Concerning the third robbery,

he was assisted by an unidenti-

meagre haul of $4, he said. Fol-
lowing the hold up, he said he
caught freight for Albany.
Couples are Favored
The most peculiar angle noted
during the several hold ups had
to do with the robbers custom of
accosting only youths who were
in company with girls. In no case

NEGROES
CONDEMN
KU KLUX
Representa- tt es of
Colored People Are
Heard by Congress
sional Probers

Washington, Oct. 12.-Defend
ing the Ku Klux Klan, William j.
Simmons, it's imperial wizard, told
the house rules committee today
that if it had been lawless band
it could not have obtained such
large membership, comprising
'the leading men Of many COM
munities."
Washington, Oct. 12.-Before
calling William j. Simmons of At
lanta, imperial wizard of the Ku
Klux Klan, to the witness stand,
the house rules committee heard
representatives of negro organiza-
tions today in support of resolu-
tions providing for a congressional
investigation of the order.
William Monroe Trotter of Bos-
ton, speaking for the National
Equal Rights league, the first wit
ness, declared the Klan was "a
private unofficial organization,
which interferes with personal lib
critics of peoples, nost of whom
are outside its membership" Such
interference, he charged, was an
attempt to prevent the proper ex-
ercise of government.
Coercion Is Scored.
"The method of coercion" Trot-
ter said, sis shown by the sending
of threatening letters to persons to
cease doing certain things" and
by use of the hoded gown. Hhe
characterized the Klan as "a real
menace to the sense of personal
security of millions of citizens"
The Rev. S. e. J.. Watson, a ne
gro preacher of Chicago, told the
committee the Kn Klux Klan was
proving a hindrance to the prog
ress of the negro by breaking
down his morale through fear and
terror.
Bell Boy Branded.
"The claim by the Khan that
the negro is seeking social equal
ity is unwarranted," he asserted.
The Rev. David Simpson Klugh
of Boston, a negro, declared the
K1an should be Investigated to as
certain whether wholesale charges
against it were true.
Citing the case of alleged fore
head branding of a negro bell boy
in Texas, Klugh said it was neces-
sary to show by an investigation
whether the Klan was guilty OF
the act.

MEETS DEATH
in A CISTERN.
MRS. THERESA HUHN's BODY
is FOUND BY HER SON
EARLY THURSDAY.
FELL INTO cIsTERN WHILE
TRYING TO GET WATER,
is BELIEF.

Mrs. Theresa HUM, for many years
a ,well-known resident Of New Ulm,
met a tragic death at her home on
North Washington street, early Thurs
day morning. The circumstances con-
nected with the sad occurrence can
only be surmised, for there were no
eye-witnesses.
Finds Mother in Cistern.
When Hugo Huhn, who resided with
his mother, returned home shortly
after o'clock Thursday morning from
work at the Eagle mill, where he is
employed, he noticed that his mother
was not about the house, although he
usually found her up and busy at
work upon arriving home from work.
Neither had his breakfast been pre-
pared, which he always found waiting
for him on the table when he returned
from his duties at the mill. He inn
mediately went out into the yard in
search of his mother, little realizing
what had befallen her, and, noticing
that the covering of the cistern had
been removed, looked inside and be
held her corpse in the water.
Tried to Get Water.
The son Immediately notified Coron-
er G.. F. Reineke, who went to the
HUM home to investigate the tragedy.
He expressed the belief that Mrs. Huhn
had attempted to get a supply of rain
water from the cistern, which had just
been repaired, and as the pump had
not yet been installed following the
repairs, she apparently removed the
boards which served as a temporary
cover. Leaning over to obtain the
water by means Of a dipper which was
found lying near the cistern, it is sur
missed that Mrs. HUM either lost her
balance or was suddenly seized by a
fainting spell and fell into the con-
tainer: She had not been enjoying
the best Of health recently, not having
fully recovered from an operation to
which she submitted about year ago.
This fact gives credence to the belief
that she suffered a sudden fainting
spellwhile bending over the cistern.
- Was 65 Years of Age.
Mrs. Huhn, nee Theresa Weide-
mann, was born in Saxony, Germany,
August ID, 1855, and was, therefore,
nearly sc years Of age when called by
death. She came to America, directly
to New Ulm, in 1877, and the following
August was. married in this city to
John HUM, who died in 1908 as the
result OF an accident at the Eagle mill,
where he was employed for many
years. Mrs. Huhn was the mother of
seven sons and one daughter, one of the
former passing away in infancy. The
surviving children are: Williamy Hugo,
Frank, Edwin and Otto Huhn and Mrs.
Alfred Windland, all of New Ulm, and
Arthur Huhn of Cavour, S. D. She
also leaves seven grandchildr as we'll
as two sisters and one brother, who
reside in Germany. Her tragic death
came as severe blow to the family
and many friends.
Funeral services were held at St.
Pauls Ev. Lutheran church here,
Saturday afternoon, Rev. c.. J. AL
brecht officiating, and the remains
were laid to rest in the City cemetery
