Va., Dec. 16.—The fourteenth annual con vention of Governors ended today with a spirited discussion of the Ku Klux Klan. Many of the executives then pre pared to leave for Washington to ac cept President Harding's invitation to discuss prohibition enforcement with hhn at luncheon Monday. An executive committee consisting of Governors Cox, of Massachusetts; Hardee, of Florida, and McCray, of Indiana, was elected. Former Governor Townsend, of Del aware, was re-elected treasurer, and Miles C. Riley, of Madison, Wis., sec retary. Governor McCray invited the Governors to confer next year in In diana, suggesting French Lick Springs Selection of the next meeting place was left to the executive committee. The Ku Klux Klan discussion came after an address in which GScnwr Allen, of Kansas, declared the or ganization was doomed to die and ex- ] pressed hope that the attempt of the attorney general of Kansas to oust the Klan from that State on the ground that it was operating without a charter would be successful. K Ian’s Reaction to Disorder. In response to a decision by Governor Allen of incidents which he argued supported his assertion that the Klan was flouting the law, Gov ernor Morrison, of North Carolina, said that although the organization aroused religious feeling, he did not believe it was responsible for vio lence in his State. He asked Gover nor Allen whether the Klan ever had endorsed manifestations of lawless ness or had done anything to stop them. Governor Allen replied that every member of the organization believed he was doing noble work. When law lessness developed, he said, the Klan would disavow it and then £ive $50 to a "loose-mouther preacher who would thank God for the Klan.” H« said he was ashamed that the Boy Scouts in St. Louis had not rejected a gift of $15,000 from the Klan, so that “they could claim 100 per cent Americanization." Governor Olcott, of Oregon, asked if Kansas had sent troops to suppress the Klan during the railroad strike. Mr. Allen replied that he was ready to do so, but that such action did not become necessary. Governor Olcott then asked what means Governor Allen thought would 'Che retail price of apples in the 0(^1 market remains at forty cents tfozen and some of the choicest arietics occasionally retail at six- y cents a dozen which is high cou riering the prices that prevail in she northern markets.

A. Winburn, of tho Central of Georgia Railway, announces the publication of a pamphlet setting forth tho experiences of Georgia and Alabama farmers in fighting the boll weevil. The pamphlet describes, with out attempting to say which method is best, or without recommending one plan above another, facts and figures as to the plans of combating the weev il. Mr. Winburn says that the best weapons in the fight against the wee vil are hard work and common sense, ■which the farmer himself must sup ply, but that the railroad is Wady to co-operate by furnishing authentic information that the farmer may ap- 1 ply or adapt. This is a part of the program of the Agricultural Depart ment of the Central of Georgia Rail way which since 1911 has been making a study of practical agriculture and placing the result of its investiga tions gt the disposal of the farmers in this territory. The statement aeknoweldges that the success of the department’s ef forts has been due to the fine co-op eration qf the farmers in Georgia and Alabama and says there is a gratify ing absence of hostility between ag riculture and transportation.
