FLORIDA JUDGE
RAPS ON K. K. K.
Orlando, Fla., June 16.?Declaring
that there is no place for "an invisible
empire" within the United States and
v characterizing the ursurpation of
governmental functions by the Ku
Klux Klan or any other organization
as destined to do an estimable wrong
to society, United States Judge Henry
D. jClayton assailed the policies
and principles of such societies in
Aery phraseology today in an address
before the Florida State Bar association.
"It is true," Judge Clayton said,
"that the people have the right to
revolutionize or change their government
whenever they see At to do so,
but . it is quite p different thing for
this set of pien or that set of men to
""" undertake outside of the law to declare
\ Jiat the government is inefficient
and to arrogate to themselves
the power to furnish supplemental re^There

continued, "for an invisible empire

reason for clan or gang to do any
part of the business of governing or
correcting or punishing citizens. A
secret organization for such purposes
is reprehensible notwithstanding
avowals of its members that they
hn^ ,n\vom to uphold the constitution'of
the United States. Such avowals
and such oaths can not defeat
the just charge that these organizations
are conspiracies against law and
, ' government."
, Judge Clayton said he would cite
If the case of - "en eminent citizen of
(Alabama," who, he said, joined the
klan and later discovered that a "regular
docket" was maintained containing
ca$es against citizens of the
state.

this 'docket/ many of whose cases

.that "organizations such as this have
no place in our land, they are not
useful in the governing business and
?V C*M not fail to be productive of

'" -nSlzhods of the klan, Judge Clayton
declared "they * are practiced under

No fltccdtnmendation
On Dial Amendment
Washington, June 16.?The subcommittee
of the senate agricultural committee
will report the cotton futures
amendment of Senator Dial without
recommendation and it would cause no
surprise were the committee likewise
to report it to the senate.
Tile members of the committee, in
ether words, are apparently afraid
either to approve an amendment
which the farmers approve or to turn
^ down an amendment which the cotton
K exchanges insist must be turned
down.
Senator Dial said this afternoon
that he has asked the committee, to
send his amendment to the senate immediately.
He feels, confident that
w?h action regarding it must be
taken in the light, its opponents will
be exceptionally few. Senators from
cot&n producing states who are members
of the committee ar?* Smith of
South Carolina, Harrison of Mississippi,
Heflin of Alabama, Ransdell of
Louisiana and Caraway of Arkan
SB8.
Ransdell, who openly defends the
exchanges of New Orleans, is the only
member who has admitted his opposition.
The amendment would further restrict
cotton exchanges in delivering
any one of ten grades of deliverable
tutwn IU iiurcnuMfrs.
Its author has accepted invitations
from various cities of the South, especially
in Texas and Alabama, to address
business men and farmers on.
his amendment. He will make a tour,
it is indicated, as soon ns congress
adjourns. H. W. R.

TROUBLE OVER !
BONUS ISSUE
By Hugh W. Roberts.
Washington, June 16.?If the tariff 1
bill is sidetracked in favor of the s
bonus bill Tuesday, according to the s
plans of Senator Porter J. McCumber, i
the president will suffer the embar- y
rassment of his executive existence. 1
The passage of the bonus bill, its rejection
by the president and its pas- t
sage despite the veto of the prasi- t
dent will make a public split be- *
tween congress and the, executive J
which, the president knows, will give <
reason for additional disgust to the ?
people and provide the Desmocrats 1
with another excellent campaign is- ?
sue. I
There is no necessity for immediate
action on the bonus bill which can \
not be effective before January 1, 5
1923. But McCumber is apaprently i
anxious that action be taken at his I
instance prior to June 28, the date
of a primary in which his constituents s
will pass on his record. The bulk of {
the Republican membership would ^
prefer to follow the president; but if (
McCumber requires them to vote, it t
is believed that they will follow McCumber,
for many of them, like Mc- <
Cumber, have elections in their dis- t
tricts. The wrestle of McCumber and 1
the president is no less strenuous i
than that of Jacob and the ungel. t
Acting on instructions from Hard <
ing, Senator Lodge, Republican lead- j
er, has called a caucus for Monday. >
T 4.1 T 1 ?*1 1 ? A -
in ine caucus i?uge wii lenueavor 10
dissuade McCumber on the plea that
party solidarity will be jeopardized.
He will promise, it is understood, to
put the bonus over after the elections
and in plenty of time for it to
be operatice the first of the year.
But after the elections McCumber
will probably be a dead cock in the
pit. It is known that he will argue
that the party will be more criticised
for wiggling and wobbling respecting
the bonus than for any action which
might result in an open rupture between
the legislative and administrative
branches. The indications are
that the caucus will stand against
calling up the bonus and that McCumber
will decline to be bound by
that action.
' The North Dakota senator Is severely
criticized by his colleagues on
the ground that he would jeopardize
the whole party in the hope of sslving
his own skin and for the same purpose
would sidetrack the tariff bill,
the delayed passage of which he has
attributed to filibustering Democrats
rather than his own questionable
leadership. The Democrats expect to
reap political advantage irrespective
of the direction in which "the cat
jumps." .<f? 1
Labor's Interpretation of
< Supreme Court Decision
Cincinnati, June 17 (By the Associated
Press).?Labor's interpretation
of the supreme court's decision in the
celebrated Coronado coal cases, holding
the international unions subpject
to damage suits under the Sherman <
anti trust law was presented today to
the American Federation of Labor
convention by its executive council,
composed of its eleven officers. "Th?
supreme court can not crush the labor
movement without endangering the (
foundations of society," declared the
report, and "workers will not accept
slavery therefor, will not accept that
which makes slavery likely or possible.
They will find a way 10 preserve
those liberties they have and gain ]
more."

RHINE TROOPS I
I TO DEPART SOON
r- Berlin, June 1-6 (By the Associated
s- Bress).- -The presence of troops of e
nt "lower civilfzation" under the condi n
r- tions of military occupation is unde- d
h sirable not only in the Rhineland but tl
S anywhere, \n the opinion of Ma. Gen. I1
h' Henry T. Allen, commander in chief n
le of the American army of occupation, ^
r- as expressed by him in conference
u- with the American representatives at u
the embassy. He was being inter- o
jr viewed regarding negro troop units n
ir on the Rhine. General Allen will re t]
/e turn to Coblenz tonight after a tw q
rs days' social visit to Berlin. e
i- General Allen said that in his con c
io ncction with the Rhineland high com ti
al mission he had been present at a C
in number of conferences with Ger- n
mans with regard to the presence o'
m colored troops in Germany?first with I
id the clergy then with university pro- p
to fessors and later with the newspaper n
Id men?in all of which it was empha- o
to sized that it would be better if these g
s- units were replaced. General Allen v
ii- said most of the actually black units e
already had been deported. All th? s
v- Singalese had gone and ^>nly a part a
c- bf the Madagascar troops remained, a
to However, *lhere were about 15,000If
n- colored troops still on the Rhine, com- b
a- posed of north African units, among t
iil whom a number of what are known o
n- as 'black soldiers" are enrolled. None
of these wete under his command h ^
added and there was no prospect tha
>ny would be.
ic General Allen expressed the hope
n- that shortly no troops at all would \
s- be required on the Rhine. He de- c
at clarcd the occupation of Rhur was v
"too terrible to think of" and a move s
to that nobody wants. "Even the French t

As regards the withdrawal of Am t

Allen said he had no idea how {
h long the remaining contingent would $
stay. For the present the American r
