LONDON, March S (By the As
sociated Press.) Gloomy plctureB of
the situation in the Kuhr, with warn
ings of an Impending crisis, are paint
cd today by Borne of the London news
paper correspondents.
A Duosseklorf dispatch to the tele
graph says that unemployment Is In
creasing and that the political situa
tion is dangerous. Economic condi
tions he describes as disastrous, as
serting that 25,000 persons are with
out work in Duesseldprf alono and
that the employment wagos are in
sufficient. Workmen are noticeably
dopressed, the correspondent adds
and rumors are current that they are
beginning to doubt the issue of She
struggle.
The French, this-dispatch adds, are
preparing1 to deal with the food prob
lem which will undoubtedly arise
with tho increase of unemployment.
Their Boup kitchens, boyicottod at
first, are now popular. ' .
The Cologne correspondent of the
Daily Express reports that conditions
in Essen and Bochum are pitiful and
that the death rate among the child-
us r,se" "r" pi "

I ""ouiaumuie.
The phrase 'hunger blockade is
. on "no "Ps l lu0 wno' uerumu V"i
ulation
The French militnry authorities
have -given' deflnito orders to admit
all foodstuffs to the cities, but some
!of tho trucks never arrive, and part
of tho shipments are stolen.
l'cncli Occupy Schools
Education, the correspondent adds,
is at a standstill for the French have
occupied the schools. The passing of
each day finds public feeling more
emblt'tored.
The impression that the "cauldron
in the Kuhr may boil over at any time
with fearful results In bloodshed," is
expressed by the Cologne represen
tative of tho Westminster Ga2etto.
He continues:
"It Ib the opinion of those best able
to judgo that unless n agreenint is
soon reached it can only be a mattor
of timo beforo another war breaks
out. I am told that Franco
would not hesitate to declare war
and bomb tho Gorman cities Includ
ing Berlin It her. forces are attack
ed." The correspondent adds that it 1b
only fair to point 'out that many re
ports of this character may bo trac
ed to Gorman sources. He asserts
that tho difficulty of obtaining relia
ble information bocnuse of the bov
oranco of communications is being
cjjistantly cmpbuslzcd. In this con
nection the Cologne corresiwndent ot
the Express Bays it is Impossible to
-erify some of tho stories In circula
tion and that rumors much moro se
rious than the facts warrant are rife.
Disarm German Police
BEULIN, March 8. (By the Asso
ciated Tress.) A ,telegram from
Dortmund statcB that the French re
entered thai city, surrounding a
school house and disarming tlio police
who were quartered thcro. Tho force
was removed to an unknown destina
tion. Tho French allowed the pa
trolmen to tako their belongings with
them while tho officers were permit
ted to retain their swords. The town
hall was later occupied. Units from
Dorstfold and Horten wero used In
the operation.
PARIS, March 8. (By ho Asso
ciatcd Press.) The government's
naval program was introduced in the
chamber ot deputies today by Minis
ter of Marino Ualbcrti, with the ro-
mark that tho program "was conceiv
ed within tho framework of the
Washington accords, bo that tho gov
crnmcnt cannot glvo Btronger proof
of its intention to obtain their ratll
ficatlon."
"The program," continued tho min
ister, "does not fix the number of
units, as that may vary with tho
needs ot the national defense, but It
fixed the tonnage for each category.
"For battleBhlps It provides for
I T.1,000 tons, but the preamble ex
plains that tho government has no In
tention of constructing to that extent
for tho present, for these reasons:
"Firstly, tho typo of the capital
ship has not been settled upon; sec
ondly, the fleet must be In accord
with our financial means, and
France has not the ' means to con
struct a fleet of capital ships and a
fleet of light units. , . '

HERE TO INSPECT
LUMBER SITUATION
Mr. and Mrs. James H. Owen ar
rived in Medford the first bf March
after a several months' visit in the
oast .andfijpect ;to, remain, here lor
mo next two montna. . .
J. H. Owen, who resigned from the
presidency of the California and Ore
gon Lumber company at Brookings
Ore., and disposed of his Interests in
that concern last fall,' Is looking for
a location to begin lumber manufac
ture again.
lie is looking over the situation
here and states that ho has made no
definite decision as to the beginning
of operations. A. R.. Owen, repre
senting the John S. Owen Interests,
of Owen, Wis., .will arrive about May
1, to collaborate with J. II. Owen and
give the situation a close inspection
and fuller j:oiiBldoratlotl..
Tho John S, Owen interests own
approximately 15,000 acres of tlm
bor In tho Butto FallB.tllstrlct which
Is penetrated by tho Brownloo-Olds
Lumber company railroad.' A little
over half tho timber Ib yellow and
sugar pine while tho remainder is
Douglas fir. -
The John S. Owen Interests also
own the John 8. Owen Lumber com
puny at Owen, Wis., neur Eau Clulre,
and the Kust-Owcn Lumber company
ut Drummond, Wis.
Iu regard to the local situation Mr.
Owen makes it quto emphatic that
nothing Is being done at present and
that there is no certainty 6t any
thing being done.
The Del Norte Triplicate ot Oct.
13, 1922, expresses the following sen
timent with regurd to the resigna
tion of James H. Owen as head of the
l. and O. Lumber compuuy:
'J. II. Owen has resigned from the
presidency of tho California and Ore
gon Lumber company, and has dis
posed of his Interests In that con
cern, according to Information reach
ing horo this week, tho resignation
having already taken effect.
"Mr. Owon built tho towji of
ilrooklngs and to his executive ability
and tar slghtcdness the concern
reached a high pinnacle in the Pacific
coust lumber world. Hampered by
every obstacle conceivable he kept his
organization intact through tliu try
lug times of tho war and soon as it
was over ho battled through tho de
pression period, coming up with a
bigger and better equipment to take
care of the growing business.
Mr. Owen still has and represents
large timber holdings In this county
and contemplates entering business
here, according lo Information reach
ing here. Mr. Owen's entry Into the
lumber business In Del Norto county
would mean the construction and op
eration ot another big redwood mill.
Tho Triplicate feels perfectly safe In
assuring him the full cooperation of
the people In Del Norte for any pay
roll proposition ho might inaugurate
here." . ,

FIND HORROR
BASTROP. LA.
Authorities Believe Watt Dan
iel and T. F. Richard Were
Tortured and Killed By Road
Tractor Metal Cleats On
Wheels Responsible for the
Bone Fractures. ''
BASTROP, La.. Mar. 8. (By Asso
ciated Press). PorsoiiB wbo havo ex
amined carefully tho report of tho
pathologists on the condition of tho
mutilated bodies of Watt Daniel and -T.
F. Itichurd, found in Lake Lafour
cha Decomber 22 last, and who aro
familiar with mochanlcal devices de
clare thoy believe thoy have identified
the socullcd "torture machine" as ono
of the many road or farm tractors in
use throughout tho parish.
Daniel and Richard were kidnaped
August 24 and nothing wus heard ot
them until four months later when
two bodies wero discovered in tho
lake and, identified as those ot the
missing men. The head of each was
crushed. The hands and feet had
been crushed orf and at oqual dis- -tanccB,
tlio lower legs, thighs, upper
arms and forearms wero broken. Tho
chests hud boen crushed in.
Tho pathologists testified at tho
open hearing here in January that an
examination indicated that the wounds
had been Inflicted beforo or Just after '
death. The heart of oach man, they
said, had been drained of blood. -
About three miles from Bastrop, on
tho Bastrdp-Colllston-Monroe highway -Is
a huge tractor used to pull a road 1
scraper, a typical machine ot Us kind.
The iron wheels are Boven or eight
feet In diameter while the rims have a
width of approximately throe foot.
Rivetod to the rims to prevent tho
wheels from slipping In soft earth, are
stcol cleats tho width ot tho wueols
and about fifteen Inches apart.
Bodies Driven Over
The bodies apparently had been
stretched full length when they wero
mutilated with the arms brought
ubovo tho head.. Fractures of tho
forearms wore on a lovel with tho
heads and those who assert the bones
must liavo been broken with a tractor,
believe they woro strotched on the
ground und the machine run or pushed
over thorn. Such a machine as the
ono noar here, It is contended, would
inflict such injuries, tho heavy cleats
on tho wido wheels, fracturing the
arm and log bones, crushing the heads
und chosts and sovorlng completely
tho bands und feet at the wrists and
just nhovo the ankles.
It is known that tho authorities
have received numerous unonymous ,
loiters from plantation owners and
fanners suggesting that a tractor
must havo boon used.
Dunlut wus forced to submit to an -operation
und those who buvo deter- .
mined upon a possihlo motlvo for tho '
mutilation bollovo that ho blod to '
death or that his captors roullzod ho',
would succumb. Having blood on thoir '
hands it either was determined to
muko away with Richard as he might
havo recognized one or more members
ot tlio band, or Itichurd might have
broken 1Mb bonds and during an at
tempt to go, to tho assistance ot Dan- ,
iol was killed.
