KHAN FOR

BIZ Times Special
ENVER, Colo, Nov. 1.-The
III Ku-Klux Khan Of Colorado is
- enthusiastically and whole
heartedly behind President Coolidge
and is, with equal enthusiasm,
against Robert M. La Toilette.
There are two reasons for this
support. The first is that the Khan
has captured the complete Repub-
lican machinery in this State and
has entered a masked ticket from
Governor down to county judges.
The second is that the organization
has been ''signally honored," as
Khan leaders put it, by the appoint
ment of Rev. William Oeschger, ex-
allied cyclops of Khan No. /, as a
stump speaker for the party.
The complete tie-up between the
Republican national committee and
the Khan was exposed when the
grand dragon of this State. DR.. j. G.
Locke, read at q great Khan meeting
recently a communication from Re
publican headquarters asking that
the dragon appoint "a good Khan lee
turer" to go on a mission in the
Middle West in behalf Of Coolidge.
He therefore, ii was announced,
appointed Rev. Mr.. Oeschger to
carry the message, and Oeschger is
now stumpng la Follette's home

 HIGHWAY MURDER

 Spencer May g, 1923, { Police Say

MEMPHIS Tenn, July 19.-Thomas H. Allen, police commissioner, an nounced at 10 o'clock tonight that Charles Barr, negro, had confessed the murder of w.. Obe Spencer, who was slain on lonely highway east ot the city May g, 1923.
 Simultaneous with the commissioner announcements, detectives revealed to newspapermen that a diamond ring, be- lieved to have been worn by Mrs. Ruth McElwain Tucker on the night when she and Duncan Waller were slain near the spot where Spencer met his death. had been recovered from a local pawnshop. The ring was pawned by Barr's wife, Suoda Barr, detectives said.
 The Tucker-Waller murder was com mitted early in January of last year while the couple was riding in an auto mobile. Their bodies were stripped of valuables, including the diamond ring worn by Mrs. Tucker. Spencer was killed four months later under similar circumstances, and within a stones throw of the scene of the Tucker Wal Ter killing. With Spencer at the time was Miss Laura Wheaton Johnson, a school teacher, who was wounded and robbed by the lone bandit who killed her escort. z.--e'

ROME, July 19.-The government has suppressed the Impero, Facistia newspaper. and the Populo, Catholic organ of the anti-Fasciast section led by the Rev. Don. Luigi Sturzo.
 Populo published in four column display type, a. statement, declaring that. the only way to bring about true pacification of the country twas to remove from circulation certain Italian officials.
 The Impero also requested the gov ernmnet to reestablish capital punish ment which, in free American and European republics, gives such ad- vantageous results"
 It added if that the government does not see it's way to satisfy these requests, the same would be applied by the in, dignant population.
 The new government decree regulat- ing the activities of the press was ap- piled for the first time against the Populo, which had been warned by the pretect of Rome for the publication of remarks which he said were aimed at minimizing the work of the Italian del. egation to the London conference
 The government regards it's action against the Impero, which followed that against the Populo, as showing its inn partiality.

SAN PEDRO, Cal, July 19.-A po- lice attempt to seize 500 cases of Hcuor aboard the 125-ton motor ship Skand. lia Pacific in the harb , here last nieht was interrupted by a sudden burst of flames which enyeloped the craft from stem to stern and soon burned it to the water line. -
 Officers said the fire was set bv tba skipper, George H. Childs, in an efsort to frustrate the seizure. They allowed him to go below while they were unload- ing the liquor, they said, but had hard- ly sent half dozen cases to the deck when 2 flash of flame drove them off the deck. As they jumped ashore the ship drifted out into the chanel before the blaze. - -. '
 Childs escaped in the resultant con. fusion, but the alleged confederates were jailed on charges of violating the stata prohibition law. The Skandlia, valued at upwards of $50,000, was a total loss.

Marks Newspaper See Violation Of
 English Note
 BERLIN, July. 19.-Calling for re. jection of any interpretation of the Dawes report by the London confer ence which provided for arbitrary ter ritorial sanctions under article 9 of the Treaty of Versailles, Die Zeitung, foreign secretary Stresemann's organ, expresses frank displeasure with the drafts of memoranda now under con sideration by the conference.
 Both the French and English drafts as now constituted" the paper says, fundamentally recognize the right of territorial sanction in fragrant con- tradition of the English viewpoint set forth in the note of August Il, 1923. 'i
 These questions are of such par amount importance and, further, are calculated to disturb. the German public to such an extent that their ultimate disposition will in no small measure determine the German governments at- titude toward the experts report.
 German official apprehensiveness is feeding on the supposition that France in future would retain a free hand in the event of German default and could proceed to impose sanctions which the Germans say would be in contradiction to the letter and spirit of the Dawes report. --.-'
 Although the Reichstag will resume for its midsummer session Tuesday, the government is not yet in a. position to present drafts of its legal measures required by the Dawes report as these have not yet been approved by the 'repa. rations commission. The government naturally, also is watching the further trend of the London parleys before going to the Reichstag with a bid for approval of the experts report.

CHILDREN SALUTE
 ASCOOLIDGE
President Holds Confer ences Before Leaving - On Week-En Cruise

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Laying his official duties completely aside and abandoning all political conferences, President Coolidge boarded the May flower this afternoon for a cruise down the Potomac river.
 The President was accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge, his father and his son, and Dr.. and Mrs. John S.. Hitchcock, former neighbors of the Coolidges at Northampton, Mass. The Mayflower will return Monday morning, alter cruising down as far as the upper DOT tions of Chesapeake Bay.
 Mir. and Mrs. Coolidge, on arriving at the Mayflower's dock at the navy yard, found six little tots, children of naval officers, stationed at the yards, standing at attention at the foot of the gang plank with their arms full of wild flowers.
 Mrs. Coolidge Trades
 The President and Mrs. Coolidge stopped to talk to them, and as they did" so the children piled their flowers into Mrs. Coolidge's arms while she, saying she. would like to trade" gave a bouquet she was carrying, to the smallest, boy of three,
 All of the children stood at salute as the President was piped over the side, and, as a section of the navy band played "The Star-Spangled Banner" waved goodbye as the Mayflower swung out into the channel, and then scampered away with the intention "of dividing the flowers she gave us."
 Clears His Desk
 Before leaving the White House, the President cleared his desk of all cor respondence and held several confer ences. He received long verbal re- port from Director Hines, of the Vet erans' bureau, on the activities of that agency, particularly as to progress be- ing made in the carrying out. of legis- lation enacted at the recent session of Congress.
 Governor Trapp, of Oklahoma, en route home from the democratic na- tional convention, called to pay his re- spects and talk over the agricultural business situation in that state.
 Nearly a hundred delegates to the convention in Baltimore of the Ameri- can Institute of Banking called on the President, the first delegation to be re- ceived by Mir. Coolidge since the death of his son, Calvin, Jr., ten days ago.
 The President, on returning Monday, will engage in conferences with. Will liam NJ. Butler, chairman of the re- publican national committee, to work out in more detail the plans for the coming campaign.
