 Won't Comment On Trip.

Atlanta, Ga. July 31.-J O. Wood, editor of the Searchlight semi official organ of the ku klux Klan, who made hurried trip to England sev- eral weeks ago has just returned, re- fuses to make any comment on the press dispatch from London regard ing a reported attempt to form an alliance between the Kan and an English organization. He said his trip abroad had been entirely of a priv ate nature for the klan and that it would be of no interest to the public at present.
 The trip was made, according to re- ports current at the time Wood l$t Atlanta for the purpose of forming some kind of an alliance with the Second One Hundred Thousand, an English order. and with others, with a view to forming a world wide white Protestant organization.

 President Ii also wants parliament to decide his status as president. He said he was willing to retire if parlia- ment elects another man to the posi- tion. In this connection Gen. Tsao Kun and Gen. Wu Pei-Fu have been

LONDON NOT READY FOR SKYSCRAPERS.
American Styles Will Not Be
 Copied Yet Says Council

London, July 31.-The London County Council has made some con sessions to the demand of West End business firms that they be allowed to erect loftier and more commodious stores, but these concessions fall far short of permitting the construction in London of buildings modelled after American sky-scrapers.
 The concession as to height asked for was l2o feet maximum on favor able sites" explained the secretary of the Retail Distributors Association which had been the prime movers in the matter, We have been author ized to put up buildings that are so feet high to the ceilings of the top most floor. and on favorable sites the municipality may permit buildings to be erected that are 100 or even 140 feet high.
 Great Stores Planned. ..
 The London County Council has conceded greater space for depart ments. The old regulations restrict ed cubic capacity to 2o0,oo0 feet. This was imposed because the old fashioned methods of displaying new materials in buildings of a congested nature Increased the risk of fire.
 The concession of a cubic capacity of 500,000 feet which has nov been made, or a limit of 10000 square feet floor space for any one depart ment, will enable us to secure floor space equal to that of any of the magnificent stores in America. with one or two exceptions"
 How far London is from having at tained the sky-scraper stage will be realized when it is understood that the highest building in London is Whitehall Court, the home of the National Liberal club, which is 110I feet high. The highest building in the country is in Liverpool, and is 420 feet high to the top of the tower, but the actual main building is only 21o feet high. The next highest is a steamship company building, also in Liverpool, and is 40 feet high.
