RACE POLITICIANS PROTEST
TO ALL REPUBLICAN SEN
ATORS AGAINST KLUXER'S
APPOINTMENT

kET6SLOn NEWS O6INlCGJ
Washington, Dec 18.-Race poll
ticians have sent protests to all
Republican senators over President
Coolidge's choice of NJ. 0. Duuning,
to be collector Of customs at Savannah.
The presidents plea, in his message,
for equal rights for the Negro was
discontinued in their mind by his send
ing Cummings name to the Senate al
most simultaneously.
Duning is an avowed leader Of the
Ku Klux Khan, and received $4,000 a
year as a chief organizer in Georgia,
according to the protestants who look
upon his nomination by the president
as his political reward for going into
West Virginia in the last campaign
and organizing the Klan for Coolidge
and against Davis.
They predict the Khan is becoming
Republican adjunct and no longer is
one to vex the Democrats and point to
this case as being the first test.
When Mr. Coolidge was at Swamp
scott Dunning called on him, then
came to Washington and conferred
with Assistant Secretary Of the Treas
ury Andrews A few days later Dun
ming was designated as the new col
lector. Protests were entered then,
emphasizing that Dunning was first a
McAdoo Democrat, who came to the
New York convention and quit John
w. Davis for Coolidge when Davis
attacked the Khan.
Dunning is said to have claimed the
credit for swinging West Virginia, Mr..
Davis home state to Coolidge, and
made this the basis for obtaining the
collectorship.
The recent death Of Henry Lincoln
Johnson, national committeeman and
one OF the most influential men IN the
South, complimented the G. o. P.
patronage problem and the Johnson
organization protested Cummings APP
pointment as depriving it Of patronage
and added insult to injury because Of
Dunning's Klan Affiliations which he.
retains. He is said to have told the
Treasury chiefs he would have to con-
tinue as Khan organizer, as the sal
airy Of collector was not adequate.
Nearly all Republican senator's re-
ceived letters Thursday wherein they
urge the defeat of Dunning's nomina-
ton.

ELAINE HARRIS ATTORNEY
SAYS COURT DECISION EN-
DANGERS MARRIAGE
Preston News Service)

New York, Dec 18.-The perma-
nency Of the marriage tie has been en-
dangered by recent Supreme Court
decision, according to Henry L. Sher-
man, attorney for Mrs Elaine Lee
Harris, whose appeal to reinstate her
as the wife of Beverly D. Harris, a
former Memphis banker, was argued
before the appellate division Tuesday
Sherman stated that Justice Wasser-
vogel charges the jury that annuled
Mrs. Harris union, that the chastity
Of both parties before marriage is
taken for granted, even where the sub
ject is not discussed. Claiming that the
trial justice erred in his charge, Sher-
man said;
Mrs Harris testified that prior to
her marriage in 1915 neither she nor
Harris, at that time vice-president Of
the National City Bank, preached the
subject. Seven years later Harris
brought suit for annulment, charging
that his wife was not chaste before
their wedding.
"Of course, Mrs. Harris denies that
she was unchaste. The security of
marriage is shaken if either husband or
wife, years afterward, can bring suit
to annul on that ground"
Decision was reserved.
One of Harris allegations of fraud
against his wife was that she falsely
represented herself to be the daughter
Of Stacker Lee Of Memphis, Tenn,
whose family owned the famous line of
Lee steamboats, on the Mississippi
river
Mrs. Harris denied ever posing a.
the daughter Of Stacker Lee and her
attorneys filed dispositions by men,
bers of the Lee family, living near
Dover, Tenn, in which they trace the
Lee family from James Lee, senior,
who, they say, was the founder Of the
Lee line of steamboats,. She admit
ted she was the daughter of Mrs. Sa-
luda Ann Harris Lee, and that she is
an illegitimate child. Her husband
knew this before he married her, she

balming in bronze and marble those
things SO dear to its heart, that it
might also erect monument to the
