Up. LEADER At
ATLANTA SAYS
z. r. Upchurch Files Affidavit
Making Charges Of Most
Serious Nature.

ATLANTA, Dec. 19.-The Ku KluS
Khan is practically broken, according
to an affidavit made public by z. r.
Upchurch. one of the leaders of the
Atlanta khan, who is fighting to de-
pose Edward Young Clarke, imperial
kleagle. and his associate In business,
Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler.
The affidavit claims that the khan
now faces payment of large obligations
with a depleted treasury; that IL does
not hold clear title to any of the real
estate IL has purchased, and that II
has been trying to sell certificates Of
Indebtedness to individual klansmen
in the hope of obtaining necessary
funds to tide 1t over the emergency.
Upchurch, who for several years
was associated with Clarke in a bust
ness way, makes unprintable charges
concerning the past life of Mrs. Tyler
and Clarke, supported by allegations
of immoral conduct between them, CIV
ing his own personal observations OF
conditions existing at 1875 South Prior
street, where the couple was arrested
together In October, 1919, and fined
for disorderly conduct. He also tells
of conditions at Mrs. Tyler's home on
the Howell Mill road.
He claims that Clarke has defrauded
charitable and religious organizations
out of thousands of dollars when con-
Quoting money-raising campaigns for
them and had continued this practice
in his conduct of the propaganda of
the khan. He says that he recon-
mended Clarke. to Simmons, not know
Ing at that time his utter baseness."
He claims that Mrs. Tyler and Clarke
represented themselves as being very
wealthy, whereas all they had was
$4,000.
Simmons was Shocked.
Upchurch claims that when Mr..
Simmons became aware of the South
Prior street incident he was greatly
and said that Clarke and Mrs.
Eyler must get out at once and offer
ed to him Opchurch) the Job held by
Clarke. Upchurch, however, was
forced by lack of funds to turn II
down, he says, and the order was
forced to retain Clarke.

DRYS WOULOASK

RUM RUNNING
Officials Approach Hughes With
Plan to Cover Illegal
Imports.
By w. il. ATKINS.

Sss~~~~-s~s <S0Wo sDHvbcOs
Dry leaders. moving to keep i'm.
ported liquors out of the United
States. have proposed to Secretary of
State Hughes that this Government
ask Great Britain to help put q stop
to smuggling operations from British
POSSESSIONS to this country. 1t was
learned today.
William Jennings Bryan, spokes-
man for the drys, earnestly appealed
to Secretary Hughes to initiate dis
cusstons with British diplomats with
a view to some arrangement with
British authorities that will shut off
the whiskey supplies now coming
from British possessions.
Secretary Hughes has Bryan's plan
under consideration. Immediate ac-
ton upon It is not expected. The
State Department Is so deeply alb.
sorbed in the arms linn tation confer
ence that prohibition and other prob
lens will be tackled later.
The move of the drys results from
review Of liquor conditions in the
United States, revealing an - onish.
ing quantity of imported liquors for
sale in all localities where there is q
demand.
Many officials concluded that
smuggling of liquors from the BAHIA
mas and over the Canadian border,
has become the really serious. phase
of prohibition, because 1t IL not
physically poss BILE for the Govern.
ment to stop smugglers' operations.
Official reports estimate that scarcely
more than one-tenth of per cent of
the smuggled liquor brought through
Atlantic ports Ia detected.
The details Of Bryan's plan are
not known. 1t is sa d that he did
not go far with Secretary Hughes in

LLOYD GEORGE

MAY TALK navy
Possibility Exists That French
'hoIdout" In Ratio Will Be
Settled in London.

VIII the question Of the French
navy be settled at Washington or In
London? Mr.. Lloyd George and M.
BRAND will have plenty to talk about
when they meet today. but they can
hardly manage to avoid the one issue
that for the moment il dividing
their two countries beyond any other.
Not. of course, that there is likely
to be any formal naval discussion In
London. That would be less than
courteous to Mr.. Balfour and M. Sar-
raut and to the Conference in gen.
eral. But 1t will be odd II the British
Premier does not find an opportunity
10 point out to his colleague. with
some emphasis that; the problems
they have to hammer out together
will be considerably easier to solve II
the complication Of a naval disagree
ment Is out Of the way. And IL after
that M. BRAND should desire to send
cable from London to the Willard
will be offered him.
The trouble about the navy discus
sion SO far is that the two sides are
arguing on entirely different princi-
Piles. The French are demonstrating
their med Of q big navy. Even II
their arguments were impressive,
naval needs are not the basis of the
ratio. What Mr.. Hughes has insisted
from the first. and what the British.
the Japanese and the Italians have
acknowledged as reasonable, Is that
the relationship existing between the
different navies when the conference
opened shall be taken as the starting
point, and reduction effected on
that basis. The whole thing is a
matter of mathematics, and the only
question that arises Is whether the
American calculations are accurate.
In any case, the French contention
will not stand.

By J. BART CAMPBELL,

Senatorial critics Of the new
Four-Power Pacific Treaty are 60
ing to demand that reservations be
attached to the agreement to make it
clear that the use Of armed force
is not implied under article 2, it was
learned today from opponents Of the
pact.
1t il likely that these reservations
will be Of q character similar to
those proposed for article 10 Of the
covenant of the League Of Nations.
Seeks Amendments.
Senators who are opposed to the
treaty declared they would not rest
content with a mere statement by
Republican leaders that the treaty
would not bind the United States 10
employ Its military and naval forces
TO 60 to the aid Of Great Britain,
Franco or japan In case the terri
torial integrity of either of those
nations in the Pacific Is menaced.
They woul seek to have the treaty
amended textually. or a reservation
attached to It. 30 that such use of
American military and naval forces
would be expressly forbidden without
tue bdnCtlOn Oh congress.
Democratic Senators who still re-
fleet the League of Nations views
Of former President Wilson intimatsd
that they thought a number of res
ervations could be attached to the
treaty which would help to clarity
its disputed provisions. One that
they had in mind. they said. would
stipulate that the treaty was not
to be construed as in any way pre-
venting the United States from en-.
tering the League Nations IL II chose
to do so at some future time.
Senators Bide Time.
They recalled the Lodge reservations
to the League covenant, and declared
that in view Of the strong Republican
support those reservations received Il
could hardly be said that reservations
offered to the new treaty would con-
flict with an established Republican
policy.
As neither the Four.Power pact nor
any Of the other agreements evolved
by the armament conference are to be
submitted to the Senate until after the
holidays. the Wilson Senators are bid
ing their time while "watchfully wait
ing" for future developments. The,
rave not yet decided what they shall
do when the Senate is called upon to
pass finally upon the conference de-
cisions.
