Points Out Discrimination Following Parade by a Religious Sect

BELLEFONTAINE, O., Oct. 29. Last Saturday night, Logan county residents witnessed the largest and most spectacular parade ever held in the citv when 6,000 Klansmen in

full regalia marched from the Logan county fair grounds through the city. During the parade an airplane with an electrically illuminated cross flew overhead. As the parade passed a certain place on South Detroit street, a group of rowdies threw tomatoes and stones at the women, who were marching near the head of the parade. Between 15,000 and 20.000 people assembled at the fairgrounds to see the gigantic demonstration and naturalization ceremony held immediately following the parade. It was the larpest crowd that had ever

been assembled in the fair grounds, according to local residents.

The naturalization brought into the ranks of the Logan county Klan nearly 500 candidates.

A Repair Specialist on Fine Wrist Watches

I A fine watch or a valuable clock needs expert, attention just the same ns does a high-powered automobile. Occasionally they need adjusting perhaps a thorough cleaning or some trouble may have developed that needs the attention of an expert. This is where A. B. Kiewitt can serve you. He is a specialist in the art of regulating and repairing fine wrist watches, high-grade railroad watches and valuable clocks. If you have a timepiece that you value and which needs repairing or adjusting take it to Kiewitt and you may be sare that when it comes back it will be in first-class condition. His work is guaranteed because it Is always good and his prices are right. A. E. KIEWITT 2H2 Massachusetts Avenue

New Watch May Change Mind as to How It Is Worn

With a remarkably clever little attachment, just invented, a tiny watch

that may be worn in whatever manner its wearer elects, has just made its anpearanre in the window of Mr. A. E. Kiewitt, the jeweler, at 232 Massachusetts avenue. The most fickle and feminine of watches does this little newcomer in

the watch community seem to be. For, starting the day as a sedate bracelet watch, the "Versatile" may, if its owner chooses, suspend itself as a pendant in the afternoon, and in the evening perch portly on the finger as a dinner ring. "This is the first time," said Mr. A. E. Kiewitt, "that this new inven

tion of three watches in one, with a movement half the size of a postage stamp, has been shown in Indianapolis. And, though it changes its mind as to how it Is worn, it never does as to keeping time, for it Is highly recommended as an accurate timepiece." Adv.

(Special to Fiery Cross) LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 29. That one citizen In this city has entered protest against discrimination is

shown in the following letter, which was mailed to the Lafayette papers following a parade given in this city by a religious sect: Editor Journal Courier: - "It has been said of old, that "circumstances alter cases,' and that it depends also, in many cases, upon the question as to whose ox has been gored. "There was an emergency ordinance rushed through by the 'city dads' just-recently, on account, no doubt, of anticipation that the Klansmen were going to stage a parade in Lafayette. While the Klansmen, it

is evident, did not then, and do not now, believe the ordinance is worth

the paper it is written on, irom a legal standpoint, however, they saw fit to obey the pretended law, and so far, we have had no Klan parade. "But, last Friday night, October

the 19th, I personally observed with

my own eyes, from my own door, the-

Catholic citizens hold a masked parade in honor of the Sisters of St. Lawrence Church, and march from about Nineteenth and Vinton streets (or in that neighborhood) to St. Lawrence Church at Nineteenth and Meharry streets. I judged thera to

be somewhere near 1U0 persons in the parade, both young and old, big and little, and there was no person

to say nay to them. "Now, I don't object to them holding their masked celebration in the least. Really, I see no harm in it,

and it was absolutely all right in my opinion. However it strikes me as peculiar that some classes of persons can parade in masked formation and others are barred from the same thing. .J "By One Who Has Seen."

GREENSBURG, Ind., Oct 29. The parade given by the Sunday schools here last Saturday was one of the

most impressive affairs that has

been seen in this community. Each individual taking part in the march

seemed to have heart and soul in the

work that prompted the big display.

W. W. Bonner and Carl Swift led

the parade on horseback and the

latter carried an American flag. Dt rectly following them came the Bur-

ney band in a beautiful green car.

The parade was a sensation in itself and was several miles in length,

consisting of vast numbers of beau

tiful floats, symbolic of the great

work accomplished and to be accom

plished for Christianity. On the

whole, it was a wonderful and ma;

nmcent demonstration or the re

ligious forces that are working for

the welfare of Christ and the church.

There were two hundred and

twelve floats and decorated cars in

addition to many that were hot deco-

Lrated and it was estimated that the

parade was at least five miles long.

McDAVID. Fla., Oct. 29. A crowd of three thousand people attended a public initiation of the Ku Klux Klan here on the night of October 23d. The Klansmen dressed and formed at the Methodist church. At the tap of the bell the fiery cross was lighted and the robed Klansmen, two hundred in number, fell into line and marched to the baseball park. The night was clear and cool, with a full moon, and the white robes of the Klansmen made a verv innres-

PORTLAND, Me., Oct. 29 Ten thousand Klansmen and their friends gathered recently on the grounds of the Klan's seventy-five thousand dollar estate on Forrest avenue in celebration of the first anniversary of their local order, and events of interest kept the huge crowd enjoyed and enthralled from noon until midnight. The day was perfect and visiting Klansmen came from all parts

of the state to take part in the cele

bration. The grounds were swarmed all

morning long with workers, and at noon everything was in readiness for the day's festivities. - The exercises were begun by the raising of a large flag to the top of a 70-foot flagpole, the flag being raised aloft by the first Klansman in

the state of Maine. An address to

"Old Glory" was then delivered' by a veteran of the ,civil war. During the afternoon,' the midway was the popular place of attraction

and was well patronized by young and old alike. The King Kleagle of

the state of Maine gave a short ad

dress -and introduced a national speaker from. Atlanta, Ga., who gave a long and eloquent address on Americanism and was cheered to the echo by the enthusiastic crowd. Supper was served in a huge tent seating 4,000 people and so great

was the demand for seats that the

CLARKSBURG, W. Va., Oct. 2.

The largest crowd that ever thronged

tne streets of this city was on hand

to see the parade of the Ku Klux

Klan one night recently and the biggest and most. spectacular parade ever witnessed here was staged by the great American order. The parade In Itself was unique in the annals of Klandom in that a veteran of the civil war, R. D. McNemar, aged 85, of East Clarksburg, led the hosts, while one section of the parade was commanded by a major in the late world war. In the parade were veterans of the civil, Spanish-American and late world war, while the total number of those in line was , counted at more than 2,500 and an even greater number of Klansmen saluted their brothers as they passed by. Klansmen in plain

clothes on the sidelines acted as spe

cial officers in case of any disturbances, but not one instance of any sort of disorder was reported

throughout the entire evening. The crowd was orderly, although the streets were jammed and vehicular traffic was not only handicapped but in many instances actually halted because of the masses of humanity. All of the Klansmen carried blaz

ing sucks of red lire which cast an amber hue on the great canyons of

steel and stone that constitute Main and Pike streets, the two principal thoroughfares of the city. The sensational spectacle thus presented.

the like of which was never known in this section before, cast a spell over the immense throngs on the streets for more than thirty minutes that it took for the parade to pass

a given point. Crowd Comes Early Starting with the arrival of a" special train of five coaches from Chester carrying Klansmen from Hancock county and the northern panhandle, there was a continual stream of humanity into Clarksburg until nearly eight oclock. About a score of Klansmen from the Pittsburgh district arrived on the early

train from Pittsburgh, while the afternoon trains, particularly those

from Grafton and Salem, carried

more than capacity loads. Officials of the Monongahela West Penn Public Service Company stated that every piece .of equipment the company has in this section, as well as all interurban cars, were in the service, and all of these ears were not adequate to take care

of the crowds. Throughout the late afternoon all cars on city runs were crowded, but it was impossible to provide more cars, for the company

did not Rave them.

The entire crowd seemed ta be heart and soul with the Klansmen and showed their appreciation with shouts of applause at the wonderful spectacle presented by the whiterobed figures.

The burial of John McFeely took place on October 20 at Memorial Park cemetery, following funeral services held at the South" Side Christian Church, while members of

the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, in full regalia, knelt In prayer at the grave. Mr. McFeely, who was fiftytwo years of age at the time of his death, died at the Methodist Hos

pital on October 18.

The deceased was the son of Aaron

and Elizabeth McFeely and was born at Carthage, Indiana, September 9,

1871. At the time of his. death his residence was at 844 Prospect street, Indianapolis. He was married in

1891 to Miss May Worth. His widow and two daughters, Mrs. Frank Fogleman and Mrs.. Paul Hockett, and three grandchildren survive.

YOUNG ST6WN, Ohio, -Oct. 30. A tract ot ground on the outskirts el the city is reported to have been leased by the Ku Klux K' an for the purpose of erecting a large building, which will serve as .a social clubhouse and for the regular meetings of MahoniirgNKlan. It is expected that the building will be ready before real winter weather sets in. Next spring, it is

said," that a golf course will be added, giving to the organization a real country club.

Although in parts of the south the Klan has erected country clubs, the Youngstown building is said to be the first in the state of Ohio to be built by the organization.

DUNDEE, Mich., Oct. 27. The Ku Klux Klan is" gaining rapidly in this vicinity and last Thursday night a large class of candidates was naturalized in the initiation ceremonies of the order. A well-known speaker then gave a

stirring address on Americanism, patriotism, and the principles of the Klan, and his talk was received with much -enthusiasm by those present. The Klan here has among its membership many of the most prominent citizens in the community and many applications for membership are being received at this time.

MARIETTA, - O., Oct. 29. The Washington county Klan held a huge meeting at the fairgrounds today.

Klansmen from Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania began to assemble about noon and continued

to come until late in the evening.

During the afternoon there were

several speeches by national speakers with music from the bands and

quartets.-. -A big barbecue was included to take care of the hungry. All Klansmen and Klauswomen in robes assembled for the mammoth parade. Approximately 2,000 people paraded through the downtown sec

tion of town. Some 50,000 watched the parade from the grandstand and the curb. At the conclusion of the parade the Klansmen in full regalia threw a line of guards around the race track on the outer edge, while others

formed a smaller circle inside the large one. When everything was in readiness approximately 1,000 candidates were initiated into the order.

PONTIAC, Mich., Oct. 27 The Ku

Klux Klan is enjoying a rapid and staunch growth in this community and many persons who used to de

clare themselves against the order are now among its staunchest supporters.

When residents here had no knowledge of the workings of the order, except what they gained from the subsidized press, they were naturally not very strongly bent toward the organization, but since Klan speakers have been here and explained the principles of the great order, an entirely different view of the situation is now held. At the last meeting here, candi

dates numbering approximately 500, were naturalized in the initiation ceremonies of the organization and the large hall would not hold the people who came to learn more about the Klan.
