Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 20.?. sensational tale of alleged politic? intrigue, involving the Ec Klu Klan, Horse Thief Detective Assort: tioii, gan-totir.g preacners and ui Indiana Anti-Saloon League, ws enfolded here today by Hugh 1 Emmons, a former klan Cyclops, i a dopositic.il given to Attorney Gei oral A.

Emmon who between 11)23 and 192fi, incl sive. said he was associated with Vr ley Klan No. of South Bend ai St. Joseph county, declared he hi been told by W Lee Smith, until r oently .grand dragon, that the seen order was formed for the purpose < getting political control of the Un ted States. For eight hours, En mons unravelled the story of ho he said, the klan stuffed baih boxes, used whiskey to win election raided men 'in had" with the o ganization. and boycotted Catholic and Jews who were in basiness. "i was a kind of double crossing propi sition," he said, after alleging tht men were brought into the klan o ?, one set of principles and give another set to follow when they ha Prohibition and the Presidency ; (Collier's Weekly) prohibition is the m >st exciting >:?

Whit? first is the present condj-ioii? Th- most conspicuous fact is that * prohibitum has not stopped drinking has lereiy changed the nature [ of rh: liquor traffic. The saloon has la-en abolished. Recognized brewci& and distilleries are idosed. Both the menu fact'i re and 'he distribution i vf liquors of all sorts are now elan. destine -and cuminab The bootleg; yer has succeeded the saloonkeeper > and the wine merchant. ? The volume of liquor consumed i may possibly have been reduced. ? The quality has certainly been im? paired, 'lhe character 01 the men - engaged in the business is obviously I worse. Before prohibition the liquor 1 trade carried a social stigma: now it . is a mark of the criminal. In contrast with this; drinking ha? ^ lost it- stigma. Before the war tc , be drunken was a disgrace. Now toy f | often it is a matter of jest.
