Washington, Dec. 19. Responding to a House i-esolution, Secretary Denby transmitted to Congress today the information in the hands of the Navy Department on the status of warships scrapped under the terms of the Washington Arms Conference naval treaty or otherwise disposed of by the signatories since the adjournment of tao Conference.

The report showed that neither the United States nor Japan plans to complete the scrapping of any existing capital ships, at least pending promulgation of the treaty, although both nations have stopped work on large building programs of capital ships. Great Britain, on the other hand, was shown to have disposed of or to be disposing of a very considerable number of older capital ships. S. Has Sold Two Ships. The United States, according to the report, in addition to suspending work on vessels under construction under the treaty, has decommissioned all completed ships affected except the battleship Connecticut, which soon will be placed out of commission, and has sold the Maine and the Missouri, which actually are being broken up.

Great Britain, Mr. Denby said, had at the time his information was gathered, but which was not indicated, broken up three capital ships; sold to be broken up, seven sold but not dismantled, one completed mutilations on two and was engaged in mutilating six others. The Australian Government, he added, had decided to scrap'the battle cruiser Australia. Japan Does Preliminary Work. Through her Ministry of Marine, the Secretary continued, Japan "had stated that while work preliminary to scrapping will be done, the hulls will not be broken up or sunk until the treaty has been ratified by all the powers." Certain preliminary work involving removal of guns, turrets, armor and engines was being done, he said, on seven capital ships, three others had been placed in the fourth reserve and work had been suspended on six.

One report was that the troops had been ordered to Bastrop, Morehouse Parish seat, where they were to guard the Courthouse there for 30 days, indicating that an open hearing into the kidnappings decided on recently -at a conference between Gov. John M. Parker and Attorney-General Coco would be held immediately. Captain Cooper, who was ordered to Baton Rouge several days ago, presumably for a conference with Governor Parker and other State officials, returned at noon, but refused to discus the reason for the military order. In addition to arms and ammunition, the troops were supplied with provisions to last 20 days.

Parish Reported Quiet. Mayor Robert Dade, of Mer Rouge, in response to a message as to cocdi tions there, stated tonight that there has been no disorders of any kind ai Mer Rouge or several Morehouse Parisl- officials expressed surprise that troops should be sent into the parish, stating that normal conditions prevailed there. The five Mer Rouge citizens, including Watt Daniels and Thomas F. Richards, the two missing men, were kidnapped on the night of August 24, by 30 or 40 hooded men. They were taken into the country and a whipping administered to at least two of them.

Appeals by relatives of the two men were made to Governor Parker and parish officials, but all efforts of the 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 troop.s ordered to Mer Rouge would drag the lake.

"I came to Atlanta," said Mr. Woodruff, "to notify State officials that the law-abiding citizens of Winder county plan to ask Federal assistance unless the State quickly acts.

The breaking-point ha3 been reached. "The local authorities at Winder are either klansmen or klan sympathizer-and will do nothing. They laugh at us when we register protests.

Chicago, Dec. 19 (Special). A' selected group- of Chicago's debutantes and youtfg matrons are to be enrolled as special prohibition agents during the holidays. They will not lay aside their fans and bouquets and actually "run in" the drinkers. They will merely detect the violators and then pass a sign to the regular prohibition force lurking in the offing, who will do the arresting on a John Doe or Jane Doe warrant.

Roseoe C. Andrews, acting prohibition director for Chicago, is credited with the new strategy. It was reported that he had already sounded- out a number of social register folk and obtained promises of cooperation. "The people ought to be glad to aid the Government in enforcing the law," was his brief comment. "The prohibition law is part of the Constitution and must be upheld."

Hays, head of the motion-picture industry, late today visited Wallace Reid, film actor, at the Hollywood Sanatorium, where he is suffering a nervous breakdown and expressed the hope that Reid would soon recover from his illness. Hays met Mrs.

He shook hands with Reid, said he hoped he was getting along well and would soon be himself again and added that he had come to wish him a merry Christmas before returning East. Reid Grateful. Reid thanked Mr. Hays for coming to see him and said that he appreciated very deeply the friendly spirit back of the visit.

After the interview, which lasted but a minute or two, Mr. Hays remarked that the patient looked much better than reports had led him to expect. Reid spoke clearly, he said, his eyes appeared normal and in every way he seemed to be in an encouraging mental and physical condition.

Wallace Reid may savev hundreds of his fellow "dopes" in Los Angeles. Because of the publicity given the movie idol's case, the City Council, the chief of police, and groups of ministers are preparing to wage war on the traffickers in drugs, not only in Hollywood but throughout the city.

US TO STRAITS Informs Them Yes Or No Reply Must Be Given Today To Allied Proposal. DENIES EXTRA TIME FOR CONSIDERATION In Case Of Refusal, Demand Will Be Repeated After Other Issues Are Settled.

British Foreign Secretary Curzon, peaking for the Allies, told the Turks today they would get no more and could accept the Allied plan for control of the Straits or let the whole question (frop. This was the reply to the Turkish counter-proposals for Strait? regulation. The Turks must decide tomorrow.

Negotiations on the issues will continue and when these are settled, the Allies will say: "You km, our proposals for a Straits settlemCiX Unless you accept, you must return to Angora without signing a peace." llt'Kink Jjxperts Go Home. Turkish resistance to the Allied plans dates from Saturday. On that day Lord Curzon told Isinet Pasha, chief Turkish delegate, there would be no bargaining ever the Mosul oil region. Turkey was prepared to yield somewhat in the Straits if they got concessions on the Mcsopotamian frontier. When they failed in this, they resumed the attitude of opposition.

Now their Strain stand approaches the Russian nearer than the Allied. An indication that the Allie3 have given their last word, however, is seen in the fact that Admiral Keyes and Gen. Burdett-Stuart, the British left today for AsU Guarantees. The latest Turkish demand is tor the-Allies to guarantee them against all aggression. They are afraid some European power might make war upon hem, and they are still more afraid of llussia, for they realize the Soviet Government is a very uncertain quan-uty.

The Allies are trying to dissipate fears. Unless this is done by to-luorrow, a deadlock will result and the -ntire work of the conference on this noint go for nothing. "What the Turks will do tomorrow is uncertain. They have changed" their minds before, and may do so again. Ueay Having? Accepted.

The Allies complain the Turks already had agreed to the Entente plan. The Turks contend they never accepted anj thing, and indeed, Ismefc Pasha, ihcir chief delegate, always accepted proposals with the understanding that he reserved final decision. One of the hief Angora delegates said today: "Our experts are considering the situation, but there are several points covered by Ismet today on which we ximply cannot give in. Turkey must have sufficient guarantees that she will be protected from attack. Calls Appeal Method Alsmrd.

"The machinery for appealing to the League of Nations is absurd. It would mean a delay while, perhaps, Constantinople is being attacked and captured. We must have the individual and collective guarantees of the powers signing the treaty that any violation of the demilitarized zones will bring them to our assistance." The Turks insist on the right to de-tend the European shores of the Sea Marmora. Lord Curzon flatly refused, who declared no nation "is so wrapped up in protective guarantees and means of defense as Turkey." Radian Proposal Rejected. Then Ismet asked for time to consider the Allied plan.

Again Lord Curzon said no, and would not even allow the two days which Ismet asked. Finally the Turkish delegates consented to meet the Allies tomorrow. The Russian demand for consideration of their Straits plan was curtly rejected. Lord Curzon saying only that Foreign Minister Tchitcherin wanted to make the Black Sea a closed Bea and the Allies would never consent. M.

Tchitcherin pointed out that he had modified his proposals "to meet the United States idea of beneficent warships" and "permit light warships to pass on pacific missions." Copyright, 1922, by N. T. World. Plan To Close Baltic. London, Dec.

W. H. Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, in a statement tonight virtually confirmed reports which startled Washington early in the day that his real mission in visiting the capital is to lay foundation for an ambitious scheme seeking ultimate control of national legislation. Evans sets forth in his statement that the klan aims so to saturate the country with its spirit that "we can expect intelligent legislation from the Congress of the United States which will drag Uiown the white flag of supine inertia from our legislative halls and raise in its place the militant flag of red, white and blue." Accepted As Challenge. This declaration of purpose produced amazement among officials to whom it was referred and was accepted as meaning that the klan openly confesses its intention of thrusting its influence into Congress.

The Evans statement was designed primarily as an answer to Governor Allen, of Kansas, following his debate yesterday in a hotel with the klan leader. 'The Evans statement follows: "It is indeed, a matter to be regretted that Mr. Allen, of Kansas, is not blessed with that keen sense of proportion which tells a man when he has been thoroughly defeated and repudiated. The recent election in Kansas wns an eloquent answer to the erratic appeal of the jayhawker Governor. Not onlv was Mr.

IB the Associated Press. Brussels, Dec. 19. Minister of the Colonies Franck has challenged former Premier Paul Hymans to a duel.

M. Franck sent his seconds to M. Hymans today after sharp words hatl passed between them in the Chamber of Deputies. The altercation came during a stormy period of the session which followed passage of a measure making Ghent University a Flemish institution. The vote is expected to bring a Cabinet crisis as the Liberal Ministers recently announced they had resolved to quit the Government if the bill was adopted.

Close voting marked the end of the debate en the question, the bill being adopted by 85 votes to 83. After the Chamber voted to make the university Flemish, it voted on a proposal that the institution should be bi-lingual, using the French and Flemish languages, but this was rejected.

Now, if you were a little girl or boy and were just about to speak to Santa Claus when a policeman took him away, what would you do? That was the predicament in which. 400 or 500 Staten Island young sters found themselves- this afternoon when Patrolman William Martin, of Tomkinsville, arrested a Santa Claus on a charge of blocking traffic Well, they acted, quickly and united ly. There were no leaders except the policeman and Santa Claus, but the children followed as though led by a pied piper. Only they weren't quiet; some cried, some cheered and some just yelled. But they all stuck to their guns and followed right to the police station, where Magistrate William Featherston was almost swept from his seat by the invasion.

He dismissed the complaint against Santa, but warned him to get a permit for his work. $5 To Each Baby Born To Employe During Year Blonongahela Power And Railway Company- Announces Christmas Gift Program. Parkersburg, W. Va Dec. 19.

RAN GANTLET OF LEAD IN ESCAPING Witness Admits Military Preparations By Strip Mine Operator.

From a Staff Correspondent. Marion, 111., Dec. 19. Robert Officer, who was timekeeper at the Lester mine when the attack by the union miners occurred last June, and who survived the slaughter that followed, was called to the stand today by the State in the first of the Herrin massacre trials here today. Officer was the only witness examined, and will be recalled tomorow.

The State questioned him about the attack and about the massacre. He told particularly of how the miners stood 48 victims up in front of a barbed-wire fence in the woods back of the power house near here, told them to run, and then poured a fusillade into them as they were struggling through the fence. Escaped And Hid In Brush. Officer told how he escaped and how he and two companions lay hidden in the underbrush all that day while parties of miners were scouring the woods for the survivors. One of the searchers stepped within a foot and a half of his head, Officer On cross-examination the witness said he, was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, taking a bachelor of science degree in 1920.

He is now working in a mine at Greenville. in which Lester, who formerly a operated the Herrin mine, is interested. At least one other survivor of the massacre will be called by the State, it is expected. He is Dan O'Rourke, one of the six men who were roped together in the Herrin cemetery and shot down. O'Rourke was left for dead.

He arrived in Marion late yesterday. Cannot 'Identify A striking feature of Officer's testimony was his failure to identify Otis Clark, one of the five defendants, as leader of the mob and as the man who harangued them while they were marching their prisoners away from the mine, urging that they all be killed. Officer said he saw this man plainly. He could not recognize the man in the courtroom, he said. The State finished its examination of Officer after the noon recess.

On cross-examination by George Stone, of counsel for the defense, many points of the defense case were more clearly indicated than they have been hitherto. Mr. Stone sought to bring out evidence showing that William J. Lester, owner of the mine, and his superintendent, McDowell, had made their preparations for operating the mine as if for a military expedition. "This was a peaceable community before June 15 (the date the mine started to load coal in defiance of the union), and there was no disturbance that I heard of before the strike breakers and mine guards arrived," Officer said, under questioning by Mr.

Stone. "The union men who had been working at the mine were fired on June 13. June 15 and 16 the non-union workers and armed guards began to arrive from Chicago." "Isn't it true that as early as February McDowell, the superintendent, went (Continued on Page 7, Column 2.) a color with his blue uniform from the cold. "Here," said Van Der Weyde, "Merry Christmas from O. Henry." "Thanks," said the messenger, grabbing the dollar bill and hurrying along.

Policeman Gets Two. O. Henry's friends saw there was no use hanging around there, so they went to Bryant Park. There was none there but an enormous policeman. "I'm not crazy," said Van Der Weyde, "but do you know anybody we can give $49 to?" "Sure," said the policeman with a grin.

He got one of the bills and an extra one on account of the grin. O. Henry wrote much about New York policemen and liked them. "Merry Christmas from O. Henry," said Mr.

Van Der. Weyde. "Merry Christmas to him and minny of them," said the policeman. There was nothing to do then but resort to the lodging" houses. It was too cold outside.

At the Olive Tree Inn Van Der Weyde gave away 25 of O. Henry's dollars, and at Washington House; the rest of the 50 vanished, Says Action Against Him Was Delayed Until After Endowment Campaign. Latest of Hie victims in the great controversy going on within the Protestant churches of America be-ticeen the liberal modernists and the orthodox fundamentalists is Dr. A. Wakefield Slat en, who teas dismissed December 14 from the faculty of William Jewell College, at, Liberty, because of the views set forth in his book "What Jesus Taught." Mr.

Slaten beloio gives an authoritative view of the reasons for his dismissal. By A. Wakefield Slatex, Ph. D. In May my book, "What Jesus Taught," appeared.

It was published by the University of Chicago Press. The book undertakes to discover the teachings of Jesus regarding civilization, democracy, hate, war and non-resistance, religion and Himself as this teaching is presented in the synoptic gospels, Mark, Matthew and Luke. The book views the Bible as the world's supreme literature, yet not immune to investigation. The Bible is to be studied as any other ancient literature is studied. Its sources are to be sought, its parallels in other literatures examined.

Its statements are to commend themselves to the reader's reason and conscience before they can rightly become a form of thought or conduct. For a time all went very happily, but toward the end of the first quarter a cloud arose. An article was presented to the State Baptist paper for publication. It was a hostile review of my book. It found the book "full of infidelity" it opined that "nothing worse, perhaps, is taught in the Univer sity of Chicago." It.

urged the trus tees themselves and the Baptists of Missouri to action. It would not be enough even for the Baptists of the; State to withhold their money from the college, it suggested. 1 Time Given Trustees To Act. As a book review the article was negligible, but as a polemic document it was well timed and well aimed. The editors were led to cqnsent to withhold publication and allow the trustees to handle the matter quietly.

A campaign for a $600,000 increase in the endowment was on, and it was highly desirable no controversy should arise that might injure it. The executive committee of the board of trustees met December 7 in Kansas City to consider the situation. I was asked to appear and reply to the criticisms of the book, stating my theological view3. The unanimous decision of the committee after the examination was that I should resign, as my views were out of harmony with those of the rank and file of the Baptists of Missouri. Xot Personal Issue.

What does an incident like this mean to the college teachers of America? The I issue is no mere personal one. It con-: cerns us all. It is an episode -in the desperate assault of what is known- as fundamentalism, or militant and reac tionary orthodoxy, entrenched in tradi tion and backed by abundant wealth, on the teachers in denominational colleges who have allowed their scientific train ing to temper their religious views. It is part of an organized effort to intimidate through the threat of the withdrawal of financial support, influ ence by the promise of large gifts, frightened by hurtful criticism and embarrassed by the presentation of preposterous creeds for college faculties to subscribe to, until every teacher of enlightenment and modern culture has been banished from the denominational schools at home and on the foreign field and in our classrooms medieval darkness settles down. Still Legal To College.

Were the trustees of William Jewell College influenced by the fear of the loss of financial support? I do not admit it. I believe they acted largely from religious conviction, sincere and worthy of respect, and only partly from considerations of expediency. My liberal views, however, would not have precluded me from any other chair nor have removed me from the chair of religion if criticism had not arisen because of the book. My loyalty to my college remains unabated. I want to see the endowment secured.

I feel the same catch in the throat I have always felt as I see men tally the majestic hill-top crowned by the white, Colonial columns of Jewell Hall, a building that looked down on the quiet Tillage when negro slaves were tending tobacco In the fields about, and when volleys echoed from the hills and men. in gray and blue contended, and which will yetjook down when minds are free from the ghostly shadows of the past and the question on that old hill and In every college in the land, even the denominational colleges, will be, not "is it orthodox?" but "is it country which designing politicians cannot break. In a few years the in-! flaence of the klan will have so en-i gulfed the thought of the country that we can expect intelligent legislation from the Congress of the United States, which will drag down the white flag of supine inertia from our legislative halls and raise in its place the militant flag of red, white and blue, which, means the thing nearest the heart of every real American. "Proves Justice Of Klan Kraft." "Petty and insignificant dissension widely scattered over the country only serves to illustrate the vast concert of approval. It takes a few men like Mr.

Allen to prove the justice of klan-kraft." We are profoundly grateful to Mr. Allen for the sacrifice he has made in relegating himself to political oblivion in the stand he has taken to oppose those men of America who have pledged their votes, their money, their sacred honor and their lives if necessary to maintain our national honor un-impeached, unstained and unsullied by the foul breath of alien influences. "God give us men." Governor Allen left Washington last night. Mr. "Evans substantially confirmed that he told Governor Allen the klan would come out into the open, although he named no definite time, for the dropping of the masks.

He said the mask is a part of the klan ritual which the organization will retain for the present, but which probably will be discarded as the time goe3 on and the order grows.

Irene McAuliffe Inks, former post-mistress of Franklin Park, a year in the Federal prison. Miss McAuliffe and Merle Inks were arrested at Cleveland in January, 1920, after they had disappeared simultaneously with the discovery of a shortage of $20,000 in Miss McAuliffe's post-office accounts.

Doris Brunen and her brother, Harry (J. Mohr, charged with the slaying of "Honest" John T. Brunen, carnival owner, is expected to be in the hands of the jury tomorrow. The defense has five more witnesses to testify and the prosecution will then proceed with the rebuttal. Many witnesses were called' for the defense today.

Five convicts from the State penitentiary at Trenton, one from the State Reformatory at Rahway and! several prisoners in the local jail werei on the witness stand in an attempt to prove that Powell was insane when he made his confession. Two policemen and a physician offered testimony corroborating the story of ilohr as to his movements on the day Brunen was shot. Harry Bentum, who was advance agent for the Brunen show, declared it was he who said "The man who bumped off John Brunen ought to get a gold medal." Hazel Brunen, daughter of the showman, had previously testified that Mohr had said this. Retrieving Lost Golf Balls Proves Paying Business $SSO Offered For Year's Concession.

Henry Money Derived By Daughter From Story About Father Distributed Among Waifs And Strays Of City.

New York, Dec. 10 (Special). O. Henry wished 50 derelicts a merry Christmas tonight. Forty-eight, to be more exact, because there was a policeman, who got a double greeting and he was scarcely a derelict.

Many a night, and pesliaps on a Christmas Eve, too, O. Henry spent on a bench in Madison Square. He wrote a volume called "Waifs, and Strays." He had a tender feeling for the down-and-outer. So when his daughter, Mrs. Margaret Cesare, lately got a check for writing a magazine article about her father, 6he sent it to his old friend, William Van Der Weyde, and asked him to go up to Madison Square some night and give it to the waifs and strays up there.
