MEETINGS AID GROWTH

OF W. VIRGINIA KLAN n (Special to "The Fiery Cress) SISTERSVILLE, W. Va., Sept. 2. The Ku Klux Klan. ot Tyler and Pleasant counties has experienced an encouraging growth during the last few weeks. A mammoth demonstration, was recently held at Midtflebonrne, the seat of Tyler county. More than 7,000 persons went to that town for the meeting. Rev. A. Bailey delivered a stirring address on the principles of the Klan and a large number of men and women filed applications for membership. Rev. Bailey also-spoke at Sistersville, Friendly and St. Mary's jduring his visit in this field. Klan meetings have since been held at Friendly and Ben's Run. Thousands of people have flocked to these gatherings. A number of demonstrations are scheduled for dates in the near future. It is not an uncommon sight to see a fiery cross blazing through the darkness from a hilltop every night. In Durango City, Mexico, ice is made by pouring water into the shallow cupping surfaces of century plant leaves laid on the ground, where it freezes when the weather is not cold enough to freeze water placed in domestic utensils. 100 Rinq t fin FaHi ThrM fat- SIA.M Solid platinum Mirttli Hirer Tins.

An orig inal copy complete of the oath of the anti-Klan organization, in Okla homa has been obtained here.

The death penalty is prescribed for any member who votes for a Klansman for any office. Following is the text of the oath without changes in spelling: "I solomly swear before God and man, that I will keep the secrets of this order until death ; "I further more swear before God and man that in the penitentiary or on the gallos I will not betray any member of this order; Will -Execute Justice" "I solomly swear before God and man that if I betray any member of this organization. 1 am willing to suffer any penalty that this body may place upon me; "I solomly swear before God and man that I believe with all my-heart, that any member that should betray this organization ought to be punished even unto death; "I solomly swear before God and man that I will do all in my power to execute justice upon any per son who betrays this organization; "I solomly swear before God and man that I wTIT go by day or night to rescue any member or his family of this organization; "I solomly swear before God and man that I will not invade or intrude upon any member or his family of this organization; "I solomly swear before God and man that I will ,not reck or steal the virtue of any member's wifeor daughter.

UPHOLDS RIGHT OF

FREEDOM QE SPEECH (Continued from Page 1) apply to a judge of the court of appeals for a dissolution ot the order. Patriotic, Tolerant In giving his decision Jadg Barker said: The copy of the lecture which the plaintiff delivers, filed as a part of the record, exhibits a deliverance unobjectionable In language and In spirit as patriotic and free of religious, political or racial Intolerance as any' of the published utterances of Jefferson or Lincoln." The fight of Dr. Lougher is the climax of a prolonged series of arrests and personal intimidations carried on against him hy petty officials and politicians. Bates Back to 1923 The' present suit for a restraining order against the city of Louisville is a result of the arrest of Dr. Lougher on Friday night, September 21, 1923, fifteen minutes before time to speak cm a vacant lot adjoining Cadle Tabernacle. Several squads of policemen assembled near the lot in the early part of the evening and arrested Dr. Lougher, who "was ad vertised to speak on "What the Klan Stands For." Judge Lafon Allen refused to grant an Injunction earlier in the day restraining the officers from interfering with the address, and as the time approached for the meeting, the officers were on the job waiting for their prey. Thousands of persons came to the lot but were halted by thepolice and told to drive on, as there would be no Klan meeting, that the speaker had been arrested. Sixty policemen and detectives wero stationed within a block of the tabernacle. At 7 o'clock all traffic was cut off on Walnut between Sec ond and Third streets. Pedestrians were barred from the sidewalks on the north side of Walnut, while those on the south were kept moving. A line of policemen guarded the front and rear of the lot and no one was permitted to stop thereon. HERRIN QUIET AFTER . THUGS RILL KLANSMEN (Continued from page 1) ing Circle, a Roman Catholic organization formed to fight the growth of the Klan in Williamson county. Many of the men under indictment here for various crimes are members of that organization. Members of that organization are believed to have started the trouble and shooting here on Saturday which resulted in the death of four men said to be Klansmen. These men were shot down on the street much in the same way In which Cagle died. Wants Troops Held Despite the fact that all is quiet. here at this time Sheriff Gallaghan insists that the troops be held here. It is known that large amounts have been posted by the underworld in St. Louis, members of which make their headquarters in Herrin under the present administration, for the killing of certain Klansmen. Part of this money is said to have been made up by members of the Knights of the Flaming Circle, of which Gallaghan is a member. The state's attorney bitterly denounced the Klan and stated that the Protestant ministers of the county were responsible for the condition which exists. His statement, in the face of the thug-infested area in Herrin which Herrin can not help under the present administra tion came as a blow to the better element. To accuse ministers of causing the vice and murders in the county seems almost unbelievable to some persons. Newspaper stories going out of Herrin since the riot started by the aliens Saturday, in which a number of Protestants were murdered, are highly colored to suit the needs of the alien influences attempting to kill the Klan organization. The truth of the matter is that alien thugs started a riot in which a num ber of Klansmen -were killed. A number of Klansmen were killed which was the purpose of the riot more were arrested and afterward released and Sheriff Gallaghan was arrested on a warrant charging murder. Herrin is today quiet and if the alien population and the thugs from St. Louis and other large cities who nnd haven here, were removed Herrin would remain quiet. BUFFAL0 MAYOR DIS MISSES PROTESTANTS (Continued from Pago 1) matter is, that the Klaa organization has been growing at a tremendous rate throughout the state of New York and Buffalo now has thousands of members within her corporate limits. Ghastly Show ot Intolerance Much criticism has been heaped on the head of Mayor Schwab for his arbitrary action against the Protestant policemen. It has, how ever, awakened many Protestants to the fact that they are now periled by the acts of the Roman hierarchy wnose intolerance now basks in the sunlight of publicity. Buffalo Is now being treated to a ghastly show of rank intolerance when men are sum marily ordered dismissed from the payrolls of an American city because they are accused of aligning them selves with a Protestant organlza on.

BIAS(MCaTHH)llAL? FAILS IN ST. LOUIS High Explosives Found Near New Scottish Rite Building Police Investigating

Attempt to Dynamite Klan Home a Year Ago Recalled Phone Call Leads to Detection ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 1. What police believe was a plot to damage or destroy the new $1,500,900 Scottish Rite Cathedral, located at 3623 Lindell boulevard in this city, miscarried last week with the finding of a suitcase filled with nitroglycerin and other high explosives near the walla of the new edifice. The suitcase contained six bottles of nitroglycerin, one of gunpowder and one of hydrochloric acid. It is believed that the vandals were interrupted while preparing to plant the explosive in the building. An anonymous telephone call received at the Laclede avenue police station led to the police finding the suitcase. Net First Berab Plet . A man giving his name as Harry Stansbury, -whom detectives have as yet been unable to locate, telephoned the desk sergeant that he believed "there was some mighty powerful and dangerous stuff alongside the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Special officers were sent to Investigate, and returned to headquarters with the suitcase and its contents. This was not the first bomb plot which alien enemies of Protestantism have attempted in St. Louis. A year ago, the Kleagle of the local provisional Klan received word that the hall on Lafayette avenue, where the Klan was then holding its meet ings, would be bombed from the air while thj? next regular meeting was session, by members of the Eagan Gang," an organization which has terrorized the town for four years. An Elegant Structure Klansmen and police posted guards about the building armed with revolvers and high-powered automatic rifles. On the same night the airplane of one of the leading gangsters was wrecked while "taking off" from a field outside the city limits, and the pilot was taken to the hospital suf fering with a Broken arm. The new Scottish Rite cathedral was but recently completed, and is one of the most imposing structures n, St. Louis. It stands in the heart of the city near the Moolah Shrine temple. JUDGE CLEARS KLAN OF DBORDER BLAME Catholics Who Interrupted Meeting of Klansmen Held Re sponsible for Rioting BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 1. Inves tigation of the recent rioting at Haverhill, Lancaster, and other Mas sachusetts towns, incited by Catholics who tried to break up meetings of the Klan, have proven that in every instance the Klan acted always within the law. Search of police records show that 12,661 permits have been issued this year for the carrying of firearms, and when Klansmen were searched during riots each one having firearms was found to have a legal right to do so Captain George A. Parker, com mander of the state police, says the state has no right or power to stop Klan meetings, unless Article XIX of the constitution is amended. The article provides "The people have a right, in an orderly and peaceful manner, to assemble to consult on the common ground." In order that Klan enemies might not misconstrue the recent ruling of William A. L. Bazeley, commissioner of forest conservation, forbidding temporarily, the lighting of fires or fiery crosses In the open, Mr. Baze ley has announced the action was "taken only in the interests of the forest lands, in view of the dryness everywhere caused by the long period of hot weather." Judge John J. Winn of the Dis trict Court, in conducting an Inves tigation of the various affrays, declared that "People have the legal right to hold meetings and express their own notions if they do so in an orderly manner, and no" one has the right to interrupt them. "If the notions of people are false and wrong, such wrong views and notions will in time destroy themselves and I have no sympathy at all for any one who tries to disrupt any meetings conducted orderly." Judge Winn's ruling clears the Klan of blame for the riots and indicts the Catholic hoodlums for attacking the citizens peaceably assembled. A WORTHY AMBITION Little children hay e oft-named peculiar "occupations" as their ambition when they grow Into manhood and womanhood, but it remained for a three-year-old girl of Sedalia, Ind., to choose one which would keep her in the limelight if nothing else. While watching a Klan parade recently, in company with her parents and five-year-old brother, the brother remarked that when be grew up he Intended to be a Klansman. The mother then asked the little daughter what she intended to be upon reaching womanhood. "'Well." replied tne child, "when I grow up I am going to bo a parade." '

LEGION STANDS BY

ALLEGED KLANSMAN Oust Adjutant After Fight on American Color Bearer of OrganizationELOOMFIELD, la., Sept. 1. After he failed in his attempt to prevent Eldon 'Axtel, color bearer of the lo cal American Legion post, from having the privilege of carrying the flag in the parade at the state convention of the Legion, now in session at Ottumwa, Samuel Wray, adjutant of the local post, resigned. Wray was anxious to deprive Axtel of his privilege, because the latter was suspected of being a member of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Recently Wray openly accused Axtel of heing affiliated with the American order, but Axtel neither confirmed nor denied the adjutant's charge. The matter was brought to the floor of the last regular meeting held here last week, and for a time verbal fireworks were in vogue. Legion Supports Axtel Axtel arose to defend himself, when Wray declared that the former had no right to speak in meeting as he had not paid bis does: Immediately the accused produced the dues money and demanded a receipt, which was given. Then Axtel defended himself. Commander Randolph Hinkle of the post declared after the argument that any man who served in the world war and had an honorable discharge from the military or naval service of the government, had a right to carry the national colors on any occasion, anywhere. The case, was then put to a vote and the entire Legion membershin here supported Axtel and his right 10 carry tne nag in the Ottumwa pa rade. Seeing that he was defeated in his purpose and that the membership was against his attitude, Adjutant wray tendered his resignation, wmcn was accepted as readily as Axrers. right was upheld. wray Is a clerk in the Bloomfleld postofflce. He recently made the statement that he knew every Klan member in this community. ILAN SAFE ROBBED AND PAPERS TAKEN Thieves at Ashtabula Break In to Headquarters in Quest of Secret Records ASHTABULA, a, Sept. 1. Bv the am or nngerprints on the safe, police hope to establish the identity of roDoers who recently looted the vault in Klan headquarters here of approximately $500 and valuable papers. It is the belief of some Klan officials that the secret reeords of the organization were more desired than the money, and the police are basing their investigation upon this theory. The combination was wrenched off tire safe, evidently with a crowbar or pipe wrench, and the "opposition theory" is strengthened by the fact that papers of no value to Klan foes were strewn about the floor. The robbery Is believed to have taken place In daylight, and it is said the investigators have discovered some important clews. The fingerprints on the safe were photographed, and Klansmen are co-operating with the authorities in the investigation. TRIES TO BURN HOME OF AMERICAN FAMILY MOOSE LAKE, Minrr., Sept 1. An attempt was made recently to burn the home of Major and Mrs. D. B. Lynch. Mr. Lynch was out of town and his wife was attending a lecture on "Americanism," and it is thought that the firebug who attempted to destroy their home by fire Is not in sympathy with this idea. The fire was discovered by Mrs. B W. Davenport, Mrs. Lynch's mother, who had also attended the meeting but left before it was over. Upon en tering the yard she noticed someone sneaking around the rear of the house. She went immediately to the back porch, where she found clothes basket full of old newspapers on fire. . After extinguishing the fire, she discovered that entrance to the porch had been made by slasHing the screen door with a knife and lifting the latch inside. DIRIGIBLE HINDERS RUM-RUNNING CRAFT LAKEHURST; N. J., Sept. 1. The naval dirigible Shenandoah, returning from Narragansett Bay to its hangar here, revealed by accident that lighter-than-air craft could be easily converted into rum chasers. Beating seaward to get around various electrical disturbances reported in its homeward path and flying at about 600 feet the Shenandoah was about twenty miles off Point Judith on the Rhode Island shore. Suddenly the powerful ray of the searchlight in the control gondola picked up three rum-runners, their cockpits piled high with cases of contraband. The three boats scattered at once. The skippers, probably familiar with the new use marine patrols were making of machine guns, seemed to regard the great silver bag over head as a new "sky tank" the prohibition authorities had conjured up to accomplish their destruction. From 1 to 20 per cent ot the fuel used in ships is wasted through the retardation of speed by the algae and barnacles on ship bottoms.

MKBIGAN TO VOTE

ON SCHOOL MEASURE Citizens Organize to Put Amendment Over Sept. 9 Bill Aids Public Schools DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 2. Defeated once, handicapped later by clever political trickery, the friends of the public school are arising again with greatly-renewed strength to secure a constitutional amendment in Michigan requiring attendance at the public schools of the state of all children through the eighth grade. Suc cess of the movement is believed near, and the placing of the amendment upon the ballot for the September 9 election is one of the biggest steps taken after the foes of public and liberal education exhausted their means of seeking to stifle the movement. , Text of Amendment The proposed amendment, put for-' ward by the Public School Defense League, is as follows: "Section 16. From and after August 1, 1925, all children residing in the state of Michigan, between the ages ot 7 and 16 years, shall attend a public school until they have graduated from the eighth grade. "Section 17. The legislature shall enact all necessary legislation to render said section 16 effective." The amendment was proposed in 1920 and received at that time a vote of 353,000, but this was insufficient for its adoption. The foes of pnhlic schools turned on the movement with vigor. A bill was drafted that called for state supervision ofall schools, public and parochial, and provided a supervisor at a salary so ridiculously meager that none would take the job. rinced on Ballot A second bill was drafted and put through the next legislature, known as the Ferrier act, setting aside the initiatory clause of the Michigan con stitution requiring that all signatures to a petition be certified by city, vil lage or town clerk. This was a mani fest impossibility and would hamper the securing of names at the expense of the time required for appearance Detore tne clerks. James Hamilton, president of the Public School Defense League and candidate for the Republican nomina tion,- took the fight to the courts and won a decision that the amendment was unconstitutional. and a renewal of the fight for the compulsory school amendment immediately followed. A new petition was filed and signatures secured with ease. The proposal has been certified and is now on the bal lot for the primary September 9. Boycott Is Urged Foes of the petition have been carrying on a campaign of hamper ing tactics ana Intimidation. In one town, a list of signers of the peti tion was posted in the town hall with a demand that the signers should be boycotted. Mr. Hamilton, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, is touring the-state in the interest of the amendment and has met with enthusiasm wherever he has spoken. He has appealed particularly to Catholic parents whose children are attending parochial schools and many have been won over by hia fair presentation of the problem. A huge vote is expected in favor of the proposal and its supporters are hopeful of victory. CEMENT KLANSMEN PAY CAMP MEETING VISIT CEMENT, Okla., Sept. 2. Ku Klux Klansmen paid their annual visit to the" Elm Grove camp 'meeting, which has just closed here. One evening recently, wniie tne orchestra was playing patriotic hymns, the Klansmen filed into the arbor, forming a semi-circle at the pulpit. Their speaker addressed the crowd and was heavily applauded. A thousand persons were present.

KLANS CEREMONIAL Attorney-General of Kansas, in Grandstand Play, Says He May Take Action TOPEKA, Ksjn, Sept. 2. Having been safely nominated for re-election, Charles B. Griffith, attorneygeneral of Kansas, has broken a silence of several months with the voluntary statement that he may take action to stop the big Klan demonstration to be held at the Kansas state fair at Hutchinson, on September 15. Apparently the statement was Aade with a view to getting into the uiueugm again, ana to create prejudice against the Klan, as the attorney-general next day explained that he could, not take such action unless asked by the county attorney of Reno county or by the governor to do so. His attempt to create prejudice was seen in his statement that the "taxpayers might object to paying for a Klan demonstration." All Klansmen know that the Klan will stand every penny of the expenses, and does not expect the taxpayers to pay for any of its demonstrations. As in former cases. Governor Jonathan Davis has checked the matter squarely up t Griffith. "I will advise the attorney-general to use his judgment and legal knowledge in handling the matter," was the comment of Governor Davis when asked what position he intended to take. No Complaints Against Elan Griffith admitted that no complaints had been received, and stated that he could not take action unless there were complaints. This is a position opposite to the views he pretended to hold a year ago when the Klan held a big demonstration and parade in Topeka. At that time Griffith threatened the mayor, the snenir and the chief of police with ouster proceedings if they did not prevent the parade. He declared such a proceeding to be a "disturbance of the peace." Neither the sheriff, mayor, nor chief of police shared the attorney-general's views, however, and the parade was held with the biggest crowd ever assem bled in the city looking on. Kansas Klansmen intend to make the Hutchinson affair the biggest of its kind ever held In the state. Mon day of fair week has been designated as IJlan day and elaborate prepara tions are being made for the celebra tion. Members from everv nart of the state will be in attendance, and thousands of them, wilf take their families to Hutchinson for the occasion.. FOREIGN AGHATGRS CALL OUT STRIKERS PATERSON, N. J., Sent 1. The threatened strike of the workers in the silk manufacturing plants in this city has gone into effect. The strikers are being led by one Adolph Lesseg, about whom there has beenconsiderable talk in reference to his interest in leading strikes in this country. The chief of police in Paterson stated that it was his belief that the better class of workers in the silk mills did not approve of the strike, and that it was called by an element composed of the old I. W. W.'s. Thus far there has been no violence. A very significant thing in connection with the calling of the strike, was that when a huge meeting was held in Turn Hall to discuss the matter, the crowd had to be addressed in four different languages, English, Italian, Jewish, and Syrian. It seems to be another instance of a strike called by a foreign labor agitator. FOR QUICK RESULTS USE FIERY CROSS WANT AUS MA in 0168 DEDICATED TO THE .
