to no more than two to three weeks

Five Bullets Fired Thru Win

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 12.-Several steel
jacketed bullets and a trail of foot
steps that ended at the road, were all
county police had to start on today in
their inquiry into what they character
ize as an evident attempt last night to
assassinate Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, head
of the woman's department of the

Five shots were fired into the bed
room window of Mrs. Tyler's home
here, she reported to police headquar-
ters, and while the window glass was
smashed, the bullets whizzed over her
head as she leaned over the bed of her
daughter, Miss Doris Tyler, who was
i'll. The bullets were found embedded
in the walls.
A mysterious telephone call was re-
ceived by the Atlanta Constitution
a mans voice said: Il just want to
say that we got Mrs. Tyler tonight, and
we will get Colonel Simmons tomor-

ILLNESS HALTS TESTIMONY

Washington, Oct. 12.-General de-
nial of charges of lawlessness brought
against ting Ku Klux Klan by members
of congress and others, was made be-
fore the house rules committee today
by William J. Simmons. of Atlanta,
Ga, imperial wizard of the order.
Is Patriotic Order.
Simmons declared the Ku KIux Klan
was a patriotic, fraternal and chari-
table, organization which encouraged
100 per cent Americanism'' and de-
MED any order had been issued by the
khan which contemplated the viola
ton of any law.
1t developed that Simmons was the
founder of the new khan, the framer
of it's constitution and the supreme
head of the organization for life.
Representative Gallivan, of Massa-
chusetts, appealed to the rules com
mittee to act favorabIy on his resolu-
ton calling for information as to what
members of congress were members of
the khan.
Negro Witness Heard.
Before calling Simmons to the wit
ness stand, the house rules committee
heard representatives of negro organ
izations today lin support of resolu-
tions providing for a congressional in
vestigation of the order. 1t was ex-
pected that Mr.. Simmons would be put
on the stand during the day.
William Monroe Trotter of Boston,
testifying for the national equal rights
league, declared the khan was a private
unofficial organization which inter
feres with personal liberties of peo-
pies most of whom are outside of its
membership.
THE method of coercion" Trotter
said, sis shown by the sending of
threatening letters to persons to cease
doing certain things" and by the use
of the hooded gown, he characterized
the khan as "a real menace to the
sense of personal security of millions
of citizens"
Negroes Made Homeless.
Trotter said he believed the khan
Illegal
''When our president is attempting
to lead the world thru disarmament" :"
he said this country cannot afford
to have this notorious order in its do
main when it is based on the suppress
sion of one religion or one race of peo-
pie 1.-The Rev. S. E. J. Watson, a negro,
preacher, of Chicago, told the COM
mittee the Ku KIux was proving a
hindrance to the progress of the ne
gro by breaking down his morale thru
fear and terror.
Many negroes have been driven
from humble homes held since slav-
ery,'' Watson declared. 1.-The claim
of the KIan that the negro is seeking
social equality is unwarranted."
Imperial Wizard Ill.
Colonel Simmons was seized with
an attack OF nausea today in the meet
ing of the committee. Because of the
illness which seized the Klan leader,
the committee was forced to defer ex-
animation of him and his statement
of the purposes of the organization.
