d. B. Williamson, Postal Inspec-
tor, Detailed to Investigate Clan
Reveals Facts
DID NOT FIND THAT
MEMBERSHIP WAS 500, 900
Williamson Found Nothing to In
dicate That the Clan Contribut-
ed Money to Charity

Chicago is the northern stronghold
of the Ku Klux Khan, according to
testimony given today before the
house rules committee at Washington
ID. c., at the opening OF the hearings
to determine whether there should be
a congressional investigation OF the
khan.
o. B. Williamson, postal inspector
detailed to investigate the khan, fur
nished the committee with the most
illuminating testimony presented. Mr..
Williamson has been in Atlanta, look
ing into the affairs OF the organiza-
ton.
Many interesting myths concerning
the khan were exploded by William
sons testimony. For. instance, VIII
hanson found no evidence to support
frequently reiterated claims that the
Khan has a membership of 100000 in
the United States.
On the contrary, the best member
ship record that he could obtain show
ed that the organization numbered
about $4,000. He added, however, that
Edward Young Clarke, imperial
kleagle, assured him the membership
was about 10000.
Where Charity Begins, Ends
Williamson found nothing to indi-
cate that the khan contributed money
for charitable purposes. He discov-
cred, on the contrary, that So Of every
$40 goes to pay the salaries of the
wizards, kleagles, klOkards and other
officials of the khan.
Some Modern Wizardry
The imperial wizards salary is
$1,000 a week, according to William
son. Imperial Kleagle Clarke, second
In command, and his assistant, Mrs,
Elizabeth Tyler, described as a pub
licity agent, get their compensation
from propagation fund.- - which now
amounts to $4,000.

SHEER NONSENSE Is TALK OF GAME In
In STATE BEING PLENTIFUL IS CLAIM
WISCONSIN GAME IN CRITICAL CONDITION

ers, the loss of natural cover through
the cutting of the forests and the de-
velopment of farms and other condi-
tions have worked aaginst them. One
thing that has helped to preserve
them more than would otherwise be
the case is the One-buck law that pre-
vailed for one season and will be in
force again next November.
Reforestation, in which Wisconsin
is likely to be active within the next
three or four years, viii do great
deal in preserving some kinds OF game
particularly deer and cartridges, by
prevention of forest fires would tell eff
fectively in their favor. So would the
planting of trees along the shores of
lakes and rivers.
Another effective way of preserving
the game bird and animals in Wiscon-
sin lies in the establishment of wild
life refugees in different parts of the
state. These will give needed oppor-
tunity for them to breed and multiply
in safety. The Nortern Lakes park
region, if the movement to save it
for public use succeeds, would make
an admirable refuge for many kinds
of game. GG4.E III
Need Park S. elters
The creation at different points Of
several similar parks, areas of woods
and water would provide still more
asylums and help greatly to maintain
better hunting beyond their limits.
wisconsin game is in critical con-
dition. It has been decreasing steadily
for years and unless something is done
will continue to decrease until it
reaches the point of extinction in so
far as the most desirable kinds of
game are concerned. There is still
time for wise action. In many Wis
=consin counties more deer are killed
each year than are killed IN the en-
tire state of Colorado, while in Maine
and New York, old settled states as
they are, there is still good deer hunt
ing. The question for Wisconsin to
decide is whether we shall follow the
ruthless western methods which have
made the buffalo all but an historic
animal or shall we follow the conser-
yative policy of state like New York
and the continental countries of Eu-
rope
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1921-10-13

Many reports about the quantity Of
different kinds of game that are ready
to fall prey to the hunters prowess
are often grotesque in their disregard
or truth.
"Partridges and prairie chickens are
more plentiful than they have been in
history" according to recent report.
Soon we shall be told that deer are
more plentiful in the north woods
than they have ever been before.
All talk of this kind is sheer non
sense. The truth is that game is get
ting scarcer and scarcer A few years
ago cartridges were in danger of ex-
tinction, but several closed seasons
have enabled them to become COM
paratively plentiful. However, the
fact that there are more of them, now
than there were four or five years
ago does not restore conditions that
prevailed twenty or thirty years ago.
The open season this year will nat
uralIy give them setback. Naturally
dangers to which they are exposed,
added to the shooting this year, may
necessitate closed season next year.
What is true Of cartridges is sub
stantially true Of prairie chickens.
They have come back fairly well dur
ing the time that it was illegal to hunt
them, but they are not numerous
enough and cannot rear young fast
enough to keep pace with the demands
of the hunters.
AS to ducks, said to be very plenti-
full because quite number have been
seen in Wisconsin waters during the
summer, no authentic statement can
be based upon Wisconsin breeding.
Duck hunting in Wisconsin depends
upon conditions that prevail in the vast
northern breedings grounds.
Deer Growing Scarce
Quail, though often seen in some
parts of the state, cannot be said to
be numerous. Shooting quail has been
prohibited for number of years and
yet the quail; one of the most sociable
of wild creatures, has not returned in
the numbers in which they existed
years ago.
Deer have been getting scarcer
every year for two or three decades.
The increase IN the number of hunt

Leroy Howe Charged With Muir
dering Brother Is Freed of the
Charge

Leroy Howe of Walworth county,
serving a life term for murder, was
pardoned Tuesday by Governor Blaine
after having spent "a years in the
state prison at Waupun. The governor
said that he had been convicted on
circumstantial evidence.
Howe had been charged with kll-
ing his brother in 1897, and although
he steadfastIy maintained his in1o-
cence was found guilty by jury and
sentenced to life Imprisonment. He
began his term on March 1S, 1892 and
has been in prison ever since.
The governor in granting him an
absolute pardon says that there is
no conclusive evidence to show that
the man murdered his brother.

William Westphal, who lives west
Of Reedsburg, is happy over the ar
rive1 of his two younger brothers who
landed in Reedsburg Monday from
Germany. They laft Hamburg the %
of September and reached New York
over a week ago since which time Mr..
Westphal has been anxiously watch
ing the arrival of every train. Two
years ago he sent them money to
come as they were DESTROYS of seeing
America but they could not come at
that time. One brother was only
three years old when William left his
parents home to come to America and
the other one he had never seen SO
it is not to be wondered at that he
was longing to see them and hear of
things back home.

CLOSING OF A CASE IN COUNTY COURT BRINGS
TO LIGHT THAT TWO OF THE HEIRS HAVE BEEN
MISSING FOR SOME TIME--ESTATE is Sc, 500

About one year ago John Fitzpat-
rick died in the town of Woodland
without will and naturally his prop
erty would go to his brothers and
sisters, since he never was married.
After the death OF his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. John Fitzpatrick. the other
heirs signed away their rights in
favor of the son who had remained on
the farm. There are two brothers
and two sisters here and two brothers
away. One has been gone for eigh-
teen years, the other for eleven years.
When the last one was heard from he
was at Medford and wrote about a
year ago that he was going to South

Centerville Outlook: "Chairman
Russell of the County Republican
committee received a message last
Tuesday from the State Republican
committee making Inquiry as to what
the people of the county thought of
the action of the State Board of
Equalization in-doubling the assessed
valuation of the taxable property of
Reynolds county, and requesting that
the chairman wire them Immediately
upon receipt of the message. We
made an effort to get an exact copy
Of the message, but Mr.. Russell had
left town. This action of the Repub-
lican State committee proves con-
clusively to our satisfaction that there
is some politias mixed in with the re-
cent decision or order of the State
Board of Equalization, whereby the
assessed valuation of Rey nolds Coun-
ty was doubled. Our readers will re-
member that all the members of the
State Board are ''dyed in the woor'
Republicans. Why would the Repub-
lican State Committee be SO anxious
about che matter? Here is the meat
in the cocoannt: The late Repub-
lican legislature was one of the most
extravagant bodies of the kind for
many years, and something must be
done in order to pay the extra ex-
penses. Naturally it must come off
the people, and those counties return
ing large Democratic majorities. it
seems, have been hit the hardest.
While we are on the subject we want
to compliment Mr.. Russell on his re-
ply to the telegram from the state
committee. His reply in substance,
was that the increase was unjust and
disapproved by both Democrats and
Republicans"
