MAIL TOEUROPE IS| BEING DELAYED BY| EXHAUSTED FUNDSI
New Appropriation Will Not Be Available Until
 July l

WASHINGTON, June 23. - Parcel post and some first class mail to Europe from the United States will be held up and subjected to delays until July 1 because of exhaustion of postoffice funds. announces Post master General New.
 The appropriation to the postoffice department of ss,50o.000 for this pur- pose is now exhausted, New ssid. and delays in the sending of parcel post packages and some first class mall until funds of the 1924 appropriations are available July 1 will result.
 "The postoffice department has been very much embarrassed because of lack of funds,'' New said, due to the fact that the appropriations were insufficient to cover an in creased volume of business tc Europe These certain funds are now exhaust ed and thers will be delays. How serious the delays will be I cannot say, but we are doing everything possible to overcome tho difficulty. There probably will be delay of one ship, for instance, before the 1921 appropriation will be available"
 The postoffice department believes the unexpected volume of mail to Europe that has exhausted the funds for this business has been due to a greater interest by Americans in for eign business

Harding's World Court Speech
 ToDriue Proleagures From Him

ed one suggestion that the court elect it's own judges and thus become q f-perpetUating body. This will be rejected sharply by the Senate, which will never relinquish the right of the United States to vote directly in filling vacancies on the court.
 The St. Louis speech has intro- duced many new difficulties which are likely to delay final action on the proposal. It Is certain that democrats will dc considerable heck ling when the matter comes before the Senate. They will insist upon knowing whether foreign nations will accept the changes suggested think these will be acceptable to the Europe.
 Harding will carry practically all of the republicans with him, except perhaps LaFelette, Brookhart and a handful of others. Lodge, Borah, Ill., ram Johnson. Moses, Mccormick and Watson will be able to bring all re- publican factions together. But If one-third of the democrats decide to oppose the anti-league changes the proposition will be doomed.
 This. however, will enable Harding to shift the responsibility for re- jection to the democrats and go Into the campaign with his party united on the question. From that point of view, Harding played at shrewd politics. But he has left the way Gren for critics to accuse him of backing away from hls original plan and proposing something en- tirely different

MAYOR SIMS OF ATLANTA TO BE ONE OF COUNSEL
Emperor States That Evans Has No Authority To Interfere With His Plans Regarding Organization Proposed

ATLANTA, Ga, June 23.-William Joseph Simmons, emperor of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Is pre- ton of the Knights of Kamelia, de- spite the injunction proceedings launched Friday by the ylan. he de- clared In a statement given out here today in reply to the latest move in the complexity of litigations In klan affairs.
 It was announced that Mayor Wal ter A. Sims of Atlanta would be leading counsel in the fight over the Knights of Kamelia.
 Another development of the day was the setting of Friday, June 2s. as the date for a hearing In the re- ceivership proceedings against the Ku Klux Klan filed last month by David M. Rittenhouse of Philadelphia and others, In which H. W. Evans, imperial wizard; William J. Simmons, emperor. and members of the klon- cileum, are named as defendants. The petition for the reoeivership charged gross mismanagement of klan funds by Imperial Wizard Evans i.nd de- clared the officials of the order had turned 1t Into personal machine for the enrichment and aggrandlxement" of themselves,
 In his statement Emperor Simmons declared the effort of H. w. Evans to "enjoin mo from establishing the Knights of Kamedia" is only another attempt to prevent the carrying out of my original purpose and plan to perfect an organization of native. white American citizens of Protest ant faith" He said nothing shall deter me from striving to keep my pledges to the American people and completing the great organization that I founded for the protection of American principles and the preserva- tion of American ideals"
 Mir. Simmons said he wished 1t un- derstood that H, W. Evans has roth- ing to do with Knights of Kamella He hes no authority for interfering s with the order from without and he cannot be admitted to membership from within." said the statement ble to membership in Knights of Ka- melia may explain his motive In an- tagonizing the order.
 Tt Is in response to the clamor of klansmen from every section of the Invisible Empire that I am founding the order of Knights of Kamelia and that hundreds of thousands of klans- men in state of revolt against the of H. W. Evans may be restrained In their movement towards secession and may be saved to the great organization as 1t was originally planned and promulgated"
 MT. Simmons declared this was his last effort ito save the order from total and permanent disruption"
 Emperor Simmons announced plans to proceed next week to Texas and following that would visit also Kan sas, Oklahoma and Missouri In the in- terest of the Knights of Kamelia.
