BRITISH PRESS IS PLAIN IN SPEECH Say Birkenhead Has Long Been Regarded as National Nuisance and Has Now Be come International Danger (By Uie Associated Press. 1 London, Aug. .27. —The Earl of Birk enhead has received little sympathy from the British press for the position in which he finds himself as a result of the first address of his American tour deliv ered last Friday evening before the In stitute of Polities at Williamstowni In fact, the press tends to heap coals of tire made by Henry Breckeuridge, assistant secretary of war under -President Wil son, who criticized the Earl for his re marks about Mr. Wifson. The Morning Post asserts that “the effect of Birkenli-ad'.s m|judiciotb) de mark is to confirm the isolationists in the wisdom of their policy of turning their backs on Europe." . An editorial headed “L'Enfant Terri ble Abroad,” the Daily News says that the British do not like the American tariff laws, but would welcome an al most prohibitive tariff on the importation of former members of British cabinets, and rigid customs examinations of -the contents of their lecture tour portfolios. The Westminster Gazette hopes that undue importance will not be attached to Birkenhead's words, asserting that there are* few politicians in Great Brit.ain to day who now speak so exclusively for themselves as does Birkenhead. The Westminster Gazette points out the unfairness of arguing that Woodrrtw Wilson is the agent of post-war condi tions. The Daily Herald, the labor newspa per. offers an apology for the ex-chancel lor. saying "he has long been regarded as a national nuisance and has now be come an international danger."

POSSIBLE, HE SAYS, TO AVERT STRIKE He Will Talk to Each Side Separately First and Then Will Call Another Joint Conference. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 27 (By the As sociated Press).—Governor Piuchot, o r Pennsylvania, assemebled the leaders of each side in the anthracite controversy around his office table today and told them bluntly that the proposed, suspen sion of mining September Ist could not be allotfed. "The thing is possible," he said in de claring the purpose to stop hastiness. "It must be done.” Impressively the men gathered around his council table, and listened to his words. They were Sanmei I). YVarrin er, A. B. TV. W. Englis and W. J. Richards, of* the operators policy committee; and Philip Murray, vice president, and (’. J. Golden, Rjnaldo Ca pellini and Thos. K. Kennedy, district presidents of the United Mine Workers, whose orders are out for closing down the mines September Ist. There was scarcely a sound to inter rupt Ibe Governor as he read his ad dress. "In my oplYion the wisest thing I can do is to deal separately with each side," he said, “to learn the basis for demands as fully as I can. I request you to give me these interviews."

KU KLUX KLAN PARADE ENDS IN BLOODY RIOT Klansmen and Crowds Clash in Streets. —A Kiansman is Killled. Pittsburgh. Aug. 25.—-A force of deputy sheriffs was rushed to Carnegie, suburb, late tonight when a crowd of about 500 person blocked a street and stopped a parade of KuKlux klansmen. The parade was led by an automobile but the klansmen on foot were reported to have extended back more than a mile. After a momentary pause the parn ders broke through the croft'd and con tinued through the town singing "On ward, Christian Soldiers.” A number of shots were fired and one man. dressed in white robes, is knojhi to have been killed. He died in a physician’s office, shot through the head. Many persons were injured in the fighting which still was in progress more than an hour after the first out break. The force of deputy sheriffs was reinforced by n'l available uniformed Pittsburgh policemen and • Aljenglieny county detectives who were given the right of way on city streets as they, sped in automobiles to Carnegie, six miles away., . The streets of Carnegie are jammed with people shouting n*nd yelling. Every few moments the sharp crack of a pistol sounds above tbe uproar. Car after car filled with heavily armed officers' passed newspapermen speeding to the scene of the battel. The klansmen bad been gathering all afteauoon and evening for what is understood to have been a state meeting on a hill side overlooking, Carnegie- Early iu the evening their lenders were told, police said, that a parade through Carnegie would not be permitted- About 11 o’clock, however, the [Mirnde was seeu to appear over the hill and start towards the town. In order to en ter it the klansmen had to cross the Glendale bridge, which spanned a small creek. A crowd gathered nt once at the bridge and automobiles were run on it and stopped, effectively blocking the structure. When the automobile lending the parade reached the bridge it stopped. The kkinsmen immediately made no at tempt to proceed and paid no attention to the cries to lower the American flag which headed the parade. Neither did they make auy move to turn buck. After the impasse bad existed for per haps an hour, the leaders of the march ers seized an opportune moment' and made a wild dash forward. The auto? mobiles were rolled off the. bridge aud the crowd stationed at the one end swept (backwards’. The .parade continued for two blocks with only insolated instances of bricks and stones being hurled at the march ers. Then the opposing crowd seeming to have eolleced their forces, rushed for ward. Bedlam at once broke loose. All kinds of missiles were hurled through the air and tiring commenced. One white robed man was seen to fall. He was picked up and carried into a doc tor’i office where he died. AY, AUGUST 27, 1923. General Election Being Held in the Irish Free State Today (By the Amndatra rrcu.i, ' Dublin.
