Grows Will Pick Up Human Speech.
Nearly all the true crows, as well as
many Of their near relatives, will pick
up more or less of human speech in
captivity; and it is sometimes hard
to believe that the slyness with which
they invest their remarks, their apt
ness and information, are altogether ac-
cidental.

Kleasle Says 100000

COURTS HAVE CASE

A split between the Texas Knights
of the Ku Klux Khan, said to number
100 600 and the Atlanta headquarters
will result if the courts perpetuate
the injunction obtained by Emperor
William j. Simmons against Imperial
Wizard w. II. Davis, according TO
George W. Keeling, grand kleagle fer
Texas. The emperor and the wizard
are now engaged in litigation for con-
troll OF the khan. Mr.. Keeling had
previously stated. while in San An
tonic Thursday that Texas was the
bulwark of the khan.
1T is my opinion that should the
courts perpetuate the injunction OF
Colonel William J. Simmons and his
followers against Imperial Wizard H.
W. Evans, that the Texas organiza-
tons will secede from the national or
of the Knights of the ku
Klux Klan," Mr.. Keeling said.
325 Locals in Texas.
There are approximately 100000
klansmen in the realm of Texas, COM
posing approximately 325 chartered To-
cal -klans. 1t is my belief that vast
majority Of these members stand
behind Imperial Wizard
Evans in his controversy at Atlanta.
1t is test of whether this fraternal
organization shall be democratic i'm

Mr.. Keeling expressed the belief
that the courts will sustain the I'M
perial wizard in the contest with
" Emperor" Simmons. He said Evans
holds office by virtue of constitutional
and emphasizes the fact that
1t was at the request Of Colonel Sim
mons, himself. that an election was
held, as the former wizard was run
down in health.
Not Trying to Dominate.
"As n matter Of fact" Keeling said,
there has never been disposition
on the part of Texas TO dominate the
"kloncilium- or imperial headquar-
ters. He pointed out that Wizard
Evans was nominated by the Indiana
delegation last November.
The present "imperial' squabble at
Atlanta. according to Keeling, was
caused by the endorsement of "Em-
peror" Simmons of a woman's auxil-
ary organization known as the Kane
la. Keeling asserted that the organi-
,ation last November went on rec
ord as being unwilling to endorse
women's khan for the reason that
here were several organizations al
ready functioning and the "kloncil-
um" decided it would be better to at
Tempt an amalgamation of these sew
,ral bodies before any one was en-
iorsed.

HERR|N RIOT
INDICTMENTS
THROWN OUT
All Remaining Cases Nolle
Pressed After Six
Acquitted.
NO JUSTICE is CLAIM
Prosecution Says No Pen
alties Possible in VIII
hanson County.
NO JUSTICE IS CLAIM
By the Associated Press.

Marion, ILL.,, April 7--All the untried
criminal indictments growing out OF
the Herrin riots were nolle pressed
today following the acquittal by a
Jury last night of six defendants
charged with murder in connection
with the outbreak.
The request that the indictments be
nolled was made in court this morning
BY Delos Duty, states attorney OF
Williamson county.
Mr.. Duty remarked that, while he
felt strongly that a crime had been
committed, he felt that further prose
cutions were useless and a needless
expense to the people 4, the county.
Judge Hartwell then entered the
order nolle pressing all of the in
dictments.
The following statement was given
by Prosecutor Middlekauff at the re-
quent of Attorney General f. J. Brun-
dsge.
No Justice, He Says.
"The prosecution is reluctantly
obliged to admit that justic, cannot be
obtained in Williamson county. No
impartial jury can be secured TO try
the men responsible for the murder OF
score of men at Herrin last June,
Tho llw. coIu-els III, si5re. 30 pctsr,
eciite hf the county where the crime
was committed and, for five months,
the prosecution has vainly striven to
secure a conviction.
Witnesses, at great risk OF per-
sonal violence, have courageously tes-
titled to what they beheld on that
fatal day, only to be impeached By
witnesses who plainly were interested
in the defense, and who clearly were
testifying falsely. Two juries have
returned verdicts of acquittal regard
less of the evidence.
Intimidation Is Charged.
Intimidation, prejudice or down.
right dishonesty actuated t.em. Under
the rulings of the trial court, when
jurymen were being examined, any
man who admitted he had an opinion
as to whether the massacre OF the
disarmed and helpless strip miners
was lawful or unlawful, was diquali-
fled for jury service.
I'm my opinion. this ruling is not
the law of Illinois. One the other
hand, men contributing to the defense
fund, voluntarily or otherwise, have
been held to be competent jurors. but,
in my view of the law. such men are
hot competent jurors.

New Dance Record

Fox Trots IS Hours

New York. April 7.-Miss Ruth
Holleck and Jack Butler today
broke all known records for con-
tinuous dancing. At 6:47 O'Clock
this morning they had fox trotted
and waltzed 80 hours.
But they did not stop then. al
though blistered feet aud tired bod
les were an inducement to do so.
They announced YEARLY to a sleepy
gallery in an uptown jazz palace
that they would quit at 9:4I, max
ing a record of SO hours.
The orchestra succumbed to sleep
during the early morning hours
but the photograph took up the
burden. Lemonade, water, near
beer and chocolates kept the pair
dancing.
