ASKS ten THOUSAND
FOR SONS DEATH

Mrs. Cornelia Stevens, mother of
Waldo w. Proffitt, who was electro
cuted May 81 by wires of the Ilolton
Power Co. on the Dogwood road near
the Holton Interurban railroad cross
ing, has filed suit for $4,000 against
the company. The complaint states
that on May 81, Proffitt was employed
on IA dredge of Imperial Water Co. No.
l, which was crossing the interurbm
tracks, The boom of the dredge be
came caught in telephone wires, and
Proffitt climbed the boom to remove
the wires. The power wires at this
point are described as one foot above
and three feet north of the telephone
wires, so that Proffitt Is head was but
10 inches from them when he tried to
free the boom. Owing to the proximity
of the steel boom, the power jumped
this space, it is alleged, sending $4,000
volts through Proffitt s body, killing
him instantly The complaint charges
negligence on the part of the Holton
Power Co., and sets forth that Mrs.
Stevens has been deprived of the sup
port of her son. Don c. Bitler is at
torney for Mrs. Stevens.

CITY COUNCIL TAKES
UP PAVING

The city council last night took up
the question of paving portions of
Fifth and Sixth streets, Euclid and E'
Centre avenues.
The way was cleared for "Resolutior
of Intention No. 241," the official
measure which makes provision for this
particular Improvement, by the adop-
tion of plans, profiles and specifica-
tions which will be part of the com
tract when it is. finally let. The for
NAL Resolution was unanimously adopt
ed and ordered printed.
The board authorized purchase of n
power lawn mower for use in the park,
the lawn cutting job having reached
proportions which render the hand
power hair cut no longer practical.
City council members are beginning
to get in training for the sessions or
the board of equalization WHICH will
begin on August If and continue for
two weeks. Mayor Fawectt and CLERK
Loofbourow are putting their heads to-
gether to reduce the assessment prob

meets they will have all the data be.
fore them aud will be able to promptly
furnish reasons for the faith that is
in them should assessments be chal-
lenged by any with n feeling that they
are not being fairly treated. Also, the
board will be able to tell mt glance
whether assessments are out of step in
any place and can proceed with ad-
justments on their own initiative.
The council ratified the deal with
Jake Duman making it possible for
the kids to go in swimming. Reports
were to the effect that youngsters arc
awaiting themselves of the opportunity
to get into the plunge and that bedlam
in that end of town during the swim

council S action is providing for long
felt want.
The council will meet again Friday
morning for the purpose of taking ac

ATLANTA, Ga. July 27.-Negotia-
tions to establish an international or
ganization for the maintenance of
white supremacy are in progress be-
tween the Ku KluX Klan of Alabama
and an Anglo-Saxon order of England,
it was announced here today by the Ku
Klux Klan.
j. o. Woods, Klan leader, in an ex-
elusive interview with the United
Press, explained the purpose of the
proposed affiliation is to form a union
of white people throughout the world.
"There are about five orders in Eng
land its dominions now which were or
ganized primarily to oppose the influx
of cheap black and yellow labor into
the colonies, Wood said.
cit is highly improbable that the or
ganization would take the form of an
international Ku Klux Klan because Of
the Klan's fundamental principle,
'Americanism, but it is possible
that we will affiliate.
