ACTUAL OPERATION
OF DAWES PLAN
BEGINS IN EUROPE
(Continued From Page 1.)
the German cabinet, the Journal Des
Debats predicts, means “the ulti
mate sabotage” of the Dawes plan,
and the Temps regards their pres
ence in the government as likely to

dence by the bankers who are ex
pected to float a German loan.”

tofore have been taken calmly, but
the fact that they made the Marx
government compromise with them
has created a good deal of alarm,
as indicating that the reactionaries
have greater power than they have
been credited with.

SIX SHOT TO. DEATH
AS KLAN WARFARE
FLARES UP AGAIN
I (Continued From Page 1.)
I of Constable Caesar Cagle, a klans
| man, in rioting last February 8.
Forty of fifty shots are said to
have been fired. The shooting start
ed when Sheriff George Galagan
I went to the J. H. Smith garage with
two deputies on instructions from
State’s Attorney Duty to seize the
car alleged to have been used by
the assailants of S. Glenn Young,
klan liquor raider, and his wife, near
Okawville, 111., last May 23.
The cnly coherent account of the
affair available early tonight was
from Sheriff Galligan, a bitter op
p nent of the Ku Klux Kian. The
sheriff said that as he and Deputies
Allison and entered the
garage he noticed Dewey Newbolt,
an alleged klansman, sitting in a
chair with four guns strapped to
his waist.
Galligan said Newbolt fired upon
them and they returned the fire.
The dead are all of Herrin and four
of them —Newbolt, Dunning, Reid
and Willard —are klansmen, accord
ing to the sheriff. Roland was a by
stander and was hit by a stray bul
let. He died in the Herrin city hos
pital, the same building riddled by
I bullets in the February riot.
Seventh Man Dying
Phemister was reported dying
early tonight. A previous erroneous
report said that Phemister had died.
Carl Shelton was shot through
the hand. Sheriff Galligan declared
he believed Newbolt fired the shot
which wounded Shelton but said
the latter’s presence in the neigh
borhood seemed coincidental. The
Shslton boys, he said, were just pre
paring to drive to East St. Louis
following dismissal of the indict
ments against them.
The dismissal came in the Herrin
city court after a jury had been
selected but not sworn in. The
state’s attorney said he had insuffi
cient evidence for prosecution.
Tim Cagle, father of the slain
constable, made a dramatic state
ment to the court in which he said
he did not believe the Shelton broth
ers were guilty.
Bitter factional feelings, resulting
from continued law violations, the
activities of S. Glenn Young and his
adherents and strong klan and anti
klan sentiment, have kept this com
munity in a state of more or less
turmoil for several months.
Today’s trouble, it is conceded, is
trtceable to last February 8 when
Constable Cagle was killed and
Deputy Sheriff John Layman wound
ed. Fpr several weeks prior to this,
the klan faction and the Knights of
the Flaming Circle, an organization
opposed to the klan, had been on
the verge of open warfare.
Trouble in February
According to accounts of the Feb
ruary outbreaks Sheriff Galligan an I
Deputy Layman went to a hall-*in
Herrin in an effort, they declared,
tp prevent trouble at a meeting of
the Flaming Circle. Reports thai
klansmen were attempting to break
up the meeting caused a riot during
which Deputy Layman was shot.
Charges were made by the faction
opposing the klan that Chief of Po
lice John Ford and two Herrin po
licemen had fired at Layman and in
th j ensuing excitement is was re
ported that the klan had assassi
nated Layman. The killing of Ca
gle, an alleged klan sympathizer, fol
lowed. Young, who was a dominant
figure m Williamson coun.ty at the
time, immediately proclaimed tne
klan would take control of Herri l '
and ordered the arrest of Chief Ford
and his assistants. Militiamen ere
lushed to the town and quiet re
stored.
Later it was reported that Cail
and Earl Shelton had fired the
shots, which resulted in the death
of Cagle. Subsequently both were
indicted by a special grand jury of
the Herrin city court. That was
I followed by a aeries of charges and
counter charges and finally the in
dictment of Young and fifty-five as
sociates by the same grand jury.
Young’s Shooting Next
Young later left the county and
with his departure matters quieted,
but soon flared up again when news
was received that Young and his
wife were fired upon bv assailants
in another automobile near Oak
ville, Ills., as they were driving to
wards East St. Louis. Both re
ceived dangerous wounds. Mrs.
Young suffering the loss of one eye,
while Young’s right leg was smashed
just below the knee by a bullet.
Special deputy constables at Her
rin, acting on advices that the car
containing Young’s assailants was
en route to Herrin, blocked all roads
leading into the city. Later an a.i
tomobile approaching Herrin was
' raked by bullets. Jack Skelcher, a
coal miner of Williamson county,
was slain and his companion, a man
named “Brown,” was captured.
This act immediately caused a
flood of charges and counter charges
against members of the klan ami
others. The two Sheltons and
Brown, however, —ere indicted by a
grand jury and bound over to the
November term of court.
The automobile in which Skelcher
was killed was taken to the J. N.
Smith garage where it has reposed
since. It was this machine, accord
ing to Sheriff Galligan, that State's
i Attorney Duty ordered him to ob
, tain todav.

CIRCUMNAVIGATION
OF GLOBE AS GOOD
AS ACCOMPLISHED
From Page One)
that must necessarily accompany an
undertaking of such magnitude,
compelling as it did flights in all
kinds of climate ranging from the
frigid Arctic weather pf the north
Pacific late in March to the near
tropical conditions encountered in
the Fat Eastlin June.
All manner of weather had to be
contended with, the elements appar
ently having’-no sympathy with the
laudable ambition of these men to
be the first to fly around the world.
Treacherous gales, violent rains and
blinding blizzards were encountered
in the Alaskan regions before the
flyers hopped off the North Ameri
can conitinept for the first attempt
of airplanes to wing their way across
the Pacific. Fog was a dangerous
factor and when the aviators reach
ed down into the Torrid Zone in the
Far East they encountered tropical
winds and rains and in India ran
into a sand storm.
What misfortune or ill luck there
was in the adventure seemed to at
tach itself to the commander and the
flag plane of the squadron. Major
Fred L. Martin, who was flight com
mander at the start, had a series of
mishaps along the North Pacific
coast of the North American conti
nent culminating in his flag plane,
the Seattle, crashing into a mountain
on the Alaska peninsula. Major
Martin and his mechanician, Ser
geant Alva Harvey, escaped un
hurt, but their plane was destroyed.
Nothing was heard from the two
men for ten days, despite a thor
ough search of the regions, and
hopes for them were about to be
given up when a rodiogram from
Major Martin to the chief of the
army air service announced their
safe tv. This accident eliminated
Major Martin and his mechanician
from further participation in the
flight.
When the accident Occurred
Major Martin was piloting his plane
in a fog toward Dqtch Harbor on
Uqalaska Island to join his com
panionns. The commander, due to
a crack in the crank shaft which
caused a leakage of fqel, was forced
down on the flight froin, Seward to
Chignik, April 15, and he and Har
vey were forced to spend the night
in their' plane- They were found
the next day by the destroyer Hull,
both men were suffering somewhat
from exposure. Two weeks were
required to obtain a new engine for
the Seattle from Kanatak, 120 miles
distant, and in the meantime the
other fliers rested at Dutch Harbor
waiting for the commander to join
them.
Major Martin left Chignik on April
30, and shortly after noon bumped
into the mountain. When no word
had been received, from him the
next day all the fishing boats in
the regions were urged to aid in
the search for the two men in the
waters south of the Alaska peninsu-'
la, while dog teams took up the
search on land. Later an army air
plane scouted over the territory.
