEGED DUPLICATION OF GOVERNMENT
BONDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY HOUSE

tBureau Of Publication and Education)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 81
The house of representatives has or
dered an investigation by a special
committee of the Brewer charges re-
garding duplication of bonds and
other negotiable government paper
at the bureau of engraving and
printing.
The house passed the Smell resolu-
tion, which is a substitute for the
King resolution, ordering that this
investigation shall be made by a
special committee of five members
to be appointed by the speaker.
Chairman Smell told the house that
he had consulted with Secretary Mel
ion who advised him that the govern
ment had not lost any money by. du-
plication Of bonds, but that he favor
ed the investigation in order that the
entire controversy which had de.
Veloped into a scandal might be
cleaned up.
Representative Watkins, Demo
crat, of Oregon, questioned whether
this special committee would go in
to the summary dismissal of officials
at the bureau of engraving and
printing by order Of the late PreSi-
dent Harding. Chairman Smell re-
piled that an inquiry into the dis
missals was not necessarily contem-
plated in the resolution.
Representative Garrett, of Ten
nessee, minority leader, explained
that if in the investigating the du-
plication of bonds the trail led
across that of the dismissals from
the bureau so that the subject be-
came interviewer, the investigating
committee had authority to inquire
into the question of dismissals.
Chairman Smell agreed with this in
depreciation and others argued for a
real investigation that would clarity
the matter.
The investigation ought to also go
on and disclose the purpose and the

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA, April l.
(Gwinnette County JournaD-Dis-
crediting the black reports that

posed to have been Klansmen and ex-
tended to them a helping hand.
Mrs. Marlowe, resident of Law
renceville, is a widow to whom the
klansmen carried money.
On Saturday night a number of
white-robed men were seen to leave
Lawrenceville; it is understood these
men went to the aid of another wi
dow, Mrs. Wiley, of near Gloters.

home for over two years, and who
has no means of support whatever.

nus Johnson. of Minnesota, is a La
Toilette follower, and he said on the
floor of the senate the other day that
he didn't care what happened to the
Republican party. That so far as he
was concerned he would like to help
give the Republicans the licking Of
their lives. That reflects the LaFol-
lette sentiment right now as it exists
in congress.
Bonus Up to Coolidge
1t is we'll known fact that Presi-
dent doesn't like the idea of bonus
baby being left on his front door step
one of these days, and he sees it COM
ing up the White House driveway.
Congress seems to be the wet nurse
and the president is wondering what
to do with the thing when it arrives.
1t is now thought in Washington that
If the president vetoes the bill as he
has indicated that he would, that
congress can muster up the necessary
strength to pass it over his veto.
Judging by the overwhelming vote
by which it passed the house 353 to
54, the house can make it jump the
veto all right, and presently we shall
see what the senate does with it.
The country is at that stage where
it is getting anxious as to what leg
islation this congress is actually go
ing to put through. There is the
taxation question, immigration and
hundreds of other good things yet in
the background and we are almost
up to the first of April. Perhaps con-
gress is going to play an April fool
joke on US and get mighty busy next
month. There may be such thing
as this congress becoming actually
fatigued at its own apparent idleness
in getting down to real legislative eff
forts and stop all this investigation

Visit to Khan Robe
Factory Interesting

THOSE who have never visited the
Khan robe factory in Buckhead,
Georgia, have missed a most
fascinating and enlightening sight.
Not only are Klansmen welcomed,
but all interested persons are invited
to visit the factory and see the much
talked-of Khan robes in the making.
And their time will not be wasted.
Over 10000 yards of cloth 60 into the
making of 1850 robes daily. 1t is
an example of the perfect co-ordina-
ton of effort that has made the Khan
the most talked-of organization of
all time.
The factory's motto is, Twenty
four hours service" And that motto
is no idle threat. They are working
night and day to maintain a surplus
of 10000 robes-and doing it. But
it has proven no easy task. 1t has
been found necessary to install ev-
cry conceivable modern appliance to
keep up the required output and, at
the same time, to put the cost of
robes to individual Klans, at as low
figure as possible.
The factory will probably be in
stalled in it's new three-story build
ing within the next 80 days. The ad-
ditional room should relieve the pres
sure Of maintaining this production.
At that time the old building will
be utilized entirely for the Klan

R. B. Creager, of Brownsville, Texas,

committee on post office and post
roads of the senate.
Mr.. Creager and his company stand
charged by Senator Hefin, of Alaba-
ma, and others with having defraud-
ed MANY persons during a period of
years out of money through the sale
of land in Cameron and Hildalge
counties, Texas, in the Rio Grande
valley.
Mr.. Creager also stands charged by
Senator Heflin with being instrument

ficials of the postoffice department
and the department of justice in hav-
ing an investigation of the alleged
frauds dropped. Senator Hefiin is
being assisted in his role of prose
cutor" by James r. Page, of Kansas
City, Mo-, an attorney who has in
vestigated the matter and also by a
number of postal officials who are to
give testimony.
Voluminous correspondence be-
tween the postoffice and justice de-
partments and their field branches
and between federal officials in
Washington and individuals outside

development companies in the Rio

Texas, to have the investigation
which was being made into the Ala
mo Land and Sugar company by a
postal inspector from the Kansas
City district transferred to the jur-
isdiction of some other agent.
Mr.. Creager charged that j. M.
Donaldson, the inspectator who
started the inquiry, was prejudiced,
and Creager used his influence to
have the case taken away from him
and given to Philadelphia man. Be-
ginning in October, 1921 soon after
Mr.. Creager and other land company
officials had called at the postoffice
to ask, according to Testimony, that
no action be taken until the new in
spector had completed his investiga-
tion, the correspondence covered a
period of some four months.
When Attorney Page told the COM
mittee about the inquiry being drop

feet with hot protest.
