Weeghman, Restaurant Owner,
Turns Over Farm For In
itiation Ceremony.

There are 2,376 new Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan in Chi
cago today. Altogether there
are nearly $4,000.
2,376 new members joined
this murderous organization
near Lake Zurich at midnight
Tuesday. They took the oath
on broad meadow in a drlv-
ing rain.
Early Tuesday afternoon in
telligence agencies of this paper
learned of the planned initla-
.tion. At that time. the exact
location was shrouded in
mystery.
Our photographer was i'm
mediately instructed to be pres
ent and obtain a photograph OF
the rites.
Promptly at 100 P. M. Tuesday
night the automobile bearing Chicago
Whip representatives fell in line be-
hind the cavalcade on North Central
Park Ave. Other cars coming later
fell in behind it. The Whip car was
then a part of the Ku klux pro-
cession. The strange process o
stopped six miles south of Lake
Zurich, where the password was
given.
On broad meadow under a driv-
ing rain, lighted by thousand torch
es, nearly three thousand white men
took a mysterious oath to obey the
commands of the Klan.
Obedience to these commands has
meant blood-shed, mob violence and
outlawry in the South. What will it
mean in Chicago?
The central feature at the initia-
tion was a blazing cross. Near one
end of the cross, seated on a sort of
throne, sat William Simmons, of At
lanta. He had come for the express
purpose of conducting the rites.

KILLS WIFE, SETS
HOME AFIRE To
COVER CRIME
North Carolina Man Held For
Arson And Murder Follow
ing Brutal Crime.

SALISBURY, n. G, Aug. 90
After numbering his wife, Mrs. Ella
1rueblood, Leroy Trueblood left her
body III their home here, and set the
house afre, helping, it is believed, TO
oblitcrate his crime with flames.
Held on Two Capital Charges.
He IS now being held on two CAPT
tai charges, murder and arson, arson
being capital offcnsc in this state.
Shortly after midnight Monday
night flames were seen leaping from
his home Efforts of the fire depart
ment failed to save the house, and it
WAS almost reduced TO ashes.
Find Wife's Body in Ruins.
After the flames had died down,
the body of Mrs. Trueblood was
found among the ashes. 1t was at
first thought that she had been trap
ped by the flames, which broke out
while she was sleeping. Closer eX-
animation of her body showed, how
ever. that her body was but slightly
burned. but several deep bruises and
lacetations were found. Her head
was also crushed As if by some blunt
object
A heavy club was also found among
the ruins, but was SO badly charred
by the flames that it could not be
definitely pointed To as the death
weapon.
Trueblood Held by Coroner.
Upon being closely questioned, Le-
Roy Trucblood became nervous and
gave several contradictory answers.
After examining number of wit
nesses. the coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that in its opinion Mrs. Ella
Trueblood came to her death by foul
means, and that she WAS dead before
the house was burned

was referred to the Committee ON Dis
irict Affairs, of which Senator Ball
is chairman, il was stated that thu,
action was for the purpose OF lnvcs-
tgating charges which have been
openly made against him.
The most serious charge made was
that Johnson had accepted $4,000
from the "Lowden slush fund.- with
which to buy the votes Of the Georgia
delegation to the Republican conyen-
ton in Chicago in 1920.
1t was further charged that during
the National campaign after President
Harding had been nominated. that
Johnson, without authority, assumed
dictatorship over the speakers bu-
rcau,' with headquarters in Chicago,
and wantonly disposed of the $4,000
appropriation for Republican speak
crs before the campaign was half un7
der way. 1t is said that Johnson en-
ploycd the services of many who were
utterly unfit to place the aims of the
Republican party before the public,
and thus discharged many of his per
sonal obligations by furnishing his
obligees work.
Many stories are told OF how he
sent to Georgia for men to come and
speak in Illinois, at the same time
sending lllinoisans to speak in Cali
fornia, when he could have easily OBJ
tanned capable speakers at the places
in question, and at great saving to
the Republican treasury,
Legislative Relief" Affair
These charges have all been made
by Johnson's enemies with the inten.
ton of proving the contention that
he has consistently prosttuted hi.

G.. B. Gardner, whose red face and
shifty eyes are known in South Side
circles, testified that Mrs. Bagley died
of heart failure as did Mrs. A. e..
Tar, wife of the firms president, are
now accused of perjury. Inquiries
proved that Mrs. Bagley was severely
burned about the hands and that her
body was highly discolored. Mrs.
Gagley has never had heart failure

Attempts were made to spirit the
body away thru the firms under

$4,000 Gambled Away
In spite oi the perilous times now
being experienced, it is estimated that
fully $4,000 was gambled away at
l0c a throw. One pinwheel was
watched al 35th and State Sts., which
purported to give away clocks aud sill
vcrWarc. The chances Rerc l0c each.
There were thirty numbers. But each
number had five subdivisions, only one
being lucky" In other words. il a
player put l0c on every number, he
still had 10 chances to lose. The total
odds against him were l49 to /.
The total amount on the boards
when the numbers were covered was
$500. This wheel was turned on an
average OF once minute, netting To
its operators an approximate average
of $4,000 per hour. Playing four
hours per night at top speed, it would
Yield "A return Of $4,000 per night, OF
slightly more than 5000 for the seven
nights. In three hours that it was
watched Thursday night, one clock
was given away.
Taking this one wheel as typical
it can be easily estimated thai at lcast
$50,000 was gamblcd away during Tho
week.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 20.-Officials
of the Ku Klux Klan, noting the uni
versal opposition to the order now
growing throughout the country, and
fearing the disintegration of the or
ganization, are making strenuous ct
forts to knit it back together.
Do Newspaper Advertising.
Full-pagc advertisements have been
released for publication throughout
the country. One of these appeared
in the Chicago Tribune Tuesday morn

William J. Simmons, Imperial wiz
ard of the Klan takes cognizance OF
widespread public opposition to the
order, and says that traitors within
our ranks are making a concerted cf-
fort to discredit us He further says
that the Klan is not designed to act
as law enforcement or moral cor
rection agency.

dissolved the order in North Carolina,
and himself resigned, He said in con-
nection with his resignation:

VICE. EXPOSE
Charge Charles Jackson With
Running Gambling Den And
Selling Whiskey.

South Side gambling circles were
startled when, on the night of July 10,
Carter Hayes, alleged representative
of the gambling syndicate which con-
trolls, regulates and protects gambling
in the Second Ward, was kidnapped by
secret investigators.
The Chicago Whip carried exclu-
sively the story of Hayes kidnapping
and the dramatic incidents surround
ing it.
Almost one full month later, daily
papers are carrying the same story
with Hayes full confession, i'll addi-
ton. According to these stories this
syndicate operates under protection
furnished by political lcaders allied
with the city hall machine.
The names and locations of the dives
involved in Hayes confession are ia
miliar to all South Siders.
Prominent among those mentioned
is the Railroad Mems Club, 3448 In
diana Ave.
This club is said to be owned by
Charles Jackson and Bill Cowan.
Jackson is the brother of Dan Jackson,
said to be the receiver of the "syndi-
cate money!
1t is significant that the protection
money paid by this club, said 10 be
long to Charles Jackson, was but
$500 per week, while others paid
amounts ranging from $4,000 per
week upward, some as high as 100000.
Whiskey and gin were also said to be
sold there.
