PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "A threat to
Smash" the Ku Klux Khan and organ
ize rival Klan Of the North was made
here to-day by F. w. Atkins. formerly
grand goblin of the Atlantic domain,
as the sequel to his ousting and the
ousting Of three other grand goblins
by the organization at Atlanta yester-
day. The others are Lloyd l.. Hooper,
New York domain; II. r. Terrell,
Great Lakes domain, and A. J. Padon,
Northeastern domain.
Their expulsion resulted from their
attempt to have control of the organi-
zation wrested from Edward Young
conduct was attacked in reports regard
ing the Khan
81 want to say candidly that the con-
tinuance of the relationship existing
between Edward Young Clarke and the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and a
continuance Of the relationship existing
between Mrs. Tyler and the Knights
and continuance Of the relationship
between Mrs. Tyler and Mr.. Clarke
while they are connected with the Ku
klux klan, will work irreparable dam
and creed,' said Mr.. Atkins.
"Thc purpose of the Ku Klux Klan
IS The antithesis of the practices al
legged or proved against Edward Y
Charge and Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler.
II want to say that none of us had
any. belief in the charges launched
against the Klan until the accusers
started to attack the character of Mrs
Tyler and Clarke. Then $4,000 mem
bers resigned at Chicago, Including the
grand goblin, and the general exodus
from the organization followed
"None of them can be connected with
the Ku Klux Klan as long as Mrs

Miller Here to
Meet Charter
Board To-day
Newly Appointed Commits
sion to Perfect Organiza-
ton and Outline Work;
Scott Named Chairman
Month to Collect Data
Steps Taken Toward Amend
ments in Mitchell Admin
istration To Be Basis

The newly appointed Charter Re
vision Commission, whose personnel
was announced by Governor Miller
this week. will meet for organization
this morning at 10:30 o'clock at the
Hotel Plaza and listen to an address
by Governor Miller. The Governor
arrived at the Plaza last night and
conferred with various members Of
the commission. Former Justice Fran
els M. Scott is to be the chairman.
1t is understood that Edward j. Nc
Goldrick, formerly justice of the Su-
preme Court, is to be counsel. Mr..
McGoldrick served as assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel and had charge at Al
bany of city bills for decade or more.
1t is expected that. in addition to the
chairman and counsel. the commission
will have a vice chairman, an honorary
and executive secretary, and staff of
stenographers and clerks. The Legis-
lature appropriated $25,000 to begin
the work.
When Mr.. Scott was asked last night
about the scope Of the work contem-
plated he said:
"Probably it will take from now un-
til the end of December to collect the
necessary information and data for
our work The first thing to take ac-
count of is: what the present charter
provides, and what features of it are
desirable and what undesirable. It is
generally believed that various city
departments seriously overlap, involv-
ing waste through duplication of serv-
ice. During the Mitchell administra-
tion work was done toward amending
the charter. 1t should not be difficult
to bring that work, whatever Of it is
desirable, up to date. | talked with
Corporation Counsel O'Brien in Albany
a few days ago about the work we are
to do and he indicated willingness to
assist. l take it that Mayor Hylan
also is friendly toward improving city
admin stration.
II would not be surprised if the
Mayor became satisfied with what we
are to do. The Governor told me that
he had no plans or schemes that he
desired recognized in redrafting the
charter and he made it clear that the
commission will have the entire work
wholly within its own hands,"
Asked about borough autonomy, Mr..
Scott said:
personally l have always regretted
the autonomy features of the borough
governments. l think it prevents a
homogeneous city administration.
have been told, though. that there is a
very strong feeling for the retention
of borough autonomy. We must deal
with the situation as we find it and
dispose Of the problems as we'll as we
can"

the chief engineer, who was seriously
III of an intestinal disorder.
The freighter. which was ahead Of
the Matoika, sent radio telling Of
the mans plight and Captain Bevan on
getting her position, asked the skip
per to reduce his speed until over
hauled. small boat was sent to the
Hegira with DR.. r. B. Henlim, the
Matoika's surgeon, who examined the
patient and brought him to his own
ship strapped to litter.
The surgeon found that the man was
in need of an operation. but made
him comfortable by palliative treat
ment until the Matoika reached Bre-
men. The patient was then removed

cago When He Calls at the
General pOstoffice

Captain John, J. Sullivan, in com.
msnd of detectives at the Poplar Street
police station, Brooklyn, was notified
last night by the Chicago police that
Albert Schneider, one OF five prisoners
who escaped from the Raymond Street
Jail, Brooklyn, October 80, had been
arrested in that city.
Beyond the fact that he was arrested
when he called for mail at the general
pestofficc, the police do not know the
circumstances of his capture. They are
glad to hear that he is under arrest
however, as they believe he can be per-
suaded to tell how the fugtives man
aged to get clean away so promptly
where they got the tools with which
they cut through the roof and whether
they had accomplices.
Schneider was cne of the three local
prisoners who escaped. Their two COM
panions were Federal prisoners
Schneider was receiving treatment ON
Kikcr's Island as drug addict and had
been sent to the Raymond Street Jail
for few days to work as O painter.

for Chicago to-day. Brosnan had is
formation that Schneider was heading
for Chicago and sent his description
and finger prints to the police of that

Bonding Companies
Censured by Court
For Bail Methods
Supplying of Sureties TO AL
legged Criminals Without
investigation Is Called
Menace to Citizenship

Judge Alfred j. Talley, in granting
motion of Assistant District Attorney
Frederick J. Sullivan, in General Ses-
sions, yesterday to increase the bail
of Joseph Keller and Benny Rosner,
indicted for possessiong burglars
tools, from $500 to $4,000, assaied
the practice of bonding firms in sup
plying bail to alleged criminals with
out investigating their records. Such
practice. he said, was violation of the
tenets of good citizenship and he called
on the surety companies to discontinue
supplying bond for such persons with
out court compulsion
The regular grand jury, of which
Charles l.. Robinson is foreman, up
holding the action of the court passed
a resolution deprecating the furnishing
OF bail bonds by surety companies to
professional criminals.
Before granting the motion Of AS
sistant District Attorney Sullivan,
Judge Talley sent for James II. Donald
son, assistant secretary of the New
Amsterdam Casualty Company, which
provided the original bail for Keller
and Rosner
~ aiio 'PPNhA iitts y uuSc d'ley
said: "Mr. Donaldson, the reason the
court sent for you to-day was because
on the pleading calendar these two de-
fandants now at the bar were arraigned
to-day and the District Attorney asked
that their bail be increased want
to say that, as far as this court is able
it will break up the practice of bond
ing companies aiding and abetting in
effect professional criminals to carry
or their criminal occupations and prey
on the decent people Of the county
THE real vice of surety companies
is, that in view of the condition of the
calendars of this court men of this
type, having been bailed by companies
such as yours, are allowed to be at
large for Il year or more before their
case is called for trial. Men Of this
type have no occupation other than that
Of being professional burglars. and
when you bail them out without inquiry
into their previous records you are
simply sending them out into the COM
munity to continue criminal occupa-
tions. ! want you to say to your COM
pany that in my opinion, if they pro-
fess good citizenship, it is up to them,
without any compulsion from this
court, to stop such practice"
Judge Talley then added that the
court would expect all bonding com
panies within thirty days, and without
compulsion, to take action on the
courts suggestion.
