Washington, July 21. (By As

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

The latter, was received as a
new factor by the president who
was said to have been unadvised

"The Modern Ku Klux Klan"
.' 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. .

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.

Judge Calkins announced he

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.

WOOD APPEALS FOR

picture. - For the ninth episode, William Notey, former insular aud-
wblch was offered during a warm

as they were for the first install

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.
