KU KLUX KHAN IN
 CHURCH SERVICES
Three White -Robed Figures Enter Huntington Edifice, Make An nouncements and Warnings,
 Leave Currency and Depart.

Huntington, Ark, March 6.--En- trance of three persons clothed in flowing white robes lent an air ot mystery to the regular Sunday even ing service at the local Methodist church Sunday night, and added a feature to the program that was en- tirely unexpected. The pastor, Rev, John T. Gossett, had just completed his sermon and the congregation was about to sing, when suddenly three men, wearing the robes attributed to the Ku Klux Klan, appeared at the door and silently made their way to the altar, where permission was asked to say few words. The request was granted.
 It was just 8 o'clock when the leader faced the congregation and be- gan with the assertion that he had a double message for the people of Huntington; one for the law abiding and one for the other class. He stat ed as his address was of a patriotic nature it was only fitting that a pa triotic song should be rendered and the congregation sang America"
 Following his announcement that he was going to call few names, the robed person did call names and end ed by advising a certain high official of the city to prove his right to serve in office by producing naturalization papers as an American citizen within 15 days or resign from office. Certain peace officers were also advised to get busy and clean up the town. He further stated that there was a man in the city who had wife and child in Texas, and he was advised to eith- CT go to his wife or else send for her. Then all were asked to kneel in prayer, and the speaker offered pray CT.
 The trio asked the minister if he would accept a donation from them, and they tendered him a bank note. At the conclusion of the prayer by the leader of the masked trio, they took their departure after requesting that they not be followed As they took leave, an elderly woman in the congregation exclaimed q call this Glory"
 The robbed figures silently made their way to an auto standing out side the building, guarded by an- other person, and entering the ma chine, were whisked away into the night.

ENGLAND GIVES
 EGYPT FREEDOM
British Protectorate Over Land of Pharaohs Ends, Lloyd George Am nounces-Will Work Out Own
 Destiny With Britain's Help.

London, March 1.-Prime Minister Lloyd George announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that tho British protectorate over Egypt has been terminated and that Egypt was free to work out such national insti- tutions as might be suited to the ,aspir- ations of her people.
 At the same time MT. Lloyd George gave the terms upon which the British government will give Egypt the op- portunity of working out her own sal vation.
 He said government white paper would show the House what had taken place since the decision of the policy of the British government last Decem- Der, after the failure of Egyptian mis- sion to London led by Adly Yegher Pasha. The paper also would contain he added. the declaration of policy on which the government, in accordance with the principles laid down in De cember, now proposed to proceed.
 Martial law will be abolished in Egypt as soon as an act of indemnity has been passed, the premier an nounced. He explained that martial law had been used, not to enforce the British policy upon Egypt, but as a main instrument of government in the hands of the Egyptian ministers for certain important measures arising out of war conditions.
 Mir. Lloyd George said it was for the Egyptian government to pass the nee essary legislation in the way of which Eve undertake to place no obstacle provided the final clause of the gov ernment's declaration is duly observ- ed. The final clause defines the spe- cial relations between the British and Egyptian governments, and declares foreign matters are reserved to the discretion of the British government. "
 Following are the vital points in the governments decision:
 1. Security of the communica-
 tions of the British empire in Egypt.
 2. Defense of Egypt against all
 foreign aggressions or interference,
 direct or indirect.
 3. Protection of the foreign in-
 terests of Egypt and protection of
 minorities.
 4. We are prepared to make an
 agreement with the Egyptian gov
 ernment in a spirit of mutual &C.,
 commodation if a spirit of favor
 able opportunity arises for the con
 clusion of such an agreement. But
 until such an agreement satisfac-
 tory to ourselves and to the Egyp-
 tian government has been concluded
 the status quo will remain intact.

sTEER-RED PARASOT--BEDLAM Enraged Bovine Wrecks a Market
 Place in New York.

Place in New York.
 New York, March 4.-A large Texas steer today turned Paddy's Market, a couple of blocks west of Times Square, into a topsy turvy scene of frightened shoppers and ped dlers, overturned pushcarts and dam aged vegetable stocks.
 The steer used young woman's red parasol as an excuse for abruptly quitting herd on the way to an abattoir. The young woman even more quickly dropped her parasol and escaped.
 When the steer plunged thru Pad dys Market the air was filled with oranges, ksh, shoe strings, cups and saucers, neckties, lettuce, potatoes, shoes, bananas, newspapers and Mrs. Mary Smith. She was hurled upward when a pushcart hit her.
 The steer had stumbled on the pushcart and before it could arise Policeman Michael Mulcahy jumped on it, grabbed it's horns and 'bull- dogged" the animal just as the cow boys do in the rodeos.

NOW SOMEONOE TOLD A LIEF If Mary Didn't, Mrs. Wilkenning Did,
 Judge Tells Jury.

New York, March 3.-Federal Judge Mack reached the conclusion today that either Mary Pickford or Mrs. Cora W. Wilkenning, who sued the cinema actress for $1O8, ,000, had lied deliberately. He left it to a jury to decide which one was guilty.
 The jury returned it's decision this afternoon. but as Judge Mack had gone home, the verdict was sealed and the question of veracity will not be known until tomorrow.
 The lie, according to the judge, rested in the conflicting stories of the methods Mary used in 1916 to get Adolph Zukor to increase her salary from $4, 900 week to S10,000.
 Mrs. Whitening, whose business is that of locating jobs and better sal aries for persons who live by amusing others, claimed it was she who per suaded Zukor to fatten Mary's in come.
 Mary denied Mrs. Wilkenning's story.
 When the verdict was opened it was found to be for Mary Pickford who now has spent s300,000, it is said to avoid paying s108, ,000
