AUGUSTA, Me., Sept. 11. Dr. Lannin and F. G. Conant, of Portland, and Rev. A. B. Leigh, ol Randolph, were the speakers at a meeting held here in Golden Cross hall last week. The Ku Klux Klan was the subject of the lectures, and much interesting data on the subject of this muchdiscussed organization was brought out in the speeches. Dr. Lannin de
clared that 500,000 Masons were affil
iated with the Ku Klux Klan. and
that some of the highest officials of the city of Portland were members
of the order. Plans are now under
way to build a Klan temple in Portland, Dr. Lannin said, one that will seat 7,000 people, and will be a temple second to none in Maine. Rev. Leigh stated that while he
was not a member of the Ku Klux
Klan, he was in full accord with the
principles of the order and would willingly join if permitted to do so.
Rev. Leigh is a Methodist minister.
The preceding afternoon, at Golden
Cross hall, a similar meeting was
held for women interested in the or
ganization, when the same speakers
addressed the gathering. It was an
nounced that similar meetings would be held in the same hall in about
three weeks, one meeting for the men
and another for the women.

A new women's quartet, the Golden Queens," an organization of
local women, made their initial appearance at the Marion meet, where their offerings were greeted with re
markable enthusiasm. These ladies
have x a repertoire of very pleasing
songs, .whose sentiments will appeal especially to that class of soberminded, yet patriotic individuals who respond to the highest ideals and inspirations of the spirit of Klanism. Their repertoire includes sacred songs, parodies of the better- class, also songs of local interest, and patriotic selections. They are now

Speech Brings Applause His speech, which was full of vim, pep and patriotism, was interrupted many times with bursts of applause, and enthusiasm was at a high pitch at the conclusion of the address. On , the stroke of midnight the sound of a trumpet issued forth from the darkness and a huge fiery cross
burst forth in flame, creating another

The Klansmen, amid volleys of
shots from the members of the attacking mob, attempted to disperse their assailants.' They were rushed off the field.
In the darkness that followed the
extinguishing of the cross, lighted only by the flash of pistol shots, the
fighting began in earnest.
The Klansmen, after a short stand
against the invading crowd, fled to their motor cars. Friends of the Klansmen who had been standing among: the spectators, came to their
