THE XII KLUX KHAN.
Breaks Up in North While Southern
| Emperor (?) Tries TO Explain.

!
AS result of the expose made by
| the New York World of the pefnl-
cious and dangerous activities OF the
Eso-called Ku Klux Klan, the northern
branch Of the order a few days ago
issued a statement voluntarily dis
banding. The statement signed with
the seal Of the Great Wizard of the
North, reads in part as follows:
eve of the Invisible Empire Of the
North, firm in the knowledge that
our orgaslization has never been
guilty of the charges preferred
against the Ku Klux Klan Of the
south, yet feeling that the crimes Of
the southern Klansmen are such that
no order bearing the name can win
approval or live in the United States,
today voluntarily surrender our or
ganiZatiOn."
t 4 Simultaneous, with the publication
of the above statement of disband-
ment there appeared in some Of the
New Orleans newspapers a full page
advertisement containing a sworn
statement, signed by William Joseph
Simmons, self styled, ''Imperial Wiz
ard" and addressed ''To all lovers
of law, order, peace and justice and
to all the people Of the United
States" In this statement Simmons
attempts to refute the charges which
have been preferred against the Klan,
and to show that it is very much ma
tligned s'institution of chivalry, hu-
manity, justice and patriotism"
But the statement and explanations
Of Simmons will prove of no avail.
The American people are convinced
that the order is a menace to the
peace, honor and dignity Of the coun-
try and that is must be suppressed.

CARUso's UNUSUAL THROAT.
Physician Who Treated Him Tells oi
Its Unusal Condition.

DR.. William Lloyd, throat special
lst, who for many years treated
Caruso, says that, comparing him
with other great singers, he found
the following characteristics of the
perfect singing machine:
'The most striking feature was
the great length of the vocal tube;
the distance from the teeth to the
vocal cords, in Caruso was at least
half an inch more than any other
great tenor 1 have examined. !.
ga second point was the length
of the vocal cords, on whose length,
breadth and thickness the pitch of
the voice largely depends: The
average length of the relaxed vocal
cords in a man is 18 millimeters
(about ga inch.) Caruso's were 1-6
inch longer than those of any other
tenor ! have seen.
"The capacity for vibration of the
vocal cords is another most import
ant factor, for the higher the note
the more rapid must be the vibra-
ton. Caruso when singing his won
derful chest C sharp reached the
phenomenal vibration for man of
$50 per second.
"Caruso's whole body seemed to
have more average resonance and
one of the great secrets of his won
derful voice was the formation of
the epiglottis, which was thick at
the base, as in bassos, but exquisite
ly fine and delicate at the free end.
The power of his voice was so great
that he often fractured glasses in
my consulting room by singing their
fundamental notes at the Office"

TO MAKE MORE RAW SUGAR.
Sugar Planters in this State Con-
template Bigger Output


Sugar planters in Louisiana con-
template a greater output of raw su-
gar this fall than for a number OF
years past, according to an item IN
the Louisiana Planter and Sugar
Manufacturer. The item goes on
to say that the percentage of raw
sugars made in this state this COM
ing season will be very high, COM
pared with the past several seasons,
now seems assured. 1t is consider
ed unwise by most of the leading
Louisiana sugar men, to go back
to test sugar manufacture, but the
experience of the planters in the past
eleven or twelve months in the mar
keting of high-grade sugars was so
unsatisfactory that many have in
more or less desperation decided to
make the inadvisable change to the
old order of things. They do not
want to be argued with on the point
and seem to forget that it wasn't be-
cause the sugar they made was di-
rect consumption stocks, that it was
not sold, and do not seem to know
that the Cuban raws had as many
marketing difficulties as the Lou
isiana white sugars. They do not
realize, either, say those who are do
ing their utmost to stop the back
ward step contemplated, that when
they make raws they limit their buy
ers to an almost irreducible minimum
and that while it is hard to sell white
sugars today, it is not a bit easier
and indeed harder to sell raw sugars.
Sober second thought is expected to
convince many planters that they
should not retrace the progressive
steps they have made in the last
five years, but even so, all admit
that Louisiana will show the largest
raw sugar output in 1921 that she
has shown in recent years.
