Houston, March 10. — Edward
Young Clarke of Atlanta, former
acting imperial wizard of the Ku
KIux Klin, pleaded guilty in fed-
eral court here today,, to a charge
of violating the Mann White Slave
Act, and wa* fined 55,000 by Judge
j. C. Hutcheson, Jr.
The charge involved a young
Houston woman. It was alleged
that Clarke transported her to New
Orleans in February, 1921.
Judge Hutcheson asked for
Clarke to take the stand.
In his testimony under Question-
ing from the court, Clarke said
that he had accompanied William
Joseph Simmons, then head of the
Ku Klux Klan, to Houston for the
Confederate reunion in the fall of
1929 Simmons and Clarke, at the
former's suggestion, met two wom-
en. Clarke said he was “organiza-
tion manager*’ for Simmons and
served as “a sort of secretary.”
“Your counsel has said,” re-
marked the court, "that it was at
Suttyiou* suggestion that you went
to a house of ill repute. Do you
mean to say that you were under
his control?”
“1 do not wish to dodge any re-
sponsibility of any act of mine,”
said the defendant. »
“At that time you were propa-
gating ideals of purity, protection
of virtue and so forth, weren’t
you?" the court asked.
“At that particular time 1 was
not propagating any principles,”
Clarke ' replied. Clarke insisted
that he had fought the idea of vio-
lence against immoral women as
hmg as he was connected with the
direction of the Klan and had re-
voked the charter of the Beau-
mont Klan because of reported acts
of violence there.
“At one time,” he said, “1
threatened to revoke the charter of
every klan in Texas. I found by
my investigators that at, least part
of these acts were done by mem-
bers of the klan.”

The one-cent tax on gasoline for
January amounted to a total of $251,-
227, according to a report from Aus-
tin.
i Only one railway accident involved
loss of life in England during 1923.
The- years 1901 and 1908 were without
! a single- fatal accident to passengers.
I In the twenty-three years of the pree-
dit century the number of railway
deaths in England totals but seventy-
three. The last fifteen years have
seen 26.297 railway collisions in the
United States: Deaths, 4,326; injured,
60,682.
The flow of liquor from rum row
to Long Island and New Jersey coasts
during the last two years amounted
to 14,400,000 gallons, on which the
Federal Government has lost $164,-
j 160.000 in duty, customs officials re-
jcently announced. These figures,
j they explained, referred only to smug-
i gling activities along the Atlantic
i Coast and did not include the liquor
] smuggled into the country at (gher
I places.

Spurr Inn Destroyed by Fire.
Spur, Dickens Co., Texas, March
j 10.—The Spur Inn, perhaps the most
; famous hotel of thfe Southwest, was
reduced to ashes in a fire that broke

ranches of Northwest Texas. It was
built in 1910 under direction of the
Swensons.

writer ha* been requested by several!
n citizen* of Coleman City to make fori
I them, through the local papers, an ear-
- ne*t appeal to The Coleman Chamber
of Commerce that they provide some
j way to keep their neighbor* chickens
; away from their beautiful flower-beds
] and away from thefr growing vege-
table garden* in which they have spent
I many hour* of real hard labor; also!
; to provide *ome way to prevent vulgar,
j smutty writing ami pictures from bc-
] ing made on their cement walks and
gate post*.
Oh* dear old sister says that she ha*
worked hard all last fall and winter
to have her yard pretty for this com-
ing apring and if the Chamber of
Commerce does not save her and her*
■from all this “pesky devilment” she
will have to choose between two awful
evil*—the training of a big watch dog
that will eat up the whole "ca-poodle”
or she will have to grin and endure
the “peaky devilment” without pa-
tienee.
We read in the daily paper* where
other town* prevent the nuisance of
aggravating dogs and.chicken* and
disgusting vulgar writing and picture*.
Our dear Coleman City could prevent
It, also, if our citizens would get busy
and really mean that they want our
town the prettiest and the beat.
