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.

Minister Opens Arms Conference
With Prayer for Success of Meet
Washington, Nov. 13. 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

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.

If you've reason ' to suspect your kidneys,

recommended kidney remedy. DOAN'S have

ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR!
C. M. DOWNING, 2216 Leavenworth St.,
says: "My first trouble with my kidneys
was caused by a strain. I would be so
lame I couldn't stoop over, and the sharp,
cutting pains in my kidneys felt as
though someone had stuck a knife into
me. My kidneys would act frequently dur
ing the night and the secretions, were
highly colored. At times it felt as though
a heavy weight across my back we're pull
ing me down. A friend advised me to use
Doan's Kidney Pills and a couple of
boxes relieved me."
