KHAN WILL NOT
ABOLISH MASKS

Washington, Dec. l9.-Emphasizing
that he had not sought the converse
ton he had yesterday with Governor
Allen Of Kansas, DR.. H. w. Evans of
Dallas, Texas, imperial wizard Of the
Ku klux Klan, said today he had
listened to Mr.. Allen two or three
minutes in which he said he was in
hearty sympathy with the khan prin-
ciples but registered some objection
to the khan resalia." Then khan mask
will never be taken Off, he asserted,
saying it was part of the organiza-
tions lodge regalia and never would
be abolished.
II came to Washington on impor-
tant business, said DIR. Evans, "and
had no intention Of wasting any time
with Mr.. Allen. 1t makes little
or no difference what Governor Allen
says, and what he does means even
less"
The new imperial wizard of the
invisible empire held confab with
klan officials III his hotel here today,
but no hint of what was considered
was disclosed. He was accompanied
TO Washington by a group of high of
ticials of the order.
"The spirit Of khan kraft" he said
has enwrapped the United States in
mantel of love for country which de-
signing and ambitious politicians can
not break, and in a few years the in
fluence of the khan will have SO en-
quilted the supine inertia from our
Cgis!ative halls and raise in it's place
the militant flag of red, white and
blue, which means the thing nearest
the heart of every real American. :.
at tawes few men lik, Mr.. Allen
to prove the justice of khan kraft.
We are profoundly grateful to Mr..
Allen for the sacrifice he has made
in relegatins himself to political OBJ
livion in the stand he has taken to
oppose those men of America who
have pledged their votes, their money
their honor and their lives, if neces.
sary to maintain our national honor

NO TRACE OF
DARING BANDITS

Denver, COL, Dec. 19.-Denyer state
and federal authorities tonieht after
day and night spent in searching for
tne bandits, who yesterday morning
shot and killed Charles Linton. stole
a consignment Of currency Of 5000 900
from federal reserve guards and then
made their escape In one of the most
darlng and sensational holdups ever
staged in the West, were without tan.

bandits.
Police, spared on by the offering
OF reward Of $4,000 for the bandits.
dead or alive, by the city and county
OF Denver, and by An additional re-
ward agRregating 5000 offered by
the Kansas City Federal Reserve
bank, admitted that although they had
many clues that promised possibili-
ties. they were still far from the So
luton Of the hold up.
Tonight squad Of Il detectives
IL engaged in watching a rooming
house in the immediate vicinity of
the government mint, where earlier in
the day a car, evidently left ON the
street by the bandits to be used in
case Of accident to their own machine
during the hold up, was discovered
through information furnished by a
woman. The car. an investigation
showed, had been stolen. The automo-
bile, according to the woman, had
been parked on the street by three
men, about an hour preceding the hold
up and subsequent gun fighting on
the front step Of the main entrance
to the mint.
That the robbery was accomplished
by Denver bandits and not by outside
highwaymen, is the belief Of Chief of
Police H. R. Williams and the search
for them Is being conducted with that
theory In mind.
Roads leading into the mountains
were thoroughly policed today by de-
tails Of policemen in an effort to find
trace Of the escaped men but all
searching parties reported to head
quarters their trips had been fruit

TURKEY HAS
MANY FEARS

Lausanne, Zee. 10 (By the Associ-
ated Press) Turkish fears of sub
marines, Turkish fears of swiftly fly
ing military airplanes, laden with
bombs, and, generally, Turkish fears
Of aggressions from without that will
put Constantinople in danger have to-
night placed the whole Lausanne con-
ference in jeopardy.
The United States is silent on the
situation, but the allied leaders say
tonight that they have uttered their
last word on the question of the lib
erty Of the sraits. Tomorrow the Turks
must say yes or no to the allied pro-
ject.
The British experts, Admiral Keyes
and General Burdett-Stuart already
have left for England, believing their
work completed, and the French ex-
perts are preparing to depart tomor-
row night at the conclusion of the
last session" for discussion of the
straits. Whether a rupture will come
on the straits problem depends chiefly
on whether the entente diplomats and
their experts can remove the Turkish
fears. This they are trying to do to-
night.
The diplomats are endeavo, ing to
convince the Angora statesmen that
the straits project is essentially
framed to meet conditions in times
Of pease, and that the allies are not in
any sinister hidden manner seeking
facilities for war, and especially
against Turkey. They say they have
only sought the equality of all fleets
passing through the straits on peace
iui errands.
The allies have emphasized that
they can not accept the Turkish re-
quest for the suppression of subma,
rines and military sirplanes; especi
ally they have been unable to accept
the Ottoman suggestion that com
bined foreign fleets entering tht
Black sea shall not exceed in strength
