Va., Dec. 14.?Prohibition and the Ku Klu* Klan were considered prominently at the 14th annual conference of governors at sessions today and tonight. Gov. John M. Parker of Louisiana in an address late today declared prohibition was a flat failure and denounced the Ku Klux Klan. He was joined in his attack on the secret ' organisation by Gov. Ben W. Olcott of Oregon, who referred to the klan in an address tonight as "a national menace." The Louisiana governor said hs referred to the subject of prohibition becduse of the intention of President Hard in fir to call the cnvnmnrn in con ference next month "regarding the matter of prohibition enforcement.*' Declaring that prohibition was almoat a farce, he said it was infinitely better to abolish the saloon, permit light wines and beer to be sold and have the government regulate the manufacture and dsitribution of liquor with penitentiary sentences for those who defied clear and explicit liquor laws. Both the prohibition question and the Ku Klux Elan, Mr. Parker said, were black clouds threatening law and order. The khui, he continued, was spread. ing over the United States and working under mask and cowl, was rising ,' ^ supreme to law and order. He asked that the governors put themselves oi) record at the conference as advocating that America should be ruled by her judiciary, and not by an invisible klan; that no masked men should be allowed to parade the streets, and that federal legislation be enacted to - tequire secret organisations to file semi-annually with the department of justice sworn lists of their membershin. "The boast of the K. K. K.," said !!? governor, 'Ma a boast of 100 per cent Americanism, but not once has the klan offered assistance to the department of justice or tendered information to officers enforcing- law and order." Governor Olcott . challenged the klansmen to snssdE.

This is an extract from a letter the club got this morning: "I enclose 33.00 to help relieve the tragedy of the empty stocking. We all know that business is not as good as it once was, but it is all the more reason why we should see that the little children are not disappointed and that all of them get a visit from Santa Claus.

SOUNDS PRAISE H AT FIRST MEETING Washington, Dec. 14.?Indorsement of cooperative marketing was ex- cu pressed by President Harding, Secre- co tary Wallace of he department of tie agriculture and Dr. Julius Klein, chief vii of the bureau of foreign and domestic ir< commerce of the department of com- tie merce, and by a number of represen- ad tatives of farmers' organisations at ta< the first meeting today of the national pr council of farmers' cooperative maf- do keting associations. National organ- 1 izations marketing major commodi- iss ties were represented by several hun- A4 died delegates from 36 states. re] In a message of greeting, read by tia Senator Ernst of Kentucky, the pros- th 'dent declared he knew of "no single th movement that promises more help to- *h wards the present relief and the per- th manent betterment of agricultural ch conditions than the cooperative or- Be ganization of farmers to market their tia ; nroduct" ?' F" The system, Secretary Wallace said, should act to avoid glutting markets sic wHh farm products and at the same th time to obviate periods of scarcity, so thus pi evening both ruinously low ciu j prices to producers and high costs to kr consumers. ro "If we can avoid these periods of ca feasts and famine," he added, "the th farmers will benefit more by a fairly im stable price and the consumers will be he able to buy what they need at more t{< I i ensonable prices. Hence; as I see it, st I the organization and successful conduct of fanners' cooperative associa- en tions result in a benefit both to farm- th ers and he people who consume the ne products." # pa The department of agriculture ! - fu vards marketing as essentially a pari ir.< < f production, the secretary said, "and it Beems to us just as much our ad business to help the farmer market ie hi: crops intelligently and get fair ? prices for them as it is to help him produce them in the first place. A pi productive agriculture must be a pi prosperous agriculture." al Declaring he wanted the govern- m inent to do "everything within reason, tu anr sound procedure" for the afjd of B; the farmers, President Hardtop 'jInI# he was "still more anxious that tiie el farmers shall themselves cooperate to m Death' of Joe Fant tt p< Joe M.

' < , [OPE HELD OUT F AT CONFERENCE Lausanne, Dec. 14 (By the Assorted Press).?Although Turkey was ^ nciliatory today on the great que*- iri >n of accepting some form of super. tl sion from without on the general lf satment of the Christian popula- N ?ns inhabiting Turkey, she proved amant in insisting upon the depor- <-< Lion from Constantinople of the suerne patriarch of the Greek Ortho- {c t. U b< a vnuivu. This is one of the most important c ues of the Lausanne conference. c kMMid it surge all the historical and ^ ligious differences between Chrtsinity and Mohammedanism. Since (* e Turks consider Constantinople ^ eir city they resent that its soils P1 ould serve as the permanent seat of ?* e pontiff of the Greek Christian ul urch, they maintain that Athens o> '} >me or some other avowedly Chris- l:< m center should be chosen as his w ace of residence. At the meeting of the subcommis- in >n on the exchange of populations o1 is afternoon the allied delegates mewhat diffidently brought up the UI estion of the Greek patriarch, towing full well the dangers sur- ai unding any discussion of this deli- ai te religious problem. Immediately e Ottoman representative arose and al slated that the petriarch must go, cause he had been mixing in pollas, to the detriment of the Ottoman G ate. A debate of considerable asperity '8 sued. The Greek delegate warned w e subcommission that Greece would iver agree to the deportation of the n itrioarch and would probably re- p) se to sign any treaty which author- ll ed such a step. 11 The meeting was somewhat hastily a Ijourned, but another attempt to P ach an agreement will be made in tday or two. F Although there are five orthodox <? itrioarchs in the Orient, it is the itriarch in Constantinople who has ways been given the rank of prists, because he has resided for cenirAes in the ancient capital of the ysantine ftmpire. [ Wben llte probable return of Con- r antine^le to the Turks was an- a mpng the Athenians, who foresaw ^ ie possibility of the patrioarch's de- t jrtation. Former Premier Venixelos t u received countless messages from svout Greeks, imploring him to make > surrender of the issue of the pais rch. i By announcing today her intention ? F joining the league of nations as on as peace is signed at Lausanne, r urkey virtually admitted she would v ?cept the league of na$ons' supersion over the Christian populations Q i Turkey. The subcommittee for the study of t te future administration of the j traits of the Dardanelles and the t osphorus is steadily making prog>ss and today's developments, de- ] lite the Turks' implacability on the t lestion of the patrioarch asnd the cchange of populations, have created t ie impression that peace really will f i signed at Lausanne. lias Eunice Thomson to Spook The special meeting that is being ild each Sunday afternoon at the slvation Army hall will be changed 8 om 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock, this sug- 1 9stion being made in the last Sun- a ?y's meeting, which was so largely ttended.

Jeffords, according to his reply to a personal letter from Jeffords, made public at the executive ?dices yesterday. "Interference by me solely on the grounds of kindness, sympathy and good will, would be to flaunt the duly provided sysiem of trial provided by law," the governor says in his letter to Jeffords. The letter was written in response to a personal plea from Jeffords in the form of a letter and a petition for clemency. "My heart goes out to those who love you, and I only wish some real justification warranted me in being of help to you," the governor says. His full letter to Jeffords is as follows: "Dear Mr. Jeffords: Your letter received. You will never know just how sorry I am for you?how I feel for you and your dear ones, and how I would like to give you some hope in your trouble. My heart goes out to those who love you, and I only wish some real justification warranted me in being of help to you. The governor is not given the power of clomncy, based on sympathetic grounds. There must be some reason, not known to the court. You were duly tried, according to the law?the hlgh<r courts have passed on the legality of the acts of the lower courts?appeals through the regular channels hove all been exhausted, and interference by me solely on grounds of kindness, sympathy and good will would be to flaunt the duly provided system of trial provided by law.

HOUSE TAKES UP ARMS QUESTION Washington, Dec. 14. ? President Harding, according to a statement made in the house today, "has been * engaged for several months" with the f ' uestion of negotiating with the big I powers abroad relative to limiting the ? construction of warships under 10,000 tons, which he is requested to do r under a provision of the naval supply i oill. 1 This information as to the reported attitude of the president waa given t by Representative Lineberger (Re- a publican) of California, during a ii brief flurry of debate, while Chairman r Kelly of the subcommittee, in charge o of the measure, was seeking to ex- ? plain the reasons for the request. It i was admittedly a surprise to the com- b mittee, which had not consulted the ? president prior to presentation of the t. bill. b Mr. Kelly had just declared that n vhile the arms conference had af- o forded a net saving of $128,000,000 u the general staff of the navy had recommended a projected program, un- f der the 10,000 ton limitation entailing c the expenditure of $331,000,000 when t Mr. Lineberger interrupted. "The gentleman is requesting the ' president of the United States to do a something which we and every one i knows he has been engaged in doing i for several months past," said Mr. t Lineberger. "Would it not be much s better verbiage to approve that which a the president is now doing rather ^ than to request him to do something ' that he has been doing for months?' The only other reference to the 1 president was made by Representative ? Byrnes of South Carolina, ranking Democrat of the subcommittee, who 1 said he had not known what Mr. Line border told the house, that "the pres. 1 ident is now at work upon some plan < for the calling of another conference < for the limitation of armament." "I assume the gentleman has the information from the president," Mr. ' Byrnes added, "and I am delighted to i know this is true." , Many questions were directed at t Mr. Kelly as to what the other na1 t'ons had done in the matter of naval i. had already begun to scrap before the conference,'* he raid. "In other words there have been no results thus far?" asked Representative London (Socialist) of New York and Kely answered, "No." Chairman llutler of the naval committee broke into the discussion. "We have accomplished just this," he said. "We have traded the lfi-inch fcun for two eight inch guns," and Representative Britten of Illinois, . ranking Republican of the naval com' mittee declared, "We have lost the opportunity to become the first naval power and ?vo shall probably be the * second or third." 1 Generally, the bill had easy sailing. 1 Yr. Byrnes and Representative Oliver - > Democrat) of Alabama, another t member of the subcommittee, discuss od tlie measure in detail and explained now the arms conference had affected building progrems. i Taking up the bill item by item, the i house had covered one-fourth of the f distance when it quit tonight, and it t will be held in port tomorrow while f an election contest is given right of ' v ay.

"Did you see anything else of wounded .or dead men?" o* those he had seen with gunr ex- eept Herbert Walker, who is not one of the defendants in the present case, sn indictment against him having been set aside at the request of the prosecution. I. N. Lentz corroborated his brothels' testimony regarding the finding of the bodies. Georges Harrison, who has a farm at Herrin, near the scene of the slayings, told of seeing a group of about 25 men with a single prisoner near his farm.

Keller is to be put under oath and asked for the information he claims to have. The committee adjourned shortly after the session opened when Keller failed to appear in answer to the summons served on him by Attorney John H. Ralston, representing Keller, but sent a letter to the committee by John A, Vasey, a Boston lawyer, asking the postponement until tomorrow. Chairman Volstead said the letter failed to give an excuse for his non appearance. Representative Graham, a Republican of Pennsylvania, suggested that the committee report to the house recommendation for contempt of action against Keller. Other members suggested that a postponement be granted. Vasey told the committee that Keller's appearance to- ? morrow would depend upon advice given by his counsel. i i r.? ? *"?
