THE KU kLUX KHAN

Col Nolan of Atlanta, Ga, made
an address in the court house last
Monday night on the order of the
knights of the Ku kluX Klan.
1t was one of the most eloquent
and informing addresses heard here
in many a day and il is to be regret
ted that mere Of cur people did not
hear him.
He told when and how the X. K.
X. was organized, what it stood
for, It's principles and tenets, and
what it expected to accomplish.
The great principles for which it
was organized and which it seeks to
maintain are those for which our
fathers fought when they threw off
the yoke of oppression of the mother
country during the revolutionary war.
Briefly stated its bed rock tcnets
are America for Americans; Absolute,
persistent and determined opposition

cur government in any way, shape
form or fashion. The next cardinal
principle in the street adhcrancc 10
and enforcement Of the constitution
of the United STATES, and for law and
order everywhere.
He stated tha, the order had been
malinged and misrcprcsentcd and
was he! aided through the press as a
d!sloyal and lawioss organization.
But this was not true he stated, as
they believe in uphclding and cnforc
ing the law and preserving order un-
der all conditions.
The next thing the order stood for
was the complete separation cf church
and state and the right Of every man,
woman and child to worship Col ac.

CUNNINGHAM breaches
Makes No Announcement of Plan,
In Regard to Call.

The Rev. John R. Cunningham,
who preached at the Presbyterian
church yesterday, left today for his
home in Grenada, Miss, giving no
positive indication whether he will
accept or decline the call extended
him sometime ago to the pastorate of
the church here. At both the morn
ing and evening hours the Rev. Mr..
Cunningham made a most favorable
impression on the large congregations
which heard him. The hope has been
generally expressed today that he
will finally accept. He said this morn
ing that he felt it would not be fair
to make any definite announcement
since there were so many considera-
tions involved in regard to the work
here and that he would have to give
up should he accept.

Washington, Jan 1.-THE New

the senate had passed into history
today. The senate chamber, with
that, body in recess after the strain
OF battle ended by its AZ to Al, vote
yesterday. that the senatorial choice
of the state Of Michigan in the 1918
election Truman q. Newberry was
entitled to sit in the senate, was
strangely silent. The more than
three years Of uncertainty and sus-
pense resulting from the contest Of
the seat by Henry Ford, Senator
Newberry's defeated democratic op-
ponelt in the election, ended with
the final vote at 6:28 p. m. x.

sored by republican leaders declar-
ing the Aichigander Is entitled to
his seat were all republican senator's
Of that party joined 80 democrats
in opposing. Three senator's were
paired for and three aaginst the
resolution and three did not vote.
The resolution as adopted carried
an amendment introduced nv Sena
tor Willis, republican, Ohio, by
which the senate severely con-
demned and .disapproved" excessive
campaign expenditures "as harmful
to the honor and dignity Of the sem
ate and dasgerousft to the perpetuity
of free government" The amend
'ment was accepted by the Newberry
supporters as a substitute for the
original clause declaring Hnfounded
the charges involved in the Ford
contest that the Michigan senator
was not entitled to his seat because
Of campaign expenditures.
Senator Newberry accepted the
action of the senate in 4 subsequent
statement as complete vindica-
tion Of myself and all concerned"

MUST MAKE RULES
TO SCRAP SHIPS
HEADS OF FIVE DELEGATIONS
DISCUSS oUEsTIoN.-PRoPoS.
ED TO CONVERT CERTAIN
CAPITAL SHIPS UNDER CON-
sTRUcTION INTO AIRPLANEs

Washington, Jan. 14.-Discussion
of the rules for scrapping capital
ships by the heads Of the five dele
cations has involved suggestions from
both American and Japanese repre-
Fsentatiyes that certain ships now un-
der construction for their navies be
converted into airplane carriers-the
superdreadnaughts Kaga and Yosa,
100000 ton ships of the class immedi-
ately following the Mutsu-while the
suggestion Of American naval officials
was that the battle cruisers Lexington
Constellation and Saratoga, each of
which is more than 80 pr cent. COM
plete, be; utilized for the same pur-
pose. ',.,. 49,, -; @a !"
Conversion of the Japanese battle
ships into carriers would involve
stripping them Of armor and Of the
main batteries Of 10 16-inch guns
each for which they were designed,
also the removal and destruction of
their turrets and turret structures.
his would reduce their tonnage to
approximately $4,000 tons displace-
ment and bring them within the orig
inal proposal to limit the size of air
craft carriers to that weight. The
removal of the arms and armament
Of the three American battle cruis-
ers, however, would not lower their
designed displacement of approx
mately $4,000 tons below about 49,
600 and if the conference ultimately
decided for economic reasons that the
use as air carriers Of the three cruis-
ers is desirable a provision must be
made in the treaty to fix the maxi
mum size for airpfane carriersat 49,
600 tons instead OF $1,000. '
Another problem as to the scrap
ping rules arose over the Japanese
desire to retain some of their old
battleships as training ships for gun
turret crews. 1t has been the practice
of the Japanese navy to give prelimi-
nary training to turret crews aboard
superanuated battleships. The Brit
ism have turret and guns for this
training purpose installed at gun
merry school ashore while in the Am
erican service turret training is. given
aboard active ships of the fleet.

TREATY RATIFIED !
|N'SHORT ORDER

Dublin, Jan. 14.-Interest in the
political situation tonight centers in
the meetins: which will be held to-
morrow by the southern parliament
for the ratification of the peace trea-
ty with Great Britain. Invitations to
the session were issued today, signed
by Arthur Griffith. They were direct
ed to all deputies elected for the rs
southern counties, including Eamon
De Valera and his adherents. It is
not expected, however, that Mr.. De
Valera or any of his followers will
ATTEND.
The meeting will be held in the oak
room of Mansion House and unless
some members opposed to the treaty
decide at the last minute to attend,
it promises to be a somewhat per-
functory ceremony.
A chairman will be elected, the
treaty formally ratified and a pro-
visional government established. Mr..
Griffith and the members Of the new
cabinet, according to present plan,
will comprise the provisional govern
ment.
With the establishment Of the gov
ernments the decks will be cleared
for the complicated and laborious
task of transferring authority from
the British to the Irish government.
All the members of the cabinet con-
ferred at Mansion House today dis
cussed not only the future duties and
the responsibilities Of the provisional
government, but the immediate nec'
essity for dealing with the threatened
strike Of the raifwaymen.

FOUR MEN BURIED
IN. MINE CAVE-M
THREE OTHERS SUFFER INJU-
RIES NEAR SCRANTON-BIG
FORCE DIGGING INTO MASS
OF, DEBRIS FROM THREE
ANGLES.

Scranton, Pa, Jan. 14.-Four mer
were entombed, three were injured
and several others had narrow es
capes from death today when &c
acres of land dropped in a mine cave.
in Of gigantic proportion in the Ma.
tional mine of the Glen Alden Goa
company. Seventy-five men attacked
the mass of debris, coal, rock and
earth from three different angles, but
had not obtained any trace Of the
missing men late tonight W. W
Inglis, president of Glen Alden com
pany, personally supervised the work
of the rescuers and was hopeful that
the men would be found alive. :
With the exception of the four en-.
tombed miners, all other employees
in the affected area had been &C.
counted for by company officials. The
missing men are: Edward Hughes
section foreman; Al Reese, electrician
and prominent locally as a sprinter
and athlete; John Barrett, laborer;
Michael Kelly, laborer.
President Inglis in a statement
this afternoon attributed the cave-in
>or "in-squeeze" to the small pillars
which had been left standing by an.
other company which formerly oper-
ated the mine and which had started
to disintegrate by reason Of the huge
weight they supported. 49,.
The area affected by the\ cave COW
ers FIVE city blocks. Fissures in the
surface are discernible for 800 feet
west Of Pittston avenue. But not
withstanding its great size the cave
caused comparatively small damage
to the surface property.
Three injured men were removed
from the mine shortly after the acci-
dent and taken to a hospital. All are
expected to recover.
Great excitement prevailed in the
vicinity of the affected area. The
squeeze was accompanied by a roar
and rumbling that could be heard for
a great distance and which continued
for about five minutes. Throughout
the day there was further evidence Of
settling, but it was not so distinct as
that which accompanied the first
shock.
