LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 17.— Declaring that it is their intention to “stand on our constitutional rights of free assembly and free speech,” or- ganizers of the Knights of the Ku- Klux Klan in Louisville today are preparing to seek an injunction re- straining Mayor G. W. Smith from carrying out his announced intention of preventing the meeting scheduled for_tonight. The Rev. Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, a prominent Baptist minister of At- lanta, Ga., is scheduled to speak in the interest of the klan. Members of the fiscal court, which has charge of the Jefferson county armory that has been engaged for the meeting, said that the promoters secured per- mission to use the building without revealing the nature of the proposed meeting and that the permit will be revoked. st unofficial announcements were that the meeting would be held Sup- day night. ~Klan leaders, discussing ithe subject with city officials, dis: iclosed that it was proposed to hold t tonight. Promise to House Speaker Fails to Save Greek Woman. Speaker Glllett has made demands upon the immigration bureau in be- balf of a Greek woman, sister of one of his constituents, who was de- ported after assurance was given to the Speaker by the immigration bu- reau that she would not be deported pending a decision on the appeal made by the Speaker, and after the Speaker was notified by the acting secretary of labor that the woman was to be admitted temporarily and then re- examined. ¥ The woman is Maria Loomos, who arrived at Ellis Island, on the King Alexander, Greek line, second cabin September 1. Her brother is George order of deportation was not coun- te!f‘:l‘:,lsie:ikor‘a office was notified by the acting secretary of labor Thn-r; day that Miss Loomos would be ad- Imitted for three months to visit her Under a 3500 bond, and that DrO e ermination of that period she Sould be re-examined as to illiteracy. The Speakers office had information from New York that the woman was to be deported on the boat salling Thursday at 4 o'clock. The immigra- tion bureau assured the Speaker's of- fice that she could not be deported until the papers in the case were sent back to Ellis Island. Wires Good News. The Speaker’s office promptly tele- graphedptms good news to George K. Loomos, the woman's brother, in New York. There was much surprise in the Speaker’s office at noon yesterday when a wire was received from New York that Miss Loomos had actually been deported the night before and that the brother, at the wharf and hoping_to take her back home to Springfield with him, had been frantic when he learned that all efforts in her behalf had proved unavailing. The Speaker’s office at once started energetically to have arrangements made for Miss Loomos to be taken off By the Adsociated Preas. RIGA, September 16.—The unexpect- ed delays inside Russia to American relier administration shipments while the suffering in the famine district is increasing have brought more vividly into view the difficult trans- iport problems, and Col. William N. Haskell, director of the American Re- lief Administration work in Russia, 18 expected immediately to deal with this situation on his arrival in Riga Monday. Advices that the first complete food shipment destined for the Volga re- glon required three weks for an ordi- nary five-day trip surprise the Riga bass of reliet administratiop, which, desplte the failure of the st viet authorities to furnish railway cars cars arrive here more rapidly and move away faster, the situation threatens to become serious. The re- lief administration has proposed to the soviet officials here that they should speedily begin moving exclu- sively American food trains of forty cars each, with an American escort, in order to save delay. This matter re- mains to be settled. Acrording to reports from the in- terior of Russia the soviet central officials are aiding to their utmost, but their seeming lack of control in the provinces and the general inef- ficiency at transfer points cause delay. Accurate reports of rumored pilfer- ing from the first American food shipments to Petrograd have reached Riga. The cargo loss was less than one-seventh of 1 per cent. Esthonian and Letvian relief ship- ments are reported from Baltic sources to have met with worse luck. An Esthonian food train destiged for Petrograd is reported to have been. sent to Archangel for the red army, while a Letvian train. accidentally wrecked on its journey is declared to have been found by a Lettish {i vestigator looted of its food at a wayside Russian station.

LEADERS HERE OPTIMISTIC. “Just Settlement” Between Eng- land and Ireland Still Predicted. Despite the several turns taken in the peace negotiations between Great Britain and Ireland during the pa: few days, there has been little E’D‘xfl. ety perceptible on the part of leaders in the different local Irish organiza- tions. The feeling of optimism, which has prevailed ever since truce was de- clared between the two countries, is still prevalent here among those fa- miliar with Irish affairs, and not- withstanding thé many notes that have passed between Premier Lloyd George and Eamon de Valera, the general opinion of the rank and file of Irish sympathizers is that in the end a just settlement of the 700-year- old fight will result from the par- leyAs now lInlng carried on. meeting of the five councils of the A.

Mrs. Rosenthal was found a short time later lying on the floor of the establishment with her head and face battered. A colored man who had gone into the place made the discovery and notified the police and her husband. Bones Are Shattered. Mrs. Rosenthal was treated at the Homeopathic Hospital and later re- moved to Sibley Hospital, where it was found her jawbone and nasal bone had been shattered. She became un- conscious shortly after reaching the hospital. \Capt.

Senator Calder of New York an- nounced his intention to offer on the floor of the Senate several amend- ments, one of them being a tax of $6.40 a gallon on distilled spirits withdrawn for any purpose other than {manufacturing. This would be a tax of $6.40 a gallon on whisky used for medicinal purposes. Another amend- ment that will be offered by the New York senator is a tax on beer contain- ing not more than 2.76 alcohol. A third amendment which will be offered by Senator Calder would exempt from the 15 per cent corporation tax all building and loan associations which receive less than 6 per cent on their investments.
