"Wink and Nod That
Turns Trick"

Washington. Sept. 20.-The depart
ment of justice is considering
whether federal action shall be taken
in connection with the activities of
the Ku Klux Khan. Attorney GEN.
eral Daugherty said today.
Mr.. Daugherty said he would con-
fer tomorrow with Director Burns of
the bureau of investigation. who has
been directed to look into the inves-
tigation, and if the facts warranted
would seek a grand jury investiga-
ton of the Ku Klux Khan in some
district and urge indictment against
any members where justified.
The attorney general discussed the
matter today with United States Dis
trict Attorney Hayward OF New
York and several of the assistant
attorneys general, but said that no
conclusion as to whether the federal
government should take part in the
Ku Klux Khan question had been
reached.
Any federal action against the
Khan, Mr.. Daugherty said, would
probably be under some statute COW
ering conspiracy but the legal prob
lem involved, he added, was some
what complex. On its face. he ex-
planned. the literature of the Ku Kfux
Khan was not in violation Of the law.
What was to be determined, he ex-
planned. was what went on behind
the scenes-"the wink and the
nod that turns the tcick."
The government Mr.. Daugherty
said, is not to be run or inundated
by any man or organization behind
n mask.
The activities of the Ku Klux Khan,
he added, would be given the most
careful consideration before any fed
eral policy was decided upon.

NATIONS TRIBUTE
TO SOLDIER DEAD
ON ARMISTICE DAY

Washington. Sept 2o.-A solemn
ceremonial to voice at once the ma
tons gratitude to the soldier dead
and its hope of deliverance from the
burden of heavy ornaments will be
observed from coast to coast on Arm
istice Day under the leadership of
President Harding and officials of his
administration.
In honor of the occasion the first
meeting Of the armament conference,
called for that day, ys to be confined
to the briefest formalities. leaving the
delegates of all the participating ma
tons free to join. with the president
in the central ceremony at Arlington
National cemetery. On the next day,
November II, the real work of the
conference will begin.
Plans for the two-fold observance
have not yet taken detailed form. but
they are expected to include a nation
wide demonstra ton for the limitation
of armament by organized labor, pray
err services in many churches special
and ceremonies of various forms by
civic, industrial and political bodies
generally. 1t is probable that pres
idential proclamation will set the day
aside as a national holiday.
At the Arlington ceremonies thc
president will make the principal adj
dress and General Pershing will Law
a wreath on the grave of the unknown
soldier to be buried there. Ceremo-
mics of a similar nature will be held
throughout the country while the
wheels of government and of industry
are quieted
BY such an observance, officials are
said to believe they can preclude the
possibility that the tribute to the SOL
der dead will be overshadowed in the
public mind by the. meeting of the
conference. and at the same time give
the nation an opportunity to speak in
unmistakable terms the sentiments
for armament reduction.
In his Arlington address Mr.. Hard
ing is expected to touch on this con-
viction. although any definite deelara-
ton Of the purposes and hopes of the
armament negotiations will be rescrv-
cd for the following day when he will
officially welcome the delegates to the
United States and set in motion the
machinery of the conference.
