Wagner, darkly, at the Klan's head :

and direful mystery is putting lines oil
worry in Kleagle Wagner's counte-

Three sleuth- like individuals have
been padding after him on rubber heels
wherever he goes. He spent most Of
Yesterday in City Hall--on business. !"
he said, though he refused to state the
nature Of the business.
Wherever he went the mysterious
three dogged his footsteps. They kept
tabs on him when he went to lunch ;
they watched him In and out Of the
corner cigar store; they stuck TO his
trail until he went to headquarters late
yesterday afternoon, and then, incon :
siderately, when he went downstairs to
point them out they had disappeared.

The Civic Association was moved to

the signature is suggestive Of the Ku

Miss Harlean James. secretary Of the

Since the personnel of this secret

asks that the press give as wide pub

impossible to identify, but whose ac-
tivities for this reason tend to bring
rcproach upon the members Of an hon

mfr. Mcfarland states his associh-

and has interested itself only in ma
tional questions. though It has rather
steadily undertaken to give assistance
through lectures and similar service to
local projects associated with its definite
aim-that of making American com
