REV. JONES ORDERS KLANSMEN FROM CHURCH
Methodist Pastor, Well Known Here, Causes Excitement in Terre Haute Church When 20 men, wearing Ku Klux robes and hoods marched into the Montrose Methodist Church Sunday night near the close of the evening’s services, the pastor, the Rev. George B. Jones, halted them before they coul dapproach the pulpit and ordered them out of the house. At first the hooded figures appeared inclined to ignore the pastor’s protest, but after he had assailed them with a lecture on what he thought of their conduct and had threatened to tear off their hoods, learn their identity and prosecute them for disturbing a religious gathering, they left the church. The Rev. Mr. Jones said that the Klansmen came in without any previous notice and that he did not know their mission. The appearance of the klansmen, while the congregation was singing the closing hymn, threw the church into commotion and the minister’s wife, fearing trouble sent in a call for the police. After the hooded figures had departed, the services were dismissed in orderly fashion.

per cent of “absent” used varies from sixteenth of one per cent in Lake county to 13 per cent in Cass county. “In Marion county in the 1922 general election—little more than 2 per cent of the vote cast was by “absent” voters. There were more than 91,000 votes cast in Marion county and of these 2,174 were by “absent” voters. Cass county has only about 13 per cent of the vote of Marion county and yet it used 2,161 absent votes on only about 13 per less than Marion
county.
“Allen county used 2 per cent, Vigo county 4 per cent, Steuben county less than 2 per cent, Lagrange county 3 per cent. There were many in the class ranging less than 5 per cent, but a number of counties used some- [ what more. Miami and Hendricks each used 9 per cent, Warrick and Fountain each used 10 per cent, Johnson used over 11 per cent and Martin county used 12 per cent. “Imagine from 5 to 13 per cent of the qualified voters of a county either being confined to their homes by sickness or the infirmatives of age unavoidably absent from the county on election day. And imagine the tax on notary publics and other officials authorized to administer oaths to take care of all the purats necessary to handle this great army of “absent” voters. “Martin county cast less than 5,800 votes and had 677 to vote by absent ballot. Out of every eight or nine voters one was either sick or away from home. Dubois county, adjoining Martin, cast 1500 more votes but used only 354 absent ballots. Other counties adjoining Martin with much larger voting population used vastly less, absent voter ballots. “No investigation has been con- j ducted in the state to determine the extent of frauds practiced, but the board has learned that some county | clerks have hired assistants to distribute and administer oaths and carry the ballots back to the clerk’s office. All of this is illegal and should be vigorously prosecuted. However, it would seem that unless the provisions of the law can be so rigidly safeguarded as to prevent fraud it would be better to annul it along with the
primary.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 27—William S. Baugh, Lafayette banker and his son, Harry Baugh are free today on a charge of violating the national prohibition laws after a trial in Federal court. Judge A. B. Anderson, directed the jury to acquit the men on the ground that evidence introduced was insufficient to acquit, in view of the fact that it was given by illicit booze dealers. “I won’t believe those bootleggers on oath” the judge said.
Decoration day in the United States is the day set apart to the soldiers and sailors who have fallen in the time of war, May 30th is said to have been chosen because it was the date of the discharge of the last soldier of the Union army in the Civil war.
