% AINTS VIVIDLY TH KU KLUX KLAN Hugh F. Enmons, Former OI- cer Reveals Its Aims Indianapolis, Feb. 21 UP—A pic- ture of the Ku Klux Klan as a power grabbing octopus, reaching across the state and nation to seize political control, has been drawn for Attorney General Killiom in a desposition by Hugh F. Emmons, former Kilan Cyclops. -The deposi- tion which required eight hours in the taking, was made yesterday. A union of the Klan, the Indiana Anti-Saloon League and Horse Thief Detective Asspciations in efforts to elect candidates satisfactory to all of them, was charged by Emmons. Emmons testified that at a South Bend Klan meeting he was told by E. 8. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, that the League, the Klan and the Horse ‘Thief Detective Association must “go down the line together” for Arthur R. Robinson who'was elect- ed United States senator in 1926. Shumaker last night said he could not recall making such a statement, He said the Anti-Saloon League was hill's church voted by @ large ma-| jority last might not to accept his| resignation, he was firm in his de- termination to leave the ministry. ™ am certain that those who are opposed to me will not cease to dis- turb and disrupt the ‘church,” Un- derhill said, “and since I am the storm center of controversy I pre- fer to withdraw rather than to al- low this disturbance to continue.” Rev. Underhill's resignation was demanded by a committee of 11 Baptist clergymen who investigated the charges against him.

The arrest was made last evening on a warrant charging breach of the peace and assault on John Skarvan- sky of 36 Broad street, also injury to private property. The witnesses were notified to be in court but did not | report, nor did they send any word as to the reason for their absence. According to the police, Bazyl wicz went to a house at 36 Grove street and created a disturbance, in addition to smashing a door panel about 6:30 last Sunday morning.

Frank Lockhart of Indianapolis and J. N. White of Philadelphia were sceking the proper combina- tion of motor temperament and beach condition which would per- mit them to challenge the new time of 206.956 miles an hour set Sunday by Malcolm Campbell of London in his monster Napier Blue- bird Special. Lockhart spun his comparatively tiny Stutz Blackhawk Special over the sands against the wind yester- day at an officially timed rate of 200.22246 miles per hour, but did not ake the return trip, which would have made his an official try for the record. A trip in each di- mbered ithe machine belonging to White yesterday, but was forced from an official attempt ‘by a minor accident which resulted in slight injuries to Keech. White |said last night the machine attain- ed a speed of “more than 203 miles an hour” during its run, but that |its average over one way of the charted mile was cut 1o 186 miles !per hour by the motor trouble | which sent a spray of live steam |fiving back over the pilot. | "White's machine at present‘s un- {der the ban of the American Au-| {tomobile association because it is | not equipped with a clutch or re- |verse gear and its attempts will not be officlally recognized until it has |been made to conform to that {body’s standards. |Hoover Is Satisfied< | | With New Hampshire | Concord, N.

He said a man named Sirman told him the South Bend Klan needed a little more *southern spirit” and that ir they took somebody out in this *Catholic city and gave them a good beating and tarred and'feathered somebody, membership would in- crease by hundreds.” In Chicago after he attended the funeral of 8. Glenn Young, Klan dry crusader of Herrin, Ill., Hiram Weas- ley Evans, imperial wizard of tne Klan told him that if the situation at Herrin did not improve he would send guni down there “to clean things up,” Emmons declared. Political Graft. The deposition told how Joe Huf- fington of Evansville, Ind., present Indiana Grand Dragon, praised Em- mons and Charles J. Orbison, nation- al klokard or attorney, representing the Klan, for their aid in electing Herbert Nales as mayor of Evans- ville, Ind., “although it took a lot of money and whiskey to do it."* Stpfting of the ballat boxes at Evansville also was mentioned by Huffington, Emmons related. Or- bison represented the Klan at yes- terday’s hearing and entered many ebjectiona to Emmons’ testimony. Emmons charged.the Klan mad Javish expenditures, held orgies at roadhouses, ordered hate-inspiring speeches and boycotts ~of business and establishments in efforts to make itself powerful. He satd mem- bers were initiated into the Klan on one set of principles and given an- | other set to follow after they had taken their oath. Y Used Sunday School. 1t was further charged that the Klan used Sunday achool publica- tions to carry Klan states, that the membership of the Indiana XKian, the Klan stronghold of the country, had shrunk from 178,000 in 1923 to less than 4,000 paid up members at the present time, that the Klan les- turers were instructed to be antl- Catholle, anti-Jew and anti-Negre and that the general program was to get control first of the county, then the state and then the country. Lynn Pastor Will Seek Another Occupation Lynn, Mass, Feb. 21 (UP)—The Rev. Chester J.

Kentucky, Mississippi, New | Mexico and South Carolina and the District of Columbia, have made | some provision for the home care | of children. But the statutes vary widely in the | several states and the child welfare | committee is secking more uniform | legislation. In California, for instance, provi- sion is made in cases where the hus- dead, has deserted the | mother, is permanently incapaci- tated or the mother is dead. But no provision is made in cases where the father is a prison inmate, fs in- | sane, is divorced or is not married to the mother, In Indiana, on the other hand, the only case in which provision s | not made is that in which the wife | is dead and the husband is left witn { dependent children. One of the leading speakers at today’s session was Dr. R. B. Reeder of the Marsh Foundation achool at Van Mert, O., who reviewed the de- { velopment of orphan asylums since | the first one was founded in 1698 | by August Hermann Francke, Ger- man educator and philanthropist. “In America,” he said, “their es- tablishment began hefore the birtn | ot our republic, and the building or | orphan asylums has been going on | ever since, is still going on, and | will continue to go-on until this out- grown expression of charitable {m- pulse is redirected by enlightened public sentiment.” Judge Lincoln Frost of Lincoln, | b., addressed the conference on the ~development of the idea of boarding children with their mother in their own home.
