On advice of the Attorney General, President Hard inglng has annulled War Department contracts with the United States Har ness company for disposal of surplus harness. Mr. Daugherty held these contracts to violate criminal code sec tions prohibiting participation by gov ernment officers or employes in such transactions. The President's 'action was disclosed in a memorandum made public today by Secretary Weeks, saying in part: "These contracts were entered into by the former director of sales, with failure me approval ui oecieiory J3aKer, ana provided that the large accumulation or stock of surplus military harness and accessories were to be turned over to the United States Harness company to be reconditioned and sold, or sold in its original condition upon a profit sharing basis. "The facts developed by the Attorney General led him to the conclusion that these contracts had been entered into as a result of the conspiracy on the part of certain former temporary officers of the army to secure these contracts and the control of large stocks of harness on hand for their own benefit. "The War Department has naturally followed the advice of the law officer of the government in this matter." Secretary Weeks said the case now was in the hands of the Department of Justice for such action as deemed prop er. He believed, he said, it would be made a part of the general investiga tion of war contracts ordered by Mr. Daugherty. The only other war con tract case transmitted to the Depart ment of Justice, Mr. Weeks added, was that known as the "Salmon case." St. Louis, June 15. Government con trol over business as he said was ex emplified by the packer control bill now before Congress was termed "a government oligarchy of socialism" by' END PLANS FOR KLANMEETING Capacity Audience Expect ed for First Open Meeting of Secret Order.

WANT FARM TO MARKET ROADS Southern Senators Object to Building Nothing But In terstate Highways. BY PARKER ANDERSON, Washington, June 15. Southern Senators are framing amendments to the Townsend good roads bill to pro vide for farm to market highways in place of the main trunk interstate lines of the Townsend bill, which also creates a Federal commission to su pervise the spending of the $100,000, 000 appropriation for roads. Congressman Hammer is preparing a bill which has for its purpose the wiping out of the public utilities com mission of the District of Columbia and automatically restoring five-cent street car fares in Washington. Prohibition Commissioner Haynes emphasized this morning his determi nation to use every possible means to enforce the national "dry" law. Regula tions on the use of beer are to be is sued at once, and the Palmer rulin;; followed. The Anti-Saloon forces in the House are planning to rush through a measure of beer restriction before the internal revenue bureau acts. Census Bureau figures given out to day show that in the past ten years there has been an increase in North Carolina of .over 10,000 farms operated by negroes and nearly 10,000 operated by negro tenants. The value of negro owned farms in the ten years ha in creased from $66,793,591 to $223,666,166, or more than $156,000,000. Declaring the present tendencv is to wards "centralizing the control of tiie entire country in Washington," Sena tor Reed said he could see nothing but the greatest peril ahead "if it be grant ed that the government may take, charge of industries on the ground that they produce the necessities of life." "If we adopt that principle," the Senator continued, "it follows that there is absolutely no limitation to the power of governmental control over the entire business of the land. "Such a scheme is after all a govern mental oligarchy of socialism carried to the extreme. It goes much farther than the socialism established by Kaiser Wilhelm." Government supervision would be un der direction of men '.'for the most part never - do wells," Mr. Reed de clared. "Although the authority would be delegated to a high official, em ployes would do the actual work. "They are men who have driftel to Washington who are capable-of earning only a fair salary and who have left their homes in search of political jobs because they cannot find employment among the men who know them and are acquainted with their capacities." for the first open meeting of the local I production of oil in Mexico will be go- clan of the KuKlux Klan to be held ing on thirty years hence, said E. L. Doheny, president of the Mexican Petro leum Company, in commenting today on the report made public in Washington yesterday by Chairman Porter, of the House foreign affairs committee, which alleged that production in Mexican oil fields was declining. Mr. Doheny said that this report, which was made by J. A. Phelan, a Shipping Board expert, to Read Admiral Benson, former chairman of the board. was made as the result of a crusory trip through the oil fields many months ago". "Since his short visit to the fields, 145 wells have been drilled and arc progress of drilling." Mr. Doheny The next time you buy calomel ask for the meeting will be delivered by Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, pastor of Central Bap tist church in Atlanta. Ga. Thosa in charge ofplans for the meeting have extended - invitations to all of the social, professional, civic and commercial organizations of the city, as well as to the patriotic orders. In dications were said to be that the Au ditorium winbe filled to capacity. The two front rows of sects will be reserved for Confederate veterans and every member of Mecklenburg Camp, U, C. V., who can attend is expectea to do so. Dr. Ridley will be introduced to the audience by Dr. Luther Little, pastor of the First Baptist church, of this city. Rev. L. H. Mashburn, pastor of tiio Christian church, will open the meet ing with prayer. The purpose of the meeting is to ac quaint the public with the ideals ind purposes of the-Ku Klux Klan which perhaps has received more newspaper comment throughout the country re cently than any other secret order. Dr. Ridley is recognized as a force ful and interesting speaker. His sub ject will be "The Ku Klux Klan." Ho is president of the Dixie Defenso League and for years has taken an ac tive interest in Southern affairs. in continued- "Many of them are complet ed, and it is a well known fact ' that wells completed on Toteco and Nunez Chapapote open up a new territory more than three times th6 forty square miles which is the only territory alluded to in the reports in this morning's news papers, and which Mr. Phelan reported as largely exhausted." The estimate of the Interior Depart ment as to oil reserves of Mexico was erroneously printed in New York papers The correct figures are 4,500,000,000 barrels and these were printed correct ly throughout the country but an error in printing machine transmission to New York City and Philadlphia reduc ed the figures to 4,500,000 barrels.
