Woman Leads Way. At that moment a determined-look- ing woman who had occupied a seat far down in the front of the church arose. Her hair was gray, but her voice was strong and angry as she turned her back on Dr. Aked and called out to the congregation: ‘All friends of Woodrow Wilson will leave this church.” Pushing her way ‘through the aisles, woman started toward the door, that in- still of the allies. continued, W others had p: but looking every bit of the indignation they felt over what they termed inex- cusable criticism of a former President of the United States.

Secretary Mellon has extended from | April 15 to May 15 the time limit for | operation of the order requiring ac- | countants, attorneys, agents, or oth- | ers practicing before the Treasury, | particularly the bureau of internal| | revenue, to file declarations as to| business which is being handled on a | contingent basis. i The order. was not to be taken,| however, the Secretary explained, as | barring ' contingent fees, although ntended to discourage contingent fees and require their disclosure.” The new procedure required by the | Treasury is understood to have com- plicated the work required of those practicing before the Treasury bar, and has resulted in considerable ob- ion from certain concerns here in Washington, which complain that it has involved them in much additional routine restrictions. Worst offenders against the ethlcs of the Treasury bar Were not former employes of the internal revenue bu- reau, it was explained by high of. ficials of the bureau, but were unprin cipled “outsiders” unacquainted ev! dently with the high standards cus tomary and required, The revised order, explaining in part the procedure, was made public last night as follows: “All Treasury officers will be ex- pected to enforce strictly all provi- sions of this order, and before ad- mitting any attorney or agent to ap- pear before the department in any case will require satisfactory evi- dence that either the specific declara- tion or the general affidavit has been filed with the chief clerk, as required by this order; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit any attorney or agent from continuing to appear in any case already pending before the department, if the declaration or af- fdavit required by this order shall be filed by May 15, 1923.’ DROP CONTEMPT RULE.

Simmons or Im- perial Wizard H. W. Evans settle down to the temporary arrangement of the affairs of the Ku Klux Klan, in co-operation with J. M. George, marshal of the municipal court, as provided for in court orders last| week, a conference will be held at the imperial palace sometime during | the day to discuss ways and means of | procedure.

Caleb Ridley, imperial chaplain, charging him with making a personal fight on E. Y. Clarke and Mrs. Elizabeth Grow, formerly connected with the propagation department of the klan. “I am not now and never have been the ememy of Mrs. Grow, Clarke, Col. Simmons or Dr. Ridl he declared. “I never have had porsonal differences with any one of them and I am the friend of all, particuarly Mr. Clarke, for whom I would do any favor I could. Statements “Impersonal.” “All the actions taken and state- ments given in_connection with the litigation over Klan affairs have been purely impersonal. They have to do with the question of who is in con- trol of the Klan and its officers, and my efforts are all directed to bring harmony within the organization.” Dr. Evans declined to make any comment on Dr. Ridley’s charges against him regarding his connec- tlon with Masonic affairs in Texas before he became a klan official.
