Causes Revolt i'm Ranks
Of Those Opposed.

(By Associated Press. )-That the
Texas republican party will Join
in the movement started here last
night by anti-KuKlux Khan mem
bers of the democratic convention
to organize Texas anti-klan po-
litical party, was declared by r.
b. Creager, republican state chair
man, in statement here today.
Plans for the organization OF
the Texas anti-Ku Klux Khan po-
litical party, combining anit-klan
democratic and republican forces,
were considered at a conference
today between r. d. Lindsey, for
mer mayor of Dallas and r.. B.

date for United States senator was
the chief consideration of the con-
ferende, it is understood. The

Rejected Denunoiation.
By a decisive vote OF 691 to 1876
the Texas democratic state con-
venfion last night rejected minor
lty reports openly denouncing the
Ku Klux Klan and its activities.
The convention went into an up
road when an attempt was made
to discuss the anti-klan proposal
and a motion to table the report
followed Immediately. An attempt
to present resolutions to the con-
vention from the floor opposing
the khan in milder language than
the minority report was unsuc-
cessful and Immediately following
rejection of the khan plank" the
majority report was adopted.
Platform Silent.
The platform ADOPTED Gmptains
no declaration on the khan. The
only provision in this direction de-
clares in favor OF freedom OF con-
science and the separation Of
church and state. With the ex-
ception Of minor changes, the
platform was adopted by the con-
vention as approved by the reso-
luton committee. Chief among
the provisions of the document
are: Declaration for a constitu-
tional convention, declaration that
the democratic party is a white
mans party" and opposition to-

Hunting Licenses
Have So Far Been
in Little Demand

An unusually small number of
hunting licenses have bee nissued by
Miss Erma Wylie, acting deputy in
the office of the county judge during
the enforced absence of the regular
deputy, Miss Sarah L. Mabry, who
was recently called away on account
of illness.
The first license of the season was
issued on Tuesday, October 10, and
the total to date aggregates but
twenty-three under the resident
heading, while two nonresident IL
censes have issued.
1t is anticipated at the courthouse
that the number of applications be-
fore the opening of the hunting sea-

Activity of Armed Forces
Is Augmented by
Reunions
REPORlS ARE DIVERGENT
Despite the Treaty Irish
Question Is Considered
Unsettled
fBy Associated PreasI

Dublin, Nov. 14.-The continuance
of activity of armed forces opposing
the Irish government is attributed to
reunion of the political and military
wings Of republicanism. This, among
other things, resulted in the reap
Ipointment fo Eamon de Valera as
president of the Irish republic" with
a council of state claiming sole legit-
innate authority in Ireland.
There is a wide divergence be-
tween the accounts published by the
government of it's successes aginst
the irregulars and those put out by
De Valera's party. The government
claims to be winning and gradually
restoring order while De Valera's
followers record severe losses they
are inflicting and assert that the free
state is already beaten.
The intensification of ACTIVITY by
the irregulars is supposed to be par
TALLY aimed to the British the
thought that the Irish question re-
mains unsettled despite the treaty.
Greater Activities Feared.
When the new British parliament
assemblies and the constitution d. the
free state is submitted for ratifica-
ton, it is anticipated that the activi-
ties Of the irregulars will be further
intensified.
Except in the south, all large bod
les of republican forces have been
but small bands are able to
inflict constant losses and humilia-
tion upon the government. Repres-
sive power has been granted to the
by the Irish parliament,
but the republicans have never be-
lieved these powers would be fully
exercised, and so far their forecasts
have been for the most part, accu-
rate. The free state government has

NJ a tr imonial Agencies
Are Being Hunted for
Evidence
TEN MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Women Held Without
Bail Arraigned on
Murder Charges
(RY AaaOciated Preaal

Chicago, Nov. Ia Matrimonial
agencies and undertaking estblish-
ments were fields of investigation
today in the alleged poison plot of
Mrs. Tillie Klimek and her cousin,
Mrs. Nellie Koulik.
The women were arraigned on
murder charges yesterday, but the
preliminary hearing was postponed
ten days while the police and coro-
ner's office continued Investigations.
According to the authorities there
have been ten mysterious deaths or
cases of illness from poison among
former husbands, relatives or friends
of Mrs. Klimek, while Mrs. Koulik is
held as suspect in five alleged poi
sonings.
Detectives turned to matrimonial
agencies and undertakers' parlors
when they were unable to trace the
life of Mrs. Klimek during a certain
period which, the police say, she was
known as Mrs. Meyers.
The search of records was started
in an effort to learn if there was a
Mr.. Meyers.
Meantime a third woman question
ed in connection with the investiga-
ton was released. he was Mrs. Cor
nelia Kozal, a sister of Mrs. Koulik.
Mrs. Kozal was brought into the
inquiry On complaint of her son-in-
law, Mix Milky, who said he had
been urged by his motherin-law to
take out life insurance on which Mrs
Kozal paid the premiums. A short
time after the premiums were paid,
Milky said he drank at Mrs. KozaPs
home and since "has not felt we'll"
While the police delved into the
lives of the two women held as al
legged poisoners coroners physicians
were analyzing organs of two form
er husbands and a cousin of Mrs.
Klimek and permits were issued to
exhume three more bodies, those of
two children and a grand child of
Mrs. Koulik.
Mrs. Klimek and Mrs. Koulik were
held without bail.

PALATkA'S DREAM
OF DEEP WATER
is UP TO PEOPLE
Senator Fletcher Tells
Rotarians How Work
Is Done
SCORE HIGH TARIFFS
Urges Cooperation for
Better Roads Every
where in State

By cooperation, determination and
industry Palatka can win deeper wa
ter for the st. Johns river from the
Jacksonville bar Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher intimated to the Rotary
Club today in speaking of proposed
surveys and improvements. The
Senator also took occasion to speak
pertinently on some proposed legis-
Iation at the frthcoming special ses-
sion and to pass his respects to some
of the legislation passed b ythe re-
cent Republican congress.
A number of guests were present
to hear the Senator, who remarked in
opening that congress had been SO
busy and in such continuous session
that it was only through such meet
ings as this one, to which he was
specially bidden, was it possible for
him to greet his friends and mingle
with them.
After commenting on the great
good that is being accomplished in
the country by Rotary and similar
organizations, he reviewed the vicis-
STUDIES of the farm loan act, which
was delayed so long by the attacks
in the courts of the high rate money
lenders of the west, and showed that
this organization is now functioning
and that some of the objections which
had been raised when it was pro-
posed had been proven groundless,
principally that of the sale of bonds
at 5 per cent, with which to finance
the proposals. These bonds have been
sold within two hours after they were
offered, the senator said, and the last
quota was only at four and half per
cent, and brought premium.
Commerce a Nations Need
Senator Fletcher said that he is
now, as he has always been, deeply
in commerce and especially
in coastwise and inland waterways,
which ar carrying the bulk of ship
ping of this country, foreign exports
having fallen off while the coastwise
and inland waterway shipping is in
Senator Fletcher did not speak di-
rectly on the projects that have long
been a dream in Palatka, but ex-l
planned that congress has not car
ried out any new projects since the
great war started, but is now en-
gagged in making appropriations for
projects already authorized. This |
includes the thirteen feet of water
from Jacksonville to Palatka. He |
suggested that if Palatka wanted |
further approval of the proposed pro-
ject of twenty feet of water from
TO Palatka, and thence
to Sanford that it was up to the peo-
pie of this community, and Sanford,
to show the proper spirit of coopera- +
5ion, to furnish the surveying engi-
neers with the proper information as
to commerce possibilities and to pre-
pare to utilize the deep water after
i is once secured.
He spoke of the iniquities of the
nigh tariff already passed, of the
ship subsidy and proudly
,oasted of his membership in the ag-
'icultural bloc of the senate. In con-
,luding the Senator paid a glowing
ribute to the progress of the state
md to the growth and progressive
cess of Palatla, which, he said, inn
pressed those who saw it at long in
,ervals more than it could those who
reside here the year round.

Battle Is Complicated, As
Great Many Parties
in Field
ESTIMATES CONFLICTING
Forecasters Are Puzzled
. Because of the Recent
Deflections
IRY Assncinted Prenal

London, Nov. 14-The last words
in Great Britain's election campaign
will be spoken tonight. The electo-
rate will go to the polls tomorrow
and pick a parliament from the
1886 candidates seeking seats in the
house of commons.
In 373 constituencies, the fight will
be duel between candidates of two
parties. In 242 other constituencies
the battle is complicated by the pre-
sence of three or more contestants.
Even the wisest political seers are
uncertain as to what the general re-
suit will be. Some newspapers pub-
lish estimates of how they believe
the various parties will rank when
the voters have had their say, but
not one of forecasters express great
confidence in their claims. To the
unbiased onlooker, none has much
value, as every calculation is tinted
with the political views OF the man
making the estimate.
During the campaign, events have
led to revision of some of the more
sanguine estimates. This was nota-
bly, the case in GLASGOW and Western
Scotland where the United front pre-
sented by the unionists and Lloyd
George liberals originally induced
considerable complacency. Put now,
a Glasgow dispatch to the Times
says the greatest concern is felt ov-
er seats which were regarded as safe
a fortnight ago.
Labor Element Hopeful
Labor is making on Clyde its
most concentrated efforts and is
pressing the attack with increasing
confidence" the Dispatch reported.
There is a general feeling that if
the cooperating parties escaped with
forfeiture of only six seats. they
will have done well, municipal polls
at Glasgow, unlike those throughout
England, showed a significant
growth of labor strength, and these
results are responsible for the at
tack Oh nerves from which labor's
opponents are suffering"
Although some doubts nave been
expressed regarding Bonar Laws
safety in his campaign for election
from the central Glasgow district,
the correspondent says nobody ser
iously believes the premier will be
rejected. But, it is certain that his
two opponents-Sir George Paish,
liberal candidate and the laborite,
Pailie Mitchell, will poll more votes
than it was first expected.
Horne Considered Safe
Sir Robert Horne, who was chan
cellor of the eXchequer in Lloyd
Georges cabneit, is regarded as an
almost sure choice of the voters in .
the Hillhead division of Glasgow,
but Sir William Mitchell Thompson
is less safe in the Maryhill division,
where Annie S. Swan is making
powerful appeal for the vote of the
women with liberal interests. Labor
also has shown increasing strength
against the relation of Sir William.
The situation throughout the popu-
lace Lanarkshire is much the same,
to the correspondent, who
believes that only unusual energy
can defeat the laborites in several
places.
Everywhere khe great puzzle is
the organizers is how
women will vote. 1t is the exper-
ience of canvassers throughout the
country that women are now taking
