KLAN POLITICAL ‘GENIUS' ENTERS SUIT INSTATE W. F. Zumbrunn Will Be Organization’s Attorney in Ouster Case. Appearance of W. F. Zumbrunn of Washington, D. C., as attorney for the Knights of the Ku-Klux Klan in the suit brought against the organization by Attorney General Arthur L. Giiliom in Circuit Court, will inject the “political genius of the Klan’’ into the proceedings, it was said in political circles today. Charles J. Orbison, former national vice president of the Klan, and his son, Telford Orbison, also filed appearance Monday afternoon. Giiliom asks that the organization be ousted from Indiana because it has failed in performing the “patriotic” purposes set out in its charter. The attorney general names Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard, and Joseph M. Huffington, Indiana grand dragon, defendants in the suit. Klan Files Appearance The appearance was filed a few hours before expiration of the return date. Had no appearance been forthcoming Monday afternoon Giiliom might have tried to obtain a judgment on default. Zumbrunn originally was from Kansas City, Mo. He went to Washington within the last few years and although he carries no title in the Klan organization, he is considered the closest advisor of Evans and the “political genius” of the national Klan. The attorney is wealthy and has large holdings in Mexico, which he often visits. Silent on Klux Plans In addition to his part in contacts with the Klan and Indiana politicians, Zumbrunn was an attorney for former Federal Judge George W. English of East St. Louis, 111., who resigned rather than face impeachment before the Senate. He also was involved in the fight of Senator Steck of lowa and Senator Brookhart when Steck was seated, and in Senator Mayfield’s (Texas) fight for a place in the Senate. Local Klan attorneys have refused to discuss their plans. It was said they might attack the court’s jurisdiction or file special pleadings alleging the persons named as defendants were the wrong ones in this action.

TARIFF SLASH MAY BE TACKED ONJAX BILL Senate Democrats Plan to Follow Up McMaster Resolution Victory. By PAUL R. MALLON, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Senate Democrats are working out a scheme to promote their fight against the Republican tariff rates in a real way. They are encouraged by the action of the Senate in adopting 54 to 34, Monday. The McMaster resolution advising the House to institute legislation to reduce some tariff rates to establish a closer economic parity between agriculture and industry. But they know that the action can be made nothing more than a futile gesture by the strong Repuolican majority in the House which has indicated it will take no notice of the Senate's advice. The Constitution requires that all revenue-raising measures originate in the House. The Senate cannot institute such bills. Amendments Planned The tax reduction bill originated and passed by the House is now in the Senate and is a revenue-raising measure within the provision of the Constitution. So the Democrats are planning to tack on this bill a few amendments providing for reduction of certain tariff rates, especially the rate on aluminum. Twelve farm bloc Republicans joined with the Democrats in the action Monday and they believe they may expect similar help from the Mid-Western farm Senators in adopting tariff amendments to the tax bill. By this method they hope to write a little tariff bill in the tax bill when that measure goes back to the House. Thus they can force the matter to a vote of the House and get the Republican Congress on record. They know, of course, that the House probably will kill any Senate tariff amendments. Delay Will Be Sought At the request of Democrats, a meeting of the Senate Finance Committee was called today by Republican Chairman Smoot to consider action on the tax bill. Smoot and the Republican majority on the committee have indicated they will seek to delay action on the measure until after March 15 treasury returns are made. They claim the $290,000,000 reduction provided by the House is too great. Democratic members of the committee have voted unanimously in favor of immediate action on the measure. Tariff agitation in the House was to begin today with Representative Dickinson (Rep.) lowa, leader of the House farm bloc, introducing a resolution calling for upward revision of tariff rates on corn, beef products and vegetable oils, aimed to raise farm prices by shutting out foreign competition. Practically all tariff proposals in the House take this form, the reverse of Senate proposals. CALL OFFICERS’ PARLEY State Law Enforcement Meeting Is Set for Jan. 18.

Pure, Unfiltered Light Shines Into Courthouse

Dirt Accumulation ff 20 Years Is Cleaned From Skylight. If the sun shines any place today, county employes begged that it visit the Courthouse, where for the first time in more than twenty years there will be no obstacle to its efforts to cast a few bright rays in the dark and dingy corridors. For today every inch of glass in the Courthouse skylights is clean. John McGregor, superintendent of the janitorial force, will sjvear to it. Workmen swabbed for a week. “Today dawned in anew way at the Courthouse,” McGregor predicted. “For the first time in about twenty years, every pane of glass in both the upper and lower skylights are clear of dirt. There were some places up there where potatoes would have thrived if the sun could have reached them. “And for the benefit of Courthouse employes and visitors, let it be known that the skylight sidewalls will be sprayed with whitewash to lighten things up some more.” McGregor is making tests of floor cleaning machines that will put dirt and dust into another world. One is tj be purchased soon by county commissioners, it was said. The new municipal courtrooms on the fourth floor are nearing completion and when done the several statues of Miss Liberty and Miss Justice that form part of the exterior wall decoration around the fourth floor will have a session with paint brushes. The statues are grimy and the surfaces badly chipped. All the Credit You Want at Cash Prices PENNSYLVANIA TIRES Consumers Tire Cos. 301 X. Delaware Bt.

GLADDENUNDER FIRE Ouster Move May Follow Teacher License Probe. A move to oust Fred E. Gladden from his position as assistant State superintendent of public instruction may result from investigation of the teacher’s license issued to Miss Faye Green the day before Roy P. Wise hart took the position of State superintendent. Wisehart is to take the matter up with the State board of education next Friday. Miss Green has surrendered license and is attending normal school at Terre Haute, Ind. She had a second grade high school certificate and had taught at Lexington and Scottsburg. According to Wisehart she had not more than one-third of the sufficient credits required for such a teacher’s license. C. R. Maxam, head of the license division, declared that he had refused to issue the certificate, but it was issued by “higher authority” on the last day that Charles F. Miller, now superintendent of the Indianapolis schools, served in the State post. It bears the Miller signature, Wisehart said, and the entire matter is to be brought before the board.

SENATE DELAYS TAXCUT MOVE G. 0. P. Votes Solid to Wait Until March 15. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The Senate Finance Committee voted today to delay further action ca the $290,000,000 tax reducYion bib until after March 15, treasury receipts can be inspected. The action was taken by a strict party vote, all Republicans favoring the delay and Democrats pleading for immediate action. The step was taken by Republicans upon advice of Secretary of Treasury Mellon, who complained that the large reduction provided in the House bill would jeopardize the treasury financial system unless March 15 returns indicated a much larger surplus this year than had been expected. The committee also voted to take up the alien property bill Monday. Decision for delay in the tax bill makes it virtually certain now that the measure will not be considered in the Senate. Democrats have recourse to a vote on the Senate floor, but the majority there is against them. Independent Republicans of the farm bloc generally favor the Administration plan to delay and they would vote against any Democratic movement for immediate action. DISCUSS BUS INSURANCE Interstate Vehicles Problem Up to Public Service Commission. Rulings requiring interstate buses operating into Indiana to carry insurance equal to that of buses operating entirely within the State are being discussed by the public service commission. Frank T. Singleton, chairman, is drafting anew requirement calling upon interstate bus companies to file with the commission an affidavit or other evidence that they are carrying insurance which if not on par with interstate bus lines will be increased to that point.
