Plan of lloman t'orporntlon The information obtained by officers of the national orxanization of the Klan was so specitic it could- not he ignored. They obtained absolute information that the Roman Catholic corporation intended to import these gunmen from many parts of the nation to South Iiend; that there would be a riot; that as usual, the press of ihe nation would carry the story "Klan Kiot in South Bend." Then would follow the detailed accounts of those killed, maimed, and of those arrested. And behind each name would lie "Klansmen." Where riots take place at Klan meetings, the men that refuse to run away are arrested. The gunmen escape, the Klanman as a true American, stands his ground.

The agents, waiting for a truck to appear in order that they might arrest the men seeking to move the contraband, were accosted by the two policemen, who placed them under arrest. Displaying their badges and government credentials. the dry agents told the police that they were watching the car of ale. but they were rushed uff to the station " house as "imposters." When they reported their status to the de3k sergeant, he ordered them released at once, and they hurried back to the siding, but the ale had disappeared. Mayor Schwab, ex-brewer. Roman Catholic, foe of the prohibltlonTaw, has done nothing about this flagrant Interference with the enforcement of prohibition.

paign, not cnlj in Indiana, but all over the nation. The Klan meeting happened to be scheduled n short time before the national and state election. From 'n Roman viewpoint it would be fine reading In the daily paper of the nation "That a Klan riot 'took place at Sonth Bend." Much political capital could have been made in hroudenstins such a Mory. The- Roman Catholic corporation will feel differently after the polls close November 4 and the results of the defeat of the Homan corporation ripe; have been announced. They will not import Kunmen to South Bend November S, to create a riot. South Bend citizens Protestatvt citizens of Soutli Bend have invited Kiansmen to meet in that city, and Klansmen will meet there November S to do honor to the American MaK. to support the laws of the nation and to celebrate the Rreat victory of the

Protestant voters at the polls on No vember 4. Inviting a Riot (Continued from Page 1) "This is a wonderful season of the year. The October wealth of rich colorings appeals to the eye. The harvest is over for the year. The hour is here when there is content-" ment and satisfaction in reaping the rewards of the months of planting and of cultivation." Here the edifof quotes from Helen Hunt Jackson's splendid poem: "October." Then he continues:" "Wlio would disturb such thoughts or such a chance for happiness, especially in a community which has long enjoyed a serenity and contented tolerance which ko to make men neighbors and friends? "Yet there is danger that next Sunday morning you may not be thinking of the Ociober sunshine, its beauty or its poetry. "In the official organ of the Invisible Empire announcement is iiiHde that next Saturday there will come to this city many thousands of white-robed men and women, answering misguidedly to tlie call of the sinister and selfish men to flaunt the banner of hostility and of hatred in this eomm u n i t y . "The gathering in this" city is intended to create trouble, and is brought here for that purpose. "The date has been set with an eye to the possible political advantage which may come from sending distorted, exaggerated and false reports of whatever occurs to distant cities. "The men who are responsible are those in charge ofthe campaign of Kd Jackson, not the. Republican chairman, who- has tried to persuade the officers of this secret organization to abandon its sinister purpose to use this desperate means to capture the Statehouse for its candidate. "The program as far as has been made public is of a nature to aggravate and annoy those classes against which this organization wages its war. "These men from far places are being brought here for the sole and only purpose of aggravating and annoying citizens of this community into actions which may be broadcasted as persecution or attack. "The isituatlon is so fllled with possibilities for tragedy and disaster as to command the most thoughtful and patriotic attention of every man and woman in this community. "It Is no time for anser for recrimination, for threats, or for hatreds. "South Bend must not be made a battleground that the sinister purposes ofa few venal men may be accomplished. "The responsible leadership of this city should do what is possible to persuade these misguided people to refrain. The responsibility for results should be placed in advance upon the shoulders of these leaders who would jeopardize the peace of this community in order to attain power or money or whatever it is they seek. "Above all It Is time for strongself -restraint on the part of every citizen, a restraint which if necessary should Include absence from the streets until these invaders of the public peace shall have departed. "If the citizenship be well organized to prevent even theippearance of starting the trouble which the'se outsiders desire, those leaders who have planned to do this terrible thlnir to this city can be properly handled later Jn the courts. "It would be a tragedy if two October Sundays should present tin strong contrast, which Is more than a possibility."

Kind deeds of charity performed every day by Marion County Klan Xo. 3 are bringing in letters of deep gratitude from persons befriended by the Indianaoplis Klansmen. The Exalted .Cyclops of the local organization has just received the following letter from a woman whom the ICtan helped : "My family and myself want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and blessing to us. May (bid bless you and the major of the Rescue Mission that you sent over to our home, also that wonderful order of the Ku Klu:c Klan.. Shoes for liare F"ect - "They brought us a new pair of shoes for each one of our children and some clothes to make over, which was a great blessing as the children were barefooted and run down in clothes. "My husband and myself thank you and each and every one who helped to bring this great ray of sunshine to our home, as it was surely a fine deed and one that will never be forgotten in our home. "I sure am proud to think my husband belongs to such a wonderful order. Thank you one and all again. I remain, "Yours truly, - . "MRS. F. E. B."

Such letters as the above are arriving every day as a result of the Klan's splendid work among the needy. S89 for Conl The local organization has set aside $200 each month for charity work, but it is very seldom that charitable expenditures are kept within that figure. Last spring as much as $700 was spent each month to aid needy families. The Klan's monthly bill for coal sent to worthy persons amounts to $80. The grocery bill is never less than $o0. Another humanitarian work is that of finding employment for members of the organization out of work, livery day ten or twelye Klansmen are sent out on new jobs. It is Through such work as this that the KlaTns making new friends every day. HORSE THIEF SLEUTHS WIN THEIR LEGAL WAR (Continued from Page 1) authorized by a state law In 19l7. The ajutocintiiiii'N appointments require a unanimous ratification by the county cciumisHtoner, but once they have ratified he appointments, the county eommiMKionerH can not remove a conntable unlesM Ills removal at a definite time is specifically called for in the commission. In putting his case ' against the association before the commissioners, Ryan attempted to place on the detectives blame for recent activities among farmers of squires' constables. These siiuires' men are not ami have not been members of the Horse Thief Deteetlve Association. Kyan and the commissioners were so in-, formed, but they declared in no uncertain tones that it would make no difference in their attitude. Ivomnn Ryan's Reasons in last week's account of Ryan's war on the Horse Thief Detective Association, The Fiery Cross pointed out four important factors bearing on the case: First, that the Horse Thief Detective Association had men stationed at the polls in the primary voting last May to see that there were no irregularities. Second, that Ryan is Marlon county chairman for the Democratic party, which is hoping for victory at the polls next month. Third, that the Horse Thief De tective Association has been responsible for CO per cent of the arrests made in Indiana for violation of the liquor laws. Fourth, that Ryan is a member of the Roman Catholic church, which has ne,ver fully approved of the Eighteenth Amendment. Ryan was in city court Saturday when Judge Wilmeth made his decision, after reading opinions in like cases, but he madeno effort to prevent the court from handing back to Davis his constable's badge and dismissing the charges against him. MANY INITIATED BY WINCHESTER ORDER (Speclnl to The Fiery Cross) WINCHESTER, Ind., Oct. 20. Ran dolph Klan No. 44 initiated a large class of candidates last Wednesday evening. The local Klavern was filled to overflowing with Klansmen. After the Initiation ceremony, a national lecturer held the crowd until a late hour with a stirring address. Klan No. 44 has been growing steadily. Music was provided during the af ternoon and evening by the band and drum corps of the Elkhart senior Klan.

They believe that an avalanche of misrepresentation, slander, distorted stories of the Ku Klux Klan are being accepted by the nero voter of Indiana. The Xegro Is Thinking As an indication of what the negro oter over the country is thinkinsr. here is a communication from one of them, who signs his initials, E. M. S.: "Writing from Oklahoma City, David Lawrence made this observation: 'Pressure is being put on old lino Democrats to vote the whole ticket, including Walton, the argument being made that defections in one place might lead to others and that might carry with it a certain peril to the Democratic nominee for supreme court judge. Six are to be elected, which makes up a majority of the court, and the thought is being distrib uted among the Democrats that if the Republicans win the court they will knock out the Jim Crow laws, a subject on which Oklahoma is as tender as South Carolina or any state of the solid south.' "And still there are those who think the colored man yil be stupid enough to pull Democratic chestnuts out of the fire In Indiana next month." Forecasts Change The result of a campaign carried on by misrepresentation is so evident that the most optimistic agent of the Roman corporation can see the handwriting on the wall. A few weeks ago, political writers were asserting mat indications were that the negro voter this year would desert the Re publican party. Those statements were made on the strength of the propaganda put out by the Roman agents. The tune has been changing dally. Now the most optimistic political writer, even in the Democratic press of the nation, is conveniently placing "If" in the sentence where RIKHOFF KEEPS KING OUT OF TABERNACLE Ex-Romanist Holds Meeting in Street When Chief Orders Speakings to Stop When L. J. King, former Roman Catholic, went to Cadle Tabernacle .Sunday night to conduct his last meeting there, he found the doors blocked by policemen, as a result of Chief of roliee Rikhoff's order that King would not be allowed to spoak against the Roman Catholic church. A Roman Catholic woman had King arrested last week, charging assault and battery, but he was dismissed in city court. J. W. Speicher. owner of the taber nacle, said that he would not permit King's meetings to continue, although the speaker had paid rent for the auditorium in advance. As a result, King was forced to hold his meeting in the street Sunday. ItliiK hns never had any connection whatsoever with the Knights of the Ku Kl.iv Klnn.

he refers to the negro vote. He has practically withdrawn it from the support of McCulloch. However, the Roman agents are sfill busy. They nre creating trouble wherever Republican cnndldates attempt to address negro voters. Men like James K. Ueery, Joseph P. Turk, wet Roman candidate for congress, and others or the same caliber, are Iouting the venom that conies from Rome. They niny control the Roman Catholic vote, but their task of driving, like n herd of sheep, the negro voter into the McCulloch fold Is too hlj; even for the Roman corporation. It can't he done.

LIBERTY HALL HOLDS DEDICATION SERVICE (Continued from Page 1) thy May Perry, 2225 Brookside avenue, represented the children. Mr. Hardin made the closing remarks and Rev. Buchanan led in prayer.

(Special to The Fiery Cross) GILLETTE, Wis., Oct. 20. A definite plot against the success of tho Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Oconta and Shawano counties has come to light with a recent series

j of events in these two counties, culi minating last week With the interi ferenco of a Roman Catholic na tional guard officer with the American right to assemble. A public meeting had been billed for this town. The Armory Hall tra-s rented and a speaker scheduled. On the night of the meeting the organizer found a crowd outside the hall and learned that a Roman captain of the guard had locked the doors and jvould allow no one to enter. Sec Only Some Bags This servant of-a Roman dictator had left a man in charge of the hall, instructing him to tell the orgamzer tint government property was stored within and that no one could lawfully enter. i ne only government property that the crowd could see through the windows was some barrack bags filled with old clothes. Interference by the guard officer did not halt the meeting and 400 men, women and children gathered outdoors, many of them signing applications for membership in the Protestant order. In Shawano the organizer was refused a hall that had been rented by its owner, Gilbert Knapp, to manyother organizations. As a result, the meeting was held on the circus grounds in the light of two fiery crosses. JTore than 2.000 heard the principles of Klankraft explained. Stone Widow's Restaurant Mountain, a little town in tho northern part of Oconta county, has had similar experiences with servants of the Roman corporation. There the Swedes are in control and they hav resorted to violence in an effort to keep Americanism out of the town. They seized the Klan organizer at a Klan meeting held there and beat him. Because a widow, who operates a restaurant in Mountain, expressed a friendly attitude to the Klan they hurled stones through the windows of her building. About COO persons crowded into the little theater at Wittenberg last week lo hear a national Klan lecturer. The speaker was a minister of the gospel.
