Spirit Of Monk
 Made Him Artist

New York, Aug. 29.-Mrs. A. M.
 (Alice MurieD Williamson, English remarkable tale of a stolid British Army officer who recently fell under the spell of occult forces and, while under their control, executed a series ruins of old Glastonbury Cathedral.
 Mrs. Williamson brought those drawings and descriptions with her as far as the pier, from where the cus- toms officials for two hours shook puzzled heads and then "for further Investigation" removed them to the Appraisers Stores.
 Mrs Williamson knows little of spiritualism, but is greatly interested in the extraordinary work of her friend, Capt. John Alleyne Bartlett. In the Hotel Belmont recently she told a little of the story. She said:
 'The ruins of Glastonbury are fa- nous and very interesting, though now little more than a heap of jagged rocks. In the cathedral is thought to be the tomb where sleep King Arthur. he of the Round Table, and his be- loved Gu1neVere. There also, some where, was the chapel of Edward II. | But because of the antiquity and con- ditfon of the ruins none knows just where.
 "One afternoon Capt. Bartlett. who loved to proWl about the ruins, sud- denly felt strange urge to write, a l feeling he said was beyond the power of words to describe So he sat him down wlth pad and pencil. Soon he became drowsy and in his mind came | the most exquisite pictures of old tGlastonbury Cathedral as those o1 other ages knew it.
 l And then voice, the voice of one who described himself to be a monk or another century, further described the Cathedral in detail and many o1 the scenes that had brightened it: grim od walls. Isn't it perfectly won derful! And so he wrote down these vivid pictures of the Cathedral of ar tearlieir day.
 But imagine what then happened lie contlnued to prowl about the olt runs, under the guidance of the olt monk ana, upon another day. he
 nis unlnag1native army officer who had never before written other thar letters and reports and had never never draWn, suddeny found himself executing the most perfect and glor. iouS plctures of the complete Cathe uIaI. En1nent architects who have examined these drawings, some o1 whlch are in pastel, declare no hu. man praln could have directed the e4eGutlon ecu, or such perfect work.
 III sure I can't understand it. adoeo Mrs. Williamson, who hopes that her pictures will soon be re.

By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON,
 I. N. s. Staff Correspondent.
 Washington, Aug. 29-WiI1iam
 Jennings Bryan will toss his old
 campaign hat back into the na-
 tionaI political arena this fall, it
 was learned today from Bryan himself in an interview.
 Bryan announced he would
 ''talSe the stump" for his former
 M. Hitchcock, who is seeking re-
 election to the Senate from
 Nebraska. Bryan's endorsement
 of Hitchcock officially ends the
 oldest feud within the Democratic
 party and one which a decade ago
 threatened to destroy the party.
 Back of Bryan's statement was the purpose of Democratic leaders to heal every political woun6 within the ranks in order to present a united party front in the November elections. Their hope, as voiced by Bryan, is the election of a Democratic House as a preface to placing a Dem ocrat in the White House in 1924.
 'The questions over which we once fought have all been settled and w. all stand on the same platform now, said Bryan in endorsing Senato Hitchcock. 'I will speak for Senato Hitchcock and for the whole Demo cratic ticket in Nebraska. I shal open my campaign there about Octo Der first. Besides the Senator ther, are six Congressmen and the Stat ticket which I think have a sp1endi, chance of electing"
 Incidentally leading the Nebrask: Democratic State ticket as candidat for governor is Charles Bryan, famou Brother Charlie of the orator Nebraskan days.
 Outlines National Issues.
 The national issues, Bryan added in the November elections will be tn revenue and tariff bills and sNew berryism-" He predicted however, tn

JURY INDICTSCHIE
OF XII kLUX KHAN
IMPERIAL WIZARD CLARKE NON
FACES SERIOUS CHARGE.
MAILS TO DEFRAUD.
HAS ALREADY RESIGNED
Accused Man Has Been Acting Head
of the Entire KIan Since Wizard
Simmons Went on Sick Leave
Sometime Ago.

Atlanta, Ga.-Edward Young Clarke
acting imperial wizard and chief die
tator Of the knights Of the Ku Klnx
Klan, was indicted by the United
States grand jury here on charge
Of using the mails to defraud.
He was arrested and taken to the
Fulton county tower, where $500
bond was posted by County Commits
sioner George Hope, close friend Of
Clarke. Preliminary hearing before
the United States commissioner was
waived.
The indictment charged that Clarke
had "rake-off' system on bonds re-
quired Of all high officials of the
khan throughout the country. Illus
trating the charge, it was asserted
that while the premium on a $1,000
bond was actually $3.50, Clarke caused
a charge Of SO to be made and pock-
eted the difference. 1t was estimated
that he cleaned up large sum by
this scheme during his service with
the khan.
Testimony had been considered for
four days before the grand jury act
ed. The indictment was voted unani-
mously, federal authorities declared.
The indictment was returned only
few hours after Clarke announced
he would resign from his khan duties
Nov. 10 and turn the reins back over
to William Joseph Simmons, imperial
wizard, whom he placed on the SHELF
several months ago.
Clarke had knowledge that he was
under investigation by the grand jury
before he announced his resignation.
1t was learned at the imperial palace
A score of khan officers and attaches
were summoned before the grand
jury.
United States District Attorney
Clint Hager announced that the way
would be clear for Clarke's trial in
the federal court here late in October.
Paul Etheridge, khan attorney, said
he had been asked to defend Clarke.
and that he would announce a deci-
sion in the next few days. A total
of so witnesses, from widely sepa-
rated parts of the country, will be
placed on the stand against Clarkes
it was announced.

London.-Dispatches received give
even graver aspect to the Near
Eastern situation than that of earlier
this week. The Kemalists are insist
ing on the right to the immediate oc-
cupaton Of Eastern Thrace and have
given the allies time limit for re-
ply. The Turks have refused to &C.
cept the proposal for allied occupa.
tion of Thrace or any allied control,
and apparently they are supported by
the French and Italian governments
Everything seems now to depend
on the British cabinet reply to the re-
port Of Brigadier-General Harrington,
which was said to be anxiously
awaited in Constantinople. 1t was
expected that General Harrington
would ask of the Turks an extension
Of their time limit for the occupation
of Thrace, when he hoped to be in
possession of his governments orders
In the meantime he had proceeded
with the other allied representatives
back to Mudania in the hope Of re-
newing the conference.
The fact that M. Franklin Bouillon,
French envoy, again has accompanied
the French delegates to Mudania, Is
interpreted in official circles here as
a bad sign, as he is regarded as sup
porting the views Of Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, Turkish nationalist leader, al.
though 1t Is not definitely known
whether the French government &C.
tually Is backing him.
Apparently Eliptherios Venizelos,
former Greek premier, is putting no
obstacles in the way of Turkish occu.
patton of Thrace, and is advising the
Greek government against military
attempt to retain the province.
In the meantime the British are as
sembling strong forces, both naval
and military, in the Chanak region
of Asiatic Turkey. a.
One Constantinople dispatch repre-.
sents Kema as being tired Of the de.
lays and as wanting some understand.
ing in writing from the allies.
