KHAN KLEAGLE IS ARRESTED IN N. '.
Buffalo Police Hold Him for Vio-
 lation of Walker Law

Buffalo N. Y, Oct. 1.-George C. Bryant, district kleagle of the ku Klux Kan, was arrested today on a warrant charging violation of the Walker law which requires registra- tion with the state of the member ship roster of incorporated oath bound fraternal bodies.
 Bryant was taken to the sheriff s office and released immediately on $500 bail on an order from Supreme Court Justice Pooley to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not be issued. The order was ob- tained by Julius Grass, Ku Klux ,klan attorney in Buffalo. On re- quest of District Attorney Guy B. Moore, argument of the court order was postponed until next Monday. The klan kleagle cannot be arraign- ei on the warrant charge before that time.
 The warrant charged specifically that Bryant attended kan meeting in Buffalo on August 26 with the knowledge that Buffalo klansmen had not compiled with the Walker law.
 Today's action by the klan attor- ney in obtaining the show cause or der from Justice Pooley was under stood to be the first move in pro ccedings to test the constitutional. | ity of the Walker law.
 Bryant, who was seriousl! wounded in a gun battle in Kensing. 1 ton district a month ago in whicl Edward C. Obertean, a police spy | and Thomas H. Austin, anti-klah in. vestigator, were killed, has been con valescing at his home in Kenmore.

 "I was pot invited to the meeting to give my side, or might have told them that a reconciliation betwex, the mayor and the director was in progress and in any event my poli- cies of law enforcement and clean, safe city would positively be carried out.

ACCUSES BROOKHART OF

Iowa Independent Candidate For Senate Raises Serious Issue
 In His State.

Cedar Rapids, la, Octo. 1-Luther A. Brewer, republican, who last week announced himself as an inde- pendent candidate for senator, today issued a statement regarding the Senator Brookhart letter to national Chairman Butler.
 "Can any republican now delude himself into the belief that Brook hart is supporting or intends to sup port the republican candidates? The statement said. His letter doubtless is the preliminary to an announce ment by him of his own support of the La Toilette ticket. And yet he will be found so politically dishonest as to insist upon the name being printed in the republican column. He has no conception of party loyal ty and allegiance to the party by which he has been honored far be- yond his deserts.
 Under the circumstances no ale glance or support is due him in the present campaign by committees or members of the party in the ranks. His name should be stricken from the republican ballot and the vacan- cy filled by a republican whose sup port of Coolidge and Dawes and re- publican principles is unquestioned. It is about time for the state com- mittee 10 get busy on the process of purifying the republican ballot"

LOS ANGELES, June Its all
wrong about Hollywood and the
movies, and that the motion picture
people can't make their married stuff
stick. It's true that quite a number
of the marriages among members OF
the colony, and between members of
the colony and outsiders. have been
flops, due to poor casting. but that
is n part of the game, as any casting
director will tell you. But to say
there are not happily welded couples
in Follywood-that is ridiculous
1t is wrong, too, to assume that
motion picture folk enter lightly into
the state of matrimony. They have
proved their sincerity. Many OF them
have tried and tried, again and
again, and will just keep on trying
until the end. If that isn't proof
that they are sincere, what woulo
you?
with so much sincerity there could
not help but be happy married
couples in Hollywood. A periodical
devoted to interests of the pictures
and the picture people completed
survey a few days ago and announces
the discovery of five couples in the
motion picture colony who had been
married-to each other-for at least
three years.
Both members of one sketch are
picture actors: in another the wife
acts in the pictures and the husband
works on the practical end of the
game; in the third the husband is
an actor and the wife a sculptor;
in the fourth the husband an actor
and the wife non-professional and
in the fifth the husband an actor
in the pictures and the wife for
mer actress on the stage
Actress Coos of Her Lowe.
OF course there must be more
dozens more of happily married
couples in the motion picture colony
of Hollywood
The ink on the publication was

Mr.. and Mrs. Howard were out

Officials Confident japanese Gov
ernment Will Act in Case.

While administration authorities
here lacked official advices last night
telling of the disorder in Toxic re
ported in press dispatches, they plain
ly showed concern over the general
situation which has developed since
the exclusion provision of the immi-
grafton act became a law.
The conviction was found every
where that the Japanese government
would take prompt and adequate
measures to protect Americans from
injury by lawless elements, and il
was pointed out that the acts of these
elements should in no sense be ac-
cepted as rejecting the attitude of
Toxic government authorities.
In this connection it was recalled
that Ambassador Hanihara in hand
ing to Secretary Hughes the protest
of his government against the exclu-
sion law, was instructed to express
confidence that the communication
would be received by the American
government lin the same spirit of
friendliness and candor" in which it
had been made
One official, who said he had wit
messed scenes of disorder in Toxic
after the recent earthquake, gave it
as his opinion that ruffians had taken
advantage of existing public indigna-
ton against the exclusion act in much
the same way they did tho situation
resulting from the earthquake dis
