THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. NOVEMBER 14. 1921. J Basement Now Used by Omaha KuKlux Klan Frantic Efforts Put Forth by Enthusiastic Klansmrn to Keep "Fiery Cross" '. Burning Here. 'Some enthusiastic niembrrt of the Omaha klavern of the Ku KIux Klan appear reluctant to take to the life boats, Left to flounder atone, by the ab rupt departure of the king klcagle and his assistant, the loyal kUns men made a valiant effort to rally about the "fiery cross" by holding a meeting Friday night. In one respect they succeeded the meeting was held. But that about completes the story. 'There are reported to be 300 piiid-uo members of the Omaha klavern. But only a dozen managed to summon sufficient courage to re port for duty to the "nifjht-hawk" at the "secret" meeting. There wasn't cvCn a full attendance of officers. In a word, it was a bum party. Meeting Hour Secret. Of course, the place and hour of the meeting was supposed to be one which make the Ku KIux Klan such a nifty lodge to belong to. But, unfortunately, owing to an error, which it is now. too late to correct, reporters for The Bee came into pos session of the klosc-kept informa tionj , .. ' . ' Tbe meeting such as it was was held "below decks" in the building containing the Danish Odd Fellows' hall at . 2556 Leavenworth street. While the Odd Fellows met up stairs, the Kit' Kluxers ducked mys- tically into the cellar in the hope of making their.' medicine tree from snooping eyes. Of course, holding a first-class meeting without the guiding hand of the -king kleagle is a tough job, but the . little band of brave and loyal klansmen did the best they could They sung the praises of clannish 1 ness and sought to devise ways and y means, of restoring the faith' of their I , faltering comrades: at the same tiine making a few scathing remarks about newspapers which printed re ports 'Of Ku KIux Klan activities without obtaining their permission. The scant attendance at the meet ing made it quite evident that the Omaha klavern is tin aeainst it as a result ; of : its abandonment by its leading genius Ex-King Klcagle F. E. Maxey. Kleigle Goes to Minneapolis. Maxey abandoned his headquar ters in the Wead-Baldrige block and, as the police reporter would say it, "took it on the lam," the fore part of last week. He told the ft rental agent for the offices that he i was going back to his home in Richmond, Va., but his railroad ticket was for Minneapolis. ' No successor 'to Maxey has been named and no assurances have been v'r received by the few remaining loyal f followers that one will be' named. ' Maxey was the Nebraska realm's second "king kfcagle.. . The .first king klcagle sent to this state was a youth. 20 years old. who gave the name of J. Albert ' Ellerman and said he was from New Orleans. Perfected Organization.' Ellerman started the Ku KIux Klan-organization work in Omaha and. the state. First meetings .and initiations 'were held in the office of a physician in a downtown building. Ellerman, however, remained here only.a'short time.' Maxey succeeded hitii early in the campaign. Maxey 's home is Richmond, Va., but he came to Omaha -from. Alalta, where he wasH 'star" graduate"-' of the school forrrking kleagles. Maxey was an fcSpSrienced, professional organizer and- hid 'been engaged in that work beffcre "he took up Ku Kluxing, whidh he Jjas now abandoned to beat the tom-toms for still another or ganisation; When Maxey first came to' pniaha, !TJale Marshall, an Omaha mlnj signed his letters "acting King K(eagle." . Later he became king Ue.agle of .North Dakota. v , ut Out of Hall. Vhcn the local klavern annexed a few more citizens and required more room for- its meetings than afforded by a doctor's office, a hall in the Lyric building was used. But when Dr. Harold Gifford, owner of the building, was apprised of the fact by reporters for The Bee he lost no time in issuing orders to his agents to prevent any future meetings there. It was up to the klansmen to find a new hall so they discovered the basement room in the building on V Leavenworth street, believing no doubt that this location was suf-A-lflciently distant from the business district as 10 escape aeiecuon. - Officers Are Identified. The present exalted cyclops of the Omaha klavern is an employe of a public service corporation. The klabee. in other words the treas ruer, is a teller in a local national bank. The kligrapp. or clerk, is a former bookkeeper for an automo bile company. Other officers are a minister, a clerk and two physicians, who maintain an office together, in cidentally, the office in which the first meetings were held. Before the Nebraska klan began to backslide a warm ,clash between the departed king kleagle and the local officers was held. Maxey held the officers didn't show enough pep. Maxey's principal Job. was to get new klansmen and a full attendance at meetings meant that he would be given the names of many more pros pects. But "the king kleagle lost out in the selections and finally he decided to throw up tho sponge.

The prayer with which the armament ana ur eastern conference was opened was Offered by the Rev. W. S. Aber nethy, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, Washington, and wn as fol lows: "Almighty God, we thank Thee for the coming of this eventful day. We have seen it Irom afar and now we rejoice that it has at last dawned. May it bring untold blessing to a troubled world, O, Thou Omnipotent One, as in other days, we believe that Thou dost guide in human af fairs. Thou hast made of one blood, all nations that dwell upon the earth and, though we are of many races and many tongues, yet the interest of the few are the interests of the larger number. May we feel as sured that the welfare and happi ness and prosperity of the family are inexpressibly dear to Thy heart. "We prayfor clear vision or we shall grope Blindly for the light and lose our way. We pray for hearts lovingly sympathetic to human dis tress wherever it may exist or wc shall sink into the depths of the miserable selfishness. "We pray for minds willing to be lieve that the strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, or we shall miss the great joy of service. We pray for the forward look or we shall be overwhelmed in hopeless America Lays Its Cards On Conference Table (Continued From Puce One.) of converting commercial' aircraft to war uses. , 12. Conversion of merchant ma rine to warships to be regulated by agreement; 13. No ships to be built for or dis posed of to other nations. Up to Other Powers. The United States having laid its cards on the table, face up, it is now up to Great Britain and Japan to play their hands. The American delega tion has presented what it regards and is prepared to defend as a feasi ble reduction of the burden of ex pense of maintaining naval armament. It will be with difficulty that the other powers can justify objections to the general scheme. ' The indications are that the Brit ish regard the plan in outline, with favor, but will have some sugges tions to make as to details. The Japanese are . inclined to be more reserved, their viewpoint sug gesting that Japan cannot afford to accept the naval limitation proposed unless theVe shuuld be a satisfactory agreement of far eastern questions. In his address, Mr. Hughes re ferred to the views, recognized as Japanese, that the question of limit ing armaments should not be taken up until a settlement 'of Pacific and far eastern questions should be reach to be limited to 500,000 each for Eng land and United States and 300,000 for. Japan. ' - 7. . Auxiliary cruisers and destroy ers.' the keels of which have been already JaidV t be completed, but replacements to be on a basis of a miximum 450,000 tons each for Engl and the United States, and 270,000 tons for Japan. 8. Same provision for submarines with the maximum tonnage of 90,000 each for England and the United States and 54,000 for Japan. ., ?. . Total tonnage of airplane car riers tobe limited to 80,000 each for England and the United States, and 48,000 for Japan. , ' 10. Only capital ships and airplane carriers 20 years old, cruisers 17 years old and destroyers and submarines 12 years old may be replaced. ' ed. The secretary of state took is sue with that view, declaring that the conference should meet the expecta tion of the world by proceeding at once to consider the limitation of armaments. ' Urges Concurrent Consideration. He suggested that the two prob lems of the . conference should be considered concurrently and this sug gestion was adopted in the appoint ment o ftwo committees on proced ure, one relating to limitation of arm aments and the -other of Pacific and far eastern questions. It was the boldness and openness and plain assertiveness of America that astonished the foreign delegates, those veterans, accustomed to the concealments and maneuverings of Old World diplomacy. It startled them to find themselves confronted with open diplomacy, American shirt sleeve diplomacy, at the outset. Mr. Hughes not only presented the American proposals to the con ference in open session, but made public immediately - thereafter the technical details of the suggested plan " for reduction of armament, thus emphasizing the desire of the United States for the utmost pos sible publicity of the views of the delegation at all times. . ... lhe plain speaking of the secre tary of state and his submission of a concrete plan, made a hit with the audience, if not with all of the delegates, from the start. The bal conies burst into great demonstra tions ot approval when he called upon the conference to meet the ex pectation of the world for limitation of armaments -without delay and again when he asserted that tag competition m armament must stop The time has come, and this con ference has been called, nof for gen eral resolutions -or mutual advice, bt for action 1" Mr. Hughes in cisively declared, following his re view of the two Hague conferences which led to nothing but resolves to do something some time to re strict armaments. . Riant there the address 6f the secretary of state was suspended. The senators and representatives leaped to their feet and stood ap plauding for several minutes while they were joined by the American advisory committee, seated behind the delegates and by persons here and there in the audience on the main floor, among whom Mr. Bryan, in the press section, was conspicuous. The hall again was swept with applause as the secretary asserted that "there is only one adequate way out and that is to end it now." Then Mr. Hughes got to the out line of the program proposed by the United States, which, in its major essentials., was outlined on November 5. He dwelt with tell ing effect on these details, dis pessimism. Give us the ability to think clearly, to judge (airly, to act wisely. "Kelp us to think lets often of our rights and more often of our duties and responsibilities. "We pray at this hour on behalf of a world in sore need. Thou art not unmindful of the sufferings of Thy people. The cries of multitudes of widows and orphans have come up before Ihee. O God. "We have had our terrible bsotism of blood. There. is hunger and pesti lence ana unutterable anguish, uoq forbid that the woes of these years should ever again be visited upon the earth. Can it be that Thou -hast permitted us thus to suffer in order that we might turn from our own devices to Thee and acknowledge Thee 'as King of our lives and our destine ? (Jut of the depths we cry unto Thee. .Save us or we perish, "May we walk softly and humbly before Thrt,' this day and throughout the tatctul days ot this great, con ference. May we be intent on know ing Thy will, and -knowing it, may we have the courage to. do it. And may.it be-that the findings of this conference shall be so wise, so far reaching and so beneficial,' that all mankind may take new hope and fresh courage. And to Thee shall be the prai.e and the glory forever and torever, Amen. - f . , closing the great , sacrifices of na val detense which the Uruted States is prepared to make in order to bring about a general reduction of armament. rf m- Senators Applaud Plan. , The .willingness lot' 'the 'United States to junk, its entire 1916. build ing program on which it has" ex pended $342,000,000, up to date, 'created- a sensation and. immediately the proposal- by. the American- pre mier was backed up by the applause of the 'senators and epresentatives present. '.. ' Just' what. 'chances, the United States is willing, to take in', order to achieve a boon for, all mankind was strikingly - illustrated : when it. was shown that in junking the 1916 build ing program, America would be com. pelled to scrap every one of the six battle cruisers under construction, al though the Lnited States has no bat tle cruisers now, while Great' Brit ain has nine and Japan has four. The battle cruiser is so formidable and swift an engine of naval warfare that naval authorities hold their pos session would determine the result of a war on the seas. . , Delay in Building. After scrapping its uncompleted battle cruisers the -United States would be able to lay down battle cruisers only in replacement of cap ital ships on the list of 18 allotted to . the American navy' and such re placement could not be undertaken until 10 years from the . signing of the agreement. .. .' This means that if the . United States becomes involved in war in the next decade it-will have no bat tle cruisers and if there should be a war with Japan the United States will be at a disadvantage so , far as the swiftest type of powerful bat tleships is concerned. On the other hand the United States would have the advantage of Japan, in dread naughts and gun power. , , Mr. Hughes contended that the limitations proposed , for the respec tive navies of the three powers would meet "the proper demands of na tional defense'' and that the 10-year building holiday would enable them to consider their future course. . Preparations for offensive naval warfare will stop now," he conclud ed, amid another tremendous' demon stration of approval on the part of the audience. Cotner College No school .session was held last week because of the action of tho Bethany board of health In closing the town to all gatherings, duo to the epidemic of diphtheria -which threatened the town.
