Son May Convict Father of Murder Julius Schutte Testified That His Father Dragged Bodies Into the Burning Build- ing. Middletown, Oct. 11.—Julius Schutte, second son of Emil Schutte, 60-year- old storekeeper of Shailerville, testified against his father today when the trial of the storekeeper on charges of mur- dering three members of the Bal fam- {ly on December 10, 1915 was resumed in superior court. Julius, 22, who served in the navy through the World war, declared that his father placed two bags of oil-soak- ed shavings against the shack where the Ball family lived, set fire to the shav- ings and shot Joseph Ball, his wifo and their 17-year-old son Jacob when they FACTS DEVELOPING OF KU KLUX KLAN ACTIVITIES Washington, Oct. 11.—Digging into the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, the house Tules committee developed testimony to- day that the organization had taken in $1,458,710 since In foundation, that the Qepartment of justice was still conduet ing an investigation of its own and that according to the Klan's confidential infor- mation to fleld agents the chief of police of Norfolk, Virginia, was a member. Through news letters said to have been sent from Kldn headquarters and not in- tended for general publication, the state- ment also was made that the Norfolk chief had promised 260 rifles to the loca. order “in time of trouble” and that Rep- resentative Upshaw, democrat, of Georgi in whose home district the Klan was porn, had been “put to it to deny mem- bership in the Klan and at the same time &quare his conscience as a preacher and church member, The imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Kian, William J. Simmons, of Atlanta, sat all day room and heard witnesses declare that he was not its actual head, that all pow- ers scemed vested in Edward Young Clarke, head of the publicity or propa: zating bureau and Mrs, Elizabeth Tyler his assistant. Al the evidence today was by witnesses demanding an ina 1d those who had conducted independent inquiries for the post office department and newspapers. 0. B. Williamson, & post office in- &pector, told of a seven day preliminary investigation at and around the Imperial Palace at Atlanta. Mr. Willlamson who presented the news letters in evidence. declared thelr transmission established Proper use of the mails and that they had been sent out for the purpose of stim- ulating the drive for members at ten dollars a head. Asked by Chafrman Campbell if any part of the funds col- lected by the Kian had been spent for the needy, the witness replied: “If you call Colonel Simmons nesdy, then some thousands were spent for him, but none for charity. Colonel Simmons' salary is 51,000a month. There was sharp conflict between the testimony of Willlamson and that of C. Anderson Wright, a former Klansman, who recently published what purported 10 be an expose of the order concerning “a palace” at Atlanta owned Jjointly by Clarke and Mrs. Tyler. Wright said he had often been entertcined within its hospitable portals and that it cost up- wards of $75,000 but Williams said if it was there he could not get track of it. Wright, who testified that he quit the Klan because he objected to the methods of management by Clarke and Mrs. Tyler, was pressed by committeemen whether acts of violence committeed by alleged Klansmen _actually could be charged to tlem. Fe declared he had no knowledge of such affairs, nor was he able to state whether member of con- gress belonged to the organization, but he added that Simmons had ‘“openly boasted” of 2 congressional membership ist. There was a buzz in the room, with nearly one hundred members of the house sitting and standing around, when Chair- man Campbell called William J. Burns, director of the department of justice bu- reau of investigation to the stand. But he was there only a moment, merely stat- ting that the department was still at work investigating the Ku Kiux, that It was not ready to report and that its inquiry had not been stopped or held up by the com- mittee hearing. Representative Galltvan, democrat, Massachusetts, made a plea to the com. mittee to consider his resolution providing for appointment of a joint committes of the senate and house to ascertain if mem- bers of congress were identified with the Ku Klux, In the course of his examination, In- spector Williamson gave detailed informa- tion as to the financial status of the Ku Klux, saying that Clarke and Mrs. Tyler, in general charge of the records made ng objection to the inspection. Available records, the inspector safd, showed collections amounting to $360,393 from June 1, 1920, to September 24, 1321, ATTEMPT TO KILL IMPERIAL ELEAGLE OF KU KELUX KLAN Atlanta, Ga., Oet. 11—Flve shots| o fired y statement by Mr. Cueno today {nti- pbgetiiolbi o el "J‘ii;f‘*;:,";:?.?" mated tnat Invitations might be sent Burean of the Kn Kiux Rian: brdl:g theatrfeal managers for a conference 0 reports to the police, but bullets smashed her bed room anodon they falled to hit her.

Carison, counsel for the defense, the witness said that the first person he told of the shooting was his brother, Walter, on May 17 last, and then he repeated his story to State's Attorney Inglis of Middlesex county. Under further cross |examination, the witness admitted he would like to see his father convicted.

After the third shot, the witness said he saw Jacob Ball, | who was lying on the ground, raise a rveolver. The witness sald he fired twice at young Bail With a rifle, but id not hit him.
