KLffl TALKS ’ NICE ABOUT 2 SENATORS Two Thousand City Members Hear Praise of Watson and Robinson. “Senator James A. Reed has come and gone; the grand jury still is in session, but the Knights of the KuKlux Klan go marching on.” Charles J. Orbison, former Democrat and now a national vice president of the Klan, thus expressed the organization’s opinion of present political activities in an address at a meeting of 2,000 Indianapolis Klansmen Monday night at Tomlinson Hall. The meeting clearly established the fact that the regular wing of the Klan organization will actively support the entire Republican senatorial ticket and nearly all of the State nominees. No Politics W. Dee Smith, Indiana grand drafcgon, declared emphatically that the Jovian is not concerned with politics and then proceeded to inform the assembly that an information sheet listing the "records” of the various candidates will be issued to Klan members this week. "We’re just going to give you the dope on these candidates and you can use your own gray matter when you go to the polls,” Orbison amplified. Smith made a marked effort to persuade his audience that the State officials did not Intend to dictate their votes, but the preference for Republican nominees was Indicated clearly in the few "records” he read, quoting from the information sheet. Put in Three Classes “All candidates will be classified as favorable, neutral or unfavorable,” Smith explained. Records of Senator James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson were the longest he read and contained

the most glowing terms of indorsement. Both Senators were described as I working for the passage of important bits of legislation, voting against the World Court, supporting prohibition and their "protestantisin’’ and Masonic affiliation were stressed. Albert Stump and Evans Woollen, the Democratic nominees, on the other hand, were dismissed with faint praise and were classified as neutral. Stump was called a fair lawyer, who has been an unsuccessful candidate for a number of public offices. .Like Watson, he was indorsed as a dry. Woollen, however, was said by the Klan recorders to be neutral on the wet and dry issue. Neutral on Court Both Stump and Woollen were marked as neutral on the subject of the World Court. Proceeding to nearly open indorsement of Frederick E. Schortemeler for Secretary of State and Lewis Bowman for Starte auditor, Smith left the impression that the Klan would frown upon the candidacy of Mrs. Grace B. Urbahns, Republican candidate for treasurer. "Favorable” was the verdict for Charles F. Miller, Jtepublican, who wishes to become superintendent of public instruction. There the illustration of the Klan State head ceased, and Smith left the remainder of the information sheet to the conjecture of the assembly. "I am so glad the word has come for the Klan to stay out of politics,” Mrs. Lillian Sedwick, member of the Indianapolis school board and head of the Marion County Klan women, said. "Some people might say a school board member has no business at a political meeting, since we are not supposed to have school board, but since the Klan is out of politics, I feel I am committing no offense.” Calls it Sacrifice Orbison illustrated what he said were sacrifices necessary to a good Kiansman by declaring: "Two and one-half years ago. I aspirefT to become Governor of Indiana, but I was persuaded that it would be to the good of the organization if another were supported. Therefore I foreswore my own ambition." Smith said those who were conducting the prefeent political agitation "sought to drag present candidates through the mud that once existed in the Klan and to envelop them with the robe and regalia of the Klan. to discredit them as candidates and to destroy the Klan's influence.” "Nevertheless, Smith continued. "The Ku-Klux Klan Is and will be the balance of power in Indiana.” Not to Blame Smith said the Klan was wrongly blamed for the activities of D. C. Stephenson, inasmuch as the Klan had "banished” him after he bad served as grand dragon. Robert Lyons, said to be the political representative of Imperial Wizard Hiram W. Evans, was chairman. Mrs. Lora M. Foote, Klan State women’s director, explained the necessity for a heavy vote among women at the coming election, and said the organization is gaining ground steadily. STRADER REFUSES TO RETURN HERE (Continued From Page 1) promised immunity and that all expenses would be paid for his appearance before the jury, he merely smiled and said, “Nothing doing.” Offers No Excuses All efforts of the special agent to persuade Strader to Return were of no avail. He has no excuses for not coming back—he just will not come. Because he is now located in Pennsylvania no legal proceduce can be exercised to bring him here unless the Federal Government takes a hand In the case. Strader, feeling fortified by his position, told the agent that any one who wanted to talk to him would have to come to Mt. Washington. The former Klan henchman signed a short statement, which closed with the statement that "it is my opinion that too much stress has been placed on my connection with the matter. I took no hand in any of Stephenson’s political affairs. I was employed as office manager of his Master Sales Corporation, in Indianapolis.” He made an attempt to deny his statements made to a Times reporter last week. However, when reminded of the conversation word Yor word he smiled sheepishly and said that the reporter "must have a better memory.” He admitted that John H. Kiplinger, Stephenson’s attorney, has called at the horpe of his brother in Chicago several'* times recently and has asked for him. "He must know where I am, but he has made no effort that I know of, to call me here.” Strader said. Address for KipUnger He asked that Kipllnger be informed that he is living at 316 Kambach St., Mt. Washington, Pa. His phone number if Lafayette 3421-J. , His statement contains, for the

SENATOR REED NAILS •CHICKEN FEED ’ LIES $ i The Indianapolis News quoted Senator Janies A. Reed as saying that his Indiana investigation had produced only “chicken feed.” Here is the public rebuke administered by Senator Reed: “I did not say that the Indiana investigation was chaff and chicken feed. I did say that minor matters, left undone when I was compelled •to leave, were. “I think the investigation proved conclusively that the chairman of the Republican committee put out a deliberate falsehood and was utterly discredited. “Walb said the State was being flooded with money at that time, Oct. 12, and what he meant was a lot of cheap pamphlets. Then it was discovered that the office from which the pamphlets were distributed closed July 1. “I would not make this statement, but since some Indianapolis newspapers have misquoted me, I feel in duty bound to clarify the situation.”

most part, denials made by him to The Times a week ago. Efforts to locate two safety deposit boxes in Pittsburgh banks, supposed to belong to Stephenson, failed. Pittsburgh bankers will not reveal names of holders of boxes and have, according to police, resisted legal moves of law enforcement agencies to examine such boxes. Mrs. Strader seemed elated over the reappearance of Miss Mildred Moadc, former sweetheart. She said she will write the girl Immediately. Strader said that if Miss Meade was in Chicago during her disap-

pearance she did not appear at his brother’s store because the brother knew her and would have informed him. Then he said, “Oh, I know, that was the time she was supposed to take her vacation. That's what she was doing.” When reminded that It was an inopportune time to take a leave of absence, Strader said nothing.

COUNCIL ACTION HITSPIAN BODY Ordinance Would Make Functions Merely Advisory. City councilmen Monday night struck at the city plan commission for its failure to approve an ordinance council adopted to allow filling stations at the south approach of the Delaware St. bridge over Fall Creek. An ordinance was introduced to take from the plan commission the power to change the classification of business or residential districts and confer that power exclusively on the council. Only the power of recommendation would remain for the plan body, according to the measure. Then councilmen received an ordinance to rezone Forty-Sixth St. and Central Ave. from residential to business classification. Councilmen have taken the stand the Delaware St. ordinance was passed legally inasmuch-as the measure originated in council, thereby rendering approval by the plan body unnecessary. Curses U• S. While Dry Squad Works “Damn this country. I hate it.” So spoke John Stephnoff when a police squad arrested him Monday night on a blind tiger charge at a soft drink bar operated by himself and brother, at 2957 W. Tenth St. When police entered the <placq they found John behind the bar. Search revealed whisky in a coffee pot. On arresting John he cursed the country, asserting he intended to start away from it today, and then begged the officers to shoot him. They took him to headquarters. He is held under high

bond. His brother, Pete, was arrested on a liquor charge when police returned to the bar.
