State. Senator Reed was expected to
reply to this request today.
Senator Reeds decision to seek fur
ther information on the Indiana sit
uation, particularly in regard to
charges of Ku klux Klan domination,
was understood to have resulted from

titled that the resignation OF Walter
F. Bossert of Indianapolis as grand
dragon of the Indiana Klan was de-
manded at this meeting because he
would not support Senator Watson.
All the testimony relative to Sena-
tor Watson's alleged connections with
the Klan was refuted by the senior
Indiana Senator. Senator Reed then
subpoenaed six more witnesses, un-
derstood to be mostly former Klan
memserS, to appear at st. Louis to-
morrow The names were withheld

Lloyd George Gets
Perfect Fit i'm Hat;
Designs 1t Himself
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, October 27. David
Lloyd George has taken to design
ing his own hats. He likes a hat
with individuality. There was no
hatmaker in London who could
frame a hat to suit him. So he
took the matter in his own hands.
Now he has perfect fit, with a
bright blue soft hat. designed to
stand out in contrast with his
abundant gray locks.
Even before he began having his
hats made to special order,
Lloyd George tilt made an ordinary
hat appear altogether different
than it would on another head. So
far as wearing hats in an original
manner is concerned, Lloyd George
has only two rivals in England
the Prince of Wales and Admiral
Lord Beatty, each of whom gives
his headgear an original tilt. which
the young bloods for years have
been trying unsuccessfully to imi-
tate.

Pistol Was Held 10 Inches
From Body, Experiments
in Firing Indicate.
BELIEF DETECTIVE SLEW
SELF RECEIVES SETBACK
Difficulty of Pointing Weapon at
Side From Distance Puts New
Aspect on Case.

Test made under the supervision
of Coroner J. Ramsey hewitt on the
dock at the rear Of the District
Morgue today indicated that the
pistol from which a bullet was fired
into the heart of Detective Sergt
Arthur B. Scrivener early on the
morning of Wednesday, October 1S,
was held a distance of approximately
10 inches from the body.
This finding is only tentative, ac'
cording to DIR. Joseph D. Rogers
deputy coroner, in whose hands the
post -mortem examination was placed
He said his final opinion will not be
rendered until careful analysis is com
pleted.
The effect of this finding would be
TO strengthen the theory that SERVE
ner was'murdered and to cast shad'
ow over any theory of self-destruc-
ton, it was declared after the tests.
The tests consisted of firing the
pistol which was found at Scrivener' s
feet at the scene of his death into the
light overcoat which Scrivener had
been wearing on that night.
Inquest Monday Morning.
Immediately after the tests, Coroner
Nevitt announced that the inquest
conducted Monday morning at IL
o'clock.
Six bullets were fired into the over
coat during the tests. These shots
were fired with the muZzle of the
pistol held at ranges varying from
2 inches to II inches.
A casual comparison then was made
between the smudges and powder
burns made during the tests and the
powder burn around the hole in the
garment where the fatal bullet pene.
trated it.
The first hole, made at the closest
range, was deep black-brown burn,
entirely unlike the lighter brown burn
made with the shot that killed
FScrivener.
AS the range increased by inches,
the burns were less black and merged
according to DR.. Rogers, was appar-
emily at a range of about 10 inches.
Resembles Old Burn.
The burn at this range resembled
in it's coloring the burn in the left
lapel of Scrivener's coat, which COW
cred the part near the heart.
The coat was then tried on persons
of about the same stature as Scrivener
Attempts were made with the un-
loaded weapon to hold it's muzzle 10
inches from the body, in a direct at
tempt to test the facility or difficulty
with which a person could inflict such
a wound upon himself.
After watching these tests, DR..
Rogers stated tentatively that 1t
seemed on it's face a matter bordering
upon physical impossibility for a per.
son to hold the pistol 10 inches from
the body and send a bullet into the
body from left to right through a line
crossing the heart.
Detectives investigating the case
were present at the tests, which were
designed by Coroner hewitt and Dep
uty Coroner Rogers. These included
Detectives Ira Keck. B. w. Thompson
and E. J. Kelly. They expressed no
opinion.
Meanwhile, it became known that
the Bureau of Standards had been
asked to test the tensile strength of
the necktie found in Scrivener's hand,
in connection with the theory that
such a necktie could not be pulled and
torn from a mans neck in the manner

 Coucident with thc resignation from the army of Lieutenant ogden lin Washington yesterday, Licutcu ant Wade, in New York, announced i hat he too, was about to resign ami that the two of them will make the flight,
 Licut. Wade will lead the eXpcdi- 1 tiou and Lieut.. Ogden will be his assistant. Other army hirrs are oX- pected to join them, but their names arc withheld until their IrcsigNutions become certain. Lieut.. Wade denied that his own with draWal from the army was prompt cd by tho suspension and rrsigna- ton of Colonel William Mitchell.
 The flight is~to be known as the American University Alumni expodi- tion. and is backed by rromnen; alumni of Harvard, Yale, Princeton land the University of Pennsylvania. It was first suggested by Robert Anderson Pope, New York engineer and Harvard graduate, who has spent five years in the Arctic.
 One of it's primary objects, Lieut., Wads said. will be the location or land near the Pole as q possible airplane base for the nitcd States
 So some extent this obpoct par Hllrls that of another trans-Polar expedition sponsored by the Detroit Aviation society and now mcbilizing lin Alaska under tn" direction Oi Captain George Wilkins. As Lieut., Wade outlined his plans last night, however, they are concerned more with the acquisition and utilization of territory than the Detroit eNpe- dtion, which has been announced as chiefly for scientific exploration.
 Lieut.. Wade, like Captain Will kins. said he entertained no doubt that land docs exist in the ice noca north of Alaska. And that if wouId he possible to establish Il flying bas' upon it.
 Success would go far to yisual~ ize the enormous latent possibiIiti", of aviation," the army tlicr said. "rhe land VIC shall seek we believe to be located on the great circle routes between the occiQent and orient--thc most logical site for an airplano base for Lcndon-Tokyo air traffic."
 Lieut.. Wade expects 10 resign from the army within the next two weeks. The expedition hopes 10 leave Seattle on June s, and 10 make it's first nights carly in Jnly.
 It will be equipped with five Douglas planes, each carrying 1hrc" 32o horsepower motors. The party like those in the Wilkins expedition expect to live on the land if it be- comes necessary.
 There arc now four Polar oypedi- lions scheduled including the Wade and Detroit flights. The other two are those of Roal1 Amundson and the Byrd expedition, The latter is backed by q group of wealthy mon including John D, Rockefeller, Jr" and Henry Ford.
