ANNAPOLIS ELKS DOWN
BALTIMORE ON ALLEYS
Rolling In Good Form Locals
Took Two Out OF Three
Games
MARGIN OF DEFEAT, AZ

The bowling team of Annapolis
lodge of Elks came to the front in fine
shape i'm the match with their bro
theirs of Baltimore lodge, defeating
them by the decisive margin of AZ
pins. The contest. which was the re-
suit of challenge issued by the Bal
timoreans, took place on the alleys of
the latter.
Dismay Supplants Confidence
Full of confidence before the roll
ing got nuder way, the Baltimoreans
were all dismay after it was over.
The Annapolitans went after the op-
ponents with blood in their eyes and
won the first game in handy fashion.
This was enough to take big fail out
OF the Baltimoreans, but Annapolis
continued its good work and walked
OFF with the laurels of the second
game.
Though they tried to take the tide
of affairs good naturedly, the Balti-
moreans were keenly upset, for before
the contest they had done a good deal
of jollying at the expense of the An
napolitans. Baltimore picked up in
the third game. while Annapolis went
to pieces to some extent, and although
the former won this last game. they
could not overcome the big lead their
local brothers had obtained in the
other two.
Big Local Contingent There
About 100 members of the Annapo-
lis lodge went to Baltimore to wit
ness the contest, which attracted such
a large crowd that at times the team
men were greatly interfered with.
The trip of the local contingent was
made on a special car over the Short
Line Division of the W.. B. and A. The
Baltimoreans entertained their guests
at spread" following the contest.
and while they were bested on the al
leys, they made royal hosts at table.
The Baltimoreans have asked for an
other match on Tuesday of next week.

Attorneys for the Indians claim
that 5000, 900 acres of valuable lands,
including the Black Hills of South
Dakota, where gold was discovered
shortly after the Civil War, were
taken from the red men in violation
OF their treaty rights and without
just conversation.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of gold has been taken from
the Black Hills.
Foremost of all the Indian claims
is a demand of $156, 900, 900, with in
terest, for the Black Hills. They are
to ask 500 an acre for the gold
bearing lands, and $50 an acre for
timber lands.

WIZARD STRIPPED
Of HIS INDEPENDENT
POWER OVER KHAN

Judge E. D. Thomas, of Fulton
superior court, on Monday signed
a decree that, in effect, practically
strips the imperial wizard of the Ku
Klux Khan of Independent admins.
trative and executive authority
vesting these powers in the imperial
kloncilium of seventeen members.
The decree declares the imperial
wizard to be the chief executive of
the order but makes all his acts sub.
ject to a two-thirds veto by the
kloncilium and binds him to follow
all acts of the kloncilium.
1t is ordered that Colonel William
Joseph Simmons, emperor and foun-
der Of the order, shall receive $1,000
per month for the remainder of his
life, and that a like sum shall be
paid monthly to his widow, in the
event of his death. In considera-
ton of this sum it is ordered that
Colonel Simmons transfer to the
khan full titles to all rituals, litera-
ture, costumes and other parapher-
MALTA of the order, of which he is
declared to be the author.
Settles Long Fight
The above are the principal pro
visions Of the order, which, it is I'm,
derstood, is satisfactory to all par
ties to the long and involved khan
litigation, and simply puts into prop
er legal form the provisions of the
agreement entered into some time
ago between the Simmons and Ev-
ans factions, which resulted in the
litigation being taken out of court.
Attorneys for both sides assisted
in drawing up the order. For Col
onel Simmons they were the law
firm of Little, Powell, Smith &
Goldstein, and Attorneys Ben II.
Sullivan and j. V. Poole. For I'M
perial Wizard H. w. Evans they
were the law firm of Etheridge,
Sans & Etheridge, the law firm of
Branch & Howard, and the law firm
of Randolph & Parker.

SOLAR CONDITIONS WILL
CAUSE SUMMER OF FREAK
WEATHER, SAY SCIENTISTS
Sun CooIs Off and Takes
Rest, Causing Weather to
''JuSt Go to Pieces" and
Become 'Spotty"

WASHINGTON, May Ga sum-
mer of freak weather" is in pros
pect because of solar conditions, gov
eminent weather experts and scien-
fists here predicted after inten-
sive study of conditions on the sun.
Repeating statements made on
April % that the sun is taking
vacation" just as it has every eleven
years for a long time, scientists at
the Smithsonian institute and the
weather bureau said that "topsy
turvey weather conditions would
prevail all this year.
The sun probably will be back to
normal by next year, they said.
Scientists do not foresee a "sum-
merless year" such as prevailed in
1916, when people wore overcoats in
July and snow and frost were com
mon in the dog days. They do not
know what to predict, except that
the weather will not be that of a
normal summer. They do not know
whether the sun is wholly to blame,
Being able to assign no other cause,
however, they rest their case on the
known fact that the sun is not be-
having normally this year.
FOrecasting Impossible
The cold spring in the United
States, unusually hot weather in Eu-
rope, unusual hurricanes in the Pa
cific, a tornado and cloudburst in
Washington, d. C.-these are all evil
dences, the scientists say, of the
unsettled conditions which make
weather forecasting well-nigh hope
less.
AS nearly as the scientific men
can explain it, what happens to
cause such conditions is this:
Every eleven years, during the 200
years covered by reliable data, the
sun has ceased developing sun
spots" These spots, which break
out on the surface of the sun like
volcanic craters on the earth, indi-
cate that the sun is working full
time, and their appearance always is
accompanied by plenty of heat and
normal meteorological conditions on
the earth.
When the sun spots do not APP
pear, the sun "cools off, and rests.
This year, for instance, it is furnish
ing the earth from three to four per
cent less heat than usual. Under
such conditions, the scientists say,
the weather on earth "just goes to
pieces" Conditions are extreme
either very hot or very cold; very
rainy or very dry; very calm or
very stormy. Storms during such
times are likely to be of unusual VIC
lence. Droughts and heat waves of
killing intensity occur.
Weather "SpOtty'
The weather also is "spotty," ac
cording to the scientists. One side
of the earth may be burning up,
while in another quarter unseason-
able snow, sleet and hail storms and
killing frosts occur.
No way has been discovered to
chart the suns vagaries so that sci.
entific men can foretell conditions.
They can only wait until the sun
ends it's loafing period. They do not
even know how long that will be.
Their predictions that it will be over
by next year are based on previous
observations

Another County Passes
Quota in Peanut Coop

ALBANY, Ga, May 5.-The fifth
county to go over the top in the
Georgia Peanut Growers Co-opera-
tive associations drive for member
ship contracts was announced Thurs
day. when Brooks county reached
its minimum quota of so per cent of
the 1922 acreage. Grady, Calhoun,
Semin>4e and Dougherty counties
had previously gone over their quo
tas.
County Chairman Charles S. Mas
sew, of Barwick, in sending in the
batch of contracts that put his coun-
ty over it's quota, said Brooks coun-
ty would not be satisfied with it's
accomplishments to date, but will
press on for a still bigger pledge,
and he expressed the belief that the
county will sign up nearly 100 per
cent of it's 1922 acreage.
Peanuts planted in Brooks coun-
tv last year for commercial purposes
totaled 2,557 acres, and the contracts
already sent to headquarters here
contain pledges for 1869 acres, or
tabout $50 per cent. There have
been 131 contracts signed in that
county to date, and the average of
the contracts is a little more than
ten acres.

RUM FLEET MAY TRANSFER
BASE TO CANADIAN WATERS

WASHINGTON, May 6.--Al-
though Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes declared there would
be no let down in prohibition en-
forcement in New York state, the
general view here was that the ac-
ton of the New York legislature in
repeating the state enforcement
code would make far more difficult
the task of federal forces.
Mr.. Haynes view was that the
action of the Legislature would mean
only that the federal government
would have to provide, in the larg-
est measure possible, agencies to
make up the loss of whatever CO.
operation may have been provided
by the state"
A chief concern of enforcement
officers was that with the state bor-
der patrol withdrawn, the rum fleet
which has been active off the New
York and New Jersey coasts might
transfer their operations to Canadian
waters in the hope of finding easy
access for their cargoes in New
York across the international Dor
der. With the active cooperation of
the coast guard service, prohibition
officials believe they were in a fair
way to cut off the major portion of
New York's present liquor supply
from the sea. Should the rum
fleet" transfer it's base to Canadian
waters it was suggested that there
might be a renewal of negotiations
