Police Will Move 100, 900 If
Number Turns out-Evans
Explains Plans

Police officials are prepared to
move 100000 marchers in the Ku
Klux Khan parade August 8 along
Pennsylvania avenue within six or
seven hours, Inspector Charles A.
Evans, acting major and superin-
tendent of police, announced today.
Final plans for the parade will
be made next Monday at a con-
ference of L. H. Mueller, imperial
representative, with the police
head. At that time, definite pro-
vision will be decided for the num-
Der of marchers in the procession.
No Night Illumination
Should the parade be still in
progress after dark, there will be
no illumination permitted other
than the street lamps along Penn
syIvania avenue, it was announced
today.
Police officials will not permit
the marchers TO carry lighted
torches or flaming crosses, on the
ground that the avenue Is ade.
quately lighted for such an occa-
sion.
Y Preparations for policing the line
OF march and control of traffic
hinge on whether the number Of
marchers will exceed 10000.
If there are less than this mum.
Der in line, Inspector Evans stated,
they will be brought up Pennsyl-
vania avenue on the south side of
the street to avoid having to cross
the street car tracks at Fifteenth
street. The smaller number would
be marched thirty abreast
Should theS number total 100 600
or more klansmen the parade will
be moved up the avenue in close
formation of sixty or more abreast.
Other large parades have marched
with as many as eighty abreast.
Lines To Be Wide
Using as wide line of march as
possible, police officials believe the
parade can be moved within six or
seven hours.
1t is improbable that the hour for
starting the parade will be changed.
The permit asked that the start
ing time be 3 p. m. Khan officials
do not want a change to be made
even though the marchers ma" be
walking after dark
Literature announcing the event
throughout the cou~ has stated
3 o. m. as the opening time, and it
is believed that many marchers
would not arrive in time should the
hour be changed.
Khan officials have assured the
police that they have planned for
the elimination of traffic conges
ton. They told the police they
have rented large field near
Bethesda. Md, where automobiles
carrying klansmen from other States
will be parked.
Occupants of these cars are to
come into Washington on street
cars.
Mr. Mueller asked District Off.
Gals to give the Khan complete
right of way by closing PennsyI-
vania avenue to street car traffic
during the parade.
This must be acted on by the
Public Utilities Commission.
Stretching of cables along the
curb is to be provided for by post
ing of 81 900 check by the Khan
if the number of marchers is fixed
at more than 40 900.

MT RAINIER
COUNCIL IN
UPROAR
Councilman Raises Protest at
secretary's "5Iah'-Ends
in Police Court

An affair of honor between two
leading civic lights of Mt. Rainier,
Nd, in the council chamber of the
town hall last night ended swiftly
and ANONYMOUSLY, as finals of
such affairs go, with a specially
arranged epilogue to be staged IN
the towns police court tonight.
Parties to Duel"
The parties to the duel were Doc
tor H. p. Clayton, councilman, and
H. w. Blandy, secretary of the Mt.
Rainier Citizens Association and
clerk in the Postoffict Department
A long-standing enmity between
the two flared up last night during
a meeting of the association.
Doctor Clayton rose. in the midst
Of a desultory discussion of civic
matters. and told the assembled
flower OF citizenry that he was
getting tired of coming to the ass6-
citation meetings month after month
and hearing Secretary Blandys
'blah blah." whatever that is.
GaveI Prevents Fight
An anticipatory litter ran through
the ranks of the Mt. Ranierians.
Fight was in the air. Heavy eye
lids that couldn't endure another
minute of debate on the width OF
curbstones, arose and stayed up.
Crack, went the presidents gavel,
and a hasty adjournment saved the
escutcheon of the association from
the blemish of fist fight.
Secretary Blandy stood at his
desk and Doctor Clayton held his
ground nearby. For a moment
fraught with dreadful possibilities
they, glared into each others fiery
eyes. Then they began to state
their personal opinions about each
other, and each others immediate
ancestors.
Constable Drops In
The climax came when Mr..
Blandy reached behind his desk, his
fingers closing on an object which
witnesses are inclined to think was
a notarial seal.
AT this juncture law and order
made its appearance In the person
Of Constable s. F. Jacobs. He COM
manded Blandy to cool off. The
heated secretary replied that he
wouldn't be called liar with i'm
punity. Just then the moral force
OF the law found material assis-
lance in the association members,
who closed around the two antago-
nists and kept them from each
others thrOats.
Secretary Blandy refused to he
quelled. Constable Jacobs arrested
him for disorderly conduct The
case will be heard tonight.

MEMORIAL ROW
LOOMS OVER
SITE
Location For Roosevelt Struc-
ture Might Mean Filling
Part of Basin

A fight between artists and engi-
neers over location of the proposed
Roosevelt Memorial, construction of
which is to begin early next spring,
according to present plans, is re-
garded as a probability within the
next two months.
Present plans call for location Of
the memorial, which will be great
monumental structure, in the only
remaining cardinal point Of the
great Mall plan OF development of
the National Capital This point
lies at the southern end of an
axis through the White House.
crossing the Mall axis vertically
near the Washington Monument.
Location of the memorial on this
axis so as to balance the White
House group will necessitate filling
in of the greater part of the Tidal
Basin.
Invitations have been sent out
to the most prominent architects
and sculptors to submit designs
for the memorial. These designs
are to be submitted not later than
october /, when the final location
of the site will be considered for
submission to Congress January l..
Space Reserved
A space along the border of the
Tidal Basin, east Of Seventeenth
street, on the southern terminus
of the White House axis. has been
reserved for year pending prepa
ration of plans.
Trustees of the Roosevelt Me.
mortal Association were strongly
Influenced IN favor of this site by
the attitude of President Roose-
Velt' VINO was largely instrumental
In creation of the park plan of
1901. This park plan called for a
great memorial group at the point
seIected for the proposed memorial.
Inc Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
ton already has in hand more than
81, 000,0O with which to begin the
construction of the memorial as
soon as the final site is selected
and approved by Congress.
The Tidal Basin site probably will
be bitterly opposed by engineers,
Resha ping of the Tidal Basin will
be necessary If it is followed and
army engineers estimate the cost
OF dredging and filling and con.
structton OF the necessary new sea.
wall at approximately $500, 900.
Plan Opposed
There are now III acres of water
surface in the Tidal Basin. the
water being impOunded in this area
at high tide and used for flushing
out Washington channel at low
tide: Engineers declare that for
sanitary reasons the area Of the
Tidal Basin cannot be reduced and
that if any portion of it is filled
other portions must be dredged
away to restore the area lost.
1t has been suggested that the
Roosevelt Memorial be located on
the knoll at the head of Sixteenth
street beyond Alaska avenue, facing
directly south toward the White
House and overlooking the entire
city. This plan, however is not be-
ing seriously considered.
