CONFESS THEY
u|BELED K. OF c.
MEN CONVICTED OF CIRCULATING
BOGUS OATH
Admit in Court That Oath Published in
Menace" Was a
Fake

Considerable speculation has been
rife in nearly every community in the
country over an oath alleged to be ad-
ministered to and taken by members of
the Catholic order of Knights of Colum-
bus. This alleged oath was reasonable
and murderous and many people out
side of the Catholic church have been
extremely loath to believe it genuine,
In this connection the following will
prove interesting:
Philadelphia, Feb. THE North
American publishes the following:
"Charles Megonigel, of Forty-third
and Brown street. who printed last
spring circulars purporting to carry an
oath taken by the Knights of Columbus,
pleaded guilty to charges of libel and
conspiracy to libel the order. c. ii.
Stage. of Forty-second street and Lam
caster avenue, who distributed the cir
culars. offered no defense to the
charges.
OOhOCiiNC Ndo oooPNhNOs 80 oOSi'
cases, after Joseph P. Gaffney, counsel
for the order. told Judge Wilson the
knights felt they had been vindicated
by the pleas of the defendants, and had
no desire to punish them further.
"yam.s a. FiaLoriy, supreme knight
,r the order, began prosecution of the
pair after thousands of circulars had
been distributed broadcast in the city.
The oath was couched in the most re-
voting language, and was furnished to
Megonigel by the Menace, an anti
Catholic publication of Aurora, Mo.
Counsel for the defendants read to
the court a letter sent to him by the
Menace, in which he admitted the oath
had no foundation in fact.

Saginaw Theatre Notes

The letters Theatre has some great
shows coming. Every show is travel
ing intact. The show is all selected
and is what is known as "Road
Show"
Week of Feb Is will be one long to
be remembered by good judges and low
ers of Vaudeville and Comedy The
bill will run as follows Locke and
Wolf, society dancers; Skipper, Ken
nedy and Reeves, very funny singing
trio; Florence Modena, assisted by
Charles Gardner, in ''For Reform;"
Barnes and Robinson, presenting "Bits
of Musical Comedy" and LaVeen Cross
and Company, in the second edition of
their famous spectacular offering, "Ro-
man Sports and Pastimes."
On Tuesday, afternoon, following
matinee, Locke and Wolfe will teach
the latest "tango" and hesitation
waltzing steps free of charge to all per-
sons in the house during the matipse.
Locke and Wolfe are considered by ex-
perts to be second only to The Castles
as exponents of the terpsichorean art.
Their Interpretation of these famous
dances is entirely different from the
much abused and oft criticised Ameri-
can tango as the most of us know it.
Starting Thursday matinee, Feb. 10,
the attraction will be Halton Powell S
Big Success, "Henpecked Henry" "
which made such big hit here last sea-
son. 1t is the troubles of hen-pecked
man raised to the 95th power and the
comedy from beginning to end is clean
cut, refined, and positively convulsing.
One scene in particular is claimed by
the management to be the most anus
ing ever presented in vaudeville the
audience often being helpless with
laughter. 1t is where the shrewish
wife finds the old sport in a gross in
iquity and procession marches around
the stage to funeral dirge. Sad care
will have no place at the Jeffers during
this engagement.
The Bijou are showing some remark
able pictures and the singing is quite a
feature.
TRAFFIC in Souls. the big sensational
six reel picture will be at the Academy
3 days, starting Feb. Is.
Fiske O'Hare comes to the Academy
Feb. 21. "Where the Trail Divides
will be the attraction at the Academy

Additional Local

of Scottish Rite Masons. Mr.. Beeman

the cast that exemplifes the work.
A large number of persons are at
tending the twenty-fifth anniversary
celebration of the Clio M. e. church as
we are getting ready for press, and the
occasion promises to be a most happy
one in every way. We hope to give a
comprehensive report next week.
At the council meeting, Monday eve-
ming, Allie Williams was appointed dep
utS marshal The council also provided
for insurance under the Workingmen's
Compensation Act for village employees.
This win cost about $4,000 per year
and will necessitate reducing the fire
department from fourteen men to six.
A gentleman has suggested to the
editor that by hauling the gravel for
the new pavement at the present time,
about 50c per load could be saved in
hauling charges. This, it is said.would
amount to perhaps $500 on the job,
which would provide wire reinforcement
throughout if the work is done in
concrete.
