PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 4. Five

thousand candidates were initiated into the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan here on Monday night following a monster parade in Wilkinsburg In

which more than five thousand Klansmen in full regalia took part. A cross more than fifty feet high, and the tallest cross to be burned in this part of Pennsylranla, was lighted immediately before the beginning of the ceremonial. The initiation was held in a big

tract of land near Wilkinsburg, where 25,000 Klansmen, nearly all of whom were in the regalia of the order, swarmed over the hills around the spot where the candidates were taking the oath. The Klansmen came from many of the surrounding towns to take part In the ceremonial

and parade. Owing to the vast num

ber of candidates, the class was split

into several groups, and the lnltia

tions continued until long after mid

night.

Special Trains Are Run

The parade which preceded the

ceremonial was more than an hour

in passing a given point and was led by mounted Klansmen. Eight bands had a part in the long procession

which swung through Lincoln high

way, Pennsylvania and Koss avenues

It is estimated that at least twenty-

five thousand persons, in addition to that number of Klansmen, journeyed

to Wilkinsburg to witness the parade

Special trains a-nd. thousands of automobiles carried visitors into Pitts

burg bound for Wilkinsburg through

out the afternoon.

The demonstration and initiation was one of the largest, if not the

largest ever held In this part of

Pennsylvania, and proves the asser

tioir by Klansmen that their mem

bership In this state has long ago

passed the 100,000 mark.

Mayor Eli N. Fair, Republican,

seeking a third term as the chief

executive of Governor A. V. Dona

hey's home city. Fearing that the

"calling down" he received from the governor on May 17 may work to his discredit, Republicans have also placed former State Senator Oliver

J. DeMuth on the list.

However, when Fair was given

thirty days by bis fellow townsman in the state house to clean up the

community, he obtained the resigna

another. Things have gone better

(By Staff Correspondent) COLUMBUS, 0- Aug. 4. The

seven alleged gamblers arrested last Friday at the Columbus Driving Park oh charges of operating parimutuel machines, were arrested on

similar but separate charges Thursday afternoon by Detectives Clarence

Martin and William England of the city police force as they were1 leaving the court of Justice A. C. Kuhn, Bexley, where they had obtained continuance of their cases until Oc

tober 1.

These men were originally ar

rested on affidavits sworn out by

secret service operatives of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The affidavits could not be obtained from Justice Kuhn, in whose township the

betting and gambling is said to have taken place, until notice was served

on him by a taxpayer. . Even then he refused to serve the warrants which were handled by Sheriff Frank

Holycross.

Trial August 28 Friday morning the men were ar

raigned before Judge Seidel in municipal court. They all pleaded not

guilty and will be tried August 28.

It is understood from Attorney Horace S. Kerr and Attorney Connors, representing the defense, that

technicality will be raised to ob

tain their dismissal. It is said that

the men are twice in jeopardy. How

ever, In the cases tried in squire's

court the alleged crime was com

mitted on July 26, while those

brought into police court alleged the

committing of a misdemeanor on

July 25.

Counsel for the defense also claims

that the men were arrested on the premises , of Justice Kuhn, -which is virtually In the court and therefore

can not be held legally. However,"

they were not taken into custody by

the plainclothes men until they had

stepped onto the sidewalk. Each of them is out under $100 bond pending trial. They ar: Brad Murphy, Frank Wolfe, John Watkins, Lawrence Witticare and Cliff Wyatt of Columbus, and Richard Jones of

Pittsburgh. Three times, over the objection of Attorney Nathaniel P. Willis, who represents the Knights of the Ku

Klux Klan and the state, in the case before the justice, different dates were set for the trial of the men. Willis would agree to none of the dates. However, the court arranged with counsel for the defense to hear the cases at 8 o'clock in the evening on October 1. Attorney Willis read into the rec

ord his objection to this procedure, but at the request of Attorney Kerr it was ordered eliminated by. the

court.

(By Staff Correspondent) AKRON, O., Aug. 6. The shakeup In the city police department has come. It became effective Saturday at the Instigation of Safety Director Lloyd Carter who issued orders that

there shall be more policemen on the streets and fewer in headquarters; that Akron policemen shall not

lounge with friends while on beat duty, but keep moving.

Under the new system which is the

result of a month's study by Director Carter since he succeeded Director Warren Selby, all captains will

make tours of Inspection twice every day and every night.

It Is this feature of the shift which

has attracted the most favorable comment from law-abiding citizens

of the Rubber City. It is this method which will make It impossible for one captain to have things his own way, a condition which was brought out here two weeks ago- when deputy sheriffs raided a disorderly house. The owner told them that the captain of the vice squad had been "fixing things" for her and had

given orders to close every night at

9 o clock. Little Enforcement

While Akron has a small force for a city of its proportions, there has been a laxity of law enforcement in many branches of the service. The

many changes in patrolmen to dis

trict duty, the shifting of two head

quarters sergeants to the street and the edict that "traffic must no longer

be directed from the curb," will improve conditions, it is believed.

However, it remained for the safety director to take action. When

testimony was brought out in police court here that Captain McGuire had

ordered a disorderly house closed at

a certain hour each night, but re

trained from interfering with its

business previous to that time. Chief

of Police John Durkin was in the

room. The chief is said to have failed to take official notice of the

statements made.

Friday, Safety Director Carter In

formed the chief that the changes

would be effective Saturday morn

our country will do their bit In mak

ing the junior order as strong as ' the senior organization."

To Give Complete Details Preparations are rapidly being com

pleted in full that will open the way for young Protestant members to

begin coming into the organization

which is Just one week old and which will most probably break all records for rapid growth. Complete details will be given through channels that

will reach all American youths with

out delay. The avalanche of mail.

applications, inquiries and congratu

lations that have come down on the

heads of the officials has almost, fig

uratively speaking, taken them off their feet

An announcement of the initial

meeting to be held in Indiana during

the latter part of this month will be

made within the next week.

A new publication, the first Issue

of which will be announced in. the

not distant future, and which will be

known as "The Junior Klansmen Weekly," has already been planned

and will carry all news pertaining to

the activities of the Junior Klansmen. The publication will be in the form of a magazine rather than that of a newspaper such as The Fiery

Cross. It will be edited by Junior

Klansmen and -Milton Elrod, editor-

in-chief of the Fiery Cross, will act

as" associate editor.

The success of the Junior Klan has

already been assured. The enthusiasm manifested has been more than

gratifying to the Incorporators and

those who have worked to bring the

junior body into existence.

All letters pertaining to the Junior

Klan should be. addressed to Lock

that are working for the erection of a Protestant community house in that locality. Echo Rings Sincere Personally, we can echo with a certain large measure of sincerity the words of our own dear Hoosier poet, who loved the little ones for whom this community house is to be established : "When God sends rain then rain's my choice." Naturally, no open-air lawn fete can progress successfully in a down

pour of rain. Nevertheless, the Saturday night affair could not be called

a failure. During the few hours it

was in progress several thousand

dollars were added to the fund, and in response to thousands of requests

from the Out-of-town guests who were

disappointed, a glorified, magnified, three-day lawn fete has been planned for August 23, 24 and 25. This will

be called the Liberty Hall Rally.

This announcement seems to indicate

that members of a certain congrega

tion will find it necessary to spend

additional hours on their knees

"Conspicuous Meeting

OTTAWA, 111., ug. 7. A large and spectacular meeting of the Ku Klux Klan was held on the south

bluff overlooking Marseilles recently.

The gathering was more conspicuous than anything previously held In this

vicinity, and- there was little or no effort on the part of the members

to conceal their Identity.

By the number of automobiles seen

it was estimated that the number of

Klansmen present at the eremonies

was between 2,000 and 3,000.

general invitation extended to all business men and business men's

clubs of the city Friday, the 24th

will be Church Members day, and it

Is expected that on that day the mem

bers and different organized bodies

and societies or tne various Prot

estant churches will attend. Inas

much as the public, outside the city

of Indianapolis, are taking such a

keen interest in the project, out-of

town guests will receive special invl

tations to attend on Saturday. At

tendants at this three-day rally -will

find plenty of entertainment and

amusement. There will be Amerl

canization speeches, bands, parades,

races, fish ponds, solos, the lnevlt

able home-made candy, home-made

cakes and Ice cream. Other special

features are being planned which

will be announced later In our col

umns. All profits derived from this

big rally will be turned over to the

Liberty Han Dunaing iuna.
