Collapses After Defense Ftued Witn Many urama tic Incidents. SENATOR WATSON OF GORGIA INTERRUPTS Intruder Says He Is Not Member of Klan But Sym4 pathizes With Aims WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. Clos ing an allLay dettuse of .the Ka Klux Klan, William J. Simmonn, its imporlaJ wUard, toppled over in a chair today while the chair man of the house investigatiqs committee was attempting to rtp the applause which broke before the crowd knew he had col lapsed. . ! Friends of Mr. Simmons rush ed to his side and supplied stima lants, but as it was evident he was in no condition to continue, the hearing, fiHed with many dramatic incidents, wa3 adjourned until tomorrow. Physicians later repotted kis condition was nut serious. Accusers Denounce. j Bundled , up about the chest, Mr. Simmons returned this after noon unsteady, bis voice hoarse, but apparently eager to denounce what he characterized as outrages, as charged against the organiza tion he tounded in Georgia five years ago. " Stillness prevailed at times while the wizard,'- holding aloft the ritual of the Klan, read parts of the oath taken by Klansmen. And then he told the committee that while Julius Caesar had his Rrutus and Washington his Bene dict Arnold, he too, as imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, j could eater that fellowship, "be cause he had suffered from the treasonable conduct of those with in. Tumbles in Heap. "If this organization is un worthy, then let me know and I will destroy it," he exclaimed, "but if It is not, then let it stand." Turning to the crowd, Simmons declared he wanted to "call on the Father to forgive those who had persecuted the Klan," and as the words left his lips, he tumbled into a heap. The first dramatic incident was the appearance of Senator T. B. Watson of Georgia, who ptepped up and took the wizard by the band. Whispering something, he turned and sat down, but a mo ment later he was on his feet, demanding (Tie ripht to question the witness "in the interest of fair play." Watson Asks Question. Chairman Campbell broke in to say that the witness was getting that, and that it was not in !inc with regular procedure to permit questions by outsiders. Senator Watson insisted he haq the right, first announcing, how-? ever, that he was not a Klansmaa, although in sympathy wilh its aims, and the chairman cut through the colloquy by directing the senator to proceed. The sen- ator merely asked the wizard ft he knew ot the big salaries being voted by congress for shipping board lawyers, reaching as hfffh as 135,000 which the people had to pay. With that Mr. Watson left. Membership Not Lnrpe. Through the testimony of Mr, Simmons, the committee learned that the total membership of the Klan, heralded as having passed the half million mark, actually was around 90,000. The witness declared its growth east and west had been greater than in the south. Asked if lie had not claimed "a million membership," Mr. Simmons smilingly TepHed he might have done so. but that he was speaking generally. Oath Not Demanded. When the wizard was about to read the Klan's oath, the com mittee, after a conference, an nounced he need not divulge it un less he felt so inclined. It was placed in the record after certain paragraphs had been read. It showed members bound - them selves "to be truly klannish to ward Klansmen In all things hon orable," and that a man could not violate his oath except in testify ing in cases of treason against his Continued on page 2) REMEDIES FOR LACK OF WORK Conference at Washington Ends Efforts After Agree ing on Plan for Relief WAGE MEASURES URGED Employer Members Seek Relief for Selyes, Labor Asked to Pledge Aid WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.
