‘SOCIAL BLOC’ IS OECRiINTALK Knights of Columbus Speaker Appeals for Unity, "We have had the agricultural bloc and the industrial bloc, but we now have a social bloc calculated to divide the people into sects and races and to divide them against themselves,” Thomas McGee declared in an address Monday night before a meeting of the Knights of Columbus at their new auditorium, Delaware and Tenth Sts. “This bloc Is wholly against the spirit of the framers of our Constitution who were striving for a homogeneous America, not a hetrogeneous America as the recent social bloo would have her.” The meeting was for the purpose of reviewing and discussing the Constitution of the United States and Its principals.

TAGGART NURSES RALSTON BOOM FOR PRESIDENCY While Keeping Under Cover, Democratic Aspirants Lay Plans for 1924 Race. By LAWRENCE MARTIN Copyright, 1923, by United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Presidential booms are being kept “under glass” these days, to protect them j from early frosts. j A survey of the status of the preliminary campaigns of both Republio--lan and Democratic aspirants shows they are all playing a cautious game. Only one candidate Is out in the open today. He is President Coolldge ana it is his position as President, Instead of any statement by him or on hls behalf that makes him a candidate. Here In brief Is how all the Democratic booms and boomlets shape up. Tomorrow the Republican possibilities will be discussed: James M. Cox of Ohio—Cox, victim of the Republican landslide of 1920, never has taken that defeat as a personal rebuff. He Is therefore In a receptive -mood and his many friends In Ohio will take his name before the Democratic convention as Ohio's favorite son. Cox will hold Ohio’s votes In early balloting. Oox still has friends among the leading Democrats in many states. Oscar Underwood of Alabama— Since Underwood announced his willingness to run, hls campaign of publicity has been carried on actively by his friends. Goveronr Brand of Alabama Joined by all the living governors of the state, has broadcast a great deal of Informative publicity covering Underwood's position on great public questions. The Underwood organization Is being quietly perfected everywhere. William G. McAdoo of California— McAdoo, as always, is an enigma. Hls managers ore the most astute politicians In the Democratic party. McAdoo has shied away from any statement that would publicly make him a candidate. His campaign thus far has been devoted to lining up delegates. McAdoo is regarded by all the other Democratic aspirants &a the man they have to deal withGovernor AI Smith of New Yo:*k — Smith is devoting himself to winding a victory for hls party In the State, instead of trying to forward presidential aspirations he may have. He and hls friends consider It of first importance to insure election of a Democratic assembly and State picket In November. they succeed in that, j and Smith then puts through' an ambitious program of governmental reform for New York, he will loom up stronger as a presidential possibility. Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana — Ralston's defeat of Albert J. Beveridge for the Senate pushed him at once j Into the spotlight and he is ranked among the first three In all Democratic discussions of presidential possibilities. Tom Taggart. Indiana, Democratic leader. Is tenderly nursing the Ralston boom and losing no opportunity to Impress on other Democratic State leaders the wisdom of combining with Ralston to beat McAdoo and Ford. Ralston himself says he has hls job as Senator to look after and that he Is not thinking of the presidency. Henry Ford of Michigan—Here is the dork horse of Democratic politics, the man who Is better known by name and less known as to personality than any of the other Democratic possibilities. There are many Ford-for-Presldent clubs, unlimited Ford publicity and a certainty Ford will have more than a few delegates If he permits hls name to go before the convention. He has said he doesn’t want to be President. But the campaign in hls behalf has gone so far, w r ho ever Is the nominee probably will be helped Into It by Ford votes, If Ford himself doesn't win.

STATE WITNESS IN WARD CASE CALLED By United Pren WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Sept. 18.— The man who first found the bulletpierced body of young Clarence Peters lying beside an obscure road In the Bronx was heard as the murder case against Walter S. Ward, the millionaire baker's son, opened today. Duncan Rose, first witness for the prosecution, described how he came upon the dead form of Peters as he was driving to work on the morning of May 16, 1922. “Every button of Peter’s worn vest was buttoned,” the witness said. The prosecution will attempt to weave about this testimony a proof there was no bullet hole In the garment, yet the wound was underneath. Stone Throwers Sought Men who threw stones at automobiles carrying American flags were sought by police today, following a report several windshields were broken. The vicinity of West and Merrill Sts. was searched.

To moot this condition, Miss Ida Helphinstine, principal, appointed the bicycle office**.

Cycling Nine Years and Always on Time

■>•• '

CLIFTON BRADLEY Would you be "willing to ride a bicycle three miles to Sunday school and get there on time? Clifton Bradley, 19, of Twenty-First St., east of Emerson, has done that for nine years. And he has never been late or missed a Sunday during the entire time. Sunday the men’s Bible class of the Brookside Park United Brethren Church, where he attends Sunday school, gave him a diamond stick-pin in honor of hls record attendance. W. O.

He said the names were given In confidence and he could not reveal them. “We don’t care to know their names, but It’s the principle of the action,” Interrupted Kingston. “'We wouldn’t have any police force if all officers acted as you did. Superior officers are there to advise and help.” The mayor again took the floor and pointed out that the detective department already had the Information Which McGee and Bedford were attempting to find at Colfax. “We have about 100 Kluxers and the same number of Catholics on the police force, and the rest aro being ground between these factions. We’re going to get to the bottom of this ttouhle if wo have to fire every man,” shouted the mayor. "The trouble is you men thought you woujd put something over Inspector Muhin.” McGee Reads Report McGee on the stand read hls report which was made to Police Chief Rlkheff. He testified that while on hls regular hours of duty between 11 p. m. and 7 a. m. he was called to the home of Patrolman Bedford at 2 a. m., where the informers there Implicated the Colfax suspect. He said they went to the Y. M. C. A., where an uncle was questioned and pictures of the suspect obtained, and later verified by neighbors axoumj the Watson home, who saw the slayer. The trip, he testified, was made after 7 a. m., while he was off duty, and while Bedford was on sick leave. "We acted immediately, because Colfax has no officer, and we thought our man might escape,” said McGee. Captains Fletcher and Rowe were both informed we were leaving town.” On cross-examination McGee said he did not tell hls superior officer why he was leaving town because he did not ask him. McGee said they went to Frankfort, where they obtained the sheriff and then went to Colfax, where the man proved not the light one. James M. Ogden, city attorney, and W\ T. Bailey, assistant, attempted to show that a murder charge was not warranted on meager evidence. Arrests Sometimes Hindered. Claycombe replied that some outside counties did not recognize a fugitive or vagrancy warrant, and arrests were hindered. Inspector Walter White admitted that much valuable Information to police was received anonymously. He said he would not attempt, however, with hls rank to do a similar thing. "We’ll tell everybody where we’re going next time,” said McGee. • Police Chief Rikhoff testified action of the officers was direct violation of police rules, and constituted an act of insubordination. "If this man had been the murderer, would the case be different?” asked Claycombe. Rikhoff replied It wouldn’t. The chief took exception to charges of Claycombe that intoxicated detectives worked on the case. Police Hunt Fugitive James Dodges. Danville.
