Sales of Haynes Plant Authorized

j Kokomo, Ind., Dec. 29.—Sale at I auction of the plan, good will, name j and production materials of the ‘ Haynes Automobile Company was ! authorized Saturday by Harry C. Sheridan, referee in bankruptcy..The sale will be conducted Jan. 22, but the place was not designated. It is probable that bondholders will buy the plant and business with $1,450,i 000 of outstanding bonds will then | lease the plant to an operator. j It is understood here that Mr. j Sheridan notified Robert Tudor of I Kokomo, trustee for the company, of ! the sale authorization from his home I in Frankfort. I The Haynes Automobile Company ; bankruptcy case was referred by j Judge A. B. Anderson, in Federal i court to Mr. Sheridan, referee in ! bankruptcy, to make an investigai tion of the condition of affairs of the j plant. Mr. Sheridan has been hold- | ing hearings of claims against the company. Mr. Tudor was elected ; trustee for the Haynes Automobile [ Company at a meeting held Nov. 3, j at the Federal building. Sheridan J ordered Tudor to take charge of the I property of the company and conI tinue to operate a service plant for ! Haynes automobiles until further orj ders. The company was adjudicated a bankrupt Oct. 22. The petitioning creditors were the Chicago Kit & Tool Manufacturing Company, the Grinding Wheel Clearing House of Detroit and A. H. Merrifield of Chicago.

ADAMS COUNTY YOUTH HELD FOR BANDITRY

Decatur, Dec. 29.—Eiwood Fry,

In blunt language Col. Harvey calls into question the sincerity of French officials, even going so far as to intimate that there was a deception in connection with the negotiations which took place recently between Ambassador Jusserand and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, chairman of the American debt

commission.

In this connection, the colonel absolves M. Jusserand from all responsibility, but accepts the practically universal view held in Washington that the French government authorized negotiations and then tried to “get out from under” and make the ambassador here the “goat” of the transaction. In support of this view, Col. Harvey quotes freely from official pronouncements disclosing “a positive contradiction” in the declarations

emanating from Paris.

Water is the most even tempered of liquids; it is the slowest to cool

and the slowest to heat.

| PREACHERS ARE

(Continued from Page One)

; when this paper exposed his evil doI ings, the Evangical Conference found j another domicile for Judas. Good j riddance of bad rubbish. These aposj late preachers are doing more to I disrupt Protestantism than they realize and look about you, and see if the Catholics whom you know are scared, are they remaining away from church? Do you hear of any dispute in that church over Modernism and Fundamentalism? No! You j Klansmen are only spurring the j Catholic people on. You can not de- j ter them in the practice of their rc- j ligion. That which is foimded on lore | will prosper, while the Ku Klux Klan is dividing the spoils from the dis-

pensary of hate.

Look into the colored man’s house of worship and you will find him there singing the hymns of praise to the Master, with the same ardor that his forbears sang to the Pickinnanies on the pantations, when Abraham Lincoln liberated the colored folks from slavery. Again, visit the Synagogue and there we find the Jewish family assembled. Among the Jewish women, we find, in the majority, the ' highest types of womanhood and are ! noted for their virtuous lives. Jesus j was born of a Jewish Virgin. Reflect I on that, you supposed 100 per cent j Americans, self appointed dictators

of this free Republic. But remember, you, who would dominate the citizen- | ship of this country, are only in the minority. There are millions of fine gentile white protestants who abhor your snake like organization, stalking thru the land, sowing seeds of hate and intolerance. It will be hoove our misguided brethren to think and reason for themselves a little and we know they will be worth $10 more by

so doing.

j Sedan Ben, 928 Cecil St. David Lenon, Deer Creek, i Eckerle, Fred, 1303 North St. Ry Express Messenger. ; Epsy, Curtis, 928 Michigan Ave. Owen Wolford, Royal Centre, is hungry for some good old fried rabj bit, aryl since ammunition is rather | expensive, he just hates to buy it,

and is worrying himself gray headed because there is so much fine ammunition stored in. the basements of the Catholic churches. Now that’s' a shame, for the Catholics to corner the ammunition and as its Xmas time, we are sure if he would just call at the church the pastor would say “Go to the basement and take all you find.” Try it once, Owen. Harry Manning, Lucerne, is a vary ardent Klan and almost lives in his ni£ht gown and hood. He may like the hood for various reasons. We all know Darwin had a theory and some folks say that, Manning is the personification of the same. We do so hate to ridicule our Koo Koo friends, but then that one of the seven times, that we fall each day .You know Koo Koos are 100 per cent (in their own estimation and never fall.)

WHAT OF THE FUTURE? What of the future ? querries a local publication of the KKK. Yes, what of it? Here is the way the triple K editor look at it: “There can be no doubt that in the final analysis, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan will profit from its experience of the past few weeks!” Maybe so; but who is there that .will make the final analysis for the Klan, now that its mathematicians are all out of work?—The Southern Messenger, San Antonio, Tex. As time goes on, the real purpose of the ku klux klan becomes apparent. Two years ago we ventured the guess that the secret purpose of the klan was to divide the workers in this country and thus to break up labor unions. Observe that it is in railroad centers in the middle western states where the klan flourishes most luxuriantly. Industrial centers are also canvassed again and again. The agitation is kept up in these places even when any hope of making a success of the Klan organization has vanished. Why? The seeds of dissensions are sown, and the purpose behind the klan is accomplished as soon as. neig-hbor begins to suspect neighbor. The history of the ok 1 A^P. A. agitation and the Knights of Labor may be repeated soon in America.—True Voice.
