NEW ORLEANS COTTON'
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 27.—The

healthier feeling. Liverpool was bet
ter than due, owing to a belief that
the Lancashire lockout will not ma

points down from the previous close,
was the renewed fear of the Lan

THE AILANIA J
GRAIN
j i ~~i
i CHICAGO ( Wednesday), Feb. 27.—-" heat |
1 exhibited .a stubborn tone today . There was [
a dip in opening prices owing to selling by j
a eash house and the lack of demand. Corn !
bulls supported the market on the dip, and a I
little later there was enough commission
house buying to cause a rally. Light offer- j
ings also wore a factor in the upturn. Crom
well estimated farm reserves of wheat on ,
March 1 at 129,000,000 bushels, compared ,
with 155,000,001) bushels last, year, and
country null and elevator stocks at 80,000.-
0(10 bushels, against 1)1,WO,000 bushels last ,
year. These figures caused some buy ing, j
There also was some buying based on crop
deterioration through freezing ami thawing.
Export demand was slow. German biii«
were in the market, but they were 2 to ■>
cents out of line.
Milling demand for wheat was quiet,.

offerings. The bulge brought out profit
taking, and prices reacted under this pres
sure and at one time were under iast night s

and forced another rally. Country offered
a little more corn to arrive, but on the
whole offerings were light. Consignment

’3.BK HOTEL
M IT MEETING
of ma M
j WAUKESHA, Wis., Bob. 27.
■ While about 3,000 persons siormed
I outside the Commercial hotel last
.night, an attempted Kn Klux Klan
i meeting was broken up inside the
hotel, which is in the heart of the
I business district. Kights were put
lout, windows smashed and doois
broken; the cafeteria, in which the
| meeting was attempted wrecked,
land some of its furniture damaged.
The meeting was the result of
about two weeks’ effort to organize
a. klan unit here and the scheduled
speakers were said to have been of
national prominence.
When the klan speaker arose and
announced that a prayer would open
Hie meeting he was greeted with
jeers and howls. Before he was able
to make himself heard, a. man jump
ed on a. table in the center of the
cafeteria and waved an automatic
pistol.
The yells apparently were a sig
nal to persons waiting outside, for
about, twelve pushed their way
through the broken door of the ho
tel and with drawn revolvers an
nounced: “The meeting is off.”
I At this juncture, the lights went
out, the wires having been cut. and
the three-story hotel was thrown
into darkness.
A concerted rush was made to
ward the klan speakers and organ
izers. Sympathizers shielded them
and tn the jumble succeeded in get
ting them out through a side door
and up to the second floor. There
they remained for abcH.it two boms
until they were rescued by men
called from Milwaukee, who arrived
in two automobiles, headed by Wil
liam Weiseman, grand kleagle of
the klan in Wisconsin.
The men rescued were reported to
have been Wayne Wheeling', klan
organizer from Ohio, a preaches'
from Ohio, who refused to give his
name, but was scheduled as the
principal speaker, and a klansman
from Texas, who refused to desig
nate himself further than by re
marking that he might be called
“Tex.”
A crowd of about 40 or 50 Ital
ians, who had disappeared an hour
or two before and were believed to
have dispersed, rushed out from a
building a few yards away as the.
klansmen entered the waiting cars
and yelled, “Kill hrm. get him; kill
him!” The police stopped their ad
vance.
When the first disorder began in
the cafeteria, an attack on the roar
’door of the hotel was made. The
doors were broken down and sev
eral men entered, but ttje klansmen
had made their way to' the second
floor. Other groups stormed win
dows of the hotel, breaking the
panes by throwing pieces of ice
through them.
Those in the cafeteria threw dish
es and the rush broke down the
rails at the “help yourself” coun
ters.
As the crowd reached its height
in yelling and shouting, Captain
Harry Welch, who served with the
Thirty-second division of the World
war and is a past commander of
the Waukesha Legton post, was
hoisted upon the shoulders of sev
eral men in the crowd from which
vantage point he made an appeal
to the crowd to disperse.
He pleaded that the crowd no
longer had any object as it had ac
complished what it had assembled
for, namely, to prevent a meeting
of the klan. His words were heed
ed by a large number and while
the crowd did not disperse entire
ly, it quieted down.

MT OF 'GUDES
BY J. C. ROYLE
iLc.ucd Wirt’ Service to The .Tonrn.il.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
NEW YORK. Feb. 26. —The open
ing of the big mill of the Pennsyl- j
vania Sugar company, 17 miles from I
Miami, Fla., is regarded by Ameri- |
can cane growers and beet sugar i
men as a distinct blow at control of i
the America nmarket by refiners
who have always claimed that by
buying from themselves and thus
transferring profits from one pocket
to another, the refiners with Cuban
plantations have been enabled to
dominate the prices of both raw and
refined sugars.
The new Florida plant which be
gan functioning this month and now
is working into steady operation is
the, outlet for a great plantation cov
ering 300,000 acres in the Florida
everglades. The first cane was
planted years ago, but the invest
ment already exceeds $4,000,000. The
significant fact of the initial grind
ing, however, is that it has proven
that a tremendous territory in
Florida, is available for successful
cane culture and that its expansion
will serve still further to relieve the :
United States from dependence on
the Cuban supply.
There were only 378,560,000
pounds of cane sugar produced in
the United St.Ues last year, ur but
little more than half as much as in
19271. The cett sugar crop helped
out, for it was 1.f;8C.169,000 pounds
a, gain of over 400,000,000 pounds
from the previous year, but this
country consumed over ten and a
half billion pounds.
Cuban Crop to Show Gain
Sugar receipts at Cuban ports are
nearly as large as they were last
year. The crop is progressing fav
orably and the weather has been
fine. Nearly all of the 174 mills
which were expected to operate in
1924 are now grinding, and there
seems little doubt that the Cuban
crop will be above that of 1923, al
thougr the increase is not at present
estimated to be excessive. These
are factors which would tend toward
a stabilization of prices, at least
during the early part of this season.
English refiners are not expected
to prove a factor in price increases
for Cuban raws, at least for the
present, since they seem to have
supplied their needs pretty well up
to April. It is undeniable, however,
that Europe will have to look large
ly to Cuba for supplies until the
Java, sugars begin to arrive on the
continent in June.
Later, however, the European
beet sugars will come on the mar
j ket. and there is every indication
j that the yield from that source this ,
i ; year will be heavy. The French I
beet sugar crop now is placed at
450,000 tons, with large contracts
for acreage closed and a big in
crease next year relied on.
U. S. ('onsinnptioii Up
Consumption in this country,
however, is counted on to improve
materially over last season. The
wild flunctuations in sugar prices
last spring had a detrimental effect
on consumption, not only by the
housewife, but in the case of the
manners. Then, too, some of the
fruit crops in various sections suf
fered materially from bad weather ;
in 1923, further diminishing con- ■
sumption of sugar in packing. Can- |
dy manufacturers all over the coun- i
try report a steady and increasing
demand. Soft drink manufacturers
i who use sugar in their products aie
increasing their plants and prepar
ing for a big summer season, and |
preliminary estimates of fruit crops
are encouraging to growers and
canners.
Other factors which intensify the
significance of the success attend
-1 ing the Florida cane operations are
that tlie district is available to wa
ter transportation and that the land
suitable for planting to this crop is
extremely extensive.
The Louisiana cane growers expe
rienced a most satisfactory season in ;
1923. due largely to advantageous ;
marketing methods, and there is ;
reason to believe that this success
will give encouragement for extend- j
ing production.

'rhe constitution *and by-laws of
the newly established “Knights of
'he Mystic Clan” were in process of
formulation Wednesday. following
the assembly here Tuesday of about
200 klansmen and former klansmen.
representing thiiteen states, who, >
after an all-day session, decided to [
organize a now order “to pereptuate
the or ;inal principles of the Ku Klux;
I Klan.” j
i A temporary board of control.
I named at the coin hiding session
'Tuesday night hold a meeting at the
.Piedmont hotel to prepare the consti
tution and by-laws, for submission to
I a later gathering of representatives
|of the new order. The board of con
it rol includes. John R. Jones. Kan-
Lsas City; Henry .1.-Norton, Atlanta.;
IW. 11. Austin. Durham, N. JI.
Tom Kight. Tulsa, Okla.; and E. A.;
I Gray, Eldorado, Col.
John R. Jones was named chair-i
man of the board, and castles of the!
new order were authorized at Kan
sas City, Durham, Milwaukee, Tulsa,
Eldorado, Atlanta and Russell, Ky.
Headquarters of the order will be es-1
tabhshed in Kansas City.
It was agreed that the members I
of tlie Knights Kamelia, the second
: order of the Ku Klux Klan, should
constitute the membership of the
■ Knights of the Mystic Clan;, such
i members will pay no initiation fee.
| Members of the Ku Klux Klan will
I pay an initiation fee of $5 and all
other persons $lO. A certain percent
. ge of the fees will be alloted for
headquarters maintainance and of-I
ficers’ while the major por
tion will be retained by the local ’
castles, it was announced.
Simmons and Evans Hit
Heated debate marked the adop- !
tion of resolutions excoriating Hiram!
W. Evans, imperial wizard of tlie !
lAu Klux Klan, and William Joseph |
Simmons, former emperor of the!
klan. who. jt was charged, “sold out
to the# klan” for $146,500 and “left '
the Knights Kamelia out in the |
cold.”
Colonel Simmons recently accepted ]
$146,500 from the Kn Klux Klan, iu
consiieration of which he resigned
as a klansman and as emperor, also
agreeing not to engage in or affiliate
with an organization which would
■ interfere with or hamper the activi- !
ties of the klan, it is alleged that he
has since become the head of an
order tamed the “Knights of the
Flaming Sword.”
One champion of Colonel Simmons
arose during the Tuesday gathering
at 58 1-2 South Forsyth street. He
was Roger Taggart, of Denver, an
organizer for the Knights of the
Flaming Sword. He made a vigorous
defense of Colonel Simmons, denying
that he had “sold out” to the klan,
and declaring that many states in the
middle west maintained their adher
ence to the former emperor of the
klan.
G. Randolph Chester
Author and Playwright,
Dies of Heart Attack
Nlv\\ ORK, Feb. 26.—George
Randolph Chester, author and play
wright, died early today.
Beginning newspaper work as a
reporter on the Detroit News, he
rose to become one of the m.ion’s
most popular writers of fiction." Get
Rich Quick” Wallingford, and
Blackie Daw ’ were two of his most
famous fictional characters. He
wrote a number of books and plays
in collaboration with his wife, Lil
lian Chester. Mr. Chester was 55
years old.
Mr. Chester and his wife worked
i late last night on a new story. Short-
I ly after midnight he complained of
: pains in his chest and Mrs. Chester
applied hot towels. But the hot ap
plications failed to relieve him and
he took a hot bath and retired, jok
ing with Mrs. Chester about his
pains.
Shortly before 5 o’clock this morn
ing. Mr. Chester sat up in his bed,
awakened his wife and said to her:
“You know, dear, I love you.”
He fell back upon his pillow. His
Wife did not think him dead and at
tempted to revive him. Failing, she
called the superintendent of the
apartment house. James Schultz.
■ and he summoned an ambulance.
. Mi’. Chester died of a heart attack.
Mr. Chester was born in Cincin
nati. After his entrance into news
paper work in Detroit he returned
to his home city and became Sunday
I editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
I His first wife, whom he married in
■ Davenport, lowa, in 1895, encourag
ed him to place stories he had writ
ten on the market and they were
readily purchased.
He received $2.50 for his first piece
r>t fiction. His second piece was re
jected by seven magazines before it
was accepted by a popular weekly
publication. The first Mrs. Chester
obtained a decree of divorce and the
custody of the two children in Oc
tober, 1922. Shortly after Mr. Ches
ter was married to Mrs. Lillian De-
I remo, a former close friend of his
I wife, who had been named co-re
i spo'ndent in the divorce suit

i draw a denial from authoritative
sources. Lady Margaret is the young-

' but it was stated emphatically by
I other members that the question of
| his retirement was not considered.
Asked by newspapermen about re
ports of a move in some administra
tion quarters toward persuading him
1 to resign effective at some future
date. Mr. Daugherty’ said
“You who have* known me since
I have been in Washington should
know that I never pre-date or ante
] date anything. Whenever and if ever
I have an communication to write
or statement to make yon may rest
assured it will bear the date of the
, day my action is taken.”
He declined to discuss the earlier
; conference between the president
I and Mr. Howland. Answering inqui
ries as to whether an statement
would be forthcoming from him in
the near future, he said that if there
were, “everybody will be notified.”

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—William.
H. McAdoo’s cahdidficy for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination be- ‘
came the vehicle for a parliamentary
skirmish today in the senate.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, wanted to insert into the I
Congressional Record a newspaper i
abstract of an address delivered at
St. Louis iast night by Senator Reed,
of Missouri, also a candidate /or the
Democratic presidential nomination,
, who attacked Mr. McAdoo for his
legal services to E. L. Doheny and I
Charles W. Morse.
Democratic Leader Robinson twice !
blocked the move, but. the New
Hampshire senator was insistent and
finally read the abstract to the sen
ate, explaining that he was “wholly
! unwilling that the leaders of the
Congressional Record should lose the
vigorous phraseology” which the Mis
souri senator had used at St. Louis.
When Senator Moses concluded,
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis
sippi, retaliated by reading an article
from a .Portland, Ore., newspaper
quoting Senator Stanfield, Repub
lican, Oregon, as saying that Mr. Mc-
Adoo had “been given a .clean bill !
of health” in the oil matter.
Then Senator Harrison obtained ■
unanimous consent to place into the j
Congressional Record newspaper ab- I
stracts of addresses by Senator .Tohn
! son, of California, a candidate for
| the Republican presidential nomina
tion. in which he attacked the record
j of the present administration.
