KHAN FACTIONS
PLAN TO ATTEND
SUNDAY MEETING
StephenSon'S Boys tC
Be Present at ConcIave
Called by BoSSert Side.

In spite of statements from Ku-
Klux Khan leaders Friday that
David c. Stephenson had been
"ousted' from the Khan. the Stephen
son insurgent faction in the organi-
cation was busy today with plans
for the Statewide meeting called at
Cadle Tabernacle Sunday.
At Stephenson's Office today it was
denied the Sunday meeting had been
called by Stephenson.
According to the Stephenson fac
ton, the meeting was called by Hi
ram W. Evans, imperial wizard Of
the national Khan, who is expected
here today. Stephenson. however.
declared his boys" would attend the
meeting in force.
According to statement of one
member. Evans. Bossert and Huff
ington may have the organization.
but Stephenson has the rank and
file behind him"
Stephenson, known as the 'old
man" Of the Khan in Indiana, is
seeking to wrest control Of the State
organization from Walter F. Bos-
sert, imperial representative in In
diana.
Stephenson declares the Indiana
Khan must have self-determination
and election Of it's own officers.
Joseph huntington. great titan, de-
clared Friday that Stephenson had
no more to do with the Khan than
he had with the Republican party.

POLICY TO HOLD LONG
TERMS THIRD QUARTER
Little Hurry About Getting Into
ShOrt-Term Issues.

Moody's Weekly Review of F'inan-
cial Conditions in it's current issue
says in part:
Doubtless the most conspicuous
new trend is the drift toward either
Mr.. Coolidge or else a conservative
Democrat as the next President.
Either alternative would be a bull
point regarding trade and securities.
Judging from the monetary and
trade outlook it appears to be log
ical policy to hold a fairly good pro-
portion of long term bonds we'll into
the third quarter of the present year,
and possibly into the fourth quarter.
There seems to be no hurry about
getting out of the long and into the
short-term issues, except in certain
individual cases where particular rea-
sons apply. Yet if business follows
the expected trend it ought to prove
advisable to begin some time be-
tween November and the end of
March to switch into shorter is
sues.

COFFEE MARKET
PRICES SOARING
Brazil CurtaiIS Shipments
Shortage Exists.

For the last two months retail
coffee prices have %een steadily adj
vancing. Local grocers are asking
10 to 20 cents more per pound for
coffee than first of the year prices.
The cheapest grade handled by
many retailers is selling for 35 cents,
formerly Is cents a pound. The
best grades are now bringing
around so and So cents. Extra fine
is quoted at so cents.
According to local wholesalers,
coffee buyers held off in expecta-
ton of large coffee crop last year,
but just at harvest time. heavy
rains occurred doing much damage.
To make matters worse the Brazil
ian government placed a restriction
on the number of bags to be
shipped. Consequently the supply
Of ordinary coffee is limited and
there is an acute shortage in the
better grades. Present prices may
be expected to continue until ar
rival of the new crop.

DEPRESSION HITS
LUMBER INDUSTRY
Little Quickening in Trade
Before August,

Quoting from the weekly lumber
market review of the American Lum-
herman. the general business situa-
ton is featured by decreasing prices.
diminishing sales and dull manufac-
turing activity. These developments
have affected some industries more
than others, but are felt in practical
ly all of them. Lumber, dependent
as it is on the activity of other con-
Stunning industries, consequently is
in, a state bordering on depression,
and prices have shown a further
weakening.
Prospects are rather uncertain.
but it is generally felt that the pres
ent dizziness is largely due to the
backward spring and to political I'M
certainies. and that these obstacles
to business prosperity are on the
point Of disappearance. Unfavor-
able weather has delayed construc-
ton work and sales of important
wood users such as the automobile
industry, but confidence is strong
that the next month will witness con
siderable stimulation in both these
fields, as well as in other manufac-
turing lines which are more or less
influ enced by rainfall and tempera-
ture.
1t is also believed that the presi-
Dental nominations will be followed
by a clearing Of the political skies,
so that the general expectation is of
stimulated business by midsummer,
that the vacation season then be-
gins to interpose itself and that lit
tie quickening in trade can be looked
for until August.
