BY the Associated Press.

atlanta, Ga, April 9.-In a state
ment dictated from his sick bed, and
read to his congregation in the Cen
tral Baptist Church here last night
by j. o. Wood, DIR. Caleb Ridley,
imperial kludd Irrational chaplain), of
the ku Klux Khan, denied that L. Y.
Clarke or Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler Grow
were in any way responsible for the
movement TO restore w. j. Simmons
to the office of imperial wizard of the
klan.
DIR. Ridley's statement was made in
answer TO a statement by ii. w.
Evans, imperial wizard. who charged
that Clarke and Mrs. Grow were re-
sponsible for the attempt of Simmons
to displace DR.. Evans, which attempt,
through the courts resulted in an or
der by Judge f. ID. Thomas placing
Simmons, Evans and j. NJ. George,
municipal court marshal, in charge of
| the organization as a governing
tribunal until final settlement can be
made.
DIR. Ridley, asserting his close
friendship with Mrs. Grow and Clarke.
both of whom were once connected
with the propagation department of
the khan. declared they were not impli-
Gated in the recent upheaval of the
Hans affairs. He attacked the per-
sonal and professional record of DIR.
Evans, and declared that, after the
election of Evans to be imperial
wizard. Evans went to Mrs. Grow
embraced her and baptized her with
his tears of gratitude for contributing
to his advancement and elevation in
life.
Calls Evans Perfidious.
Reciting the part Clarke played In
asking the klonvocation TO confer the
imperial wizardship on DR.. Evans. re-
fusing it himself, Or. Ridley concluded
by setting forth that there is no
darker page of perfidy in the record
of humn< relations than the conspir-
acy of H. W. Evans to crush f. Y.
Clarke and to drive him out of tho
knights of the Ku Klux Klan and
make him an exile and wanierer on

the purpose of diverting the thought
