and then give verdict. II the Sem
Black true, then it would give a ver-
dict of guilty and Mr.. Black would
be removed The vote in the Senate
must be two-thirds in favor of re-
moval.
The principal ground for impeach-
ment Of Mr.. Black would be his men,
bership in the Ku Klux Klan. Not
necessarily the membership as such.
but the particular language OF the
oath taken by Klsn members.
Case to Be Proven.
About this, it would be necessary
to establish two things. First. 1t
would be necessary to show Mr.. Black
WAS 4 member OF the Khan, and sub
ject to its oath, at the time he became
a justice of the Supreme Court. I'm
peachment can only be made for an
offense occurring after the accused
oficial is in ONCE. To impesch Mr..
Black 1T would not be enough to show
that he at some time in the past took
the Klan oath. II Mr.. Blacks men,
bership in the Klan was terminated
some time ago, he would not be SUBJ
ject to impeachment To impeach
him it would be necessary to show
that at the time he became a Justice
he was still a member of the Klan,
still under obligation OF the Klan
oath.
II it were determined that Mr..
Black continued to be member OF
the Klan at the time he became
justice, 1t would then be necessary to
determine whether the Klan oath is
contrary to the oath taken by Mr..
Black as justice.
The Khan oath, presumably the
authentic version Of it, Was revealed
at hearings on the Ku Klux Klan
before the Committee on Rules of
the House of Representatives In the
Sixty-seventh Congress, October. 1921.
One part of the Klan oath reads: Il
swear that I will most zealously and
valisntly shield and preserve, by any
and all justifiable means and meth
ods white supremacy"
Racial Equality Provision.
At first glance it would seem this
oath to preserve white supremacy"
is contrary to the oath OF A Justice
Of the Supreme Court. For the Con-
stitution. which Mr.. Blacks oath of
once obligates him to support and
interpret, specifically forbids discrim.
ination against Negroes.
Doubtless, however, Mr.. Blacks
friends and attorneys would call at
tention TO a phrase In the Khan oath.
1t will be observed that the oath is To
support white supremacy by any and
all justifiable means" "Justifia BILE
means is important. Any one could
properly swear TO support almost any,
thing-provided the support we're
specifically confined to "justif,s BILE
means"
1t is we'll known that in practice
the Klan discriminates also against
Catholics and Jews. find no mention
OF those religions in the Khn oath.
There is, however. the following para

"REBEL" PASTOR DRAWS
METHODIST SUSPENSION

BY the Associated Press.
CONCORD, N. c., September 25.-
A Methodist Protestant Church court
convicted Rev. G. H. Hendry yesterday
on charges brought after his Charlotte
church seeded from the denomina-
ton and constituted itself a COM
munity church in protest against the
proposed merger of the three great
branches of Methodism.
The court recommended that he be
suspended from all official connection
with the conference.
Shortly after Mr.. Hendry became
pastor Of the First Methodist Protes-
tant Church at Charlotte, the con-
gregation voted not to accept the de-
cision Of the denominations General
Conference to unite with the Southern
and Northern branches of the Metho-
dist Church. Its members organized
the Community Church. Inc" and
the property of the First Church was
transferred to the new corporation.

most solemnly pledge. promise and
swear, Internationally, that I will
willingly conform to all regu-

enacted"
Question Of Discrimination.
In the light Of that part of the
Khan oath, 1t would be necessary to
find whether any Of the regulations,
usages and requirements" of the Khan
call for, discrimination against Cath
olics and Jews. To determine this
would be part of the work OF an i'm
parchment trial.
The main work Of the impeachment
trial would be to determine whether
there Is contradiction between the
Klan oath and the oath of justice.
The oath Of justice, as already taken
by Mr.. Black. is double oath. The
first part Is the general oath taken
by all kinds of officials Of the United
States except the President. for
whom there Is a special form. 1t
reads:
Il do solemnly swear Cor afirm)
that 1 will support and defend the
Constitution OF the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
mestic; that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; that l take
this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose OF eva
sion; and that I will well and faith
fully discharge the duties of the Of
flce on WHICH l am about to enter.
So help me God"
Oath for Justices.
In addition to that, the special oath
for justices Of the Supreme Court,
which Mr.. Black has also taken, reads
as follows:
Il do solemnly swear (or afirm)
that I will administer justice without
respect 10 persons, and do equal right
to the poor and to the rich. and that
l will faithfully and impartially dis
charge and perform all the duties in
cumbent upon me as justice of the
Supreme Court, according to the best
OF my abilities and understanding.
agreeable to the Constitution and laws
OF the United States so help me God"
To determine whether this judicial
oath Is In conflict with the Klan oath.
and also whether Mr.. Black was still
under the Klan oath at the time he
took the judicial oath--to determine
these two points would be the princi-
pal work OF an impeachment trial.
1t seems almost inconceivable that
the House should not impeach Mr..
Black-that is. make official accusa-
tion against him. 1t is practically
certain that some member of the
House will propose impeachment. 1t
is most likely that majority of the
House would vote in favor of the i'm
peachment.
What would happen thereafter in
the Senate would depend upon the
trial. II the trial should bring out
that Mr.. Black was still a member
OF the Khan, still subject to the Khan
oath At the time he became a Justice.
and also that the Klan oath il in con-
tradiction with the judicial oath-in
that event the Senate would be likely

out in seven years of depression
since 1929. There would be much
better feeling in industry and business
today were it not for the alarm being
felt by business men that half the
time the Roosevelt administration
doesn't know what it is doing and
has no plan or purpose but to drift
along and trust TO luck to balance
the budget and take care of high
labor costs
Opportunism in Washington and
pessimism outside are not a happy
combination. but maybe the temporary
recession will open the eyes of the
administration that, when the next
depression does come, they will not
have President Hoover to blame
but will have to face the charge Of
culpability themselves.

He was a cowboy actor, working
in Westerns, with an occasional turn

In 1914 he started making one-reel

Harry Langdon, Polly Moran, TO list

The latest announcement is that the
first big venture of the new firm will
be a parody of, ,"Rigoletto." featuring
Laurel and Hardy. These screen clowns
were, by the way, one of Mr.. Roachs
most profitable discoveries.
There is no hint of international
