DEMAND PROBE
Of XII KLUXKLAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11-De-
mand for an investigation of the ac-
tivities of the Ku Klux Klan was
made before the house rules COM
mittee today by Representative
Tague, Democrat. of Massachusetts.
There is no law to permit men TO

me whether white or black, Catholic

THREE MORE GIRLS ENTER
HOSPITAL TRAINING CLASS

The Perth Amboy City Hospital
has welcomed three more young
women from this city and vicinity
into it's training school for nurses,
Miss Emily Boardman, of Carson
avenue, this city. Miss Eleanor Til
ton of Holmdel, and Miss Margaret
Miller of Old Bridge. This leaves
three more vacancies before the
class is complete and these will no
doubt be filed before the end OF the
month.
In an interview with an Evening
News reporter. Mrs. Frank Parsons,
supintendent at the hospital. stated
that many more young women
would enter the training classes If
they realized the advantages that
nurses training affords. Besides
training them TO be competent in
taking care of the sick, it prepares
them, perhaps better than any
school or college could do. for the
later responsibilities of life. The
bright feature of the training per-
iod is the compensation that each
young woman receives each month.
Although she is receiving an excel
lent education without any expense
to herself, each young women re-
ceives an allowance or $40 each
month of the first year, s22 each
month of the second year and SIS
each month of the third year. All
of the text books are furnished by
the hospital.
The opportunity to take advantage
of this excellent training is now open
to three young women of the vicin-
ity, the only stipulation being that
each must have one year at high
schol. Application may be made at
the hospital at any time.

One of Mr.. Lloyd Georges secre-
taries who received the newspaper
men Just after the conference openet
smilingly said:
you cannot expect any news for
weeks yet"
Nothing occurred at this morn
ing's conference to suggest the pos
sibility of a break-off in the nego-
tiations. according to Sim Fein
officials who expect daily meetings
throughout the remainder of the
week.
Both sides were hopeful of a set
tlement of the Irish troubles when
the ENJOYS prepared to meet today
in Downing street. So far as the
British are concerned, however.
there is fly in the ointment in the
nature of a pronunciamento issued
at Dublin by De Valera. 1t reads:
Fellow Citizens: The conference
in which the accredited representa-
tives of the nation are about to en-
gage with the representatives of the
British government must profoundly
influence and may determine the
whole course of our country's fu-
ture. 1t will affect the lives and for
tunes of every section of the COM
munity.
"Whatever the differences OF the
past, it is to the interest. as it is the
duty, of all Irishmen to stand togeth-
er for Ireland now. Our delegates
are keenly conscious of their respon-
sibility; they must be made to feel
that a united ration has confidence
in them and will support them un-
fiinchingly. They share with each one
of us the ardent desire that this sec
ular conflict between the rulers OF
Great Britain and the Irish people
may happily be brought to an end.
but they realize that the ending
of the conflict does not depend upon
their will or the will of this nation.
The struggle on our side has always
been simply for the maintenance OF
a right that in its nature is inde-
feasible and that cannot therefore be
either relinquished or compromised.
THE only peace that, in the very
nature of things. can end the strug-
gle will be a peace consistent with
the nations right and guaranteeing
freedom worthy the sufferings en-
during to secure 1t.
such a peace will not be easy TO
obtain. A claim that conflicts with
Ireland's right has been ruthlessly
persisted in through centuries of
blood. 1t seems unlikely that this
claim will be abandoned now. Peace
and that claim are incompatible.

MORRISTOWN. N. j., Oct. IL
The mystery of who murdered eleven
year old Janet Lawrence in clump
of woods on the outskirts of Nor
ristown last Thursday, deepened to-
day as detectives abandoned the sec-
ond set of clues on which they had
worked.
Frank Felice, arrested yesterday
after neighbors had told of seeing a
wild man near the scene of the mur-
der, was said to have convinced 4 e
authorities he had no connection
with the crime. A report that an
escaped lunatic had been arrested
in Stamford. Conn.,, who claimed he
was in Morristown on the day of the
murder was denied by the Stamford
police.
Francis Kluxen, the fourteen-year-
old boy originally arrested. still is
under $4,000 bail but County Prose-
cutor Mills said he would not bring
the murder before the grand jury
which convenes today due to lack of
sufficient facts.
The only known clue left is an
anonymous letter from Philadelphia
signed Ripper" in which the writer
boasts of having committed the
crime. Detectives have asked the
Philadelphia police to try and find
the writer.
