SUITS ARE FILED AGAINST KLAN IN COURT HERE South Bend Men Want Names Removed From Charter, Charging Conspiracy—Klan Officials Deny Memberships. Charges that three million members of the Ku-Klux Klan throughout the United States combined in a “gigantic conspiracy” to violate the Constitution and laws of the United States and in many instances to supplant the regularly constituted government by klan rule, were contained in an injunction suit filed by six residents of South Bend in Federal Court today.
“The names of these plaintiffs and others complained of never were on the Klan membership rolls,” Milton Elrod, editor of “The Fiery Cross” said. “Here is what happened. On kthe afternoon of the Fourth of July If he card ,ftidex containing- a long list ks residents of South Bend was stolen vom our South Bend office. I would ■uggest you ask Joe Roach just how "lie got those names. ‘Attemtp to Cover Blunder’ “This card index was not a list of Klan members but of persons probably eligible for membership. These names later were published in Tolerance as names of Klan members. As a result Tolerance found itself in hot water immediately. This suit is an attempt to cover up the blunders of Tolerance and is a defensive measure on the part of its backers.” Appointment of a receiver to take charge of membership lists of the Indiana Klan and an injunction ordering the names of the six plaintiffs stricken from the membership roU of the Klan were asked. According to the complaint none of the plaintiffs ever were members of the Ku-Klux Klan. but their names were placed on the rolls together with the names of many other persons without their knowledge or consent. Charge Names Were IJsted
The names of thirty-six residents of South Bend, including that of Thud Talcott, United States commissioner, were set out as having beery listed as tnzmbers of the Klan when such was not the case. It is understood that when the case is heard before Judge Albert B. Anderson that attorneys for the plaintiff will subpoena at witnesses judges, sheriffs, county prosecutors and other public officials in an attempt to prove the E barges made in the complaint. to the complaint the Klan as been guilty of the following acts: .ttemptlng to supplant the laws and institution of the United States by b raws and purposes of the Klan; conspiring to corruptly take over to itself administration of justice throughout the country; securing os co-conspirators judges of State courts, proseeiiting attorneys, sheriffs and other officers: administering the laws so as to obtain immunity from punishment for members of the "conspiracy” guilty of murder, mayhem, mutilating the bodies of victims, tarring and feathering and beating citl*ens Into Insensibility; boycotting Jews, negroes and Catholics commercially; stealing government property and turning it over to the defendants "without compensation, and unlawfully influencing Army inquiry boards charged with investigation of such affairs. Receiver Termed Only Relief Only by the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the membership roll of the Ku-Klux Klan in Indiana can the plaintiffs be assured that their names will be stricken from the roll. It was asserted. Plaintiffs in the suit were: Benjamin Dubois, teacher; John Dossman, clerk; Peter J. Birmingham, physician: Daniel A. Youngerman, traveling salesman: Zelman Dekelhaum, attorney, and Earl Jackson, merchant. False representations that the / are members of the Klan have injured eir business and personal standing, e 7 said. , The complaint was filed by Joseph R. Roach, lawyer, and Patrick O'Don nell of Chicago, an official of the American Unity League.
ZR-1 EN ROUTE HOME ON RETURN FLIGHT Giant Dirigible Leaves St, Louis for Lakehurst Hangar, via Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland,
By United Preen ST. LOUIS. Mo., Oct. 2—The stately ZR-1, pride of the Navy, after a leisurely circuit of the St. Louis loop district at an altitude of 2,000 feet, turned and left for its home hangar at Lokehurst, N. J„ at 10:10 a. m. The dirigible left the field at 9:45 a. m., and circled over the city, its gray bag glistening in the sunlight. Business stopped over the city while the great motors hummed overhead. The big ship arrived in St. Louis at 4 o'clock this morning, three hours ahead of its schedule. The distance on the circuitous return trip will be around 1,400 miles. The bee-line journey here totalled 1,000 miles. Thirty-six tanks of 133 gallons of gasoline each were loaded into the |wlp as the crew of forty-two ate hot Breakfasts and puffed cigarettes. After an hour and a half on the ground, the ship was released from Its moorings. Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, head of the Navy flying service, will ride as far as Detroit, it was said, although the ship is not scheduled to stop there. The dirigible will not fly over Lake Michigan to Detroit, but round about by land, it was announced. The silver monster left in a northerly direction, heading directly for Chi-

WHY CUSTOMERS OPPOSE HIGHER RAIESjSSHOWN Water Hearing to End This Afternoon —Groninger Talks. The demand of the Indianapolis Water Company for increased rates was characterized by Taylor E. Groninger, corporation counsel for the city, as “unreasonable, avaricious and impudent,” in his argument in the rate ease before th# public service commission today. Groninger closed the arguments for the respondents to the petition. William A. Mclnemy, attorney for the water company, was scheduled to close the argument for the company this afternoon. "All classes of the citizenship of Indianapolis are here acting in perfect unison against the demands of the petitioner,” Groninger said. Groninger discussed the attitude of the newspapers in the rate case. “We remind the opposition that the same United States Constitution which provides that no State shall deprive any person of his property without due process of law also provides for freedom of speech and of the press and of the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of their grievances,” he said. “Is It any wonder that the civic clubs, labor organizations and the Chamber of Commerce should rise up in mass and protest against the un just addition of $6,000,000 to the fair value of the Indianapolis Water company’s property?” he asked. "Much more potent does this protest become when the facts show that the Indianapolis Water Company has been in existence since 1881; that during all that period of time it has never earned less than 6.1 per cent on its plant and property.”
SLAYING SDSPECT SEIZEDBY POLICE Murder of Policeman May Be Solved, Cincinnati police believe they have in custody the slayer of Motorpollceman Jesse Louden, who was fatally shot, several months ago by a colored man while investigating a burglar call at Sixteenth St. and Central Ave. A negro, 27, said to have a wife here, and who, they say, answers descriptions of the Louden slayer, is the suspect.

Frank McCrary, commander of the dirigible, celebrated his forty fourth birthday Monday as the airship plunged through the Virginia air lanes headed westward from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. “It is the longest flight the ZR-1 has made; she has proved herself,” McCrary said. ZR-1 PASSES OVER BOONVILLE Citizens of Designer's Home Town Greet Giant Ship. By United Press BOONVTLLE, Ind.. Oct. 2. —Folks in the old home town of Commander Ralph D Weyebacher, designer of the ZR-1, stayed up till nearly midnight last night to see his ship go sailing by.

GERMAN REBELS SURRENDER PDRT ID GOVERNMENT Heavy Fighting and Number of Casualties Reported Following Battle, By CARL D. GROAT, United Bren* Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Oct. 2. —The last of the monarch rebels, holding the fortress of Kuestrln, surrendered to the government forces at 5 a. m. today. There was heavy’ fighting and an official statement admits a considerable number of dead and wounded. The final battle took place when the monarchs, who held only a portion of the fortress, attempted a sortie to rescue 300 of their comrades who had been made prisoners by the regular troops. Surrender of the rebels followed a series of ultimatums from the government forces, ending with a brief note which said; “Unless you surrender by 5 a. m. we will proceed with strong reinforcements to destroy you.” The rebels ran up the white flag at 4.45 a. m. and shortly afterward marched out and surrendered their arms. They will be tried by* a special court established under terms of President Ebert's state of siege proclamation.

Election, Banned by Governor, Passing Off Quietly and indications Are Heavy Vote Will Be Polled Throughout the State, NO VIOLENCE REPORTED AND PEOPLE ARE ORDERLY Executive Declares Balloting Is Illegal and He Will Refuse to Accept Result —Proclamation Names Dec. 6 as Legal Date, Bp United Press , OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct. 2.—Voting in Oklahoma’s special election, held in defiance of Governor J. C. Walton, proceeded quietly in all parts of the State during the morning. Oklahoma County, strongly against Walton in the last election, showed signs of polling the largest vote in its history. In counties where the Governor’s special agents and military authorities probed lawlessness, placed by the executive at the door of the K. K. K., balloting was heavy. Other sections reported little interest and an 80 per cent normal ballot for the entire State was forecast.
Reports from throughout the State were the balloting started in an orderly manner In nearly all counties. In only a few counties where Governor Walton’s political supporters are m charge of the election machinery polling places failed to open. A deputy sheriff was accidentally shot by another special deputy in the courthouse shortly after the polls opened. The shooting occurred when a deputy’ dropped his gun. the bullet entering the other guard’s shoulder. - Sheriffs Patrol Polls Thousands of special deputies recruited from the ranks of citizen volunteers In defiance of the Governor's orders to all sheriffs to seize election .supplies and padlock the polls, patroled the voting places all over the State. “We are going to obey the law. not Governor Walton,” wbs the unanimous expression of the county sheriffs. “There will be no interference with the election and order will be preserved.” Some of them were garbed for the occasion with broad rimmed sombreros and husky shooting irons dangling from wide cartridge laden belts. Occasionally* one would draw a six shooter from his pelt, give it a professional twist, then return it to the holster. No man who voted escaped the gleaming eye of the vigilantes. Hips Bulge Conspicuously At Ponca City, Ardmore, Muskogee and Okmulgee, famous Oklahoma oil towns, strapping oil workers with hips bulging or guns conspicuously hung outside their coats, almost ordered election cl ?rks to give them their ballots. In these sections balloting was especially heavy. Occasionally a deputy would cast a furtive glance at a voter and his hand would clasp the handle of his gun where it would rest until the vote had been deposited, in the ballot box. Governor Walton, who opposes the election because it carries an initiated law for vote of the people that the Legislature may meet for purposes of impeaching the Governor, without being summoned by’ the executive, continued efforts throughout the night to prevent success fit the balloting. Walton Addresses People He issued a statement addressed to the “people of Oklahoma. ' condemning the “pretended election advertised to take place tomorrow.” and asked the people to “preserve peace and good order.” He issued a call for an election on Dec. 6. at which the initiated measure allowing the Legislature to convene itself would be submitted to the people. ”If the Oklahoma people want to amend the constitution so that the Ku-Klux Klan legislators can impeach me, thereby removing all
INSURANCE RATES MAY TAKE A DROP Six Per Cent Reduction a Possibility if State Commissioner Accepts New Figures,
A blanket reduction of possibly 6 per cent in Indianapolis fire insurance rates might be accomplished if conclusions of Charles A. Woerner, supervisor of rates and schedules for the Indiana insurance department, are ac cepted by Thomas S. McMurray, State insurance commissioner. Representatives of the city and National Board of Fire Underwriters appeared today in final hearing before McMurray. Woerner’s survey placed the city only 932 points under the arbitrary standards of the national board, necessary for a reclassification, against 1,200-point deficiency estimated by Clarence Goldsmith, assistant chief engineer of the national board, who appeared today. McMurray’s attitude seemed to be toward acceptance of Woerner’s deductions, which action would justify I lacing the city in “Class 114” instead of in “Class 2.” J. W. Williams, manager of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Insurance Bureau, said a 6 per cent blanket reduction would be as much as could be anticipated in the event the city and the merchants win the fight for reclassification. Present at the hearing were McMurray, Charles A. Whitney, engineer for the national bodrd; William L. Taylor, counsel; George W. Booth, chief engineer for the underwriters;

restraint on lawlessness of the klan, I don’t want to be Governor,” Walton said. The Governor said he would not use the military forces to prevent the election. He said he mobilized his i 22,000 State police, 75,000 volunteer “minute men” and the National Guard i of the State to suppress rioting and lawlessness which might arise In connection with the balloting. The Governor’s 22.000 special police were pushed Into the background, and, : scattered throughout the State, they 1 made a puny force compared with the great army of special deputies ready to see that the election went on. Two j days ago Walton had announced these • deputies would keep the polls padi locked and arrest defiant election officials. From the executive mansion it was announced that the Governor would ignore the results cf today’s balloting. “The pretended election is illegal ant. I will refuse to accept its results,” j the Governor said. j “I am willing to allow the issue to go before the people in a fair and legal election where an opportunity Is had, as required by law, to present ! the issues to the voters.” WITNESSES CALLED IN M’CRAY PROBE * Moores Issues Subpoenaes in Several Counties, j Subpoenaes to serve on various | persons supposed have information concerning dealings of Governor Mc--1 Cray with the Marion National Bank, i Marion, Ind., have been sent to various sheriffs in the State, it was j learned today from Charles W. | Moores, special prosecutor appointed to handle the investigation before the Marion County grand jury.
