KLAN PASTOR TO FACE T&W BY METHODISTS Présiding Elder Suspends Mo- Gehee From All Ministerial + Prerogatives. CALLED UNFIT TO PREACH He Was Object of Scathing Resolu- © tion by Legion Post. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, Mo. January 2.—An- nouncement was made today by the Southern Methodist presiding elder, Rev. Dr. Rrank L. Wells, that Charles D. McGehee, former local pastor, will be brought to church trial. In the mean- time McGehee has been suspended from the exerclse of all ministerial func- tions. McGehee, as an active worker for the Xu Klux Klan, recently left his pulpit to lecture in Missourl and Iilinois for that organization. His aggressiveness n behalf of the Klan led to criticism by Bishop W. F. McMurry of a local church, at which time a verbal alterca- tion between the two culminated in McGehee bringing suit against the bishop. The sult was later withdrawn. Latet McGehee was the subject of a scathing resolution passed by the ex- ecutive committee of the American Le- &ion Post of St. Louls, in which he was described as “unfit to minister to sol- diers.” 'This action was brought about by his appointment as a chaplain in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. McGehee at oresent is living in Caire, T o ohe Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the 2ollowing: Kenneth 8. Lynn and Mary €. Reese e L.
