Klan Wizard Not
Impressed by Allen
Texas Alan Says He Cannot
^ aste Time With Gover
nor to Disruss Empire.
Washington. Dec. in.—Emphasizing
* that he had not sought the conversa
tion be had yesterday with Governor
Allen, Dr. H. W. Evans of Dallas,
Tex , imperial wizard of the Ku Klux
Klan. said today he had "listened to
Mr. Allen two or three minutes In
which ho said he was In hearty sym
pathy with the klan principles, hut
tegistered seine objection to the klan
legalia."
The klan mask will never be taken
off. he asserted, saying it was part of
the organizations lodge regalia ami
never would he abolished.
"I came to Washington on impor
tant business,'' said Dr. Evans, "anil
had no intention of wnsing any time
with Mr. Allen. It makes little or
no dlfferenre what Governor Allen
says, and what he does means even
less.”
Tbs new imperial wizard of the in
visible empire held confab with klan
officials in his hotel here today, hut
no hint of what was considered was
disclosed. lie was accompanied to
AVashlngton by a group of high offi
cials of the order.
“The spirit of klan craft," he said,
"lias enwrapped the United States In
a mantle of love for country which
designing and ambitions politicians
cannot break, and in a few brief years
the Influence of the klan will have
so engulfed the thought of the country
that we can expect intelligent legis
lation from the congress of the Unit
ed States which will drag down the
white flag of supine inertia from our
legislative halls and raise in its place
t he militant flag of red, whiteand blue,
whleh means the thing nenrest the
heart of every real American.”
Parents’ Problems
Should children have few or ninny
hooka and playthings?
A normal child In good health
should not be sated with playthings,
as more enjoyment can lie obtained
from a few. A few well-chosen play
things will teach the children to create
as well as to preserve, while many
will develop the most natural trait in
children—to destroy. . As to books, a
child cannot have too many, but they j
should be rhosen with great care. |
Thay should bo very simple; but '
above all try to avoid developing the
mind faster than the body.
Pins of metal were made by hand In
the Sixteenth century, and were very
costly.
"Pete” Gone: Doctor Mourns
Omaha Surgeon Believes English Setter, Brought
Here for Hunting Trip, on Way Back to Cherry
County Ranch.
"Pete" Is gone and Dr. J. E. Sum
i mtrs, his owner, is w rapped in
I gloom.
“He's such a wonderful dog. and so
I affectionate, an’ everything," the
noted surgeon nius^d as he sat at his
I desk in his offices in the Rrundeis
: theater building yesterday morning
i and showed koda i pictures of “Pete "
pointing prairie chickens, retrieving
! and just sitting with his lug ears
j hanging down.
“Pete" is an English setter. As the
advertisement in the lost and found
I column of The Omaha Hee says:
Lost—black and "hits setter dog,

■pot on back, aired 7 yeafs. Reward.

Breaks Chain.
Dr. Summers and some of his
j friends were going quail hunting In
Missouri. So the doctor sent for his
dog, which he keeps on his ranch !n
Cherry county. When “Pete" ar
rived he was tied up in Mr, O’Brien's
barn, 31)10 Barnaul street.
Bast Saturday bo broke his chain
and departed. He didn’t care for the
lug city and probably turned his
nose westward for his home, 400
miles away.
"I really believe he’s on his way to
Cherry county,” sail! the surgeon as
he passed his hand over his eyes.
"And that dog is just smart enough
to cover the 400 weary, frozen miles.
Why he used to run after a Hudson
ear from Rushville to the ranch. 44
miles, and tin • lie fresh to go right
out on a hunt. He’s a wonderful dog.

but just smart and affectionate and
everything. He’s a great favorite
with Fred Hamilton. Nets Fpdike.
Dick Stewart and Bert Carpenter, as
well as with me. Nels has his half

False Alarm.
Monday a man called up and said
he had found the dog. Pr. Summers
leaped into his big^ car and rushed
to the address.
“But it didn't look any more like
‘Pete' than a cat," he said sadly.
And so the doctor sits and hopes
and pictures the faithful "I’» ■'■ plod

lie prays that ."l’ete" will arrive
Rifely or that he will be found and
returned.
A liberal reward awaits the person
who finds poor "Pete" and notifies
his owner.

Pharaoh’s Tomb
Seen by American
Magnificent Equipment Re
veals Wealth and Splendor
of Imperial Age in Egypt.
London. Dec. 19.—The archeologl
cal treasures of the recently discover
id tomb of King Tutenkhamon in
the Valley of the Kings were describ
ed today by the American exyptolo
gist, James II. Breasted, in a tele
gram to the Cairo correspondent of
the Times from Luxor
"I sjient an hour in Tutenkha
mon's tomb this afternoon, “ Dr.
Breasted said in his dispatch. "The
impression is overwhelming. The
dispatches but feebly suggested the
marvelous reality, it. is a sight 1
never dreamed of seeing.
"The antechamber of the Pha
raoh's tomb is tilled with magnificent
equipment, which only the wealth
and splendor of tlie imperial age of
Egypt of the fourteenth century be
fore Christ could have wrought or
conceived and with everything stand
ing as placed there when the tomb
was last closed in antiquity.
“Two facts are evident: First, it Is
clear that the place is Pharaoh's
tomb, and no mere cache. Behind
the remaining unopened sealed door
way we must expect to find the burial
chamber where the Pharaoh still lies
in royal magnificence. Second, we
have here a royal burial very little
disturbed, in spite of the hurried
plundering it suffered at tho hands
of the ancient tomb robbers.
"In mere quantity of furniture
found it far surpasses sli precedent
In quality It is an astonishing revela
tion of the beauty and refinement of
Egyptian art at the culmination of
its development in the imperial age,
quite surpassing anything I ever
imagined.”
