BOLL WEEv|L MEN
 IN NEAR RUPTURE
Innocent Looking Paragraph Almost Brings National
 Conference To End

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 25.-An inno- cent looking paragraph in the lengthy report. of the committee on investigation dealing with the scien- tific side of killing the boil weevil almost brought the National Boil Weevi1 Menace conference to an end late today.
 It's adoption would have taken the forming of a permanent organization out of the hands of the conference to do except to listen to persons who desired to talk on almost any subject they might brinS up.
 ' Business men who had come long distances in response to invitations to participate in the conference even tually awakened to that fact and made a fight to combat 1t. but they put up only a weak showing against the scientists and non-scientific wee vii killers.
 RansdeII Saves Day.
 It was not until Senator Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana took the lead in forceful sally against 1t that the paragraph finally was stricken from the report. The paragraph follows:
 "We recommend that the president of the convention appoint four others representing various interests in cot ton production and consumption to serve with him as a committee on perfection of a permanent organiza- tion, which committee shall be em- powered to confer with a similar committee proposed by the Associ- ation of Southern Agricultural Work CTS with a view to bringing into ex- istence permanent organization

KHAN NOT ISSUE WHEN MOORE QUIT
Grand Commander Of Scott ish Rite Masons Explains
 Alabamian'S Resignation
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD vVazbiugf0n n r 0cf OK

WASHINGTON. o. C.. Oct. 25.-John H. Cowles, grand commander of Scottish Rite Masons, today denied that the Ku Klux Klan was dts cussed at the recent meeting of the supreme council of Scottish Rite Masonry in Washington.
 Referring to the report that George F. Moore had resigned as inspector general in Alabama because of klan connections, MT. Coles stated:
 There was no discussion whatever over Brother Moore's resignation and there was no discussion at any time about the klan.
 Under our statutes, an inspector general who has served ten years, or who has removed from his jurisdic- tion, can be transferred to the em- eriti list, which relieves him of his active duties, yet he retains his membership in the council, but with out right to vote.
 When Brother Moore, who had served 16 years, preferred their re- quests to be placed on the emeriti list, a motion that the requests be granted was put and carried without discussion or remarks"

Interestedly the city commission listened to two delegations of munich pal employees, a group of firmen that packed the city council chamber, and later a similar body of police men, who appealed for further ad- vance In pay than the raise recently worked out by the board, but told the men that the city had gone the limit of possibility with the budget this year in granting an increase of s10 a month to privates and S5 to officers.
 Capt. J. F. Watkins of the fire de. partment was chief spokesman for the firemen. making an analytical ex- planation of the needs of the fire men, pointing out that the city of ficials and the public do not see the real work of the fire fighters, for that is done, In most cases, inside burning structures filled with smoke, and that if this work were viewable no man or woman in the city should oppose their pay being raised to a living wage.
 Assistant Chief A. Brown told of the costs the men must meet in support ing families on $125 a month, buy ing two uniforms, replacing uniforms and other clothing ruined at fires and
 
 minds on the changes of streets in condition and number, the placement of fire plugs and the amount of water available. He said mediocre men could not respond instantly to calls, where seconds meant the saving or loss of property and that a depert- ment in meeting his just obligations men of high type worthy Of an. in- come on which they could support families and meet their obligations.
 Capt W. H. Boggs said he had been in the fire service for 23 years and had known many years of embarrass- ment in meeting his pust obligations in the care of his family and home He said he had seen many firemen die under falling walls and from con- tact with hidden live wires, and the work the men did entitled them to the gravest consideration of their plea.
 Phase after phase of the lives led and work done by the firemen was covered in the statements the men made.
