X. X. X. HELPS TO
STOP NIGHT RIDING
Col. William j. Simmons, Imperial
Wizard, Urged Clansmen to Do
SO, and Reports Indicate Eff
fective Work Resulted.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. g. Practical
cessation of the activities of the night
riders who were posting gins and
threatening owners unless they stopt
until the price of cotton rose, is
attributed in large part to the work
Of the dku Klux Klan in letters re-
ceived by Colonel William ]. Sim
mons, imperial wizarad of the organi-
zation.
Colonel Simmons, according to a
statement issued by him today, has
received letters from practically every
section of the southern states in
which the night riders were active
for several weeks, commenting the
imperial wizard and the members of
the Ku Kiux Klan for the prompt ac-
tion taken in aiding officers of the
law and private citizens in suppress
ing the activities Of the night riders.
When it became known that the
night riders were seriously interfer-
ing with the ginning of cotton and
were bringing censure upon the south
for their efforts to raise the price of
cotton by force and intimidation. Col
onel Simmons Immediately issued a
decree commanding every member Of
the Ku Klux Klan to do all in his
power to assist officers Of the law in
putting an end to the outlawry.
The imperial wizard specially called
attention to the fact that the night
riders, in some instances, had been
confused with the Knights of the Ku
klux Klan because they wore masks
and robes somewhat resembling the
official regalia of the KIan and he
urged that the Klansmen be especially
vigilant in their work so as to en-
phatically refute this slander.
