V tilt the Kn KInx Klan was taking upon
i ' itself to pais upon offenses and that its
caembers masked and robbed to conceal
their identitT. had taken upon them
4 awlvea. to administer punishment not
MtuHWwxl hr the law and in many in
A stances these punishments had been in
flicted eontrarj to the law which g-uaran-ttees
a man a trial in open court and be-
v fore a Jury where his accusers testified
'"' openly and were not disguised as was the
4 - practice of the "so-called Ku Klux Klan."
I . f!harrin that the oath of allegiance to
; the Kn Klux Klan sworn to by members
" t that orjaniaation was in reality an
i- illiniTM tn fhe imnerial wiiard of that
. smnisation and took precedence of
' svery other obligation the Cass county
man urged that the legislature pass the
i' resolution which called upon the imperial
? wiunl of the Ku Klux Klan in Texas to
withdraw his organiiation from the State
and forever refrain from encouragina;
further .otivhips of the order in Texas.
At this juncture the time for consid-
rainn nf resolutions bavins expired the
house was called to order to consider
other matters.
Speaker Thomas ruled that upon the
resumption of the discussion of the reso-
lution the gentleman from Cass would be
in possession of the floor.

Disarmament Conference
By Leased Wire to The Houston Post.
LONDON July 25. Ambassador Har
vey has presented to the British foreign
office a long note in which Secretary
Hughes says Washington is in favor of
preliminary conference on the Pacific
questions but does not want it to be
held in London. He does not specify a
meeting place for the preliminary con-
ference but it is inferred that he wants
it to be held either in America or in
some neutral country. Me also says
November 11 was selected as the date
for the opening of the main conference
for sentimental reasons but any other
date would do as well.

The attempt of South Texaa livestock in-
terests to have the executive committee
of the Texaa and Southwestern Cattle
Raisers' association ask Governor Neff
to submit to the special session of the
legislature a request that the tick eradi-
cation law be suspended in sons three
for one year failed at the meeting of the
committee here Monday.
Following a somewhat lengthy discus-
sion in which membera of the livestock
sanitary commission took part the mo-
tion waa tabled by a near unanimous
rote. The action was proposed by M. W.
Brennan and R. K. Sims both of La-
redo in behalf of South Texas.
J. E. Boog-Scott chairman of the sani-
tary commission pleaded with the mem-
ber! of the committee not to reopen the
tick eradication fight
"It would be bad policy to reopen the
matter at this time by seeking legislative
action" Boog-Scott said.
"Although the proclamation says the
South Texas work is to start January 1
it wl not be started until April 1." he
.
added. . "We're not going to be hard on -these
people."
J. iv Aiurrah or Kan Antonio a mem
ber of the board also spoke against
proposal.
A large number of representative
stockmen from all sections of the State
