Pierce was mutilated with an ak,

that it first was planned to dismem.

in some other way than burial.
The confessors told the sheriff of

CLARKE IS SILENT
ON CANCELLATION
OF KLAN CONTRACT

No comment was forthcoming
Wednesday from Edward Young
Clarke concerning the statement Is
sued Tuesday by DR.. H. w. Evans,
imperial wizard of the Knights of
the ku Klux Khan, announcing that
Mr.. Clarke's contract with the propo.
cation department had been can
| celled for the good of the order "
Mr.. Clarke's contract with the propa-
khan was that of imperial giant, was
reported in the city, but was out Of
his office. 1t was generally expected
he would make statement later.
Mr.. Evans said there was a
clause in Mr.. Clarke's contract,
providing for its cancellation at any
time by either party, and that his
action of Tuesday afternoon was in
line with the announcement at the
| November. 1922 klonvokation, that
Mr.. Clarke would shortly surrender
the propagation work to imperial
headquarters.
mot only has Mr.. Clarke ceased
to be an official of the knights of
the Ku Klux Khan" stated Mr.
Evans, 'but it also is true that he
no longer derives one cent of reve-
nue. from this organization"
Imperial Wizard Evans gave out
the following announcement:
Edward Young Clarke no longer
has any official connection with the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan. He
ceased to function as head Of the
former propagation department,
now the department of extension.
when I. under the authority vested
in me as imperial wizard, cancelled
the contract under which Mr..
Clarke was operating.
The propagation work has been
absorbed by imperial headquarters.
and now is being conducted from
the imperial palace under my sole
direction and control as admins
trative and executive head of the
order.
Not only has Mr. Clarke ceased
to be an official Of the Knights Of
the Ku KluX Khan. but it also is
true that he no longer derives one
cent OF revenue from this organiza-
ton. Money derived from the propa.
cation phase Of our activities now
is being turned back into the extern
sion work OF the order to it's i'm
measurable benefit.
II cancelled the contract under
which Mr.. Clarke was working, for
the good OF the order. There was
a clause in this contract which pro-
Vided that it could be terminated
at any time by either party thereto.
AT the first klonvokation, or ma
ton convention of the khan, held
in Atlanta in November, 1922, an
nouncement was made through the
press of the nation that Mr.. Clarke
would surrender the propagation
work to the imperial headquarters
within a reasonably short time.
Several months having elapsed,
1 have now acted along the lines in
Dictated by the klansmen of the ma

WILL SERVE TERM
BEFORE TAKING Up
WAR FRAUD CASES
Georgia Governor to Be Spe-
ciaI Assistant to Attorney
General, Oevoting Part Of
Time to General Practice

Governor Hardwick announced
Wednesday morning that he had
virtually accepted an appointment
from President Harding as special
assistant to the United States attor.
ney general in charge Of war fraud
prosecutions and that the depart.
ment Of justice has arranged for
him to assume his duties on July /
at the conclusion Of his term as
governor.
He stated that he had made up
his mind to resign as governor, il
necessary. in the event the appoint-
ment could not be delayed, but he
received a letter Wednesday morn
ing advising him that the. depart
ment of justice would arrange to
defer the appointment until the date
named, thereby making it unneces.
sary for him to resign.
The department. of justice has an
advisory board of lawyers in charge
of war fraud prosecutions. The
board is about equally divided be-
tween Democrats and Republicans.
Governor Hardwick will succeed a
Democrat, former United States
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, who
is preparing to resign from the
board.
To Get $4,000 Year
1t is understood that Governor
Hardwick will receive a salary Of
about $4,000, and that his duties
will not require his entire time. His
unoccupied time will be free to de.
vote to his private practice and he
stated that he will mainatin a law
office either in New York or Atlanta.
Governor Hardwick issued the
following statement:
ut is true that l have been Of
Tered and have virtually agreed to
accept an appointment with the
department of justice of the United
States.
THE position in question is spe-
cial assistant to the attorney gem
eral on the advisory board of the
war transactions section Of the de-
partment Of justice, for the inves-
LEGATION and prosecution Of fraud
cases growing out of the war.
"The appointment is strictly and
purely a professional one and the
board is bipartisan and non-politi-
cal, my immediate predecessor be-
ing former Senator Thomas, of Coli
orado, a Democrat
To Finish Term
when this offer was first made
to me l was under the impression
that it might be necessary for me
to resign the office of governor,
if I was to accept it; but 1 find,
upon further conference with. the
department of justice, that it will
not be necessary for me to resign
as governor, as l can take up the
duties of this appointment on July
1, next. My services. as governor
end on June 30th.
AT an early date ! shall go to
Washington for a consultation with
my colleagues in the department of
justice, and l hope to be able to
begin my services there on July 4.
"Since the position does not re-
Quire all of my time, L win also
maintain a law office either in New
York or Atlanta. My plans have
not fully matured as yet, but the
matter of most concern to the pub
lie is that l will not resign as gov
ernor"

Stomach Troubles
Are Due to Acidity
Tells Safe, Certain. Speedy Relief For
Acid Ind iqestlon.

So-called stomach troubles. such as
ind geston. gas. sOurness, stomach ache
and inability TO retain food are, In
probably nine cases out OF ten, simply
evidence that excessive secretion OF
acid IS taking place in the stomach
causing the formation Of gas and acid
indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and causes
that fun. oppressive. burning feeling
sometimes known as heartburn. while
the acid irritates and infiames the deli
cate lining Of the stomach. The trou-
bic lies entirely In the excess develop
ment or secretion OF acid.
To stop or prevent this souring OF the
food contents OF the stomach and TO
neutralize the acid. and make 70 bland
and harmless. a teaspoonful Of Bsu-
rated Magnesia. a good and effective
corrector Of acid stomach should he
taken IN a quarter OF a glass OF hot or
cold water after eating or whenever
gas souuess or acidity Is felt This
sweetens the stomach and neutralizes
the acidity in a few moments and is a
perfectly harmless and inexpensive
remedy to use.
An antiacid. such as Bisurated Mag
nesia, which can be obtained from any
druggist In either powder or tablet
form. enables the stomach 10 do its
work properly without the aid Of arti-
fetal digestents. Magnesia comes in
several forms, so be certain TO ask for
and take only Bisurated Magnesia.

above purpose.
