 Rumor of Engagement.
 At the home of Harry Payne Whit hey at Westbury yesterday it was said that young Whitney is Somewhere in the West" His parents could not be found.
 Society columns a month ago said that young Whitney and Miss Maria Norton, raughted of MT. and Mrs. Sheridan Norton of $50 Park avenue, and Westbury, were engaged, Neither family has yet made formal an- nounccment of an engagement
 Whitney is a grandson of Mrs Van derbilt, widow of Cornelius Wander hilt, and also d grandson of William C. Whitney. He was graduated from Yale last June For time he was on the Yael varsity eight.
 Friendship Known.
 MISS Onl11ne IS well known ddnc- CT She caused a sensation two years ago, when she introduced weird Indo- Chinese dances to American and European audiences.
 In Greenwich Village, where Miss Fontaine has been well known for sev- eral years. her friends frequently heard that Whitney and she were firm friends. Women close to the dancer more than a year ago said they had heard that the heir to the Whitney and Vanderbilt millions might wed ner.
 Whitney, questioned at that time, emphatically denied the possibility of marriage with Miss Fontaine. His family was equally emphatic in it's denials.
 The announcement by Mrs Fon- taine coming almost on the heels et the reported engagement of Whit ney to Miss Nerten caused great stir in society.

KHAN CANDIDATE
 LEADS CULBERSON
Battle of Religious Differences
 Splits Primaries

Houston. Tex, July 24.--On a plat. torm or religious differences, Ku Klu, niah candidates won sweeping vic. tories in the democratic primaries saturday, causing split in the party that will be healed only after years ot bitterness.
 In practically all important offices, the klan either obtained q clear ma 1ority ensuring nomination or a plu- rality which will necessitate a run or primary on August 26 with the next highest candidate on the lists.
 Earle B. Mayfeld, Kan indorsed candidate for the senate seat now held by Charles A. culberson, Is leading on the basis of returns received last night. Former Governor James E. Ferguson. impeachcd in 1917, is second and Mir. Culberson, who is third in a six-cornered race, will be sent back to private life after twenty four years in the Senate unless he can overcome Ferguson's lead In that case he will fight it out with Mayfleld at the run-off primary.
 Gov. Pat M. NeH, indorsed by the Klan, has clear majority over hi. two opponents for renomination and there will probably be no need for a run-off.
 Billie Mayneld Jr., newspaper man. indorsed by the Klan but never taken seriously by the anti-Klan forces. Is far ahead in the race for lieutenant governor. He and T. w. Davidson. Kan candidate, will N1,o Ia. ko oNf
 If Culberson can get into the rum off primary. there is very good chance that Mayheld will be beaten. The old Senator has powerful grip on Texas voters and 1t is likely that practically all the other anti-Klan groups will line up behind him. At present he has 5000 to Ferguson's s3,0oo and Mayheld's s4,ooo, with half the state still out.
 However. the situation gives the re- publicans the greatest opportunity they have had in Texas for years. With the democratic party split wide open i9 storm of religious bigotry their opponents may gain several seats in a state that has had but one republican congressman in years.
 The Klan has made regigion the laramount issue. Proclaming that it stands for Professionalism against Catholic and Jewish domination and appealing strongly to the woman vote, 1t has built up powerful organizations.
 In the face of the furious opposition of 90 per cent of the judiciary and a majority of the press, the Klan has this general procedure.
 Only a short time before the cleo lion the Klan put forward its local candidates Its ticket was desig- hated as Protestants and then organ zed a so-called League of Protestant Women. All over the state the issue suddenly became a question of Protes- ants against Jews and Catholics, anE almost uniformity the klan won.
 Of course not all the Protestants tned I'D with the klan. In fact al- nost all the anti-Klan candidates were orotestants But the fact remains nat regardless of the strength of the slan. a spirit of intolerance has been reused in Texas. It seems to have wept some of the best members or he judiciary and most able state fficers from the slate.

of a staue of Buffalo Bill" Cody, l ct Cody, Wyoming She returned from that place within the last week. Mrs. Fontaine's Story. Speaking of the case to a represen- tative of the press, Mrs. Fontaine said:
 My daughter Evan, who is an ac- complishcd dancer. first met MT. | Whitney at a ball given at the Ritz | hit, Jr. Evan had been engaged to put on ballet, Sonny, as we call MT. Whitney. immediately fell in love with Evan.
 Evan and were stopping at the Hotel Pennsylvania about that time, and every week end, Sonny would come down from Yale and spend the short holiday with us. It was not long before the two became engaged. We made no public announcement, but all of Sonny's friends at college knew Of it.
 MT. Whitney was a steady caller at our home until shortly before the baby was born. For while we saw
 
 New Haven to see him. and told him of her condition Sonny promise ] her he would marry her. They would have eloped then and there. but some difficulty he encountered at college prevented him" Repeated obstacles were met. she said, when lawyers to whom she went refused to take up the case. None would go through with the action, Mrs. Fontaine asserted, until former Senator Edgar T, Bracket, of Sara toga Springs, was approached.
 While the suit has been pending offers have come to us indirectly from the Whitney family. They were to the effect that # we would drop the suit Evan myself and the baby would ba taken care Of for life, If we would agree to a proposition which we could not accept It was:
 Make an announcement that the child is not the son of Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney. but the son of Sterling Adair."
 Refused Settlement
 This Is not , fact and we could not agree to 1t. We refused and have been bounded ever since. But I am sure that justice will prevail for this little fellow here.
 My daughter is not in New York now She left for Los Angeles ten 1 days ago for rest"
 Sterling Adair to whom Mrs. Fon-} taine referred at one time was her husband, Adair, Texas oil salesman, met, wooed and mar lied the young dancer in April. 1918 A year or more later he was foun,l shot dead near Dallas Texas Mrs. Fontane said of him:
 They had been married but a day N nen I learned that Adair had been married once before. We went to Nyack, instituted annulment pro ceedngs. and one month after tho the annulment vas granted It was the following year that Evan met Sonny, and then began the only and real love the poor little girl has ever known.
 "When, a month ago, she read of his reported engagement to Miss Marie Norton, society girl, 1t nearly broke her heart. She always loved Sonny, and never gave up hope Of becoming his wife.''

R. R. Men Have Been Filing IT Grievances 15 Months, Leader Says.

Washington, July 24.-That the trailroad shopmen have been prepar- ing for the strike now in progress since April 1921, and waited fifteen months because of desire to "ac- cumulate enough grievances, was the statement made yesterday by P. J. Conton vice president of the Inter national Association of Machinists, at a public mass meeting here.
 Union officials learned on April S.. 1921, he said, that the national agree ment with the railroads was to be abolished from every road we ap- preached which indicated to us there was some central agency or authority directing the fight against us. Then we realized that we would have to sit tight and suffer in silence until enough grievances had been accumulated to support a demand for nation wide strike"
