night when Koerner lodge No. g.,
composed solely of German mem
bers, by unanimous vote seeded
from the parent organization. This
action, it is understood, will be fol-

United States, which number about
$4,000 members. This lodge has 10
members and was the instigator of the
meeting held here at the last ses-
sion of the supreme lodge, de-
handing the right to have the ritual
printed in German. Fiery speeches
were made and resolutions adopted
condemning the recent action Of the
supreme lodge at Washington in re-
gard to the German ritual question
and denouncing the speech of Supreme
Chancellor Blackwell on the German
question. The plan for organizing the
German Knights Of Pythias has not
yet crystallized.

shsrin's Son 1T Memphis, Tenn. Reveals
the Plot OF the Mob.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept TO- Bob Nc
Carver, son of the pewly-eleoted sheriff
Of Shelby county, has unfolded the
whole plot of the Kerrville lynch
ing and is now in jail, failing
to give $4,000 bonds to insure
his remaining in the city. He was
invited to participate in the massacre
of the negroes by IL. N. Smith, one of
tho men now in the county jail under
indictment for murder in the first de-
gree. The invitation was declined
but the lynching came of as
planned. When the invitation. to as
sist in the assassination was rendered
to him it was represented that his
father knew all about IL, and that
Judge Cooper, of the criminal court,
was not in the dark. These represeu-
tations were made by Smith with the
intention, 1t is said, of mixing Sheriff
McCarver up in the affair through his
son, so that his hands would be tied II
an investigation should be instituted
by the authorities.
All the details of the plot were dis
closed to young McCarver and from
his lips VIII Cox, the jailer, Chris Huff
man and Joe Theirs were made aware
of what was to happen. Jailer Cox
denied he knew anything Of the affair
before the grand jury and is in jail on
charge of perjury. 1t is conceded
the grand jury is in possession of the
most damaging evidence against the
parties in jail charged with the kill
ing, and it is confidently intimated an
indictment will be returned in day
or two and bench warrants will be is
sued against the parties who are sus-
pected of having been among the men
who did the shooting. If guilty, as
charged, of murder in the first de-
gree on six counts, hanging will be the
penalty.
