STOP KLAN SALARY FOR HUFFINGTON Great Titan No Longer on National Pay Roll of Hooded Order. PROMINENT IN POLITICS Evansville Man Regarded Stephenson’s Successor. Joseph M. Huffington, exalted cyclops of the Evansville Ku Klux Klan and great titan of province No. 1, realm of the Klan, has been removed from the national pay roll, it was learned here today. A familiar figure in political and legislative circles in Indiana for three years Huffington left Indianapolis abruptly last week after it became known that Imperial Wizard Hiram W. Evans, was to visit the city. Ousted After Visit From sources close to the throne in the secret organization it has been learned that Huffington was given his conge when H. Kyle Ramsay, a national officer, came to Indiana on an inspection tour, Huffington, so it was said, was slated to succeed W. Lee Smith as Grand Dragon for Indiana. At that time Ramsay had not made his inspection and report. The building program of the Evansville lvlavern is reported to be the basis of differences between Huffington and the Imperial Kloncilium. £ A severe slap was administered the Huffington group, which is aligned locally with the George V. Coffin organization, when the Indiana Senate defeated the’ bill which would have created a Criminal Court in Vanderburg County. The measure had passed the House by a large vote, secured principally through “log rolling” and “trading” methods. Mayor Herbert Males, of Evansville, who admitted before Senator James Reed, in the senatorial slush fund investigation that he had been summoned to Washington by Evans, to consult on purely local appointments and had his expenses paid by the Klan, is said to be in Washington now in HufTington's behalf. The reason given is that the Evansville mayor is lobbying in the National Capitol on behalf of a bridge across the Ohio River at Evansville. Political Chief The dismissal of Huffington frcffii the national Klan pay roll does not necessarily carry with it removal from the Evansville klavcrn. As Great Titan Huffington had charge of the First, Second, Third, Fifth and Seventh congressional disrticts. Indianapolis is in the Seventh district. He has also been in charge of the political efforts of the organization in Indiana especially during the Legislature. Until recently lie maintained a suite of rooms at a downtown hotel. Huffington has been regarded as the successor to D. C. Stephenson, former Grand Dragon, Serving a life sentence for the murder of Madge' 1 Oberholtzer, Indianapolis, in matters political, despite the fact that Smith is the Grand Dragon. During the Reed hearing Indiana Klan matters were aired at Chicago, Indianapolis, Kansas City and St. Louis. At Kansas City a letter was read into the record signed by Lora Foote, a woman worker in the Klan, which indicated that Huffington had been Slated to be grand dragon and would succeed Smith \shortly. Started Feud This information is reported to have started a feud between the grand dragon and the great titian. For a time it seemed as though the Evansville man would come out on top. Ramsay’s visit and action have changed this, however, it is said. The latest maneuver of the Huffington faction was seen in the introduction of a bill in the Indiana Senate by Senator George W. Sims, aspirant for secretary of State, of Terre Haute, part of Huffington’s former domain, which would amend the city manager law so that an incumbent could not be removed until the expiration of the term to which he had been elected. This move was taken to prevent substitution of the city manager plan of government for Evansville and Indianapolis, where Herbert Males and John L. Duvall ara the city executives.

Post of the American Legion at its monthly dinner at the First Presbyterian Church, Tuesday night. Nelson is a world traveler and has been t in the Orient since 1924.

Fiftieth St. Urges Force “America must provide protection for her in China, if we are not to be made the laughing stock,” Nelson contended. “Our country is, anil always will be peace-loving, but repeated efforts to establish amicable relations with the various Chinese governments have failed thus far. The alternative is to deal with them only on the terms they understand, and that is by force.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 9, 1927

YES, HERE WAS ONE SPONGER Agent of Chicago Company Is Explanation Given of Mystery Man. The mysterious J. H. Sprenger who dealt in table tops in Indianapolis a year or so ago disclosed today by correspondence made public by County Attorney Clinton A. Givan to have been the agent of a Chicago firm. Times reporters have sought this ‘‘Mr. Sprenger” industriously for a week. “Sprenger" became an important figure in the investigation of why $650 worth of tables and stool tops for the county jail, ordered Feb. 8, 1926, by county commissioners had not been delivered. The stool tops arrived, but the tables were missing. Interest in “Sprenger” grew when it was found the address of the "Sprenger Equipment Company” in commissioners’ records was giVan as 5527 Bonna Ave., which happens to be a vacant lot next door to 5525, where the machine shop of J. E. Hogle, nephew of County Commissioner Cassius L. Hogle, is located. Mystery Calls The mystery grew still deeper today when a series of mysterious telephone calls from someone who said they were at the county commissioners’ office and gave AVill Goodwin, vice president of the Brookside Lumber Company, orders to deliver the long missing table tops county jail at once. The tops had been ready since last, summer, Givan said, but Sheriff Omer Hawkins, objecting to the type of equipment, had refused to accept it, so it had not been delivered. An attempt to deliver the tops was made late Tuesday, but a deputy sheriff refused to accept them. Sheriff Hawkins finally let them be unloaded in the rear of the jail this morning. Goodwin said his company received no orders as to delivery of the tops until the first of the mystery telephone calls late Tuesday, directed they be sent to county Jail. Deputy sheriffs refused the tops and the second mystery call this morning, Goodwin said, ordered the tops be taken back to the jail and piled on the sidewalks if they were refused. Agent of Company Sprenger, according to the correspondence Givan exhibited, was the agent of the Morris-Capron Company, dealers in road building equipment, 11 S. La Salle St., Chicago. Early last year the Morris-Capron Company arranged with John E. Hogle for storage and desk space at the machino shop for its representative. Sprenger showed up in January as the representative. He established himself as the Sprenger Equipment Company and tried to get some county business. Asa separate sales agency. Givan said, Sprenger was permitted to represent other lines of business, so he put In a bid on the table tops and ! stools. It was the low bid and it was I accepted. Sprenger ordered the stools from a Cincinnati firm and the table i tops from the Brookside Lumber 1 Company. County Disappoints Meanwhile Sprenger had not sold any road building equipment to the county bo the Chicago firm termij nated the arrangement for storage ; and desk space in the machine shop j of the nephew of the county commissioner. A sample road grader which Sprenger had stored at the Hogle place was sold to the county April 1, 1926, for SBOO. Records show this is the only sale of road equipment Sprenger made to the county. Sprenger was withdrawn to Chicago and later left the employ of the company, Givan said. The firm now does not know where Sprenger is, he said. Meanwhile the table top-stool deal was not completed, so, according to Givan, Sprenger turned his liabilities and assets os the contract over to John E. Hogle. Ho gave Hogle power to cash the checks which the county’ paid for the equipment and directions to pay the bills. This Hogle did, according to Givan, explaining why J. E. Ilogle’s name appears upon a $256 cheek which the Sprenger Equipment Company made out to the Brookside Lumber Company for the table tops. The county paid $350 for the tops. Dec. 20, 1926, which indicated a profit of $96 for the Sprenger EquipHogle, since Sprenger had turned the deal over to him to complete. And, according to Goodwin, the lumber company was not paid until Jan. 4, 1927. Givan declared that the George V. Coffin organization, trying to punish Cassius L. Hogle and Commissioner Charles O. Sutton for failure to put across Coffin deals, is trying to make political capital out of the table topstool affair, hut that the correspondence he holds explains the deal. Meanwhile, Prosecutor William H. Remy called in GoCdwin and questioned him about the table sops.
