GEORGIA KHAN , LAUNCHES DRIVE
 AGAINST DAVIS
Demand For Complete Equality Of Negroes
 Laid To Nominee
lRx Associated Pressl

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 2S.-"Officlals directing the presidential campaign in behalf of Davis and Bryan Tuesday were considerably exercised at what ap- pears to be an organization movement of the Ku Klux Klan to lead the vote away from the Democratic party nomi- nees," The Atlanta Constitution says na story that will appear in its issue tomorrow morning.
 Ut has been rumored for some time" the Constitutions story says, ''that word had been sent to klan leaders of various counties to cut the democratic presidential nominees, and that there is some basis for the report appears to be substantiated by receipt this week of clippings from last Saturdays Search light, official organ of the Ku Klux Klan, being sent from all parts of the state, indicating that the paper has been broadcast on the eve of the elec- tion with a view of injuring the demo- cratic nominee.
 Charge Equality" Declaration
 "This issue of the paper contains conspiciously on the front page heavy headlined article charging that in re- cent address at Indianapolis, John w.. Davis, in appealing to the negro vote of that state, declared for complete equality regardless of race or creed
 "The Searchlight makes prominent display of the action of the J. E. Don- alson Klan of Bainbridge, in which in denouncing the above alleged utterance, it declares:
 "The white democracy of the south have read with some astonishment the speech of John w. Davis, the party's nominee for president, made before the negro voters league of Indianapolis, last Monday, wherein he appealed for complete equality, regardless of race or creed. Mir. Davis may Seneve in placing the negroes on an absolute equality with the white race, but he will find a few people who hold differ ent views. especially in the south. When he puts the word complete we take it to mean just that, and that he would advocate a policy of the whites dining and intermarrying with all races re- gardless of color. We believe in white supremacy. Distinction among the races is not accidental, but designed. Neither is it incidental, but is of vast

BANDITS ESCAPE
 WITH OVER &,OOO

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2S.-Two masked robbers entered the St. Claude Avenue branch of the Interstate Bank and Trust company late today, took $7 ,25O in currency, forced a woman teller. the manager and a 16-yeor-old boy into the vault and made their es- cape in an automobile which was wait ing in front of the bank, with a third man at the wheel.
 The men wearing white handkerchiefs over the lower part of their faces en- tered the bank with drawn revolvers, compelled Mrs. T. P. Grace, paying teller; Henry Lobit, manager, and Fred Erickson, young bOOkkeeper, to throw up their hands. As Mrs. Grace complied she pressed her foot on but ten on the floor to send in an alarm, but the wires of the burglar system had been cut by the robbers.

MOTORS. EQUIPMENT SOLD;; NEW PLANT SEEN Local Men Thought Inter- ested In Contemplated
 Project
 A. M. KONKLE PAYS
 $115,OOO FOR WORKS New Concern Will En- gage In Manufactur- ing, Dr. Gewin Says

All plants and equipment of the bankrupt Preston Motors company of Birmingham have been purchased by A. M. Kon- kle, representing what is be- lieved to be a party of Bir- mingham business men who have plans under way for re- habilitating the property for conversion into a modern man. ufacturing plant, it was an- nounced Tuesday by Judge B. H. Dryer, referee in bank ruptcy.
 Judge Dryer named the purchase price as S115,O 900, $10,000 of which al- ready been paid and the transaction confirmed. The plant is known to have cost originally several times that figure and was financed largely through the sale of stock to the citizens of Bir- mingham.
 Mir. Konkle is secretary of com pany of which Dr. w. c. Gewin is president, who, with ". w. Crawford, of the American Trust and Savings bank were named as being interested in the formation of the new company to operate the plants.
 In an interview with The Age-Hera,d Dr. Gewin declared the purchase of the company are not all Birmingham men, but admitted that plans are under way to operate the plant.
 n cam tell you that inc new com. many will be manufacturing concerns Dr. Gewin said, but I am not at lib- erty just now to say who the parties are or to divulge the nature of the proposed plant. That information will be available shortly.
 Mir. Crawofrd denied any connection with the purchase of the properties.
 The plant on the Vanderbilt road, just at the northern edge of NorwOOd, contains 40 acres. The physical prop critics consist of high priced machinery, which could be converted into use able plant without serious trouble or much cost, according to experts. The forge shop is several miles away. The final conversion of the Preston plant into an operating concern for Birming- ham would be a public service of a most valuable kind and there seemed to be an impression that after some years of idleness the properties would begin to earn returns on the investment.

NAVY DESERTER
 GETS HOMESICK AND GIVES UP

THICAGO, Oct. 2S.-"Buddy, I'm V 4 homesick for the navy !"
 That was the declaration of a 20-year-old youth who, giving the name of Harlan Lloyd of Rome, Ga, gave himself up to the police here as deserter from the navy.
 It was out in the Desplaines sec tion of Chicago, where the land is flat and they call the Vacant lots ''prair- leu" that Harlan, looking at the great open spaces, thought of far lonely seas under gray sunsets, the crash of white combers breaking over the fo'c'sl head, the tinkle of mandolin on the gun deck as the smoking lamp is lit and the crew settles down for the night.
 I'm homesick for the navy" he said. The youth explained that he had escaped from the Charleston, s. C., penitentiary where he had been imprisoned following conviction for responsibility in a running boat collision at Norfolk, Va, in 1922.

Leased Wire To Age.HeraldI

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.- Publication of income tax re- turns is illegal, in the opinion of Attorney General Stone, who will institute a test suit in the near future for a final settlement of the question by the courts. The attorney gen. erals opinion does not make the publication illegal, but will carry it's weight. Legality is up to the courts.
 Stone set out his views ils 2 eng hy formal statem9ala,s from his office Tuesday, after the matter had been thrashed out at the cabinet meeting. He did not indicate where the suit would be brought, or against what newspaper. The re- turns were published in nl- merous newspapers through out the country.
  srward, said that the su't would be in stituted very soon, perhaps tomorrow morning." The penalty provided under the law is $1,OOO fine or a year in prison, or both, under the old law.
 Avoids Illegal
 Stone does not use the word illegal anywhere in his statement, but he makes it perfectly clear that he re- gards the publication by newspapers as not in accordance with the law.
 Publication of this information in newspapers" he said, 'is nowhere spe- officially provided for by the law and appears not 10 have been authorized under the provision of Section 257 (B)," which sets out that the commis- sioner of internal revenue shall open the tax amounts to public inspection. but in such manner he may deter mine."
 As the basis for this opinion. he ey- plained that while the new law re- quires that the commissioner of inter nal revenue shall make the returns available to inspection that it is left to him to determine in what way this shall be done, and that in the present instance the commissioner has author ized inspection of the lists only in the ColieClofS OlIlCeS III edcn ulStftct, 9nuJ has not authorized publication in the newspapers.
 Early Date
 "The provision, however," Stone said, concluding, lis expressly made a part of l the present tax law, and it appears | clearly to be the duty of the depart ment of justice to have an appropriate case presented in the courts so that the full force and effect of this provision may be judicially determined. This will be done at an early convenient date"
 The attorney general declined to an swer fire of questions from newspa- permen as to the suit he intends to bring. It is generally thought that he will institute suits against a partic- ular newspaper, but which one he

3 KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 2S.-Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, who for several months has been out of the political arena because of protracted illness, tonight took the platform at Conven- ton hall in his first public ad- dress since prior to the demo- cratic national convention. and pledged his allegiance to the national and state demo- cratic tickets.
 Still showing the effects of his illness but with much of his old time char acteristic fighting spirit, the senator fired political broadsiCes at both Sem ator La Toilette and President Coolidge, denounced the republican administration for what he termed it's ''reactionary pOl- fcies.n then launched into a lengthy aI1- hlysis of issues, including farm Eeiief, tariff. the Mellon tax plan, immigration and the Ku Klux Klan.
 q have been as silent as Coolidge" 1" Senator Reed said, arly in h:s address, hut for better reason" He declared he was compelled to speak at this time because of solemn sense of duty, even at personal hazard"
 Plays Coolidge
 Characterizing Coolidge as the "Na- poleon of about 20 legislative Water loos," he declared the president has hardened to the reactiCnary element of the Republican party which has repre- sented the standpatisin of capitalism.
 Senator Reed said he had no desire to say harsh things about President Cool idge, whose committee ''has adopted the campaign slogan, Calvin Coolidge ge-coOl as a cucumber nevertheless, am con- tent that his friends, if they please, com pare him with that criminal of the gar den, which, being composed entirely of seeds and water, and completely devoid of all sustenance, produces only starva- tion in animals, and collie in humans" !"
 He criticized the President for his silence and asserted that "a candidate for the presidency should possess the intelligence to comprehend and the bold ness and frankness to speak upon all public questions"
 Ia Toilette "Red''
 l Senator La Toilette, independent can didate for president, was alluded to as an republican red"

Leased Wire to Age-HeraId)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Further revelations of the methods used by re- pubIicans in raising campaign funds, and in disbursing the money, covering a wide range through a number of witnesses, were laid before the investi- gating committee here Tuesday in a lengthy session.
 The report also shows that Joseph l.. Crupper, republican state chairman of Virginia, recently charged by a negro dentist of Richmond with giving him a check for $500 after he had refused to support the national ticket, was ad- vanced $5,000. The speaking tour of has cost $22, ,5SB.
 Mellon, who has the manneeisni oi the Secretary of the Treasury, said in reply to a question from Walsh that his idea of '.slush fund" was ''hid- den fund used for illegal purposes" and said he did not regard money spent ill the open for legitimate purposes" as coming in that classification.
 Dime Contributor Disclosed
 Col. Eric +. Wood of Pittsburg, who assisted Mellon in the collection of funds, stated that he and Mellon did not seek contributions from directors Gf corporation, as such, and mentioned one contribution of 10 cents.
 'Pd like to see the name of a re- publican who thinks his party is worth 1U cents," Senator .Caraway put in.
 "That was given by little boy of six years who said he was not toO young to contribute to President Cool ilge's election" Wood explained
 Elliott was subjected to an intense 'grilling by Walsh and members of the committee for an explanation of his letter stating that large contributions could be divided so as to comply with the Massachusetts law, but insisted on his interpretation. He admitted, however, that he had dropped from ac- tive work shortly after the letter had drawn national attention when it was read in the Senate last May.
 "You were caught, weren't youF' Walsh asked.
