The order plans such a procession as
the climax of a series of four demon
strations.

unmask for the celebration, if this
departure from custom is required.
The Commissioners last summer
ruled against parades in the Dis
trict where marchers appear masked.
The khan claims a local member

that a women's auxiliary of the
order was formed here, with a large
membership, three weeks ago. SINH

Ten thousand Klansmen Of the
District, Maryland and Delaware
gathered at Annapolis for a parade
and crab feast, Saturday night. The
mayor allowed the parade only after
khan officials agreed to unmasking
during the procession.
This affair was the first of the
four summer gatherings Of the khan.
The second is scheduled for Thurs
day night in Prince Georges county.
The third Is to be held within two
weeks, and the fourth, it is planned,
will be held in Washington, early
next month.

COOLIDGE WILL
SUPPORT NEW
DRY RULES
Considering Radical Measures
to Put Punch in
Regulations.
By w. II. ATKINS,
International News Service.

Some radical changes are to be
effected forthwith in the Govern
ment's prohibition enforcement
policy, it was learned here today.
All of them will be designed to
put more punch" in the efforts
of the Treasury Department to
keep the country dry.
New Rules Proposed.
President Coolidge has under
consideration plans of prohibition
officials to give greater authority
to State prohibition directors
through the modification of pres
ent regulations. AS soon as the
proposals have received the ap-
proval of the President they will
be put into effect by Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes.
The new President already Is I'M
der pressure for a new deal in the
prohibition official lineup in a num-
Der of States.
Much speculation exists over the
status of Roy A. Haynes, Federal
prohibition commissioner. Commits
sioner Haynes, according to re-
ports, desires to enter the guberna-
torial race in Ohio. It is not yet
known to what extent this may az
feet his tenure in office. The Presi.
dent has told friends that he places
a high estimate upon Haynes Of
fetal record.
Aside from the fights now on to
gain for State directors undivided
control Of enforcement in their re-
spective areas. a determined move
ment is in progress to force sweep
ing changes Of existing regulations.
These proposals are designed to
stiffen the warfare against illegiti-
mate liquor interests.
Revise Medicinal Restrictions.
There also are suggestions that
the rule must be greatly modified
to allow liberality in the disposition
or non-beVerage or medicinal
liquors. Existing restrictions on
druggists and physicians are re-
sponsible for some of the discomfort
evidenced in all parts of the coun-
try. This is reflected in recent bit
ter protests to Secretary of the
Urea sury Mellon and Revenue Com
missioner Blair.
The varied squabbles over pro-
hibition laws, and especially over
the method Of their administra ton.
will-be considered in detail at a
conference next week between Jresi-
dent Coolidge and Secretary Of the
Trasury Mellon. Mellon is now en-
route from Europe. Until he
reaches here the President will hold
up action upon matters relating to
enforcement. Meanwhile, however,
the question is expected to be one
of the many ma or matters brought
up for Cabinet discussion.
