| DR. QU|CLEY WILL NOT SUE
D enies Intention of Bringing Libel Action Some Inside Infor- nation About the Klan.

Rev Dr. Charles A. Quigley, pas tor of the Summerfeld Methodist church, where a Ku Klux Klan de- monstration was held some time ago and the minister of the church pre- sented with $150 by three hooded Klansmen, denied today that he in tends to sue the Catholic Transcript for $1,000,00O as the result of criti- cism directed against him and the K1an episode staged in his church.
 His denial discredits an anonymous writer, an admirer of Dr. Quigley, who sent a letter to the Transcript, official organ of Connecticut Catholic ism, predicting a suit to be brought for $1,00o,o0O, now in the course of preparation. However, Dr. Qulgley declared, he intends to answer the criticism in his address at the Ma sonic Temple next Sunday.
 A copy of the K1an password, signs and grip which is used by klansmen throughout the United States and in Connecticut reveals some interesting sidelfghts on the K1an folioS which are now playing in most of the lead ing cities Of the United States.
 How to Know Them.
 If you see any Bridgeporter with little red button and the palm of hand stretched upright on it, you know he is a Klansman. The method of becoming a Klansman and some were thus revealed today.
 After payment of $10 to become member of the Ku KluX Klan, you receive a small red button with the palm of hand stretched upright, ana the following letters underneath said hand, K. O. T. O. P
 ''The meaning of these letters, K. O. T. .P.'. to the alien world, or -nemhbers, is Knights of the Open Palm
 ''The meaning of these letters, K. O. T. O. P, to members of the Ku K1ux Klan is 'KLANS OBSERVE THEIR OATHS PERSISTENTLY.'
 ''The password at the outer door is WHITE
 '"The password at the inner door is 'SUPREMACY.'
 You might be asked if you know MIR. KOTOP.' and you will answer by replying, NO. BUT KNOW MIR. POTOK,' which is just the reverse of of the word or initials which Is on the bottom of the red button.
 E'The hand-shake of the Ku Klux KIan is just as ordinary hand-shake, only the left hands are used. If you are challenged when shaking hands you turn the other party'S hand toward your left. If you should challenge him, he will turn your hand toward his left.
 You introduce yourself to a mem Der of the K u Klux Klan by saying, T AM A KLANSMAN- and So- from REALM OF CONNECTICUT, KHAN No. x, BRDGEPORT.'

 And here her eyes rose slowly to his. Far away she sensed the som- Der face of Ben Craig. She had not much time. Carrigan was looking down at her now.
 Look here he said bIuntIy. you can't tie every steer in the corral to one rope. Miss siIvertre. Keep the brandin' iron away from me. The fire ant hot enough to hurt me yet. The iron won't make no marg.'' Jac thought of Maude Merriam at tells her that he loves another woman. She caught her breath. She made her eyes grow wide.
 ''Do you really. think that I would"
 Damn it, Jac. ain't Maurie and Carey enough for you? And there's Ben Craig iokin' at you like a wolf at a calf.''
 "Carrigan!'
 The timbre of her voice made him start She knew that he would nor forget her to look after Dolly Max well for some time
 'Weu?'
 Don you think I'm a f1irt?''
 ''Jac, I'm warmth you now. Don't feed me the spur no more. I'm the fairy godh other. I ain't the prince the story"

team Of last year. Edith DunmIfe

regulars last year and are almost
certain Of holding their places this
year. They dc. not. however, have

team, but every one Of the ten has
a chance to break into the lineup

among themselves for the three
positions which are not at present

left over from last year.
The first scrimmage for the
girls was held Tuesday evening.
No attempt was made to pick a
first team. Rather It was attempts
ed to pick the teams in such a
way that their strength would be
about equal. The outstanding de-
yelopment Of the practice was that
the center position is going to be
a hard one to fill. None of the
girls is tall enough to properly
plaS the position, and none Of
Them wants to play the position.
1t will. however, be necessary for
someone to play center, and tho
problem is to pick the one who
will be best suited. UnQuestionab-

est and most difficult position on
the team and the one who is pick
ed will have TO be Just about the
