Lending his voice to the position taken by Mir, Bryan. Representative Garrett declared the Klan was a tenn porary thing that would disappear in a few years unless it continued to re- ceive undue publicity by political con- Fentions. He argued that since con- gross cannot legisate on the matter it would be futile for the democratic party to recognize it in it's platform; that 1t is a question for styles to regu- late by prohibiting the wearing of II asks.
 charge that the klan had dis rupted the social, religious and politi- cal life in Maine was made by w. R. PatianEall, the member from that state He insisted that the klan be named.
 Senator Owen of Oklahoma told the committee that to mention the Ku hluX klan in the platform would ruin Alfred E. Smith as a candidate and abolish McAdoo.
 He asserted that in his state the klan was fading away and that the same condition obtained in other southern states
 The discussion became so general that the five minute rule was abol- lshed an there was an agreement that the time should he limited 10 $ min utes for proponents and 30 minutes for opponents, but this agreement later was abrogated and debate be- came unlimited. About this time one member of the committee said he had come from his delegation instructed to vote for a resolution naming the klan and urged that a solution be arrived at before daylight.
 Hell, it's daylight now" exclaimed another committeeman.
 This sentiment. at least. found gem era support and soon afterward the committee adjourned.

BEN FROM THE EGG
And Not the Egg From the Hen. Says
 Chicago Scientist

Chicago, June 2S-A question of the ages has been settled.
 "The hen comes from the egg and not the egg from the hen." said Prof. Conrad F.. Tharaldscn of the depart ment of zoology of Northwestern uni- Versity, in an address on "Heredity" to summer school students today.
 The hen carries new germ cells which produce other eggs and pre- sumably new hens" he said, but all hark back to the original germ cell, which we call zygote. It's the same in human beings-the person dies but the germ cell lives on in a circuit as complete as eternity"

Woodrow Wilson, contending to the
 last for repetition of the 1920 | declaration calling for immediate
 American membership in the league. The former war secretary prepared 1 rough draft Of minority report, but when the committee adjourned he | had not reached final decision as to whether he would take his fight to the convention. The plank finally approv- ed showed several important changes from draft submitted by a sub-com- mittee which had been entrusted with the task of writing the declaration on the basis of various proposals. Three Proposals.
 Three klan blanks were taken un- der consideration. One by Bryan omitted the name of the invisible empire; second, which was a com- posite draft of the suggestions of sev- eral of the anti-klan leaders, de- Eounced the klsn by name, and the third, which was presented by the member from Alabama, referred to the Know Nothing Party recalled that the democrats had denounced that organization in 1856, and de- clared that there was no reason now why it should not specifically oppose the ku klux klan.
 The composite plank. which had the support of majority in the plat form committee says:
 We condemn political secret so- cieties of all kinds as opposed to the exercise of free government and contrary to the spirit, if not to the letter of the constitution. No mem- Der of such society can justly claim to be a disciple of Thomas Jefferson.
 We therefore pledge the demo- cratic party 10 oppose the efforts of the Ku Klux klan or any similar or ganization that interferes with po- litical freedom or religious liberty or which engenders racial projudiccs."
 The devotion of the democratic party to religious freedom as guar anteed under the constitution is re- affirmed in the Bryan plank which makes no specific mention of the klan.
 With these three blanks before them the members of the committee decided to follow the same procedure as in the debate on the league. al- lotting five minutes to each speaker with the exception of Bryan and Rep rNsentative r. I, Garrett, Of Tennessee, the party leader in the house, who were voted as much time as they might care to take.
 Bryan's Klan Views.
 Opening the debate, Bryan said he ! did not believe the klan was a neces- sary or q permanent organization and that if left alone 1t would be forgot . ton four years from now. He added that the inclusion of the name Of the invisible empire in the platform would result in the wrecking of the demo- cratic party.
 If the klan is named, Mir. Bryan said, tho democratic party will cease To exist as a political entity and will go 10 the country with religion as the chief issue.
 Joseph A, Kellogg. the member from New York. argued that the issue would moi be dolgcd and that the llan should he named. If tho party aid moi name it, he said, the people N ould feel that democracy is afraid ,f if.

ANOTHER ALL NIGHT:
 PLATFORM MEETING
This Morning KIan Cloud Still
 Hung Heavy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 New York. June 2S.-The cloud of the ku klux Klan hung so heavily over the democratic national conyer- ton today that the platform commit tee after an all-night session was un- able to see a rift Of light.
 In 8 last effort 10 prevent an open rupture on the floor of the convention over the issue the committee author ized William Jennings Bryan fo select as many members as he might deem necessary to enlist the aid of party leaders and the various candidates for the presidential nomination to remove what was regarded as a serious threat of a split in the party.
 ! Moreover, the members Of the com mittee under instructions from their delegations to support a plank spcci- i f1cally naming the Klan volunteered to confer with their colleagues and urge that there he a reconsideration Of the question.
 From midnight until dawn, the klan issue was a subject of intense debate. But as the first light of new day stole softly through the mul- ticolored windows where the commit tee had labored for days and nights, reali2a tion came that there could be no immediate solution of the problem
 Hopeless and Weary
 Hopeless and weary, the committee members were summoned in prayer on their departure hy the Great Com | moner, who for hours had waged an earnest fight against what ho repeat 1 edy declared was an issue that not | only would rend the party but would !! array man against man.
 Before seeking rest the committee . directed Chairman Homer s. Cum i mings to notify the convention that . the resolutions committee had been unable to complete the party declara- ton for l924 and to ask for an ad- iournment of the convention from 9;30 o'clock until o'clock this after noon,
 Meanwhile. tho committee will meet at i;30 ?. m, to receive the repost of Mir. Bryan. who was clothed with full authority 10 bring about a settle ment satisfactory to the committee and--it was hoped--to the convention.
 A number of leaders will give him their support. They were parties to conferences last night which were i>- signed to bring together the contend ing factions on a plank acceptable 10 all.
