KHAN SELECTED
{. B. MAYFIELD
OFFICIAL SAYS
Ku Klux Committee Raise
Large Sum For Texan.
Says McCord

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Texat
Klansmen selected Senator Earle B
Mayfield as their candidate for thu
Senate in a secret ballot in which 2,50(
members of the khan participated, d. G
McCord, an official of Dallas Khan No
66, testified before the Mayfield in.
vestigating committee Monday.
The klansmen balloted to determine
whether the khan should support May
field, Robert l.. Henry or Sterling p
Strong, McCord said.
"Mayfield was indorsed," McCord de,
clared.
Mayfield, McCord testified, addressed
closed meeting of the khan prior ia
the balloting. McCord said he was a
member of the steering committee, !
composed entirely of klansmen which
functioned during Mayfield's campaign
1.-THE committee raised money for,
and supported candidates all the way
from constable to United States sen.
ator," McCabe told the committee. Each
committee member was expected to
raise 500, he said.
Members of the steering committee
were chairmen of their respective per,
cincts and responsible for turning out
a large vote, according to McCord, but
they were not the official democratic
chairmen.
Sensational testimony anticipated
from e. Y. Clarke, former imperial
wizard in the Atlanta khan palace, was
not Forthcoming. Clarke recently was
"banished" by the khan and had beer
called to testify by attorneys for G. q
B. Peddy, who is contesting Mayfield's
election to the Senate.
Clarke was on the stand just lons
enough to admit his former official con
neetion with the khan and that he had
"been arrested many times"
Protesting that Clarke had been con
victed of felony, Mayfields attorneys
attempted to bar him from the witness
chair.
Clarke will be called again Tuesday
after the committee has considered OBJ
jections to his testimony.

e. J. Jones of Atlanta, who was q
khan cashier in 1922, testified that
N. N. Furney, chief cashier, appealed
to him to influence DIR. Hiram Evans

STANDP ALTERS.
WIN SIGNAL POINT
IN CHURCH FIGHT
M0dernists Voted Down
In Arguments Over
Alleged Heresies


GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, May 30
tBy Associated Press. bitter contro-
versy today brought the fundamental
ist-modernist division in the Presby-
terrain church into the open with q
signal victory for the fundamentalists
when the general assembly, in heated
session, voted 443 to 341 to support DR..
Clarence r. Mccartney, moderator and
fundamentals leader, on point OF
order.
Charges of heresies on the part OF
some teachers in theological institutions
of the church and in the published
works of some churchmen were made.
The debate sprung to sudden life dur
ing the reading of the committee re-
port on theological seminaries. DIR.
Walter +. McMillin of Philadelphia, a
commissioner from Dr.. Mccartney s
presbytery, sought introduction Of res
olntion imposing upon teachers in theo-
logical seminaries the solemn obliga-
ton to see to it that their teaching. is
in conformity with the confession of
faith.
DR.. McMillin's attempt to quote from
a published statement by one of these
teachers-Prof. Allin Macy Dalles Of
Auburn Theological seminary, Auburn,
N. Y, which he said denied one of the
tenets of theology-brought quick reply
from DIR. Malcolm Machail of Auburn
The Auburn seminary, he said, is not in
the jurisdiction of the assembly, being
under the authority of the New York
synod.
Says Article HereticaI
During the debate, DR.. Percy Y
Schelly, also of Philadelphia, criticized
| xx,,h1schnl E&wy Tlr
Sn0wden, Pittsburg, editor of the Pres
byteriai1 magazine, quoting a statement
which he charged was contrary to the
tenets of the church.
DIR. Arthur Shooner, Malvern, Pa,
an. Auburn graduate, came to the de-
tense of his alma mater, but DIR. w. u.
Lathem, Chester, Pa, renewed the con-
troversy by attempting to read alleged
heretical statements from published re-
! marks of a Professor Bailie of Auburn.
1t was at this point that members
of the New York Presbytery challenged
the line of debate, taking the stand that
rules of the assembly prescribe attacks
from the floor from individual ministers.
The moderator ruled against this point
of order and when an appeal from his
decision was taken he was upheld with
majority of 104 votes. Further de-
bate was choked off by adoption of a
motion sending the theological seminary
report back to the committee.
Endorses World Court
High points of today's assembly ses-
sions were:
Unanimous adoption of a resolution
written by William Jennings Bryan,
pledging the church to the international
court of justice and arbitration of diff
ferences but reserving the right of this
nation to control its own destiny and
decide whether and when to declare
war"
Adoption of resolution Directing to
the caricaturing of clerymen in NOV
ing pictures, with the provision that
the resolution be called to the atten-
ton of Will Fl. Hays, an elder of the
Presbyterian church and president of
the motion picture producers and dis
tributors of America. .gsissss

UP TO COOLIDGE
Mellon To Make Report To Coolidge On
Measure


WASHINGTON, May 26.-The tax
reduction bill was put up to President
Coolidge for final enactment. into law
today by Congress. Like the Senate,
the House, by an overwhelming major
ity, approved the conference compro-
mise on the main provisions. The vote
was S76 to 8.
An early decision by the President
was forecast by those close to him on
the basis of his insistent demands that
Congress hasten action on tax reduc-
ton.
Mr.. Coolidge had asked Congress for
the bill proposed by Secretary Mellon,
turned down almost entirely in the
framing of the pending measure. but has
let it be known he will consider the
latter on its merits as compared with
the present law. Secretary Mellon in
! dictated today he considered the bill on
the whole an improvement over the
present law.
Within few minutes after the meas
ure had reached the White House it was
sent to the treasury secretary for study.
Mr.. Mellon expected to have a report
containing his analysis of the bill in
the hands of the President tomorrow or
Wednesday. 1t was indicated he would
confirm his report to a comparison of
the measure with the present law with
out definite recommendations.
Makes IS Per Cent Cut
The bill provides for 25 per cent
reduction on income taxes payable this
year; permanent revision downward of
the income, miscellaneous and excise
taxes; additional reduction after this
year of % per cent on earned incomes of
$4,000 and under, and numerous
changes in the administration provisions,
most of which were proposed by the
treasury.
Although carrying the democratic
proposal for reduction in the income
taxes, the bill was acclaimed today by
leaders of both parties in the House as
was done also in the Senate, as flair
and just"
Chairman Green of the ways and
means committee, read treasury figures
to show that it would provide suffi.
cient revenue to meet all government
expenses next year, including the cost
of the new bonus law. The bill cut
taxes by $22,O00,000 more than pro.
posed in the Mellon plan, Mr.. Green
added.
The revenue bill passed the House
three months ago by vote of 408 to 8
Two members who then voted against
it today supported the conference re.
port, Bacharach. republican, New Jer.
sey, and Howard, democrat, Nebraska
Three republicans who previously voted
for the bill voted against the report
Hill, Maryland, Moores, Indiana, and
Phillips, Pennsylvania.

Women Unite to
Enforce Law.

Now comes the announcement that
during the week beginning April z.
next, in Washington, representative
conference of the women of the Unit
ed States will be held ''to consider the
general problem of law enforcement,
with particular emphasis on prohibl-
ton" 1t is said the conference will
be attended by delegates from nearly
every woman's organization in the
States. One is inclined to believe
that the deliberations of this meeting
will be far more important than those
of some other gatherings which have
discussed ways and means of enforce
ment, as well as methods which might
be adopted for the notification, OF
the Eighteenth Amendment. Coming
as its does but a few weeks before
the date set for the meeting of the
national conventions of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, when
platform declarations must state the
attitude of political leaders toward
the issue involved, the announcements
of the conference, to be organized
under the name Of the Women's Com
mittee on Law Enforcement, cannot
be carelessly regarded.
There has never been serious doubt
as to the attitude of American women,
as individuals, toward the subject of
law enforcement. AS wives and
mothers they have worked for pro-
hibition increasingly. They had hoped
that with the outlawing of the saloon
those for whom they were solicitous.
would be emancipated from an I'M
willing and degrading slavery. They
believe this is still the promise, and
that upon it they have every right to
rely. But now they are convinced,
apparently, that no law, no matter
how salutary or beneficent, is auto
matically enforceable. They see that
for some unexpected reason this par
ticular regulation has not been en-,
forced as fully as it should have been.
Now they are going to learn the rea-
son for this laxity. Holding the bal
ance of voting power in state and ma
tional elections, and in the direction
of affairs in their home cities and
towns, they propose to call to strict
account those who have failed to fue-
fill their pledge to enforce all laws
impartially.
None know better than the women
of America the distressing results of
the campaign which has been organ
lied to hinder the enforcement of the
prohibition law. They have seen the
insidious effects of unlawful indul-
gence in the poisonous concoctions
which vicious traffckers have sup
piled to those who fatter themselves
that they are cunning enough to cir
cumvent the law. But none know
better than these same women that
they possess the power to put an end
to this traffic, once they unite to that
end. The time is abundantly ripe for
Just this kind of cooperation. Mil
lions of women net previously identi-
fed with the organizations represent
ed will welcome the opportunity to
participate in the campaign outlined.
