Cong. Rainey Announces De-
partment Will Lay Facts
Before Congress.

William ]. Burns, chief OF the
Bureau of Investigation, of the
Department of Justice will be
called upon to furnish Congress
with any information he might
have regarding the activities OF
the Ku Klux Klan and their al
legged meetings in the U. S. Capitol
and the State, War and Navy build
ings and any other additional in
formation he might have regarding
their use of other public build
ings, either in Washington OF any
other city in the United States.
Time for Action, He Says.
Congressman John w. Rainey of
Illinois, who yesterday introduced a
resolution calling for an investigation
by the House and Senate of X. X. X.
ceremonies reported to have been
held in the Capitol and other build
ings here, made this announcement
today.
THE time has come" said the
statement from Mr.. Rainey, for
public officials to uphold their oath
of office and to tear the mask from
the faces and expose to the public
those who are seeking to usurp the
authority of our Government and, by
their violations of our laws, under
the guise of fraternal organizations,
are becoming a disgrace to God, the
nation, and our homes.
Apparently the time is here once
again when there is to be a division
between those who haul down the
stars and stripes and hoist in its
stead the flaming cross of ku Klux-
ism over the Capitol of our country.
Mr.. Rainey said today that he
would seek early action from the
House Rules Committee of his joint
resolution calling for the investiga-
ton.
Capitol officials and State. war
and navy officials today are continu-
ing their investigation into the re-
ports that the Ku Kluxers held
their ceremonies in these public
buildings.

Get Out and Stay Out" VIII
Iiams Tells Spouse on
Hospital Visit.

"You get out of this room and
stay out"
This was the greeting this
morning of Francis M. Williams,
commodore Of the Corinthian
Yacht Club, who is in serious
condition at Emergency Hospital
as result Of bullet wounds,
when his wife, Mrs. Agnes Will
liams, visited him today.
"Pll leave the room," she is
reported as having replied, "but
you'll pay for it." This remark
was directed to Williams secre-
tary, who was sitting near the
wounded mans bedside.
Seek Wife's Arrest.
Shortly after she left the hospital
the secretary. accompanied by Capt,
Robert A. Williams, brother of the
III man, went to police headquar-
ters to have warrant sworn out
for Mrs. Williams on the charge
of making threats. The girl was
told that warrants would not be
issued until after IL O'Clock, and
the captain and she left. This
afternoon Captain Williams said he
would renew his efforts to have
Mrs. Williams arrested.
There never will be a reconcilia-
tion between myself and my wife" +"
Williams is reported as having said
today after he had ordered his wife
from the sick room. IT am hoping
to get well and then I will prose-
cute vigorously. No one will es-
cape the punishment he or she de-
serves"
He is quoted as having said that
his wife knew William Montague
Meline. 1850 Eighth street north
west. who is alleged to have done
the shooting, had been carrying a
gun since July. Captain Williams
said today that he. too. knew
Meline has been carrying a pistol
since that month.
Tale OF Trouble.
Williams and his brother had
spent the evening at the Corinthian
Yacht Club a few hours before the
shooting. While on his way home
in his automobile Williams saw the
lights still on at his wife's home,
211 Third street northwest. and
fearing that one Of his children
might be Ill. he entered.
Seated at a table were Meline.
his wife, and Mrs. Williams. After
making some remarks about the
.Melines. Williams Is quoted as hav.
ing said today that he pointed to
his wife and. Mrs. Meline and said.

and l know what you have been
doing" and then turning to Meline
he asserted, but ] am not going
to tell you"
At this juncture Meline fired.
and wounded Williams. The latter
ran from the house. Meline said
he would not he loyal husband II
ne did not take issue with Williams
at such a remark.
Captain Williams Is authority for
the statement that Williams lawyer,
T.. Morris Wampler, succeeding I'm
blocking the divorce suit which
Mrs. williams brought against her
husband. The $4,000 annual allow
ance was then stopped by Williams
and he allowed her $50 week for
herself and SIS for. the children,
besides paying for the home In
which she was living.
The original trouble started,
Captain Williams said today. when
his brother returned from Chicago
and found his wife absent from
home. She had been missing two
days, II is alleged. and then vii.
liams located her at the home of
the Melines. Since that time there
was coolness between the couple.

II tried to got tho consent Of the

Rosa but he refused to give his per
mission" added the physician.
DR.. Breakstonc explained that a deli
cate operation would have been ncces-
sary. Before their death he had eX-
pressed the opinion that the physio-
logical affinity Of the twins was so
vital that if one should die the other
might also succumb before the band
of flesh and bone that joins en- could
be severed.
Although the twins possessed scpa-
rate respiratory and cardiac systems,
DR.. Breakstonc explained that they
had only one set OF secondary digestive
and procrcativc organs. The operation.
he said, would have ncccssitated the
building up of part OF the digestive

of one twin.
