Creager Calls Heflin
Khan Propagandist;;
Replies to Charge

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a chal-
lenge to Senator Heflin, Democrat,
Alabama, to declare publicly wheth-
er he is affiliated with the I&u EluX
Khan. was sent TO the senator last
night by r. i. Creager, Republican
national committeeman for Texas.
In letter replying to Senator
HcfIiE's recent attack or him, Mr.
Crcager declared that his aCauser
was either a member of the khan
or a propaganda for It, and called
on him ito declare on the floor of
the senate your past and present
Khan affiliations.
Again denying in detail the scna.
Tors accusations that he mad inter
coded with Attorney General Daugh-
erty and Postmaster General Hayes
TO prevent prosecution Of land
frauds in Texas, Mr., Creager
pointed cut that all Of these charges
had been made "unGer the cloak of
it unfair that eX parte statements
senatorial immunity" and declared
should have been put into the rec
ord without his having an oppoTtu-
MY to reply.
IF charge you" the letter con-
tinued, with gross misstatements
of fact. . ! charge e. that
you never had any idea that the
United States senate would under
take an investigation Of this char
actcr.
II charge that . the alleged
land frauds are a mere preteXt seized
upon by you to discredit if possible
my persistent opposition to the Ku
KluX Khan and its political practices
resulting in the certification of the
name of Earle B. Mayfield as sena-
tor-eleCt from Texas, in whose covert
defense this resolution was conceived
and introduced.
Il charge that the introduction of
this resolution is the masked and
hooded political action of the Ku
kluX Khan directed against me solely
because of my earnest endeavor, to
the extent OF my limited power, to
bring about platform declaration by
both great political parties against
this un-AmeriCan secret political So
Getty of which you are a member
or else an active and sympathetic
prop gdndist"

COTTON

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of s to IS points today, owing to
relatively steady Liverpool cables
and rumors that private returns IN.
dicated domestic mill consumption OF
561 900 bales for January. compared
with 461 900 for December. The ad-
vance ran into considerable covering,
however. and after advancing to
1882 at the opening, May contracts
soon reacted to 1913, or within
point of Saturdays closing quota
ton. New Orleans also reacted after
an opening advance, and the market
here was barely steady during the
early trading under liquidation, To-
cal and western selling. Pr1Vate
cables from Liverpool attributed the
early firmness there to good spot
demand for export.
Nav sold off to 33.41c on the early
decline, but at this price offerings
became less active and after show
ing net losses of about % to 80 points
on old crop positions the market re
covered Is or 20 points on covering.
New crop months were relatively
steady during the entire morning
owing to reports of rain in the south
west, and October was or points
net higher at midday and old crop
positions were 8 to 10 points net
{. There was another furry of sell
ing during the early afternoon
which sent the price of May Off to
33.31c, or Al points net lower, while
July sold at 31.97c, making a net
decline of So points. New eOrleans
and local traders were credited with
selling, but general business was
very quiet and trading was CHEEKY
in the way of evening up accounts
for over-the- holiday tomorrow.

Mrs, Harding Opposed
By Texas Lawmaker

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Opposi-
ton to pending legislation which
would grant Mrs. Florence King
Harding an annual pension of $5,-
600 was expressed Friday by Rep
resentative Summers, Democrat
Texas, who wrSte a letter to Chair,
man Newton, of the house pensions
committee, asking for an oppor,
tunity to discuss his views
Mr.. Summers pointed out that
there were now widows of both Dem

dents and that congress could de.
cline to grant them annuities with.
out any show Of sectionalism or

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Wheat rose
sharply today on first trades with
July and September a new high on
the crop After the start trade be-
came lighter with prices covering
a narrow range. The advance was
stopped by realizing sales while rest
ing orders to buy were in the market
slightly above the previous close.
The sharp advance in Liverpool in
face of bearish statistics caused the
early buying. The advance in the
English market was attributed to
foreign buying. Worlds shipments of
over 81 ,000,o00 bushels and an in
crease of 7,4S0.000 bushels had no
effect.

in violation Of the law and under
circumstances indicating fraud and
corruption,
Conspiracy Scented
BOqfls told the committee the
Pioneer company, a subsidiary of the
Midwest Refining company, and the
BllgO company, had claims in the
Teapot Dome reserve and had drill
cd three wells, He added that there
might have been an understanding
between Doheny, Sinclair and the
Midwest crowd that there would be
a friendly cooperation between all
Of the companies"
That is my conclusion he said,
The witness was unable to say
whether Stacks complaint ever act
ually had been filed,
Asked if Sinclair knew of IT'S ex-
istence, Bonfils said he thought his
lawyer, II. II. Schwartz, had taken
a copy Of 1t to New York in July,
1922, when Schwart, BonfiIs, his
partner, II. H. Tammen and Stack
went there to see Sinclair.
