SAN FRANCISCO. May 10. A letter
directing that member of the Ku
Klux Klan be denied admission into
the -Masonic order has been ordered
sent to all members of the order In
California and the Hawaiian Wlarul i
today by Dr. Samuel E. Burke of Lcs
Angeles, grand master of the Califor
nia jurisdiction of the order, who la
visiting here.
In his letter Grand Master Burlu
said that "the practical operations of
the organization do not coincide with
the principles and Ideals upon which
our government was founded nor
npon the principles and Ideals of free
masonry."
The letter also said that Its writer
did not believe reports which he said
have been circulated to the effect
that In some localities the Ku Klut
Klan was fostered and encouraged by
Masons.
' Prsctical Workings Criticised
The grand master's letter follows lu
part: , ...
"To Master Masons, Wardens sod
Brethren of all lodges in the Jurisdic
tion: .
"Through the public press and other
wise the grand master has been ad
vised of the activities. In California
of an organization known as ther Ku
Klux Klan, or the invisible . emplr-.
membership in which is said to .be
conHned to 'native born American citi
zens who believe in the tenents of tho
Christian religion,' but so secret in Us
workings that even the names of Its
members are not known to the public.
"This 'invisible empire' pTetendH
that its chief purpose is to aid in th-j
enforcement of the law of the land,
but its practical working appear to
be to interfere with the orderly and
1 lawful administration ot the processes
of oar courts and the duly constituted
officers of the law; a society wiUch
sKulks and strikes in the dark, under
cover of masks; an organization
which is so un-American and un
Masonic in Its methods as to merit
the disapproval of thoughtful, law
abiding, order-loving men.
Secret Methods Noted
"It seeks, by secret methods, to
rectify what Its leading members may
conceive to be improper conduct on
the part of people not members of
the klan and to Interpret the rule of
conduct to be observed by non-members.
Without regard to the court

whose identity is hid from the light
of orderly government by the peoplu

assuming dangerous military and ju
dicial powers and authority over all
whose conduct or whose views do not
coincide with those of the klan.
"It has been charged that memberf
ot our fraternity have in some . la
stances become allied with this Ku
Klux Klan, and it is even charged
that in some localities the klan ii
fostered and encouraged by Masons,
that the night riders who usurp tht
lawful processes of the courts and
who whip and scourge and tar tho

are Masons.

Indications were seen In the state

with Robertson, that the war veteran
had to somo extent at least. Im
pressed embassy officials with hi.i
story. The statement said i
"The embassy I Inclined to Con

This additional inquiry, it vrtu,

embassy, probably will necessitate n,
conference by embassy official WUH
