EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 11 Evansville K- Klux Klan members paid tribute to the dead" president last night by burning a fiery cross
on the bank of the Ohio, immediately across the river opposite the foot of Main street. Several thousand per
sons gathered in Sunset park and along the river front, witnessed the ceremony, standing with bowed heads as the flaming tribute to the dead chief executive was burning. Notices of the burning tribute
passed out during the day caused r
hundreds to nock to the water front shortly after dark last night An expectant hush fell over the throng
when the hour bell of the U. to. b. Kankakee sounded 8:30 o'clock. A
hmoinent later a signal was flashed
from the bridge of the revenue cutter to watchers on the opposite side of the river and the flaming cross leaped from the blackness of the
Kentucky shore.
Presents Vivid Picture
The cross, thirty feet high and twenty feet wide, presented a beautiful, vivid picture as it blazed against the inky background. It burned for
nearly thirty minutes, during which time the crowd' remained silent and
watching. When the flames reached
their height, a rowboat crept silently
to the middle of the river and a clear
baritone voice sang "Nearer, My God
to Thee." An occasional flash of heat lightning failed to deflect from
the beauty of the blazing tnoute
When the cross reached its final embers, it was towed down the river
and finally disappeared in the dark
ness.

Patriotic speaking and the burning of fiery crosses were features.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Ajigust 13. "The melting pot in America, clogged by tens of thousands of unassimilable foreign-born immigrants, has ceased to function, and
American cities are becoming veri
table alien islands," says Congress
man John L. Cable of Lima, Ohio.
"The. greatest invasion of this
country ever attempted by foreign
born persons began at 12:01 a. m..
July 1 last," declares Congressman
Cable, who has devoted, much study to the immigration question. Influx
of the quota for the new fiscal year, under the restrictive immigration law, began July 1, when fleets flying
foreign flags and carrying thou
sands of immigrants were approach
ing American ports.
Alloys Will Not Fuse "Nothing is so important to a nation as the proper selection of the kind of people seeking to make up its population. We have no room for undesirables. - The modern melting pot is ceasing to function. The alloys will, not fuse. "Of the 14,000,000,000 foreign-born in our country less than half are naturalized. About 3,000,000,000 can
not speak the American language, while an equal number can not read it. Our large cities are veritable alien islands in the United States. Even the postofflce department advertises its postal savings system in
twenty-four languages. Tens of thousands of foreign-born are here
unlawfully. Steamship companies, through the European press, are placing advertisements, indicating how our immigration laws may be violated by traveling on their lines to Cuba. These conditions should
not exist. Congress Should Act "Congress should enact promptly a national alien registration law under which those here unlawfully
should be sent back to the country
whence they came. Those un
naturalized, here lawfully, should be
given opportunity for an education
Then, if they reject our country and its constitution, let them return to the country of their choice. We have room for but one language and one loyalty to the United States."

COSHOCTON, O., Aug. 8. Before a throng of 1,000 reverent listeners a robed preacher of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan delivered an eulogy
on the late President, Warren G.
Harding, in the school yard at West: Lafayette, near here, Tuesday evening. The crowd was composed of people from Newcomerstown, Coshocton, West Lafayette and the surrounding territory, most of whom came in machines. Only twelve members of the order in regalia gathered around the flagpole while the address was given.
The occasion was also one for pre
senting a new flag to the school. It was raised on the pole and then lowered to half mast in honor of the
dead. After outlining the career of
the late President and pointing out his many qualities as a Christian and a true American, the speaker told of the Klan's stand for the flag and
things American. A fiery cross was lighted after the service. The West Lafayette meeting was held at 9:30 o'clock. Two hours later, on Hay's hill, just east of Coshocton, a similar service, which drew many people from this city, was held.
