Tractor Crushed Victims of Klan _ Such Is Theory Advanced in Louisiana Murders as to ‘"’Torture Machine.” liastrop, La, March S.—(/P)—Per prune who have- examined carefully the report of the pathologists oa the condition of the mutilated bodies of Watt Daniel and T. F. Richard found in Lake La Fourehe. 3>i ember 22, last, and who are fa miliar with mechanical devices, de clare they believe they have identified the so-called "torture machine" as one of the many road or farm tractors in use throughout the parish. Daniel and Richard were kidnaped August 24, and nothing was heard of them until four months later, when two bodies were discovered in the lake and identified as those of the missing men. The head of each was crushed. The hands and feet of each had been crushed off and at equal distances, the lower legs, thighs, upper arms and forearms were broken. The chests had been crushed in. . Inflicted Before Death. The pathologists testified at the open hearing here in January that an examination indicated the wounds had been inflicted before or just at dentil. The heart of each man, they said, had been drained of blood.

Neglected constipation causes the Mood pressure to go up 28 per cent, and that is the forerunner of hardening of the arteries. It makes rheumatism and gout worse, too. The ideal ronsLipation remedy for people of advancing years is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a vegetable compound of Egyptian senna and pepsin with pleasant* i tasting aromatics. It is gentle and mild, and floes not cramp or gripe. It is a mistake to think you nerd a violent salt or powder or pill, calomel, coal-tar drugs and such things.

Do it now! weaken you, and their reaction lends 1o make you inure consti pated than before. w ' Now try the milder method. Dr. < .uldwell’s Syrup Pepsin does not lose its good effect with re peated use, and increased doses are unnecessary. Mrs. Li. M. Burgess of Enfield. N. C., who is 73, keeps herself in good health with it, and Mr. Charles Chorman of Stapleton, Staten Island, N. Y., wasted fifteen years and consid erable money on other remedies before finding steady relief with Syrup Pepsin.

Many thousands of elderly people use. nothing else, and it Costs them less than a cent a dose. Druggists have sold it successfully for 30 years, and it is the most widely bought family laxative in the world. the Rastrop-Collinston Monroe high way is a huge tractor used to pull a road scraper, a typical machine of its kind, propelled by a heavy duty gasoline motor. The iron wheels are seven or eight feet in diameter, while their rims have a width of approxi mately three feet. The bodies apparently had been stretched full length when they were mutiliated with the arms brought above the head. Fractures of tljg heads and those who attest the bodies heads and those who arrest the bodies must have been broken with a tractor believe they were stretched on the ground and the machtfie run or push ed over them. Such a machine as the one near here, it is contended would inflict such injuries, the heavy cleats on the wide wheels fracturing the arm and leg bone?, crushing the heads ami chests and severing com pletely the hands and feet at the wrists and Just above the ankles. I’ossihle Motive. Firm in the belief that the bodies were broken with a tractor, those advancing the theory also declared that they have hit upon a possible motive. When the kidnapers released Daniel's father. "Tot" Davenport, and \V. C. Andrews al Collington, but retained Daniel and Richard as pris oners, the three set at liberty were told that one of these men would re turn but the other would leave the county. It is now believed that Richard was the man destined to return as he had a wife and several children. Daniel was unmarried. Daniel was forced to submit to an operation and those who have determined upon a possible mo tive for the mutilation believe that he bled to death or that tiis raptors realized he would soon die, were de termined to make way with Richard as ho might recognize one or more members of the band. With_ both men dead or dying, it beanie necessary for the slayers to hide the bodies and do something to make identification impossible, if they were ever discovered. To make Shrine Circus at City Auditorium Invaded by School Children The Shrine chins at the Auditiv riurn was invaded by school children of the city yesterday afternoon. The matinee performance started later than usual to enable school widdics to witness all of it. Visiting merchants attending Mer chants' Market week festivities re newed (heir youth at the cirrus Wednesday night, laughing as mer rily at the antics of the hig ele phants and the littls clowns, and getting as many thrills from the trapeze artists as any child present. School officials say thousands of children were more diligent today, taking no chances of having to stay after school and missing the circus. Old King Tut Leaps Into Fame The man of the hour is undoubtedly that late King of Egypt whose combined residence and tomb was lately opened to newspaper reporters and others. “The most remarkable man in the world today is King Tut-ankh-Amen,” flatly announces one newspaper editor. “Al most overnight he has obtained a position of eminence surpassing that of the President of the United States, or the Premier of Great Britain, or Charlie Chaplin, or Jack Dempsey. . . . His leap into fame has been even more spectacular than that of Dr. Coue.” By way of corroboration of this very generally held opinion of the popular King, dress makers are bringing out Tut-ankh-Amen costumes, an enterprising silk manufacturer is ad . vertising, with^n interesting variation on the name, “Tu-tank-ha-men” silks (Reg. App. for U. S. Pat. Off.), a whole act of a New York musical comedy has been cut so that a new Tut ankh-Amen episode can be put in, he is said to be slated for the movies, poems galore have been written about him, Margot Asquith has appeared in I^ondon wearing a gown draped, at least in part, after the manner of the popular young King’s kilts, while babies, suburbs, restau rants. apartment houses, and parlor cars are being named after him, and it is confidently pre dicted that there will soon be a King Tut cigar. The simple fact is the King is all the rage, in spite of his age of some three thousand four hundred years. In THE LITERARY DIGEST this week (March 1 Ofh), there arc two live news-articles, graphic ally illustrated, which tell all about this famous King of Egypt and of the splendors in historic treas ures which have been unearthed in his tomb.
