ADDITIONAL ASSETS OF
 LEO KORETZ LOCATED
Attorneys Decline To Say How Much Was Found But Cache of
 S25,000 Is Mentioned

Chicago, March 12.--Governmont attorneys today announced that they had uncovered heretofore unrevealed assets of Leo Koretz, promoter of the s5,000,000 Bayano River oil bubble In Panama, woh died a few weeks ago in the penitentiary at Joliet.
 The announcement came with the appearance of government attorneys and attorneys representing the re- ceiver for Koretz tangled affairs be- fore a referee in bankruptcy where a motion was made that the govern ments claim of $753,067 against Koretz' known assets of about s400,- o00 be dismissed. James T. Cotter assistant United States attorney said the money in question is stolen money and the government could not establish a legitimate claim to 1t, but added:
 However, we have recently un- covered other assets of Leo Koretz, an income at least part of which was lcgitimately obtained. We are not at liberty yet to disclose how much there is in this newly located fund, where It has been found or how 1t was obtained. But 1t should be known that we have found it and that we intend to support the govern ments legal claim against it."
 When Koretz was returned to Chi cago, practically penniless, from Ca nada, 1t was reported that he had cached upward of s150,000 of the quarter of a million dollars with which he had fled.

KLAN'S EFFORTS
 TOLD IN COURT
Alleged Attempt to Control Govt,
 Is Asserted

Houston, Texas, March 12.-Vol- luminous correspondence exchanged bv officials of the ku klux klan was introduced in evidence yesterday in the cross atcion suit brought by George B. kimbro. former grand goblin. against the order seeking $500, 900 damages for alleged de- famation of his character.
 Plans of the Klan to control the government of the United States through a Washington bureau was detailed in one piece of correspond ence signed by an imperial officer and sent out 10 all king kleagles. Another letter attributed the re- movaI of Alfred J. Taley as assist ant district attorney of New York, 10 the klan after Talley made an at tack on the order.
 The Washington bureau, according to the letter. was in charge of "Grand Goblin Terrell" and all king klcagles were ordered to write Ter i reIl in regard to eligibility of their respective congressmen and senators as members of the klan. Terrell's duty was to "naturalize" these rep resentatives and senators according to the letter. When klansmen can say that Senator So-and-so is a member of the organization. it will increase the respect of the order" the document read.
 The letter went on to say that since the republicans had gotten in power at Washington that employees at the capitol were "clamoring to get In the order to hold their jobs,' and that Catholics were going so far as to discard their Knights of Columbus pins"

MITCHELL RIGHT,
 LAMBERT ASSERTS
House Chairman Thinks Country
 Is Unprotected

Washington, March i2.-Chalrman Lampert of the house aircraft com mittee says in a statement that Brlgadier General Mitchell, assistant army air chief appeared to have been thoroughly vindicated in his testimony regarding the deficiencies in equipment and personnel of tho air service.
 The generals statement in regard 10 a lack of an adequate defense against attack from the air, MT. Lampert said, also appeared to have been borne out,
 Mitchell's testimony, Lampert de- clared was given because he consid cred 1t his duty and with tho ex- pectation of discipline which seems to have been meted out to him."
 The committee chairman said General Mitchell was the outstand- ing witness of the aircraft inquiry and that the "directness of his testi- mony was refreshing to the com- mittee when compared with seeing restraint on the part of so large a number connected with the air serv- ice"
 While s433,000OOo may have been spent during the last five years there has been no proof of waste or extravaganza" continued the state ment. However, the fact seems 10 stand out that the conservatism In the army general staff and navy general board has prevented eX- penditures for the requirement of modern aircraft equipment in suf- fclent numbers to establish Ameri- can supremacy In the air.
 "Trifling with our national secur- ity must stop. Startling revelations were made to the committee show ing that even today the services are buying aircraft which does not seem fit to fly and orders are out that many planes shall not be flown. Testimony was given which indi- cates that better planes are offered the services than have been bought. The lives of our aviators must not be sacrificed on an altar of conceit. reared by engineers whose judg- ment can be swayed away from the dictates of fact and science"

RISKS LIFE UNDER
 KNIFE OF SURGEON
Washington Doctor Operated on
 for Angina .PeCtOriS

Washington, March 12.-Dr. Char les II. Franzoni, a prominent Wash ington physician, submitted himself yesterday to one Of the most hazar- dous of surgical operations-that for angina pectoris. The operation was performed at Garfield Memorial Hospital by Dr. Henry Hyand Kerr, staff surgeon, in the presence of dis tingulshed surgeons from various parts of the country, who are in Washington for the annual clinical election of the American Congress on Internal Medicine.
 Angina pcCtoris is a dangerous condition of the chest and heart caused by faulty ganglion, or nerve centre, just below the nerve centre on the side of the neck.
 The problem confronting the sur- geon is 10 get at this gangion and divide one of the nerves in the neck going 10 the heart thereby removing the aggrayating symptom of the dis ease. To get at the ganglion, how ever. the surgeons knife must get around cluster of organs in front of the nerve centre. The surgeon has to manoeuvre his instrument in such a way as not to touch any of these other organs, including an artery, veins and important nerves.
 The operation is a comparatively new one and the slightest slip of the hand at the side of Dr. Franzoni's $ throat might sever one of several vital parts and perhaps cause death. Dr. Kerr was assisted by DTS. P. c. Cerna, H. C. Claud and Herbert II Schoenfeld.
 Not more than fifteen minutes elapsed from the moment that Dr. Franzoni, under an naesthetic, was wheeled into the operating room un- til he was taken out. While it is too early 10 note the results, the opera tion was characterized as eminently successful and Dr. Franzoni was re- ported to be doing well last night
 Dr. Kerr is the only surgeon who has performed the operation in Washington and this was his fifth effort. The patients recovered in three of the cases. While the opera ration on the fourth was successful, other complications resulted in death.

MESSING WIFE IS
 FOUND, BUT DEAD
Buffalo WOman's Body Beside That Of Man.-Murder Possible

Buffalo, x. r, March 1c.-An autopsy will be held today on the bodies of Norman Mack and Mrs. Rose C. Kahn who were found dead yesterday in a cottage on Fort Erie, Ontario.
 The police hold to the view that the tragedy was a murder and sui- eide, but there are circumstances that would indicate that the deaths were each accidental from gas fumes or the result of suicide pact.
 The bodies were so decomposed when found, death having occurred nearly two weeks ago, that super fetal indications were not sufficient to determine that the woman was strangled as first 1t seemed,
 Mrs. Kahn was the wife of 8 Buffalo tobacco dealer and Mack a nursery salesman working the On tario towns. The woman vas re- ported missing from home by her husband on February 2Nh. He says he never entertained any suspicion of her good conduct and when she left home she did not take with her her ieweIrv of considerable value, it is said, nor her best clothes. Fort Erie people report that Mack and Mrs. Kahn had heen there together at intervals for three years. When his wife disappeared, Kahn placed the case in the hands of q private detective agency. He knew of no reason why she should leave home, he said, and he feared she suffered from accident or foul play. Private detectives traced the woman 10 Fort Erie and came upon the lonely cot tage in which they found the bodies.
