BIG RAIL STRIKE
STILL UNDECIDED
Little Likelihood Of Order For Big
Four Brotherhoods to Quit An
nounced by Sheppard.

Chicago, Oct 49, Little likelihood
Of decision to call strike of rail-
road workers Of the big four brother
hoods was forecast last night by l.. T..
Sheppard, president Of the order of
Railway Conductors After three
days and nights OF meet ngs, the ex-
ecutiYes and general chairmen OF the
conductors, engineers and fremen
were still far from agreement as TO
their action.
III is likely now that there viii be
no announcement made when these
conferences adjourn, Mr. Sheppard
ga d. 'l,aus far we can say nothing,
and it now seems probable that there
VIII be nothing to say
Warren S. Stone, grand chief of
the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gineers. and w s. Carter, head of
the Brotherhood o. s~'emen and En-
ginemen, declared they, too, would
probably have nothing to say even
after the conferences
Yesterday was the busiest of the
week After long sessions of the gen
eral chairmen of each of the three Or
ganizations, the executive committees
of the three brotherhoods interspers-
ed thes schairmen's meetings with sec
ret conferences.
w. G Lee, head of the Brotherhood
OF Railroad Ira 'nmen, the fourth
body of the big four group, arrived
yesterday to await the action of the
remaining trio.
Our men have voted TO strike and
Il will givA them my authorization the
minute the other three say the word.
II is up to Them" MF. Lee said
He added, however, that the was not
expecting strike action and that ne
would net be surprised to see the
conferences end without definite ac-
ton being taken.
T. C Cashen, president of the
Switchmen's Union of North Amer
lea, which also voted to strike, on the
Joint ballot OF the brotherhoods, was
not in Chicago
Railroad officers said there was no
connection between the meeting of
the Association of Railroad Execu-
,tiyes Aere Friday, and the big four
conferences. Reduction of rates would
probably be one of the chief topics OF
discussion, it was said.

NO HOODED H00DLUMS
IN KHAN SAYS SIMMONS
Imperial Wizard Flatiy Denies the
Charges Of LawIessness In His
Organization.

Washington Oct. l3 Sweeping de.
nial OF charges that the Ku Klux Klan
contained within It's ranks lawless
band Of hooded hoodlums was made
before House committee yesterday
by Williams J. Simmons Of Atlanta,
its founder and imperial wizard.
Turning squarely upon members
who had listened intently for nearly
two hours to dramatic defense OF
the organization Mr. Simmons de.
clared that standing here in the
presence of GOd.T he wanted the
world to know that If one thousandth
part OF the charges were true, he
would forthwith cali together the
grand conciium of the khan for the
purnose Of forever disbanding il in
every section of the United States
Called late in the day after mum
ber of negro witnesses from Boston
and Chicago had urged a congression-
al inquiry Of the Klan, the imperial
wizard first asking to be sworn, told
the committee the Khan welcomed the
investigation, but protested against
attacks in some Of the pending
House resolutions.
The wizard was permitted to read
his statement without Interruption
There is no room in our organiza-
tion for those who take the law into
their own hands" he declared, bang
ing the table. "We have been charged
wiCl everything from the wave OF
high prices to the sweeping march

ed that our primary aim was intl,
nidation of the negro in the South.
But II might surprise thi1' commStee
to know that the Ku Klux Khan has
been greater in the Nortl and the
East than in the South
Asserting that the Khan could not
do anything outside of its lodge
room except by specific orders of
its imperial wizard, so as to hold its
membership in line, MIR. Simmons ad-
ded
Before God have never signed
any instructions that could be
construed or carried as viola

tolerate or teach lawlessness, in

Sherlock Holmese was a man who
seldom took exercise for exercises
sake. Few men were capable of
greater muscular effort, and he was
undoubtedly one Of the finest boxers
OF his weight that | have ever seen;
but he looked upon aimless bodily ex-
eruon as waste of energy, and he
seldom bestirred himself save where
there was some professional object to
De served. Then he was absolutely
untiring and interchangeable That he
should have kept himself in training
under such circumstances is remark
able, but his diet was usually of the
sparest, and his habits were simple to
the verge of austerity. Save for the
occasional use of cocaine, he had no
wees, and he only turned to the drug
as a protest against the monotony of
existence when cases were scanty and
the papers uninteresting.
one day in early spring he had so
lar relaxed as to go for a walk with
me IN the park, where the first faint
shoots of green were breaking out up
on the elms. and the sticky spear
heads of the chestnuts were just be-
ginning to burst into their five-fold
leaves. For two hours we rambled
about together, in silence for the most
part, as BELTS two men who know
each other intimately. 1t was nearly

Maui Streams may be
Stocked with Trout

Mauiites may enjoy trout fishing in
the not too remote future. H. L..
Kelley, executive officer of the fish
and game commission is now on the
Island investigating possibilities for
stocking of streams with trout fry,
determining the extent of experiment
tation in different streams and looking
into other subjects of interest to his
commission.
Soon after his arrival Mr.. Kelley
was told by II. B. Penhallow and F,
f. Baldwin that they regarded Wal
hee stream as perhaps best suited
for trout. He investigated and says
that while the temperature of the
water, Ga degrees, may be too warm
he considers it worth while to make
an experiment with 1000 or 1000 fry,
The fact that the water is well aeriat-
ed is in favor of success and the up
per waters are likely to be cooler He
found some fine pools in the stream,
Today Mr.. Kelley was to go up
Olinda and from there go to another
stream and look into possibilities. AT
ter leaving Maui he will go to Molo'
kai to make some investigations re-
lative to mullet,
