INVESTIGATION
TO Be MADE
in RIOTINC
INQUIRY ORDERED IN FATAL
SHOOTING OF SIX PER-
SONS IN HERRIN ON TUES
DAY.

HERRIN, ILL.,, Apl 15.-(AP)
A jury of Williamson county citi-
zens will sit tomorrow morning in
inquiry over the fatal shooting
Tuesday in front of a Herrin poll
ing place in which three Klansmen
and three anti-Klansmen were
killed.
The jury is impanelled, and has
visited the morgue where lies the
bodies of the dead. Newspapers
men viii not be barred from the
inquest, States Attorney Boswell
announced today, dispensing ru-
mors to the contrary.
After the coroner's jury had
viewed the bodies, those of the
three anti-Klansmen were remov-
ed from the city to their homes
and the eorpses Of the three Klan-
men were taken to their kinls res
licences here. The body. of Al. E.
Treadway was sent to Paragould
Ark, that sCharles Briggs to
Marion, Ill.,. and that of Noble
Weaver to West Frankfort, Ill.
The funeral of Mack and Ben
Sizemore, two of the Klan victims
win be held Friday and that of
Harland Ford win be arranged
after relatives in other states are
heard from.
While the community awaits
the verdict of the inquest, it is
analyz:ng, each. side in the light
of its own sympathies. the cause
behind the strife which burst forth
renew Tuesday just as residents
were beginning to hope that an
eleven-month truce meant perma-
nent peace.
Relatives of the dead Klansmen
declare that the anti-Klan faction
launched the attack in reprisal for
liquor raids by s., Glenn Young,
Klan leader two years ago.
Young was killed january 4,
1925, when he engaged in a gun
battle in the lobby of "a Herrin
hotel, across the street from the
Smith garage where yesterdays
shooting began.
Mayor Marshall Mccormick, a
former Klansman named to Office
on a non-partisan ticket, bIames
bootleggers of the anti-Klan fac
tion for the Tuesday shooting,
while states attorney Boswell, q
Klansman, says the mayor and the
sheriff could have prevented
trouble had they "done their du-
ty." Sheriff George Galligan, an
anti-Klansman, had agreed with
Mccormick not to send deputies,
both believing it would only irri-
tate the situation which did not
look serious a few hours before
the actual outbreak.
The incident which served to fo-
Gus the shooting at the polls and
on primary day was the fight for
Sheriff of Williamson county. The
nomination was won by 0ren Cole
man. endorsed by the Klan, who
had a big plurality in a field OF
seven.

NAVY SURGEON TELLS
OF TREATM ENT
GIVEN COLONEL
WILLIAMS
tny AssoeIated Pressl

MARINE BASE, San UIego,
Calf, April 15.-With but a few
swallows of rebuttal testimony re-
naming in the bottle of evidence,
the cocktail courtmartial of Gem
eraI Alexander s. Williams today
is expected to turn down an empty
glass over brief arguments and
possibly direct verdict before
night.
Defense counsel for the sus.
: pended colonel of the Fourth regi-
ment of marines rested their case
late yesterday after introducing
evidence pointing to Brigadier
General Smedley d. Buffers tooth
trouble and Colonel Williams all
ments as underlying causes Of the
generals belief that the colonel
was Staggering drunk" at the ho-
tel Coronado on the night of
March 8, last. q. few hours after
the general had refused to drink
cocktails at the colonels home.
Hexyl resorcinal, a medicine
given to Col. Williams, half dozen
doctors explained, from the wit
ness stand, is unfortunately apt to
introduce gastric troubles, nausea
or dizziness.
One of the doctors, a navy SUR
geon, said he had been treating
the defendant since last January
for serious disorder which, while
II did not prevent Colonel Will
liams from fulfilling his military
duties. required him to continue
taking daily doses of hexyl resor-
einal.
But = few days after March 8,
the witness continued, Colonel
Williams returned to him with the
news that the medicine had been
giving him gastric irritation. Pre-
vious witnesses already had testi-
fled that when they saw Colonel
Williams at the hotel Coronado
on the right in question he ap.
peared sick rather than intoxi.

General Buffers condition, on
the other hand, said the surgeon
who examined him few days af-
ter the Coronado cocktail Incl
dent, was that of man suffering
from low blood pressure and ner-
vous exhaustion. "easily excited
and with poor vision in his left
eye"
Efforts Of defense counsel to
ask q hypothetical question bear
ing on the likelihood Of man in
such a condition mistaking illness
Is another for intoxication were
blocked but not before the drif,
Of the testimony was apparent.

mind upon revival of mining operations. In every phase ol of human activity it takes money to make money. III farming, manufacture, trans. oortation, merchandising, and every other commercial trans action, capital is a necessity of business.
 So it is in mining, where ev. en the richest veins must be opened, plant installed, trans portation provided, and reduc- ton to commercial form ac- complished before returns can oe had from the ore. All such financial organization of busi- ness is recognized as a part of the commercial structure and carries the same credit that the business itself has.
 Mining financing has been seized upon for criticism gen. arally, because of the miscon- duct of some operations in mining promotion. As a mat ter of fact, the financial poli- ties revealed in many banking institutions in Denver and else where show as objectionable operations as can be cited ill any of fraudulent mining pro motions, but the entire bank. ing business is not condemned because of such cases; nol should legitimate mine pro. motion suffer any greater dis credit.-Denver and Financial Record.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS

It is possible for a "go-get- ter" to be successful; but it is also possible to be successful without being in any sense a "go-getter". The "go-getter" is usually an individual who starts out to climb as high as he caa and make as much as he can. A commendable am bition, to be sure, if carried out in 8 proper way.
 Gibbons tells us of one of the most outstanding "go-getters" of all time-the Roman en- peror, Maxim. Maxim was a real "go-getter." In his youth he was lowly shepherd, grazing his cattle on the yer dant hills of Thrace. But, be- ing an ambitious person, and about eight feet tall, he decid- to join the army and make a name for himself. His one idea was to get ahead in the world and his promotion in the army was rapid. He secured the favor of the emperor Alexan> der Severus and repaid hin. by having Alexander put to death in Maxim's own tent. Maxim was then proclaimed emperor. The "go-Getter" had succeeded with mighty suc- cess; for the emperor of the Romans was then virtually the ruler of the known world. But, withal,, Maxim was not a success. After three bloody years of struggle to retain his position he was, assassinated by his own army.
 Meanwhile there were sev. eral million Romans not men, toned by Gibbons who were marrying and raising families; educating their children, keep ing their promises and trying to be decent, self respecting citizens. It is possible that in the opinion of Maxim they were mere no-accounts, fail ures. But in the long history of the human race they and those like them are the suc- cessful ones and Maxim and his like are the failures.

With the in- llation of mine and milling ma h-nery for handling the .:tenSive deposits of milling grade ore now being left be- hind there is an excellent p-o&necc that the income will ,. materially increased.
