INDIANA KU-KLUX HAS TWO NAMED GRAND DRAGONS Factional Fight Between Bossert and Stephenson Wings in Full Swing, internal fight between factions of the Ku-Klux Klan headed by Walter Bossert, imperial representative of the Klan in twenty-one States, and D. C. Stephenson, former grand dragon for Indiana, still was in full swing today. Bossert was elected grand dragon of the Indiana realm at Buschmann Hall, College Ave. and Eleventh St., Sunday. Stephenson was elected to the same office by his adherents at a meeting at Cadle Tabernacle last week. The meeting Sunday was sur rounded with secrecy. Stephenson followers claimed today that more than forty counties were un represented at the meeting. It is understood that Stephenson was bitterly assailed by Dr. Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of the national organization and other speakers. About 800 to 1.000 Klansmen attended the meeting, approximately the same number that attended the Stephenson meeting last week. Stephenspn's faction is fighting to free the Indiana Klan from control of officers of the national organization. Bossert is affiliated with the national organization and is said to be allied politically with James P. Goodrich, former Governor of Indiana.

By XEA Service LYNN, Mass., May 19. —A son, 20, has just met his mother for the first time since he has been out of swaddling clothes. He comes to her, after seventeen years, at a time when she needs him most. She is poor. Her little farm in mortgaged She is sickly. Howard McConnell's story is one of strange complications. When he was 3 years old his father kidnaped him from his mother. They had agreed to separate, but neither cou,ld agree to give up the boy. Police, the mother's relatives and friends were unable to find Howard after the kidnaping. Thought Aunt Was Mother His father had taken him to North Handley, Quebec, and there was brought up. believing that his aunt was his true mother. It was not until Howard was 17 that he learned the truth. His “mother” was ill. One afternoon on way home from school, a relative hurried to meet him. H ! s “mother” was dying.

The doctor had said it was but a matter of minutes. Howard raced home. In the sick room the woman lying cn the bed beckoned to him and drew his head down close to her mouth that he would be sure to hear her whisper. "I am not your mother,” she gasped—but she could tell no more. Death had Intervened. Searches for Mother The shock, with its ante-climax, was almost more than the boy could bar. Running away from his home ne set out to find his real • mother. For a year he searched through the eastern States. Discouraged desperate he joined the navy. But it was not until early this month that he came across a tangible clew as to the whereabouts of his mother. By chance, he met a relative of ’-is mother.
