MORE POWER FOR ULSTER.
Right to Negotiate Direct With
Dublin Believed Won
By the Associated Press.

BELFAST. November 2J.-lt is un-
derstood here that as an outcome of
negotiations at London this week GER
tain powers reserved to the council
Of Ireland by the 1920 act have been
transferred from the imperial gov
eminent to the Ulster government.
This would mean that the Ulster
government could negotiate direct
with Dublin. which received these
powers under the treaty. on any
points. such as railroads and fisheries
affecting both territories.
Regarding finance. it is learned
that the British government will ap-
point a commission of three, and the
Ulster ministry will appoint a like
number. to settle all questions relat-
ing to ALLEGATION of customs. income
tax and other revenues. the decision
of this joint committee to be acted
on by a joint exchequer board.
If it is necessary to erect customs
posts along the Ulster border: through
the creation of the Free State. the
costs of these. which may number
twenty. will be betrayed from Lon
don.
Appeals from the Ulster appeal
court will go direct to the public
lords 1t is learned further that
Belfast will paw $4,000 toward the
upkeep of the Ulster governor. This
amount is paid at the present time
as listers share in maintaining the
Irish viceroyalty. Ulster will have
control of territorial waters, a point
on which the 1920 act was silent, and
will pay for the upkeep of the Ulster
constabulary.
All the preliminary steps already
have been taken by the two houses
of the Ulster legislature to CON
tract out" of the IRISH Free State. a
step announced by Premier Craig

SEEKS BURNS AID
IN FIGHT ON K. K. K.

Representative John W. Raney.
who introduced in the House yester-
day a joint resolution calling for an
Investigation of reports of the hold
ing of limitations and ceremonies Of
the Ku Klux Klan in the United
States Capitol. the State War and
Navy buildings and other government
buildings in Washington. followed
this up today by an appointment with
William j. Burns. chief of the bureau
of investigation of the Department
of Justice.
Representative Rainey said that he
would request Mr.. Burns to furnish
may have regarding the use by the
ku Klux Klan of the. Capitol and
other buildings with any additional
information Mr.. Burns may secure re-
garding the activities of the ku kiux
Khan in Washington Or any other
city in the United States.
The time has come, said Mr.
Raincy, for public officials to uphold
their oaths of Office and to tear the
masks from the faces and expose to
the public those who are seeking to
usurp the authority Of our govern
ment and by their violations of our
laws under guise of a fraternal Or
ganization are becoming a disgrace
To God. to the nation and our home.
Plank in 1855 Platform.
Representative Rainey pointed out
that when like condition arose in this
country many years ago. the democratic
party arose to the situation and embod
led in its platform Of 1856 the plank
upon which James Buchanan of Pennsyl-
vania was elected President of the
United States. The plank referred to.
was that denouncing the So-called know
nothing party.
The plank referred to states
That the foundation Of this union
of states having been laid in. and its
prosperity expansion and pre-eminent
example in free government built upon.
entire freedom in matters of religious
concernnent. and no respect of persons
in regard to rank or place of birth. no
party can justly be deemed national.
constitutional. or in accordance with
American principles which ba SeS its eX
elusive organization upon religious
opinions ard accidental birthplace. And
hence. political crusade of the nine
teenth century and in the United States
of America against Catholic and foreign
born is neither justified by the past
history or the future prospects of the
country nor IN unison Win tne spirit OF
liberation and enlarged freedom which
peculiarly distinguishes the American
system of popular government"
Representative Rainey said today:
Apparently the time has come again
when there is to be division between
those who would haul down the Stars
and Stripes and hoist in its place the
flsning cross of the ku kluxism over
the Capitol Of our country. l for one
am ready to take my stand for the Con-
stitution and laws of the United States
for law and order against narrow
mindedness. prejudice, dishonor and
anarchy.
