Washington, July 21. (By As sociated Press.) President Hard ing was said by administration ad visers who conferred with him to day, to contemplate as . his next move in the railroad strike the summoning to Washington of Chairman Hooper of the railroad labor board for a full discussion jf the questions at issue between empolyes and executives. ' New Move Proposed, The probability of a new move will be revealed today after the president had been informed by Chairman Cummin's and Senators Watson ot Indiana and Kellogg of Minnesota of the senate interstate commerce committee that the three principal points at issue ln the strike were restoration of the aenority and ot pension rights ot the strikers and setting up a na tional board of adjustment as pro vided in the transportation act now ln force. The latter, was received as a new factor by the president who was said to have been unadvised that this was a strong point at iBsue.

The Capital Journal today prints the sixth install ment of Henry P. Fry's expose of the Ku Klux Klan. The narrative began Saturday and the previous chapters relate the origin of the order, how the author joined-under mis apprehension and became a kleagle, how his suspicions were aroused, resulting in investigation, and confirmation of hfs opinions and his resignation. A chapter of this remarkable book appears daily in the Capital Journal. It thoroughly exposes the vicious and sinister dominating purpose of this secret order that capitalizes racial and religious annimosities for the benefit of its promoters. . Kluxers Seek To Control Law Enforcement Off ices By The Recall Of Sheriff Despite the fact that, with the i-e-registration point eliminated from the Charles Hall petition for A recount ot primary election otes, it would now be possible for che governor to demurr to the pe tition such action will in all prob ability not be taken, it was learn sd here today. . Persons closely as sociated with the case Indicated that an answer will be filed to the remaining allegations in the Hall petition and that this answer probably will not be filed until next Tuesday the last day on which such action may be taken, Allegations Made. Several allegations stand out prominently ln the Hall petition, as follows That in certain precincts more votes were counted for Olcott than were cast. That a large number of votes tor Hall were rejected. That persons registered as dem ocrats and independents were per mitted to vote the republican tick et. That votes were erroneously ounted in excess of the number jf ballots cast. That democrats wrote Olcott's name on democrat ballots and that the boards placed their votes to tho governor's credit. That election boards refused to allow Hall challengers to be pres ent - during the canvassing of votes. Attorneys for the governor de clined to indicate what the nature of their answer will be in regard o any of these points. The decision of Judges Percy Kelly and George Bingham yes terday afternoon in which tney held that a voter may change his party affiliations at the polls, was held here to be an important vic tory-lor the governor. Their de cison followed argument on a mo tion, filed by Olcott's attorneys, to strike from the Hall petition hat point having to do with re- registration on election day. dent that the national board ques tlon was prominently involved, although labor leaders have In formed senators that it was being pressed as a condition precedent to return of the strikers to work. On this question the executives were reported to be adamant. Conference Proposed. On leaving the White House the senators said they had merely made a report to the president concerning the meeting with , the executives. It was said. that fu ture conferences "probably" would be held but it was not Stated who would participate. Senator Cummins seemed rather pessimistic but Senator Watson was ln an optimtistic mood, de daring he believed some way would be found to end the strike. The early conference between the president and the senators was arranged, it was thought, go that Mr. Harding could lay the matter before the cabinet at its meeting today. Settlement Remote, A settlement of the strike of railway shopmen appeared more remote than ever today following what was said to have been an in sistent refusal by railway execu tives who conferred here with members of the state interstate commerce committee to acceded to some of the unions' demands. The position taken by the heads of the leading roads at the sud denly arranged conference last night, said to have been called on the initiative of Senator Cummins, chairman of the senate committee, was viewed by those participating as making further such efforts at a settlement appear fruitless.

An ap plication for an injunction to pre vent the county clerk from pro ceeding with the recall election of July 29 against Sheriff Terrill, has been -filed ln circuit cour( and Judge Calkins announced he would set the hearing for Wed nesday, July 27. The complaint consisted of eleven typewritten pages and charged among other things that leaders of the recall whose names were mentioned were all members of the Ku Klux Klan, and the recall was an effort on the part of the organization to gain control of the law enforce ment offices of Jackson county, Motives of Recall. The purposes and motives ot the recall, which have been labelled by its proponents as a "righteous movement," as a "wet and dry. fight," are set forth as follows "That prior to the circulation of the pretended recall petition here inafter set out a notorious secret political organization known aB the Ku Klux Klan had been form ed in Jackson county, Oregon. That among other purposes the said society had conspired to se cure the secret control through the eletcion of its members to the various public offices ln said county. 'That coincident with the for mation of said society certain acts and outrages of mob violence were perpetrated upon the persons of divers citizens of said county, said society commonly and openly be- i ing charged with responsibility therefor. That at aald time it was generally known and understood that a grand Jury was to be sura moned to Investigate said outrages and the activities of said society.

That on or about May HO, the said last named defendants, together with divers and sundry Other perbis whose names to the plaintiffs herein are unknown, with the intent, desire and pur pose of perpetrating a fraud upon the legal voters, citizens and tax payers ot Jackson county, Oregon and with the intent to fraudulent ly deprive plaintiff, C.

E. Terrill, as Bherltf of Jackson county, Ore gon. The document then sets forth the financial condition of Jackson county relative to funds and In debtedness.and taxation, and fur ther asserts: 'That if the said recall election is held the expenditure therefore will cause said Jackson county and the jjald defendant, Chauncey Florey, as county clerk, to violate the terms and provisions of said sections 10 and 11 ot article 11 of the constitution ot the state of Oregon in that it will create an additional liability and indebted ness ot said county of Jackson, which, together with its present indebtedness outside of its bonded Indebtedness will be ln excess of $5000."

"It is a great tribute to theljdent of th eanti-leper society and picture. - For the ninth episode, William Notey, former insular aud- wblch was offered during a warm day, the crowds were just as large as they were for the first install ment." i Harry Meyers, who has been cast as star ln many of the best known productions, plays the part of Robinson Crusoe in the picture. It was taken in Algiers, Morocco, and in the Madagascar and Canni bal Islands. It appears from an examination of the records, that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan made but little headway for several years, when it was under the sole management of William J. Simmons. An examination of the Atlanta City Directory reveals the fact that the present "Emperor" was engaged in other lines of activity, largely as a profession al organizer. In 1915 he appears listed as "Organizer, of the Woodmen of the World": in 1916, "Imperial Wizard and founder of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan" ; in 1918, thenext year a directory was issued, as "State Mana ger, Heralds or LdDerty"; in 1920, as "Lecturer": and in 1921. again as "Imperial Wizard, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." It was not, apparently, until Simmons joined forces with Edward Young Clarke, that the enterprise was placed on a paying basis. Clarke, it is said, has had wide experience as a professional propagandist, and prior to his taking charge of tha Ku Klux movement was employed to raise money for the Anti-Saloon League and the Salvation Army, conducting drives for those bodies. The city di rectory of Atlanta lists him as follows: 1915, "Secretary, Brooks County Industrial Club"; 1916, Secretary "Georgia Exhibit Association." Under the direction of Clarke the entire system of field work has been perfected, and as Imperial Kleagle, Clarke is responsible for the success of the movement. 'f OlfLrkn. wlinan htjil iialn., mA hacker was Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, was conducting the Southern Pub licity Bureau at the time, and quick ly saw the big financial feasibil ities which lay da the capitalization of the name "Ku Klux." Simmons, who bad concocted the scheme of organization which placed the "en tire works" into his own hands, lacked the ability to put his ideas into execution. At this point, I should like to take iasue with prac tically every man who had made any attcak on the Ku Klux Klan. The general opinion has been that Simmons is absolutely sincere in HARDING FOR itor it treasurer.

Washington, Jnly 21 Bamuel Gompers, preaient of the American Federation of Labor, in a state ment iiwued today invited the gov ernment to urge that the striking coal miners and the striking rail road workers and their respective employers inaugurate direct negotiations. "W invite the federal govern ment to see to it that employers and workon come together, ' said Mr. Gompers. "The government baa done everything except this one logical, seeessary thing." "The government has threatened a great deal. It has not talked effectively about conferences and it has had little or nothing to say about the rights of the workers.
