 Name Of Hooded Order,
 Adopted After Verbal Bat ] tie Over Two Measures KENDRICK CHARGES VETS WITH PUSSY FOOTING" lE. w. Whitney Of Oklahoma < Accuses Press Of Nation : With Trying To Split Con- ! vention On Question of Klan

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, oct.1S.-A swerbal battle over pro-Ku Klux Klan and anti-Klan resolutions, in which the press of the country was charged with trying to split the American fLegion over the Klan question, ragged for several hours at the fourth days session of the fifth annual American Legion convention here, resulting in the adoption of the rNdichigan" anti-klan resolution which avoids using the name of the hoded order.
 A total of sss delegates made il ! known that the Legion objects to \ the klan order, 1t will not denounce I it through a resolution which calls spade a spade. With equal force I 1t voted down a resolution the Okla homa delegates introduced to off set a denunciatory resolution offer ed by Charles F. Hendricks of San Francisco.
 How It Reads.
 The resolution which was carried by roar of ayes to the cry of q score of noes" were as follows:
 Resolved by the American Legion in national convention assembled that we consider any individual i group of individuals, or organiza- ton which creates or fosters racial religious of class strife among our people or which takes into their own hands the enforcement of law, deter animation of guilt or infliction of punishment, to be un-American, a menace to our liberties and destruc- tive of our fundamental law and be it further I& Vd organizations to be inconsistent with the ideals and purposes of the Amer iican Legion"
 I The Lost ResoIution.
 The KendriclS resolution which was lost on a roll call vote S15 to 142 i with s6 not voting, was as follows Resolved, that the Ku Klux Klan is on argonization which is destruc- 'tive to American principles and | ideals. and is unfair to hundreds of thousands of our comrades in arms during the World war. This con vention, therefore, most unequivocal- ly denounces the Ku Klux Klan as being an un-American organization and unworthy of membership by loyal American citizens"
 Major Hendricks cast lone bal lot for his own resolution in the California delegation, the other S6 delegates voting no" The Okla homa resolution which was voted down, was submitted by E. w. Whit ney of Oklahoma, who stated he was a member of the klan. The resolu- ition follows:
 N "Whereas the constitution of the American Legion recognizes of the snembers thereof to their own free opinion in matters of religion and politics, and,

WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE HERALD n C nn4 10 |

President Coolidge, having dis played an adeptness in getting from under propositions of seeming em- barrassing possibilities, is preparing to refer to the governors of the sev- eral states responsibility for the en- forcement of the eighteenth amend ment
 The President, as is recalled, gave mia the duty of settling the anthra- cite coal strike. He gave to Samuel Req, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, the problem of rate reduc- tion for the benefit of farmers. There is a direct indication today that he will ask the governors in the confer ence Saturday to enforce prohibition and thus make them the goats" in the event that immediate improve ment does not ensue.
 Back To School Days.
 It was first understood that the President would ask Governor Bran don of Alabama and his associates to advise the President what he should do in order that the situation stood that the governors will not be asked to express themselves. On the contrary they will be gathered to- gether as if they were school boys and informed by the President and his spokesh1en as to what they should do.
 In other words, the President, in- stead of agreeing with Governor Pin

 Roy A. Haynes, federal prohibition commissioner, who holds his job by the suffrance of the President, issues today statement highly significant of what is to follow. He declares that the enforcement of prohibition lies primarily on municipalities, sec ondary on counties, thirdly on states, and fourthly on the federal govern ment. This is in accordance with the old local option theory which prohi- bitionists rejected despite the claim of their opponents that it was demo- cratic and practical
