ORGANIZATION Of
KNIGHTS KA|ME:L|A
HALTED BY COURT

The William y. Simmons faction
of the ku Klux Khan is enjoined
from proceeding further with the
organization of the knights Of
Kamelia in temporary restraining
order signed late Thursday by Judge
John d. Humphries on petition of
tie Hiram w. Evans. faction.
The petition, a lengthy document,
alleges that Emperor Simmons on
June G secured a charter in the state
of Oklahoma for the organization of
the knights of Kameiia as an order
separate and distinct from the khan.
1t makes charges to the effect that
Colonel Simmons has appropriated
for the Kamelia the secret rituals,
PHILOSOPHERS, costumes and other
paraphernalia created by him specifi-
cally for the khan and owned by the
khan under copyright. ~ ss
Named as defendants are Emperor
Simmons, Rev. Caleb Ridley, former
imperial kludd of the order; J. o.
Wood, editor of the Searchlight;
Henry j. Norton, w. H. Lathrop,
Jr., William G. Thompson. E.. J..
Jones, Thomas H. Kight, c. w.
Bosom, N. H. Moore and the knights
of Kan1elia.
Four KhOranic Degrees
A section of the original constitu.
ton of the khan is introduced, speci-
flying that the four Kloranic. or ritz
alistic orders OR degrees of the khan
should be as follows:
"The Order of Citizenship or
K-Uno.
Knight of Kamel.a or K-Duo (the
primary order of knighthood.
"The knights of the Great For.
est or K4Trio Che order of southern
chivalry).
1.-THE knights of the Midnight
Mystery or K-Quad (the superior or
der of knighthooO.
The petition also cites section 4
of the new constitution adopted by
the Klonvocation last November,
specifying the duties of the emperor
as follows:
''0Those several orders of klannish
achievement and kloranic advance
ment shall be communicated, and
their kloranic regulations, require.
ments and governments shall be es-
tablished and promulgated by and
in the discretion of the emperor Of
this order in the embodiment of it's
PHILOSOPHERS and in the revelation
of its spiritual mysteries"
Simmons Right Attacked
The petition alleges that each of
the four kloranic degrees is a part
of the Ku Klux Khan and in no way
separate except in the individual
philosophers, teachings and secret
mysteries; and that while the con-
stitution gives Emperor Simmons
the right to promulgate the secrets
of Kamelia it in no way authorizes
him to set up the Kamelia as a
separate and distinct order from the
khan, under his own control and d.
rection.
