FORMER KLAN WOMEN CHIEFS IN‘SILENT 1 CLUB Directors Refuse to Reveal Purpose After They Incorporate. Women directors of “The Silent Workers’ Club,” incorporated at the Secretary of State’s office this week, today were as silent as their club name indicated about the organization’s purposes. Those reached by telephone refused to discuss the matter, and one snapped up the receiver as a reporter was in the midst of a question. A number of names in the list of directors are those of women formerly active in the woman’s KuKlux Klan. Marion County Klanswomen recently have been reported to be preparing to organize separately from the men and to divorce themselves from the political odium which attached to former leaders. Promotes Religion, Charity The incorporation papers shed little light. They read: “The object and purpose of this corporation is to promote religious, educational and charitable purposes, and for said purpose to receive, by gift, devise, or bequest, or otherwise, any money or property, real or personal, absolutely? or in trust to be used, either the principal or the income therefrom, for furtherance of any of the above-mentioned purposes, as designated in the charter and to hold and convey any real estate necessary for transaction of its business, or in execution of any trust.” It was pointed out that this provision would permit the Silent Workers’ Club to act as a holding company for real estate. It is understood the Klanswomen recently acquired property in Brightwood upon which they plan to locate headquarters. Directors Are Listed The papers list these directors for one year: Belle Thompson. Maud Huey, Ida Barnett, Minnie Retz and Ethel Cave. Directors for* two years: Nellie M. Johnson, Hazel F. Slider, Henrietta Harmon, Mabel Penny and Mona Woodruff. Directors for three years: Chloe Collings, Clara Conyers, Anna M. Stuart, Kathryn Vanasdall and Lillian G. Sedwick. Mrs. Sedwick is a member of the school board. She was on the KuKlux Klan slate for school commissioner and is understood to have been active in the clean-up movement within the Klan. She is so seriously ill at her home that she could not be interviewed. Incorporators mtlistecd as directors are given as Anna Frye, Minnie Wairfccott, Margaret Cosner and Elizabeth Engelking.

The Sisters, not being baseball fans, could not appreciate it all. The lodge practice had to be postponed until Thursday night, thereby delaying the program. No Official Action Mrs. Carty at first decided to take action in a resolution condemning the administration, but when the board of works promised a refund of the deposit, she delayed. Action may be taken later, Mrs. Carty said. “We were so delayed by not being able to get the hall that we haven’t time to hit back at the city,” she said.
