WANT SHOWDOWN
 ON SHOALS OFFER
Ford Plan Backers Demand Bill Be Reported To Floor
 Without Delay
WASHINGTON BCREAN :,
 THE AGE-HEKALD ] Makhiugton. ID. c. Jan. 12 1

The announced preparation of ad. lministration offIcia1s,q acting under the direction of the President to drive through Congress legislation creat- ing an expert board for the consider ation of Muscle Shoals offers, will be vigorously opposed by advocates of the bid of Henry Ford. 1t is learned tonight. Representative William B. Oliver of Alabama expressed the opinion that opposition would not only be persistent and determined but suc- cesEful.
 The friends of the Ford proposi- tion are not afraid of comparison with other propositions, according to Mr. Oliver, but are opposed to the indefinite delay which further inves- tigation of a subject long inves- tigated would make necessary. What the Ford people are crying for is "showndown," and they believed that no force can deny them that showdown" much longer.
 Garrett To Urge Report.
 Before the military committee Tuesday, Ford advocates in ad- dresses by Representative Madden ot Illinois, republican, and Representa- tive Garrett of Tennessee, demo- crat. will urge the committee to re port a bill quickly, without inordi- nate delay and without further hear ing, in order that the fight might be transferred to the floor. It cannot be learned tonight, however. what ac- tion the committee will take. It is understood. however, that Col. ". J. Worthington of Alabama. Ford agent will be prepared to declare to the committee definitely whether or not Ford will accept Muscle Shoals provided a plant to duplicate Gorgas is constructed, or what Fords ac- tion would be If such plant was not constructed. Certain members of the committee have contended that Ford has never definitely declared himself since Gorgas was sold to the Alabama Power company.
 Representative Oliver declared to- night that the letter" of the Ala : bama Power company and associates, in which it was stated that an offer, under certain conditions, would be made, had created no furore in Con- gress, and that in his opinion, 1t would receive only passing atten- tion. He agreed with the farm. bu- reau federation that even in a monetary sense, the power compa- ny's proposal was not more alluring than that of Ford.

INTERNAL STRIFE THREATENS KHAN
Clarke And Simmons Refuse To Be 0usted--Factions
 
 Aligned !.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 12.-A bitter fight to end was forecast in Ku Klux klan ranks today as a result of the order of Imperial Wizard H. W. Evans. banishing from the secret or der Colonel W. J. Simmons, founder and F. '. Clarke, imperial wizard emeritus.
 The fight has just begun" Clarke declared in a formal statement an- nouncing that he would appeal his banishment through all of the courts of the klan and then through the civic courts of the state.
 This order is illegal and I will ignore it," Clarke said.
 The action definitely split in two opposing camps, the rank and file of the lSlansmen in the country, accord ing to Colonel Simmons.
 The factional fight which has waged inside the organization with dim lines of battle, is now clear cut and will mean a definite alignment of all members of the hooded organi- zation of the nation.
 Clarke and Simmons were banished at a meeting of grand dragons of the country held in Washington, January 5, it was learned.
 The charges were insubordination and giving aid to the enemy.
 This Clarke declared was the direct result of his recent appeal to Presi dent Coolidge to intervene in the or ganiZation's affairs to prevent an "open ferd" and his sensational move few days later in calling a national congress to kill or cure" the clan.
 The banishment will have no eff feet on this convention of klansmen Clarke said. charging that Dr. Evans dramatic action was merely an at tempt to thwart the congress are prevent exposures"
 At the same time Clarke announced that his personal attorney, Sidney Smith, would leave today for Wash ington in the interests of the Sena- tor Mayfield case now before the Senate and in addition would file a number of suits. Clarke and Smith refused to say against whom the suits would be filed.

There Is 2 distasteful odo.. about this entire matter. Fall m his original statement to the committee. sworn and attesed, said he reserved $!00,000 from Mclean for the pur- chase of a ranch at Three Rivers, x. M
 He stated very empha tically that he received the money in cash -ar unusual procedure-and Mclean by his acquies;en at the time, ap- peared to rollaborate this statement,
 But McLern now, under examine ton. says ke believes he has ID of ficial record of the s1OO.09o personal Ioan and that Fall never cashed the checks which were issued.
 Fall then writes letter to Wish admitting that he lied in his original statement, and refusing tt this time to tell where he got thc money. Must Reveal Source.
 ITO every man this casts a doubt full suspicion as to where Fall got the money. This situation cannot be permitted 10 continue. Fall must tell where ne got the moaav.
 T am sincerely sorry that the in- cident occurred. It tends to weaken the confidence of the public in re- sponsible government officin.s. I am not condemning Fall until I find cut where he got tie money, but I'wll1 in- sist that this doubt be cleared Up immediately.
 Never in the last 10 years, has a cabinet official been under suspicion of receiving shady money. They have been attacked--but nothing iik @ this.
