KU-KLUX KLAN MASS MEETING PERMIT DENIED City Opposes Use of Public Buildings by Mysterious Body. NEGROES ASK ACTION The city administration today stood Pin record as being opposed to the use of public IffiMings for meetings of the Knights of the Ku-Klux Klan, following revocation by the board of public works Wednesday afternoon of a permit for a public mass meeting at which the principles of the mysterious order were to have been expounded by Col. Joseph G. Camp in Tomlinson Hall Saturday night. On the advice of Corporation Counsel Taylor E. Groniuger, George O. Hutsell, clerk of the board, last Saturday refused E. D. Smith, said to be a local representative of the klan, a permit for the hall next Saturday evening. The board of works Monday afternoon reversed its clerk and granted the permit, renting the hail to Mr. Smith for SCS. NEGROES READY TO HIE PROTESTS. Yesterday afternoon about twenty-five negroes led by George P. Stewart and William H. Jackson, newspapermen; W. i S. Henry and W. E. Henderson, lawyers;! Gordon Dcnaldson, custodian of the city ball; the Rev. Charles Summer Williams, the Rev. William J. White, Henry Flem-! ing. L. F. Artist, Henry Evans, John A. I’uryear and Samuel Brewer, gathered in the basement of the city hall in readiness to go before the board and protest against the Ku-Klux meeting. While this delegatoin lingered In the basement, Mr. Groninger went to the board and again advised the organization be refused the use of Tomlinson Hall, as matter of public policy. He said he fcras willing to assume the responsibility ™f the board would revoke the permit. So the board wrote a letter to Mr. Smith returning him his money for the ball rental. KEAN MEMBERS ASKS INTERVIEW. The negro delegation was notified of this action and left the building. A few minutes later, however, the board received a call from a man who said he was “Mr. Freeman,” asking if he could talk over the matter as a representative of the KuKlux Klan. The board told him to come ahead. Meanwhile the board finished Its business and adjourned, but President Charles E. Cotfin remained to meet the Klan member. Mayor Shank and Mr. Groninger were asked to stay for the session. Someone notified Custodian Donaldson and several representatives of the Catholic faith “Mr. Fieeman” was coming over an’d invited them to come to the board office. Mr. Freeman,” who later said ‘‘Anderson’ or “Johnson" would come about as close to being his real name, glib of tongue and equipped with innumerable facts and figures, arrived, was ushered into the back room and given opportunity to state his case. While he was talking. Custodian Donaldson came in. J. 1* o'Mahony and Humbert Paganl, editors of the Indiana Catholic and Record. and James P. Deery, prominent In various Catholic societies, arrived one by one and took places around the table.

MAYOR SAYS HE tUILL BACK BOARD. " “Mr. Freeman” tried to gt Mayor Shank to express an opinion concerning the Kii-Klux Klan, but the mayor said he was leaving the entire matter in the hands of the board and he would back up the board in whatever It did. Then the tnavor departed. In the next three-quarters of an honr the corporation counsel, and the representatives of the Catholics and negroes declared themselves to be opposed to tho Ku-Klux on account of its reputation of opposition to J ?ws. CatL lies and negroes. They though’ this stand un-American. Mr. Freeman said they all were Ignorant of the true principles of the Knights of the Ku-Klux Klan, which he said is not the Ku-Klux Klan of civil war days, and instead of fomenting racial hatred, the kian is trying to bring about better racial understanding. He said the klansmen recognize the right of any person to worship God as he pleases and they have helped the negro race many times. Custodian Donaldson remarked: "We don't want any of your kind of help.’ ’ K I.ANSMA N MAKES BEST OE NAMES. The klansman took the names of several persons in the room when they made statements he appeared to regard as derrogatory to the Klan. *'Mr. Freeman" is understood to have been active in the controversy over a Ku-Klux Klan meeting in Evansville recently. He said the Klan held the meeting after opposing socitles were enjoined from interfering and the city administration had invited them to hold another meeting after it had discovered kwhat a force for Americanism the first "had been. The city officials told ‘‘Mr. Freeman” they would not oppose the meeting in any but a city building. It was suggested h rent Cadle Tabernacle. He said he did not have sufficient funds. In one of his statements he indicated an attempt might be made to get Caleb Mills nail. HTKRUI FOR THE LADIES! DEEDS.

STANDHOLDERS OBJECT OF ORDER Arrests of Curb Traders to Follow Failure to Clean Up. Orders to cause the arrest of all curb stand holders on the city market who fall to clean up their premises before they leave Saturday night were issued to John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, by Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank today. He instructed the superintendent to confer with the police and Market Master Robert R. Sloan, upon means of tdlmating the distressingly untidy condition in which the court house square is left every Sunday morning. “If the standholders will not clean up, we’ll just abolish the curb market altogether,” the mayor said. The board of public works has approved vesting street cleaning inspectors with special police powers so their orders to eitizeus will bear more weight and will ask the board of public safety to issue such' powers and badges as are necessary.
