Bodies Mutilated, Torn Now Orleans, I,a., Jan. fi.—Close ob servers see in the Mate's Investiga tions in the Morehouse kidnaptngs and murders not only an effort to punish the slayers of Watt Daniel, world war veteran, and Thomas F. Rich ards, Mer Rouge citizens, but also a. step in the direction of “tearing the mask off the Ku Klux Klan," to which Governor Darker has stated he lias dedicated hitnself. Bastrop, Ba., Jan. 6.—Dr. Charles W. Duval and Dr. John A. Lan ford, pathologists, in a report submit ted at today's session of the open hearing of masked band depredations in Morehouse parish, expressed tlie opinion that the bodies of Watt Dan iel and Thomas F. Richards were sub jected to some “specially construct ed device lesigned for Inflicting pun ishment.” Dr. Duval called to the witness "land, at the opening session of the hearing, first presented the findings of the pathologists. “How would you account for the ab sence of the arms and legs?" Dr. Du val was asked during his description of the body of Daniel. “They evidently had cither been < hopped or mashed or crushed off.” Dr. Duval said. I.egs and Arms Broken. "The hones of the arms and legs were broken in three places," Dr. Du val suid, "tho striking features of tho fractures or breaks |n the bones, al ways three in number in tho arms and legs, were that they were about equi distant. Indications were breaks pro duced by some force or forces that came from different directions.” "When would you say the cutting operation performed on Daniel's body took place?” Dr. Duval was asked. “During life," the physician re plied. lie testified that the head was crushed, "hy forces coming in dif ferent directions as though from sorte Instrument, such ns a vise." “Could the injuries have been pro- j duced by beating?" "I don't think so,” i)r. Duval said. Before Death. "Were (lie injuries inflicted before j death?'* Attorney General Coco, who 1 conducted the 'questioning, asked. I "Yes,” Dr. Duwil replied. lie explained that any one of sev eral injuries noied could have caused I death. "My idea Is that the body was most j inhumanely tortured.” Dr. Duval said ! in answer to another question. The report as to the body of Rich aids—of broken bones mid lacera tions—were similar to those noted in tile case of Daniel with the exception of the cutting described In the re port "Tho bone breaks were ante-mor tem," Dr. Duval testified. "The Injuries came from more than one direction. Force apparently had been applied to the breast plate and to the spinal column and both carried on nntil the front of the chest crushed to the back.” By Sharp Instrument. \ppearance of (lie wound showed I ilial tlic cutting of the body of Daniel ! was done by such a sharp instrument • as a pen knife or razor.

Plans Trade Air Routes New York, Jan. (i.—(By A. P.)—Vil hjalmar Stefansson. Arctic explorer, announced abandonment of his car eer ns an explorer, to devote his ef forts to proving to a skeptical world that within a decade or two the north polar ocean will be crossed by a net work of commercial aviation routes and that the Arctic regions, hitherto known ns mysterious, uninhabitable •ends, will l»e the source of developed iesourceo unlimited in magnitude. "I am through with exploring," he declared to The Associated Press. "1 will devote myself seriously to the abolition of the polar regions. The aura of mystery surrounding the north is a pall of ignorance. The polar re gions are a state of mind.” Mr. Stefansson s i^l his decision to give up the polar expeditions which have made him internationally famous was prompted by his conviction that tlio age of exploration of the north now was to yield to the age of com mercial development, lie felt, he said, that he should give up exploring while he was still young enough to develop his career as a “propagan dist” or enlightener of the north. Ex ploring was a young man’s game, he added. Saw Unlimited Resources. "My expeditions to the Arctic,” he declared, "were like those of Lewis and Clarke in the early days of the United States* history. I saw as they did that 1 was crossing country with unlimited resources, country wlneh could easily ho exploited and country where men and women could live ns comfortably and as energetically as they live in many ports of the north temperate regions of tlie world.” Development of the Arctic country as a path of commercial air routes certainly would he made within the next generation, Mr. Slefansson as serted. The temperature 1,000 feet above the north pole in July, tie said, was about the same as that 1,000 feet above France in April. Tho light conditions were Ideal. An Arctic route from London to Tokio, he pointed out, would lie only two-thirds tlie length, of one charted from west to east. Terrors Imaginal ive. The popular attitude toward the Arctic regions, Mr. Ktefansson said, was mut li like th ■ medieval attitude towards the unexplored regions be yond the horizon—the terrors in both eases might be largely imaginative. Fire alone stands in the way of the developing of a land area twice the size of the United States,” lie de clared. ”lf you want the truth, as sume the opposite of a dozen or so things you have heard about* the north. ‘‘Oil, coal and other resources there. Climatic conditions are cotr guerable. People are living and flour ishing In places where there are colder winters than those at the north J pole. For example, the lowest tem perature at the pole is about 60 de- j grees below zero, while 70 below has j been registered in North Dakota, | where the winters are just as severe j as in tlie Arctic. At Verkhoyansk, in Siberia, tlie mercury has dropped to j 93 degrees below zero. "The course of empire, of civiliza tion, must inevitably give a move toward tho north, and Americans, citizens of the nation of progress, must realize this fact.” Bryan Mourns Radio Failure Heartbroken When Told Mc Kelvie's Message was Broad cast and His Lost.

Curzon Answers Attack Tiausanne, Jan. 6—(By; A. J».)—. Peace or war was the grave issue placed squarely before the near east ern conference today. Ismet Pasha for Turkey brought this Issue oon clsely before the delegates, when, after refusing all allied suggestion# concerning special courts for foreign ers in Turkey he declared solemnly: ‘'Oentlemen, the key to peace lies In your hands.” Lord Curzon .accepting the chal lenge, retorted' "If peace la to come to Lausanne, it Is essential that some arrangement on tho question of for eign tribunals be arrived at," and lie added significantly: "We hope that time will soften tho Turkish attitude and that Turkey will not maintain her position of today." The discussion took place before the full commission on capitulations which adjourned without reaching any ac cord on*ihe most vital question on the Lausanne agenda and without fixing a date for tho next meeting. Tho debate on capitulations, during which ismet l’astia praised the Amer ican ambassador, Mr. Child, for Ills recent "eloquent address," to the con ference on the question of the foreign judicial system, was dignified through out and marked by no evidence of ill feeling. In this respect it differed greatly from ,tlio morning session, which took up the problem of provid ing a national homo for the Armen ians. .Leaves Meeting Hall. Angry at the allies' attempt even to bring the Armenian question Into the official discussion, Riza Nur Bey, the second Turkish delegate, delivered a short but violent attack on the al lies, then brusquely marched out of tho meeting hall. In consequence of this, Lord Cur zon, M. Barriero and Marquis dl Gar roni forwarded a strong letter of pro test to Ismet Pasha, requesting the head of the Turkish delegation to write some explanation of his col league's conduct. Riza Nur Bey, who Usually says the caustic things for the Turks when the Turks believe t hey must he said, was not daunted by the allied protest, but appeared smil ing and gracious at the afternoon i meeting when the fateful problem of capitulations was discussed. I reducing Had Impression. The unfortunate Incident of the morning, which followed the allies’ request that Turkey give her atten tion, from the humanitarian point of view, to the question of providing •t national home for the Armenians, produced a bad impression. Ismet Pasha’* dignified rejection of the al lies' proposals on capitulations only served to aggravate this impression. Itiza Nur refused to listen to the suggestions regarding Armenia and accused the allies of intriguing witli the Armenians and Assyro-Chaldeans during tlie great war. That is why the allies felt morally bound td do something for them. According to the Turkish account of tlie incident which produced a sen sation in conference circles, Chairman Montagna of the subeommlssion on minorities read a statement favoring the Armenian home, and was followed by f-'ir Horace Rumbold of Kngland, v ho spoke in advocacy of establishing the home in Cilicia. Sir Horace also wanted the Turks to give an inde pendent district to the Assyro-Chai deans, in the region south of Hake Van and west of Hake Urmia. Hound to Help Them. . Blza Nur Bey. the Turkish spokes man, declared he understood the al lied interest in the Armenians and others was because the allies had in cited them to revolt, and therefore felt morally hound to help them. Biza Nnr said he must consider to day's allied declarations as not hav ing been made atid that it was his duty to leave tlio meeting. Ho walked out amid ttie murmurs of the other delegates. Conference circles were seething with excitement after the incident, and wondering whether it forecast further affairs of the sort calculated to dis turb, if not disrupt, the entire confer ence.
