The News and Observer Bureau, 603 District National Bank Bldg., By EDWARD E. BRITTON. (By Special Xeascd Wire.) . Washington. Oct. 13. Though claim in. that with the aid of Democratic votes thev have ratification sewed up tha Republicans are now getting to the point wnere iney are iuuhhuk in ue if thev can nut across the sen arate peace treaty "made in Berlin" which they are backing with ratifi cation resolutions. That it will bo a close vote to get the necessary two-thirds o the Senate to (vote "aye'' is the opinion in manv (quarters at this time. That it will be i necessary to get a good chunk of Dcm ocratic, votes is certain, for the full 'Republican vote is' 80, and there is a defection of possibly three votes from that, reducing the Hepublican vote to 57. The threo Republicans regarded as against the ratification are Senators Borah, Norris and Ladd. In this list (Senator Borah's opposition is certain. Senator Norris will vote against the resolution if here, but he in at his home sick. Senator tadd is in the uncertain list, but the general idea is that he will vote with Senator Borah against ratification. Need Seven Democratic Votes. With the full ro'iirite voting it will be necessary to have 64 -votes for ratification, and with 57 Republicans there is the need for seven Demo cratic votes. The Republicans are claiming that they will have twice as many, H Democrats, but there is growing doubt as to that. N'-vit'T Walsh, of Montana, who lias been lift ed by the Republicans as for ratifi cation, yesterday made a strong speech against it, sayingcthat on further study of tha treaty and the ratifying resn ltition, he hag decided to vote against "ratification. And Senator Hitchenck, tho leader in the fight for tha ratifica tion of the Versailles treaty, once listed as for ratification of the new treaty, is now en the uncertain lint, it being understood that now he is rather inclined to vote against it. As arguments are advanced it is i . .-, ) tbnt there will be other Democrats in the "no" vole column agni:i.-t the proposition to vote for national dis honor, fo rthe "ignominious postscript" that ia proposed by , Republicans as an end to a conflict in which thousands of American lives were given to obtain a peace based on the highest terms of lienor. Tar Heel Senator Oppose. The votes of the two Senators from North Carolina will be cast against the ratification of the treaty as the matter stands today. Senator Overman says that he is opposed to a separate peace treaty and to the terms of the treatv which has now been negotiated with Germany, and that he will vote against ratification. Senator Simmons says that with the time he has been able to give to the investigation of the terms of the treatv and the terms of the ratification resolution, tn i t' c so largely engaged in the matters of the tax bill and the tariff bill, he finds the treaty so bad that he will vote agninst'it, unless he finds that be is radically mistaken in the cei 'ru ti n Which he places upon its terms. Its iaiquitiess not exposed till the Democrats following the lead of Sena tor Simmons pointed out facts that showed tho tax bill propose, I by he Republicans to be a measure that won' I hand gifts to the rich taken from the earnings of the poor, the Republicans are now complaining of delav in pass Itig the measure as being duo to the Democrats. The truth is that the de lay has been caused by dissension and squabbling in Republican ranks, for with the big majority that party has in the Senate, the Republicans: bad tho power to pass their measure long sgo but for their own bickerings. That the Democrals-have sought to enlighten the country and take care of the average citizen is because thoj- were standing by Democratic principles. Now Sena tor Penrose announces "it Is my belief that we can pass the hillwith the Re publican voto without concessions or alignment with the minority which has shown a decidedly partisan spirit," a confession of Republican dissension and delay. Some Illuminating Statement There are illuminating statements concerning this matter given by Ueorg? Rothwell Brown, special and trusted writer of the "Court Chronicle," the Washington Tost, who this morning says among other things concerning Republican delay: "It has required a full public ex posure, in the Senate itaelf, of the de plorable inaction within the dominant party in the Senate to bring leaders to the determination reached yesterdsv. ''Republicans are finding in their enr respondence with the country these tast few days a note of increasing diati faction and this is also having its ef feet." . "It is.

Federal Road Bureau Will Conduct Experiments Here North Carolina Selected for Making Researches in Value of Various Types of Roads; C. M. McDonald, Chief of Bureau of Public Roads, Enthusiastic Over Development of Road Building in State; Experiments First of Their Kind. North Carolina has been selected as the State in which the Federal Gov ernment will begin experiment and re search that, in the words of C. M. Mc Donald, Chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, "will take the guess work out of road building." The experiments will be conducted with the co-operation of the State Highway Commission, and will extend over a period of more than a year. Fixing the service value of every type of roads will be undertaken in making tho study of roads in tho tate, the determination of tho exact point where paved roads should replace other types, and the service that should be expected of all types of rotd under primer maintenance. Mr. McDonald was in Raleigh yesterday in conference with Highway Commissioner Frank Page, and (State Highway Engineer t'pham. Remove Goes Work. '"All road work has been more or less gma work," said Mr. McDonald, discussing the proposed experiments. "We have never known just what serv ice we ought to get out of any type of road, because no study has over beeu made of the subject. We have built paved roads where they were not needed, and have relied on soil roads where the traffic demanded .paved roads. We want to know definitely fttid scientifically what to expect of a road when we build it, and we want to know what type of road to build. Sand clay roads will be studied chiefly. Experiments will be conduct ed upon roads that have been built at a known cost. Careful census of the traffic carried will be kept, and of the tyje of traffic. The road will be main tained, and careful records kept of the cost of keeping the road in serviceable condition. When the cost of mainten ance under normal traffic mounts to an unreasonable figure, the experiment will have proved the necessity of building a more permaiienf,fype of road. With that information in band road officials in every State, in the l'n:ou EXPECT 1 nun PEOPLE FOR FAIR Formal Program of State's An nual Exposition Is Made Public An attendanct of loO.OOO is expected for the Great State Fair which opens Tuesday, October IS when Governor Cameron Morrison, presented by Mrs, George W. Vanderbilt, president of the Fair, will deliver the annual address. The formal .program of the Fair was announced yesterday, featuring num erous free attractions, rates and exhib its. A parade Tuesday headed bv mounted police and the band of the First N. C Infantry, will conduct Governor Mor rison and State Fair officials to tho grounds. The Raleigh Rotary Club and the Kiwinis Club will co operate in the opening events. One of the features of the Fair will lie an r.ld tune, balloon ascension the sort that thrilled the thousands in the days before the airplane became too coirmon to create much excitement. GUILTY OF FORGING NAtyE OF ROOSEVELT Jury Returns Verdict In Case of Mrs. Emma E. Burkett at New York New York. Oct. 13 - Mrs. Emma R. ir.irkVr" of irrisdale, Ind., t..aywss to.md ruiHy by a jury in general ses sions court of forging the name of former .'resident Theodore Roosevelt to a note for Oy.J'w. The jury, wbifh deliberated four and one-half hours, recommended her to the extreme elemesry of the court. J edge Alfred J. Taller annoonrcd be weal impost , seateaca October 22-J will have accurate information for their guidance in determining the types of road to be built. They will know whether a and clay road will servo their needs, or whether traffic will make a pav.d road more economical. The experiment will be particularly valuable to the State, since it will be based on local conditions. The phenomenal progress of road building in North Carolina and tho high excellence of tho highway organi sation in the State are responsible for the selection of this State as the place for the experiments, Mr. McDonald said. Nowhere has he found a more effective force of highway builders than in Ntirtli Carolina. He paid high tribute to the work of Commissioner Pate, and to his organization generally. State Gets More Money. Noryt Carolina will eontinae to par ticipate In Federal aid to road build ing, next year to the extent of about a million and three-quarter dollars, bringing tho total expenditure for roads in the State to about 16 million dol lars, according to the bureau chief. The money will be expended on the same basis as former federal appropriations to road funds. i'he experimental work for the bu reau will be dono under the direction of C. L, Spoon, an experienced highway engineer who has already done exten sive work in North Carolina. Mr. Page '11 detail engineers from the mainten ance and testing departments of his organization to co-operate with the bu reuu in its work. It is expected that the .researches will begin within the next few weeks. Mr. McDonald, Commissioner Page and Engineer Upham went to Chapel Hill yesterday afternoon where they in spected the Chapel Hill Durham road, which has been built ululcr Federal aid. The road is nenring completion, and is pronounced by Mr. McDonald to be one of the finest pieces of asphalt paving in the country. The road will bo opened fur service within tho next few weeks. F Masked Man Secures Nine Thousand Dollars From Winston-Salem Bank Winston Salem, Oct. 1.1. A tall, masked man, with a pistol in each hand. entered the Southside branch of the Farmers' Hank and Trust Company about 8 o'clock- this morning and forced Assistant Cashier W. H. 8now, who had gone in the bank early to do some work on his books, into the vault and made him get down on the floor. It was per haps the boldest robbery ever commit ted in this section. Snow says that while he was being forced into the vault he heard a voice at the rear doer, from which the marked man, entered, call to his assistant, "Hurry up.'' The bank officials report that their loss is 9,02.1, though it is covered by burglar insurance. Snow, in relating his story of the hold up, stated that he played for time in opening the vsult door, failing twice to find the combination. "If you fail to open that door next time, I will blow your brains out," proclaimed the visi tor. With this demand ringing in his ears. Snow opened up. "Where is Tour gold!" ssked the robber. ''We have none here,'' was Snow's reply. Pointing to a sack containing silver, the stranger demanded this, which wts handed t him. He dropped the bag and the si! ver ran all over (he floor. Pointing to another sack containing the thousands in currency, the masked man called for this and rushed out, pushin. the dmir snot behind htm". TTio police and sheriff were notified of the robbery as soon as Assistant Cashier Snow eould get out of the bank, fhe robbers were tracked to the Sou'l. bound railroid and it is believed that they went down a decn rm'uiik- rt and followed the railroad truck'. at least for some distance. There wa ORCE CASHIER TO HAND OVER MONEY (Continued r rr) , RAILVAYS MAY CUT I Plan To Meet Decreases In Wages With Reductions In Freight Rates Chicago. Oct. 13. A proposal to meet all- future reductions in the wages of railroad employes with corresponding derreasss in railroad freight rates is to be presented to the Association of Railway Executives at its meeting here tomorrow, it was announced tonight. The proposition is to be submitted by a specinl committee of railroad offl cialsT-'which last week conferred with government officials at Washington, was stated. This announcement was made by railroad official here for the conference He stated that the committee had pre pared a report embodying the plan Give Pablle Benefit. The proposition to pass all future decreases in operating costs along to the public, it was stated, was in line with the policy of the railroads to make freight rate reductions and at the same time allow the railroads to operate at a jiesjfit. Freight rate reductions are impossible so long as operating ensts remain unchanged, this official asserted. The railroads emerged from the war facing a huge deficit, he asserted. Tho six ner cent nrofit provided for bv ffiSTransportatinn Act failed to bring any material relief because of the de crease in business and had the Railroad Labor Hoard not authorized a reduction of wages effective July , many rail rends would have been bankrupt be fore the end of the year, he said. Desire Lower Rates. Railroad sxecutives, according to the official, have realized the dosirn bility of a reduction in freight rates because of the decrease in the prices of other commodities. They have, however, been unable to effect such reductions, he said, because of the fixed operating costs, this apply Ing to the arbitrary fixing of wages and to the limitation placed on the number of .hours employes can work and the amount of work that can be done. To effect a reduction of freight rates and at the same tune maintain present rovonucs for the railroads, the plan announced tonight was formulat ed. Incresaed business, brought about by lower freight rates, is expected to provide the increased revenue nec essary for the railroads to operate at a fair profit, it was stated. lirothcrhooda Meeting. Executives of the conductors, engi neers and firemen s brotherhoods met behind closed doors again today In a continuation of conferences to de termine what action shali be taken on the membership vote favoring a strike. Today's discussion, it was said, hing ed on whether the vote formally should be eomniuniratcd to the rai'road offi cals tomorrow. According to brother- hooa nenrts, it appearea likely that no action calling for a wnlkeut Would be taken immediately. PONY BLIMP WRECKED WHEN ITS ENGINE FAILS Hampton, Va., Oct.

RATES i FREIGH Hearing Before House Commit tee Adjourned Until Today As a Result SIMMONS CONTINUES TO , DENOUNCE MANY CHARGES Head of Ku Eux Elan Declarer He Will Destroy Organization T It Is Unworthy; Physica' Collapse Comes After Day Filled With Several Dramatic Incidents Washington, Oct. 13. Closing an all day defense of the Ku Klui Klan, Wil liam J. Simmons, its Imperial Wiiard, toppled over in a chair today while the chairman of a House committee in vestigating the order was attempting to stop the applause which broke before the erowd knew the Wizard had col lapsed. Friends of Mr. Simmons rushed to his side and supplied stimulants, but as it was evident that he was in no condi tion to continue the examination, the hearing, filled with many dramatic inci dents during the day, was adourned un til tomorrow. Physicians later reported that Mr. Simmons' condition was not serious. Retnrns In Afternoon. Bundled up about tho chest, Simmons returned to the aftornoon session un steady of feet, his voice hoarse, but apparently eager to denounce what he characterized as outrageous charges against the organization hs founded in Georgia five years ago. A solemn stillness prevailed at times' while the Wizard, holding aloft the ritnal of the Khan, read parts of the oath taken by Klansmen. And then in husky tones he told the committee that while Julius Caesar had his Drutus and Washington his Benedict Arnold, he, too as Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux eould enter that fellowship because he had suffered from the treasonable con duct of those within. -"If this organization Is unworthy, then let me know and I will destroy It, he exclaimed, "but if it is not, then let it stand." Collapses In Chair. Turning to tho crowd, Simmons de clared he wanted to ' call upon the Father to forgive those who had perse cuted the Klan,'' and as the words left his lips he tumbled into ft heap. The first dramatic incident of the day was tho sudden appearance of Senator Thomss E. Watson, of Georgia, who edg ing his way through the crowd, stepped up and seized the Wizard by the hand. Whispering something, he turned and sat down, but a moment later he was on his feet demandin gthe right to question the witness in "tho interest of fair play." Chairman Campbell broke In to say that the witness was getting that, and that it was not in line with regular pro redure to peTmit questions by outsid ers. Wstson Ask Questions. Senator Watson insisted that he had the right, first announcing, however, that he was not a Klansman, although in sympathy with iU aims, and the chairman cut through the colloquy by directing the Senator to proceed. The Konntor merely asked the Wizard if he knew of the big salaries being voted by Congress for Shipping Hoard law ers, reaching as high as $3.VW0, which the people had to pay. With that Mr Watson left. Through the testimony of Mr. Sim mons, the committee learned that the totai membership of tho Klan, heralded as having passed the half million mark, actually was around 9ikio. The witness declared that its growth East and West had beeA greater than in the South, but his illness prevented questioning de signed to bring out facts bearing on some of the present strongholds of the organization. Asked if ho had not claimed '"a million membership,? Mr. Simmons smilingly replied he might have done so, but that be was speaking generally, not by the card. Takes 'P Revenue Representative Garrett, Iemorrat,Ten nessec, took the witness in hand to find out, something about its revenues nad profits, asking if membership fees had been listed ns donations rather than fees to prevent collection of Federal corporation taxes. Siinjnnns rtfybed thero was never a thought of fhaf de daring that when the tax law first be came effective he went to the revenue office at Atlanta and was informed that the Klan did not come under the law. If it does it is not my fault," the Wizard said, "and if it is shown we sre liable, we stand ready to meet our obligations." IVnying huge profits from the sale of robes, tlio witness declared that less than thirtv per rent of fhe Klansmen owned regalia. ''Our rolwi are not worn for th pur pose of terrorizing people, ' he shouted, they are as innocent as the breath of sn sngel." As To Texas C1ah. The witness was pressed by Chairman .mplnil for an explanation of the re cent clash between a sheriff and march- ng Klansmen near Waco, Texas, and Uule he replied that his information was based largely upon newspaper re ports, he added that the parade had been authorized by the mayor, and that the sheriff, in attempting to stop it. seemed under the influence of liquor." Simmons said he had called for sn ofib ial report, but that it bad not been forthcoming.

NEW RECORDS SET UP DURING SERIES Receipts Nearly a Million Dol lars and Attendance Over Quarter Million New York, Oc . 13. (By the Associa ted Press.) The 1921 World's Series, which ended today, set new financial and attendance reeords. The totsl re ceipt for the eight games were $900, 233, contributed by 26976 spectators. This was 0177,818 more than the best previous gate collection during the 191!) series between Cincinnati snd Chicago. The attendance in the series just closed was also 1S,C73 greater than the eight gatherings which witnessed the memor able Giants Boston American play in 1912. As a result of the enormous gate le coipts, all those who participate in the sharing of the funds will receive more than any of their predecessors in simi lar positions. Tho tiiant players, as winners, collect tsl per cent of 75 per cent of the players' share of receipts for the first five games, amounting to iKil, ."., which, divided among iiiiiid 2'i eligible men, gives approximately $o,--05 to each. Under the plan nf dis tributing IS per cent among the -ciub piayvra uiiisinng second snd third in both major leagues, the Cleveland Americans and the Pittsburg Nationals will divide H",,87S.34 equally, ; n. the the two St. I.ouis teams, sa th t idace clubs, share i,..J.". The Yankees' forty per cent share .is losers amounted to I'C.rofi.G'i m.j un der the same system of Jivimou wi.l give the players of the defestcd club about 03,510 each. The magnates also come in for a rc- ord diviao n of the gate monies. The Advisory Hoard, which succeeded the .National Commission in tho reorgani zation of professional baseball, will take as its 15 per cent share t I.i5,0.',4 95. The club owners' share will amount to $17.- .82. The owners of the t-.vo local clubs, boKcver, are not permitted to retain and divido equally the close to a half million dollars which appear at f.rjt sight to' be their. The rules governing th- financial affairs of the World Series specifically provide that M per ernt of each club's share for the first seven games shall be paid into4tir respec tive league treasuries and fnat ii case aa eighth game is necessary, as was the case today, then 75 per cent of the clubs share of receipts for that sm must go to the league trauries.

The Ameri can League champions died fighting hard in a classic twirl ing duel between their pitching ace, Waite Hoyt, and Art Nehf, the Giants star left hander.

A Different Story Thi year, wilh a National League entrant that had hown Its high class by coining from behind late H the pen mint race and beating the Pittsburg J'irates to the flag, the World's Beries told a difforent story. Off to a poor start through their loss jf the first two games of the series, the Giants gamely came' back, 'speedily evened up tho series, snd then, with but a slight letup while getting their second wind, rounded inm thn .tr..t,.k with a rush and pushed throngh with three straight victories to their final triumph.
