There are sci highway detours in the

FLEET PATROL SHOWS
NO ACCIDENT CASE
Clubs 10 Trucks Travel 1900, 900
Miles Without Causing
Single Injury.

That the operation of motor vehicles
without accidents over long periods is
possible Is demonstrated in a check
made on the feet of highway patrol
cars of the Automobile Club of South
ern California. This fleet of Is light
trucks. during the past three years, mas
travelled more than 100000 miles
without killing or manning a single
person, and without any of the cars
being seriously damaged.
About half of the drivers of the high
way patrol feet have been on the job
since the plan of patrolling the high
ways was inaugurated three years ago.
While it is true that the auto club
drivers must pass rigid test before be-
ing intrusted with a highway patrol
car, consideration also must be given
to the fact that these men are daily
patrolling some 5000 miles of highways
in southern California, and all OF these
are heavily travelled roads.
These drivers not only take their
cars constantly where traffic Is heaviest
but they are also at work regardless of
weather conditions. They also travel
much of the time at the maximum
speed OF 40 miles an hour ON the open
road, as each car must travel from $50
to 200 miles daily
so FAR as can De aScerGaaned IToIfl

cording TO this average, the highway

AMERICAN AUTOS
INCREASE ABROAD.
New Monthly Peak of 5000
Reached in May, Figures
Show.

For the first time in automotive his
tory, purchases Of automobiles of Amer
lean design outside of the United States
reached a total Of SO, 900 In one month,
according TO figures Issued by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber Of Com
n1erce.
This total, which is the figure for
May 1923, is at the rate Of one million
sales year Of American automobiles in
the world markets. Whiieit Is not ex-
pected that the 1923 total will reach
the million mark, 1t Is believed by lead
ers in the automobile industry that the
$4,000 will be an average monthly
figure rather than a peak figure within
the next two or tnrea years.
More than $4,000 jobs1 in one month
have been created IN the countries
where these automobiles have been pur-
chased, according to the Automobile
experience in the United States, where
there are 3,1i5,00o persons employed
as garage men, repair shop employees,
schauffeurs, truck drivers, road builders
and others in the field Of motor trans
portation. Dividing this total into the
motor vehicle registration in the United
States gives employment to one mans
for every z cars IN use in the country.
The figure does not include those en-
gagged directly or indirectly In manu-
facture
The sale Of one million cars In world
markets would mean more than 10000
jobs for citizens in the country of pur-
chase.
The total Of $4,000 represents the net
total of automobiles of American de-
sign purchased in countries outside Of
the United States including all exports
and other methods Of marketing. Sew
eral years ago the export total alone
told the complete story. At present,
however. there is big production OF
American-desien cars by Canadian
companies in Canadian factories There
is also large amount of foreign as
sembly of cars. the assembly being
sometimes of parts shipped from Amer
lea and other times including many
parts made in the country Of purchase.

Mrs. Carson admitted that she

The next thing that she remem-

The defense intimated that some

he committed suicide. Evidence was
introduced to show that he had fits
of melancholy when he had been
drinking.

LAND DEALS CHARGED
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Presi-
dent Coolidge's biting denunciatior
of the Jones-Reid Mississippi hooc
control bill, which carried the i'm
plication he suspects some scandal
behind some of its provisions, APP
parently had changed no votes to-
day in the House.
Sponsors of the bill said today
a canvass they have made showed
303 votes in the House for the
measure, enough to pass it over a
presidential veto.
Republican leaders resumed ne
gotiations today for a compromise
which would meet the views OF
President Coolidge, but little prog
ress was reported.
Notifications which the President
insisted upon are:
That limit be placed upon ex-
penditures involved in the flood
control measure.
That contracts for the project be
let only through the army engi-
neering department so as to avoid
all suggestion of scandal.
That local communities guarantee
levee spillways.
Conference Is Held
Major General Edgar Jadwin
army engineer chief, was called into
conference with Republican leaders
and three Democratic members OF
the Flood Control Committee, Re-
personalities Whiting of Mississip-
pi, Driver of Arkansas and Wilson
of Louisiana.
Republican leaders present were
Speaker Longworth, Chairman
MAIDEN of the House Appropriations
Committee and Chairman Smell OF
the House Rules Committee.
No agreement was reached, but
Madden said conferences would
continue with other members Of the
House particularly interested in
flood control.
Senators Sackett, Kentucky, and
RanSdell. Louisiana, members of the
Senate Commerce Committee who
called later at the White House
told newspaper men after their con-
ference with the President, they felt
"the interest Of their constituents
would be exceedingly safe in the
hands of the President" and that
they concurred with the Presidents
opinion on the pending flood control
measure"
The Presidents criticism of the
measure Tuesday, much stronger
than his former announcements
was followed by an attempt in the
House by Representative Frear
(Rep0, Wisconsin, to hook up the
activity of Mayor William H
Thompson and former Senator Will
liam Lorimer with the alleged de-
sign of corporations and large land
owners to profit in sale of land
necessary for foodways.
Urges Probe of Motives
Lorimer told the United Press
later that his son, who is interested
with him in the flood area, intends
within day or two to make a for
NAL offer to Congress giving the
Government the right-of-way over
all of his land free of charge, waiv-
ing all claims upon the Federal
treasury.
President Coolidge has urged the
press to explore the motives behind
some provisions in the measure.

who is scheduled to address the
West Side Indianapolis Khan at
Odd Fellows Hall, w. Washington
and Addison Sts., Thursday, de-
clared today.
Smith has Offices at 724 Cont

ferS with Khan leaders, past, pres
ent and future. Today Robert w.
Lyons, Richmond, Ind, former Indi-
annapolis attorney and one time
Khan counsel for D. c. Stephenson,
was among those who conferred
with Smith. Lyons gained fame
during the trial of Governor Jack
son when he was stricken with APP
pendicitis over the Ohio line and
was unable to appear as a witness.
No More Parade's
Smith says that he is not an Of
ficer of the Klan now, but is spend
ing -four or five nights a week
making speeches to Klansmen.' "
Tuesday night he talked at Kokomo.
There are five active Klans in
Marion County now, he says, and
Robinson is going to get the mem
berS votes.
''The Khan, as such, isn't going to
make the mistake again of officially
indorsing a slate" Smith declared.
'KlanSmen know who to vote for
men who stand for their ideals"
There will be mo more paradeS'
according to Smith and the visors
are not worn by the fourth degree
knights of the Great Forest. These
are klansmen who have taken the
fourth step, but they are still K. K.
K, Smith asserts.
1.-THE public mind is mistaken
about this knights of the Great
Forest business" he explained.
"They are just fourth degree klans-
men. They are called knights of

Indiana Khan Not Dead
Indiana K. K. K. has no grand
dragon now and may not have for
some time he says. So-called Dragon
Joseph Huntingdon is an imperial
representative. The dragon must
be appointed by Hiram Wesley

Pittsburgh Klan trial. Asked what
he thought of Evans, Smith said:

BIZ OHLtGU ITtoo
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Justice
Jennings Bailey today rejected the
testimony of Edwin DENLY, former
secretary of Navy, in defense of
Harry F. Sinclair at Sinclair's trial
on charges of conspiring to defraud
the Government.
Denly was understood to have
been ready to testimy that he was
responsible for the lease of Tea
pot Dome to Sinclair under the
navys national defense policies.
He so testified eighteen months
ago at the trial of former Secre-
tary of Interior A. B. Fall and E. L.
Doheny, oil man, who were &C
quilted.
But Justice Bailey, after a whis-
pered conversation with attorneys,
refused to allow him to answer
even whether Navy officials kept
him fully advised on negotiations
for the lease.
Thereupon, DENLY was excused by
the defense and by the Government,
Blow to Defense
The development, regarded as a
damaging blow to the defense, came
after j. K. Robson, Denby's oil ex-
pert in 1922, when the leases were
made, testified that the possibility
of a combination" of powers
against the United States made
large supplies of fuel oil for the
fleet necessary.
This oil was to be furnished I'M
der the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills
leases.
