DR.. Lake continued: ut seems
to us that we have here the miss

extremely probable that the al

KLAN HEAD PROPOSES
new MARRIAGE LAWS
Evans Expresses Opposition to
America Making War With
Mexico at This Time.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG. Pa, January 10
Hiram w Evans of Washington, inn
perial wizard of the knights of the
ku klux Khan, addressed a meeting
of klansmen here last night on the
power to annual marriage and the
Mexican situation.
He. read two proposed laws on mar
riage which, he claimed, if adopted
by. the Legislatures of the various
States, would strike deep to the root
of this problem and will solve it,"
The laws proposed by DR.. Evans
would make it against the public pol
icy for any persons to question the
validity or the sanctity of any mar
riage solemniZed in accordance with
State laws, and would make it unlaw-
full to agree to educate children ac-
cording to the tenets of any partiCu-
lar church.
As to Mexico he said:
THE President and the administra
ton are firmly resolved to protect
the rights of American citizens in
Mexico and they should receive the
united support of the American peo-
Pile. | would call the administration S
attention to the f~ct that we have en-.
gagged in two puerile attempts at war
with weakened defenseless Mexico
and today | would not make war with
Mexico"
He attributed the restriction of i'm
migration act and the defeat of the
World Court resolution largely to
Khan influence.

Todas Resembles Gypsies.
+: Manchester Guardian


An ancient race in India, the Todas.
nearly extinct now. resembles the
gypsies. Its members speak a strange
tongue. They make novels out of
mud, topped with kind of pyramid.
in the hollows of the hills They are
sullen and savage. They worship
dark, occult gods whose names are
known to themselves alone-perhaps
the gods who preside over death and
life. They do not wander like the
gypsies. In their isolation wolves and
vultures and jackals are their IA
miliars. They worship stones and
stars, the grass, dawn and the moon.
