New York, Oct. 9.—The contest for
.the control of the reorganization of
the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad
took a new turn yesterday when the
Richard Sutro committee, organized
in the interest of the security holders,
of the road’s first and refunding 5 per
cent, bonds to deposit them with the
committee as well as certificates of
deposit for securties that have been
deposited previously with either the
Perkins or Hammond committees,
The Missouri Pacific and Western
Pacific Railroads, which connect with
the Denver and Rio Grande are both
seeking control of the reorganization
of the road, Mr. Sutro said, without re
gard for the interests of the security
holders.
Samuel Untermyers, counsel for the
Sutro committee, has advised the com
mittee to insist upon the Denver and
Rio Grande defaulting on the next
payment of the road's consolidated
bonds in order that the sale of a large
block of Utah Fuel Company stock
held by the road may be forced and
the proceeds used to reduce prior
Uens on the road in the interests of
tile refunding and adjustment bond
holders. He also advised the committee
to apply to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for a public hearing and
investigation of the entire Denver and
Rio Grande. Western Pacific and Mis-
Atlanta, Ga., Oct| 6.—Denial that
Edward Young Clarke, imperial wiz
ard protem of the Ku Klux Klan, had
used the mails to effect a scheme to
defraud, for which Clarke was indict
ed in the federal court late yesterday,
was contained in a statement of the
Imperial Kloncilium, ruling body
the Klau, made public here today.
Clarke was released under a five
hundred dollar bond.
“The charges made against Mr.
Clarke on which the Indictment was
found were presented by the same
crowd of former employes, who were
discharged from the organization,
who have filed one lawsuit after an
other ever since they were removed
from the payrolls,’* said the state
ment, which was signed by W. J. Sira
mons, imperial wizard, and other mem
bers of the Kfoitcilium.
Clarke on Wednesday of this week,
announced his resignation as imperi
al wizard pro tempore, effective Nov
ember 19th.
In a statement, Clarke declared the
indictment wos the result of "anoth
er effort on the part of enemies of the
Klan to hurt the Klan by discrediting
me;” that if the grand jury had been
in possession of the ’real facts’ no in
dictment would have been returned.”
The indictment charges that Clarke
collected money from certain mem
bers and officers of the Klan on the
pretense that the funds were to bo
used to pay premiums to surety com
panies furnishing bonds to these
Klansmen, that the sums were in ex
cess of the amount required and were
converted to hiB personal use and
benefit.
