100 NEOPHYTES 70 BOW
TO KLAN'S FIERY CROSS
Over 500 Members Expected to
Take Part in Second Of Local
Outdoor Ceremonials.

The Ku Klux Klan will hold large
open-air ceremonial this week. wi.h
the prospect of an attendance of 500
local klansmen. Initiation Of at least
100 candidates is expected to be held.
This statement was given out at the
local h adn"arters yesterday.
Information was not disclosed as to
the time or place Of the scheduled
meeting. s. f. Poipdexter in char~-
Of the District organization. who
made the above statement, declared
that the klan's growth in this city
had made possible various activities
of the organization, which. he stated
UP to this time had been in somewhat
OF dormant state.
"Our little ceremonial in Rock
Creek Park recently" Mr.. Poindexter
said, was only asforerunner of some
of the klan's activities, and try
out or rehearsal"
For the benefit of some who still
look upon the organization with
suspicion and mistrust- / will say
that all of our activities will be
strictly in accordance with uphold
ing of the law. I think that no one
can say that we have committed
anything that might be construed as
a violation of the law since the
organization made its appearance in
Washington.
whereabouts of our ceremonials; that
is, before they take place. The
reason is obvious. Our organization
IS built upon secrecy and only those
honored with the allegiance to this
order have the right to know. After
the ceremony Is over We Will be glad
to state where we met"

Would Supplement Present
Transportation Act.

The railroad committee of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, which has just concluded a
meeting here. Is of the opinion that
the transportation act of 1920 can be
left untouched and at the same time
there can be worked out construc-
tive Plan which will help solve the
railroad problem.
The whole railroad situation and
what should be done about it from a
business standpoint will be consid-
cred at a meeting of the national
council of the chamber to be held
here February s and 8.
Some business men who have fol-
lowed closely the railroad situation
since the roads were turned back to
private control see a drift toward
government ownership and operation.
unless there can be worked out some
plan by which the roads can be put
on self-supporting basis. says a
statement from the chamber. They
feel that the transportation act
should be given a longer trial. AS
yet. in their opinion. such an increase
