By l'nited Preas HOUSTON, Texas, Xov. 3.—The Invisible empire, Knights of thè KuKlux Khan, are scheduled to go on trial bere In district court as defendant in a $200,000 personal damage suit filed against thè organization Irst February by Miss Nelda Meyer, 21-year-old girl of Needville, Texas, near bere. • Possibility that William Joseph Simir.ons, Imperiai Wizzarrì of thè Klan, named as one of thè defendants in thè suit, will be here in person during thè trial, is seen by l&wyers In view of thè fact that he is mentioned directly in thè damage petition. George B. Kimbro, fornier grand goblin of thè IClan in Texas and mentioned in thè suit as “one who acts as organizer for thè so-called invisible empire.” is aiso a defendant. Kimbro was recently ousted from thè Klan office, Based on Letter The damage suit is based on a letter reeeived by Miss Meyer and alleged to ha ve been sent by thè Klan.

PBEFERS DAYS ■ OF ‘CENTLEMEN' War Is Degenerating Now, Says Genera! Hamilton, Old School Battler. By RALPH H. TURNER. Uniteil Xeica Staff Correapond-rnt LONDON, Nov. 3.—“War is degenerating. We used to tight like gentlemen, but now ” Gen. Sir lan Hamilton, who at thè age of 70, is one of England's mnst famous warriors of thè “fine old school,” shot out hls words vehemently, indignantly. “But now thè chivalry of war is dead, sir. With your poison gas and your other internai modem lnventions for extermlnation, was is not fit for civilized peoples.” The United News sought thè views of General Hamilton on thè Near East mix-up. As a cornmander of thè British expeditionary force at Gallipolis, in thè late war, he was entltled to speak with authority. But his views on wars in generai, past and Ijresent, were much more refreshing. Dislikes Poison Gas “The manufacture of poison gas,” he declared in an exclusive intervlew, “should be made a • penitentiary offense. If every man who made poison gas were sent to jail, its manufacture and use in battle would soon be stopped. If thè w r orld lntends to keep on fighting—and there aye signs that it does so intend —let it tight by thè code of honor that we knew in thè old days." As here of a dozen great engagements. this pìcturesque old warrier is competent to speak of “days of old, when knights were bold” and war was a gemleman’s business. Sir lan began collecting medals with thè Afghan war, back in 1876. He campaigned in thè Boer war, was a member of thè Nilo Expedition for thè relief of Gordon: fought through thè Burmese Expedition and numerous engagements in India: bocame chief of staff to Kitchener in 1911 and headed thè Medlterranean Expeditlonary force in 1915.

Charges of attempting to initiate a capital-labor war out of thè trials slow freely. Each side accuses thè other of trjing to niake this an issue and each denies. Line Up Witnesses But back of thè maze of industriai prejudice, charges and counter charges. intense locai partisanship and other factors. thè attorneys for both sides have been zealously at work, lining up their witnesses, preparing for one of thè biggest court battles in thè history of Illinois. So thoroughly is Willlamson County being winnowed for witnesses that there is hardly a resident who has not been approached as to his knowledge, or who has not been brought into a partisan fraine of mlnd through hearing thè case repeatedly. discussed. Selection of a jury, it is conceded, will be a very long process, owing to thè widespread discussion of thè case. While thè trial will be held in Marion and thè eight union men arrested are held In thè county jail here, actual conduct of thè case has passed beyond thè boundaries of Williamson County. Procedure will be in thè hands of outsiders. Men in Charge State's Attorney Delos Duty of Willlamson County has a hani in thè prosecution. but only as an assistane Attorney General Brundage has appointed C. W. Middlekauff special assistant attorney generai in charge of thè case. He also secured thè latteria leave of absence from his duties as assistant to United States Attorney General Daugherty to conduct thè prosecution. A. W.
