SAYS AIMS ARE DEFEATED, February 26 Is Set as Date for Convention in Atlanta. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, January , 2®—E. Y Clarke, imperial giant, today issued a call for a national congress of the Ku Klux Klan to meet in Atlanta on February 26 to “gather together and prayerfully consider methods to elim- inate existing evils; or else to follow the example of the founder of' the original Ku Klux Klan, and have the courage and manhood to.devise ways and means for the immediate disband- ment of the organization.” “With the above conditios L and with the federal government ang the courts of the land becoming in- creasingly alarmed over the situa- tion,” Mr. Clarke's proclamation savs that “it behooves klansmen of all ranks and stations to gather together.” and consider means of “eliminating existing evils,” or else disbandment of the organizatiop. The proclamatfon of Mr. Clarke calls attention to the organization of the Klan on July 4, 1916, by Williagm Joseph Simmons, now emperor, and says that “these laudable aims, ideals, principles and purposes have ap- parently been abandoned by the Klan and the organization become one with lawless tendencies and political de- sign,” and that the end of the “bitter war’ between the emperor gnd im- perial wizard is not in sight. SEINE WILL REACH FLOOD STAGE FRIDAY River ¥ront Property in Paris Un- der Water—Recurrence of 1910 Disaster Threatened. By the Associated Press. PARIS, January 2—The weather prophets and the experts who gauge the ebb and flow of the Seine have predicted that the river would reach the highest level of the present flood today, but rain set in again last even- ing and the Seine continued to rise somewhat more rapidly than had been cajculated, while some of its afuents were becoming appreciably more swollen. The river is now seven feet below the high level of 1910, when the sub- ways were flooded and boats were re- quired for traffic around the foreign office, the St. Lazare station and other conspicuous points. At the present rate of the rise, which is about two feet in twenty-four hours, a record height would be reached by Friday. e administrative bureaus are being overwhelmed with appeals from the riverside population, especially in the suburbs, where a repetition of the disaster of fourteen years ago is feared, despite the reassuring predic- tions of the weather men. The truck gardens both east and west of Paris are submerged and cellars are flliing all along the river front. Troops have béen called out to arrange for moving the inhabitants of the threat- ened quarters on the lower Seine. Portions of Touraine and Burgundy are also under water in the valleys of the Loire and Saone. ASSASSIN’S SHOTS BLEND WITH WHISTLES’ BLARE Pittsburgh Man Murdered on ‘ Front Porch Just as Old Year Dies. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, Pa.,- January 2—, Joseph Polito of Stowe Township was murdered as the new year dawn- ed, the assassin’s shots blending with the blare of whistles and horns and the bark of guns fired by celebrators. l A few minutes before midnight Po- lito went to his front porch to wel- come the new year. He fired a pistol five times and was about to re-enter the house when he fell with the charge of a shotgun In his back and neck. The murderer had evidently waited for the opportune moment when his shot would not attract at- tention. The only clue found by the police was bloody footprints leading from the porch.
