Still later on, in a signed article j covering the entire front page of the j “Missouri Fiery Cross,” a new name given the “Patriot”, the Rev. Mr. Crawford reproduced his letter to the Post-Dispatch, in which he said Bowers had received the farm and that reports of any irregularities in the award were untrue. This issue of the publication was distributed widely in the city by klansmen who placed copies on doorsteps. The farm in question is 80 acres at Parnell, De Witt county, Illinois, and is owned by Lincoln E. Slick and his wife, Mary E. Slick. It was advertised in the “Patriot” that this, farm would be awarded to the reader of the paper who submitted the best slogan to head the editorial columns of the paper. The farm was advertised as being worth $25,000 to $40,000. In the latter part of December the “Patriot” announced the winner as Howard W. Bowers of 3304 Ohio avenue, who has since moved from that address to Clifton Heights, announcing that the text of the winning slogan was, “Let only native-born American citizens enjoy the suffrage
right.”
The Post-Dispatch subsequently confirmed the fact that no farm had changed hands in the contest and that Bowers had been employed as a
“straw man.”
It was then that the Rev. Mr. Craw-
secured.

Slick said he had given the farm to Bowers, and Bowers said he had received the farm and was “going up there this spring” to take possession. But records of De Witt county showed the property still in the name of Slick, with mortgages on it amounting to $17,700, which the “Patriot” omitted
to mention in its advertisements.
Exposure of the situation by the Post-Dispatch caused McCarron, the klan’s imperial representative at Kansas City, to begin an investigation within the klan, with the result that he obtained the statements of the Rev. Mr. Crawford and Bowers, together with other evidence, which he has sntmi'.ted to the Federal authorities for p?’osecution or any use they care to
make of it.
On his way to St. Louis, McCarron said, he stopped at Jefferson City for a conference with Heber Nations, State Labor Commissioner, and got the state official’s approval of exposure of the Rev. Mr. Crawford and others involved in the slogan contest. William Noah, local postofflee in-

All Europe Is talking about the royal scandal, the way in which Alphonso is behaving himself. The comic papers of France ridicule and roast him. It is in France that Alphonso spends most of his time, at the fashionable seashore resort, Deauville.
