clared William j. Simmons, found
er and emperor of the khan, here
today.
Evans. imperial wizard, for the
time being of the khan, " evident
ly invaded Pennsylvania bristling
with guns and daggers and his

Simmons charged that gunmen
IN the imperial palace of the klan

lessness, which at the present time
are breaking out in deeds of law

Raps Bearing Arms

Continuing Simmons said:
"There is no man connected with
the Knights of the Ku kluX Klan
whether in high position or in low,
who can undertake to safeguard
his goings and comings before the
American people and enforce his
rights, either supposed or imaginary,
by demonstration of arms, and at
the same time claim the right of
peaeeable assembly or any other
right guaranteed to American cit
izens under the constitution.
"a company of men, purporting
to represent any cause, however
patriotic or christian, invading a
sovereign state and bearing arms,
is challenge to the police power
and to the self respecting American
citizens of their state to restrain
them and to resist them.
.'If such company is carrying the
name and the insignia of klansmen
they are not only in the position
of forfeiting American citizenship
but they have also at the same time
forfeited all rights in the knights
of the Ku Klux Klan.
Says Klan Degenerating
- AS founder and emperor of the
knights of the Ku Klux Klan |
wish to say to the American ma
ton that there is nothing in the
fundamental principle of the order
and nothing in the code of conduct,
which | have prescribed for klans-
men, to justify, or even to ex-
tenuate, the defiance of properly
constituted authority.
Lawlessness under my admins
tration has always been suppressed
and severely penalized, if even by
implication single member of the
order or khan or realm were
connected with the deed.
.'But the stabilizing element of
thoughtful, conservative, peace low
ing and law abiding men that l
built into the order are all gone
or are going. This great American
ORGANIZATION Ids u az 'AiN
top and is now being so directed
that all the fundamental principles
are being subverted and all the
original purposes are being thwart-
ed.
alt is lamentable beyond the
power of words to utter, that a
good man and klansman was kill
ed and other reputable and worthy
citizens injured. My heart goes out
in tender sympathy to their loved
ones.
at is especially a matter of
shame and of regret, which l can
not put in anv form of speech, that
the tragedy should have occurred IN
the presence and under the leader
ship of Hiram c. Wesley Evans, inn
perial wizard, Ku Klux Klan, for
the time being.

B|G TIME KEITH VAUDEVILLE AGAIN
Lyric Opens Monday With a Variety Of High-CIass
 Productions

Big time Keith vaudeville returns to Birmingham Monday, and theatre goers will find this welcove diver sion at It's popular playhouse. the Lyric. throughout the winter. After a Summer of presentation of Broad way successes by the cleverest resi- dent company ever seen here, the Lyric has been closed for a week, while artists have been redecorating the lobby and other sections Of the theatre. New draperies have been hung, and the Lyric will be fresh and attractive place when 1t reopens tomorrow with an excellent vaude- vile bill, a criterion of the programs which will be offered throughout the winter.
 For headliner one of the biggest acts in vaudeville will be presented This Is Billie Shaw and company of 10 in vaudeville's smartest revue of youthful talent. Miss Shaw is one of the most beautiful and accom- plished dancers on the stage today and among her assistants are Joseph inc La Voie, Lester Lane and Barrie Oliver.
 Billie Shaw Is most unusual per son.t She writes so well that her stories frequently find their way into magazines. Artists declare her fig ure perfect and so she is In constant demand as a model. She dances SC well that she has become one of vaudeville's terpsichorean topnotch- CTS. She has enough managerial ability to sponsor other dance pro- auctions than her own and she Is such good director that she pre- duces these acts herself. In other words, Billie Shaw Is exceptionally versatile and exceptionally clever.
 The second place on the program Is Joe Whitehead. the famous musical comedy star. MT. Whitehead calls his act the added attraction, bunch of squirrel food. MT. Whitehead is a comedian Gf the first rank and his act shows why.
 The special feature Is more laugh producing stuff. The producers of the stuff are Miller and Rothrock, a pair of character comedians, who have wide reputation.
 To round out the bill, Ethel Mac Donough presents her satire on wGm- en's foibles, "Milday's Busy Day." and Amy Dean does some stunts under the heading. "A Nifty Surprise" Screen comedies and news reels round out the program.

 At Theatre Here

Motion picture fans who have been clamoring for real entertainment will find 1t, 1t is claimed, In Edwin Carewe's plcturizatton of "The Girl Of the Golden West" a First Ma tional production, showing at the Trianon theatre this week.
 Prior to it's adaptation to the screen, "The Girl of the Golden Vest was David Belasco's most suc- cessful stage play, a best seller among novels and the first American grand opera aria.
 J. Warren Kerrlgan returns to the screen to play Ramerrez, the bandit, and gives good reason for his great popularity. while Sylvia Breamer has been cast as the girP' and delivers remarkable performance, 1t is re- ported. Russell Simpson, the sher- if, is recreating the role he made famous on the stage admirably, and Wilfred Lucas, as Ashby, Rosemary Theby as Nina, and the various sup porting characters are we'll played, 1t is said.
 ",rhe Girl of the Golden West" Is gambling story, with the mining diggings and miners of the '49 gold rush as background. It travels fast and 1t leaves one thoroughly en- tertained and satisfied. its producers claim.
