CLARKE PLANS CALL
FOR KHAN CONGRESS
IN ATLANTA FEB. 10

Edward Young Clarke, former
acting imperial wizard Of the Ku
Kiux Khan, will recommend that the
order be disbanded eff lawlessness
and other existing evils cannot be
eliminated" he stated Monday in an
nouncing that he would call a ma
tional congress of the khan to be
held in Atlanta on February Is.
Mr.. Clarke said the congress would
be called ito determine the future
of the ku klux Khan" and said he
would read a formal proclamation
calling the meeting at a gathering Of
Nathan Bedford Forrest khan, No. l,
to be held Tuesday night.
He said he expected the congress
to assemble 10000 klansmen and de-
clared it would be "by far the most
momentous gathering in the history
of the I\u I<lux Khan" adding that
it would be held Independent of both
the William Joseph Simmons or
Hiram Wesley Evans factions of the
order.
"A congress at this time is impera-
tive because of the tendency towards
lawlessness on the part of certain
elements within the khan organiza-
ton" said Mr.. Clarke. II will have
my formal proclamation ready by
Thursday night and when the dele
gates get here l will have my rec
,Io+ f<s
IF we cannot arrive at some
method Of eliminating lawlessness
and other existing evils [ will recon-
mend that it be disbanded. because,
as it is conducted at present, it is a
| menace to the whole political and
social structure of the nation.
'Klansmen have been inoculated
with the idea that sometimes they
have the right to violate the law, and
if the order is to be saved from utter
ruin its conscience must be shocked
This is what 1 propose to do. I want
to do it with as little violence, blood
shed and strife as possible but 1 am
going to do it. I have laid out a
| plan of action and I will follow it.
Most of the new members coming
into the order at the present time
oc1lS u4ISu ny lWo groups
one of these groups does not believe
in any law or order and the other be
lieves in the divine right of klans
m?n to control courts and judges
legislators, public officials and the
laws. Unless these two groups are
| eliminated the order will grow into
| a serious me 1ace to all American in
| situations.
The delegates to the congress tc
| be called by me will be chosen by
the various klans in all parts Of the
United States and the congress will
| be held independent of either the
! Simmons or the Evans faction"

MELLON TAX PLAN
. SCORED AS SNARE:
BY WESTERN SOLON

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Publi-
cation of the treasury tax bill, says
a statement by Representative Gar.
ner, of Texas, issued by the Demo
cratic national committee. has
fully justified the attitude Of Demo
cratic and western Republican con
gressional leaders in refusing to ac.
cept the measure in advance and
without the opportunity to scrutinize
its provisions"
A ''huge organized conspiracy on
the part of the predatory interests. -
MIR. Garner charges, has been con
Quoting a "nation-wide propaganda
to commit the people and their rep
resentatives in congress" to the bill
before all of its details could be
made known and has ''in a large
measure apparently succeeded in the
attempt to mislead the public by
keeping secret some of the most OBJ.
jectionable provisions.
Mr.. Garner, who is the ranking
Democrat on the house ways and
means committee, declares that
plain and convincing evidence Of
this conspiracy is found in the
wording of kilograms and letters be
ing received by senators and repre-
sentatives in congress which are in
Identical language" The signers OF
these messages, he says, could not
nave known all of the provisions
of the Mellon tax bill, because most
of the messages were received be
fore the bill was made public" He
adds that "only through the insist
ence of Democratic leaders has the
bill been made public in all it's pro-
visions" and asserts that it fails
to give millions of farmers, trades
men and small business men gener

CHURCH REBELLION
FLARES UP AFRESH;;
FARLEY IN DANGER

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Efforts to
settle without recourse to public dis
Cussion the doctrinal controversy in
the Protestant Episcopal church be
gun at a conference Friday at which
| Modernist and Conservative repre-
| SentatiVes were present, today ap
pears endangered by pulpit asser
tons yesterday that the Christmas
truce requested in a diocesan letter
from Bishop William 7. Manning was
| at an end and that the inter-fac tion
struggle would go on with renewed
vigor
The Rev. DIR. Percy Stickney
| Grant, rector of the Church of AS
| cension, a leading modernist whose
views last year caused an open clash
with Bishop Manning declared the
| Christmas peace was over as far as
he was concerned and expressed hope
| That the controversy would be
neither too much narrowed" nor
| "hushed-up by secret conference
DR.. Grants criticism of the "auto.
| cratic power Of the bishops was met
by diametrically opposed view ex-
pressed by the Rev. DR.. Joseph G..
III. Barry, rector Of the Church of st.
Mary the Virgin, who called upon
the bishops to discipline the modern
list clergymen and asserted that Cain
was the first modernist.
Emphasis was given DR.. Barry's
statement by the presence in his
church Of Bishop William Walter
Webb. of Milwaukee, leading con-
sentative.
Another in the ranks of the group
which threw down the gauntlet anew
was DR.. William Norman Guthrie,
| rector of the Church of st. Mark s.
in-theBouwerie, who recently was
admonished by Bishop Manning
about symbolic dances in his church.
In my thirty years in the ministry
have never spoken this way be-
fore said DR.. Guthrie, "but I am not
| going to let my brother get into
trouble without going with him. And
a good many of US are going to get
into trouble" DR.. Guthrie referred
| to the story of Jesus as the Christ
| myth" which interested him as a
historian, but not as a minister.
The Rev. Charles Francis Potter,
| OF the West Side Unitarian church,
predicted that the "old era of Hall
and Devil and the cowardly evasion
| of truth will rapidly pass away and
| be supplanted by a newer and greater
