After serving 27 years as head athletic coach at Auburn. Mike Donahur noted in southern athletic circles, filrl his resignation last week. When pressed for the reason he told the executive board that the Ku Klux klnn element in the college had hound ed him for more than a year because b is a Roman Catholic. He said the situation had become intolerable, and bo had dailv received threats fiom students and Alabama klansmen de manding his resignation. "I have given Auburn the best, in me, and her football team this year was the best in 15 years," Coach Donahue said. "But if the klan wants me to get out because I have, religion, it seems I must leave or stay and faro an eternal row." . The executive board, prevad'ng ou Donahue today to reconsider his res ignation, assured him every effort would be mde to eliminate unpleas antness. IThe ipublic annouhcenij:it he would remain at Auburn was fol lowed immediately by a flood of warn ifngs sent anonymously to (Auburn executives, that . the . Alabama legis lature next summer would make ter rific slashes in the college appro priations unless Donahue got out. Trustees of the school have detei mined to keep Donahue as head coach, even if the legislature refuses to appropriate one dollar. They say to asrgetaoshrdetaehosldrhhsulioatrd the college will run somehow, and that "invisible government" shall not dominate it. , . , According to the. alumni who re turned from Auburn tonight, the legislature in Alabama is packed with kinsmen. They say it had been es tablished beyond a doubt the klan started tho ouster movement against the Catholic athletic director. SHE KNEW By the Associated Press. San Jose, Cal., Dec. 8.

The new county officers were inducted into office this week, the oath of office being admin istered by W. C. Moore, clerk. Mr, Moore, who also begins a new term took the oath before the chairman of the county commissioners, F. . H Coffey. Mr. Coffey was elected chair man of the board at the beginning , of he board s session Monday morning. All of the new officers field bond, and these were approved and accepted The order of the former board made at a special meeting in November, creatine three new townships of Qamewell, Buffalo Cove, and Rich lands, was revoked. This action on he. part of the new board was be cause of the fact that the three ownships had not been created in a ogal way. , One other important matter that ame up was the dismissal of J. M. L'uttlc as county welfare officer. The ounty welfare officer is appointed y tne joint Doarcis oi county cum nissieners and the board of education. I he board of education passed an order taking the chairman of the board of ountv commissioners to request Mr. futtle to resien.

The Dublin corres pondent of the Evening Standard re orts that a party of men entered the Mercy hospital and shot a Free State ;oldier lying in one of the beds in re prisal for the murder of Rory O'Con ior and Liam Mellowes. ; By the- Associated Press. Washington, ec. f). President Harding in his annual message to con gress delivered today deals with a score of questions the most import ant of which are prohibition, farm credits, the transportation problem, child labor and immigration. ; The executive announces his pur pose to invite the governors of the states and territories to'ian early "con- terence with the federal executive authorities .with a view to adopting a uniform course against illicit liquor dealing. ; . .... . ; He says the day is unlikely to come when the prohibition amendment will be repealed and that the nation should adopt its course accordingly. President Hardjing tells . dongress that- if the . statutory provisions for enforcement ; of prohibition are con trary to public opinion, which does not believe in rigorous and literal en forcement we should concentrate pub lic attention on any requisite modifi cation. - . Such a course, he adds, "conforms with the law, and saves the humilia tion of our government and the humili ation 'of our people before the world and challenges the element which would destroy , our government." With regard to the transportation problem, Mr. Harding proposes that the railroad labor board be abolish ed with the substitution of a J labor division in. the interstate commerce commission with ample powers to re quire its rulings to be accepted by both parties to a disputed question. The evecutive also advises that the executives of the carriers and the officials of their organizations ' - be necouraged to take up and settle their own (problems, limiting officials of the government 1 body to dispute of such a character as likely to endanger the public interest. Coordination of all transportation facilities is urged, including inland waterways and motor truck trans portation. He inveighs against a sys tem of paralleling the railroads with truck roads instead of making the j motor truck a feeder for them. As to the carriers themselves, Mr. Harding suggests as ways of increas ed economy and efficiency, there be a merger of lines into systems, in terchange of freight cars, the con solidation of facilities and the econo mic use of terminals. , More extended credit for the farm ers, is strongly urged by the execu tive, who declares that the very proof ARE IK Representative Knight Galls Rally in Ohio to En courage Party to Get Back to "First Princi ples" and Stop Service to "Special Interests'9 Borah to Make Address. lllfflTFR nilKTIOl!! 1 SSfU fir liirrnrnT UMMMbl TO CITY Plans for the Christmas caroling J are aeveiopmg raiPid.lv.

Plans for a Republican meeting ' at Akron in February for the purpose of "aiding and encouraging the Republican party in Ohio to get back to first princi ples," were announced here today by Representative Knight, Republican of Ohio. Fifteen .or 20 progressives, Mr. night said, will be there to hear an address by Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, on "the necessity of rededi cating the Republican party to the service of the people." "The meeting, 'said Mr. Knight." will not be for the purpose of launch ing, aiding or encouraainef- anv third party in Ohio or to encourage the candidacy of any man for the pre sidency. ' "It would seek," he added, to "re dedicate the party" and get away 'from being office boy for the special interests." Mr. Knight declared in a statement that it was perfectly ap parent that Ohio was going to fall into the Democartlc lap in 1924 un less the Republicans do something, "adding that the Akron meeting would "reek to arouse and bring together those forwardlook-ing Republicans who are anxious that the party g back to the service of all the people." of North Carolina ; Roy L.
