the short term debt may not be re-

should be quite simple to handle,
and the only major operation in

reduced over 100000, and with
open years into which to refund
what cannot be paid, the problem
presented does not appear serious.

Asks All Faiths
Protest Capital
Parade of Kluckers

Washington, June 27-Re pro-
posal of l.. A. Mueller Grand Kleagle
of the Ku klux Khan for the District
of Columbia, to have monster
, parade of Klansmen in Washington
on Aug. 8, has served to bring out
differences between the existing Khan
organization and former high Khan
officials.
The most active opponent Of the
parade appears to be Thomas L..
Avaunt, president of the Protestant
Knights of America, former klans
man.
A short time ago Avaunt was max
ing speeches against Catholics, Jews
and negroes, but he is now credited
with having sent kilograms to Cardi-
nal O'Connell of Boston and Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise of New York, call
ing on them to protest against the
khan parade, and to be backing the
protest filed with the commissioners
of the District of Columbia by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
He is said to have sent appeals to
try to stop the parade to President
Coolidge. Clarence barrow of Chi
cago and William Jennings Bryan.
The Washington police have taken
cognizance of predictions that the
parade will result in disorders and IL
was said at police headquarters today
that preparations for meeting trou-
BILE would be hade. D..
The Washington Times quotes
Avaunt as saying that an attempt
was made to assassinate him early
this morning while he was driving
an automobile. According to the
Times story, Avaunt asserted that
man got out of a motor car AMI
fired shot at him which grazed his
cheek.
Hiram w. Evans. imperial wizard
of the khan, has established himself
in Washington. 1t was intimated
here today that a statement about
the proposed khan parade might be is
sued in behalf of the imperial wizard
next week.
A statement purporting to come
from Avaunt warns Washington peo-
pie to remain away from the route
of the parade on Aug. 8, says that
gunner have been imported to start
reign of terror, predicts bloodshed,
and calls on Protestants, Catholics
and Jews and all good citizens to
