HEARING FOR kLAN
RECEIVER WAIVED
Counsel at Atlanta Agrees to Per-
NIT Case to Come to Trial
on Merits.
~ the Associated Press.

8y the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, october 27.-Judge Sam
uel Sibiey of United States District
Court announced today that hearing on
a petition for preliminary injunction
and receiver against the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan and others had been
waived by agreement Of counsel. The
hearing had been set for today.
Judge Sibley explained that attorneys
for c. r. Rice, the plaintiff, and for
the Klan, had decided to permit the
case to come up for trial on its merits

Charging that the organization spent
large sums" to spread "slander, villih-
cation and libel on and about Alfred
E. Smith," Democratic presidential
nominee, In violation Of State laws, the
suit alleged the Klan is insolvent.
Mr. Rice, who identified himself as
q member Of the Klan and a resident

CAVE-|N DEATHS
PROBED BY Jury
Witnesses and Building Ex-
pertS Called in Effort
to Fix Blame.

A coroner's jury met at II o'clock this
morning at the morgue to hear dozen
witnesses and the opinions of building
inspectors In an endeavor to fix reSpon-
sibility for the deaths of two workmen
Thursday afternoon when a cave-in
occurred at the site for the new hotel
which the Cafritz Construction Co. is
erecting at Fourteenth and x streets.
DR.. J. Ramsey hewitt, District coroner,
has requested the appearance of the in
spectors who have been making an in
vestigation at the scene Of the accident
so that their expert advice may be OBJ
tained for the benefit of the jury.
Inspector Fixes Blame.
While the inspectors inquiry is not
yet completed, the accident is believed
by Col. John w. Oehmann, District
building inspector. to have been caused
by the improper removal of timber
snoring, which had held the dirt side
of the wall.
The accident has served to focus at
the building inspectors Office is working
and has led Maj. Donald A. Dawson, as
Sistant to the Engineer Commissioner,
to begin preparation of program for
the reorganization and expansion of the
Office
Col. Oehmann has endeavored for
some years to obtain the approval of the
Budget Bureau for such a plan without
success, but the program is to be submit
ted again for inclusion in the Districts
estimates for the next fiscal year.
I'VE haven't enough inspectors to in
spect the hundreds of building opera
tions properly to begin with" Maj Davi-
son said. Our jobs building inspectors
have 200 or more jobs to inspect at one
time. 1t is humanity impossible for
them to remain at one important job
all the time.
Lack Of Money Cited.
I'VE have not been allowed sufficient
money in the next place, to employ
highly trained inspectors with the tech
nical knowledge that is essential to pass
on matters they must Judge"
There are 10 inspectors to cover the
entire city, assigned to different terri
tories Under the plan now being worked
out the inspectors will be divided by the
type of work they do.
Col Oehmann takes the position that
the amount of work his office must pass
on is indicated by the number of per-
mitS and not the total value of the
buildings which has been the guide
heretofore in approving estimates for
the inspectors Office.
