The proposals were submitted to the constitutional convention of the state. The newspapers gnve but little space to this fact, although when the belief was that they would be adopted, these same dailies played the "news" up In glaring headlines. Change of

80 of the AMERICAN PEOPLE
The noise and tumult of opposition to the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan emanates from thoughtless, unvrasoning prejudice of about 20 per cent of the peopi'.'. The other 80 per cent are quietly doing their own thinking and firmly placing the stamp of approval on the wonderful work of the Klan. This great bo'dy of thinking Americans represents the invaluable market to be reached by the special
INDEPENDENCE DAY ISSUE of the FIERY CROSS
The Fiery Cross, the only Protestant newspaper in the Central West, gives FACTS to this great body of influential citizens, and these facts are affirmatively received by this vast percentage of Protestant minds, representing 80 per cent of the population. What could be a more fertile field for the , progressive advertiser than the receptive audience afforded through THE FIERY CROSS ?

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio, May 22. Much interest Is being manifest in this city following the report that the local Klan has more than 700 members. Although there have been no public demonstrations at this place two substantial gifts have been made to local churches by the Klan organization.

KLAN STARTS A FIGHT TO FINISH (Continued from-Page 1, Column 5)
A. I may have, I won't say. Q. Didn't Mr. Coe have1 a client who claimed to have lost money at Blake's? A. I can't recall. Q. Have you ever received complaints coming from neoDle losim? money in gambling? - "uv niuio iiiv a letter. I remember, Mr. Coe called on me in person. I don't recall any others. Q. Have you a copy of the Wilder letter? A. No, I never answered it. Q. Why didn't you answer it? A. I didn't see any reason why I should. He didn't name the loser. I remember he stated that if he could secure no action through me, he would call on the sheriff. Complaints Numerous Counsel then asked if the chief had not received complaints coming from women. After a moment's hesitation, he replied: "Yes, but I wanted their husbands to come in and file complaints." Q. You know the reputation of 251 Hennepin? A. Yes, I had some reports. Q. 250 Marquette avenue? A. Yes, but not so many squawksr Q. Did you ever attempt to "vag" them? A I done all I could with 392 men. Q. Did you ever give Nelson orders to close? A. There are general orders on file against gambling. The J attorney and witness exchanged some vigorous cross-shots here, relative to alleged specific orders to close Nelson's place at 26 Washington street, S., on January 19, about which time the grand jury quiz started by the Hennepin County Law Enforcement Association, commonly called Committee of 13, was on. Q. You make any investigations of your own, on reports coming to you? A. Yes, but I didn't knock any over. Q. "You didn't knock any over?" cried Hughes. "No, I didn't knock any over," the chief repeated, "I didn't know where to go." Attorney Hughes then directed his examination inquiring of the witness if he had any knowledge of booze saies. Reports come to me nuit.fi nftpn " replied Chief Jensen, denying upon their mention by his questioner that he had specific information against the Golden West Hotel, the Carl Schuler Hotel, or the Blue Ribbon cafe, and others. The chief testified that he had been a member of the police department more than seventeen years and was appointed superintendent of police July 6, 1921. " jjo you Know Mrs. Muriel Schwartz?" A. Yes. The attorney went back to his former lead. Q. Did you ever go out in parties where you saw liquor drank? A. I can't say. Q. Then you admit, li nnnr woo drank? The state objected, and after argument between attorneys, thn fftii rt sustained objections to questions connecting the chief of police with seeing intoxicating liquor drank. Shook Them Down Then came a witness whose testimony was the first, until that time, that had been particularly damaging to the state's case. William T. Coe, a Minneapolis attorney, told of visiting 26 Washington street, S, saw between twentv and t-a-ontv-fi, tables, with men playing cards; that the room held between 150 and 200. There was a man at the door, the door guarded by a wicket and a chain; but, he added, "I got in anyway." "I went after Blake who told me to see Jensen," said Mr. Coe. Q. Do you know Mr. Cullen, the mayor's secretary? He then told of visiting the mayor's olfice, of the mayor being busy and finally insisting with Mr. Cullen that his -client, who lost $2,200 at the Washington street gambling dive, l?e returned his money, at least $400 of it, which his client had received from hi3 wife on which to make a payment on property. That, as a result of the loss, the family was destitute and in want. "I left the mayor's office and by the time I had reached my own office, Ma-. Blake was waiting for me with the money," testified Mr. Coe. Q. Is there anyone associated in business with Mr. Blake? A. In partnership with him are Bob Hamilton and "Dutch" Nelson. Q. (By Olson) Tell me, Mr. Coe, were you employed by your client on a contingent fee basis? A. Yes, f was. Q. How much did you get out of it? The courtroom was packed and men and women were standing up two and three deep in and outside the spectator's rail. From the crowd came a general laugh when Attorney Coe said that he had received 50 per cent. Mrs. Kennedy on Stand With the attorney's testimony in the record, Defense Attorney Hughes called Mrs. Gladvs Kennwlv tn tho stand. She was on the stand over tour nours, the remainder of one afternoon and into the afternoon of tne next. Mrs. Kennedy but partially showed the strain which she had been under. She had been held virtually a rria. oner since her release from the sanity inquest three weeks before, so that threats of doing away with her by gangsters of the "ring" could not be carried out. The Glaruin Affidavit The witness related a visit by Detective Glarum to her nnart. ment, 1700 Park avenue, that while mere Mrs. uiarum called armed with revolver, that she was set upon by the caller, pounded over Mm hMi and face with fist and gun, and that
THE FIERY CROSS
Glarum stood aside, making no attempt to come to her rescue. She explained that the detective's wife waa mucn ner superior in size and strength, and that she waa paailv bested in the argument. Then came the call by Detective Cowell. who was sent out to sen ha her visit to the office of the chief of police, a demand that she sign a statement exonerating Glarum. "The statement Is untrue," swore Mrs. Kennedv on tha stanj t signed it. knowing- that If T AiA sign it, that they would make trouble lor me. Attomev Huehea re-rpan tho etota . u huu UUtkG ments the document contninoi av,o denied each one of them, including mo suuement mat sne nad never paid Glarum a bribe. Q. Did you dictate the sfatom0t this contains? A. No. Chief Jensen flirtflteri it and gave it to me to sign. Q. Had you at any time seen Mr. Jensen before the time you called at nis omce r A. Not that I remember. The witness then went on to relate that she later called Leach at his office, was able to see nim, and that the mayor told her not to worry, that he would rpb that the police would not again bother ner. "He told me that he would see the chief and tell him to let me alone and assured me they would not bother me any more," she said. Mr. Hughes then inquired of Mrs. Kennedy some of the places where she had taken up her residence. O. Did vou see litiuor server! at th Golden West Hotel? A. Yes, I certainly did. At one time I helped pack it there myself. Leach a Visitor Q. You say you know Mayor Leach. Has he ever visited your apartment? She answered that she knew the mayor before and after his election, testifying that the mayor had visited her apartment at 1000 West Twentysecond street, and at these times had furnished him with girls. Portraviner some nf the she testified to existing in the under worm, Mrs Kennedy explained that a large portion of the "business" fir the women were picked up by taxi drivers, swore that the majority them solicited and shared in the profits, as did the bellboys in hotels. The apartments were operated on an "exchange" basis, she said, and if one place was short of girls, a call would go out to another. Frank McCormick, the witness named, was the man generally credited as being able to "fix" things. Holds to Her Story Mrs. Kennedy got over another one on the state to the discredit of the state's case when she claimed she had the private telephone number of Chief of Detectives Frank Brunskill, of Minneapolis "third degree" repute. Q. You've called up that number? A. I think I have. ' The witness made similar allegations against Brunskill she did against the mayor. The witness then retold the story of herself bein interviewed by Defendants Miner and Sullivan, one the admitted E. C. of North Star Klan No. 2, and the other a deputy sheriff. ADVERTISING Pat.

Sullivan is credited with cleaning np and making a Sahara out of Hopkins, a village, suburban to Minneapolis, where he lives. Mrs. Kennedy before she left the stand kept Miner's name clear of Olson's attempt to fasten upon him the dictation of the attacking affidavit "I dictated it, he might have filled in a word or two By which to phrase it, but I take the entirn rpsnnnalMHfir
for it, as I am the one that done the actual dictating," was the most Olson coma, Dy one pass after another, draw from her. Olson hit turatn re ferring to the affidavit, state's' exniDii a. "What does the word 'mutual' mean?" he asked. She answered without hesitation, "when both parties agree." Brings in Politics Olson then attempted to connect upon Charles G. Davis, chairman of the Committee of 13. the resnnnsihllity of her coming before the JanuaryFebruary term of the Hennepin county grand jury which indicted enter or Police Jensen for neglect of duty nonfeasance in office. "I called Mr. Davis up voluntarily myself," answered the witness, "and at this time a conference was arranged between Fred L. Gray, Mr. Davis and myself." Mr. Gray headed the grand jury. She disclaimed having been promised immunity by them if Bhe told what she knew. Q. At the different apartments you had, did you conduct assignation houses? A. Yes. Q. You knew Mayor Leach? A. Yes. Concerning Mayor Leach, she reiterated that she had known him previous to and since his election, testifying that "he was more or less a constant caller." Collected Gambler's Money Frank I. Mason, an attorney, and a witness for the state at the Jensen trial, knew Mayor Leach. He told a story, substantiating Attorney Coe's. Q. Have you ever had occasion to see the mayor while representing people who have lost money in gam ming r A. Yes. The amount was ?600, lost at 251 Hennepin avenue. In the face of objections by the county attorney, he testified that the mayor had told him the matter would be reported to Chief Jensen, that he had waited a week, no action-toward closing the place was taken. The witness testified that he had talks with gamblers losing money, to the admissibility of which on the record, the court ruled that the talk of the underworld was already conceded as material in the case. Attorney Mason then told of representing a client losing $300 at 26 Washington street, S. "I had previously been able to collect on my complaints but this time, Carl Blake told me there was nothing doing, that I had pulled his leg long enough." "We got into a pretty stiff argument," the witness went on to explain, "and he told me he wasn't afraid of the police. I pressed my demands further, and he said he (Continued on Page 8, Column 3) KLAN HAT
