II “Any statement that the Ku-Klnx Klan mg an organization oir that any of Its Members, acting either for themselves or for this organization, planned a race riot in the Interest of John S. Williams or any •ther person or that It fomented or •ought to foment, for any purpose whatever, any friction between the white and the colored races at any time or for any purpose is entirely without foundation •nd does this organization a very grave Injustice. ;( “We are not even advised, except tbn ugh the publication of the story herein referred to, that any person or persons ha* charged this organization with inciting or seeking to incite clashes between the races at Covington, bnt if •uch charges have been made they are the result of malicious efforts to damage this organization and bring it into disrepute.

Williams is Involved.

Its attempts to coerce and Intimidate the city employes. lie pointed out that the primary permitted the voters to express ■their choice and organization intimidating city employes should be soundly defeated. His meetings were at 65 North Addison street, 1202 Roosevelt avenue. 1027 North -Missouri street and 521 Agnes Street. ROBISON' PLEADS FOR CLEAN VOTING. ; At these meetings Mr. Robison launched a plea for a clean primary. He deplored any attempts to manipulate the ballots.

West .Michigan street and Holmes avenue, to ■iday at noon, Mr. Shank referred to '*What be termed the hypocrisy of Mayor Jewett In appearing on the platform of jthe Gipsy Smith meeting last night to *boast of the “clean city’’ he was running. SCORES JEWETT TOR "HYPOCRISY.” ' “Gipsy Smith has done a great work ‘jin Indianapolis.” said the candidate, i|**anch a work as 1 have rejoiced to see but the unscrupulous hypocrisy of the ■ Jewett ring here has blinded him to ieondltions. I don’t blame Gipsy. He is : {an Englishman and unaccustomed to ■the methods pursued by American politicians. I think his fine work here will be reflected In tbe action of an awakened people at the polls this spring for tlie people do know conditions. I "Mayor Jewett and Felix MoWhirter. ‘good government’ member of the board of safety, had the nerve to sit on the tabernacle platform last night, basking :in the righteous light of tbe great evangelist while their friends. Rufe Page. ,Joker Young and William Lancaster, ne‘gro politicians, were running gambling ■ dive* unmolested. Then Jewett talked of ibis efforts to run a clean city and shamelessly brought in the name of his father, a Christian minister.

Pfafflin began his investigation of the mutilation of dogs at the college with the announcement to other members of the society that all the charges against the college were “lies” and was supported in this statement by W. S. Frye, who I said he had never read anything concerui ing the manner in which the college coni ducts experimental surgery on dogs sur- ! reptitiously procured from doubtful sources. Thus the investigation of the many charges of extreme cruelty against the college Was begun with two of the Investigating committee on record as proponents of the college's dissection methods. In the meanwhile, there is a growing determination, both in the society and | outside of it, that the practices of the colj lege in procuring dogs and in the treatment they receive after reaching the college must be reformed.
