KU KLUX LEAVES NO
DOUBT OF IT'S STAND.

Several days ss9 The News ex-
pressed the belief that the local khan
of the Ku Klux, known now to BE in
existence mere, had nothing to do with
'the sending Of anonymous letters to
colored property owners on Madison
street, ordering them to sell out and
seek other locations. This belief was
confirmed when a letter, duly sign
ed, and bearing the seal of Putnam
Khan No. 10, Realm of Florida,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan," was
received The letter to the editor of
this paper said:
eve have noted your editorial in
last evenings issue in regard to GER
tain communications which have
been received by colored property
owners, and other anonymous COM
munications which have recently
been circulated in Palatka. We ap-
preciate the expression that you per
sonally do not believe that the Ku
Klux Klan had anything to do with
these communications and we wish
to assure you (and the public as
welD that your belief is ire true
status of the matter. The Ku KluX
Khan leaves no questions to be asked,
nor any doubt of authenticity in their
communications"
The News is glad to give publicity
to this letter, for it assures those
who have entertained mythical fears
as to the intent and purposes of the
organization which it is known has
existed here for some time. 1t is also
an assurance to the colored citizens
that there is no organization seeking
to force them out of their homes, and
that the letters sent to them were
from some mischievous person too
cowardly to come out in the open.

The Township WrangIe,

Hampton, Feb. 23-Editor Argus:
Much has been said and written re-
garding the action of the county
board of supervisors on the resoll-
ton of the city of Rock Island for
the merging of South Rock Island
and Rock Island townships. Little
has been said in explanation of
the action of the board. The merits
or dement's of the proposition had
no influence on the members of
the board. When the resolution
of the city of Rock Island was first
presented to the board the request
was granted. Few of the super
visors were familiar with the law,
relying on assurances that the reso-
luton complied fully with the law
under which the city was acting,
and that it was obligatory on the
part of the board to grant the re-
quest contained in the resolution.
Later, members of the board hay-
ing famiGariZed themselves with the
law, concluded that they had not
given sufficient study to the word
ing and meaning of the resolution
and to section 136 of township or
ganization laws, under which the
board was required to act. AS a re-
suit OF this study the county board,
at a subsequent meeting, rescinded
its previous action granting the re-
quest contained in the Rock Island
resolution and expunged from the
board records all action on the mat
ter previously taken.
1t appears that many people get
so deeply interested in what they
desire accomplished that thew can
readily see the intent and spirit Of
the law, whether it is there or not
Where the law uses emphatic words
those words are to be interpreted
IN accordance with the meaning of
the word or words contained in said
law. No one has right to leave out
a word in law and use words not
In the law to accomplish what they
could not accomplish IL the words
IN the law were used and given
their right meaning. Section 1875
provides for organizing a separate
or new town from portions of two
or more townships. Was the reso- !
luton of the city of Rock Island in !
strict conformity with said lawj
and If not, was it obligatory upon
the county board to grant the city's
request? The board decided in the |
negative. Why? The city commits |
sion of Rock Island was not setting |
out to organize a separate and new
town. 1t was not organizing a SEN /
arate and new town from portions /
OF two towns. 1t was using all of |
one township and a portion of an
other.
Portions means more than one
portion. Portions separated from
the two townships from which they
are taken, the line between said Dor
tons removed and the two portions

desire a knowledge of these ques-
tons from the viewpoint of the men
who created them 1 would be pleas
ed to place the information at your

DAN DROST HAS
Men AT BAY IN
ROOM WITH GUN
Flashes weapon to Keep On Two
Men, Il Is Alleged-Poliee Call
ed Into Affair.

Gun play in the lobby Of the
Como hotel at 5:45 o'clock yester-
day afternoon ended without any
shooting.
Dan Drost, publisher Of the Tri-
City Journal. held Lawrence Pedigo
and Gent Hippert at bay with a re-
volver until the police arrived and
put stop to the affair.
Pedigo and Hippert were arrested
by officers Charles Miner and c. L.
Babcock, but after being held for a
time, were released. Drost later
came to the station but was not
held.
1t was stated that Pedigo and
Hippert were to be arraigned in
police court at 10 o'clock this
morning, but there were no devel-
opments at that hour. Their cases
were formally continued until
March 9. The men are not under
bonds.
According to G. F. Martin, clerk
at the Como hotel, Drost was stand
ing near the desk when Pedigo and
Hippert came in. The two men
asked Drost to come to one side.
Drost refused and when the men
insisted, Drost pulled gun. Martin
said that Drost was tainted to
shoot and was told that he was
a coward.
According to Martin, Hippert
went in to a telephone booth and
called the police. Pedigo claims
differently. He said that Hippert
walked out of the hotel when Drost
pulled the gun and that the hotel
management called the police. He
also claimed that the clerk was
wrong about he and Hippert enter
ing the hotel together, and claimed
that hefhad come in to purchase, a
cigar.
Watched Drost's Movements.
Drost had been staying at the
hotel for several weeks, but left
last night. He is said to have paid
his bill early in the day and al
though he had left the hotel sew
eral times it was said that there
were signs that he was looking for
a good chance to leave without his
final departure being known, as
there was evidence that the hotel
had been watched during the entire
day by a number of men, who are
said to have had automobiles at
their service.
The affair was looked upon by
the police as another side issue to
the publication OF the Tri-City
Journal. Drost was attacked in
