Chile Agrees Attacks Be

AFRICA, Chile, Jan. 49, The pie

vestigation of alleged disorders and
attacks upon Peruvians who were be-
ing brought into the disputed zone to
support with their votes the Peruvian
side of the plebiscite that will determ-
inc whether the territory goes to
Chile or Peru. The economic reason
behind the dispute is the control over
the export of nitrates from the inland
mines.
The last two weeks has seen sew
eral attacks by Chileans who, claim.
ing that Peru was importing Peru
VANS who were not natives of the
zone in dispute, met some of them at
the railroad stations and mobbed
them, several needing medical care
for weeks.
Another case was the attack by
Chileans on the Peruvians from the
transport Rimac, bringing them from
Peruvians points. To all these com.
plants Augustin Edwards, Chile's
commissioner replied that he and the
Chilean government condemned the
attacks in unmeasured terms and was
very willing for an Investigation. The
case is being used, however, to just.
ify General Pershing's severe attitude
toward Chile.

CAT and MOUSE
WITH MEXICO
Softens Attitude But
Don't Recall Note

WASHINGTON d. c., Jan. 1.-THE
custom Of the Washington government
to play cat and mouse with Mexico
is exemplified by the announcement
here, after the autocratic note sent to
Mexico City Saturday warning the
Mexican government against passing
land laws displeasing to the Wall St.
investors, that-after all-the Coo
lidge administration is not going to
threaten" or "brandish the big stick"
Nervous Nellie Backs Up.
Grandmother Kellogg, otherwise
known as Nervous Nellie" on account
Of his barring OF the Karolyis, yester-
day held conference with Coolidge
and John Barton Payne, one of the ne
gotiators of the conference which re-
suited in recognition of Mexico. Aft
erward, the news was issued "unofi-
cially" that Washington would not be
harsh.
The reply of Mexico to the hostile
note is expected soon. 1t is expected
to be to the effect that Mexico will
permit no foreign dictation of what
the the Mexican congress passes as
law and if anyone is hurt by them,
he can appeal to the courts of the
Mexican republic.
Unpleasant Analogy.
This point of view is, unfortunately,
parallel to the viewpoint of the United
States itself, which, in reply to the
Japanese notes protesting against i'm
migration restriction laws pending in
congress, expressed it's violent dis
pleasure and fastened passage of the
law-and in addition managed to get
the Japanese ambassador to Washing
ton recalled as a sign of surrender.

KLANSM N LOSE
OFFICE; ALMOST
LOSE NIGHTIES
Farce Comedy Staged in
Auto City
BY OWEN STIRLING.
Especial 10 The Daily Worker)

DETROIT, Jan. IS. - Disruption
threatens the ku klux khan in Detroit
and Michigan. It's force is paralyzed
at present by deadlock in a clash
for control involving the state and
the Wayne county factions. A ma
tional executive officer, is expected
here to take control if necessary in
an effort to save the organization for
this former stronghold.
Lost in Straight Fight.
Not only the local khan but the ma
tional organization suffered a severe
loss of strength and prestige in the
failure last fall to elect Chas. Bowles
mayor Of Detroit. Bowles, the klans-
man, lost by 10000 in, a clear-cut khan
and anti-klan fight The campaign
was the most important one in the
country for the national organization.
To have placed a klansman in the
mayors chair in the fourth city in the
country would have given the organ
ization's racial, religious and anti
Communist campaign great impetus
everywhere. The present factional
strife grew out Of that failure.
An incident in the decline of the
khan was the raiding of the khan
palace" by constables this week.
More than S400 worth of furniture and
'negligee" was moved into the street
for non-payment of two months rent.
The armed headquarters guard NUT
tered and swore but could do nothing.
After the furniture was moved out
Seward Nichols, an assistant prosecu-
ting attorney of Wayne county and a
member of the local khan kloncilium,
rushed on the scene with check for
$424.60, to cover the rent and court
costs. The check was signed by
Nichols father, Arthur S. Nichols,
exalted cyclops.
Burlesque of Naughty Knight.
Constable Andy Phillips had pre-
viously refused to accept a check
from somebody he didn't know moth
ing about" signed by L. E. Black, an
other member of the kloncilium, or
executive council. But Andy accepted
the NICHOLS check ana the DAY was
saved for the khan. 1t was the kind
of burlesque and fiasco that usually
marks the last days of strength, for
hoodlums who go around all dressed
up. 500
The event was made more amusing
for local observers because Of the re-
putation of Andy Phillips His name
usually appears in the papers in con-
nection with a Triumphant entry into
a lady's apartment or boudoir to serve
"the papers," after she has evaded
service on the street. Ladies in kimo-
mas or cyclops in sheets; it's all the
same to Andy.
Opera bouffe!
1t is believed the khan can never
come back in Detroit.
