 WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The fire brand of the Ku Klux Klan has been dropped into the political arena once more, this time by denunciation from Senator Ia Toilette, independent can didate for President, who named the organization.
 While this firebrand will sputter for awhile, and renew a discussion of the issue which caused such consternat tion at the democratic convention and some little discomfort at the republican and independent meetings at Cleveland, it will not lure the three presidential candidates from their determination to Stay as clear as possible from this question during the campaign.
 La Toilette took a stand against the hooded order. when questioned specific ally as to his position. But he made it clear at the same time that he con sidcred it unimportant as an issue, and expressed his regret that it had been injected into the campaign. Several speakers at the La Toilette convention in Cleveland expressed the opinion that the klan issue had been thrown into the new convention to divert atten- tion from economic issues of great i'm portance.
 Not Afraid Of Question
 La Toilette has shown he is not afraid of the question. He opposed it's injection as an issue, saying that in his opinion ''the one dominant, all- embracing issue in his campaign is to break the combined power of the private monopoly system over the pol itical and economic life of the Amer. ican people" He has taken his stand

NEW SHORTAGE AT CITY HALL
 TOTALS SlQ,OOO
City Adopts Attitude Of Silence Until Audit Is
 Completed

Details of a new $10,000 shortage at city hall, which brings the grand total to S37, 1000, will not be given the public until F. Hopkinson Smith com pletes his audit of the books in the public improvement division of Comp troller C. E. Armstrong's office.
 The auditor desires that all the facts about the city's financial muddle be given out in his final report, and com mission members and other officials, at his request, have adopted an atti- tude of silence. It is known, however, that the new shortage is not in assess ments of the Birmingham Electric com pany, but in amounts paid by a large industrial corporation, for which no credit was given on the books. A com plete check of payments by this cor poration is under way.
 May Reach $10O,OOO
 At city hall, the late developments have led to a strong, belief that still further defalcations already have been discovered by the auditors and that the total shortage may reach $16, 1000 or $100,000, or more.
 Commission President D. E. MeLen- don was i'll at his home Friday, but will be back at his desk Saturday. Over telephone he told The Age Herald he had received no report of the new $10,0O0 shortage. Other commissions CTS declined to discuss the situa ton with reporters. There will be no fur ther arrests until the auditors find ings are submitted, according to indi- cations.
 In formal statement, Commissioner W. L. Harrison declared Friday that some citizens were prone to criticize the entire commission for the present financial situation. He referred to his stand for honest government" and said he felt any criticism of himself was unjust.
 President McLendon was sick; Mrs. Mary Echols was on her way to Can ada for a two.week visit, and Commis. sioner Cloe could not be reached for q statement. Commissioner W. E. Dick son made this comment to reporters
 T will accept one-fifth of the respon- sibility for the conduct of this admin istration. My earnest hope is that the auditors now at work will find the right thieves and all of them"
 No indication has been given as to when Mir. Smith will finish his audit. It probably will be in progress for at least another month.

 "Loeb's phantasies, concentrated on the planning of crime, were abnormal in that they were ignoble and that they persisted too long in life" said the specialist. 4. ,.s
 Dr. Hubert also corroborated pre. vious statements that Loeb had con templated killing Leopold but could not bring himself to commit murder alone. He was afraid Leopold would get him into trouble, Dr. Hubert said. adding that the youths once played q game of cards to see who should kill himself first.
 The testimony by the college stu dents all ran along the same line, to the effect that. Loeb was irrational, irresponsible, drank heavily, argued childishly, had fainting spells and lacked "horse sense" to balance his high intellect.
 Two of the young university men told of their conversations with Leo pold in which he elaborated to item on his idea of the super man and indicated that it was an outgrowth of his close communion with the EietzScheian. They said Leopold was prone to regard him self as a super-man, who could "do no wrong" but that he regarded Loeb as the greatest man in the world" The prosecution offered little cross-examina- ti0n, Robert E.

When he left the scene of his attack on the white wom- an, the negro is reported to have ridden in that direction, and officers believe he is hiding in the dense woods that cover that section.
 Mrs. Collins, who is about 30 years old, resides in the vicinity of the con- vict camp with her husband, Blaney Collins. So far as is known, she never had seen the negro before. Statutory assault is advanced by of- ficers as the only possible motive for the attack, and this was prevented by the intervention of the white man, who was standing nearby.
 The witness reported that the negro was preparing to deliver a second blow with his ax, when he heard the shout.

FLIGHT AWAITS
 lCE-FREE BASE N IN GREENLAND
Cruiser Sent To Explore For Suitable Landing
fRv Associated Pra.sl

Ii. .REYKYAVIA, Iceland, Aug. B. The world flight of the American avia- tors who already have completed 21. 900 miles in their efforts to put a girdle -about the earth, seemed in danger of being abandoned today, owing to the ice conditions off Greenland, which are declared to be the worst in 20 years. Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith, in command of the flight, and Major Crumrine of the American army air service were called into consultation by Rear Ad- miral Thomas F. Magruder on board sthe cruiser Richmond The conference was called to consider the question of calling off the flight for this season. Both Lieutenant Smith and Major aCrumrine argued that there still were hopes for completing the projected hops from Iceland to Greenland and thence to Labrador.
 To Explore Coast
 The result of the conference was an order to the cruiser Raleigh to proceed to Greeland waters tomorrow and ex- plore the coast for possible landing place for the planes of Lieutenant Smith and Lieutenant Nelson south of Angmagsalik,. which was selected in making up the itinerary as the first Stopping place in Greeland.
 The steamer Gertrdue Rask, with supplies on board for the aviators, and which is icebound 15 miles from Ang- maksalik, reported today by wireless that there had been no change in the ice conditions. Admiral Magruder then is said to have decided to call off the flight unless there were imperative req sons for continuing.
 If no harbor is found available as haven for the planes in Greenland, the alternative of refuelling them from the Raleigh on the open sea will be considered, although the fliers regard this desperate expedient.
 May Engage Icebreaker
 The navy and army officers have an- other hope. This is based on the fact that the steamer Quest, built for the Shackleton Antarctic expendition some years ago, is now in these waters and may be engaged to break drought the ice of some east Greenland harbor and thus afford the plane a base. The Quest left Reykjavik some time ago and her present position is not known Radio messages requesting the services of the icebreaker were sent out today, and it is hoped that they may have been picked up by the Quest.
 Lieutenant Smith and Major Crurn- rine, are unwilling to give up the flight at this stage. They argue that the weather conditions in Greenland are best between August 15 and Septem- Der 1, and favor remaining here until good reports are received.
