HURLEY TALKS ON WATERWAY PLANS
Stresses Aid to Farmers in
 Cheaper Transportation

Washington, Dec. II (UP)-De- velopment of the nations water ways with a view to giving Ameri- can farmers the benefits of low-cost water transportation was enunciated as an administration policy by Sec retary of War Hurley yesterday in an address before the National Rivers and Harbor congress.
 There are five projects" Hurley said, dedicated to reduction of transportation costs between the farm and the seaboard. Improve ment of the Missouri river, deepen- ing of the upper Mississippi, com pletion of the Illinois river. amplifi- cation of the Great Lakes channel, and equalization of the St. Lawrence river need but be named to indicate their potential effects on increasing the farmers surplus, by reducing the transportation tax on his products. V
 The new secretary of war, making his first public appearance since his induction into office, expressed con- fidence the controversy which has arisen over certain phases of the Mississippi flood control program would soon be settled and said that, in the meantime. those parts of the work not involved in the contro- vcrsy were being prosecuted rapidly.

HEAVY FOG HALTS MUCH
 MIDDLE WEST TRAFFIC
Three States Blankcted By Mist Auto Drivers Forced to Creep
 Along in Cities

Kansas City, Dec. l Pt-A large part of three states, Missouri, Kan sas and Arkansas, struggled this morning to keep traffic moving through a dense fog which dropped over hundreds of square miles soon after dark last night. Air routes have been paralyzed since Sunday and motor traffic moved today at snail's pace.
 Streets here resoundcd through out the night to the din of motor car horns. In many low spots driv- CTS could not see even the radiators of their own cars. More than a score of traffic accidents were re- ported in Kansas City alone. but be- cause of the generally slackened speed of traffic none of them was serious.
 r Railroads maintained schedules from the west and southwest, n most instances, but many trains lost as much as an hour in moving through the train yards to the Union station.

 ELECT OFFICERS JAN. s
Annual Meeting to Be Held at Church-Christmas Play in
 T. \. B. Society Hall

The annual election of officers of the Holy Cross dramatic circle will take place on January 6. Several hundred members are expected to be present.

The play, known practically to all the residents of the Polish colony as "Yaselka,' was the first entertainment to be spon- sored by the organization. It is con- sidercd to be one of the largest and most popular organizations for the younger members of the parish.

Background of Mountain Feud In Arkansas Murder Mystery;
 Real Facts Are Still Unrevealed
Stranger in Mountain Country Looked Upon With Suspicion By Rival Victim" Returns to Town.

Mountain View, Ark, Dee. II CUP)-Bchind the scenes in the Connie Franklin murder mystery" lies a mountain drama of feuds and MoOnshine liquor-both as old as the Ozark hills that furnish the scenery.
 Two clans fought and one lost, thereby becoming virtually serfs to the yictors. Instead of Subsiding, the hatred of the losers became more bitter, smouldering most of the time but tlaring occasionally, only to be put down by the lash of night riders.
 Little of Fcud Known Little of this mountain warfare in the St. James community ever 1 became known to the law" down the mountain sides until Connie Franklin was reported mutilated, tortured and burned on a primitive funeral pyre.
 His girl" Tillic Rumicr. fright encd into silence for eight months, finally told her story. Five men were indicted and then Connie, pre- sumably dead. rcappeared. Tillic de nics the returned man is her former iiance. Others say he is. At any rate, the five men will be tried on charges of murdering Connie and probably the man who returned will sit in the court room at their trials. Only vague and uncertain stories of what happened back in the hills ever reached the "laW" outside. Men were killed. women were whipped, and yet each clan kept it's secrets,
 A graveyard up in the hills is par tially filled with men and women whose deaths may not have been natural. Prohibition meant little more than an increase price for the corn liquor distilled ill wooded can yons.
 Once in Insane Hospital
 It was into this scething macl- strom of clannish hatred that Connie Franklin, ignorant, iIlterate, former insane asylum inmate, came almost q year ago.
 ! l1t NtllI lO NoIh LOT ItllIldll 1 GreenWay as d farm hand. He was watched, for mountain folk are slow to take in and trust an "outsider.' He met and Woocd Tillie Ruminer. daughter of Charlie Ruminer, a poor, illiterate shares. farmer.
 Men of the community looked with disfavor on his intention of marrying one of their women, for Tillie had accepted him and taken him into the clan as her man. His disfavor grew as he got to know too much"
 Here the story forks" One leads to the alleged attacking of Tillie and her sweetheart on mountain road late on the night of March 9.
