A motion of confidence was before the meeting when an adjournment was taken until next Tuesday. It is asserted that if the motion had been pressed to vote it would have been carried by an over whelming majority.
 Partisans of Lord Oxford ex- pressed the view that it would be desirable to acquaint Lord Oxford with the sense of the meeting" and the adjournment was taken to hear his reply
 Exactly what "the sense of the meeting" implies has not been di- vulged, as the participants in the meeting and of the 34 members of the party who attended 22 are be- lieved to have been his supporters.
 While it is generally conceded that the wartime premier came out on top at the meeting. there is virtual concensus of opinion on the part of the political correspondents of the morning newspapers that the gathering neither was nor will be claimed as a defeat for Lord Oxford. and that the tenor of the meeting showed a strong desire for reconciliation between Lord Ox- ford and MT. Lloyd George and restoration of unity in the party.

Cardinal Pifl Pleased
 He Is to Visit America

Vienna, June 1 CP) - Just before leaving for the eucharishc congress at Chicago, Cardinal Piffl, arch bishop of Vienna, yesterday said that he was delighted with the prospect of visiting the United States.
 Catholics have so much to thank the American people for" the cardinal said. "They followed the foremost precept of the Mas ter. They went into the world 10 do good and helped us in our greatest distress. Not alone be- cause of their gifts are we grate- full but because they gave in a manner not to hurt tfe feelings of the receivers. For this delicacy of feeling and consideration I desire 10 thank them."

June tF) - David Lloyd George, chairman of the lib- erals in the house of commons, in an impassioned speech has given the party's commoners his reason for not accepting the invitation of the Earl of Oxford and Asquith. leader of the liberal party, and his supporters who took Mir.

 A large majority of those pres ent at yesterdays meeting of the parliamentary group are said to have supported MT. Lloyd George.

It was due to this manifest wish for peace, according to some of the political writers. that the motion of confidence for Mir. Lloyd George was not pressed to a vote and that the meeting decided to communi- cate to Lord Oxford what was of- ficially described as the sense of the meeting"
 London, June 4 GP) There is talk in the air of an attempt at reconciling the differences between the Earl of Oxford and Asquith and David Lloyd George arising from the recent general strike and correspondence between Lord Ox- ford and his followers in which Lloyd George was virtually read out of the liberal party. The as- sertion is made that Mir. Lloyd George could have a vote of confi- dence from the liberal parliament tary group, of which he is chair man, in the controversy with Lord Oxford, but that it has been deem- ed better to attempt a reconcilia- ton with Lord Oxford, the leader of the party, and thus avert a pos- sible party schism.

NOTHING AGAINST WATSON
Ralph K. Kane Says TeSti-
mony Before Reed Is Not
to Be Relied Upon.

NJ Bert Thurman. appointee of
Senator James E. Watson to the post
of Indiana collector OF internal reve-
nue.. today made public a statement
by Ralph K. Kane on Senator James
A. Reeds investigation OF Indiana
politics.
Kane is assisting Prosecutor VIII
liam Fl. Remy in the grand jury in
vestikation of charges OF political
corruption in Indiana. while ID. c.
Stephenson was in power. Kane's
statement:
II have read the testimony intro.
duced before Senator Reeds commit.
tee. as published in the newspapers.
1t occurs to me that any person Of
average intelligence readily under
stards the motive which is behind
the introduction of the testimony.
II is a matter of almost common
knowledge in Indiana that n coterie
of political enemies of Senator Wat
son have been ready at any time to
destroy hi mpolitically by circulating
any kind of discreditable propaganda
which the would dare to give publit
ity to.
Undoubtedly this is an effort upon
the part OF those men to accomplish
this purpose by using a class of ir
responsible and unreliable witnesses
who are perfectly willing. under
proper inducement to engage in an
enterprise of that kind and who are
not controlled by the restraining In
fiuence of veracity in making their
statements.
Those who are in a position to
know will unhesitatingly say that
Mr.. Watson had absolutely no con-
nection with the Ku-Klux Klan at
any time during its activities in In
diana, and had\no reason for enter
ing into political agreements with its
leaders"
Kane urged Watson's reelection
because Of Watson's great familiar
ity' with international questions,
such as the League of Nations,
World Court and international debts.

WATSON KHAN DENIAL
ANSWERED BY ROGERS
Explains Senator Can Deny
and Be Truthful at
Same Time.
ACQUAINTED NINE YEARS
Former ORGANIZER LauuhS al
Former Organizer Laughs at
Charge He Lied.

Out of the mass of ten days of
testimony in Senator James A.
Reeds inquiry into Indiana politics,
ended Thursday evening at st. Louis.
today stood one bit of testimony as
the most startling of all the startling
evidence introduced:
This was the testimony of William
M. Rogers, former employe of the
city building department and former
Ku-Klux Klan organizer, that Sena-
tor James E. Watson, who next
Tuesday hopes to receive the in
dorsement of the votes of Indiana,
carried card of membership in the
Imperial Klan. the ultra-secret, SUI
per-fraternal. inner circle group to
which only high political lights and
confidential Klan organizers were
admitted.
The testimony came like a bolt of
lightning into the Watson camp. All
week as witness after witness tied
him up with the Klan in testimony
before Reed, Watson has been en-
phatically denying that he was a
Klan member or was in any way
connected.
And then came this testimony of
Rogers.
The bitterness of the Watson re-
joinder came as an index to the i'm
portance which even the Watson
camp placed upon the Rogers
testimony.
''It's a lie," said Watson. "I
have never been a member of the
Klan. never was even invited to
join. The story told by this man
