The exercises were opened by thesaudi-
ence singing America in concert after
which the orator of the evening was in
troducsd. Mr.. Taulbee announced that
the object of the meeting was to discuss
and listen to the discussion of the aims
and OBJECTS of the American Protective
association. He said in part "every age
has it's heroes and every nation its ene-
mics. The heroes of this country are
those who have banded together tc pro-
tect and preserve its civil integrity. Its
enemies are the pope at Rome and the
papal hierarchy.
''rhe American Protective association
| has been organized to purify politics and
| it is non -sectarian and affiliates with nc
i political party. 1t is composed only oi
A American citizens without regard to theiI
nationality and | may also say without
regard to race, color or religion. 1t does
not meddle with your religious faith in
the smallest degree. l Care not whether
you are idolstef or Christian. our order
protects you in it. The American Pro-
tectlve association is in strict accord with

1.-THE pope has meddled with our politics
and it is to defeat the Vaccinations that
threaten the very existence of our ma
tional life that the order was founded.
I History tells that we have had no ltss
than seven periods that nay well be
termed golden ages. The present era OF
! American freedom and prosperity is well
| termed the seventh. These institutions
are all under the Stars and Stripes. The

and the right of free individual ballot are
| the foremost and most sacred OF them all

against it.
! The applause that greeted the speaker
throughout his entire discourse showed
] the hearty sympathy that prevailed am ong

States Evidence Didn't Save Him

CARSON, New, Sept. 4.-Chris Grass,
charged with having moulds for making
counterfeit money in his possession, was
cleared in the United States district court
this afternoon. The principal witnes ses
against Grass were Detective Harris and
Frank Jennings, who turned states evil
dence. Grass claimed that an officer came
to him in Reno and told him he had
three counterfeiters in his employ.
Grass said he would discharge them, but
the officer asked him to keep them un til
ne could complete HIS chain of evidence.
When, finally, officers went to arrest the
men they had skipped out to Oregon.
Harris asked Grass to go to that state
with MIN to identify Jennings, which he
did. This made Jennings angry and he
implicated Grass. who was placed under
arrest Jennings turned states evidence
and pleaded guilty, but to no avail, as all
three men have bsen cleared. The mar
shal and district attorney promised to in
tercede with the judge for Jennings and
get light sentence. He will be sem
fenced on SATURDAY..
