Shippers to Ask
Five Million for
Altamaha River

MACON Ga, June 24.-Work Will
begin Immediately on the Inaugural
ton of a campaign to raise $1,000
among business interests along the
Altamaha system Of rivers which
will be spent in an intensive cam
paign by the A1tamaha River Sys-
tenn association in its effort to have

IS 600, 600 over a period of five years
for the mproVement OF these rivers.
The members of the executive com
mittee of the association, who held

one-third of the people in the state
would be affected and benehtted IL

condition. 1t would mean the saving
of millions of dollars in transporta-
ton rates to merchants and ship
and cities located on and near these
streams. Three hundred and sixty
five miles of waterway will be open
ed if the project is contaminated.
At the present time, only $32'ooo
is appropriated for all three rivers
a sum not large enough to keep
snaSs out of the rivers. There are
thirtv.four counties identified with
the river system association and
business men in these counties VIII

TEXAS KLANSMEN
SEVER TIES WITH
ATLANTA LEADERS

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, June %
The San Antonio Ku Klux Khan and
scores of other local khan organiza-
tions in Texas have adopted resolu-
tons breaking with the Atlanta
headquarters of the khan and decid-
ing to withhold all money, reports
and other information from the At
lanta officers until some order is
brought out of the chaos into
which the national organization has
been thrown by reason of the con-
tests for control of the khan.
This was admitted today by
George w. Keeling, kleagle for Tex
as, who declared that the local klans-
men and representative from other
klanS. in the state have demanded
certain concessions from headQuar-
tiers and certain changes in the khan
constitution. He declared the klanS-
men'of this state will no longer send
their money to Atlanta, where there
is a squabble as to who will spend
1t, and asserted that the present
leaders of the khan had brought
about no constructive work on the
part of the khan, and in some in
stances. had. sought to make a po-
litical organization out of a religious
and Christian body of men.
He also said that an invitation had
been sent to the imperial state and
province officers to come to San An
tonic Tuesday and show cause why
the resolution adopted by the klans-
men would not stand. Whether the
wiz T6 hn
ton he said, he did not know.
The resolution in part provides
fer:
THE purging of the present
regime and removal of all friction.
such changes in the constitution
that will make same comply with
Democratic ideals and principles,
namely, that:
The military character of the
order be changed to comport with
Democratic principles, the local unit
to be the basis of representation;
the election of officers to graduate
from the local unit to the imperial
wizard; adjustment of the imperial
khan; make pledges of loyalty to
principles instead of title and indi-
viduals; reduction of per capita
taxes to the minimum, only 81 of
which shall go to headquarters, ees-
sation of the extOrtionate charges
for supplies"
A copy of the resolution, the eff
feet of which lis to withdraw the
Texas sKlansmen from the national
organization, was sent to the impe-
rial wizard along with an invitation
to attend a. meeting in San Antonio
Tuesday next ''to defend under par
lianentary usage according to Rob
erts Rules of Order, your positions
as to why the demands set forth in
the inclosed resolution shall not pre-
vail.''
