Washington, having been stationed
there aa assistant to the quarter
master general of the army until
his retirement in IBIS.
Although in ill health when the
L'nited states entered the war he
insisted on returning to active ser

that his life waa forfeited for he

pariah tragedy—the kidnapping and
slaying of Wott Daniel and Thom
as Richard-rhad before them Fri
day the testimony of nearly two
■core witnesses dealing with dif
ferences between the peoples of the
two principal town*. Bastrop and
Mer Rouge, dating back for years
and starting, according to several,
with the drawing of a.Hne between
factions favoring and opposing the
Ku Klux Klan.
Robert L. Dade, mayor of Mer
Rouge, told the Investigators at
Thursday’s session of the open
hearing, now In progress before
Judge Fred L. Odom, that ''before
the Klan came everybody In Mer
Rouge were like brothers but now
there' Is a strained feeling. Under
the regalia of the Klan there has
arisen a condition in this parish
that is' Intolerable."
Dade and Hugh Clarke were the
principal witnesses at Thursday’s
sessions of the court hearings.
Clarke, (till a klanamsn, testified
that the Klan Is four hundred per
cent strong. J
Thus far the story of the differ
ences as placed In the record goes
K ck only a few year* and revolves
rgely around the. administration
of Dr.-B. IM. McKoin as mayor of
Mer Rouge.

PARIS — (By the Associated

governments are preparing to
send warships to Memel. the for
mer East Prussian territory on
the Baltic Internationalized by
the Treaty of Versallea with the
purposo of maintaining order tn

Dispatcher received by tbe

cate that the Lithuanian Irregu

early In the week have reached
the outskirts of the town of
Memel and exchanged shot* with
tbe German guard.

which has been under authority
of a directorate composed of oer-
mans since the signing of the
treaty of Versatile* has no o(her
military protection than a couple
of hundred «f French soUders,
part of a battalion, sent- there
during the negotiations of 1911.
While, tbe Germans are dominant
in the town, tho Lithuanian! are
of far greater number In the outly

in French circles that the ’Irregu
lars may overwhelm the local
force and create a difficult situa
tion.

A PROTE8T
The French and British have
made a diplomatic protest to tbe
Lithuanian government at K«vo-

fort was made to prevent the Ir
regulars from crossing the fron
tier.

that a rather strong force ha* not
