6 DEAD AS CLAN
FEUD FLARES

LONDON, KY. Jan. 18 IN.SD.
The law of the statute books to.
day yielded to the unwritten law
of the feud.
Sheriff Harvey Steele confessed
himself powerless to cope with
Kentucky's latest outbreak of the
traditional war of clans. The of.
ficial admitted he expects lore
gunplay in this newest feud be-
tween the Crooks and the John
son families, which has already
cost four lives and placed two
of the feudiStS in hospitals.
The dead were buried yesterday
in the churchyard at New Salem,
where the gun battle was fought.
In the johnson clan the two
who died were Big Henry" IS,
and his brother Earl. 25. Little
Henry" Johnson, 81, is believed
dying from wounds. Willie John
son, II, brother of the slain men,
also was wounded.

son for it, that her reputation was
beyond reproach. that she was
the victim, not the perpetrator,
Of a foul crime.
I'VE are not attempting to ex-
press any opinion as to the guilt
or innocence of the accused men.
But this we can say. that if they
are innocent, their innocence

trying to befoul the character of
a good woman.

lice department are known TO

Sheriff Gleason knows, or can
easily find out if he has not as
yet taken the trouble to inform
himself. What is he going to do
about them? Is he going to keep
them on the police force?
"One of the most dishearten-
ing phases of the present situa-
ton is the appalling apathy of a
large part Of the community.
Tells Disinterest
while it is true that the re-
Sponsible minority. including the
leading business men of the city,
are thoroughly aroused and de,
termined on drastic action to
purge Honolulu of the disease
that is eating at her vitals, the
fact remains that there are many
who are little, if at all, interested.
Among them attack is looked
upon as mild peccadillo, assault
as a minor misdemeanor, the
raviShment Of mere children as
meriting only few months in
Jail.
When such a case is reported,
the tendency appears to be to
think the victim rather than her
ravishers must be in the wrong;
that the chances are she was a
willing victim. Innocence rather
than guilt is put on trial in their
filthy minds. They believe the
best of the ravishers and the
worst of their victim.
"Honolulu's reputation is
smirched, her virtue ravished by
these gangs of human brutes that
infest her streets. What is Homo
lulu going to do about it?

drastic and effective action that
will rid the city of crooked and
disloyal police as we'll as of sex

Insanity Defense Run1ored

the case predict that the trial will
take a sensational turn.
These persons are confident
that names and events in Winnie
Ruth Judd'S social life here will
figure in the transcript and that
the so-called Phoenix playboys
may hear their names mentioned
at the trial.
One man prominent in Phoenix,
whose name has been mentioned
in the case. but who is not ac
cuSed of an connection with the
crime, was expected to figure in
the testimony.
Mrs. Judd has frequently named
him as the genial big-hearted
man.about-town whose wealth and
position enabled him to befriend
and entertain her and her chums
in the carefree days before tragedy
struck at her happiness.
Paul w. Schenck, veteran Los
Angeles attorney, arrived here

Judd'S defense. He spent the

COPELAND ASKS
FOR j. s. AID
To CITIES
Amendment to Reconstruction
Bill Urges 100000, 1000
Municipal Loans

A drive. to provide Federal
loans to cities was reopened
in the Senate this afternoon
when Senator Copeland (DO
of New York offered an
amendment to the Admins
tration's reconstruction fl
nance corporation, setting
aside $2OO,O00,OOO for NUM-
cipal credits.
An appeal from Mayor James
M. Curley, of Boston, for such a
provision added momentum to the
drive. Curley declared the failure
to provide municipal credits would
work a greater hardship on the
cities of America than the closing
of banks.
walsh to Aid Fight
Senator Walsh CD of Massa-
chusetts, to whom Curley sent
his appeal, had it read to the
Senate. Walsh said he would join
with Copeland in seeking adoption
Of the $2OO,OOO,OOO municipal
fund.
The parliamentary tangle which
blocked the reconstruction finance
bill gave Copeland and his sup
porters an opportunity to reopen
the battle over municipal loans.
CurIey Sees Hardship
In his appeal for help, Mayor
Curley said:
Passage of the recOnStruc-
ton finance bill without in
clusion of a provision for loans
to municipalities of the United
States will result in greater
hardship on the people than
the closing of banks"
Curley warned Congress that
if Federal loans we're refused the
cities banks would be the only
possible source of money left for
the conduct of municipalities
He said banks were refusing
loans on anticipated tax returns
