THE FIERY CROSS '-. . PAGE THREE

HERN AGAIN SELECTED PASTOR FOR COVINGTON

ELAN LECTCltEtt RETAINS PASTORATE

Covington, Ind., April 24 (Special to Hery Cross). The Ilev. Russel B. Kern, of this city, who publicly de

clared that he wan a Klansman and

proud of it, was again selected pastor of the First Methodist Church

here by the entire vote of the church board, and starts on his fifth year

with the local church. The Rev. Kern, during the past months, has spoken throughout the western part of Indiana and eastern part o Illinois on the Ku Klux Klan, taking as his subject, "America's Balvatiou." The Uev. Kern has not hesitated to declare himself heartily In favor oi the Klan, and has praised the organization wherever he goes. Although the Rev. Kern has usually met with friendly audiences and applause, he has had some trouble with

the opposition in a few places, in Waynetown recently, a K. of C. engaged him in heated discussion and trouble was barely averted by the gathering of the Crawfordsville "Wrecking Crew." In Attica, it was necessary for him to speak in a garage, when the hall was refused the Klan, but nevertheless, the Rev. Kern "carried on" and is continuing to do so for the Ku Klux Klan of western Indiana and eastern Illinois.

KLANOGRAMS Kalamazoo, Mich., April 21. Rev.

Charles Dillon, who killed his pastor,

Rev. Henry O'Neill, wouldn t submit to the usual alibi of insanity and,

declaring he was absolutely sane, told of his planning for weeks to kill his superior. Ho was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. His bishop, as soon as the murder became known, was quick to declare that the slayer was insane and known for his peculiarities. Perhaps he had them, although he denies it, but apparently they were not serious enough to have resulted in his removal from

the priesthood. They became im

portant, however, as soon as he com

mitted a murder. The court decided that the slayer knew whereof he spoke when he insisted he was sane

and gave him the limit on the charge

on which he was held.

Trenton, N. J., April 25. Trustees of Har Sinai Temple have passed

resolutions asking the federal gov

ernment to withdraw the permission extended the church to use wine in

their religious services. The resolu

tion points to the abuse to which the permit is being subjected and feel that they can worship with

grape juice as well as the other protestant denominations that find the unfermented juice symbolizes the blood of the Saviour as well as the alcoholic variety.

Circleville, Ohio, April 23. Just

about the time the local opposition

had the Ku Klux Klan completely

killed, annihilated, stampeded, dead and buried in Circleville, they held

their first open-air meeting, which

the combined efforts of local opposi

tion could not stop, and which was held much to their amazement and surprise on a conspicuously high spot just outside the city, beneath a blazing fiery cross. Unable to secure a building in which to establish headquarters and hold their meetings, and fought by the local newspapers, the local or

ganization of the Knights of the Ku

Klux Klan only found In these ob stacles inspiration to do and ac

complish. They are getting a lot of

pleasure as well as genuine patriot

ism out of it and are growing stronger

and stronger against terrific odds.

London, April 24. A dispatch from Rome tells of the resignation of Stefano Cavaxoni, minister of public works, and some undersecretaries, after Mussolini demanded that all swear their allegiance to the government over any loyalty they felt due the Catholic party to which they belonged. Being unable to put the government first, they withdrew from the ministry.

(By Staff Correspondent) Goshen, Ind., April 24. A non-

operative police squad woke up after a Rip Van Winkle sleep here when

last week residents of Elkhart filed affidavits against the proprietors of a local pool hall. Simultaneous with the serving of warrants, a fiery cross

was burned in Court Park, opposite the Elkhart county jail.

William Pratt and Charles F. Gar-

ringer were taken into custody, charged with operating a gambling

resort. The complaints allege that the rooms on the second floor of the

Masonic building, over the Kramer and Garringer poolroom, have housed

poker parties for many months.

It is the first gambling house

prosecution conducted in Goshen in

more than a year.

Marion, Ohio, April 25. Either through ignorance of the facts or misinterpretation of the stand taken

by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan on organized American labor, the Central Labor Vnion of this city re-; cently adopted a resolution urging Its members not to affiliate with the Klan, because it was "not in sympathy with organized labor." The Klan is not opposed to labor. In its ranks are found men employed in ditch digging and banking, laborers and professional men. ' The attitude of the Klan is, on the contrary, favorable to American labor. Were this not the case, would the organization take the stand it has on foreign immigration? An Ohio preacher stated recently, that he would rather roll up bis sleeves and work on a lathe or

in the Bteel mills, than have the bars against foreign Immigration lowered. He would do that to save this country from an enemy which is not coming as a "great army, but creeping in, one by one, he stated. If the Marlon union is under the

Impression that radical labor organizations dominated by foreigners and even native-born citizens with a Bolshevik turn of mind, is "organized labor," tlu'y are correct in assuming that the Klan is opposed to it. However, the organization will ever stand for the rights of the American workingman, as is evidenced by it, actions and oft-repeated assertions.

Sykesville, Md April 24. Fortyseven members of the Ku Klux Klan

in full regalia, visited St. Paul's

Methodist church here, and after a speaker had outlined the purposes of the Klan and its ideals, a substantial donation was made to the church. Their entry. was met with much ap

proval.

SEYMOUR HEARS EVANGELIST

Seymour, Ind., April 24. Seymour

Is in the throes of an unusual revival,

conducted by Rev. Paul Arnold and assisted by the Rev. W. T. Mullins of the local Christian church. Rev. Arnold and Rev. Mullins are not at all backward in letting the people of Seymour know just where they stand on vice in general, law

(-violation, bootlegging, and the proper

protection of our youth. It is said here that with the assistance of local authorities the religious crusade will be followed, and the movement is

even now well under way by a strong,

militant enforcement of law.

GREENVILLE, OHIO,

HEARS KLAN ADDRESS

St. Louis, Mo., April 23. Recently St. Louis people were treated to a novel and extraordinary expression of Christian grace and 100 per cent Americanism, and unmitigated cour

age, by Rev. Charles D. McGeheo, a

Methodist minister.

It will be recalled that Father

Vraniak, who so mysteriously disap

peared, has been positively identified as the bandit who was shot by officers at Kirkwood, a short distance out of St. Louis, recently.

Rev. McGehee, from his pulpit,

commends the persistent efforts of a

local newspaper, the St. Louis Times, for its work in laying b;u-e the mystery of Father Vraniak's disappearance.

Of course. Rev. McGehee stood the fire of St. Louis papers and is being made the butt of an uncom

promising assault, for his courageous action in freely preaching the truth from the pulpit of his church.

pastor had invited members of fra

ternal organizations to be present.

address, which he did. The church members welcomed the Klansmen.

Paterson, N. J., April 23. Sixty Klansmen were cheered by the 600 members of the congregation of the Union Avenue Baptist church as the pastor of the church, Rev. Edward VV.

FIERY (ROSS BURNS AT M ETAMORA Metamora, Ind., April 24. Recently the citiczns of Metamora and the surrounding community wore brought from their homes by a num

ber of explosions, and were greeted by a brightly blazing cross placed on the hill east of this city. Shortly afterword another explosion was heard, and another cross blazed forth on a hill west of the city. The result was a darting hither and thither of automobiles throughout this part of the country and with the further result that over one hundred cars, filled with Kjansmen, formed In line and paraded down the main street of the city.

Jersey City, N. J., April 23. Rev. Dtnnis O'Connor, superior of the Carmelite order iu America, bitterly assailed the American press at a meeting of the allied Irish Republican societies. "The papers of America should be burned in the bot

tomless pits of hell," he declared.

THE KU KLUX KLAN MEETING La Fontaine, Ind., April 25. The open meeting of the Ku Klux Klan held here last Saturday evening in the Christian Church was attended by a large crowd that was well pleased by the Information given by Rev. Verle Wilson Blair, of Plainfield, Indiana, who is a national speaker of the Klan.

Mr. Blair spoke most interestingly

of the origin of this national move

ment and clearly proved that its chief aim was better citizenship and

to uphold the heritage of freedom, truth and safety given us by our

forefathers with malice toward none and charity for every creed and color under the stars and stripes of Old

Glory.

Mr. Blair pointed out clearly that the Klan had no fight to make

against any individual or organiza

tion so long as the individual or the organization did not encroach on the

liberty and rights of American citi zenship as set forth in the Declara

tion of Independence. He pointed out

with much pride that the 12th chap

ter of Romans contained the practi

cal and every day creed of the Klan

and requested all present to read it

at their leisure.

Xew Britain, Conn. Mayor A. M. Paonessa, Catholic, has declared that he will oppose to the limit of his ability the action of the school committee in votins a new school bond issue of $780,000 for the construction of schools here.

Minneapolis, Minn., April 24. H. E. Soule, editor of the National Observer, a Masonic paper, has called upon the detractors of the Klan to produce any spark of evidence that

they can to show that the Klan is guilty of crime. He cites a long list of charges, made by Miss Myrtle

Cain, Roman Catholic legislator, who

is opposing the Klan, and asked her to produce proof. So far, silence is his only answer.

FIERY CROSS AT CAMDEN

Camden, Ind., April 21. Two fiery crosses were burned on Main street in Camden Friday night in signification of purity and 100 American, in which this community is in a majority. After you feel that thrill at mention of the name of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or the words Bunker Hill or Bull Run, then you are on American. When you deplore the ancient myth of European custom, out of which come all the sins of the earth, then you

are a 100 American.

Dalton, Ga., April 24. A four-page circular entitled "Truth,' telling of the Klan and its ideals, was distributed all over this town on a recent night after the local paper refused advertising of the Klan.

ATTACK BY STEEL MAGNATE DRAWS

FIRE IN CONGRESS

Greenville, O., April 24. "What

shall we think of the Ku Klux Klan?

At the First Christian Church of

Greenville, O., Rev. A. C. You

mans, pastor, spoke for an hour to

probably the largest audience ever

assembled in a church of that city

to hear a man discuss any subject. There were over 800 present with standing room at a premium and it

was conservatively estimated that more than 600 were unable to get in the church. It showed that the Ku Klux Klan Is a live issue and that

many are mightily interested in it as an organization.

Mr. Youmans read the 12th chap

ter of Romans, declared to be the

covenant of- the Klan. He called at

tention by emphatic reading and

repetition of certain parts thereof of

the most important sections of the

chapter.

Rev. Youmans took for his text

Acts, 6 : 33-40, the advice of Gamaliel

to the court which was persecuting

the early Christians, and chose verses 38-39, the epitome of the con

text, "And now I say, refrain from

these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of

men, It will come to naught; But if It be of God, ye can not overthrow It; lest haply ye be found even to fight

against God." The speaker began by saying he had been requested to speak upon the subject by those who were opposed as well as those who seemed for the movement. Many came confessing that they sought light, as no

movement of such numbers and with

such pretension could but call out

interest in the matter.

The speaker declared he would

preach the same sermon upon the

subject if all present were Catholics; or if all present were Klansmen; or

if all were just those out of precon

ception in passive sympathy and some distrustful and against.

Mr. Youmans spoke of the conditions which made the original Klan a necessity and so effective after the war. That the Klan of today had quite as great reasons for their existence as an organization is evidenced when we observe the attitude of the people of America towards law and order. That there Is a growing disregard of the laws of our land In high places as well as low, is the

conclusion of lawyers, sociologists and every thinking and observing

man.

JUDGE GARY STILL WANTS

IMMIGRATION LAWS CHANGED (Special to Fiery Cross)

Washington, D. C, April 24. A system of selective immigration will

be proposed in the next Congress by

Senator Sterling which would pro

vide an independent committee of five named by the President who would have leeway within certain bounds to admit more immigrants than the present restrictions allow.

It has been pointed out by Judge

Elbert Gary, after his return from Europe where he has spent some

time, that certain classes of immigrants were needed for industry in this country, the present quotas not filling the demands. While in Europe, Judge Gary was received in audience by Premier Mussolini and at the Vatican. The new board, as proposed, would undoubtedly be of great benefit if properly managed but there Is a

menace in the proposition unless it be carefully handled.

If the board named should be of Catholic complexion, the leeway that is given might be exercised in a way that would increase the Catholic

ratio m this country. Common or

cheap labor from some of the Medi

terranean countries might be brought in this country with the result that lower wages might prevail.

The plan of Senator Sterling will

be discussed by him at the White House shortly. Whether or not the

support of the President can be obtained remains to be seen.

(Special to Fiery Cross) Washington, D. C, April 25 De

spite Gov. Al Smith's kind heartedness in freeing James J. Larkin, Irish agitator, who was serving five

years In a New iork State peni

tentiary for a criminal offense, it ap

pears that the agitator is not to en

joy his liberty in this country.

He had been convicted a3 an anarchist, according to Assistant Sec

retary of Labor White, and although Gov. Smith considered that he was

justified in freeing him after serving two years of his term, the Federal authorities felt that he didn't measure up to the standard that is required of those welcomed within the bounds of this country and he has been ordered deported. The decision to deport Larkin was

reached about a month ago, but the

order was held in abeyance, the convicted man being meanwhile released in the custody of his lawyer.

lowing dismissal of the charges in circuit court on motion of Prosecutor Hurd. Hurd and Otto H. Kreig, former special prosecutor in the case, ex

plained the motion to dismiss as there could be nothing gained In retrying the case. Strong legal talent
