APRIL HEADACHES AND SPRING FEVER Wetkly Health Talk No. 1 By J. D. Goldtterry, D. C. April headaches arid spring fever are closely related. Usually when you get rid of one you get rid of the other. There are various kinds of headaches, but the kind that goes along with spring fever (bodily lassitude) is caused by a subnormal liver. The wastes of the body are not removed rapidly enough.
The mental impulses or life energy that travels the nerve lines flow equally to all parts of the body, the liver included, unless there is a displacement of spinal bones interfering with the nerves to the liver. By chiropractic spinal adjustments the chiropractor removes the cause of this interference and the full power and health energy of the liver is restored. Headaches and lassitude disappear.
RID OF HEADACHES "My nif liad nick headaches that hfpt her In bed for days at a time. We tried all manner of remedies but nothing gave any permanent benefit until my wife took a course of chiropractic spinal adjustments. Her general health was greatly improved and the headaches disappeared. I am glad at all times to recommend cliiropracric." Rev. J. H. Barnes. Chiropractic Research Bureau Statement No. 1314H.

rendered himself. Extending his hand he gave the officer a hearty handshake saying, "See, I have no
gun on me." Patrolman Fred Rodes,
who was guarding the opposite side
of the house, was called and the two
brought Hudson to jail.
Hudson had no comment to make.
At the jail he said, ft never harmed anyone in my life." He did not appear depressed. As he nassed behind
the bars he inuaired of Demitv
Sheriff Myers, "Who else is in here?"
Myers told him he was the jail's only occupant.
'Then I'll be in good company,
won't I," Hudson replied.
This morning at breakfast the
deputy sheriff told Hudson that Gil-
ley was dead. Hudson made no xeply. He still appeared to be unperturbed by the tragedy in which he is alleged to be one of the principal
cnaracters. He steadfastly refused to give his version of the shooting, avoiding the subject.
Flavian A. Seal, employed as Hud
son's attorney, had a conference with the prisoner at the jail early this morning. Mr. Seal would make no statement regarding the shooting or
tne aerense. Aivin Padgett has also been employed to defend Hudson.
Because of reticence of the miners I present at the meeting to divulge what went on in a session of their lodge, there were conflictine stories
told about the murder.
It is known, however, that Gilley had been asked to come to the meeting to explain his connection with the Daviess County Detective Association. Gilley was one of the special constables recently authorized by the county commissioners at the request of the association. He had been asked to attend two or three previous meetings of the miners' local to offer an explanation but had failed to do so. Accepting the offer, Gilley, at last night's meeting, defended himself against the charge that inasmuch as he belonged to the detective association he also belonged to the Ku Klux Klan. It was contended in the meeting that a member of the Ku Klux Klan could not belong to a miners' union. In the course of the argument Hudson, in opposing Gilley's defense, is al-
iegea 10 nave torn Gilley that he was a Ku Klux Klan member.
Gilley made hia explanation and
according to some reports everything till f 1. Antlnf. . 7 r .
son leveled a revolver at Gilley and
nrea. Anoiner version was that Gil
ley approached Hudson after the latter had called him a member of the
Klan. As he did so Hudson is al
leged to have pointed a Distol at. him
Gilley told him he was too big a
cowara 10 snoot whereupon Hudson
pulled the trigger.
Trouble has been brewing between
the men since last fall, acquaintances
way. Gilley Is said to have secured
the ill will of Hudson when he was
given the, job of driving an entry at
me ureen Mound mine on davs when
omer miners were not workinsr. A
reeling against Gilley is said to have arisen because he was getting in
more urne tnan other miners.
Gilley died without regaining con
sciousness. The ball . entered hl
head about an inch above the rieht
eye and ranged downward and back
ward, it lodged inside the skull nt
the back of the head. Dr. A. A. Rang said all the important parts of the
Dram were punctured by the bullet in its flight and that ihere was no chance whatever for Gilley to sur
vive, lo relieve a hemorrhage of
the brain caused by the severing of important blood vessels, an incision in the skull was made on the side of the head.
Mrs. Gilley and two cl-Udrcn were
en route to the home of her brother, Charles Campbell, on Dewey avenue
10 auenu a wienie roast when her husband was shot. He had told hr
before leaving that the miners' meeting would not last long and that
ne wouiu be at the party early.

ley on her arrival at her brother's home.
Gilley would have brea nn

The body was prepared for burial at the Gill morgue and removed to

held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Aikman's Creek church and will be in charge of the Rev. J. c. Grimes, a Presbyterian minister, assisted by the Rev. I. S. Mclver. Gilley and Hudson were both employed as miners at Green Mound
coal mine. Hudson has been a miner practically all of his life -while
billey went into the mines only two or three years ago. Hudson is the father of thirtnAn

MAYOR DETERMINED TO STOP ILLICIT WHISKY TRAFFICMORE SPOTTERS TODAY
Assistance by Horse Thief Detectives and Kn Klux Information GlTen to Prosecutor
Anderson, Ind., April 23. Mayor Horne is determined to put a stop to the illicit sale of liquor in Anderson. Today the police will take up another feature of the work. They will put additional watchers about the soft drink places and the pool rooms and will stop the idle loafing about those places. Round-Up of Non-Workers The factories about town need men and If the transient element and chronic loafers won't work they will be asked to leave town and will at least be kept from congregating about these places. Assistance In Clean-Fp Two weeks ago Mayor Horne,
assisted by Chief of Police Potes,
planned on a clean-up and it was last week they visited the Horse Thief Detective Association in a
meeting in Anderson and asked them to help them, particularly along the
line of nnding stills in the country
districts. The detective association is now at work. The officers of Ku
Klux have also volunteered their aid,
and Mayor Horne has said he will welcome it.
Federal Agents Here William Ray, of the Federal enforcement staff at Indianapolis, is now here at the suggestion of Mayor Horne, and with a staff of men will take part? Information to Prosecutor The local police have furnished Prosecutor Smith a list of places where arrests for violations have been made and it is likely the policy will be pursued by the city administration and the prosecutor of holding owners of buildings responsible for violations by renters. At Gary
ana Muncie, in particular, many
buildings have been closed up and landlords made to suffer. It will likely come to this here.
CITIZENS' PARTY ASSISTS SHERIFF
RAIDS CONDUCTED IN MARSHALL
COUNTY NET 'MOONSHINE" STILL AND LIQUOR
Plymouth, Ind., April 24. Sheriff
Bennett, with Deputy Sheriff Bo
gardes and several of a "citizens'
party." upon the filing of affidavits,
went to Bremen recently and raided
two houses, one occupied by Alfred Manning, and the other by John Vanskyhawk. The raids were made
simultaneously by two sets of offi
cers.
The raids resulted in the finding
of forty-eight gallons of mash and
a gallon and one pint of moonshine whisky, together with a five-gallon
still.
The property was confiscated and
brought to the county jail, and Al
fred Manning was placed under ar
rest and was brought to the jail.
Manning was to have had his pre
liminary hearing Monday, but up to 3 o'clock it had not been called. He
will probably plead not guilty and
will be bound over to court.
Manning is about 40 years of age and it is claimed is an ardent patron
of his own booze.
Complaints have been made for
some time of booze being sold in Bremen, and the affidavit was the result of the complainants' effort to
get rid of the Joint.
Hudson, then only 18 years old
struck Buckley, a man of more than SO years, on the side of the head
with hia fist inflicting a fatal inlury,
Buckley, the father of elevev children, died two days later -without
regaining consciousness.
Hudson was indicted for murder
and was brought to trial at the next term of court and was found
not guilty on September 5, 1910,
Funeral Held Today.
The funeral of Gilley was held
Sunday afternoon at Alkmans Creek
church. After the regular church
funeral had been held, 138 white
robed men marched from behind
hill nearby into the church, and filed past the coffin. They went from the
church to the cemetery nearby,
where they formed a circle three deep around the grave and conducted brief services in the presence of a crowd estimated at 6,000 persons. A cross of red roses, presumably rep
resenting a fiery crossf was placed
on the grave. The leader of the
masked men removed his robe and
made a short talk. Later the hooded
men retreated behind the hill.
In his talk the speaker said Gilley
had given up bis lite for hia prin
cipies. "There are enough of us
right here in this crowd to take his
slayer from your sheriff and admin
ister punishment enough to meet his crime," said the speaker, a stranger
in the community, "but that is not
our way. we do not believe In mob violence. The law must take Us
course."
Automobiles sot owned In the
county were numerous in the big
procession, and it was reported- the masked men who participated in the
demonstration were from Bhelbyville
and Terre Haute. Many cars were-l
from Bullivan, Knox and Pike coun
ties, Fields in the vicinity of the -chnron were used to park the oars
after the roadside was filled. Per
sons counting , tn 'automobiles said
it was- alleged In tha af&davit thatl there were more tnan 2.000. - -
PERSECUTION
OF NEWSBOYS (Continued from Page 1, Column 3)
peveral young men and women walk-J
iug iowara a certain section or the town, they inquired the way to the high school building, thinking they would be able to boost their sales at the school gate. Chief of Police Clyde M. Bordner purchased a copy from Schull a few minutes before the pair started -for the high school grounds. A few casual words passed between them. When the men started for the high school the chief and a patrolman followed them, as though they were tracing down thugs. Seeing that they were about to be arrested the newsboys returned to the business section of the town. "Knowing that the pinch was coming, we wanted it to come where everybody could see it, and not out on the edge of town," Schull commented later. At first the boys were warned to stop yelling. They declared that they had to make a living somehow, and could not sell their papers unless they shouted. They continued to shout. The chief of police and the patrolman walked a short distance up Washington street and met the mayor. "Have you given those men warning not to shout," the mayor is represented as addressing the chief of police. Upon receiving an affirmative answer the city's chief executive said: "Don't give them a second
warning." At that they were placed under arrest and taken to the city
prison. All valuables, their papers and other articles were taken from them
for safekeeping. For one hour Schull
and Titus were locked in cells.
At the end of that time. Geonra B.I
cariey and is. H. Frase, two wellknown Fostoria residents, anneared
to give bond. And for the heinous
offense of "disturbing the peace" of the 60 per cent Catholic community
ui ujun me Don a xor release was fixed at $500 for each "criminal."
Mr. Benadum was in Tiffin at the
time of the arrests. In a statement to The Tiffin Tribune and The Daily Advertiser he declared that he had been expecting the arrest of the boys because of the recently-expressed at
titude ot Mayor Unger on the Klan.
Walter E. Kiinck, of Muncie. Ind..
accompanied Benadum to Tiffin, but did not divulge to Ideal parties what was his connection, if any, with the Klan.
Declaring in his statement to the
press that the Klan had the same right to exist in America as had the Knights of Columbus and the Jewish
order, the B'nal B'rith, Mr. Benadum
set forth the principles and purposes of the organization. Benadum said:
We will fight out this case on a
high plane, and we believe that the ultimate decision will be that the
Fiery Cross, the official organ of the Ku Klux Klan, will be allowed to
be sold on the streets of Tiffin. There
are citizens in the Invisible Emnire
Knighta of the Ku Klux Klan, in
this city and their numbers are increasing daily."
Attorney Phil B. Smithe of Newark
who was also engaged with Mr. Bena
dum in the defense ot Kleagle Court-
ner at Springfield, will assist the de
rense in the Tiffin case, it is
understood. Local counsel has also
been employed. The case for the
city will be put on by the city solicitor. It- was understood before the
trial that several Catholic lawyers of Cleveland would appear to push the prosecution.
Mayor Unger, about two months
ago, made public his attitude toward
the Klan, when he said that any members ot the organization found
parading in the streets, attending fu
nerals, or in any other way appearing
publicly in the regalia of the order,
would be placed under arrest.
The difference between the pent-up
hatred for the organization on the part of Tiffin authorities and the
fairness of Columbus municipal offi
cials is indicated by the size ot the bonds in the two cases. When Tipps was arrested he was required to furnish only $25 cash bail for his appearance, which is much more in keeping with the alleged offense than the $500 bond of the up-state town.
Tipps, it is said, was yelling loudly
in the Union station last Thursday afternoon when arrested. Mounted Officer Oscar Loos warned him that it would be necessary to quiet down.
Returning a few minutes later the
officer declared he found the salesman calling his paper as loudly as ever. "Besides, he had gathered
about him a large crowd on the concourse leading from the trains
and was hindering pedestrian traffic."
The patrol wagon was called and
Tipps, his papers and the American
flag he was carrying were sent to the city prison. He was first charged
with disorderly conduct, but Friday-H
morning before court he was re
stated on the charge ot soliciting business in an offensive manner, the officer evidently believing he would not be able to make a case on the
first charge.
While being slated Tipps was asked
by the Catholic turnkey if he was
born in this country. The prisoner
hesitated and then replied : "Certainly I was. What do you think I
would be carrying the American flag
for if I were not,
"You don't have to get so flip," the
officer replied, "because there are
lota of 'em brought in here who
weren't born in this country."
When arraigned Friday morning, Tipps pleaded not guilty to the charge read to him by Prosecutor
John J. Chester, Jr. Through?-' Attorney Benadum he obtained a con
tlnuance until Thursday,- April 26.
After the arraignment, Benadum expressed his confidence at being able to beat the city's case, saying
that as far as he was able to. ascertain from witnesses ot the arrest, none of the elements which under the law go to make up the charge were tn evidence. Immediately after his release, Tinna rnntlntid (au11 hit miuhv

CRIME AND TICE RAGING IN CHLLLICOTHE, OHIO NO ACTION TAKEN BY AUTHORITIES . Chillicothe, O., April 23. While crime, vice and bootlegging are raging in Chillicothe, O., the police force is watching what Is supposed to be the "K. K. K." headquarters, instead of doing their duty in enforcing the law. One policeman makes It a practice of standing near the entrance of this supposedly "K. K. K." hall, trying to see who the men are who happen to go into this entrance. At the same time, right under his nose, bootleggers are selling moonshine and gambling and other lawless conditions go on unhampered. Still this officer of the law (as he is sjipposed to be) pays no attention to these lawless acts but tries to get something on a man who is 100 per cent American by watching a door to see who goes in. Citizens of Chillicothe are getting wise to the condition that exists in their city, and it won't be long until the authorities will be compelled to take action. Chillicothe needs a good cleaning up and she is going to get it soon.
ACTON HEARS WRIGHT Acton, Indiana, April 24. Recently Rev. Walter Wright made an Americanization talk at the Acton M. B. Church. He made some wonderful points concerning the sanctity of the home, the necessity of Pro
testant religion and clean public
schools.
HEARST PAPER SAYS
ROMAN WORLD RULE
V'
PROGRAM BOLDLY STATED BY ITALIAN PAPER AND HEARST COPIES
BEIMOXT 1588
(Special to Fiery Cross.) Washington, D. C, April 24. The Washington Herald, a Hearst paper, carries the following dispatch from. Berlin, signed by Karl H. Von Wiegand: " 'Rome must rule the world of . reason. We are convinced that the world's welfare and prosperity will thereby be advanced in the highest degree. " "We aspire, we dream, we prepare for a new era of Roman supremacy. It is necessary to draw a sharp line between those bora to rule and those born to obey. " 'No people is more fit to command than the Italians, the most gifted and most intelligent nation in the world.' -"These and other utterances form the keynote ot the policy of the newly started Roman newspaper, the Impero, official organ' of the merged Nationalistic and Fascist! parties." This article was played up on the front page of the Herald as though there were anything new in the idea ; that Rome wanted to rule the world. Of course, there is the difference that it would appear that this waa a nonsectarian desire this time rather than a desire of the Vatican. The Vatican's desire to rule the world is as well known but perhaps has not been as openly and brazenly expressed as thlB statement of the Impero. Expressions such as these help to awaken the slumbering ones to what is going on in the circles of world power aspirants.
