U. S. district attorney. Complaints

from each member with apparently
no accounting; that it charges $3.50
for regalia costing less than $500,
that it is corporation operating
for profit and that numerous lawless
acts have been ascribed to persons
acting under the guise of the klan.

POSSE LOOKS. FOR BANDITS
Especial to The Tribune

Max, Aug. 30.-While resisting q
holdup east of the Max depot at lC
o'clock Monday. evening, a laborer- by
the name of Goodwin from the Ozark
district of Missouri, was shot and
died eleven hours afterwards. He had
come to this section with two or more
comrades and was working through
the harvest fields. Robbery was the
motive of the attack, as the men were
believed to have some of the money on
their person earned in the South Da-
kota wheat fields.
.. Ordered to Halt
Goodwin was ordered to halt by two
bandits as he approached the depot.
He turned his head slightly after the
command to throw up his hands and
the highwaymen fired at his head.
Goodwin dropped in his tracks and
never regained consciousness. s.
The town was aroused by the shoot
ing and many people rushed to the
scene of the holdup. First aid was
given Goodwin by the local physicians,
but there was no hope from the first
as the man was fatally wounded.
Posse on Countryside
A posse was formed at once and has
been securing over that section for
hours. Sheriff Welch assisted Sheriff
Stefferud of Mclean county. The
bloodhounds were sent from the peni-
tertiary but the trail was too old and
the dogs could not be induced to work.
Goodwin had come to this section
only few days ago. He was a nice
young man about % years
of age. He and his comrades made
good impression upon the people in
that vicinity and great indignation is
felt in the Max territory.

SHAW WRITES OF
WHAT HE'D Do IF
HE WERE 4 WOMAN

LONDON, April 24-In a letter
to Judge Henry Neil, of Chicago,
Bernard Shaw expresses himself as
follows:
Il have said that If I were a
woman 1 should refuse TO beat a
child for less than $4,000, and that
nation that will not guarantee the
proper nurture Of its children does
not deserve to have them.
Il have also said that we should
not sterilize the excellent old Betsy
Trotwoods, who would have children
and bring them up well if they had
not to pay the price of having a
man thrust upon them as well.
Il do not forget that a house
without a man init is not an ideal
home for a growing boy or girl; but
as the average house is a house
without a man in it Che being at
work all day. the school or other
social agencies could do almost as
much as the father now has any
chance Of doing.
THE woman risks her life, and
that is quite as much as she can
be reasonab bly, expected to under
take even with a full guarantee that
she shall not have it crying TO her
in vain for food whilst Pekinese
dogs are eating outlets in the next
street"
