BROWN VENTS WRATH AGAINST FRED KOIILER Former Cleveland Mayor to "Get No Favors," Secretary of State Asserts

PORTAGE COUNTY KEAN OBTAINS ITS CHARTER

Largest Attended Indoor Meeting in History of Organization Held at Ravenna

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 26. Take it from Secretary of State Thad H. Brown, it Fred Kohler, former mayor

or Cleveland, expects to become a

candidate for delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention, he will have to follow the same proce

dure as any other ordinary citizen. The secretary of state has said so in so many words. In fact, he fairly hissed them. Just why Mr. Brown should feel so bitter agaflst Kohler is not quite clear, unless it is because Kohler has shown symptoms of friendliness toward the Klan. When Brown spoke in Cleveland recently he displayed considerable spleen against Kohler. "He will have to comply with Ohio laws, and I will not make special provision for him even if it were possible," Brown is quoted as having said. "You can take this as a fact! Kohler can not file a delegate-at-large petition and get it accepted until he has done what any other vitizen must. Kohler hasn't created much of an impression in our part of the state. Hardly anyone knows of him."

It may or may not be significant

that the Cleveland Times, which

printed the story, "tied it up" closely to another article in which it was

announced that Senator Underwood would start a national campaign against the Klan in Cleveland.

HARBIGERTOFSTRIFE SHOWS AT CONFERENCE

VIOLATORS ON RUN IN

CRUSADE AT ELYRIA

$38,000 Collected in Liquor

Fines and Nearly 100 Arrests in Four Months

"RAVENNA, O., Jan. 26. The largest indoor meeting ever held by the

Ku Klus Klan of Portage county took place recently in the Ravenna headauarters. Klansmen were pres

ent from every part of the "county

and the hall was crowded to its doors.

The occasion was the presentation of the charter and the election of officers for the county organization. The charter was presented by a representative of the Imperial Palace at Atlanta. Before presenting the charter, the oflicial made an inspiring address on the ideals and purposes of the Klan and he predicted for the organization a great future in the civic and religious life of America. He complimented the Portage county Klan on its progress and said it is one of the best organizations in the state. It is announced that the new Cyclops contemplates no radical changes from the present policies of organization and promotion. The imperial representative from Atlanta expressed his appreciation of the

large number of members in such a small county as compared with the more populous counties of the state and also praised the personnel of the

membership. The junior organization recently held a "pep" meeting attended by more than 200 members and indications are that the membership will be doubled within the next few months. At the meeting of the Women's Organization last week a reception was held for the organizer. At the close the Kleagle was presented with a bouquet of American Beauty roses. Preparations are being made for the reception of the charter which is expected to be granted soon by the national organization.

TERRE HAUTE PAYS ;

TRBUTE TO VICTIM

ELYRIA, O.. Jan. 20. More than

S?.S,000 in fines for liquor law viola

tions has been collected since Special

Slate Dry Aent Klady began his ac

tivo crusade here about four months asro. Nearly one hundred arrests

have been made and of this number, eleven were charged with third offenses. These persistent violators are now serving prison terms, and several are awaiting trial. Klady formerly was service director of Lorain, but was assigned to Elyria because the authorities believed he was

one man who had the moral courage to bring about a genuine cleanup. I Scarcely a day passes without a successful raid directed by Klady and it is reported that he has been offered "flattering inducements" to I'lay off" certain bootleggers and liquor manufacturers who iiave grown affluent by their trade. - Conditions in and around Elyria, at least as regards liquor law violat'.ons, are said to be better than they have been since the enactment of the Volstead act, but the dry crusader says he is not satisfied yet. "I undertook to drive the illicit booze t rattle out of Elyria," he said, and I intend to stay right on the

job as long as there is the slightest-

evidence that the law is being violated."

PROTESTS AGAINST RELEASE OF BARNETT

Score of Toledo Civic Organizations Aid in Fight School Board Member in Bad

SI'KI'ItlSE FOR MINISTER NEW ROSS, !nd., Jan. 26. A twoweeks' revival at the Methodist church here closed Sunday evening with a surprise for the pastor, the Rev. Mr. DeBrawler, and the congregation. Just before the services cloned two Klansmen walked down

the aisle of the church and presented an envelope, containing a sum of money, to the pastor. The contribution was gratefuly received and the minister thanked the messengers. In closing the services, the Rev. Mr. DeBrewler paid a high tribute to the work of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in this community. It is said that a large per cent of the church-going persons of this city are Klansmen and Women of the Klan, and they have accomplished some splendid work in the community.

TOLEDO, O., Jan. 26. If a parole

is granted to David Barnett, wealthy

Toledoan, serving a term in Mans

field reformatory for mistreatment of six little girls, it will be over the protests of more than a score of civic

organizations of Toledo. Women's

clubs have been particularly activ

in the fight against official clemency

for Barnett and they have demanded

the resignation of William C. Carr,

president of the Toledo school board, who is said to have interceded in

his behalf.

The principal witness against Barnett in his trial was his own daughter and much of the evidence was so

revolting that many persons assert

he is unfit to be at large. He is said to have promised that in the event Of a parole he would leave the state o Ohio and never return. While no oflicial announcement has been made, it is understood that a conditional parole might be granted about February 1. It is to forestall such action that petitions have been circulated in this city and thousands of signatures are said to have been obtained.

KLASMK AID A MOTHER CLARKSVILLE, O., Jan. 26. The Klansmen of Clarksville, O., showed their charitable spirit on Saturday, January 12, when they presented to

a worthy woman with a family of small children, quarantined with the scarlet fever, a purse of $20.50. The woman was very grateful and every

Klansmen was happier for having

aided in helping someone who ap

preciated a kindly deed.

Investigation Is Made - Daniel W. Williams, a member of

the state board, who was assigned by Governor Donahey to investigate the

merits of the Barnett plea, has been

conducting an inquiry in this city for several days. He has questioned

scores of persons who are familiar

with the case and has requested all

who know anything about the case to

report any information they may

have.

Within the last few days the Central Labor Union and the East Side

Parent-Teachers' Club have enlisted

in the fight and many individuals are

known to oppose granting Barnett

his freedom.

(Continued from page 1) members who attended the meeting and were helpless to stop the proceedings, that the un-American Unity League will have charge of the questions that go on the questionnaires and which will be supposed to express the sentiment of the skilled laborers and farmers of Marion county, of which the conference is made up. Four-fifths of the members of the questionnaire committee

are Catholics and understood to belong to the un-American Unity League. That the program was carefully laid for the meeting, which was held on January 21, is seen in the fact that the men elected to office and to serve on committees had not been regular attendants at the meetings which were held regularly each month. McNamara had never before attended and others had not been in attendance for two years or more. Despite the fact that there were men there who had served faithfully, ten men were elected to fill six offices ami fill ten places on committees and to act as a delegation. Out of a total of nineteen official capacities to fill, ten men were chosen; Thomas Ware, a Catholic, being elected as trustee, delegate to the state meeting, a member of the questionnaire committee

and a member of the ways and means

committee. It was on the latter com'

nnttee that McNamara was given a

seat. Hobnn Made President

William H. Hoban, Catholic, was

elected president and as delegate to the state convention, although his

union does hot belong to the Central

Labor Union. W. H. Allen, known as most bitter against the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, was elected secretary-treasurer and placed on

the Questionnaire committee. His

union is not affiliated with the Central Labor Union. Arthur Lyday

who took a prominent part in the

rumpus last summer, when the fa

natics were tearing that body asun

der, was elected as a trustee and placed on both the questionnaire and

ways and means committees.

Harry Bassett, Catholic, who is credited with making many rash

statements during the last election, although not having attended the meetings of the conference for two

years, was present and made a dele

gate to the state meeting. Mil feal-

isbury, Catholic, was elected vice

president and appointed to places on

both the questionnaire and ways and

means committees. William Haign

who had never attended a meeting prior to the one last week, appeared

upon the scene, and was elected to

the ways and means committee. Wil

liam Jackman, who had not attended

a meeting for two years, was elect

ed to the office of trustee and James A. Leckler was given a place on the

-questionnaire committee.

Tfte-ofiices - named above were so distributed despite the fact that members in good standing and who

had always taken an active part in

the organization were present. It is

plainly seen that in the selection of

the delegates to the state meeting

plans are no doubt being made to

capture that convention.

In view of the fact that the con

erence is composed of farmers and

killed workers scattered in all

parts of Marion county, and that the

vast majority of members uo not be

icve in the tactics employed by the

un-American Unity League, it is

roblematicai as to just what will

be the result of this latest entry of

McNamara into the affairs of local

organizations. McXamara, who ha3

ever been a disturbing element in

abor circles, has caused quite a bit

commotion since he has flung

den entry into the affairs of the

Marion County Conference for Non-

those who have the welfare of the

organization at heart, bring about a

state of chaos.

Catholic Control Sought The plainly evident fact that

Catholic control of the organization

was sought when the nineteen of

fices were devided among ten men

and "loaded" with Catholics,- while

Protestants who had been faithful workers, sat in the meeting and saw men placed in office that had either never attended the meeting or had not been there for two years or

more, will, it is asserted by some, cause a friction. The conference

has never before let religion figure

in its actions and the move made by

the McNamara crowd baa pereipi-

tated an issue in the belief of many.

It is said that the movement to

gain such control as reached at the last meeting was started about eight

months ago and since that time

many good members have dropped

away because they. aid not wish- to

engage in any controversy. It would now appear that to continue the body

as a non-partisan and non-religious

organization seems impossible.

(Continued from Page 1) bandits is being done by local talent is the firm belief of the majority. Every effort is being made to apprehend the murderer. Local newspapers paid the highest tribute to Kendall and a fund has been started for the widow. According to a witness to the tragedy, Kendall was attempting to save the life

of the bandit whom he had started tc arrest when the bandit drew a gun and trained it on Harry Eascham, in

charge of the station. Newspapers are demanding that drastic steps be taken to stop the banditry which has continued since the death of the

detective with little or no abate

ment:

Mayor Davis' calling of a Metho

dist minister a "common, dirty liar," following the pastor's attack on the mayor because of vice conditions, seems to have gained the mayor no

friends. The people through the

press are demanding action. The

mayor's charge that the minister

was bringing criminals to the city by his attack on vice conditions has been upset by arrests which showed the crimes being committed in

Terre Haute by local talent.

The Terre Haute Post carried in

a prominent front page position, the

following :

"The killing of Steve Kendall is

only the beginning of the effects on human lives in addition' to the great

loss of property. The bandit, the burglar, the destroyer of homes, and

the great band of lawbreakers have

become so hardened in crime, so

void of respect for humanity, and so

bent on giving their lives over to

plundering, ' murdering and vicious-

ness that can be checked only by

drastic action on the part of our

police and other officers whose

sworn duty it is to enforce the laws

of our state and nation. Kendall, endeavoring to capture his man, without taking his life, sacrificed his

own.

His action was extremely hu

mane. But the time has come when

every police officer should be ia

structed "to get his man dead or

alive." whenever the bandit, house

breaker, or highwayman is discov

ered by the officers. The public wel

fare demands protection; the crime

wave must be broken, and the law

less element must be subdued at all

hazards.

Most Courageous Officer

"The police force need have no

fear of abundant support from the

public. We have lost one of the

best and most courageous members

of our police force. I personally

knew Steve Kendall for twenty years

He was. an upright citizen. He gave his life in protecting the life and

property of our citibens, and no ex

pense should be spared in hunting down these bloodthirsty bandits and promptly punishing fecm; by givi&g

them the extreme limit of the law.1

It is staunchly asserted here that

certain political conditions are the

cause of the banditry now rampant

in this city together with the lax en

forcement of the prohibition law, the

latter having brought disrespect for

laws. As to Mayor Davis state ment that an attack on the vice con

ditions in Terre Haute by a Metho

dist minister has caused an influx of criminals, there is no credence put

in the mayor s supposed theory

Arrests of a group of young men of this city revealed the fact that more

than fifty automobiles had been

stolen by them. Another arrest of a gang cf local men turned up the

fact that a series of safe-cracking episodes were practically all done

by local men. It is pointed out here that when illicit liquor traffic flows on practically unmolested crimes of other va

rieties follow. A disregard for law

and order has been built up among

a certain class and it is thi3 fact

hat thousands here assert that De

tective Kendall was a victim of loose

law enforcement. The string of gas station robberies continues to grow and hold-ups are making all streets

unsafe for the citizens of this city.

Death Car Stolen The charge that the alien element,

which is understood to be backing

Mayor Davis in his candidacy for governor of Indiana, is greatly- responsible for the crime wave, is in

a way borne out in the fact that the death car in which rode the mur

derer of Detective Kendall, waa stolen "at the door" of what is

known as Hunkie Town and aban

doned in Grasselli, a settlement of

foreign-born. Tne; town is sur-

sounded by "mule camps" where illicit liquor is easy to secure. Mayor

Davis will not send policemen out

of . the city limits, although .-within

two blocks of the city jail, and out

side the city limits, is a notorious place a connection with -which was responsible for the arrest of a present councilman and his conviction by federal court, ,.. " . It is believed here, that while Detective Kendall's death was not the first to occur by violence, the citizens are going to demand a clean-up of the conditions in Terre Haute which has resulted in the reign of crime and violence whleb Is engulfing the city under the administration of Mayor Davis. ,

ALIEN INSANE HEAVY COST TO TAXPAYERS

(Continued from Page 1) body. Congress seems to be convinced that altogether aside from any wrongful behavior of Fall the leases in themselves are against public policy and also flatly contrary to the mandate given by congress to the navy department for oil conservation. . Leaders in the house and in the senate, irrespective of what may happen to Fall, are on their way toward calling Secretary of the

Navy Denby on the carpet tor a strict accounting and responsibility

for the leases to Sinclair and Doheny. They point out that the naval oil reserves were confided by:

congress not to Fall, but to Denby and that the fate of the reserves is not Fall's but JJenby's responsibility from the congressional and legal

tandpoint. So we may have an im

peachment of a cabinet officer if the Democrats can bring it about. ,

To Speak ia New York President Coolidge is to leave

Washington for the first time since he entered the White House last August, when he goes to New Yprk February 12, to make a Lincoln day

speech at the anniversary dinner or.

the National Republican Club. The

address coming next month, is ex

pected to be the first of a political

nature to be made by Mr. Coolidge

since he became president.

Arrangements for the trip have

been completed by Charles D. Hilles, Republican national committeeman from New York, an officer of the club. The executive, accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge, will leave Washington at noon February 12, reach New York about 6 o'clock, attend a dinner and return

that night to .Washington.

It is planned to hold a joint con

gressional session February 27 as a

memorial service for the late Presi

dent Harding. It will likely be held

in the house of representatives

where all join sessions are staged.

A resolution has passed the house

and provides that Secretary of State

Hughes be requested to make the

principal speech and former Presi

dents Taft and Wilson will be urged

to attend as well as the supreme court justices, members of the cabinet and many governors of states are to be invited.

, The .Mayfield Case The Mayfield contested election

case has taken a peculiar turn. A short time ago the senate ordered 40 deputy sergeants-at-arms sworn

in to go over the state of Texas and

collect up the ballot boxes and ballots, tally sheets, etc., of the senatorial election held last year and send them under registered seal to Washington for counting by the subcommittee of the senate committee on privileges and elections. Each side 'in the case pieked twenty men and most ot them were residents of the Lone Star state. Now word comes from Texas thai the deputies are having their troubles. Bexar county, it is said, refuses to send the ballot boxes to Washington because another election has been held there since the senatorial election, that a special road election is about to be held and that the ballot boxes are needed. It is said that court action will be necessary to get the ballot boxes to Washington. v Ballots Burned Word also comes from Texas that in another county the senatorial election ballots were burned by mis-

lake, therefore are not to be had

It is reported that an employe was

told to destroy by fire certain elec

tion ballots and that he got the

wrong ballots and burned those of

the senatorial election. That wui

prove another handicap for the sena

torial committee.

And in one or two other counties

in Texas it is reported that special elections of various kinds are about

to be held and that the officials do

not want to send the ballot boxes to

Washington, fearing they will not be returned in time and those coun

ties do not want to buy new ballot boxes. The subcommittee of the privileges!

and elections committee was sched

uled to begin counting the Texas ballots in Washington February 11. Now it is said the ballots will not be here in time and if it takes court action to get some of the ballot boxes goodness ' knows when the ballots will all get to this city and

those that have been burned are gone

forever. Just what bearing this will

have on the Mayfield case is hard tc

tell.

(Continued from Page 1) Tided by the commissioner general of immigration, embodying family and personal history and certifying thaf the emigrant ia not of the excluded classes, and made by a physician in employ of the transportation company which would bring him to the United States; and providing a fine based on cost of transportation not less than three times such cost. Situation Obtains Throughout F. S.

Those familiar with the situation

assert that the same situation ob

tains throughout the country in like proportions in regard to the number of insane and defective aliens. In

view of the ever Increasing number

of insanity cases and like complaints from other parts of the United

States, the assertions appear to be

wen rounded.

mr. van tsensenoten s report, in

part, follows:

"On June 30, 1923. there were on

the books of the state hospitals for

tne insane 41,302 patients, ot whom 10,440 were aliens. Thus over 25 per

cent of the total population of the

civil state hospitals are aliens. Dur

mg the last ten years the percent

age of aliens has not been below 25

per cent and has been as high as 29

per cent.

"The population of the state of New York by the census of 1920 was 10,385,227. The census shows that

of this number 1,011,120 were aliens;

129,466 were given as unknown.

some of whom may have been aliens

From these figures it appears that

approximately one-tenth of the population of the state in 1920 were1

aliens. It may be fairly assumed

that the same percentage exists to

day.

"Inasmuch as the aliens constitute

25 per cent of the insane patients of our civil state hospitals and constitute only one-tenth of the population, it is seen that the aliens have two and one-half times their percentage of population in our civil state hospitals for insane.

New York Pays Enormous Toll "At the interstate conference on immigration held in New York City on October 24, 1923, Dr. Horatio M. Pollock, statistician of the state hospital commission, stated that it cost the state of New York for the fiscal yearof 1922 (ending June 30, 1922) $4,657,423 to care for insane aliens in its state hospitals, and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, $4,386,621. He further stated that

the average period of hospital residence of each alien was practically

ten -years and that it cost approxi

mately I4Z& a year to care for each

patient.

At this same conference Dr. C.

Floyd Haviland, chairman of the

New .York State Hospital Commis

sion, said that it was costing New

York state $4,500,000 annually for

the care and maintenance of alien

insane.

"The state architect estimates the present value of the state hospitals

ana equipment as representing a re

placement value above $200,000,000.

While the precise application of the

funds provided for by the $50,000.

uoo bond issue voted at the last elec

tion has not been determined, it is

estimated by those familiar with the

situation that probably at least

three-fourths of those funds will be used for buildings and equipment in connection with the insane. Applying the percentage of 25 per cent aliens, we have property already held by the state valued at over $50,000,000, and plans calling for a percentage expenditure of between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000 for reconstruction and equipment applicable to aliens. "Deportations of insane aliens can only be made in the case of aliens who have entered the country in violation of the law or who have become public charges from causes arising prior to entry.

removing aliens who become public charges."

On the failure of the federal gov

ernment to pay for deportable aliens

cared for by this state, Mr. van Benschoten says: " .

'The data, especially prior to 1912,

were far from complete, but there

were secured individual schedules for 31,861 patients showing unpaid

balances due the state of New York

from the United States from 1882 to

August 1, 1921, aggregating $17,247,-616.71."
