KLAN LEADERS
WATCH INDIANA
National Workers Reported
Preparing for 1928.

National leaders again are turning
their attention to the Indiana realm
of the Ku-Klux Klan, apparently

an effort to untapgle the Klan sit
uation. Klansmen who have striven
for individual and factional power
have made a mess of the local situa-
ton from a national viewpoint, it
is said.
Significance also was attached to
the fact that DOC" Mcdowell of At
lanta, associated with Imperial
Klailiff K. w. Ramsey OF the de-
partment of realms, also was here
temporarily in charge of the Indi-
ana realm Office. w Lee Smith,
whose status as grand dragon in In
diana is in doubt, was reported out
of the State on speaking tour in
the East and in Illinois for several
weeks.
Berridge declined to reveal his
mission except to say he was in the
State to help "builo things up.

Harding family say they have been
unable to find anyone with definite
knowledge of any love affair be-
tween the girl and Mr.. Harding.
Intimacy Fast
When Miss Britton still was in
her teens, she says in her book,
she came to New York in search of
position. With the aid of MIR.
Harding, who wrote a letter to the
late Judge Elbert H. Gary, she OBJ
tanned a secretarial post in the
United States Steel Corporation.
A fast-ripening intimacy between
the girl and the then Senator is
described in detail, with the places
and approximate dates of their
meetings.
Throughout the volume, Miss
Brittion refers to Mr.. Harding
glowingly. He appears as her ideal
Of perfection and many panegyrical
passages appear in the work.
Their meetings were not confined
to New York hotels and apartments,
the book relates. Frequently, when
he was campaigning or appearing
for business reasons in other cities,
she would accompany him or join
him, she writes.
Love Letters Torn Up
Love letters of many pages were
exchanged, Miss Britton goes on.
These were torn up by mutual de-
cision, but she retained many other
letters from Mr.. Harding, she says,
and copies of these are published
in the book.
She visited the Senator in his Of
ficial chambers at Washington, she
says, and went with him to hotels
in various cities, where she usually
registered as miss Christian" us
ing, at Mr.. Harding's suggestion,
the surname of his secretary, "as a
good joke"

was born in Asbury Park, N. j., on

friends she was the wife of Lieu
tenant Christian" who was assigned
in France, and even addressed let
ters to the fictitious husband. The

out in the name of Elizabeth Ann
