The convention will close with a meeting of the board of managers early this eve ning. “The compulsory education law has forced into the schools, thousands of unwilling learners. Unwilling learners readily become loafers and serious discipline problems,” Buck declared in his talk on “High School Problems." “There Is great need for co-operative parents,” he concluded “Youth needs models more than critics.” Births Buys Edward and Hattie Mize. 2382 Union Yande* ant Hele, ‘ B - Grisaen. 1714 Ernoat and Susie Wilson. 007 Lord, toil b° rt an<l Louisa Elmore. 603 Welling $i av n al sl Ruth Danfqrd 542 N Traub.

Bn United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Grain prices were generally fractionally higher than Wednesday’s close on the Chicago Board of Trade this morning because of the news of another spectacular bulge at Liverpool. Wheat opened Vs to higher, while Liverpool was 1% to 3Vi up. showing that local traders are unwilling to follow the Rritish rise very far. Stocks of domestic and Canadian wheat are rapidly growing and export business is checked only by the lack of bottoms. Corn was unchanged to % higher. The various reports on the crop and the long-drawn-out decline in this pit seem to indicate a higher level of prices but for the continued heavy arrivals of old grain from the country. Oats also was unchanged to % higher. This pit seems to be in fop another dull day, as it is badly in need of new developments. Provisions opened lower. Chicago Grain Table —Oct. 21WHEAT— - Prev.

REED BORES INTO INDIANA POLIIICS (Continued From Page 1)
out, but he is now in Kansas City. Is that correct?” "Yes." “Who does Meyer represent?” "On the door of his office is League of Nations and the Peuce of the World.” “Do you know where Meyer is in Kansas City?” “I did not trail him.” “Can you find out for me?” "I will, surely.” "To what extent is literature sent out and speakers employed?” “Speakers are sent before all townships and county teachers’ Institutes saying that ‘We will be in the league in four year.’ The last speaker was Fred Libbey, who came to me and said the people and children must be taught to join the league in four years.” , Says State Flooding Walb ’ then told of the work of the opponents of Senators Watson and Arthur Robinson in his State. “These guys are flooding the State with League of Nations propaganda,” Walb said. He named one of the principal league of nations speakers as “Fred J. Libbey, who is just back from Geneva.” Walb submitted several clippings from newspapers showing the activity of the league advocates. He estimated fifty speakers had been sent into the League of Nations and world court campaign. “Lots of them are college professors," he said. "They preach 'peace of the world.' ” “Who pays these speakers?” Names Professor Hershey “I don’t know. They all looked pretty well fixed. We have one of them in our State named Prof. Amos Hershey.” Reed then issued forthwith subpoenaes for Hershey and Libbey. Paul McNutt, commander of the Indiana American Legion, told him, Walb said, that the pre-league court workers were flooding home and precinct with propaganda. "I have no idea what It is costing them." Walb said. Walb said the Republicans had raised approximately forty thousand dollars to support their State ticket "Who was the largest single contributor?" “I think it was Mr. James A. Pat ten (Chicago wheat king). T believe he sent $5,000 to elect two Republican Senators.” Walb said Charles Piez. former head of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, had given $750. Shows Pamphlets Walb had gathered up more than a dozen samples of League of Na tions pamphlets which he gave to the committee. Several of these were put out by the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association. "This stuff doesn't help my ticket at all,” Walb commented. "They won't stand for It.” Walb said 16.000 school teachers were in Indianapolis today and that they were to be addressed by Rabbi Stephen A. Wise on "World Peace." “That won’t help much either," the witness said. “We won’t have a chance to reply to them." The Democrats are spending approximately $35,000 on * literature alone, Walb sdid. • Mark Willans of Elwood, Ind.. has been subpoenaed upon n suggestion that he might know something about a story afloat that $8,000,000 has been raised to further American entrance into the Leagup of Nations Emmons was recalled briefly to the stand this morning. “Were you ever a minister?” Reed asked him. "Only In an evangelistic way,” the witness said. “Connected with the Christian Church.” Reed then excused Emmons, but asked him to stand by to be called later, f Bossrrt Takes Stand Bossert was then called. Bossert had been named by Emmons as the man who was ousted from his dragonship by Wizard Evans for failure to support Senator Watson, for renomination. Bossert said he quit the Klan last January. % "How did you come to resign?” Reed asked. “I had been asked to resign the September before and my resignation was accepted in January. "Were you asked directly to resign for political reasons?” “No, not directly. Nobody came to me.” “Now, Mr. Bossert,” Senator Reed said, “I wish you would tell me frankly about this." loathe to Testify Bossert’s testimony was halting and Reed had difficulty drawing him out. "I could he forced out of the Klan of Indiana." Bossert said. "But I couldn’t be made to quit the vice presidency of the national Klan. "I would like to explain my position, if you please. It was my policy to stand for principles and not for men.” “How did that get you into trouble?” Reed asked, D. C'. Supported Men '‘Well, we once had an gfficer, Mr. Stephenson, who believed in supporting men. not principles. “And you didn't agree with the policy of Mr. Stephenson? You followed him in office, did you?” Bossert said he became grand dragon In May 1924. “After you took this position did you use your office in the promotion of candidates for office?” "Yes, sometimes for State jobs.” Bosert said he had many political conferences with Zumbrun. "We discussed Senator Watson," Bossert said. ‘‘He told me he was attorney for Senator Earl Mayfield of Texas, and I introduced him to Senator Watson. He wanted to know as many Senators as possible." Watson was a member of the committee on the seating of Mayfield in the Senate. Previously Emmons had quoted Evans as saying that the Klan was indebted to Watson for getting Senator Mayfield into the Senate. "I understand that Zumbrun was handling the Mayfield case,"% Bossert said. "Wert you asked to support Sen-
ator Watson in the primary?" Reed asked. Bossert hedged. Against Watson “I wouldn't have supported Watson because of my policy,” he said. After several more pointed questions the witness admitted that he i had received information that he would be removed if he did not abandon his policy against supporting individual candidates. “Who gave you that information?” “I heard it from so many different people that I cannot name any of them off-hand.” "Did anyone come to you in the interests of Senator Watson?” “I cannot say they wanted me to support him any more than anyone else. They just wanted me to change my policy.” "Were you removed from office?” “I was.” “By whom?” “By my own resignation.” "Was any pressure brought to bear on you to force you to resign?” Admits Pressure "Yes.” "By whom?” "Well, I discussed it with my Statj board.” "Did you talk about it witli anv officers of the imperial lodge, or whatever you call that thing down there?” “When I was in Washington last winter, Dr. Evans asked me if I was ready to resign. I told him I was." Reed was trying to get Bossert to tell his whole story, but the witness insisted on talking in generalities. “What led up to that conversation with Dr. Evans?" Reed 'asked. "Well, there were so many conversations 1 don’t remember now.” j “Didn’t you discuss with Evans the, reason why your resignation was wanted?” "Well, I understood why. The national klan didn't like my policy.” Reed was growing caustic over Bossert’s elusiveness, but tht witness refused to say he broke with the imperial klan over supporting Watson. "Can't you recall whether Evans or Zumbrun ever talked to you about ; Watson?" "We discussed the general political situation.” Talked With Coffin, Walb “Did you talk with George B. Coffin or Clyde Walb?” "Yes, sometimes.” "Asa matter of fact, Mr. Bossert, you don’t know anything about this, do you? You know you got out. that there were general conversations and that you got out, but you don't know who put you out.” Bossert said Coffin asked him to support Arthur Robinson for the short term in the Senate, but that he refused, because of his policy. “Were you favorable or unfavorable to Senator Watson?" Reed asked. "I was always affiliated with the other faction.” “With Will Hays. Harry New, Jim Goodrich and that faction?" "Yes." "Then you know where your oppo sition came from, don't you?” “I understood that, sir." Eossert said W. Lee Smith succeeded him as grand dragon. Democrat Before l "He was a Democrat before he became grand dragon, wasn't he?" ' Reed asked. "Yes, a Democrat." j “W ell, did the Klan so corrupt him that he became a Republican?” “I can't say as to that.” Reed then showed Bossert form letters from Smith instructing klansmen to vote for Watson, and drew the admission, reluctantly given, I that Smith was doing the work he had refused to do. When Emmons left the stand at 6 1 p. m. Wednesday he was engaged in a heated controversy with Walb. who was waiting to testify. Walb apprpached Emmons and rebuked him for some of his testimony and the fireworks started. Walb Appears Excited Walb appeared to be in a most excited frame of mind and Emmons I WRS Ju s t as emphatic. The argument in the corridors attracted a crowd. Trosecutor William H. Remy of Indianapolis also appeared, but whether he will be questioned is problematical. There are so many witnesses to be heard that it is considered probable that Remy may be allowed to return to the grand jury at Indianapolis if he so desires, and may be called later when the investlgatloni are resumed. Program of Reed According to the program now. the Indian® inquiry will continue here until Friday night when Sena- ' tor Reed is compelled to leave for Missouri for the week end. If the witnesses already called have not been heard by that time, the Inquiry rfiay be resumed either here or in Indianapolis Monday. Robert F. McNey, Klan titan of the second Indiana province, appeared at the hearing today. Others appearing today in answer to subpoenas were Robert L. Lyons, Indianapolis agent for the imperial wizard, and Bert C. Morgan, former prohibition administrator for Indiana. t Broke FYom Klan Emmons said Wednesday he had recently given up his position in the Klan to head the Valley Tabernacle Association. * "This oiganizatlon Is made up of disgruntled members of the Klan.” Emmons said. "Is the membership confined to South Bend?" Reed asked. "Yes.” "How many members does it have?” "About'SDO.” Emmons then told how the V. T. A. had been formed. “George Meyers, a field representative of the Klan, brought to us the news,” said Emmons, "that Walter Bossert was being forced to resign as grand dragon of the Klan because he would not go down the line for Senator Watson. "We loved Bossert and did not want him removed. “We went to Indianapolis to/meet with Hiram Evans, the imperial wizard of the national Klan, about this "Evans said he had a right to appoint dragons and he would remove those who were not satisfactory. "Well, Bossert was removed and our members in South Bend decided to break away. .Affiliation Unknown “We didn’t want to go down the line for Jim Watson because we didn't know Watson was a Klan member.” Emmons said he then organized the V. T. A. lest February,
The witness told of a meeting at about this time with the new Indi ana Klan dragon. W. Lee Smith. "Smith offered me SIO,OOO to back th eKlan and Jim Watson, but I said 1 couldn’t do it,” Emmons said. "Then Smith told me that the good die young and that l was past mid die age. "I took that as a threat,” Emmons said. Letter Submitted Emmons seemed eager to tell his story but it came out in broken fragments and Senator Rued had trouble keeping him on the track The former cyelops then submitted a form letter which Dragon Smith had sent out instructing all Indiana klansmen to vote for Watson. The letter described Watson as a dry, a protestant and a thirty-second degree Mason. “He is favorable,” the letter said. George Rauch, Marion who was running for the long term Senate nomination as a Democrat, was described as “neutral." Albert Stump, opposing Senator Watson in the present Sena'e race, was another neutral, as was John E. Fredrick of Kokomo, another Democratic candidate for the Senate. The letter approved of the Demo cratlc candidacy of L. E. Slack. Reed drew from the letter that the K)an was to support Watson, Republican and Slack, Democrat, in the senatorial primary for the long term. “is that right," Reed asked Emmons. "Yes," the witness replied. "Slack and Watson were klan indorsed. For the short term senatorial nomination on the Republican ticket, the letter indorsed A" R. Robinson. Oswald Ryan, also was indorsed out not as enthusiastically as Robinson. Building the Machine “Since Watson and Robinson were nominated, the Klan is instructed to support them for the long and short terms in the United States Senate?” Reed asked. "Yes," replied Emmons. “These two are the Klan candidates." “From ’your connection with the Klan, what would you stty this or ganization is trying to do?” Reed asked. “Well, I would say they are trying to build up a large political machine.” "Do they confine themselves to the offices of the United States Senate, or do they take in other offices?" FYom Mayors on Up "Well, now, when D. C. Stephenson was our grand dragon Re took in everybody from mayors on up.” The fc. mer Cyclops said that for minor offices such as sheriff's and bailiffs, the selection was left to the local Klan organization. "We'd take them out in the woods and give them the oath and they'd go along with us,"- Emmons said. "Hew successful were you in capturing all the offices in Indiana?” "Oh. we cleaned up under Stephenson. We got everything.” "But Steve has lost his name now. He goes by number.” i "I see,” said Reed. “Steve point- | ed the star of morality out and you all followed.” "That's right,” said the cyclops. Reed then steered Emmons back to his narrative. "Do I understand," said Reed, j "that the Klan is against all Ne ! groes. Catholics and Jews?” All in Same I'ot "You bet; they're all in the same pot in the Klan." "Do they go back as far as Jesus Christ with that?” “Well, I believe our ImperialWizard, Mr. Evans, could convine© the kind of members we bad in Indiana that Jesus was not a Jew.” “That doesn’t speak very well for the intelligence of the Klan does it?" * "That doesn’t sound very well. Senator, but it's true. E( - ans told me once that if we all lifted our visors the looks of the crowd would break down the morale of the Klan.” Counsel for Mayfield Emmons testified that William F Zumbrun, chief executive agent for the Klan in Washington, acted as counsel for Senator Mayfield of Texas, and Senator Dan Steck of lowa in their fight to retain their seats in the United States Senate. Zumbrun now represents Judge William E. English of East St. Louis. 111., whose impeachment trial will be heard by the Senate next month, the witness said. He described Zumbrun as a good Klansman who "had gone to the front for the Klan when no other Klansman would go.” Reed then read another letter, but soon bogged down in a mire of Klan names such as Kleagle, Cyclops, terror, klolers and Klazek. Bailiffs, sheriffs and the small offices as explained by the witness were controlled by signing tlie officials "up". Honorary Members When It w r as found that an official did not want to be publicly known as a Klansman he was made an honorary member of tlie hooded order and Emmons said "we took him to the woods and gave him the oath.” m How judges and juries were handled interested Reed and Emmons told him frankly and candidly. It recalled the charge made by D. C. Stephenson in his smuggled letters wherein he stated that “do and don’t” juries prevailed in nuury counties Emmons quoted Evans as saying: “Visors must be kept down or the morale of the Klan would kill Itself.” Cyclops, Terrors, Klazlks. Kllgraffs and Kleagles tvere the weird names given various officers of the order and caused the official stenog rapliers much concern. Klolero, It was learned, was a meeting of Terrors. And a Terror was a delegate to the IClolevo, which was held for the purpose of naming a Klazeek How the school board of South Bend refused to permit the South Side Junior High School building to be used for the closed secret session planned by Evans when he visited the northern Indiana city, was next told. Evans wanted to tell the boys how to vote in the senatorial race, declared Emmons, but when the doors were opened for the public to conform to the edict of the school board, “The League of Nations" be came the subject of discourse. After the meeting Emmons claims he asked Evans why Watson was being crammed down the throats of the Klansmen, and then Evans let him in, on the big secret. ' "Watson," said Evans, "is a personal friend of mine and Aha K. K.
PAGE 13
K. is his debtor. We owe Watson a great deal,” quoting Evans, Em mons continued: ■ “It was my Influence with Sena tor Watson tliat helped us get to rienutoi Moses (New Hampshire!, who helped us seat one of the best Klansmen in tHe United States. Senator Mayfield of Texas. You know Senator Watson is favorable to the Ku-Klux Klan. whether be is a member or not —he is favorable for he has gone down the line for us.” Emmons took a long breath and then: "Evans was confidential that night. He told me tliat William F Zumbrun, whose name was new to me. had done most for us because he was a good mixer with Senators and their wives and could wine and dine them, and that was another reason why we should put Watson over.” The imperial wizard wanted Wat son put over in so strong a man nor in Indiana that "we can come to Indiana to get the next President of the United States” was the way the South Bend Cyclops quoted Evans "Evans acted girlish,” Emmons said, "hugging and patting me, and explained that when Watson is President ‘Zumbrun will be ambas sador to Mexico and when the Klan marches down Pennsylvania Ave. we will march right through the White House.’ ” A visit to South Bend by J. H. Connaughton. who carried a red card, which proved he belonged to the Imperial Klan, was explained as being in the interest at Watson's candidacy. An appointment about Sept. 1, when Connaughton was to eome back to get a report on the progress being made was not kept said Emmons. Counsel for English The strife, turmoil and conflict in the famous Tomlinson Hall meeting of the Klan In Indianapolis again came to the fore In the testimony. During this part of the Investigation it was brought out that Zumbrun had not only acted aB the Intermediary in the Mayfield matter, but that he had been chief counsel for Dan Steck of liwa when he won the contest over the Brookhart seat In the Senate and that he has been retained as chief counsel by Judge English of East St. Louis, whose trial on Impeachment charges comes before the Senate Nov. 10. In quiet unobstruslve manner Emmons told how the gijand titan of the third Klan province in In diana was none other than James Jackson, brother of Governor Ed Jackson, and present head of the Indiana school for feeble minded youth at Ft. Wayne. James Jack son had held the position of official gardener before a nationally known physchiatrist was removed as head of the institution to make way for him. HOLD MRS.
