LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 7. The alleged dual life of Frank James Lowry. who formerly lived In Chi
cago, was exposed yesterday, when he was arrested in this city on a charge of burglary. Lowry is well
known as a sportsman, especially
among automobile racers, and has
acted as an official at recent speed
way races. He attended nearly all the national racing events and was
known as a liberal spender. A Los Angeles business man, returning to his office, is said to have
found Lowry on his knees before the office safe, with the door wide open and papers scattered on the floor. Lowry jumped from the window and
sustained a broken leg. At the hospital he was identified as the former Chicagoan.
Cliff Durant, the millionaire automobile manufacturer, who is said to be a friend of Lowry, asserts there must be some mistake, and announces he will attempt to clear up the affair. Lowry's wife, Mrs. lleane Lowry, obtained a divorce from him here in 1921.'

Women Surprise Public With Demonstration
WHEATLAND, 111., Aug. 7. The general public was very much stirprised when it was learned that the Ladies' Organization of the Ku Klux Klan was having a big meeting and
were initiating a large class of candidates in a large field one mile east
of here last week. The urprise came not only from the fact that there was such an organization here, but the realization of the strength in numbers of that body. Hundreds of motor cars filled the big field where the ceremonial took place and a twenty-five-foot fiery cross burned on a knoll in the center as the oath of Americanism was administered.

August 2, 1776, Is the greatest date
in the revolutionary period ot American history, excepting only July 4. On the latter date the immortal Declaration of Independence was enacted by Congress by a vote ot twelve states. The delegates from New York state did not vote because the state convention giving them authority to do bo was not held until
July 9. The president and secretary of Congress authenticated the Declaration on the same day and it was duly published to the world, but the
historic document was not signed by the members of Congress until August 2, when fifty-three delegates affixed their signatures. Subsequently, the signatures of Matthew Thornton, of New Hampshire; Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts, and Thomas -Mc-
Kean, of Delaware, were affixed. The Declaration of Independence is one of the most momentous documents ever passed by popular assembly. In the truest sense it represented the rebirth of civilization and liberty. Not only did it proclaim the severing of the ties that bound the
American colonies to the mother
land, but it was a proclamation of
the principles that underlie all
free government. The Declaration,
phrased so vividly by Jefferson, was not only a challenge to the German despot who wore the British crown, but was a challenge to all political and religious tyrannies. The establishment of these principles not only
laid the foundation for popular sovereignty on the American -continent but set free great social and political forces that have emancipated mankind. It is not too much to say that every nation in the world has been profoundly influenced by the
American Declaration of Independ
ence. The events that led up to the Dec
laration moved swiftlv. A little
more than a year earlier the great political leaders in the colonies denounced any thought of independence in no'uncertain terms. Franklin declared that he never heard a word in favor of independence "from any person drunk or sober." Washington himself had given the assur- , ance that he had no thought of separation from England. As late as
tfSeptember, 1775, Jefferson was still
looking with fondness toward rec
onciliation." .But the oppressive measures and stubborn attitude of King George and his ministers forced the colonies to independence. State after state declared themselves independent, Virginia leading the way with her bill of rights promulgated in, the spring of 1776. This historic state document was a worthy forerunner of the great Declaration and included such phrases as: "All men are by nature equally free and have certain inherent rights;" "all power is derived from the people," and "alb government ought to be instituted for the common benefit of the people." Freemasonry recognizes the -Declaration of Independence as distinctively Masonic in that it embodies
with force and clarity the fundamen
tal teachings of Masonry, the great principles of freedom, justice and equality for which Freemasons in all
lands have fought Of the five members of the committee appointed by
Congress to draw up the Declaration of Independence three were Masons, Benjamin Franklin, one time grand master of Pennsylvania; Roger Sherman, of Connecticut, and Robert Livingston, afterward grandTnastar of New York. Thomas Jefferson is known to have
been a member of the Masonic Lodge of the nine muses in France, but where he was made a Mason is not shown by existing records in American lodges. Virtually all the leaders In the Continental Congress were Masons. Besides Franklin, Sherman and Livingston, already mentioned, were
George Washington, Peyton Ran
dolph, Past Grandmaster of Masons
of Virginia, elected first presiding officer, who died during the session, and was succeeded by another Mason, John Hancock of Massachusetts,
Richard Henry Lee, a Virginia Ma
son, who was the author of the reso
lutions for independence that preceded the fuller declaration. Among
the many other distinguished patriots in the congress who were Masons
might be mentioned Robert Treat Paine, Elbridge Gerry, John Witherspoon, Lewis Morris and Edward
Rutledge.
Flags and Flurries at Benton Demonstration
' a auu, Aug. i . 1 a. demonstration held by the Women of the Ku Klux Klan last Tuesday night
at Alfordsville, a large number of candidates were initiated in the order as several fiery crosses threw thetr light over the scene. Abtfut three hundred women took part in the ceremonies and one hundred Klansmen in full regalia acted as guards. Prominent speakers were enthusi
astically applauded as they spoke of the principles of the order.

BENTON, I1L, Aug. 7. Americanism was at a high pitch in this place recently when a monster parade three miles in length, of Klansmen in full regalia, marched through the
streets. Beside the Klansmen on foot, there were scores of automobiles in the parade. Each car was draped with an American flag and there were from four to six uniformed Klansmen in each car.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. ?. All records were broken for long distance parading when the Knights 'of the Ku Klux Klan marched forty miles over paved streets here last week. There were more than 2,000 Klansmen in full regalia in the parade besides bands, floats, automobiles, and mounted companies. The marchers were cheered continuously all the way upon the route.
Organization Growing Fast at Bridgeport
BRIDGEPORT, 111., Aug. 4. More than 100 candidates were initiated into the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, beneath a large fiery cross on a large farm just west of the city last Tuesday night.
