FOR PROBE
Chicago Federal Attorney May
Proceed Against K. X. X.
Declares Order Bars Negroes,
Catholics and Jews.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-The Ku KIux Khan
'engenders deep hatred" in the hearts
Iof creeds or races Disseminated
against, particularly when the Khan
lays claims to 100 per cent Ameri-
canism," John V. Clinnin, assistant
United States district attorney, said in
a statement today after an investiga-
ton of the organization.
The investigation resulted after re-
ports had reached federal authorities
that a demonstration was planned by
the organization that might possibly
result, in race trouble and property
damage, Clinnin said. "Therej is
nothing in the charter of a sinistel. or
mystic nature" he declared, but it is
apparent that membership is auto
maticany barred to negroes, Catholics
and Jews.
at is unfortunate that an organiza-
ton OF this kind should be instituted
at this particular time, when the
world is seeking to recover from the
shellshock sustained in the World
war"
He assailed the Klan's 100 per cent
Ame ricanism claim, asserting that all
creeds and classes helped win the war.
Colonel Clinnin refused to state
whether a grand jury inquiry would
be conducted into the affairs of the
Khan here, but admitted he had Sc
cured a list of officers and members.

Dublin, Oct. 4.-Sinn Fem Ireland

Preparations are methodicaHy under
way in both directions. While the

de Valera. are working out the details

The Irish delegation is prepared to
leave Dublin Saturday and will be in
London to spend all of Monday in con-
ference among themselves before the

The Irish republican army is being
trained in the mountains near Dublin
and a review was held Monday,
Richard Mulcahy. chief of staff of
the Irish republican army, declared
the Irish republican army, declared
government that still has its foot on
Irelands throat. But" added Null
cahy, the Irish republican army has
a fabric which cannot be broken.
The enemy is still humoring the tiger
in ireland. The enemy hopes to de-
YOUR the flesh. You have been train
ing for war and hope you realize it,"

THREE MAY DIE
Wounded Victims of Texas X.
X. K. Condition Serious.
Sheriff Hit When He Tried to
Halt Parade.

Waco, Tex, Oct. 4.-The condition
of Sheriff Bob Buchanan of McLennan
county, who was shot under the right
arm, the bullet probably penetrating
the lung, in shooting and stabbing
ARRAY at Lorena, near here, on Satur-
day night last, when the sheriff at
tempted to stop parade of the XII
Klux Khan, while still critical, is re-
ported someB hat proved.
Attending physicians announce an
operation to remove the bullet will
probably be delayed unless the condi-
ton of the patient takes a turn for the
worse.
Three wounded at Crisis.
OF the other ten who received
wounds, three are reported seriously
injured.
The session of the MeLennan county
grand jury to probe the Lorena and
other affairs of like nature, will prob
ably be delayed a few days until the
exact status of the wounded men is
known. Should any of them die. it is
probable murder indictments will be
returned.
Probes In Six Counties.
Dallas, Tex. Oct. 4.-The grand
juries in six Texas counties have been
charged by the presiding judges to
probe deeply into theNactivities of the
Ku KluX Khan.
In the charges to the several grand
juries, the presiding judges have asked
that a most rigid investigation be
made.
Judge Hare of Sherman: Judge Den
ton at Paris; Judge Leslie at Sweet
water; Judge Warren at Tyler; Judge
Hamilton at Austin, and Judge Nc
DoweH at Beaumont, are the judges
who so far have asked Ku Klux Khan

PICKING WORLD

tcontinuad IRON PaEe One.l
viii send them around, for the Giants
can run the sacks.
Yanlzs Are SIuggers.
The Yanks. on the other hand. have
the habit Of smuggling their men around
the track. Can they do it in this Sc
ries? Figures for the season show
the Yanks excel in run making, but
they have made but five more hits
than the Giant and in a tight series,
the supposed bulge of the Huggins
men at bat may fail to materialize.
McGraw, as compared with Higgins,
| is a seasoned worlds series campaigner
and a seven-timei pennant winner in
his own league. As a strategiSt, he
has shown himself to be superior to
the midget manager in the way he has
handled his team this season. Hug
gins knows ball players and how to
develop them, but he is untried as a
worlds series field general.
The big series from all indications
promises to be a battering affair. Both
teams will have their fighting clothes
on. Victory means something between
$4,000 and $1,000 apiece for the win
ming players and both are familiar
with the Polo grounds, so neither will
have an edge in this respect.
Both Have "Home Crowds"
Also the rivals will be playing to
world of support.
McGraw has always been partial to
the smuggling game. The hit and run
is his favorite method of attack but
he can mix 'em up when the occasion
arises. The science of smuggling Incl
dentally is a second nature with Yanks
and players like Ruth, Peck, Meusel
and Pipp are big stumbling blocks for
any pitcher to face. Yet, you can
never Judge what a player will do in
a worlds series by what he has done
during the regular season. More often
some comparatively obscure player
turns Up as a batting hero. So, no
matter which way you turn in sizing
up the rival teams, a stone wall of I'M
certainty confronts you
In comparing the regular players,
man for man, the team shows a bal
ance pretty even, tho the Giants are
stronger in the box and behind the bat.

Chicago Oct 4-WHEAT-Whea prices
had an upward tendency today influenced
more or less by an opinion current that
there is but little unsold wheat in Europe,
that there will be no world surplus this
year whereas at the end of last year there
was q large one. Absence of selling pres
sure was also a feature. The only offerings
of consequence came from houses with
northwestern connections Opening price,
which varied from unchanged figures to &c
higher with December $1.1S1a to $119A and
May 81. 234 to S1.23SL, were followed by a
slight sag and then by moderate upturns
all around.
Sharp declines took place owing in a
large degree apparently to absence of eX-
port business and to assertions that Argen-
tina was under selling the United States.
The close was heavy, 2szc to 394c net lower
with December S115A to S11514 and May
81 192 to $1.20.
CORN-Notwithstan frost last night,
corn was firm, with wheat. After opening
unchanged to &c higher including Decem-
Der at 49szc to 495ke, the market scored
additional gains.
Subsequently, profit taking sales led to
setback. The close was weak, u c to 5sc
net lower with December 49Ac to 1880.
OATS-Oats derived strength from other
cereals, starting 1kc off to a like advance,
December 3614e to SG7sc and then made a
general upturn. s
PROvISIONS-Hig quotations on
hogs gave lift to provisions.

TRY BUCKNER IN KANSAS
Case VIII Be Heard Before Wyandotte
County Court.

County Court.
Wyandotte county will try William
Buckner for the killing of Clifford
Rhea, according to an opinion from
the attorney generals office. The
opinion has been sent to Governor AL
len and outlines the legal status of
the case.
Buckner has been arrested in Wyan-
dotte county and held for trial in the
district court Missouri, tho, claimed
the man and witnesses to the killing
of Rhea have made affidavit that the
crime occurred in Missouri. On this
showing Governor Allen recently ap-
proved an application for extradition.
Buckner, however, was promptly sur
rendered to the Wyandotte sheriff and
is now in Jail. The sheriff refused to
surrender the man to Missouri Off
Gals. The state legal department as
serts that this state has full control
over Buckner and that he cannot be
surrendered until the charge against
him in Kansas is disposed of or IN
some manner wiped from the docket.

Mother Cat Braves
Flames for Kittens

Margsville, Cal, Oct. 4.-This town
has a cat heroine.
Fire recently destroyed the John
Carstenbroolz barn. Knowing her kit
tens were in the barn a fine Maltese
cat rushed madly into the burnt 1g
building and succeeded in rescuing two
of her litter. In trying to save the
lives OF her little ones she had an eye
and an ear burned, and the claws on
her feet were burned off and her fur
badly singed.
She was a sorry-looking spectacle
running around while the firemen
were fighting the blaze.
