Hartford City, Ind., April 21.-The city Are department received au unusual call, about 10 o'clock, Sunday evening, to a point which Fire Chief George Zimmerman states was de

scribed to him as being in the vicinity of East Second street, just south o Lick creek. When the department reached a point as near, the fire

chief states, as it could reach, the only fire it could find was that upon a cross, erected at the brow of a hill, as a part of a ceremonial said to have been conducted by the Hartford City Ku Klux Klan. Fire Chief Zimmerman and Marshal J. B. Orendorf Monday morning went to the point where the cross

had ntood. Mr. Zimmerman states

that it consisted of a pole similar to a telephone or electric light pole, upon which a cross arm had been placed, about ten feet long, at a point about three feet from the top of the

pole and twenty feet from the ground. Burlap had been placed aliout it and, from signs on the ground, it could be told that the

cross had been soaked with oil prior to lighting. It stood about S00 feet east of Monroe street. Mr. Zimmerman states that when he responded to the fire call he drove down Third street and turned around, but found no other fire except that of the cross. He states that in the vicinity of the cross he could discern a number of automobiles.

Wabash, Ind., April 24. On the occasion of he observance of go-to-church Sunday, Klansmen visited the Friends church a the -regular service and presented the pastor, Key. Ira Dawes, with a "fiery cross."

The cross, that admitted of being

electrically lighted, was placed on the pulpit and Illuminated during Mr.

Dawes sermon. This is the first public appearance of the Klan at any church In Wabash. Following the presentation of the cross, the Rev. Mrs. Ida Stautfer, of Wabash, a preacher of the Friends church, offered the prayer, after which the hooded men left as quietly and unrecognized as they

came in. They came to the church

in automobiles. The orchestra of the church, and the octette furnished music for the services and Rev. Dawes preached on

'The Dangers and Defenses of

America."

"There is no question in jny mind

concerning the mission of America," said Mr. Dawes. "America is chosen of God for the world's Christian civ ilization. The same God that called Israel into being, to give the world a Saviour, has called the United States of America into being to give the

world the ideal of the Man of Galilee. "Our responsibility, if this is true, staggers us. The possibilities of our future quicken us in our devotion to righteousness and truth. The Israel that gave humanity a Saviour died in

the day of its fulfillment. What of

the future of America? "Abraham Lincoln said, "Intelli

gence, patriotism, Christianity and a firm reliance on Him who has never forsaken this favored land, are the best way out of the present difficulties.' '"We are willing to admit that we have a high type of freedom; the rarest heritage of religion, conscience, high ideals and noble sacrifice.

"Some one has said that our great

est danger socially is the race problem; politically the lack of leader

ship; religiously, widespread indif

ference.

LIMA DECREES END

OF BOOTLEGGERS

ROBERT MORRIS

ELECTED MAYOR

(Special to Fiery Cross.) Richmond, Va., April 26. The status of the Ku Klux Klan in this state Is to be tested out in the higher courts as the result of a fine, the minimum possible, which was assessed against the Klan by the state corporation commission.

The commission held that the

Klan, which was not incorporated properly in this state, had no legal existence here and had violated the law governing corporations doing

business within the state without legal recognizance.

R. K. Spiller, counsel, notified MaJ.

Forward, of the commission, that he

would appeal to the supreme court of appeals if necessary.

The contest i3 not over the fine.

which was of a very nominal amount,

but over the question of who should

control the property and funds of

the Klan in this state. According to

Virginia law, this title reverts to the

local organization and not to the national group.

The fact that the Klan -had no

legal existence in this state, as indi

cated by the fine, invokes the law which provides no such organization

can recover in any matter where it

has failed to comply with the law.

The fine does not indicate any an

tagonism toward the Klan in this state, for the lowest possible fine

was assessed. The outcome of the case will clear up the only legal

shadow that rests upon the Klan,

which Is receiving much support in

this section.

Anderson, Ind., April 25. Reeent-' ly Alfred V. Reschar addressed the Central Ave. Parent-Teachers' Association on the responsibilities of American citizenship, and emphasized the responsibility to be more sacred and binding than ever before. He pointed out that the School Board needs the co-operation of every ' citizen and that teachers need en-

I couragement in their efforts in order

to realize the importance ot impressions made on children in the early years of their lives.

mended him upon his work in this community, especially among the young people. A communication h; ded to him

set out that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan were upholding the principles of Protestant Christianity in Blackford county. This communica

tion was accompanied by a liberal donation to aid Rev. Grafton in his work.

Following the enactment of thit incident a remarkable demonstration in the form of applause was evidenced, after which Mr. B. P. Brock sang a patriotic solo. y Hartford City newspapers seem to fail to interpret and sense public

opinion in this city; and would seem

to fail further to realize that the best citizens are at least in sympathy with the Klan and its principles.

FIERY CROSS GLARES Hanna, Ind., April 21. About

o'clock Saturday evening the citizens of this place were very much aroused

by the heavy glare of a large Are,

which upon investigation proved to be the burning of a large fiery cross

on a small hill just back of the depot

It is presumed that this means that

the Klan has established a footing in this territory, and it is stated by some that they already have a very large membership in this immediate locality.

they, in full charge, receive and handle all money with big income, and we go fifty-fifty on income, and they only make small payment down when I set them up in business; they need no experience.

Lima, Ohio, April 23. With twenty special deputy sheriffs working night and day, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan today started their war to the death on bootleggers, gam

blers and all practitioners of vice in Allen county. Before the campaign is completed, its effects will be felt in Yan Wert, Mercer and Auglaize counties as well.

Fpr three months past the Klan has been- gathering data and information of the utmost importance on

the matter of law violations in Lima

and Allen county. Officials of the organization declare that members of the city police force are in possession of the same information, but for the past three months have failed to take action. Some members of the police department are bound up, "body, boots and

breeches," as the vulgar phrase

truthfully puts it, with whisky ped

dling and commercialized vice, it is

declared. It is for this reason that the county officials were appealed to by the Klan for support in the law enforcement drive. The sheriff's office and the probate court are offering their heartiest co-operation. The special

deputies who will work under the di

rection of the sheriff have been fur

nished by the organization, it is

rumored.

The chief of police at Rockford,

Mercer county, has openly given

warning to bootleggers to cease their activities at once, or the heavy

hand of the law will fall upon them. Those who fail to heed his sugges

tion will soon realize that "small

town justice" is severe. The chief

launched his campaign simultaneously with that of the Allen county authorities.

A similar position ha3 been taken by the Klan and law enforcement officers in Van Wert, the seat of the county by the same name.

A huge fiery cross which burned

In a field at Bellefontaine avenue and Calumet street here last week-end,

served a double purpose in letting

the community know that the

Knights of the Ku Klux Klan were

established in the city and in an

nouncing the recent naturalization

of 250 members in the couties un

der discussion.

Some fearful residents called the fire department Two of the brigade wished to pull down the emblem

and extinguish the fire, but Fire

Chief John Mack prohibited them from doing so. "Let it burn; that's

the kind of thing I like," he declared,

Chrisman, 111., April 23. Robert Morris was elected mayor of Chrisman Tuesday by a majority of 40 votes in one of the most bitterly contested elections ever held in this city. Frank Savers was the opposing candidate, and both men were running neck and neck, the final outcome being in doubt until the last few votes were counted. The commissioners elected were: Roger Schnitkr, Raymond Newlin, ".Shorty" Watson and Dr. Gonwa. J. I. Boethera was elected' police magistrate.

Fiery Cross Burned. Following the election, a 14-foot

fiery cross was burned in the- city park Tuesday night. A large crowd of people was out to get the election returns and saw the burning cross, but now excitement was created, everybody viewing the blaze with unconcern. It is not known what connection the burning of the fiery cross had with the results of the election.

FutHre American Greatness. Referring to America's future

greatness, and the problem of reckless radicalism, Reschar said that

any man, "or any set of men or organization who object to the ideals

of the constitution and defy our

fundamental institutions, is un-

American, unsafe, and should not be

tolerated. We are willing to welcome to our land all men who love Hberty

and are willing to abide by our laws, j but unless they can fall in line with '

American ideals they should have a tag attached which says, 'Stay out

forever." "

Mr. Reschar further stated that the

world's most noble movement was a movement in behalf of fetter education of our boys and fiirls. in order t

that they might be equipped with the knowledge and training to meet ev- j eryday problems of life, and that the i real test of citizenship i3 whether or not a man hesitates or departs one iota from the single idea that the American public school is the school of America and the only school that teaches straight Americanism, and that the future test of genuine citi- . zenship is the willingness to help and support school growth through prop- , er taxation.
