Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 10.-This
city recently had its "wave of crime"
and the Ku Klux Klan offered it's SER
vices to the city officials to help bring
it to an end. The offer was accepted
and the total membership of the Klan
here, about 700 men. in every con-
ceivable walk of life. turned out to
help the police.
Their work was done entirely in
secret. The evil has been largely
stamped out and the Ku KluX Klan
claims that it was one of the chief
factors in this successful campaign.
This is one of the ways the Klan
would work in New York to-day. II it
were fully organized there, and what
it hopes soon to be able to do, accord
ing to information given to THE New
YORK HERALD.
Birmingham is one of the strongholds
OF the Klan and the centre of its activi-
ties throughout Alabama It's efforts
were directed against criminals and un-
desirable citizens of both the white and
black races. 1t is one Of the arguments
OF the executive officers of the Klan, and
it should not be regarded as simply
an anti-negro organization because it
happens that up to this time it's active
operations have been confined to the
Southern States. where the criminal un-
! desirables are for the most part negroes.
1t would be different in the North, they
assert, where any person. regardless of
color. who opposed the constituted au-
thoritles, or sought by any means to
flaunt or undermine the governmental
institutions Of the United States, would
feel the heavy hand of the Klansmen.

For Law and order.

a few weeks ago there was parade
Of the Klan in Jacksonville, Fla. It
occurred at night and the men were
masked and clad in the long white
robes or sheets which were worn by
the members OF the original Klan when
they sought to intimidate the recently
liberated and ignorant negroes and
renegade carpetbaggers who made life
IN certain communities of the South
unsafe in the late sixties. The parade
was accompanied by no disturbance of
any kind, The several hundred white
sheoted figures rode ike ghosts through
the darkness. Back OF this parade"
which was the term applied to IL by
the officers OF the Klan themselves
there Is an interesting story which
serves to throw light on methods Of
the organization Just as the recent hap
penings in this city have done.
When Il became known to ,somc OF
the local authorities OF Jacksonville.
Including the Mayor that the Kian
purposed to parade through the streets
OF the city some OF the city officials
Immediately became alarmed. They DID
not want anything TO occur that might
lead TO a public disturbance, posslb
race riot.
The local members OF the Klan
called Col Simmons on the long dis
tance telephone at Atlanta ard ex-
pained the situation TO him. AT once
Instructions were given 10 countermand
the orders for the parade At the same
time a high official Of the order was
sent 10 Jacksonville to confer with the
Mayor and explain 70 him that the or
ganization believed IN the preservation
Of law and order and that II would do
nothing to disturb the peace Of the !
city.
AS u happened. certain OF the high |
officials OF Jacksonville and very |
iarge proportion OF the members OF the |
police force were Klansmen. The Mayor /
was finally convinced that the purpose /
Of the organization was TO act as a vol
urtary auxiliary. TO the law enforcement

Assembly Kills EIaht.t4our Bill.

Eight-hour day legislaron will not
fare well in the Wisconsin Legislature.
This is indicated by unfavorahle re-
ports from the labor cominittee and by
votes which have already been taken
Ir the legislature ON labor bills.
There is every Indication that no eight
hour day legislation will be enacted by
the legislature. BY vote of 80 to 40
the assembly killed a bill providing for
an eight-hour day on all state public
works. This bill was killed after high
way construction had been exempted.
The farmers voted solidly for the de-
feat of the measure. To save his bin
from desaat Assemblyman Conway
asked that his measure declaring 1t
to be a general policy of the state to
favor eight-hour day legislature be
again referred to the committee.

The other day she was walking
with her father, a duck hunter. Betty

proach them. After little coaxing
the ducks swan up ana ate pieces Of
popcorn from her hand.
