SOLIERS PASS THROUGH EL PASO Train Carrying Troops Pass ed Through City Early This Morning—Train Was l Given Heavy Guard. <Bj the Associated Prcm.) Washington, D. C\. Jan, 21.—The rebel blockade of tse port of Tampico has been Itostponed until the eml of the present month Admiral Magruder reported to the' Navy Department today on his arrival off that port, aboard his flagship, the cruis ers Richmond. In announcing receipt of this message the State Department said Admiral Ma gruder had not indicated the source of his information. The message served,, how ever, to relieve the tension in Washington 1 in connection with relation to the Tam-' pico situation. The Richmond will remain off Tampi co sos the present. No orders have been sent to the. cruiser Omaha and the six destroyers accompanying her to Vera Cruz, but some of them will join the Richmond at Tampico. Officials are unwilling to comment on the significance of the word “postpone” in Admiral Magnider's message. It is evident, however, that they are hopeful that the blockade problem will not be re vived. „ Mexicans Pass Through tel Pass. El Paso. Texas, Jan. 21.—A special train carrying approximately 1,500 Mexi can federal troops passed through El Paso at 0:45 a. ui. today and was imme diately routed to Juarez. Special guards of U. S. troops and El Paso police accompanied the train through the lower l»rt of the city. The troops came from Western Mexico vi* Naco, Arizona, and will be sent to the interior of Mexico. EIGHT FIGHTING SHIPS ARE ORDERED TO VERA CRUZ Peaceful Trade Must Not KlVMlM'iil' of Mexican Rebel Chief. Washington, .Tab. 11).—Eight fighting ships under the American flag have been ordered mobilized off Vera Cruz, Mexico, as a grim reminder to Mexican rebel leaders that peaceful American commerce must not be made the p.a.v thing of Mexican politics. Orders were flashed southward today detaching the fast light cruiser Omaha aud six destroyers from the battlebeets mobilized in Panama canal waters for winter maneuvers. Th**y were directed to join the scouting beet flagship Rich mond off Vera Gruz. The repair ship Prometheus was included in the order, the Richmond, flying the flag of Rear Admirall Magruder, commanding the scouting fleet was due at Vera Cruz to day. Announcement of the orders to the Omaha and the destroyers was made both by the state department and by Secretary Denby. No formal explana tion was added by Mr. Denby to the terse statement that the ships were al ready moving toward Vera Cruz. It was learned, however, that further movements of the vessels would depend upon the action of rebel craft seeking to blockade Tampico. If American mr chant vessels are denied free passage into and out of that harbor, there can be no doubt that the Washington gov ernment is prepared to take forceful measures to clear the path for them- Assembly of the fighting ships off Vera Cruz is viewed as a naval de monstration designed to impress Mexi can insurrectionist leaders with the idea that less grim warnings already sent them* against interference with Ameri can shipping are' not to be regarded lightly. It is also evident, however, that the Washington administration still hopes that illustration of these warning with the actual sight of the dul’.-hued flighting craft riding off the rebel capi tal will be sufficient to prevent evert acts against American commercial ships at Tampico.

GRADY ADMITS CONNECTION WITH KU KLUX KLAN Superior Court Has Acted as Grand Dragon For North Carolina Since September. 1922. Raleigh, .Tan. 20.—Superior Court Judge Henry A. Grady pushed aside the secrecy of the robe and mask and catne out into the open ns the ‘‘Known head and reiwn ized of the Ku Klux K'alt in North Carolina in a 2,- 000 word statement issued here tonight, j He offered a loyal defense of the organi zation and establish his own relation ship with it as one ,t»be sustained r»- , .rardlttss ot J im. wtswifieo. . It had been reported hereabouts for a week that Judge Brady was prepar , ing a statement, but hjs bold champiou • ship of the kl#n and his dramatic p>edge of allegiance to it is the grand dragon of North Carolina were hardly expect ed. The statement was issued freely and “largely in response to a widespread de mand from among t'”' more than 30.000 klansmen of the state who wished for ] the organization a kno#u head and recognized spokesman,” Judge Grady said: While defending the Klan, the grand dragon devoted considerab’e of his state ment to n defense of himself in sitting upon the superior court bench white sit ting upon the throne of the invisible empire. The oath of the Klan Contains nothing to conflict with his oath of of fice. he said. With reference to his own attitude should a member of the K’an appear before him for trial, he avowed: “I would deal with such a man ex actly as I would a Mason or a Pres byterian or a democrat, for I am a Mlnson, Presbyteria nnd a democrat. It might be that I would be influenced to give him a greater degree of punish ment because of the fact that as a Klansman he is under a double obliga tion not to violate the law.” 1 Judge Grady became grand dragon of the realm of North Carolina in Septem • ter, 1922, his statement affirmed. Rath ' er than entertain any intention of re ; linquishing that post or withdrawing 1 from the Klan, the judge’s statement ' emphasized that he is prepared to stick to the organization whatever the cost may be.
