LEAGUES WORK
 PLEASED WILSON

wILLIAMsTOwN, Mass, Sept. 1.-Woodrow Wilson, few weeks before his death, did not regret that the United States had not joined the League of Nations at its beginning, Prof. Sidney B. Fay of Smith college declared at the institute of politics here today. Professor Fay referred to a con verstaion which a friend of his and a counsellor of MT. Wilson had reported to him as having taken place with the former President.
 It was Mir. Wilson's opinion that the league was developing and had shown itself able perform the task set for it. He still believed the United States would eventually join the league, but he was philosophical over the delay, Professor Fay said.
 This gentleman called on President Wilson few weeks before he died" Professor Fay related. "He told me recently that Mir. Wilson told him that it was a greater thing for the league idea that the league had grown up so strong without the care of it's prin- cipal sponsor and parent"

PROGRESS
 FOR NEW RESORT
The Governors Club To Be Exclusive Golf
 Club
Walter S. Richardson, well-known at.

Walter S. Richardson, well-known at torney and sportsman of Foley and Montgomery, reached Birmingham Sun day for final conferences this week with leading business men who are ex- pected to take over ''The Magnolias" at Magnolia Springs and convert it into the most exclusive pleasure resort in the south.
 The resort is to be known as ''The Governors club" and the governor of Alabama will be it's presiding officer. One of Birmingham's leading industrial captains probably will be vice chairman of the board of governors. MT. Rich ardson says he has engagements this week with a number of leading Magic City citizens and he believes the deal will be closed within few days. Sev- eral civic leaders of Montgomery and Mobile also are cooperating in the movement to establish the club.
 ''The Magnolias" is noted as a pleas ure resort. Situated on the gulf, about forty miles from Mobile, it has facili- ties for hunting, fishing, golf and all other recreations, and is equipped with one of the most attractive club houses in the country. This estate is owned by a New York capitalist and sports man, who agreed to turn it. over to a group of leading Alabamians who want an exclusive hunting and fishing lodge where they and their families can spend week-ends and vacations.
 T expect to be able within a week to give out the details of this project" Mir. Richardson said Sunday night. "A number of Birmingham men are inter esce>. T will confer with them Mon- tav gnd I,s.,aay'

 NEW OUTBREAK

the klan and their opponents, in which six men were killed and several wounded, one probably fatally. To nights meeting was regarded by Her rin members of the hooded organizati tion as an advance notice of a hegira into the turbulent district embracing Her rin and other large mining centers of Williamson county.
 The cross, with arms measuring seven feet, attracted hundreds of spectators, including farm folk of the vicinity and numerous motorists en route to St. Louis and cities east of here. Passing motorists who were attracted within fifty feet of the flaming cross, were received with friendly greetings by the blem of the organization.
 Although dusk ended an uneventful and quiet Sabbath, the coming of night brought unrest to Herrin and Will liamson county.
 Military Unwary
 Rumors of the gathering of Ku Klux Klansmen throughout the county were rife. but hard to confirm. The military paid no heed to the rumors and took no unusual precautions.
 The list of the dead as the result of yesterdays shooting affray Htill re- mains at six. Herman Phemister, at first thought to have been fatally wounded and given up Tor dead, re- gained consciousness this afternoon and now the attending physicians hold some hope for his recovery. Residents here arc plainly worried over what the night may bring.
 Previously and until S. Glenn Young, paid klan raider and leader, left these parts, the Ku Klux Klan, residents say, were in control of the county. Lately, however, the control has switched to the anti-klansman. And yesterday the anti k!an scored heavily when three alleged klansmen were killed and one anti klan died.
 To Seek Revenge
 Residents do not hesitate to believe that the klansmen are mobilizing as they are of the opinion that the klans- men will make spirited effort to get revenge. Herrin is not without law enforcement. however. Though split by factional disputes between the klan and anti-klan, government exists, but it is of dual nature.
 A divided vote of mayor and the city aldermen has brought into existence two sets of police to patrol the streets. The incumbent chief of police is Harry Walker, an acknowledged klansman. who performs his duties from his guarded office of the city hall. John Ford, also chief of police, hns volun- tarily withdrawn from the execution of that office, though he still stoutly main- tains his right to the office.
 The police. together with the troops, serve somewhat to allay the fears of the townspeople, but as fed up as they are with the sporadic shooting matches that have taken place here during many years past they seem to expect that the next one will be the fight.
 Adjutant General Carlos E. Black ar- rived in Herrin early tonight, having motored from Springfield. General Black had said today he wanted the Noops out of the county not later than
