There are no members of the order among the North Carolina dele gation in the house according to the best Information obtainable today. This was the Washington develop ment IncJdeot to the sensational ex pose and repudiation of the North Carolina Ku Klux Klan by Major Bruce Craven, the supreme head of the Klan in the state, hh published in the ireensboro Dally News this morning. In the course of his extended repudiation of the Ku Klux Major Craven asked "why did I fall for It?" and then explained that he went in only after he pre sum ably had been given the whole story of the or gHnization. He paid he was told "that Senator Simmons was one of the first to affiliate with it: that Senator Overman had been refused ad mission, that Josephus Daniels was rrgarded as too friendly to the negro; ihat Governor Morrison had first attacked- the order and then come iirntind to It." and so on. Senator Simmons and Senator Over man assert positively that Major Craven had been misinformed so far aw they are concerned. The senior sen ator says he had never joined the Ku Klux. knows nothing of Its purposes, and has neither sought membership nor been sought after. Substantially the same statement Is made by Senator Overman, who suyn he haa neither sought to be a member nor been rejected. "I know no more about the Ku Kluxi Klan (bun 1 do about the man in the moon, r.ftid Senator Overman. "I have Me vr been asked to jol n and have n-vfr' tried to join. 1 have never in vestigated to see whether it In a good tiling or a bad thing and have not had it ii y connection whatsoever with the order. Major Craven's article is very interesting, but he iw misinformed bo f ;tr as 1 am concerned." .Senator Simmons smiled broadly hen he read that his name among others had been usd in getting Major Craven into the organization. "I am not a member of the Ku Klux Klan." raid Senator Simmons. "I nev er have applied for admission, nor. n the other hand, has anybody in North Carolina ever suggested to nu t hat I ought to become a member. 1 am not familar with the object s or ritual of the order and consequently cannot approve -or disapprove of It. It has occurred to me some time ago that t here was doubt of the wisdom of such an organization and 1 saw no particular need for it, but I have never gone into the matter. I -never under stood just exactly why it was formed and have been too busy with other things to inquire. "That is all 1 know about It. Who ever told Major Craven t hat I had Jdined certainly misled him. There is nothing In It. Most members of the North Carolina delegation In the house have gone to the state over the week-end but of the four located here today Messrs. Hammer, Stedman, Pou and Ward no one had any affiliation with the order All said they knew nothing about Its objects nor the persons making up the organization In North Carolina Representative Hammer said he was practically certain that no member ot ongresa from his state had ever Join ed the order or indorsed It and that seemed to be the sentiment in the state delegation. haleh;h look o ki km x A A WORRY SORT OK SHOW Or, In Other Words, a Portrait of An Ugly Spot.

Aug.' 5. fioldsboro citi zens, confessedly distraught by the emotional aftermath of the Ham re vival, ure nearer normalcy than they have been for ail tle publicity received without any desire for advertisement. They are calling today on all and sundry people to make those who have written or spoken see that there f. more in controversy than the mere mastery of argument as carried on by the several champions. The cly is divided as to whether the onslaught of the Daily News was entirely sus tained. A disciple of the Rev. Mr. Ham will hardly concede that the spirit which animates him in his re newed life will ever express In hostil ity to a human being. And feeling that way this convert cannot compre hend how any paper could have made such an astonishing discovery as the Daily News staff correspondent pre sented in the Monday and Tuesday stories. There Is another coterie, just ss large and Just as intelligent, which says the news articles were entirely true to fact. This element thinks all the stories were Justified by acts ac- complised and in the making, and that there has been a warfare between truth and error in which truth won a victory. But these people wish that truth might be satisfied without rub bing It in. It is easy to set the view of both. The men who have taken Cielr religion rationally and have al lowed It to trinsform them, do no see that the revival has moved many a brother and even more often a aister differently. These Christians d-.i nrt like to read such a reconft of such an awakening. And if they did, there is yet a capital consideration. The two have llve? i the same community and must conttnr to dwell together. Both Hamites an; the antis fear that pro longed aglt .tiori will "eiiue serious trouble." Jews Won't Comment. Pu thj Daily News his had to take a different position still It has had to step into a neighbor's row and take sides. The wise man has likened such a citizen to him that taketh a dog by the ears. The paper has had to reply on partlrars to niako outcry loud enough for it to hear and on neutrala. benevolent and otherwise, to get ap proximate truth. Porhape half the city yet regards the- paper -a a an Impudent intruder, certainly s gullible Institu tion to take seriously the manifest overstatement of 'hose who first called the post revival conduct to the paper's attenMon. It took the greater aortlon of Thurs day to reach a viewpoint. The most prominent Jews of Goldshoro, against whom the most objectionable forms of religious bigotry appeared to have taken expression, were away. The others would not talk. There was not one Hebraist here yesterday who would even admit that he had ever talked about this thing. It was patent that a good reason dominated these people. They had everything that they own tied up here. They must live with their Christian and un -Christian neighbors. Their more representative brothers were away. Then the very Inng article signed by the prominent citizens of the town had appeared in the Raleigh paper The major denial of these citizens was that there has been any Jew-bait ma at any time. The article was the best evidence of the gtsd work done I v Rev. Mr. Ham. The writers wrote under what they regarded very great provocation; they expressed them selves with great moderation. In that was the solitary strength of Ihe use lessly Innj argument. It was an ex ceedingly loo.';'' irno of reasoning. It had the temper of pontics. It sough to minimize the achievements of the communltv 6tM ice workers hy ac crediting persons not )dntiflMl with the present quarrel. Rut it wa kindly couched anrl the -nen who write It were bitterly resentful of the paper's conduct. The Wind and the Whirlwind. It is little to the controversy that on every train going from tJoldsboro there has been the same story of srti flcial excitement never noticed here before. The regenerated Hamites wh followed the preacher and were made disciples of Christ Jesus look upon the Ham visit as an epoch In munici pal life. These men have federated for the spread of Christian doctrine and carrying the k ingdom to the utter most parts. They are about a Chris tJan's bu!n'ss. They think the town has been Mirred all right, but Bet In the right kind of motion. It Is Idle to deny the good done by Mr, Ham When Majors Matt Allen, John Langs- ton and a hundred others will go to the country to conduct a prayer and experience meeting, the power of John W. Ham must be conceded. And this was done a hundred times over. They did not always agree with the Ham methods, but they were in accord with his chief purposes. But religion doesiW affect all peo ple alike" It has been safd that ardent apirlts move some men to love; others to violence. What might be a harm less dram to one man would result In drunk to another. A beautiful senti ment to one might superinduce an emotional debauch in another. The very radical difference In the effects pro duced on different men by l he same thing are the moving causes In the religious liberty accorded people. Nobody denies that Mr. Ham preache at times tremendously: he is pictures que, his figure! are ex'ravagant. his assault are Intense. He ts magnetic.

Paily News Burfiiii and Telegraph Offlcfl. The Rlcp; Bull'llnfc iBv Leased wire) Washington. "Aug. 5. It is already apparent here that "taxation Is to be the overshadowing Issue of the politi cal campaign next year. Talks with leaders of the Democratic party in Congress reveal that the Democrats are already convinced their Issue is made. The forthcoming taxation bill, members of the minority party be lieve, will be'po disappointing to the ordinary tax payer that a political upheaval is Inevitable. Minority members of the ways and means committee and the finance com mittee of the two houses, such as Sen ators Simmons and Williams and Representatives Kit chin, earner and Crisp, are taking a critical view of each Republican step and the adminis tration program Is declared to he load ed with trouble. Mr. Kltchln, taking a long range view from Scotland Neck, is reported here to be highly indig nent over what he regards as the Republican plan to relieve the wealthy classes of much of their taxes, only to Impose additional levies and nuisance taxes on the ordinary contributor. The tentative Republican Bcheme of taxation, the Democrats say. mei.ns not only that there will be no lifting of tax burdens but that the burdens will be shifted from the shoulders of the corpulent rich to the undernourish ed ultimate consumer. The Demo crats aver they want no better Issue with which to go to the country next year. While there are party differences over the tariff, the leaders of the pres ent minority have already agreed that the major campaign Issue of 1922 will be taxation. Almost a Tax Revolt. Proposed levies on automobiles, bank checks and first class postage. the Democrats reason, will be almost suf ficient In themselves to create such public discontent that the party In power will be repudiated at the polls, They reason further that If the ex cess profits tax and the higher brackets income taxes are repealed and the man further down the line with only small profits or income Is overlooked, there will be almost a tax revolt. "A bill essentially In the Interest of tne classes and for the penalization of the masses; a rich roan's till," Is the comment of Representative John Garn er, of Texas, second Democrat in rank on me ways and means committee. From his home in North Carolina where he is now recuperating after long Illness, Representative Claude Kltchln, the ranking Democrat of the committee and minority floor leader In the house, denounces the proposal to repeal the excess profits and higher Income taxes "and to pass the burden along to the little cor- poration or the little fellow with their small incomes. The Democrats allege that an in crease in the corporation tax from in to 15 per cent is a poor substitute for repeal of the profits taxes. This high er corporation tax. they contend, will hit hard the corporation that is do ing a comparatively small business and will not hurt the "profiteers and irusrs. Representative Charles R. Crisp, of Georgia, anotner member of the wavs and means committee, predicts the Re publican taxation bill will disappoint practically the entire country and nec essarily will afford the campaign issue next year. Wholly Republican Bill. "Democrats of the ways and means committee," he said, "have been ex cluded from the conferences and the Republicans are framing the bill. It will be their child. There Is nothing ti the administration suggestions nor the tentative commission program to give any comfort to the average tax payer. "The proposed tax on hank checks wilt merely cause the hoarding of mil Hons of dollars by peisctis who will iaae tneir money from cimilat inn mere Is no justificattn for three-cent ieuer postage. A tax on all automo ones will hit the poor farmer with his nivver, while it is taking a few dol !ars from the multimillionaire with his limousine. Repeal of the higher In come tax feature is merely a conces sion to the rich. It does not concern the average taxpayer. "Repeal of the excess profits taxes Is to be swapped for a highor rorpora tlon tax that will hurt the business nf the struggling small corporation. Cer tain nuisance taxes are to he abolished, ft appears, but other nuisance taxes are to be Substituted. It is found In expedient to remove more than .0 por cent, of the high transportation taxes at that time; but we are promised there will be other reductions later. "I eee nothing in the bill that means any material lifting of taxation bur dens, such as waa promised the coun try. Instead it seems the taxes mere ly are to be shifted. It will be a most unpopular bill unless many changes are made in the majority program as It exists todjay .-; JBBSsa Banana aw 'I I: 1 11 r; v rji i ,i in-Tristasinnir The schooner Henry L.

Reserve bank policies of 1919 and 1920 were formu lated solely to prevent the country's banking system from collapse, and were successful in their object, Gov ernor Harding, of the reserve hoard declared today in olosing a two days appearance before a joint congres sional commission. To questioners he repeated time and again a declaration that the board had not sought to in fluence prices, either up or down, but had prepared to meet a price break that was worldwide, and yet to main tain and expand credit lines. There was a bare possibility, he said, that if In 1919 the reserve board had raised national rediscount rates, "the runaway in prices might have been checked., and the result might have been better." but he mentioned needs of the government financing as influ ential In determining the course ac tually taken. Representative Sumner, Democrat, Texas, suggested that the word might have gone out" from the board to hankers to be' fearful ot prices, but clovernor Harding said that nothing had been done Inconsistent with his statement. It wasn't a good time to be talking i too much in 1920," he remarked, "but we can be bolder now." He made a suggestion that the com mission might consider the utility of the farm loan boards as a means of extending short term credits to farm ers, for nine and 12 month periods, but said he would make no detailed recom mendation. All over the country, we find that agricultural and livestock interests feel they need more credit facilities." he said, "and want something to make themselves independent of banks. The farmers' credit horizon la necessarily limited and local. Any man hesitated ahout getting the government in bus iness, and we can't UBe the reserve system for that, because its funds are essentially reserve funds, but 1 con sider there Is a possibility that the farm loan banks might be extended to meet the need. The question needs study." Governor Harding denied that his administration of reserve hank policies had deflated cotton prices. As the cotton surplus began to ap pear, he Bald, I tried to go as tar us I could in my official position to make the situation clear. I wrote a bertha of letters to J. S. Wannamaker, the of ficial head of the American Cotton association, giving him my views as plainly as 1 could.' He put the correspondence befpre the committee.' declaring that he had urged producers to sell at least part of the crop, and lighten the load," and had worked to get export credit machinery established. "The situation called for silence." he said. "Everything humanly possi ble was done by the federal reservr board to help the situation out." He emphasized his present belief that cotton prices Were stabilized, with a short crop in prospect, and i h ' prices could be relied upon completely for all proper credit opet aWnna.

Senator Lodge, chairman of tbe senate foreign re lations committee and Republican lead er of the upper house, experts tn sit in the conference. It would he hard to pass him over, if any member of the senate Is on the commission, and so It may be nssumed that he will be a member. Senator t'nderwnoil Alao. If the Republican leader will be a member so will the Democrat In leader. Mr. I'nderwood of Alabama. Mr. Hard ing will be dependent upon Democrat ic votes tn p tt f through any treaty which may arise from the conference. As he has admitted that an association of nations might spring from It, It would he good politics to place the. Democratic senate leader In the om mlsslon. It may be assumed that Ihe names of three American delegates are as good as known Secretary Htrghea. Sen ator Iodge and Senator I'nderwood. Assuming a commission of five mem bers, the other two members are doubt ful. Secretary Hoover may be a mem ber. He haa knowledge of the Orient. Hla specially Is forcing irade and the conference will have largely to do with foreign trade. His appointment, more over, would doubtless he highly agree able to Secretary Hughes, with whom ne has co-operated fully. If Mr. Hoov er Is not appointed Rllhu Root may he. Mr. Harding Is known to he desirous of using the services of Mr. Root In International affairs If two Demo crats are appointed Ihe second one may be Norman Da via. formerly under aec retary of atate: John W. Davis, form erly ambassador to Oreat Britain, or Wflitam J. Hryan. In the conference Mr. Llovd fleorgn Karon Chlnda, Mr. Koo and C. T Wang and Rrltish colonial premiers General Smuts and Mr. Hughes will probably be the only member who took part In the l'arls peace confer ence. Administrations have changed everywhere except In Oreat Britain and some of the Rrltlah possessions and the changes hava removed the famous figures of Tarls !r "nig Three." It will he difficult to find In tha coming conference any big three equal to the big three at Parla. The hla- thr. countries this time will he the United mutes. Kngland and Japan Instead of the I nited States. Kngland and France Of the original big three at Paris Lloyd George. Wllaon and Clamenceau Lloyd George remains If he should stay In Washington throughout the conference. Japan has no on to offer comparable In force and authority to lemenceau. the dominant figur of the I'arts conference. Secretary Hughe, ., representing this country will Inevitably he a lead ing figure of the conference, but he Is not a President as Wllaon wa nor a premier as cimenoeau waa nor haa he the authority of personal pr.stlg. that , had at Pari, nor the for., of will Ihat was Clemenreau'a.
