WIZARD LEAVES
SCENE OF STRIFE;
Ku Klux Head OFF "For Health"
With KIeagle Clarke In
Charge Of klan

ATLANTA, Dec. S.-The knights
Of the Ku Klux Klan" organization,
which short time ago was the sub
iect of some Congressional contro-
versy and considerable public noto-
riety throughout the country, IS
again en,broiled in turmoil of dis
order. this time among its own
officials.
As a folIow-up to the developments
of Thursday, when Imperial Kleagle
Z. Y. Clarke instituted trover pro-
ceedings against Grand Goblin Har-
ry B. Terrell, of the Great Lakes
Domain of the Klan, to obtain posses
sion of $4,000 worth of property,
and counter sensational declarations
filed by Terrell and three other grand
COLLINS against Clarke, the imperial
kIeagle himself has now issued
statement that the whole thing is a
part of a million-dollar deal being
further by somebody to injure him
and get him out of the order. Incl
dentally, Clarke charges in his state
ment, Imperial Wizard Simmons has
been offered a cash donation of
$4,000 if he will fire Clarke, which
he has, Clarke says, refused to do.
The only reason, says Clarke, that
the bribe was not offered to him is
because his enemies know they can
not buy him at any price.
The charges made against Clarke,
and which were presented to the
grand kloncilium" of the order, are
signed by Terrell, f. w. Atkin, grand
goblin of the Atlantic domain, Lloyd
z. Hooper, grand goblin of the New
York domain, and A. J. Padon, Jr.,
grand goblin of the New England
domain. After the grand kloncilium
had considered the matter, according
to statement from Simmons as well
as from Clarke, the charges were all
set aside. Simmons in the meantime
had told the central body if the
charges were sustained either he or
Clarke would have to get out of the
order.
Now comes the statement that
numerous klans over the country are
IN revolt and demanGia@ e1e removal
OF Clarke and his associates in the
department Of propagation. Efforts
made to get in communication with
Colonel Simmons, head of the order,
brought the information that he left
Tor Asheville, N. c., for his health.
and will not be back until after
Christmas. In the meantime, it is
understood, the directions of affairs
are In the hands of Clarke, who has
summarily dismissed the grand COB
ms OF four of the orders seven "do-
malns," and who declares he will
clean them all out who are disloyal
to his department..

Results of Private Conference
Among "Big Three Under
Study Today

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (By Asso-
ciated Pressy sy.-Negotist lions in the
naval ratio quetsion wsre practically
at standstill today while the Ja-
panese delegates awaited further
word from Toxic. Today the re-
suits of yesterdays conference be-
tween the "big three" were under
study by the japanese cabinet and
the diplomatic advisory council. All
indications were that whatever had
been proposed, it did not involve any
abandonment of the 5-5-3 ratio pro
posed by the United States and sup
ported by Great Britain, but rather
that it concerned other considerations
which the Japanese regard as neces-
sary to them. Chief among these is
understood to be the question of
further fortifcation of American
bases in the Pacific, which the Jap
anese wish to see checked.
