INVISIBLE EMPIRE
Judge Clayten Assails Prin-
cipIes of Ku Klux Klan and
Kindred Societies.

ORLANDO, Fla, June 16.-Declaring
that there is no place for AN invisible
empire" within the United States and
characterizing the usurpation of govern
mental functions by the Ku Klux Khan
or any other organization as destined to
do an inestimable wrong to society
United States Judge Henry D. Clayton,
assailed the policies and principles of
such societies in frey phraseology today
in an address before the Florida State
Bar association.
TT is true. Judge Clayton said, that
the people have the right to revolution
ize or change their government when
ever they see fit to do so, but it is quite
a different thing for this set Of men or
that set of men to undertake outside Of
the law to declare that the government is
Intellectual and to arrogate to themselves
the power to furnish supplemental rem
edies."
There is no place" the speaker con-
tinued "for an invisible empire within
the United States, nor any reason for
clan or gang to do any part Of the busi-
ness of governing or correcting or pun
ishing citizens. A secret organizations
for such purpose is reprehensible not
withstanding avowals Of it's members
that they have sworn to uphold the con-
stitution of the United States. Such
avowals and such oaths cannot defeat
the just charge that these organizations
are conspiracies against law and govern
ment."
Judge Clayton said he would cite the
case of ''an eminent citizen OF Alabama"
who he said. joined the Khan, and later
discovered that a regular docket" was
maintained containing cases against
citizens Of the state.
after he had succeeded in clearing
this docket many Of whose cases IN
voIved mere personal grievance or spite.
this good man abandoned his fellow
ship" the speaker said. adding that "or-
ganizations such as this have no place
in our land. they are not useful in the
governing business and cannot fail to
be productive OF crime"
Discussing what he termed the meth
DDS Of the Klan, Judge Clayton declared
they are Dracticed under shrouds and
behind masks and in darkness. inherent
evidences Of cowardice."

Regulations Issued Yester-

PrOhi Unit.
(sy The Associates Pressl

WASHINGTON. June 16.--Sale Of liquor
on shipping board vessels outside the
three mile limit is permissible under the
new treasury regulations issued today,
according to p. A. Wise, general counsel
for the prohibition unit
This Interpretation was taken as set
Ting for the time being the controversy
over liquor on government ships precip-
itated by Adolphus Busch 3rd, the st.
Louis brewer, when he wrote President
Harding that the government was en-
gaging in the bootlegging business by
permitting sale of alcoholic beverages on
shipping board vessels.
Solution of the problem, Wayne b.
Wheeler, general counsel Of the Anti
Saloon League, declared tonight, lies in
excluding all ships that sell liquor from
American ports"
Legislation to this end IS being con-
sidered. he said. asserting that by put
ting both American and foreign vessels
on an equal footing with respect 10
liquor. the competitive feature of the
question would be removed.
The new regulations were not drafted
with the intention of settling the ques-
tion Of liquor on shipping board vessels,
Mr. Wise said, and in fact were written
before that question arose. As drawn,
however, he said, they would apply
equally TO American and foreign ships in
permitting intoxicating sea-stores within
the three mile limit under the customs
regulations which provide that, while in
American ports all liquors on board
ship must be sealed up.
It was freely predicted tonight at pro-
hibition headquarters however, that an
early opinion would be forthcoming from
Attorney General Daugherty definitely
ruling on the question Of liquor on Ameri-
can ships.
CHICAGO, June 16-Adolphus Busch
has put one over and his present po-
sition in reference to enforcing the pro-
hibition laws on American ships Is
above reproach and deserving Of the
highest commendation. Virgil Hinshaw,
chairman Of the prohibition national
committee said today in a statement
1T is a sad commentary upon our
government that 1t has remained for
Americas foremost former brewer to re-
veal the big leak in the national admin
istration of the prohibition amendment"
