WHETHER WATSON
CAN STILL PULL
THROUGH, ASKED
Khan Revelations Regarded
as Damaging as Stephen
son Scandal.
BY Roscoe Fleming.

Indiana is recovering from Ku-
klux Khan domination. This was
shown when a trainload Of Hoosiers,
returning here early today from the
Reed committee hearing in Chicago.
we're unanimous that the HKlan reve-
lations are a new blow to Senator
J. E. Watson's chances for re-elec.
ton, as damaging as the Stephenson
scandal.
Whether Jim can still pull
through,e was the universal topic
Of conversation. He had a new
chance today to pull himself off the
fiery cross, when Senator Reed came
here to give Watson a chance to re-
ply.
Watson has denied any under
standing" with the Khan, and denied
most of the testimony of Hugh Pat)
Emmons, former minor Klan official.
At the same time, however, a for
mer Indiana head of the Khan and
his former secretary, were reluctant
ly giving Reed new testimony of
Watson's Khan support.
The Revelations
They admitted indirectly, but to
Reeds satisfaction:
l. That the former Khan dragon,
Walter Dessert, was forced out of
ONCE because he would not agree to
the demands of national Khan Off
Gals to support Watson, and "aban-

told of introducing Watson to Evans
and of conferences by the two.
Emmohs earlier told of an alleged
conversation between himself and
Evans in, which the latter said the
Khan was boosting Watson for Pres
ident.
AS Watson had his chance today
to retrieve his fortunes, new COM
mittee subpoenas were going out for
Klansmen and others to be heard
today.
Mrs. Wheacraft Called
A subpoena already was issued for
Mrs. Vivian r. Wheatcraft, vice
chairman Of the Republican State
committee, and Watson, lieutenant,
who was quoted several months ago
as saying she had poison squad
of women in each county. who won
victory of gossip" for Watson in
the Republican primary. The re-
sulting uproar rated as a storm be
fore the Stephenson apd Khan cy-
clones, although Mrs. Wheatcraft de-
MED the interview.
Despite the rich haul already made
by Reed in information on the Khan,
and the fact that hearings keep the
spilling over the Indiana State
boundaries to furnish leads into the
affairs of The national Khan it is prob
able Reed will close the hearings to-
night.
He is tired and he has speaking
engagements in Missouri for next
week. Although he is being urged to
continue in Indiana, he is said to
feel he has shown the people of the
nation and Indiana the true state of
affairs here already,q and that more
would be an anti-climax. Mrs.
Wheatcraft, who is in Missouri, may.
however, be heard there later.
Comic Relief
Comic relief of the hearings so far
was Republican Chairman Clyde
Walb's statement, in support of his
charge that international bankers "
money was being spent in every pre-
cinct to defeat the Senators, that he
had heard from "a man in Elwood,

NAVY HAS OWN
AVIATION ROW,
HEARING REVEALS
Friction Between Bureaus of
Navigation and Aero
nautiCS.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1879 A. 1I, Ynnk 4 t.cht q


WASHINGTON, May 21.-The
Navy has its own little aviation
row.
An amendment to the pending line
personnel bill designed especially to
protection promotion of naval avi-
ators in resulting in friction between
the Bureaus of Navigation and Aero
nautics.
This developed Thursday in testi-
mony of bureau offices before the
House Naval Affairs Committee.
The testimony showed Commander
John Rogers, hero of the recent San
Francisco Honolulu flight, in the role
of Billy Mitchell of the Navy. Rog-
ers, assistant chief of the Bureau
of Aeronautics, introduced the dis.
turbing amendment.
Opposition to the amendment is
led by Admiral Shumaker, Bureau
of Navigation chief.
The bill proposes that henceforth
all commissioned naval officers shall
be promoted by selection, certain
percentage being dropped at each
promotion. Aviators would be forced
TO compete for promotion against
general line officers.
Rogers amendment would give
