Superior Judges Waken to Enormity of Evil and Decide to Stop Outlaw Activities.
MANY READY TO CONFESS
Invasion of Home and Killings Thus Caused Rob Fanatic Order of Lure for Men.

LOS ANGELES, April 29.-A spec ial grand jury was empaneled here today to investigate thoroughly the "Ku Klux Klan, Knights of the Invisible, Empire" by order of the twenty-three judges of the Superior Court, sitting en banc. Many indict- ments are deemed certain, as we'll as sensational exposures, the knowledge of which already is shak- ing the municipal and county govern ment to the foundations.
 Presiding Judge Frank R. Willis, announcing the call for the grand jury, declared every guilty man should suffer the penalties of the law.
 The sudden call for the grand jury was the result of what amounts to a public uprising following an organized raid upon a private citizens home by gang of the masked Flaw enforcers" last Saturday night, and the killing of one of them and the shooting of several others by an Of ficer who happened on the scene of the outrage. +a
 District Attorney Thomas Lee Wool wine was quick to act, following the Saturday night crime. He immediate ly hurled forth his dragnet, giving his men orders to raid every 'klan" and arrest every person, high or low, who was connected with the Inglewood outrage. In the raids upon the "klan" halls the officers found the membership lists, containing the names of many prominent persons, including three men on the District Attorneys staff, and also scores of policemen and petty judicial office holders.
 Deputy District Attorney Turney announced today that a check of the membership lists found in the offices of one Coburn, grand goblin" of the "Ku Klux Klan," showed relations existing between fourteen organized California cities.
 The wife of District Attorney Nell son of Orange County, Cal, announced today that stranger called and warned her that if she had any infu- ence with her husband she had "bet- ter tell him to lay off this ku kIux kIan stuff"

And Evening Twinkler Is Scooped on Story of Spectacular Feat By Seattle Times. EDITORS REVEALING LOSS No Clue to Robbers But Scribe Sets His Be t Police Sleuths on Their Trial.

SEATTLE, April 29. Four un. masked bandits walked into the busi- ness office of the Seattle Daily Star bright and early this morning, held up the cashier, editors and everyone, sacked up the payroll cash, amounting to S4500, playfully poked the editor in the ribs with gun, then hopped into their automobile and sped away, leav- ing no clue.
 Amid the wild excitement that fol- lowed, caused by the stentorian hoWls of anguish which arose from The Star, the editor forgot about getting out a '..wuxtry," and the Seattle Times was on the street first with the details of the robbery.
 The Star editor was inconsolable. gro be robbed of our all was bad enough" he walled, "but to be SCOOPED on the story was AWFUL!" He wept Then he pulled himself together and, mobilizing his staff, sent his best police sleuths on the tralls of the bandits "I'll catch 'em," he de- clared, eff we have to rake the whole country, if we trail 'em from now until Christmas"
 Come through for workingman!" was the order of the leading bandit, as the four entered the Star office. g "Git 'em up!" he added, savagely, polk ing his gun against the editors ribs The latter at first thought it was practical joke, but was quickly disil- 1usioned.
 The Seattle Times, by order of Col onel Blethen, blew it's mightiest on it's # big siren whistle, stationed upon the roof, not to help the Star in it's ex- tremity, but to proclaim the scoop.

Every man has his match, and every dog has his day. Not intending to call Babe Ruth bow-wow, but this is preliminary to the announcement that while husky Babe sits upon the bleach CTS with heart full of gloom and re- gret, as a result of his violation of the rules of the game and the enforcement of same by Czar Landis, he is witness ing the spectacle of the rise of another star, equally brilliant and mighty, in the form of Kenneth Williams of the St. Louis Americans.
 Williams, with his poetic given name, is supposed to be regular mama's darling, but he doesn't wear curls and the way he handles bat is scandalous! His home run record for the season already eclipses the record of Babe Ruth for the corresponding previous period, and in the last six days he has made seven home runs of the most spectacular kind. He is said to be veritable blonde Hercules, and the boys call him Kenny the Great.
 What a contest there will be when the mighty Babe is permitted to come back for redemption! He is finding

NATCHEZ, Miss, April 29. - Ap- proximately 50,000 persons are home less above Ferriday, La, from the flood waters of the Mississippi river and it's tributary streams-the Red, Black, Little Tensas and Ouchita. About 750,000 acres of rich farming land, of which more than half was under crop, is being flooded. The damage to crops, highways and fertile lands already runs into countless mil, lions of dollars.
 All of the rich Concordia Parish about 432,525 acres-is under water in Louisiana, also 250,OO0 acres of land under crop in Catahoula Parish.
 The great flood is rushing through Tensas County, Miss, where SO,OOO acres are growing in cotton.
 The Mississippi now stands two feet above the highest level ever recorded since the days of De Soto. More flood water is coming from the north and the worst is expected. A vast sec tion of the country will be under water until late in July.
 The fight to keep the levees from breaking is costing many thousands of dollars daily. The people are calm and without fear, but working to con- quer the emergency by every means at their command.
