Ex-KLEACLE, IN
COURT, TELLS OF
KHAN KILLINGS
Plans for Murder of
Coburn Told

CHICAGO, April. Gold, calcu-
lated murder is described in the de-
position of David C. Stephenson, once
Grand Dragon" of the Khan in In
diana. In his deposition Stephenson
told startling story of intrigue, Of
ficial corruption and melting to mob
violence.
Stephenson told Of plans to murder
Captain William S. Coburn, one of
the original Khan organizers under
Col. Simmons. Coburn was assas-
sinated in Atlanta.
They first tried to frame him with
woman, the deposition states. The
date was July II in 1923 at Buckeye
Lake, O., in a cottage which / oc-
cupieds There were three men pres
ent. One was gunman. / was told:
"Coburn must be eliminated by one
means or another. He is trying to
bring out some things in a lawsuit
that will be extremely embarrass-
ing"
The next time was at yacht party
on Lake Huron in August, 1923. I
was seated next to man and of o
sudden he reached over, took my arm
and said confidentially: "Can you get
hold Of someone to bump Coburn
off? ?" l said "What do you mean?"
He replied 81 mean that Coburn must
be eliminated. If he brings out what
he's trying to in that suit I'll be
ruined"
He said swell, Pm going to get rid
Of Coburn and his whole outfit. If
old Simmons don't keep his mouth
shut we will send him down the road
with a man that will come back
alone"
Later at hotel in Cincinnati / was
told there was plot underway to dis
credit Col. Simmons and Capt. Co
burn by involving them with a
woman. I was told they were going
to take pictures of Coburn and Col.
Simmons and others on the black list
by the process of dual exposure,
create picture which would leave the
impression with the public that Col.
Simmons and Coburn were guilty Of
serious offenses against morality.

Predictions Of a G. o. P. victory
in their states by enthusiastic south
ern Republicans are not common IN
presidential years, but those forth
coming in 1923 have a more anthem
tic ring about them than any which
have emanated previously from the
solidly Democratic territory below the
Mason-Dixon line. Herbert Hoover
is said to be on even terms with his
rival in Virginia, to have a consider
able ledge" over him in Alabama,
Texas and Florida, while Tennessee
and Kentucky are counted safely Re-
publican. The south is being con-
verified to a protective tariff, the re-
ports add.
The best indication that the fore
casts have some basis is the concern
manifested by Democratic newspap-
ers in those very states; that is, such
of them as are supporting the Demo-
cratic nominee for president.
Appointment of Major-General j.
G. Hartford, president Of the Radio
Corporation of America, as financial
chairman of greater New York, is
readily understandable when the his
tory of ten years ago is recalled.
General Harbord's selection brings
into contact once more the two men
who did most to feed the American
army during the world war, when
Herbert Hoover was food admins
traitor and Harbord was chief of the
Service of Supply of the American
Expeditionary Forces. They were
two of the three greatest organizers
contributed by this country to the
allied cause, and the third, General
John ]. Pershing, is also supporting
Hoover and Curtis.
Senator Charles Curtis on his
eastern speaking tour has loaded his
guns with solid tariff ammunition,
and has found it extremely effective
among farm audiences. This is not
surprising when it is recalled that
the market prices of the 95 per cent
of the agricultural commodities pro-
duced in this country which are sold
in domestic markets have increased
from 30 to 70 per cent under a Re-
publican protective tariff.

The Political
PARADE
BY Harry X. Blackmon

Washington, ID. C.-Herbert Hoov-
err has swung his drive to the East
where the Democrats are centering
their efforts, and the Presidential
campaign is now focusing on the re-
cords and the availability if the can
didates of the two major parties. As
voters get down to the task of SER
ious consideration of presidential
problems. two economic issues as
sumo Importance above all others:
tariff and immigration. On both of
them Hoover and Curtis are able to
make the strongest. appeal TO the av-
erage voter, man or woman
The usual Democratic optimism is
voiced in Chairman Raskob's esti-
mate of 800 electoral votes for his
candidate. In his list he includes
New York, New Jersey, Rhode Is
land and Massachusetts, which went
Republican by two-to-one OF better in
1920 and 1924, and were carried by
Hughes in 1916, Nebraska, Minnesota.
Colorado. Montana. Missouri, Mary
land, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada,
all of which went substantially Re-
publican in both 1920 and 1924.
What Mr.. Raskob did not disclose
was how this revolutionary upset is
to be brought about.
The party pride of one Democrat
living in Washington received its
severest blow when announcement
was made of the leasing of the new
Hoover headquarters here on Massa-
chusetts avenue. "Why," he exclaim-
ed in a tone of unmistakable indigna-
ton, "the lady who owns that house
