kLU KLUX DEFENDED
BY IMPERIAL WIZARD
SIMMONS SAYS IF KLAN WERE
LAWLESs BAND 1T COULD
NOT HAVE OBTAINED SUCH
LARGE MEMBERSHIP DE.
MES FIGHTING TEACHERS.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Defending
the Ku Klux Klan, Wl&am J. Sim
mons, its imperial wiza8, told the
house rules committee today that
if it had been lawless band it could
not have obtained such large men,
bership, comprising the leading men
of many communities.
Simmons declared that if the
khan was guilty of one thousandth
part of the crimes charged against
it he would immediately summon tie
head officers and forever disband it
in every section of the country.
Paul s. Ethrdge of Atlanta, who
described himself as supreme attor-
ney, stated that Mr.. Simmons who
was present was suffering with nau-
sea but hoped to testify later in the
day. .: ~
Mr.. Etheridge declared that Mrs.
Elizabeth Tyler of Atlanta, had no
relation with the imperial body,
and, according to his information,
was with the propogating depart
ment.
IF Mrs. Tyler has had any control
over the organization, it has been
outside. of my knowledge" the wit
ness said.
Referring to published reports
that several teachers in Atlanta
were defeated for reelection by the
school board because they were
Catholics" Mr.. Etheridge declared
there was no truth in it.
"There was not kinsman on the
board" he testified. T..
He also asserted that the Lake
wood killing in Atlanta was not the
work of klansmen, and that certain
alleged participants had been prose-
cuted by John A. Boykin, district at
torney, whom he described as an &C.
knowledged Hansman."
There is nothing about our Or
ganization that will not stand the
light of day." he said. GAS a mat
ter of fact I shall be glad to have
a congressional investigation, for in
that way we can. orovc conclusive
ly that the Ku Klux Klan is founded
on 100 per cent Americanism.'' e..
William Monroe Trotter, Of Bos-
ton, speaking for the National Equal
Right League, the first witness, de-
clared the khan was "a private, un-
official organization which interfcres
With personal liberties of people,
most of whom are outside it's mem
bership." Such interferences, he
charged, was an attempt to prevent
the proper exercise Of government.
''The method of coercion, Trot-
ter said, ''is shown by the sending of
threatening letters to persons to
cease doing certain things" and by
use Of the hooded gowns. He charac-
terized the khan as "a real menace
to the sense of personal security Of
millions of citizens"

Armos Laitinen, the muscular Finn,
recently arrived in this country in
quest of new honors, after making
short work of the best on the oppos-
lite side of the briny deep; his man
ager. Hjalmar Lundin, the former
Swedish heavyweight champion, who
exchanged holds with the best in his
day, and Hilmer Johnson, the elusive
South Brooklyn Svenska Pirker.
Like all good mechanics, Laitinen,
who lays claim to the European cham
pionship, served his apprenticeship in
the amateur ranks. He was born in
Helsingfors, Finland. q years ago.
and at the age of IA took up wrestling
in the simon pure ranks. Two years
later he had acquired the lightweight,
welterweight. light heavyweight and
heavyweight amateur crowns in rapid
succession. Two years ago he turned
professional and continued his chain
of successes in practically all of the
European countries.
He Is particularly anxious to force
Joe Stecher, Stranger Lewis or Earl
Caddock on the mat with him.
In the 70 bouts in which he has par
ticipated, Laitinen has never known
what it means to taste defeat. He is

% inches; calf, 10 inches, and biceps
10 inches. He holds the record weight
Of 10 men in bridge (standing on his
chest), while bent back with his head
touching the floor and his legs spread
out.
For three years Laitinen was a de-
tective on the police force in Helsipg-
fors, made many important arrests,
and had many close calls from death
during the Red and White clashes in
Finland. He was later appointed chief
bodyguard of President J. K. Sthol-
berg of Finland and while accompany
ing him and the war minister on one
trip had what he considers his tough
est graphing encounter off the mat.
Five bandits, as the Reds are celled
in Finland, threw bomb in the hopes
of killing the war minister. No casual
ties resulted.
Latinen closed in on the quintet and
narrowly escaped being struck by a
bullet from a as caliber revolver by
one of the bandits, who discharged it
while 18 feet away. The wrestler over
powered the five single-handed and
marched them off to the lookup. Be
cause of this and other heroic deeds
he was one of the most feared men in
Finland. He made an attempt to come
to this country two years ago, but
could not obtain permission. He
eventually succeeded through the eff
forts of President Stholberg and ar
rived here Oct. IL on the steamer

WISCONSIN APPEARS
BIG ten DARK HORSE
(By Associated P-ess)

CHICAGO. Jan 3.-With the opening
of the Western Conference champion
ship basketball season Monday, the
quintette representing the University
of Wisconsin looms up tonight as the
real dark horse" of the 1921 race.
The Badgers are pinning their
championship hopes on w. Z. Mean,
we'll. basketball coach, whose ability
to develop fighting teams out of the
ordinary material is recognized
throughout the Big Ten" In six years
from 1911 to 1916, Coach Meanwell
turned out four championship teams
for Wisconsin. There has been a
scarcity of seasoned material in the
Badger camp, however, Capt. Taylor at
forward being the only outstanding
player.
The brilliant Purdue Ave, which
finished close to Chicago in the race
last season, will enter the field with
out its greatest asset-a high powered
scoring combination. Tillson. Church
and Campbell have graduated, leaving
Capt. White, brilliant running guard
and Miller, a back guard, as the
nucleus for this seasons team.
In the last five years, no team in
the Big Ten" has won the title two
years in succession, and if the race
develops into a tight struggle this
season, and recent tradition is repeat
ed, the championship won by Chicago
last season will fall to another con-
tender in the 1921 campaign.
Wisconsin will take the field against
Northwestern at Evanston. Monday in
the only game scheduled. The other
teams will not swing into the race
until next Saturday, when two games
are to be decided, bringing together
Indiana and Ohio and Wisconsin and
Michigan. The season will close
March IA with Northwestern meeting
Iowa at Iowa City. All of the teams
have scheduled twelve games, the limit
set by the conference,

ed his bout with Alexander Aberg in
Europe the hardest of his career. They
grappled for two hours before Laitinen
got the verdict. He was originally an
association football player and got his
incentive for the wrestling game while
attending circus as a boy while a
number of important bouts were con.
tested.
Laitinen is said to be the inventor
of a special deadlock that is far more
dangerous than Joe Stecher's famous
scissors. The Finn uses it only as an
emergency measure. It maintains the
grip Of wise and paralyzes whatever
side of the head it is secured on. Lun.
din, who has been in the game longer
than most of the present-day crop of
wrestlers, says he never saw the equal
of the hold. Laitinen expects to beat
Stecher with it If they are ever
matched.
Laitinen is willing to wrestle any
heavyweight in the world at either

He has deposited $1,000 with Johnny
Fleeson. manager of the Prospect
Sporting club, as a forfeit to meet any
heavyweight procured for him. All he
wants, he says, is fair chance to dis
play his prowess.

BUMPER SUGAR CROP
IN HAWAII FOR 1921
Cry Associated Press)

HONOLULU. T. H., Jan. 3.-There
are prospects for an enormous sugar
crop in Hawaii in 1921 with compar-
atively low prices prevailing, accord
ing to review prepared by the
Hawaiian Trust company and publish
ed by The Honolulu Star Bulletin. Ac-
cording to this source, Hawaiian
planters will receive an average price
of not more than 6 cents for next
years crop. On the other hand, says
the review, there are indications for
an increased consumption of sugar
next year. The Hawaiian plantations
are represented as being on a sound
financial basis despite the present de-
preston, but some Of them, says the
review, will show little, if any, profit
next season.
The Hawaiian Trust company's re-
port says that the Crockett Refinery
in California, approximately 80 per-
cent of the stock of which is owned in
Hawaii has suffered a loss of several
million dollars this season owing to
inability to dispose of sugar at a price
in keeping with the figure at which
purchases were made. Consequently,
the review points out, while many OF
the Hawaiian planters seemingly nave
made large profits in 1920, their loss
es incident to the situation of Crockett
refinery have reduced income consid-
erably.
The report adds:
I'VE understand that since July IA,
1920. the Hawaiian sugar plantations
under the contracts have shipped to
the Crockett refinery in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 tons of raw sugar. We
understand also that the carry-over on
Dec. 81, as now estimated, will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000 tons"
