DAVIS SUPPORTS BRYAN’S STAND ON MOBILIZATION Sees No Necessity for Civilians to Engage in Demonstration, By United Press NEW YORK. July 3L—John W. Davis .speaking as standard bearer of the Democratic party, today gave full support to Charles W. Bryan's stand on “Mobilization Day." ‘ Issuing a formal statement to correct printed intimations he was in disagreement with his running mate on the question of engaging in a military demonstration during September, Davis said: “Entirely Sound" “On the contrary, I think that the view expressed by the Governor of Nebraska is entirely sound.” Previously Davis' associates had indicated he might not embroil himself in what seemed to be an extraneous question growing out of the issue raised by Bryan when, as executive of his State, he refused to indorse unqualifiedly President Coolidge'S program for a civilian moboilization drill. When the Democratic nominee found, however, that his silence was being taken as indicative of embarrassment at Bryan's stand, he promptly corrected the view. “Since I returned from the State of Maine,” Davis said, “I have taken occasion to inform myself concerning the views expressed by the Governor of Nebraska in regard to ‘mobilization day.’ No Disagreement “I am surprised at the statement which I see in the press to the effect that I am in disagreement with him or that his action has in any way proven an embarassment to me. “On the contrary, I think that the view expressed by the Governor of Nebraska to the effect that there is no necessity at this time to encourage civilians to leave their occupations for the purpose of engaging in what would only be a military demonstration without any practical educational effect, is entirely sound.”

Five men were shot and more than a score injured in new fighting between citizens and members of the Ku-Klux Klan near here today. It was the third Klan riot In Massachusetts in a week. The fighting started shortly after midnight, when three thousand Klansmen. who had been holding a I meeting in a field near Groveland, j clashed with a party of young men who had been watching the speci tacle. The Injured included members of I both factions, and scattered fighting continued until dawn. Police finally ’ restored order and arrested twenty- : three men, including a Klan organizer named Hirne, said to be from j Miami, Fla. Klansmen armed with shotguns prevented persons without credenI tials from entering the fitld whilt j the meeting was being held. Anti-Kiansmen gathered at a safe ! distance, held back by police, and l there were no disorders until after the meeting was over. At the Haverhill bridge, however, a number of the Klan automobiles were at- , tacked, a number of Klansmen firing with revolvers and shot gunb. Five injured were taken to hospitals. C'tizens were particularly aroused | because a motor truck manned by j Klansmen armed with rifles, led the Klan procession through Haverhill. ; Scattered fighting continued along j the highwas until the Klan procession dispersed.

CUPID 'EVOLUTING U. S. MAILS SHOW Special Delivery Letters, Once Carried on Foot, Sped Now by Gasoline Motor,

Cupid .they say, used to go about with wings on his back and a pack of arrows at his side. But that was when his activities were limited to a small sphere. Now: he covers the earth by gasoline motor. The development In his methods of transporting love messages may be traced In the evolution of the special delivery system of the United States postofftee. In 1886 there were four special delivery letter carriers in Indianapolis; now there are, on the average, forty carriers who work from 6 a. m. until 10:45 p. m. They first traveled on foot, then on street cars of the old mule-drawn type, then they acquired bicycles. About a year ago bicycles were abandoned. Today they use automobiles and motorcycles with side eras. Lovers Best Customers Os course, lovers are not the only ones who use the special delivery system, business houses are good customers. But the majority of special delivery stamps are sold to individuals, according to H. H. Vawter and Marion Clarke, stamp clerks in the Indianapolis postoffice. “When they are about to be married they sent a special every day,” said Vawter. “I knew one man who came regularly every Saturday to buy a special delivery stamp so his fiancee would get her daily letter on Sunday. Once in a while he missed a Saturday. Then the next time he came he would explain that he went to see her that w-eek-end or that she came to see him." Florists, film companies and credit houses are the three classes of business firms who use the most special delivery stamps In business, Clarke said. Speed, Not Safety "Many people send letters special delivery thinking it insures greater safety,” said dgar F. Brown, postal cashier, “but they are mistaken. The special delivery stamp only speeds the delivery of the mail. For safety, one should send a registered letter.” In June 59,677 pieces of special delivery mail were received here. In May 68,685 were received. Last December. due to the Christmas mail, 77,565 special delivery packages and letters were delivered. The average number of specials is about 1,800 pieces a day, according to William C. Barr, foreman of the special delivery carriers. "Monda}', Tuesday and Wednesday they are rather light " said Barr. “Saturday is usually the heaviest day as the senders want Sunday delivery. “Friday is next heaviest," he said, "then comes Sunday, then Thursday.” The special delivery boys have to deliver all parcels, regardless of size or weight, according to Barr. Their labor is largely a labor of love, incidentally, because their only compensation is 8 cents for each letter
