Wide Split in Republican
Ranks Follow K. K. K.
Activities.
BY DICK MILLER
Times stan Writer

When the regular Republican
slate is passed on TO the ward and
precinct workers late Monday, with
Instructions. There are the can
didates Cap wants to put over,
several names regularly on the list
in years gone by will be missing.
At any rate, that is the idea
gathered from conversations be-
tween henchmen of George V.
Cap Coffin.
The Ku-KluX Khan organization,
which once controlled the Repub-
lican party in Indiana, is making
a determined effort to make itself
a political power again. With its
early activities, it seems, came a
wide split in the Marion county
G. o. P. ranks.
Doc" Farrell, national repre-
sentative of the khan, who has
been entrusted with the work of
reviving the once strong organiza-
ton in Indiana, is reported to have
sought out Coffin when he first
came to town.

Meaning In Policy.
They said Der Fuehrer's hands-off
policy in the Evangelical Protestant
Church fight may mean non-interfer-
ence with Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, philo-
sophie dictator Of the Third Reich,
and Julius streicher, publisher of the
Stormer. Both are active In the Nazi
party and are, respectively, head Of
the pagan faith and anti-Jewish move

The Hitler policy, 1t was said, might
also mean cancellation Of the con-
cordat with the Vatican, since what
is fair for the Protestants is fair for
the Catholics"

By CIaFFoRD MoORE

This thing which happened, I've heard of it happening on battle fields but even there very rarely. I remember once having seen a pho tograph in a newspaper of a sim liar occurrence, but, of course, it came about under quite different circumstances. That it should take place in an isolated case like this-the chances against it (if 1t were chance) being so tremendous ly great-if had not actually wit messed thet hing might not have believed.
 They stood fifteen paces apart, each with his back to one of those great moss-laden oaks which are so
 common to the deep south. So
 calmly did these two crack marks
 men stand there in the infant
 morning that if it had not been for their weapons a passer-by might have thought no more than that they were seeking refuge from the approaching storm.
 Their attitude toward each other in case like this was almost too much for me, who knew them so well, to comprehend. Each eyed the other like a father, who, be- ing well pleased with some act of great courage or chivalry about to be performed, might look upon his son.
 The sky, boiling and flashing, suddenly burst with deafening roar and poured deluge into our midst, as if even the heavens were protesting that which was about to be done. It wasn't right that these two. who for years had been like unto Damon and Pythias, should deliberately attempt to snuff out each others life. I, who was their mutual friend, had tried un- til the last to effect a reconcilia- tion.
 Think, Cornelius" I had plead ed with the one on the night pre- ceding. "dueling is not the way that these things are settled in this age. It is obsolete. It is illegal. It's foolish. It just isn't done, old chap. Besides, he is your very good friend. Stop this thing. I be- seech you!"
 "It is the only way" he replied sadly. "Is it the way my ances- tors and his ancestors would have settled it, and it is the way that we shall settle it.''
 But" said, still hopeful, "you admit that Philippe didn't know that this woman was the one you intended to, marry. From your own lips have heard that he had never seen her before.''
 Ut makes no difference," he an- swered. My friend, you appar- ently do not understand. It is a think of honor. Honor for which

 Like unto one the two guns fired.
 For an instant I could not bear to look, and when I did there they stood like two marble statues, their guns not yet lowered; as if each were waiting for a dreaded thing to happen, suddenly hoping that it wouldn't happen, and yet knowing that it must.
 Then suddenly they moved, like figures in a tableau who, having finished their act, break the pose in order to convince the audience that they are things of life. And while looked on in utmost amaze ment they strode toward each other, and halfway between those trees beneath the boughs of which they had just attempted to kill each other they embraced in mu- tual affection.

SILVER BILLS

BY international News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt'S opposition
and renewal Of the Treasury's
drive to learn the names Of those
holding silver for speculative pur.
poses today doomed the hopes Of
the silver bloc in Congress of en-
acting the silver inflationary
measure voted by the Senate Ag-
riculture Committee earlier in the
week. iSE54es
Although some of the silverites,
such as Senator Wheeler D0, Of
Montana, do not want to parley
with the White House, quite q
few Of them, headed by Senator
King D), Of Utah, plan to seek
q compromise with the President
and have some sort Of a bill passed
to. raise the price Of the white
metal. v|

they found themselves all agreed
for the first time on a specific sill
YER bill, and were elated when the
Senate committee adopted it
unanimously. s>e -'.-. o.. '
Already the House has passed
the Dies bill, which would allow
the exchange Of farm surpluses
in foreign countries for silver
rated at a figure somewhat
higher than the world price.
But when the Senate got the
measure it expanded it into an
inflationary plan which would
have the Treasury devalue the
silver dollar as it has the gold
dollar and buy all silver until the
price was hiked to $1.29 an ounce,
or until commodity prices reach
the 1925 level.

CHICAGO, April 28.-The hog
market was slow today. There was
general lack of demand although a
few scattered bids and sales were
around 1910 downward. Prices re-
manned nominally steady and the
nominal top held unchanged from
yesterdays figure at $3.95. Receipts
Of 5000 were fewer than had been ex-
pected and well under offerings Of
both a week ago and a year ago.
Most outside markets were dull and
prices ranged steady. The average
price Of hogs here yesterday was $3.75,
es compared with $385 for last week
and last year.
There was little activity in cattle,
with only 200 receipts on hand. Com
pared with Friday week ago medium
weight and weighty fed steers ruled
80 cents higher. The general market
was very active on all grades Of
weighty animals during the week with
the top reaching $3.50, a new high
since November, 1882.
A run of 1000 sheep today served
10 keep the market steady. Compared
with prices Friday last week clipped
lambs we're 40 to SO cents higher and
most other grades of muttons showed
price improvements. A weak top of
8l0.25 for wooled lambs was the
highest since June, 1881 and the
highest April top in four years.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY H. N. McGILL,

Editor. McGin Commodity Service. Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, April 28 (P
Commodity prices during the past
week continued the downward trend
Only 4 out Of IA groups registered
strength and in each case the up
swing was Of fractional nature.
Seven groups averaged lower, with
pronounced price weakness character
izing agricultural products and tex
tiles. Price declines in other groups
were limited. Three groups-chem-
icals, fuels and paint materials-re-
main unchanged. Although the
physical volume of production and
distribution has steadily advanced
since the first Of the year, the same
is not true Of commodity prices. A
peak for this year was reached in the
third week of March and since that
time the weekly index has registered
six consecutive declines.
Industrial prices declined, following
a high for the year a week ago. The
underlying trend, however. has moved
upward with little interruption since
February year ago.
Farm Prices Down.
Agricultural prices lost more ground
than any other group. Cotton, in
particular, was weak, breaking under
the 11-cent level. Wheat, barley and
eggs also averaged lower, which more
than counteracted the moderate
strength noted in corn, oats, rye, flax
seed and butter.
Live stock prices moved upward
slightly, rejecting some gain in the
price average of hogs and lambs. Cat
tie prices failed to register strength
during the week.
Building materials climbed to a
new high, due to the price mark-up
In nails.
Non-ferrous metals failed to gain,
the index averaging lower than a
week ago. Copper and lead held the
gains recorded earlier in the month
and tin was stable. Silver, however,
declined sharply, carrying the price
average down.
Ferrous metals again moved up
ward following the unusually broad
advance Of a week ago. The COM
posite price Of pig iron moved higher
and finished products such as nails
and wire were quoted on q. higher
basis.
Fine Textiles Decline.
Fine textiles declined sharply. Wool
is now quoted under the highs estab-
lished earlier in the year; cotton
broke under the 11-cent level, which
caused weakness in yarns, while the
price average Of silk also declined.
Coarse textiles lost some ground
due to weakness in burlap and hemp.
Most important price changes in
the McGill weekly price index Q926
