bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find

dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.

Simmons Helpless After
Collapse on Witness Stand
Before Committee
CONGRESSIONAL
PROBE is DOUBTED

WASHINGTON, oct. 14.-United
Press) imperial Wizard William
Joseph Simmons. was unable to re-
sumo the stand before the House
rules committee inquiry today into
Ku Klux Klan.
His physician said he was suffer-
ing from a severe attack of laryn-
gifts and was confined to his bed.
Simmons probably will not be able
to appear before the committee until
Monday.
Doubt that a Congressional inves-
tigation OF the Klan would be order
ed was expressed today when COM
mittee convened to resume cross ex-
animation Of Col. Simmons. Sup
porters of the movement to have
Congress delve into the affairs and
activities of the khan made a final
effort to prove three charges.
/. That the Klan used the mails
TO defraud.
2. That the Khan committed
overt acts against individuals and in
cited riots.
3. That the Klan had knowingly
evaded income tax payments to the
Government.
Members OF the Simmons party
and persons who had assisted in the
investigation Of the Klan expressed
the belief that the evidence pre-
sented thus far did not contain the
foundation for a probe by Congress.
Not one witness has produced con-
elusive evidence OF violation OF the
law against the Klan, they held.
Simmons. whose physical collapse
late yesterday, caused postpone
ment OF the hearing. admitted that
his organization had not paid In
come taxes. He explained that the
| SO paid by each Klansman on
joining. is a donation, and is sc
designated in all the records. Wher
the income tax law was enacted. ht
said, he conferred with the internal
revenue collector in Atlanta. and was
told his organization was not sub.
ject to the act.
IF you gentlemen Ind we are OBJ.
ligated TO the government under this
law, we will pay IL It takes our last
dollar" he said.
At another point in his remarks he
said he would destroy the Ku Klu1
Klan II the committee thought the
organization not fit to live.

Want SOLICITOR
To To CCLLEEIA!R!! CCLLEEIA!!! LAW Law
Labor Waits Satterth-
waite's Opinion on 8
Hour Measure
SOME DOUBT.
ABOUT LEGALITY

Reuben Satterthwaite, Jr., City So
licitor. who is expected to arrive in
Wilmington tonight after a trip to
Lexington. KY, will be confronted
by municipal problem requiring his
immediate attention.
Before his departure for the South
the Central Labor Union had made
demand on City Council that the
state laws providing for an eight
hour work day and prevailing
rates" OF wages on municipal con-
tracts should be enforced on the
marine terminals and public library
contracts. held by the DUPONT En-
gineerng Company and on street,
sewer, water and park work. Since
that time the Central Labor Union
has served notice on virtually every
department of the city threatening
court action within a week unless
the laws in question we're lived up to.
City Council has held a hearing
OF the heads OF the city departments,
at which the latter declared they
we're living up to the laws as near
as possible. A special committee also
has conferred with II. NJ. Pierce.
president OF the DUPONT Engineering
Company. Mr.. Pierce presented data,
which, according to President of
Council Ward. contradicts the charges
made relative TO the marine termi-
mails and public library work.
A report by the special committee
has been brown up for presentation
to Council, and would have been
made last night, but for the absence
OF Councilman Mulvena. a member OF
the committee. 1t was considered
advisable that every member OF the
special committee should be present
when the report was made.
Prior to his departure south. Mr..
Satterthwaite expressed the opinion
that the eight-hour law merely held
that contractors working for the
city could not require" men to work
longer than eight hours a day, but
that IL the men were willing TO work
and thus gain the extra pay they
could do so. Notices TO this effect
have been posted by the company at
the marine terminals.
As to prevailing rates" OF wages
question has arisen as to who or
what body shall determine what
such a rate may be. The Central
Labor Union insists that certain
rates are the prevailing" sched-
ules, but contractors assert that they
are able to obtain men for much
lower figures, which therefore form
the prevailing" standards.
AS the notices threatening legal
action were served on the various
municipal departments early In the
week, the city solicitor shall have
to plan a line OF defense for the mu-
lnicipality X suits should be entered
early next week.

ARREST OFFENDING
MERCHANTS TODAY

Warrants will be issued this after
noon for the arrest OF merchants
who have failed to comply with the
orders of the Street and Sewer De-
partment to remove stands beyond
the building line on King street.
Street Commissioner Pierson said
this morning.
The action is not being taken un-
der the so-called market laws. said
Mr.. Pierson, as many seem to think
but under the act creating the Street
and Sewer Department. The law
does not apply to King street alone
but to all streets. The reason for
the arrest Of the King street mer-
chants is that the law is more flag
rantly violated there and the depart
ment has decided to make arrests of
those merchants for a test case.
