SUICIDE HELD PROBABLE
IN HENRY TERRY Case

Although the determinations Of the
county authorities were that Henry
Terry, former ranch hand and oil field
worker whose body was found in Cas-
per Creek about a mile and a half
west of Casper had come to his death
from strychnine poisoning. no further
official investigation of the case will
be undertaken, as it is believed that
the evidence presented shows a clear
case of suicide.
Information has been secured that
Terry should have had considerable
money in his possession. When his
body was found only 20 cents was dis
covered in his pockets.
Original reports that the man had
come to his death from pneumonia
were based or the fact that his lungs
showed the effects Of commissions. II
Is said that commissions from pneu

BOY BADLY HURT BY

struck between the eyes couple OF
weeks ago with a base ball bat, was
brought home by his mother this
week. His condition is wonderfully
improved and he is able to walk
about a little. For several days
there was little hope for his life but
the operation on his nose was so sue
cessful that his Improvement was
rapid.
On account of the nose being brok-
en- and the bone at the base of the
skill being shattered it IS necessary
for tubes to remain in the wound fol
sometime. Aside froma slight scar
on his cheek where the bat also made
deep cash, there is little exterior
trace Of his hurt.
It is feared the blow from the
bat injured the nerves between his
eyes but this has not been ascertain

OF U. BASES IN

Results of Private Conference
Among "Big Three" Under
Study Today

WASHINGTON, Dee. (By Asso-
ciated Prcss) .-Ncgotis tions in the
naval ratio question were practically
at a standstill today while the ia
panese delegates awaited further
word from Toxic. Today the re-
suits of yesterdays conference be-
tween the "big three were under
study by the japanese cabinet and
the diplomatic advisory council. All
indications were that whatever had
been proposed, it did not involve any
abandonment of the 5-5-3 ratio pro-
posed by the United States and sup
ported by Great Britain, but rather
that it concerned other considerations
which the Japanese regard as neces-
sary to them. Chief among these is
understood to be the question of
further fortifcation of American
bases in the Pacific, which the Jap
anese wish to see checked.

WIzARDLEAVES
SCENE OF STRIFE
Ku KIux Head OF "Fcr Health"
With Kleagle Clarke In
Charge Of klal

ATLANTA, Dec. 3.-The knights
Of the Ku Klux KIan" organization,
which short time ago was the sub
icct of some Congressional contro-
ycrsy and considerable public noto-
riety throughout the country, is
again embroiled in a turmoil of dis
order, this time among Nts own
officials.
As follow-up to the developments
Of Thursday, when Imperial Kleagie
Z. Y. Clarke instituted troyer pro
ceedings against Grand Goblin Har-
ry B. Terrell, of the Great Lakes
Domain of the Klan, to obtain posses
sion of $4,000 worth of property,
and counter sensational declarations
filed by Terrell and three other grand
COLLINS against Clarke, the imperial
kleagle himself has now issued a
statement that the whole thing IS a
part Of a million-dollar deal being
further by somebody to iniure him
and get him out of the order. Incl
dentally, Clarke charges in his state
ment, Imperial Wizard Simmons has
been offered a cash donation of
$4,000 if he will fire Clarke, which
he has, Clarke says, refused to do.
The only reason, says Clarke, that
the bribe was not offered to him is
because his enemies know they can
not buy him at any price.
The charges made against Clarke,
and which were presented to the
grand kloncilium" of the order, are
signed by Terrell, f. w Atkin, grand
goblin of the Atlantic domain, Lloyd
?. Hooper, grand goblin of the New
York domain, and A. j. Padon, Jr.,
grand goblin of the New England
domain. After the grand kloncilium
had considered the matter, according
to statement from Simmons as well
as from Clarke, the charges were all
set aside. Simmons in the meantime
had told the central body if the
charges were sustained either he or
Clarke would have to get out of the
order.
Now comes the statement that
numerous klans over the country are
IN revolt and demanding ei1e removal
OF Clarke and his associates in the
department of propagation. Efforts
made to get in communication with
Colonel Simmons, head aof the order,
brought the information that he left
Tor Asheville, N. c., for his health.
and will not be back until after
Christmas. In the meantime, it is
understood, the directions of affairs
are IN the hands of Clarke, who has
S'.ummarily dismissed the grand COB
hhs of four of the orders seven ''do-
mains" and who declares he will
clean them all out who are disloyal
to his department.
