I. CLEVELAND ,Ohlo, August 12. The news thai the Klan of Cuyahoga county held n big initiation last week on the roof of a downtown building In thla city has stirred the frenzy of Edwin V. Barry, safety director, and he has announced that he will make a "personal investigation" of the affair. The attention of pedestrians was attracted by the sound of nearly five hundred male voices lustily singing hymns, and, when they looked skyward, they beheld an Immense fiery cross on the roof of the building. The safety director and other city officials, who are Roman Catholics, have declared the Klan shall not hold a parade in Cleveland.
CATHOLICS TRY TO -BREAK UP MEETING
Knights of Columbus Make Three Unsuccessful Attempts to Rout Ku Klux Klan
ARLINGTON, S. D., Aug. 11. Rome tried to bluff here the other night, but the Americans of this city called thrir bluff, and despite the fact that Knights of Columbus made three attempts to break up the meeting, the Klan went right ahead nd conducted its meeting.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Politics was injected into the recent annual session of the Loyal Order of Moose, which took place here last week. Members of the order resent the slight they say Governor Smith administered to the organization. In sending his regrets to the Moose officials for his inability to attend and address the order he sent as a substitute James A. Hamilton, secretary of state. Ordinarily this duty would have fallen to the lieutenant-governor of the state, George R. Lunn, who has held high office in the order. But It happens that Mr. Lunn is a possible rival for the Democratic nomination for governor, and it is suggested that the late Roman Catholic candidate for president possibly saw too much publicity for a rival who might oppose his political plans. At any rate, he delegated the secretary of state to represent the state of New York Instead of the lieutenant-governor. Rival Came Anyway Mr. Lunn, however, came anyway, by right of being a staunch member of the organization interested In its work and its welfare. When both the lieutenant-governor and the secretary of state appeared
I upon the platform to welcome the
conveuiiou 10 iew iorK me situation became apparent to the delegates. It was Immediately whispered, according to members of the order, that Mr. Lunn was not delegated by the governor because of the rumor that he might enter the lists against Mr. Smith in the fall to become governor. This supposed action on the part of Mr. Smith was regarded as being in the nature of a slight upon the order. To add to the ill feeling reports were current that the governor had been In New York City all the time.
Above is pictured a section of the audience which heard Imperial Wizard Evans deliver an address in Racine, Wis., recently. The occasion was a big Klan picnic and barbecue which was attended by many Klansmen from different points in the Badger state. There were also Klansmen and Klanswomen from surrounding states In attendance. The growth of the Klan has been much more rapid in Wisconsin in the past few months and the organization is forging ahead nicely. The recent purchase of & magnificent home by the Klansmen of Milwaukee reflects the growth of--the Klan in Wisconsin.

NEW YORK, August 12. Bradley Buell, secretary of the N.w.York City Council on Immigration Education, in a paper prepared by him for the merchants' association, commends the recent legislation passed by congress and predicts it will have a most beneficial influence towards assimilating the 2,000,000 foreignborn residents of New York City. "As far as New York City is concerned the new law makes it possible for the first time to really concentrate on the very fundamental problem of education and assimilation." says Mr. Buell. "New immigrant have come in so fast that the most effective work has been swamped by mere numbers. Few people realize that nearly 2,000,000 in the city were born in other coun
tries, and as many more are children of parents who were born 1
abroad and that the two together
total 77 per cent of the city's population. It is estimated, however, that ! of these 2,000,000 only 4 per centl have ever 'attended public evening .
schools for instruction in English. Another illustration of the pressure of numbers is the fact that at one time last winter the courts in Brooklyn weri nearly 10,000 cases behind in hearing applications for citizenship, and the courts In Manhattan 5,000 in arrears. Advantage of Limitation "The enactment of this law finds New York with about 700,000 adult immigrants who have never learned to read or write English. This year there have been between 1,000 and 1,200 classes in English to foreigners in evening elementary schools -and 135 day classes. The average attendance has been about 40,000, but this includes a very large number who came only for a few days and then dropped out. "Ry limiting the number of immigrants who will come in the new immigration laws gives . organized education and social work its first real opportunity to help the foreigners already here to take a more intelligent part in the life of the city. New York now has 390,000 immigrant Italians, 194,000 Germans, 33.000 Swedes, 26.000 Czechs. 10,000 Finns, several hundred thousand Russian and Hungarian Jews, 24,000 Norwegians and 10,000 Spaniards, and groups of 5 to 5,000 from every other country in Europe. There are more than 180 foreign language newspapers, and in the office the council of Immigration education there are records of more than 600 national and racial organizations."
Archbishop Curley of Baltimore Made Member Pope Objects to Poem
Organization Forced to Allow 'nns toT)raw Pny as N arses and Wear Somber Garb of Church
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. At a recent meeting of the general board of the American Red Cross here, Roman Catholic Archbishop Michael J." Curley, whose throne is in Baltimore, was elected a member of the board of incorporators of that body. Bishops McDowell of the Methodist church and Freeman of the Episcopal church and Senators Capper of Kansas and Simmons of North Carolina were also elected to membership, but they are American citizens. The Roman hierarchy has for many years been connected with the Red Cross. Cardinal Gibbons long held high official station in the Red
Cross.
SCHOOL FOES LOSE WASHINGTON FIGHT
Catholics Fail to Remove Names
From Petition Supreme Court Interferes
Kipling Offended Pope Consequently, when the Red Cross Magazine, during the world- war, published one of Kipling's poems tin John Bunyan, the papal organization quickly whipped that periodical into unconditional surrender and pehance and apology for this offending couplet from Kipling: "The pope, the swithering neutrals, " -Tbe kaiser and his Gott Their roles, their goals, their naked souls, He knew and drew the lot." In August, 1917, the Federation of Catholic Societies held its annual convention in Kansas City. The national secretary showed in his annual report that the federation had compelled the Red Cross to place Roman nuns on its payroll as nurses
in their melancholy-looking church robes instead of the uniforms that other Red Cross nurses were required to wear. The same report showed that the Catholic federation had learned that a Red Cross chapter was including a Testament in each of the comfort kits it was giving to soldiers in the military service, and that the papajorganization had exacted assurance that bo more Testaments would be so included.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Aue. 12
kThe Protestants of Washington have
won a victory after a most strenuous fight over the public school question. The supreme court of Wasfi-
iusiou nas granted a writ of prohibition restraining the secretary of state from removing. 7,000 names
from public school petitions.
This means that the Dublic school
bill will go on the ballot in November and that the voters of Washington will have an opportunity to ap
prove the proposed constitutional
amendment, which will require com
puisory attendance in the public schools of this state. The opposi
tion naa filed 7,000 withdrawal
names and friends of. the bill went
to court and obtained an injunction
Opponents of the school bill caused 7,000 signers of the petition
caumg, for a referendum to with
draw their names from the petition. They accomplished this through threats of business and social boycott. But the effect of the supreme court's ruling prevents the legal withdrawal of these petitioners.

RUM SMUGGLERS BALK AT "DOPE," CHINESE
CATHOLIC WEDDING ANNULLED BY POPE
ROUSE CINCINNATI TO SCHOOL NEEDS
Klansmen Succeed inCreating Feeling for All Protestant Teachers
CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 12. The Increasing arrogance of city officials in their attitude toward the Klan at last has awakened many Cincinnati Protestants who never before could see any need of the Klan. There Is a great revulsion of feeling In the heart of the average citizen regarding the conduct of the public schools. Until a short time ago politicians used the schools to Buit their own purposes. As the Roman Catholics have been most active in politics, they have carried out many "deals" detrimental to the public schools. However, since patriotic citizens of Cincinnati became imbued with the Klan spirit the bootleg Industry has slumped and many other forms of law violation have become Increasingly difficult. There Is a growing sentiment for Protestant teachern In thn mihil
schools, and Protestants are taking
u acuve interest in many matters to which they heretofore have been seemingly Indifferent.
This Interest Is reflected in the marked Improvement already attained In the conduct of public affairs, which too long-were left to Roman Catholics, politicians or non-
-roistanta.

ATLANTIC CITY, August 12. Dry agents run against many curious twists in the minds of those who engage in the rum-running industry, but it remained for two young skippers of the rum fleet operating in these parts to offer most novel reasons for quitting the business. "Buying liquor on rum row and bringing it ashore to relieve the suffering of the ( thirsty is one thing, but carting ashore narcotics and Chinese is something different," they said on being questioned for their
reasons for quitting the rum traffic. The skippers asserted that several hundred Chinese have been landed from ships in the vicinity of Mullica river and other points along Great Bay, which determined their decision to cease all forms of law evasion. ILLINOIS HAS A NEW K. K. K. DAILY PAPER ROBINSON, 111., August 11. Word has reached Klansmen of this city that a daily newspaper is to be started at Hoopeston, 111. It will be the official rgan of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of that town and county. Its editor is said to have been In charge of a Klan magazine in Indiana.
KLANSMEN!
V7e appeal to yon to patronize the persons and firms advertising In The Fiery Cross. True, not all such advertisers are Klansmen. Yet, they are friendly to us, or they would not advertise -, in our publications. Sdme are not members because of our own restrictions as to nativity. We would not, If we knew it, accept an advertisement from any one who Is barred by our moral restrictions. Before making your next purchase scan the columns of The Fiery Cross nnd any other Klan publication that yon may have at hand, and see, if you can find what you want advertised in The Fiery Cross. Then, when making your purchase, endeavor to let it be known to the advertiser where yon saw his advertisement, and thns show him that yon appreciate his friendly interest in our organization, whether he is a Klansman or not. It is constantly drilled Into us through lessons In Klaukraft that we should "Return Good for Evil." Let's do that, but, at the same time, let us return good for good, and patronize those who patroaiz us.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Aug. 11. Just five days after Cardinal Dougherty of this city had delivered a de
nunciation ot the diverce evil at the laying of the corner stone of a Roman Catholic building, the daily press announced that the pope had annulled the marriage of Anna Gould to Count BofiTde Castellane. Nothing could much better illustrate the insincerity of all the statements of Roman prelates against divorce. They boast that the papal government does not grant divorces and deplore the frequency with which they are obtained in other Jurisdictions. . It Is true that Rome does not grant divorces. As in the Gould-Castellane case it declares that marriages; of which wealthy Roman Catholics grow tired were void from the beginning for some cause that is usually imaginary. The innocent party is thus branded with the stigma of having lived in illicit relations with her spouse and is shorn of any legal rights resulting from the marriage. 00-YEAR OLD CHURCH SCENE OF KLAN RITES LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 12 About 1,200 residents of Fayette county attended a Klan lecture and ceremonial at the Republican church, about five miles south of here, recently.
