NO TRACE OF
DARING BANDITS
I)env?r, Col., Dec. 19.?Denver state ^
and federal authortiies tonight after
a day and night spent in searching for
the bandits, who yesterday morning
shot ?nd killed Charles Linton, stole j
a consignment of currency of $200,000
from federal reserve guards and then
made their escape in one of the most
oaring and sensational holdups ever
btaged in the West, were without tangible
clues as to the identity of the
bandits.
Police, sparred on by the offering
of a reward of $10,000 for the bandits,
dead or alive, by the city and county
of Denver, and by an additional reward
aggregating $6,000 offered by
the Kansas City Federal Reserve
bank, admitted that although they had
many clues that promised possibilities,
they were still far from the solution
of the hold vp.
Tonight a squad of 14 detectives
is engaged in watching a rooming
house in the immediate vicinity of
the government mint, where earlier in
the day a car, evidently left on the
street by the bandits to be used in
case of accident to their own machine
during the hold up, was discovered
through information furnished by a
woman. The car, an investigation
showed, had been stolen. The automo\
bile, according to the woman, had
been parked on the street by three
men, about an hour preceding the hold
up and subsequent gun fighting on
the front step of the main entrance
to the mint.
That the robbery was accomplished
by Denver bandits and not by outside
highwaymen, is the belief of Chief of
Police H. R. Williams and the search
for,them is being conducted with that
theory in mind.
Roads leading into the mountains
were thoroughly policed today by details
of policemen in an effort to find
trace of the escaped men but all
searching parties reported to headquarters
their trips had been fruitless.

TROOPS LEAVE I
FOR MER ROGUE
Monroe, Louisiana, Dec. 20.?Sixtyfive
National Guardsmen with three I
officers, who left here last night on i
a mysterious journey, camped at Mer c
Brogue today. Governor Parker and <
state officials declined to state the ]
reason. Tha Hoop's commander. Cap. j
tain Cooper, over the telephone, said ]
he knew nothing except that he was c
ordered to go to Mer Rouge. It is 1
generally believed the movement is l
connected with the situation growing i
out of the kidnapping of five Mer <
Rouge citizens last August, two of <
whom are still missing. One report j
was that the troops were to guard the
court house during the opening of the ?
inquiry into the kidnappings; another (
was that the bodies of Watt Daniels ^

Monroe, La., Dec. 19.?Company G, t
Louisiana National Guard, consisting
of 65 men and three officers, under
command of Capt. D. W. Cooper, mov- .
ed out of Monroe today on automobile .
trucks for Mer Rouge, in Morehouse
parish, under orders from the adjutant
general's office at Batron Rogue. .
Although no definite information of '
the purpose of the military company
at Mer Rouge has been received here,
it is understood the troop 3 were call. ^
ed in connection with the situation (
brought about by the kidnaping last {
August by hooded men of five Mer
Rouge citizens, two of whom have c
disappeared.
One report was that the troops had c
been ordered to Bastrop, Morehouse x
parish seat, where they were to guard 1
the court house there for 30 days, in- 8
dicating. that an opening hearing into
the kidnapings decided on recently at
a conference between Gov. John M. 8
Parker and Attorney General Coco *
would be held immediately. 8
Captain Cooper, who was ordered to '
Baton Rogue several days ago, pre- c
:umably for a conference with Gov- 1
emor Parker and other state officials, 1
returned at noon but refused to dis- '
cuss the reason for the military or- (
der.
In addition to arias and anunohT- 1

May*i Rdbert Pade of Mcr"lEogue| ?
in response to a message as to condi- <
uons tnere, stated tonight there has 1'
been no disorders of any kind at Mer >
Rouge for several months. Morehouse 1
parish officials expressed surprise that 1
troops had been sent into the parish, <
stating that normal conditions pre- t
vailed there. i
The five Mer Rouge citizens, including
Watt Daniels and Thomas F. 1
Richards, the two missing men, were <
kidnaped on the night of August 24, i
by 30 or 40 hooded men. They were j (
taken into the county and a whipping' I
administered io at least two of them, i i
Three of the party, including John' i
Daniels, father of Watt Daniels, were 1 \
released and after wandering all night' <
in the woodi >etumed to their homes i
the following morning. <
Nothing has since been heard from j
Watt Daniels and Richards. Parish ,
authorities, axeisted by citizens of |
Mer Rouge, instituted a search for |
the missing men, which has continued j
since the kidnaping appeals by rela- J.
tives of the two men were made to j j
Governor Parker and parish officials,!'
but all efforts of authorities to ferret
out the perpetrators have failed. Theories
have been advanced that the lake .
near Mer Rouge may hold the bodies :
of the two men.
One report current today was that
the troops oidered to Mer Rouore
would dn<g the lake.

>efore the house judiciary cmomittee
n connection with the impeachment 'I
harges brought against Attorney t
General Daugherty by Representative P
teller (Republican) of Minnesota ap- t
reared today to be nearing an end. L
[n fact it was indicated that the scope t'
>f future hearings would depend to a d
arge measure upon the nature of in- P
'ormation to be laid before the coinnittee
by Representative Woodruff I[Republican)
of Michigan, after hU
examination of documents at the de- -s

After a brief public session today, b

eceived, the commission decided in ^
executive meeting to hear Mr. Wood- 1
uff tomorrow. There was some dis- K
ussion as to the time of submitting 3
i report to the house, but decision on his
point went over until after re- 3
eipt of the report from Mr. Wood- 3
uff. There was a,, tacit understand- .
rig, however, that ?he report would v
>e held until after the Christmas hoi- A
days as a number of committeemen l1
vill be away from Washington durng
that period.
Mr. Keller having withdrawn from c
he prosecution of his charges, the ^
ommittee in proceeding with the
tearings on its own initiative, hau
>efore it today Mr. Woodruff and
lepresentative Johnson (Republican)
>f South Dakota. Both emphasized
hat they had no part in the drafting 1
>f the Keller charges and that they ;
vere appearing solely in response to 2
in invitation from Chairman Vol- '
itead.
Declaring that they had been '
'dragged" into the hearing, Repre- f
tentative Johnson said the charges
le had made in the house relating to '
illeged war frauds had been directed ;
lolely at the war department. If the
ommittee wanted to go into those
charges he was prepared to give the ~
tames of witnesses to support them, 1
in continued, adding that there were
ifficers in the department who v
'should be courtmartialed instead of ;

General Daeghsi'iy had pro- )
deeded with reasonable promptness 1
n bringing suits considering that he
lad had to reorganize the departnent
after he came into office and had

before any move could be
nade.
Representative woodruff also told
he committee that since he made his ,
charges in the house last April of a
Failure by Mr. Daugherty to prese:ute
the war fraud cases, suits had
seen brought in six of the eight or
nine instances he had cited and that
necessarily this had changed the sit- '
nation materially. He added that it
was not his purpose to embarrass the
attorney general in the conduct of
:ourt proceedings and that his opinion
was these cases should not be inquired
into at this time.
Asking that he and his counsel, H.
L. Scaife, a former attorney employed
by the justice department, be
permitted to examine the documents
in the "Wright-Martin case," Mr.
Woodruff said that whether he could
present charges that would form the
basis for impeachment proceedings
within the scope of the Keller specifications
would depend upon what
those documents disclosed. Assistant
Attorney General Seymour immediately
announced that the documents
would be made available to Mr.
Woodruff and his attorney at the
department at any time during the
day.

TURKEY HAS
MANY FEAR!
Lausanne, Tec. 19 (By the Associ
ateii Press).? Turkish fears of submarines,
Turkish fears of swiftly fly
ing military airplanes, laden wit)
bombs, and, generally, Turkish feari
of aggressions from without that wil
put Constantinople in danger have to
night placed the whole Lausanne conference
in jeopardy.
The United States is silent on the
situation, but the allied leaders saj
tonight that they have uttered theii
last word on the question of the liberty
of the traits. Tomorow the Turk:
must say yes or no to the allied project.
The British experts, Admiral Keyei
and General Burdett-Stuart alread)
have left for England, believing theii
work completed, and the French ex
perts are preparing to depart tomor
row night at the conclusion of th<
"last session" for discussion of th<
straits. Whether a rupture will come
on the straits problem depends chieflj
on whether the entente diplomats an<
their experts can remove the Turkisl
fears. This they are trying to do to
night.
The diplomats are endeavoring b
convince the Angora statesmen thai
the straits project is essentialh
framed to meet conditions in time;
of pease, and that the allies arc not ii
any sinister hidden manner seekinf
facilities for war, and especially
gainst Turkey. They say th-y havi
only sought the equality of all fleet
passing through the straits on peace
iui ci rands.
The allies have emphasized tha
they can not accept the Turkish re
quest for the suppression oi subma
tines and military airplanes; especi
ally they have been unable to accep
the Ottoman suggestion that com
bined foreign fleets entering th
Black sea shall not exceed in strengt
the fleet or the strongest naval powe
of the Black sea. "That would mak

1 am just so sorry that I could not
jo to Sunday school this morning. It
ias been raining several days, was
early this morning, and the roads
are bad. By one road we are, say
.wo (and a little over) miles to the
place of Sunday school, but a long,
steep, slick hill to climb?that gen- . ?

miles to the church, but it has, in
portions, been freshly worked and you
can image the condition of the mud
.here, so I was practically "in a hole."
Alight as well have been. No one can
answer for my shortcoming but myself,
but I do not try to have excuses
for not going to church on bright, or
average da>s, or plead that I cannot
get up in time, for I love to go, feel
oncsome without it. I like that assembling
together, that I get on Sunday,
for one thing, as we are not
surfeited with society out on this back
road, at best, and one might strike
jcod company at church.
It has been told around that in
parts of the county there is hog chol.
.ia again, and some is said to be
among killing hog*. I cannot say that
.he report is true. I have not heard
f any in our section. I am sure afraid
jf that disease, and if I heard of any
oar us, even if it is in the range of
Knglish sparrows, 1 would strive to
have the killing hogs inoculated if I
was going to kill within three days.
We had a oOO pound hog that we were
' ing to kill and one day before we
attended to kill it, it was found sick.
We would not kill a sick hog, and in
ess than ten days the hog was dead
and four feci under the sod. It is a
afe way to have hogs immunized. We
.'.nve some thut are.
In our section of country, and it
may be elsewhere also, there is a flat
^rowing weed that comes up in the
fall, grows all through the winter,
and in the spring grows rapidly, and
uii k?>?>u mini ii 11<i111> h nn^iii ill h
loot or more. Our everyday cornfield
:.?mc for it is simply hog-weed. It is
good green feed for hogs, in spring
an dearly summer, that are in pens
->r small range. This time of year
and all through winter if hogs can
i un on it, they put their noses to it,
rive a shove, "flirt" it out of the
ground then tea it "root and branch."
And the root is large and long for a
-mall plant. It is one of the best
and cheap pastures for hogs, I believe
it is good for the land when it
ran make seed, before being plower
. ntirely up in the spring. There is a
ine crop in sections here now, and it
\s certainly doing duty as a cover
crop. If it answers foe this, some
oed. could be easily saved for hog
nnsturex if not cover crops.
