William Joseph Simmons Goes
on Stand Before House
Rules Committee.
ASSURED FAIR HEARING
WASHINGTON, D. C. f Oct. 11.—Im
pt-ruii Wizard William Josepn Simmons
of toe Ku-Kiux Kuiu appeared otlore
tlie iioaoe itinea lomimitw today ready
to defend uls "Invisioie empire,”
He demined to make any statement be
fore taking tite witness stand otuer tuan
to say ne was suitering Horn a severe
cold.
Just before tbe Rules Committee mot
Representative Camyoeil, Kansas, stated
tnat if any evidence was presented in
tbe bearings indicating tne s.au was op
erating m vioiatiun of Federal laws, a
coni pi, to lnveoU b auon of tne order would
be approved by bis committee.
Campueli worked late into the night
with Attorney General Daugherty, agents
of tbe Department of Justice and in
spectors of tbe Postofflce Department, go
ing over evidence collected wiiinu tne
last few weeks in a secret investigation
of tne kian.
CAJU’BhLL SILENT
Bnl'OKb INQUIRY.
He demined to make any statement re
garding the evidence.
“We do not want to prejudge charges
made against the klan,” Campbell said.
“Representatives of the order will have
a fa.r hearing before the committee.”
I The main purpose of the preliminary
Inquiry, according to members of the
Rules Committee, is to determine whether
theri* is evidence to indicate that:
1. The klan is responsible for sev
eral outrages against citizens, par
ticularly in Southern States.
2. The local klans are in effect con
spiracies in violation of Federal and
State laws.
3. The klan is using the mails to
defraud.
INVESTIGATE TAX
RETURNS TO U. S.
Tue cuuimiitee also may inquire lntv
whether officials of the klan have made
a true accounting to Federal tax author
ities of funds they have collected
"Officials of tae lvu-Klux Klan have
collected approximately $30,000,000 from
their 600,000 fellow members upon which
the Government has received no tax re
turns,” Representative Tague of Massa
chusetts. declared before the Rules Com
mittee. said be arrived tl the
figures from information furnished by
the klan officials.
Chairman Campbell, of the rules com
mittee, summarized the charges as viola
tion of postal laws by using the mails
for non-maiiable matter, and lawless acts
by the klan with its members masked
to t r *ve:it identification. Each of these
matters, Campbell held, were of sufficient
gravity to warrant the investigation by
the committee.
Tague said he started the Investigation
against the klan several months ago, be
cause of complaints he had received of
violations of rights of the people and
viola - ion of the laws by the klan. \
With the opening of the Investigation
of the kian, Tague made anew legislative
move against the organization.
He introduced in the House a resolu
tion requiring filing with the Department
Hos Justice, by every organization accused
of being inimical to the public welfare
In violation of State or Federal laws, of
a certified copy of its constitution, by
laws, a roster of its membership and
authorizing the Postmaster General on
the recommendation of the Department
of Justice, to exclude from the mails all
literature of all organizations placed un
der ban by the Government.

legion national convention at a meeting:
of the Seventh district delegation to the
convention last night. George Rinier,
Henry C. Ketcham and Maurice Tennant
were elected alternates.
RECOMMENDS ENGLISH
AS BASIC LANGUAGE.
The report of the Americanism com
mittee, read by Frank McHale of Logans
port, chairman of the committee, and
recommending that legislation be passed
to make English the basic language of
instruction in the United States In the
elementary and high schools, was adopted
This report also urged that American
Legion posts be represented at hearings
on petitions for naturalization, and that
Instruction In the courtesies due the flag
be given to children- In the schools.
At the same time the report called
for legislation for more drastic punish
ment of persons guilty of disrespect to
the national emblem.
The legislative committee's report
urging that the department reaffirm Its
Position on the four-fold compensation
and demand that the bill, providing
for that plan, which has been tabled at
the President reqnest by the Senate, be
pushed through the Senate at once, was
adopted.
GUARD AGAINST
REMOVAL EFFORT.
Some debate was precipitated by an
amendment offered by Joseph D. O'Neill
of Muncie, to a report by Dr T. Victor
Keene, the national executive committee
man. on the subject of guarding against
efforts that may be made at Kansas City
to remove national headquarters from
Indianapolis. Dr. Keene called on the
Indiana delegates and others to go to
the national convention (at Kansas City
late this month) prepared to resist any
move to change the national headquar
ters. O’Xelll moved that the delegates
also be instructed to introduce a motion
to bring the offices and staff of the
American Legion Weekly to Indianapolis.
After It was shown that steps are already
under way to bring this about the
O'Neill motion was defeated, but not un
til after considerable argument had
passed.
The unemployment condition was given
consideration by a committee on employ
ment and it was recommended that every
post appoint an employment officer to
aid ex-service men to find jobs, and the
posts of every community were called on
to urge county and city officials to start
work on all public improvements possible
so that the idle might be absorbed in
such construction work.
CUT SALARY
OF ADJUTANT.
The salary of the department adjutant
was reduced from $4,000 to $3,000 a year
on the recommendation of the Finance
Committee. This committee also killed
a plan to publish a monthly State legion
magazine, by expressing Its opposition
to an increase In State duc-3. To finance
magazine it would have been neces
to have increased the dues of each
member about 25 to 50 cents.
A motion was made to table this re
port, but It wag lost.
A special committee, headed by Judge
Arthur R. Robinson, of the Irvington
Post of Indianapolis, was appointed to
draft a letter to Colonel Glgnflliat, the
retiring commander, expressing the ap
preciation of the members of the de
partment for the commander's leadership.
"We send you our most affectionate
greetings and hopes for your complete
restoration In health,” read the letter,
which was sent to the colonel at Glacier
Park, where he Is resting. \

end to them or to the attractions they
contain.
There are attractions for every one,
'egardless of whether o::e' *niiid turns
toward things utilitarian or things at
tractive, chiefly because of their beauty k .
There are various displays of things to
eat aud things to drink and things to
wear, and articles of bouse furnishings
and stoves and furniture and things to
light one’s way—-though to be literal, the
lights are largely of the nonportable va
riety, attached by wires to their sources
of supply; and automobiles, and, well —it
seems practically an Impossible task to
give even the barest outline of their na
ture or attractiveness.
The exposition was thrown open in
formally to the public at 0 o’clock last
evening, announced by tbe blowing of
many whistles throughout the city.
From this informal opening to the formal
opening, at 8 o’clock, the visitors were
entertained by a band concert In addition
to the exhibits.
The formal opening ceremonies were
held In what la known as. the circle. In
the center of the building. John B.
Reynolds, secretary of the Indianapolis
Chamber of Commerce, spoke of the for
mal ceremonies that are to take place in
the building during the course of the
show, and then Introduced O. B. lies,
chairman of the manufacturers’ commit
tee, which Is staging the exposition; Mr.
lies Introduced Charles F. Coffin, presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce, to
whom he turned over the exposition, and
In turn Mr. Coffin tnrned the exposition
over to Mayor Charles \V. Jewett, who.
In turn, with befitting ceremony, gave It
to the city of Indianapolis and the State
of Indiana.
And then at 9 o’clock Governor Warren
T. McCray talked by wireless telephone
to Mayor Jewett and other exposition
officials from the downtown offices of
the Merchants Heat and Light Company,
congratulating Indianapolis manufac
turers for building an “Indianapolis
Under One Roof” exposition.
GOVERNOR SPEAKS ,
OVER WIRELESS.
L. G. Rothschild of the heat and light
company introduced the Governor as fol
lows: “Gentlemen of the Industrial
Exposition: I take gijeat pleasure in in
troducing by wireless telephone our dis
tinguished Governor, the Honorable War
ren T. McCray.”
Governor McCray said in part:
“Fellow Citizens:
“The citizens of Indiana and especially
the citizens of Indianapolis are to be
congratulated upon the auspicious open
ing of this great Industrial Exposition.
It Is especially fitting and appropriate
that this remarkable show has been
planned and staged in this wonderful wav
at this particular time when the indus
trial activities of the country are just
beginning to take on new life after pass
ing through the depression following the
great World War.
SEES END OF
INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION.
"It is an absolute Impossibility for our
great resourceful country to remain long
la a state of financial and Industrial In
action. The spirit of the talented men
and women who dominate the business
life of the Nation impells them to go
forward and overcome any and all ob
atacles encountered which may tempor
arily check their advance and cause a sus
pension of their activities. Indiana la
fast crowding to the very front in the
number and aeope of lta varied Indus
tries. The name and fame of our manu
fsetured products have traveled around
the world, and have become houaemold
words in the homes of eve r y nation. The
trade marks and names of tbe goods made
In Indiana are familiar in every seaport
where the proud mnnarehs of the deep
have carried the world's commerce.
1 "T congratulate the business men of
Indianapolis and Indiana for the maenifi
i cent industrial display they have assem-
J bled .1 hope it wil' be so successful that
lit will become an annual event. I am
anxious-to see the Indiana State Fair
| become more intimately connected and
: more closely associated with the indus
trial and social life 6f Indianapolis. Why
would it not be a good Idea to make this
an annual occasion, combining these two
great educational exhibitions and there
by rive the people outside of Indian
apolis a chance to become better acquaint
ed with their capital city and her varied
and extensive industries. It would also
give the people of the city a chance to
visit and enjoy the splendid exhibition
made by agriculture and its allied oc
cupations. The two should go band In
hand and embrace the opportunity that
would work to their mutual advantage
by increasing the chances for effective ad
vertising at considerably lessened cost.
“I am proud of Indiana and her re
sources lam proud of Indianapolis, her
enterprise and creative ability. The kind
of progressive, unique and attractive ad
vertising that suggested to the Mer
chants Heat and Light Company that my
message should he given to you In this
way. Is the kind of enterprise and prog- 4
rees that has contributed to tbe growth
and expansion of Indianapolis until she
has gained nation-wide attentiop. Again.
I congratulate you and wish you a moit
successful and happy week.”
After the Governor's address amateur
wireless operators within a radius if
seventy-five miles called the Indianapolis
station to rcoort that they had picked
up the message.

is the greatest nation.
He Indicated his belief that changes
during the last few years have worked
to the economic disadvantage of the
country and that changes must be made,
lie said the true test of whether eco
nomic legislatlo/i Is workable is the
amount of tonnage transported and that
this amount has fallen off.
The session was the last general meet
ing of tue Purchasing Agents’ convention.
After today the convention will be split
into sina'l special meetings. The purchas
ing agents this afternoon went to the
Indianapolis Industrial Exposition at the
State fairground.
The session yesterday afternoon In
cluded conferences on fuel, paper, mem
bership and standardization.
At the coal conference George H. Cush
ing Washington, director of the Ameri
can Wholesale Coal Association, told ttta
conference on coal that the country mpst
decide between national prosperity and
political expediency. He declared that
the real cause of business depression i a
too much Government regulation.
"Before we can start to rebuild with
any assurance," he declared, "we must
know that one political group is not go
ing In for artificial inflation which will
Inspire another group to brlnjj about
quick deflation. S*nce existing wealth
can not support the load of necessary
taxes, we must have more wealth."
Mr. Cushing's address was followed by
a general discussion of the fuel problem.

SMILING AFTER
FIRST SESSION
Opening Conference at Lloyd

Two Hours. ,

vxREAT CROWD CHEERS
LONDON, Oct. ll.—Delegates rep
resenting Great Britain and Sinn Fein
Ireland, endeavoring to find a basis for
settling the Irish question conferred to
day in two sessions for a total of four
hours without the development of a
danger point and adjourned to meet
again at 11 a. m. Thursday. At 5 p. in.
the Irish office announced the peace con
ference was “proceeding smoothly.”
LONDON. Oct. 11—The first session of
the momentous Irish peace conference to
settle the quarrel of seven centuries be
tween Ireland and England lasted barely
two hours. The Irish delegates and the
British envoys left Premier Lloyd
George’s official residence at 10 Downing
street just before 1 o'clock. They were
smiling and apparently satisfied. The
police had difficulty in clearing away
through the crowd for the Sinn Feiners’
motor ears. The Irish got a big ovatijn.
The second session of the conference
was summonded for 4 o'clock A brief
communique was issued, but it merely
contained a list of the delegates present !
together with the time of the second ;
meetin g.
-AUSTEN CH AM BE HI. AIN
ABSENT BECAUSE ILL.
Only five of the six British delegates
were present when the conference opened.
The absentee was Austen Chamberlain,
government leader in the House of Com
mons, who is described as the “most con
ciliatory member of jjnglaud's ‘Big Six’."
He is sufflring a slight attack of illness.
A few minutes before 11 o’clock and Just
after Winston Churchill, Secretary for
j the Colonies, had entered, foair magnlfl
| cent limousines drove up in front of 10
j Downing street and two commandauts of
the Irish republican army leaped to the
pavement. The Irish delegates then en- j
, tered the premier's residence.
| The crowds gathered near Downing
j street were far larger than thoe present
I when Eainonn De Valera conferred with
the Premier in the summer. The police
kept the sightseers massed in Whitehall,
and Downing street could be entered only
through a small side gate. The main
entrance was obstructed with barricades
which had been erected to prevent tnvy
slon by mobs of unemployed. Only offi
cials and Journalists were allowed to pass
Into Downing street.
As the conference got under wry It
was learned from a source close to Sir
Ilamar Greenwood, chief secretary for
Ireland, that differences are anticipated
early In the meeting.
DE VALERA HURLS
CAUSE OF PEACE.
The government, it was said, would
not agree to a supreme parllstnnt for
Ireland in which Ulster would love equal
standing with South Ireland, such ns
was granted by the home rule (partition)
act. Furthermore It was reported British
officialdom considers the outlook
darkened by the manifesto issued in
Dublin by Eamonn De Valera. DeValera
had declared peace could only tie secured
If Ireland s freedom were guarantee.d.
Long after the parlev had started the
crowds still were milling In Whitehall.
Most of the persons assembled were Irish
sympathizers. \ ' They sang “Wrap the
Green Flag ’round Me." and ‘The Boys
’of Wexford," and other typically Irish
songs meanwhile waving Green flags.
Michael Collins showed all the agility
of Douglas Fairbanks, tn dodging news
paper photographers He leaped from
the door of his motorcar and sprang with ,
remarkable rapidity to the doors of No !
10 Downing street, leaving ths camgya ;
men plctnreless.
Tbe crowds cheered continuously
Collins easily was the pnbllc favorite.
Both civil and military brnnrho. of the
British and the Sinn Fein governments
are represented.
The British delegation consists of Pre
mier Lloyd George, chairman; Sir Lam
ing Worthington Evans, secretary for
war; Lora Birkenhead, the lord ehan-
Icellor: Sir Hatnar Greenwood, chief aer
| rotary for Ireland: Austen Chamberlain,
j government leader in the House of Com
mon. ; Winston Spencer ChuFcblll, sec
| retary of state for the colonies.
, Sir Gordon Hewett, attorney general,
will act ns legal consultant to the dele
gation upon constitutional questions.
The personnel of the Sinn Fein deleg.i
tion was: Arthur Griffith, “vlee presi
dent of the Jrisb republic," and founder
; of the Sinn Fein organization, chairman,
Michael Collins, commander in chief of
tbe Irish Republican Array; Eamonn
Duggan, George Gavan Duffy, Robert C.
Barton.
Ersktne Childers, who accompanied the
Sinn Fein envoys from Dublin, is acting
as secretary to the delegation.
Tbe atttiude of the press was summed
up by the Dally Chronicle, the persona!
organ of Premier Lloyd George, which
said:
“The pnbllc well may be advised to
biend prudent caution with optimism re
garding the outcome of the parley."
NEW YORK, Oct. 11. —Harry Boland,
special envoy In the United States of Sinn
| Fein, announced that a "drive” will be
| opened In this country on Nov. 15 to sell
$20,000,000 bonds of tbe “Irish Republic.”
Mr. Boland said the bond projeot will go

ficials of this Government acknowledged
that no word bad ever been sent to
Great Britian officially in regard to Gen
eral Pershing’s trip nor the amount, of
time that he could Bpend in Europe.
The British embassy said they had
handled none of the arrangements and
absolutely were devoid of any informa
tion in regard to the preparations made
here or in England.
The evident belief in governmental cir
cles was that by no stqetch of the im
agination could the BrltUn government
be considered to have committed an act
of discourtesy as it had never been
specified by this Government that Gen
eral Pershing would be the American
representative at the British exercises.—
