NEW YORK. Nov. 2O.-The mar

lie American industrial companies
Increased $685. ,S07,231 in the first
two weeks OF the f'Hoover bull
market" This is shown in check
made today by international News

Shy.rocketing stock prices are no
novelty to Wall Street and the
speculative leaders who have for
the past two years engineered the
most gigantic bull movement in the
history of the stock markets.
But the breadth and velocity of
the November markets, combined
with the almost total disregard for
the laws of gravitation, have
astounded the hard-headed plodder
in Wall Street; created brand new
crop of money-makers in the stock
market-and sent terror to the
hearts of the professional bears,
who have never been able to see
very far beyond the rims Of their
own spectacles.
Here Is the record of swollen
values of industrial common stocks

LIFE Of KHAN IS.
THREATENED
BY COURT

L
The knights of the Ku KIux Khan
today faced the prospect of waging
some bitter political battles for its
life as the result of two supreme
court decisions defining its legal
status.
The court in two cases. one from
Kansas and one from New York, mas
decided that State governments have
power over the organization that
Is bounded, only by the limits Of the
exercise of police power.
The double barreled blow at the
organization in effect provides that
| it must not only bare the secret of
/ its oath and name its members but
also, II State legislature DEGREES,
make complete financial statement
for public inspection.
Comment Declined
It was generally agreed that the
courts decision yesterday in holding
constitutional the Walker law of
New York. which requires the Khan
to file with the secretary of State
its oath, bylaws and membership,
coupled with the Kansas case, has
dealt the Khan a staggering blow.
In. the absence OF DIR. Hiram
Evans, imperial wizard. the Klan's
G.. IL. @. here declined to comment
on the courts action.
The Kansas case, decided two
years, had almost been forgotten
in legal circles when the New York
Idecision was handed down. The
Kansas case was dismissed in Octo-
/ Der 1926, for lack of Jurisdiction.
This had the effect of sustaining a
State supreme court ruling that the
Khan must qualify as a foreign cor
poration in Kansas before it can
operate there.
Must Obey State
Under the Kansas law, which was
before the court, foreign corpora
! ton must gain consent from the
State charter board to function In
| the State, must make full financial
statement of its assets and liabilities
and fully describe its business
The court holds that the freedom
of speech and other personal guar
antee clauses of the Federal Con-
stitution do not protect membership
| in the Khan or the organization from
State police power. lin the Kan
sas case, Khan attorneys claimed
the right to function in. every State
! in the union without hindrance.
The Importance of the New York
case. from the standpoint of anti
| Klansmen, is that 1t turns "pitiless
publicity" on the organization.
While the Khan was ordered to I'M
mask last year, membership Is still
a guarded secret in some sections
of the country.
More Laws Due
An Immediate result of the de-
cisions is expected to be series
OF legislative fights this winter to
enact laws similar to the New
York and Kansas statutes. Because
of the sweeping character Of the
courts decision, more drastic legfsla-
| ton may be proposed.
While Justice VanDevanter, who
delivered the opinion in the New
York case, quoted literally from
New York court decisions attacking
the Khan, the courts direct COM
ment was limited

ON SHIPS AND
PEACE PACT
By KENNETH CLARK
international News Service

One of the fiercest battles of the
approaching short session of Con-
gress doomed today over the Kel-
logg Anti-war Treaty and the
Naval cruiser building BILL
Heretofore it has appeared the
Kellogg pact would be ratified by
the Senate with nothing more than
perfunctory opposition. But since
president Coolidge's Armistice Day
speech, the Congressional small
Navy" group and representatives
of peace organizations have stiff
ened their ranks to head off the
cruiser bill by using the kellogg
Treaty as club over the Admin
istration
1t is their plan to bring up the
treaty for ratification before the
debate starts over the Navy pro-
gram. The Navy bill, calling for
construction of Is cruisers and one
airplane carrier, was passed by the
House but caught in the closing
mains before the Senate as I'M
finished business.
Tired Of Bickering
President Coolidge told the Amer
can Legion that this Government
was tired of pickering. especially
with Great Britain and France, over
disarmament proposals which would
hamstring the United States on
10,O0O-ton cruisers, but would not
limit the smaller classes of ships
desired abroad. The big Navy"
advocates were jubilant. Backed by
the Administration the cruiser bill
would be enacted speedily, they
said.
The opponents frankly became
alarmed. They admitted their
strength was not sufficient to stop
the Navy program unless they had
a buffer to forestall action. They
have determined, il possible, to
delay the treaty ratification in the
hope that overtures might be made
for another naval disarmament
conference that would obviate the
cruiser program. They are hopeful
the new Hoover Administration will
take steps to renew disarmament
negotiations with the powers.
Their Argument
Their chief argument in the Sen.
ate will be based on this reasoning:
How can you offer the world
peace treaty to renounce war in
one hand and in the other build
ing program calling for 16 new
warships? How can the two be
justified, or even reconciled. before
the world?''
The same tenor runs through the
reports from abroad telling of the
reception of President coolidge's
speech, one of the most vigorous
he has delivered.
Administration Senators declared
there is nothing at all incompatible
in the two proposals. The Kellogg
pact, they said. is designed to cover
wars of aggression, and the cruiser
plan is to bring up America to the
5-5-3 naval parity.
1t is a defensive, rather than an
aggressive, policy. and certainly
none would deny this Government
the right to prepare solely for de-
Tense. according to their argument.
