 KIansman At Large
 Then, having taken the obliga- tion, Governor Walton was a klans- man at large, isn't that true?"
 "Yes, sir. Now that is predicated upon his having this obligation. Gov ernor Walton denies it, MT. Coburn, other men affirm 1t, and the records will prove their affirmation. There have been some written records pub 1 lished about it, I don't know of my personal knowledge because I don't know Jack Walton, but I will say he was taken in the back door, and think, if he is 8 klansman, he ought to be removed before the eyes l and the scrutiny of the American public through their front door" Then, If he was taken in the back 1 door, the kleag1e who took him in was not attending to his business? Isn't that right?"
 q don't approve of his selection of material, but that is not an answer to the question" Dr. Evans was again asked by his | Y. Clarke and the amount of money in the lSlan treasury when suit was l filed by William J. Simmons, em- peror. last January.
 1 He replied that there was about ! s337,000, but did not have the exact ent suit was filed. he said there was about s400,000. and at the time the deposition was taken about $700 ,00o pr. Evans said that he saw a copy ! of a resolution passed by klansmen in Texas instructing members to re- frain from contact with Atlanta headquarters, but the resolution never reached him. He said he knew of only one klan that had passed a reso- lution about withdrawing and with holding money, from headquarters, and that this was the San Antonio 1 klan, but that it rescinded the reso- lution within 30 days. He was asked about 8 similar reso- l lution said to have been passed by the Oklahoma klans at Tulsa, but said he never had seen any such resolution.
 After being questioned about the bank accounts and various safety de- posit boxes he was asked: Doctor, | you drew out S16.000 in S1,000 bills through the Federal Reserve bank when you went out to see about some l paper publication, didn't you? May fields Weekly?"
 "No, sir, never paid Mayfield's Weekly a dollar in the world for any paper or character of work"
 But the klan did?" "No, sir"
 The klan ordered how many copies of Mayffelds paper?"
 T don't think we ever bought a copy up to now in the history of the klan. I have no knowledge of any payment of any kind having been made to Mayfield's Weekly by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan."
 Did you take any money out there to them?"
 NO, sir; I know I carried no money to them"

tween his last days and those of Frederick ITS in that both came into brief power with the sentence of death pronounced upon them.
 The last phase and deciding factor of MT. Bonar Laws illness was an attack of pneumonia, which his en- feebled frame had not the vitality to resist. The approaching end was re- vealed only to the few who were able to read last nights bulletin, which was issued after the evening papers were published. To the general pub lie the news this morning was un- expectedly sudden.
 5A Premier Baldwin, the friend and lpo1itica1 legatee of MT. Bonar Law, spoke the kindest thought of all his friends in saying: For him I am thankful he has been spared further suffering"
 Was Broken Man.
 The short speech Mir. Bonar Law made at the Unionist party confer ence, which decided decided to with draw form the Lloyd George coali- tion a year ago, was uttered with difficulty. His voice almost failed on occasions during his last appear ance in tke house of commons and it was evedent then that he was a broken man, making fight against pain. @
 No effect upon British politics or policies from MT. Bonar Laws death can be forseen. His successor, like Presid nt Coolidge, has appeared to regard himself as trustee of the for mer leaders estate. The country had become regretfully reconciled to the belief that MT. Bonar Law had dis appeared from putlic life without the possibility of returning. It is too early for British commentators to appraise the value of his services or the exact weight he pulled in the gov erEment boat during the war.
 MT. Bonar Law was ereaited with being one of the inner circle who ar ranged the substitution of MT. Lloyd Georges coalition :or Herbert H. Asquith' s; his word was the decisive one for his return to the old-fash- toned party government when the unionists determi@ed that coalitions

 Speakers Sent There.
 ''That was 8 speaking campaign for Oklahoma, a campaign for that kind of law in Oklahoma, and that speakers be sent there and that we build up the sentiment for law en- forcement and obedience to law in Oklahoma on the part of people, and that the proper kind of law be en- acted to protect the citizenry of that state and to aid in law enforcement, and we go our own full length to con- tribute to that aim and end in the state of Oklahoma"
 Then propaganda was issued against Governor. Walton?"
 Not particularly, no sir"
 Tn carrying out your plans?"
 "No, sir, the idea was the governor had said this kind of thing was hap pening and the idea was to stop any such thing happening In Oklahoma. no more than to say that because of the fact that we are perfectly willing to get behind the law officers at Macon and aid them in the flogging situation, that we are starting g fight on the governor of Georgia.

 How many other campaigns in different states has the executive committee authorized the expenditure of money in?"
 Helped Other states.
 T don't know how many states. Wherever 1t has been necessary to take care of the interest of the klan or klansmen I have tried to do SO. Now there are forty-o odd states in this union and wherever the cause for which we serve, and the institu- tion we belong to. need help, we help them if we can.
 There are no political campaigns with us. We don't get behind men in politics, we are for principles; we get behind principles" Dr. Evans and E. Y. Clarke got four fifths of the money turned into the propagation fund during the time he was in charge of that department and turned one-fifth into the klan.
 Dr. Evans denied that he ever had handled the state in Illinois, In which the plaintiffs have charged in an affidavit introduced yesterday, that he had split fees with P. G. Christy, grand dragon of that state,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-10-31

| T never split anything with MT. Christy," he said.
 Has the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, since you have been imperial wizard, participated in or furnished any money to any political campaign anywhere that you know off" he was asked.
 "No sir was the reply. He was questioned again about the Asheville meeting, at which the Okla homa situation was discussed, ano declared that he would not make or allow to be made any appropriation for any political campaign and at his request he stated his reason why he believed it was necessary for the klan to take a stand for an nti-flogging law in Oklahoma.
 Sees Enemies Active.
 "The enemies of the Ku Klux Klan," he said, have steadily tried to convict the klan in the mind Of the nation of being lawless, law breaking, whipping. tar and feath- ering piece of machinery. When, as matter of fact, under solemn oath, on the contrary we have sworn to support the law on all occasions. When I saw the statement of the Oklahoma situation to the effect that there had been 2,500 whippings out there. 1 thought and believed If they
  that an institution, every member or which was sworn to uphold the offl- cers of the law in the proper per- formance of their duty, ought to take stand for law and against whip pings anywhere at any time.
 He then said that the executive committee at the Asheville metine agreed to put on a campaign of edr'- cation in Oklahoma with lecturers acquainted with the state and to bring about peace and harmony In the state. The money spent in Okla homa, he declared, was spent TOT this purpose only.
 was Governor Walton hu Klux?" he was asked.
 well, no, not exactly. Governor Walton applied and was obligated partially or fully"
 MT. Etheridge asked; Do you know that of your own knowledge"
 q will give it the way 1t was t4Io @ to me by an agent of the klan. He was obligated by an agent Of the lllan. They sent in his fees and the kIansmen where he lived didn't want him, didn't. believe in him; so he was not taken into the klaven and has al ways been in the attitude Of having been obligated but not affiliated"
 MT. Coburn then took up the ques- tioning.
 "Doctor. in taking klansman where the klan is not chartered, they are taken in by kleages merely by obligation and dedication, isn't that true?"
 'Yes, sir"
 "Then they are klansmen when they are obligated?
 well, under that, what I would say. I would hold that this man Walton. if he proved the fact that he had been obligated, since he de- nies 1t, I would hold that he was a kiansman at large until such time

Alkali In Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free aka Ii. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
 The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use.
 Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mul- sified in cup or glass with a little warm water is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply fnoisten the hair with water and rub the Muisifed in. It makes an abund- ance of rich, creamy lather. which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves the scalp soft. and the hair fine and silky, bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy to manae.
 You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it is very cheap. and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified.
