CHICAGO LAWYER :
DENOUNCES THE
XII KLUX KHAN

Chicago, Oct. 4.-The Ku Kluk Klan
'engenders deep hatred in the
hearts of creeds or races discrimi-
mated against, particularly when the
klan lays claim to a 100 per cent
Americanism, John V. Clinnin. assis-
tant United States District Attorney,
said in a statement last night after an
Investigation of the organization.
The investigation came after re-
ports had reached federal authorities
that demonstration was planned by
the organization that might possibly
result in race trouble and property
damage, Mr.. Clinin said.
There is nothing in the charter of
a sinister or mystic nature" he de-
clared, but it is apparent that the
membership is automatically barred
to negroes, Roman Catholics and
Jews. 1t is unfortunate that an or
ganization of this kind should be in
stituted at this. time when the whole
world is seeking to recover from the
shock sustained in the world war.
He assailed the klan's 100 per cent
Americanism claim, asserting that all
creeds and classes helped win the
war.
"Oragnizations which have for their
object the usurping of the powers OF
government, either executive, legisla-
tive or judicial are against public pol
ICY" he continued. "Class prejudice
hatred, persecution, discrimination
whether against color or creed, by
corporate bodies or individuals, can
bring but one result-riot, disorder

nals.'
