will be held In Washington Septem.
ber IS, IA and Is. according to the
announcement of G. E. LaVigne, eX-
ecutive director of the Washington
convention bureau. The convention

considered as any other gathering,
Mr.. LaVigne announced.
The convention will include dele
gates and high officials of the ku
Klux Klan throughout the country
and IL is expected that the attendance
will run up into the thousands. Nc
definite figures could be given, accord
ing to Mr.. La Vigne. AS in handling
any other convention, the bureau will
arrange for hotel reservations and
other accommodations for the visiting
klansmen. No information could be
given as to whether there will be a
parade Headquarters will be at the
Washington Auditorium, according tC
Mr.. La Nigne
Original plans. 1t is understood
were for big 'klonvocation" in Phil
adelphia. but these were abandoned
because of lack of encouragement by
city officials.
1t is understood national officers
of the Invisible Empire will be
elected, State officer designated, and
the program for the next two years
decided upon.
Inquiry at the District Building dis
closed that no permit for a parade
by the Klan has been requested to
date.
The gathering this. time will he a
wholly national affair. it was learned.
The parade and attendant ceremonies
on the occasion of the first demonstra-
tion were under auspices of the local
Khan organization, which issued invi-
tations to State groups.
Boycott Action Is Seen.
Plans for the convention are said
to have been under consideration at
a recent conference of Klan eXecu-
tives in Chicago. The situation in
Philadelphia is supposed to have
been taken up at that time and a
decision reached to boycott" the
City of Brotherly Love, so far as
Khan assemblies go.
The Khan has not staged a public
demonstration of outstanding char
acter since the parade in the Capital
last August. A national "klonvoca-
ton" was held in Kansas City in
1924.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 30.--It is only
little less than four years since the
bodies of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall, A years old, for 10 years rector
of the fashionable Church of st. John
the Evangelist, New Brunswick, N.
j., and Mrs Eleanor Reinhardt Mills,
"a, pretty, romantic and intelligent
wife of the sexton of DIR. Halls church
and singer in the choir, were found
lying side by side in field of golden
rod near the ancient and supposedly
abandoned Phillips farmhouse" in the
outskirts of New Brunswick.
They had been dead two days.
There were bullet wounds in the
heads of both, and Mrs. Mills throat
was cut from ear to ear. The bodies
were laid out carefully. Mr.. Halls
hand was on Mrs. Mills shoulder.
The homes of the principals We're
in Middlesex County. The bodies had
been placed just over the county line,
in Somerset County.
Case Without Parallel.
The case tfus presented was in
some respects probably without par
allel in criminal history, and after
months of effort its solution seemed
hopeless and the inquiry came vir-
tually to a standstill. Recent events
have revived 1t, with startling devel.

that something Of this nature
