Out of the dim vastness of the hangar and into the sunlight were wheeled a Martin bomber and a j)H-4 observation plan, big craft of their kind, that had looked like flies as they squatted overnight on the floor of the ZR-3’s destined guest chamber.

Walker Admits Making Speech toKian Meeting at Kansas City ATLANTA, Ga.—Gov. Clifford Walker, of Georgia, admit* being the “governor of a great state,” who adddressed the imperial klonvoca tion of the Ku Klux Klan in Kan sas City on September 23, a story published Tuesday in the Atlanta Constitution says. Besides admitting he addressed the convention, Governor Walker admits he joined the klan during its early days, the Constitution says, although the governor contends he does not know if his membership still obtains. The governor was accompanied on the Kansas City trip by J. J. Brown, Georgia commissioner of ag riculture, and Peter S. Twitty, state fish and game commissioner, both of whom also, according to the Constitution, admit having been on the trip. Governor Walker and Commissioner Brow'n assert they attended the klonvocation in their capacities as private citizens. DECLARES HE HAS "NO APOLOGIES.” Governor Walker Is quoted as having said lie pleaded with the klansmen for religious tolerance and that he had no apologies to make for his remarks at Kansas City. At the time he left here to go to the meeting, the newspaper says that the governor announced he was going to Philadelphia, but went to Kansas City instead. The gover nor is quoted in the Constitution’s story as having said that when he left here has was undecided wheth er to go to Philadelphia or to Kan sas City, that what he wanted was a rest. He offered to make the same ad dress he made at Kansas City to any gathering, Catholic or other wise, the newspaper says, and con tends that he has offered the same thoughts in addresses to other or ganizations. In the same article, Governor Walker is quoted as having told of a conference wlith Nathan Bedford Forrest, grand dragon of Georgia for the klan, the day he was inau gurated governor of Georgia in June, 1923. He said, says the story, that in this conference he told Mr. Forrest that he intended to fight mob violence, either masked or un masked, during his tenure as gover nor. Mr. Brown also admitted, the Constitution says, that he is a memmer of the klan and that he attended the Kansas City meeting in hils capacity as a citizen. "When the day comes that a citizen loses his right of free assembly by be coming a public official, I’ll resign my office," he is quoted as having said. Governor Walker, in response to a question by the Constitution's in terviewer, is quoted as having said that he had never made the speech he delivered at Kansas City before a Catholic organization for the rea son that he had never been invited to do so, but would deliver It if the Invitation la extended.

Davis, democratic presidential candidate, left Indiana Tuesday and campaigned his way through southern Illlnlois. He carried with him across the Wabash, however, a hope of victory which he admitted he did not feci when he en tered Indiana, and which, he said, hRd sprung up to absolute confidence dur ing his travels in that state. Ig his appeal to Indianans In Terre Haute Mr. Davis restated his labor creed—rights to all men and special prlvilcgs to none—and left his promise to “hold the scales of Justice fair and equal between every man, woman and child.” From 1913 to 1921, Mr. Davis said the country had democratic rule un der the leadership of Woodrow Wilson “and received more legislation bene ficial to labor than had ever been passed In any similar period of Am erican history. It was then, he re called that It was written on the statute books for the first time that the labor of a human being Is not a commodity or an article of commerce. In elaborating his appeal for labor support, the candidate pointed to the enactment of the law recognizing the right to organize for the promotion of labor’s welfare and to collective bargaining. "You have the writ of Injunction limited," he added, "the clght-hqur day recognized and what more could nngjabor party have given you than did the democratic party while It was In power?” On the other hand, Mr. Davis took occasion In Indiana to make a re statement of democratic contributions to business. While It was not a business man’s party that was elect ed In 1912, he said, business had de vised the federal reserve act, the greatest piece of financial legislation this country ever knew. Had the government been devoted to business need" alone during the years of the Wilson administration It could not have made a greater contribution than the reserve act, he said. MAKES APPEAL TO THE FARMERS. Neither did the candidate fall to Include In his Indiana campaign an appeal to the farmera for eupport of the democratic ticket In November. On the agricultural record of the Wilson regime also was sounded In th* Terre Haute addresa. "There was no farm party elected In 1912," Mr. Davis said, "hut the farmers of this country received for the first time in the farm loan credit act the same sort of credit as the business man of the country hsd en joyed for years, They received the warehouse act and a long list of leg islation pseiillarly sdvsntsgeotis to themselves, What more would a farm party have given you If they had been In power than that?" Agalnat the rechals and prnmlaea Mr Davla painted for the Indiana voters a picture of republicanism which, he said, had heen revealed by the Harding and Coolldge adminis trations. "As a matter of fact.” he declared. "If you return to power President. Coolldge and Uie last congre«s. most of whose mcnMtan are candidates for re-election, you will have the same sorry spectacle of governmental im potence that has afflicted this coun try In the months that have gone by."

BAXON) The dog show has certainly proved a center of interest during the two days It held forth, and throngs of women and children, and men, too, have gloried In th many splendid dogs exhibited. It’s hard to say which of the many breeds of dogs en-benched claimed admiration of the women most, but lots of the women were notic ed to hover around the stalls where the little Boston terriers were chained. They are right cute looking, but beyond a nice little toy I can’t see much to them. However, they are popular and those who own them think there’s nothing else lri the dog kinghom worthwhile: so there you are. Among the Boston Terriers there Is one, though, that particularly attracted me, that was Banda, be longing to Mrs. J. M. Caldwell. Banda Is pert looking and Is a real pretty dog. He was a blue ribbon winner at the show held here the early part of this year. His coat Is sleek looking and snows that ex traordinary fine care Is taken of him. He Is a wonderfully bred dog and comes from a strain of bench show winners. In markings he Is mode color with white collar and vest, white topped front feet and a blaze In his face. One dog In the show that has at tracted quite tt bft of attention Is the big Bt. Bernard. Particularly among the children was this dog a favorite. These big fellows are seldom seen now-a-days; but there was a time were quite common about Augusta. They are yery fine dogs and are especially noted as watch dogs and as care takers for children. They are af fectionate In nature and are very loyal to their masters. Little Jim Walker, son of John W. Walker, the Insurance man, went Into ecstacles over the Ht.

PAPER FMftAD BY CHARLES BERST An Interesting paper was read on “The Development of tho Fire Alarm Box,” by Charles Berst, dis trict sales manager, The (lamewell Company, Atlanta. A brief history of tho development of the standard street box was given relating the history what is now known os the Gamgwell System, telling of Its origin and the patent secured by John N. Clamrwell, its Inventor, in 1817. "There has been very substan tial improvement made in the standard of fire alarm boxes,” said Mr. Berst. “The old style boxes which met every need iri the day of their designing are today as obselete ns a kerosene lamp; yet as we travel through the country we find different type boxes.” He pointed out that the safety of a city demands the latest In modern con struction, and Ui a number of In stances cities have not hesitated to' Junk obselete methods.

Apparently the Detroit manu facturer after occupying the center of the stage in a heated con troversy that consumed the atten tion of congress for two years, vol untarily has withdrawn and an nounced Ills position through the magazine. As far as can be learned, the White House, war department and congressional committees deal ing directly with Muscle Khoals have received no official notice of the withdrawal. Washington was equally Interest ed In Ford’s reported advocacy of the administration's proposal to create an Impartial comrnisalon to atudy the Muscle Hhoals question and submit recommendations to congress and also in his quoted statement that he helieved the ar my engineers could carry the work forward If unhampered. During the committee hearing the Ford sup porters opposed both of these pro posals and charged they were mere ly measures to thwart the Ford bid. If Ford actually has retired from the bidding, members of congress favoring his hid probably will es tablish affiliations with other groups before December when the Muscle Shoals Issue will come up on the senate calendar as the first order of business. Officials said no sleps would he taken until It was learned officially that Ford definitely had withdrawn from Muscle Shoals. 18 CENTS A WEEK.
