CARLISLE WITNESSES PARADE BY WOMEN
CARLISLE, Ind., Aug. 21. Threats from the organized opposition did not stop the large parade of the Women of the Ku Klux Klan here one night last week when 500 of them marched through the main part of town, guarded on each side by American, men. It was reported that attempts have been made to intimidate the women
in various ways recently, and their members and meetings have been molested by alien forces of men, the main figure in the opposition, it is alleged, being a well known physician, who declared that the women should not ,march. The parade, however, was held and witnessed by large crowds. The women received much, applause as they marched.

(Special to The Fiery Cross) LAPORTE, Ind., Aug. 20 That Americanism is coming to- the fore in Laporte was evidenced Saturday night when the Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan held their second parade
here.
Approximately 500 Knights paraded. They marched in column of
twos and received a hearty welcome
when they first came upon the scene. One of the biggest demonstrations of
approval was carried on when the little red schoolhouse, mounted on a motor truck, passed.
The approach of the marching Klansmen was announced by the music of the city band. The strains of music that came from their instruments and the sight of the fiery cross as it made its approach to the waiting populace, estimated at 10,000, was a most inspiring and patriotic scene, to say the least. A Klansman, mounted on a horse, headed the parade, followed by the burning fiery
cross. Composed of Representative Citizens A prominent citizen was heard to
remark that the Klan was certainly-
composed of representative citizens. He could see who some of the Klstasmen were because their visors were worn turned up. There were many who marched with open faces and quite a few marched in their civilian clothes. Many remarks of praise were heard from different sources and this one demonstration should add a considerable number of members to the Laporte Klan. Streets Jammed With Cars The streets contained so many automobiles that it was found necessary to park the cars In depths of
twos on both sides of Lincolnway where the main line of the march was carried on to a very successful completion. The side streets were lined with cars and it was practically
impossible to find a place to park unless one arrived downtown at an early time in the evening. In fact,
crowds began to assemble two hours before the Klansmen appeared.
Klansmen were present from many
other towns.
The Klan is becoming better known and is receiving a cordial welcome in
Laporte.

EDINBURG, Ind., Aug. 20. The Klan has declared war on 'bootleggers in Johnson county. This was learned when another series of raids took place last Saturday and arrests made and liquor confiscated. The arrests followed others made here recently and arrests at county fairs near this place.
The raids Saturday were con
ducted by Deputy Sheriff Taylor,
Tom Bottom, marshal of Franklin
and a Klan investigator. One of the
places visited by the officers was
the home of Charles Mason, 204 Keeley street, where a quantity of
liquor - was confiscated. Mason was not at home and the warrant could not be served at -thai time. A quantity of Jamaica gingen was found fn
safe, together with other liquor,
and in a shed on the premises empty boxes" that had contained bottles of
Jamaica ginger. It was believed by
the officers that Mason w-as then out
after a supply of liauor.
Wine Is Confiscated Anton Bossmeier, alleged druggist,
who is said to be operating without
license, and who is looated at 200
South Holland street, was arrested and is now at liberty on bond. At his place there was found a large
amount of Jamaica ginger in a glass
jar which was labeled as a popular
soft drink. Five gallons of wine "were also found at this place and a filled quart bottle labeled whisky. About
two hundred two-ounce bottles whiclr
are thought to have contained Ja
maica ginger were also found by the
officers.
Bossmeier is said to have told the
officers that he paid boys one cent each for gathering up the bottles for
use again. Receipts show that Bossmeier was receiving from ten to fifteen- gallons of ginger each month. He said that he had told
the drug company of whom he purchased the ginger, to "shut him off when they thought he was buying
too much.
It is known ''that young men have
been buying Jamaica ginger and taking.lt to certain pool rooms and
placing it in soft drinks. This praCr
tice, it is said, has Increased at an
alarming rate. Also it is alleged that boys buying Jamaica ginger of Bossmeier would also buy a bottle of some soft drink and go outside to
mix them.
More Arrests to Follow That more arrests will follow is
felt sure as it has been rumored that Klan investigators have been at
work here for some time past. Bootlegging has increased in this vicinity at such a rapid rate that the Klan has started a war on the illicit dealers in liquor in this county. To date the organization has made good
headway in its cleanup and the purchase of liquor is much harder than a short time ago. It is understood that much trouble has been experienced in trying to "land" Mason and that three war
rants were issued for his arrest before it was effected.
THEY 'LOVE CHURCH'; FLY ITALIAN FLAG
MARION, 111., Aug. 20. Declaring that they "loved the . United States but that they also loved their church," a number of Italians in the west part of the city displayed an Italian flag on a pole forty feet, high
one day last week while an attempt was being made by them to organize
what Catholics there are in this city into a congregation. There is no Catholic church in this city. It is said that the Italians had been warned of the danger of . floating a foreign flag from a high staff without placing an American flag above. No heed was given this warning, it is understood, and on last Tuesday night the flag was torn down. No disturbance accompanied the removal of the flag, and the Italians have erected an altar and are cele
brating the "Feast of the Assump-
sheriff has given them to erect another flagdisplay on it the Amer-

ORANGE COUNTY KLAN IS GAINING RAPIDLY
ORLEANS, Ind., Aug. 21. One of the largest crowds ever gathered together in Orange county surged to the Chautauqua one evening last week to hear a nationally-known
speaker give an address on the principles of the Ku Klux m. The speaker delivered a masterful talk and drove home nft,ny facts of existing conditions throughout the country that the general public was not aware of. He was applauded continuously throughout his discourse and at the conclusion of his speech the heavens vibrated with the cheers from thousands of throats. The day following the address the local office of the Klan was swamped with applications for membership, and Orange county citizens are flocking to the great American order daily. A large fiery cross was burned after the speech.
