it had been a lawless bund it could
not have obtained such large member
ship, comprising "the leading men of

' WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Before
calling William J. Simmons of Atlanta
imperial wizard of the Ku Klutf Klan,
to the witness stand, tho house rules
committee heard representatives of
negro organizations today in suppoi't
of resolutions providing for a congres
sional investigation of tho order.
.William Monroe Trotter of Boston,
speaking for tho Kational Equal
Rights league, the first witness, de
clared the Klan was "a private unof
ficial organization, which interfered
with personal liberties of peoples,
most of whom are outside its- mem
bership." t
Such interference, he charged, was
an attempt to prevent tho proper ex
ercise of government. . .
"Th method of coercion," Trotter
said, "is shown by tho sending of
threatening letters to persons to cease
doing certain things," and by use of
the hooded gown. He characterized
the Klan as '.'a real menace to Che
sense of personal security of millions
of citizens." -
Tho Rev. S. 13. J. Watson, a negro'
preacher of'Chicago, told the commit

unwarranted," ho asserted.

of careful preparation for tho Amer

first meeting hero of the four dele
gates selected by Presldont Harding

ot a specific nature- already had been
compiled for th guidance of the dele
gations but the real tusk ot fitting
the whole mass of Information togeth

Sdme hint of President Harding's
hopes for the armament coiiforonqo
were given as the delegates were as
sembled by publication of a letter tho
president had written In reply to' a
prayer that he work for "universal dis
armament." "Absolute disarmament,
Mr. Harding wrote, "was boyond hopo
of realization," and perhapB not very
desirable, but "a reusonablo limita
tion" of armament waB a practical pro
position with Bomo hope of: accomplish,
ment. '
Similar sentiments have boon ex
pressed generally by military and
naval authorities. It is understood
that tho first consideration of thoso
familiar with tho international situa
tion has' been rathor a "reuaonublo
limitation" of future armament con
struction than a scaling down of pros
ent strength. Tho latter,- It is pointed
out, could well bo considered after a

been agreed upon. .. ,. .
