IR el KLANHEAD.IND.C. AP COURT RULIG Dr. Evans Asserts Judge Re- fused Time to Disprove Falsity of Charges. . By the Assosiated Pres Dr. H. W. Bvans the Ku Klux Klan, expressed regret m a statement last night that dismigsal in Pittsburgh of the suit for_an injunc- tion against the order prevented the Kian “from presenting the proof we offered of the falsity of the char made against me and the organi tion.™ Speaking for himself ang the K Pvans said: “We were denled time to bring from the remote poluts, w the crimes were alleged 1o~ have be committed. men of high repute by whom we wo. have positively” disproved from thoir own personal and public knowledge that such occurrences had taken place.” | The statement said the court had refused to grant the necessary time and added regret that the court “saw fit 10 impeach the great State of Pennsyl- wvania and the purpose and integeuy of the hundreds of thousands of ;. sens of Pennsylvapia who were kl men, ‘'and not. one of whom is accused in any record before the court of any wrongdoing.” “I have also a peculiar and personal sorrow,” the wizard said. “that the eourt in his official opinion besmirched . the fair name of Texas, my home State. He charged to its citizens crimes tha. were never committed by kiansmen or any one and this after refusing us the opportunity we demanded to bring from Texas witnesses who would have disproved every one of these charges. 3 The Klan and myself are extremely fortunate in that there will presently appear opportunities where the full facts involved in. this case will be laid * before the bar of other courts and thus | before the bar of public opinion.” REGIE O TERROR REPORTED N TALY Hundreds Suspected of Anti- Fascism Imprisoned, “Austria Hears.

So far there has been no outward rift in the friendl: feeling ex- isting between Mr. Lowden and the Vice President. | 'The Lowden manager insisted that | his cardidate was as strong in the East as any of the other candidates.
