The announcement from the royal household preceded another by a spokesman for the queen in denial of reports from abroad that King Ferdinand had requested Marie terminate her tour and return to Bucharest.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 25 (By Associated amazing tale of political intrigue in Indiana, through which ran the names of Senator James E.

Watson, Republican candidate for re-election, and high officials of the Ku Klux Klan, was related here today to the senate campaign fund committee by Ralph E. Bradford of Crown Ind. Bradford said' 1 he was a former member of the klan and admitted that some of his information was second -hand. In addition, the witness 'made charges of wholesale political corruption in Lake county, particularly in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, during the Republican primary last May, and asserted that there had been a general "shaking down" of bootleggers and divekeepers by peace officers working in the interests what was described as the Watson organization. Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, the committee chairman, who still was carrying on the inquiry by himself, also was told that it was "well known among the klansmen of Indiana that Senator Arthur R.

Robinson was 2 klansman." Bradford said he could not say whether the senator still is a member of the hooded order. After the hearing here had been closed, to be reopened in St. Louis probably tomorrow. Senator Reed announced that if Senators son and Robinson desired to refute the new evidence presented to the committee, they would be given opportunity to do so through affidavits. Bradford, who with Wallace C.

J. Granger of Logansport, proved the star witness of the day, freely conceded that he WitS an ex-klansman; that in the fight in Lake county he was lined up with the anti-Watson forces, and that most of his testimony had been obtained at second hand. The first startling bit of testimony given by the witness was that he had been informed by Walter F. Bossert of Indianapolis that Senator Watson had sat in on a conference of klan officials at Washington at which the resigna-! tion of Bossert as Indiana grand dragon had been forced by Dr. Hiram W.

Evans, imperial wizard of the klan. Besides Senator Watson and Dr. Evans, others at the session ineluded Joseph Huffington, in charge of klan political affairs in Indiana; Robert McNay, then a klansman, and the mayors Indianapolis and Evansville. Bradford said he had been told of this conference also by James Bolin, then secretary of Bossert. "Bossert told me there had been a terrific row at the Washington conference," Bradford said, "and that he finally threw down on the table his resignation both as diana grand dragon and as an officer of the national klan." Both Bradford and Granger charged there had been "a deal" whereby Bossert was to be deposed because he insisted on keeping the klan non -partisan and that W.

Lee Smith had been made grand dragon in his place so that the klan would "go down the line" for Senator Watson. SURGEONS APPROVE ARIZONA HOSPITALS MONTREAL, Oct. 25.

AT LEAST 600 KILLED Relief Agencies Send Twenty Carloads of Supplies to District. LENINAKAN, Armenia, Oct. 25 (By Associated reports over the crippled wires from Karakala and other ruined towns in the territory laid waste by the earthquake Friday night indicate an even greater loss of life and more widespread havoc than at a first reported. The latest estimates, admittedly based on incomplete data, place the deaths as high as 600, with 1,000 others maimed or missing and a 000.000 property loss.

It. will be weeks before the full extent of the catastrophe is known owing to the fact that a large part of the population in the earthquake zone is nomadic, widely 'scattered and not regisItered. Possibly hundreds of perished in obscure mountain roads, valleys and isolated hamlets far from human succor. It was established today that no Americans in the widespread chain of relief stations conducted by the Near East Relief in the devastated areas are among the victims, although several of their Armenian assistants perished. Twenty carloads of flour, medicines, blankets and fuel arrived here today from Tiflis.

The few stores which remained intact re. opened tonight for business. All the American relief orphans at Leninakan are living in the open fields or in tents composed of American army blankets. All are i well, but shaken by their ing experiences. The tremors, which continued intermittently since night, ceased early today disFriday, tracted populace ventured from their temporary in the fields to visit their shelters, homes which in most cases they found a mass of wreckage.

That there was not EL higher death roll probably was due to the fact that the American relief workers, who had made a special study of the effects of earthquakes, with which Armenia is periodically afflicted, had taught the inhabitants to rush from their homes at the first tremors and take refuge in the fields. Providentally 90 per cent of population were in the open when the 1 second quake came, which buried the city, otherwise they would have perished in their tottering homes, which crumbled like tinder wood. M'DERMOTT MAY GET IMMUNITY "Key Man" in Mellett Death Case Has not Yet Told Story. CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 25 (By Associated -Patrick Me Dermott's own story of the Mellett murder case remained undisclosed tonight, although he talked today to Prosecutor C.

B. McClintock and Detective Ora Slater. McClintock and Slater seemed pleased with the day's work and after removing McDermott from the county jail to the county work house, refused to tell any more than they told when they arrived here last night from Twin Rocks, with the elusive "key man" finally in custody. He had been st ught for three months as a prime figure in the murder July 15 of the Canton publisher, Don R. Mellett.

They continued to declare that the case they have built around McDermott and the other indicted pair--Ben Rudner and Louis Mazer -has been strengthened and that several additional indictments may be expected. The Stark county grad jury can be called within 24 hours, McClintock said, if the situation warrants. Asked if he had agreed to grant McDermott immunity or to nolle prosse the indictment for first degree murder against him, McClintock said: "McDermott will go on trial foo first degree murder unless he turns state's evidence. I think he has more talking to do." The close-mouthed attitude of the authorities was construed as indicating that McDermott's story is to be guarded jealously from defense attorneys for Mazer and Rudner, who go on trial November 8 and December 6, respectively.

Announcement of the discoveries was made yesterday by Dr. Byron Cummings, director of the state museum of Arizona, and professor of archeology at the university. The extraordinary finds, which may rewrite a chapter of American paleontology, were made on the bank of Whitewater wash, east of McNeal, Cochise county, about 15 miles northeast Bisbee and 17 miles northwest of Douglas. While Dr.

Cummings reserved final judgment on the exact meaning of the discoveries, which were made by him Saturday and Sunday, he made it clear that, especially in connection with the finding of two human skeletons in a similar stratum on Empire ranch, about 60 miles to the northwest, there is great reason to believe that man lived in North America many thousands of years before the period generally agreed upon as marking his advent. Mammoth's Age 25,000 It is well established that the mammoth existed during the glacial period, which, closed about 25,000 years is quite probable, however, that the elephant whose head was discovered Saturday roamed the hills of Arizona 50,000 years ago. So far as Dr. Cummings recalls, the specimen found on the Whitewater wash is the first trace of a mammoth unearthed in Arizona, though it is possible, the archeologist added, that mammoth remains have heretofore been found in this state without being reported. About five years ago, government geologists discovered the skeleton of a mastodon near Benson.

Dean Cummings himself and others unearthed the femur of a prehistoric elephant believed to have been a mastodon, recently, near Arivaca, on the Cerro Colorado mine. Two weeks ago, a Mexican living near the Cerro' Colorado mine turned over to Dr. Cummings another femur, likewise believed to be that of a mastodon. The find just made near Bisbee, however, is the first that has come Dr. Cummings' notice definitely establishing the skeleton as that of a mammoth, because both teeth and tusks were sufficiently well preserv-, ed to identify the type of elephant.

Dr. Cummings plans to continue the excavations on the Whitewater wash, with the expectation of unearthing the rest of the mammoth's skeleton. The head of the monster was found bedded in clay and caliche. It was turned slightly upward, as if the elephant had perished as it was being bogged in the mire, in a standing position. Dr.

Cummings believes that further excavations will bring to light the rest of the (Continued to Page Column 3.)

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25 (By Associated Press.) -Aimee Semple McPherson, evangelist, on preliminary hearing charged with criminal conspiracy, put a superior court Judge and the district attorney who is prosecuting her on the witness stand here today in her fight to prove her innocence. The judge was Carlos H. Hardy, admittedly her friend and adviser. The prosecuting attorney Keyes, whom Mrs.

McPherson has charged over her Angelus temple radio with "persecution," not "prosecution." The appearance of these two and the disappearance of the fifth batch of documents 011 the case to be reported lost, strayed or stolen, were the high lights today of the McPherson mystery which pened May 18 when the evangelist dropped from sight at the beach and this morning entered its fifth week in court after months of arguu ent pro and con in the newspapers. Letters Missing The missing documents, sought vainly by the district attorney, were letters attributed to Judge Hardy and sent to Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman-Sielaff, co-defendant with Mrs. McPherson, who, however, has testified for the prosecution. The judge who stepped down from his superior court bench to toke the witness box in municipal court gave the first sworn testi- mony affirming belief in the evangelist's oft -repeated story that she was kidnaped last May, held for ransom, escaped from her abduetors on the Mexican desert and fled, under a burning mid-summer sun, across the desert 15 or 20 miles to Agua Prieta, adjoining Douglas, Ariz.

He testified to his interest in Mrs. McPherson's affairs by stating that he had instructed private detectives to work on the case in an effort to combat rumors that the religious leader, as contended by the prosecation, had spent part of the time after May 18 living in a Carmel bungalow with Kenneth G.

The defense point was flattened out by the next witness, J. B. Worley, captain of the Long Beach police department, who testified that he had informed Mrs. Kennedy of the McKinley angle of the case the day before he had told about it. Detective Sgt.

Ralph Alyea of Long Beach, corroborated evidence. Aleya also said McKinley had pressed belief that Mrs. Pherson, following her disappearance, planned to stage a "big come-: back." Constable O. A. Ash of Douglas, again took up tale of Mrs.

The court, six to three, held that the president had full discretion in removing such officers, with the exception of a few judges, notwithstanding any restrictions that the congress might impose. The decision set at rest a controversy between the legislative and executive branches of the government as old as the constitution itself. en From the first congress up to the present, these two departments of government have been at odds as to power of removal of appointive office holders.

Up from Oregon The question, frequently an issue for heated political debate, reached the court in an appeal by Frank S. Meyers, appointed by President Wilson to the postmastership at Portland, in July, 1917, and subsequently removed by him in February, 1920. His successor was not nominated and confirmed until after. four years, the period for which he had been appointed had expired. Meyers challenged his removal as illegal because of the act of congress of July 12, 1876, which provided that postmasters of the first three classes "shall be appointed and may be removed by dent by and with the advice restate consent of the senate." He contended he was entitled pay for the full four years because President Wilson had not obtained the consent of the senate for his removal.

The opinion today was delivered by Chief Justice Taft, with Justices Holmes, McReynolds and Brandeis each presenting separate dissenting opinions, all agreeing in the words of Justice McReynolds, the position taken by the court was revolutionary. Under the opinion, the president is recognized as having power, which cannot be restricted by congress, to remove any federal official commissioned by him or a predecessor with the exception of a judges. The court held that broadly this power was placed in the president's hands to enable him to carry out the constitutional in( junction to see that the laws 310 well and faithfully executed, as it had been contended by those wha I opposed congressional control over removals, that unless such power were given, the president a might be paralyzed in tie efficient and proper administration of executive duties." Gives Reasons In reviewing the reasons for this power it was said that otherwise the president might find many of those upon whom he must rely for loyal support out of harmony with his policies and openly showing allegiance to adverse influences in congress. It was the opinion of the minority that the effect of the decision would be to give the president full control over the personnel of all I commissions and all presidential offices, even to the office of comptroller general, around which congress has sought to throw the closest safeguards. It would leave him free, the minority held, to remove all executive officers including members of the various commissions.
