TO
MEET TONIGHT
Special Licenses, Election OF Off
GERS And 1922 Budget To
Come Up

The city council will meet tonight
at O'Clock in its first regular ses-
sion of the new year. The first mat
ter of business probably will be the
enactment Of the special license ordi-
nance, which was postponed from
special meeting Tuesday because the
members were not yet ready to pass
on the subject. Another probable
matter of tonight will be the elec-
tion of certain city officers, including
recorder, fire chief and other mem-
bers Of the fire department, cemetery
sections, etc. Some of the elective
offices will not be filled, however,
until the new committees, which are
to be assigned, have had time to
make recommendations
The budget for the new year has
been in process Of formation for sew
eral days, Mayor Sheppard devoting
much of his personal attention TO it,
and it is likely the financial report
for last year and the proposed budget
for the new year will be presented
tonight. Last years report is said to
be excellent and the outlook good for
a reduction Of expenditures this year.

ing for many years on its allowances
Last year the city budget provided
$50 per month for the library which,
with the $50 allotted by the county,
constituted practically its entire
source of income 1t is un-
understood the new budget as made
up provides an increase to $500
year or $75 per month for the library
for the new year, which, together
with the county appropriation, will
give maximum incomet Of SIZE
per month for all expenses, including
heat, electricity, insurance, Librarians
salary, repaYrsof books, buying new
books and periodicals, etc. Inasmuch
as the city entered into q solemn
agreement with the Carnegie F'oundaa
tion to support the library to a much
more generous extent than even the
new budget contempiates, and iias-
much as the library has been terribly
crippled in recent years and must cons
tinue to be SO unless more money is
available, an emphatic plea will be
made, it is understood, Tor at least
double last years appropriations,
which would swell the library's gross
income, exclusive of fines on delin-s
quent book borrowers, to s15o per
month.

This faction charges:
That the Khan is in shaky finan.

That Clarke and Mrs: Tyler have
turned the Klan into an instrument

Imperial Wizard Simmons official

He says:
'1t is a desperate attempt on the
part Of disgruntled and discharged

ganization.
'srhe attack on Clark is merely
rciteration Of charges previously

the propagation department of the
Ku Klux Klan.
Mrs. Tyler, in written commu-

until the enemy has been vanquished'
but explained that the illness of Mrs.
Jett, which she said may prove fatal,

Mississippi Lad Saw 10 or IL AT
Is-sur- Tile, He Says, Where
Reports Show 2

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Herbert
Cadenhead, of Greenville, Miss, aged
21, today told the senate committee
Investigating the Watson charges that
soldiers were illegally hanged in
France, that he saw ten or twelve
men executed at Is-sur-Tille, France.
The war department records prev
lousy submitted showed that ony two
soldiers were hanged at Is-sur- Tile,
and only eleven soldiers in all hang
ed in France. Cadenfeld did not
know how mary of the men had been
tried.
Called to testify on charges that
Major H. L. Opie, of Staunton, Va,
hai shot two soldiers, Horace Cook
end Claude Breedon, both of Cow
lrgton, Va, said they had no per-
sonal knowledge of the matter.
Grayson H. Withrow, of Baltimore,
still in his early twenties, yesterday
afternoon testified that he saw Ma.
ior Opie seize a gun from a private
and fire at a man in his command
Shells were falling overhead, he said,
and there was tremendous eXcit.
cment, but Withrow swore that from
his retreat in shell hole he peeped
out and saw the man fall as the ma
jor's gun barked. But he could not
say whether Opie had killed him, de-
claring the latter, standing out in
the open, was within arms reach
of half a dozen ocicers when the
shot was fired.
Tells of Runners Death
AS Withrow left the stand Will
liam F. st. John, young man from
Lynchburg, Va, suffering from ner-
vous troubles resulting from service
overseas, accused the Virginian of
shooting down a runner. at the
front because he failed to heed after
thrice being ordered to halt. Four
other men saw the killing, he declar-
ed, but he refused of his own ac-
cord to give their names, on the
ground that he had not been able to
confer with them, and that it would
not be just to him if they appear and
not back up" his charges. One of
them, he said, had developed cold
feet" and was unwilling TO come.
Reminded by Chairman Brande-
gee that the names must be submit
ted, st. John complied, mentioning
first the cousin of one of Major
Opie's counsel, sitting across the ta-
bic. 1t was while st. John was being
examined by John T. Cutchins, of
Richmond, Va, Major Opie's counsel,
that he lost control of his shattered
nerves, and dramatically shouted that
ne was dealing with bunch of fanat-
ycs who "are trying to prove I am
nutty." Mr.. Cutchins promptly dis
claimed any such intention.
Seeing that the young man was
worn out by excitement, Senator
Watson, Democrat, Georgia, whose
charges of illegal executions are un-
der investigation, declined to ques-
tion him.
When asked to give the names of
the four men whom he alleged had
seen Major Opie shoot a runner, st.
John mentioned first Robert Barks-
dale, of ynchburg, cousin of one of
The majors lawyers, but did not
know where he is located at present.
The others named by ST. John were
man named Goodall or Woodall, at
Winchester; Oscar J. May, of Lynch
burg, and Henry j. Burbee, of Law
renee, Mass. Tt9 was indicated that
the committee would call them as
witnesses
