THAT Clarke and Mrs. Tyler have
turned the klan into an instrument
for the dissemination and prOpaga-
tion Of hatred and prejudice.
Charges Are Denied.
Imperial Wizard Simmons officially
denies these charges.
He says:
1T is a desperate attempt on the
part of disgruntled and discharged
employees, joined by their small fol-
lowing, to gain control Of the organ
igation.
THE attack ON Clarke is merely a
sreiteration of charges previously
made which have been investigated
and found to be unjust and untrue"
Judge John I. Pendleton has grant
ed temporary injunction restraining
the khan from disposing Of any of it's
property or disbufsing money except
sor ordinary expenses, not including
salaries.
This later was modified to allow
payment of salaries to clerks, stenog-
ranhers and Office employees.
But salaries of officials cannot be
paid

OF warfare, was outlawed today
by Great Britain, Japan, France,
Italy and the United States who,
through their representatives in
the Washington conference, ap-
proved the American plan to pro-

After the adoption of the anti

committee took up the report of
its subcommittee on aircraft

sion on that matter. The air.
craft discussion will be continued
Monday.
On the question of aircrafts
the sub-committe reported that
it was deemed impossible to limit

ANXIETY PREVAILS.

Dublin, Jan. 7.-4(By the Associated
Press)-Acute suspense and anxiety
over the chances for peace prevailed
in Ireland today as the result OF
Eamonn DeValera's unexpected ac-
ton yesterday in resigning as presi-
dent of the Irish Republic.
Few among the Irish people are
willing to doubt the sincerity of his
action but the general regard for him
does not prevent many expressions
of regret at his course. In the view
of supporters of the peace treaty his
action has seriously imperilled the
chances for peace.
1t is the opinion of several men,
bers that a vote on the treaty will be
taken before Z o'clock tonight Alarm
is expressed in some quarters lest the
waverers in the Dali will now be
drawn to Mr.. DeValeras side and the
treaty defeated.

STATE HIGHWAY
BODY TAKES UP
BRIDGE MATTER
Signs Contract For Construction
Of Underpass Between City
and the Bridge
MEMORIAL NAME PROPOSED
Com. Kitchen Introduces ResOlu-
tion to Name Bridge N. d.
Memorial Bridge

Steps were taken by the state high
way commission, in meeting late yes
terday, toward the completion of work
in connection with the new Missouri
river yehicular bridge here.
A contract beween the Northern Pa.
citic railroad company, Burleigh cpun
ty and the state high commission was
formally signed in the meeting, pro.
viding for the construction Of an un-
derpass of the Northern Pacific rail
road between Bismarck and the new
bridge. Under! the agreement the rail
road is to pay one-haf the2cost Of con-
structing the underpass and Burleigh
county is to pay one-half, with Bur
leigh county expecting that the pro-
ject will be- made a federal aid pre-
ject and that most of the funds for the
county's share will be obtained from
the government and~th state highway
commission, it was stated.
It was stated at the meeting that the
railroad had drawn the contract, had
ordered some material needed for the
underpass and was prepared to begin
work soon. !
Commissioner Of Agriculture and
Labor Kitchen introduced resolu-
tion proposing that the bridge be nam
ed the North Dakota Memorial bridge.
This name was first proposed in the
American Legion here and the pro-
posal by the American Legion state
convention in jamestown.
The commission decided to meet
again next Friday, inviting the mem
bers of the boards of county commits
sioners to meet with the commission
to arrange definitely for filling in the
approach on the western, ,fside Of the
river. An agreement was made April
13, 1920, for constructing an earthen
approach leading to the concrete ap-
proach to the bridge. proper, but
nothing has been done along this line
and there has been objection raised
by Morton county to the proposed
plan.
No Action on Road Work.
No action is expected to be taken by
the state highway commission in the
near future regarding the expansion
or curtailment of roal building pro-
jects in the state this year. The view
is understood to have been expressed
in the commission meeting that since
all projects have their inception with
the counties the initiative must come
from the counties. Governor Nestos
in a letter sent to county auditors
this week. brought the matter of cur
tailment of road work before the
comfy boards for discussion and con-
sideration.

project, with gravel at points where
most needed The total length of the
road is 20 miles, Is miles Of which
was completed this year, giving En-.
mons county what is claimed to be
the be,st long stretch of highway in
the state. The first 16 miles of road
cost the county. which pays half the
cost, about $1,74O mile and the lat
ter l3 miles about $4,000 mile. Much
filing and cutting was necessary in
the work. @
Mr.. Tong is working On survey and
design for ten miles OF road from Lin.
ton to Strasburg. which is expected
20 be built next year. The present
program Of the county calls for this
project and 10 additional miles, with

council planned to begin cOnsidera.

reparations today in an atmosphere
somewhat cleared by yesterdays de-
cision to get together with Russia and
Germany in an international financial
end economic conference.
The Belgian delegation has announc.
ed that it will insist on Belgium's pri-
ority to two billion five hundred mil
lion gold marks of the German repair
alton. This is regarded as an i'm
portant obstacle to the British plan,
which the French are disposed to ac.
cept in part.
Both the Belgians and the French
are opposed to a moratorium for Ger
many, but the French are Inclined to
agree to reduction in the cash pay
ments provided the difference is made
up by deliveries Of reparations in kind.
The British stick to their proposal to
reduce the total payments this year
from two billion gold marks to five
hundred million marks on condition
that materials be delivered to the
value Of two million gold marks.
