KU KLUX CHARTERS
Col. Simmons Tells of Efforts to
 Discredit Organization

Atlanta, August 3-(Special.)- Col. William Joseph Simmons, im- perial wizard of the Knights of the hu Kluk Klan. has just issued the following statement:
 My attention has been called to the fact that in recent statements issued by me regarding lawlessness that l was slightly misquoted by the press, and I desire to make correc- ton. am quoted as saying that in case lawless acts are proven that I will revoke the charter of all klans against which such acts are proven and banish all members and give the names of the members of the local CT ganization to the officers of the law
 What I actually did say was that if lawless acts were proven against any local klan of this organization, and they were committed with the knowledge and consent of the of ficers of same, that the charter would be suspended or revoked pending complete investigation, and that if tkis investigation developed the fact that members of this organization were guilty of lawless conduct. and this conduct was sufficiently serious to so justify, I would furnish the off ficers of the law with the names violates his oath to the organization, tion who had been guilty of lawless conduct. It would manifestly be un- just and unfair for me to give the names of innocent members of the organization to the public if they were innocent of any crime. Any member who commits lawlessness violates his oats to the organization, and the members of this organiza- ton know that fact without my tell ing them so. The klansmen who live up to their oath will certainly not be subjected to any embarrassment by me. but those guilty of misconduct need not expect me to protect them
 in same.
 If charters are revoked at any place they will not be restored until after I am given sufficient assur- ance that all members will live up to the rules and regulations of the or ganization, and if they do so no law less conduct of any kind will re- suit. I am convinced that there IS an element at work in Florida, Texas' Alabama and Oklahoma committing acts in the name of the ku hiux Klan in an effort to discredit the or ganization."

LINE CARRYING RoUY

A bouy, capable or carrying line for considerable distance from ship, was successfully tested recent ly, off Rockaway. N. Y., says the Popular Mechanics magazine In an illustrated article. The buoy is in the form of a floating water tight cylinder, in which Is mounted a reel wound with a long line, that passes from the buoy and remains connected to the ship. When 1t drifts from the ship this line Is unwound, and there Is a permanent connection between the buoy and the ship. A line carry ing buoy of this description has many
