COxey Plans to Make
 New Descent on Capital

New York. Feb. 17.-(F-"Gen- eral" Jacob s. Coxey who led his army of unemployed on Washington from Ohio in 1894 to demand "cheap money" has announced his intention of making new descent on the capital, but not with an army this time.
 Addressing an open-air meeting of the unemployed in Union square. he said he was going to Washington to urge passage of bill first proposed in 1898 to enable the government to print large quantities of money to be loaned to the various states and counties on the security of non-in- terest bearing bonds. According to Coxey's plan this money then would be used to give work to large num- bers of men whose labors eventually would enable the paying off of the bonds.
 He said he would head a move ment to "unhorse the coupon clip pers' back of the government.

sonally had put the alleged bribe before McCray. In 2 statement the attorneys said Jackson was pre- vailed upon to do their bidding be- cause of Coffin and Marsh who are scheduled to be tried later.
 The governor, however. will make public his evidence as soon as the Marsh and Coffin cases have been disposed of. the statement said. De- fense attorneys believed the Jack son evidence will convince fair minded persons that the charge of any wrong doing or criminal act on his part is wholly without foundation in fact"
 Prosecutor William H. Remy said he was not prepared to say whether tine state would appeal from the judges decision or what would be done with the cases of Marsh and Coffin.
 The closing minutes of the trial were strain on the governor. For the first time he was affected visibly when Judge McCabe took most of the afternoon to study over his de- cision. When the verdict finally was returned he gave the crowded court room his first smile since the trial began.
 Condemns klan
 Judge McCabe in his final decision vigorously condemned the Ku klux Kan, fear of whose power, the state charged. kept McCray from reveal ing the alleged offer of s10,000 and immunity from embezzlement charges then pending against him if he wohid appoint Mcdonald prose- cutor.
 Judge McCabe said he could not see how any governor of Indiana could have believed the klan could have controlled verdicts in the courts.
 T am perfectly aware of the slime and disgrace of that organization" " he said. There is no more regrettable bit of history in Indiana than the organization and participation in politics of the Ku Klux Klan. It has resulted in dishonor to the state of Indiana"

 The McNary farm price stabiliza- ton bill then will be taken up in will pass. despite President Cool idge's objections to the equalization fee provision. Debate however is expected 10 be extended and final action will come probably in two weeks-about the time the com- merce committee is ready to, report out flood control bill. The house is expected to get to work on the Reid compromise flood bill before that time.
 By the time these things are out of the way. the March 15 income tax returns will have been made and the senate finance committee can then determine whether the big tax re- auction bill passed by the house should be considered in the senate.
 Leaders have expressed hope that these important items can be clean ed up by the middle of May so that congressman will have a breathing space before the republican conven- ton June F. From long experience however, they are fearful that their program will face the delay which all their programs have in the past and they will not be surprised if ad- Journment is delayed until the final moment before the convention.
