CO. SAN|TARIUM TO

SUPERVISORS MEET.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES PROM.
iSE TO RAISE ROW AS RESULT
OF EXTENDED INQUIRY ORDER.
ED LAST JUNE BY SoLoNS.

Anticipating something different"
from the ordinary first days meeting
supervisors are awaiting tomorrow 3
opening session with keen interest as
a result of reports being circulated
throughout the county decks were be-
ing cleared for a stiff fight on the
tuberculosis sanitarium.
The fight, it is rumored in many
quarters, will center about what kind
of report the committee named at
the June meeting to investigate the
charges against the institution, will
make. The charges grew out of an
attack by Thomas N. Haskins. a
member of the board, and brought an
extended inquiry into the operation
OF the sanitarium. The resultant obi
um had its inception in an allegation
that a Peru patient at the county
maintained sanitarium had been lit
orally thrown out" after she had
been entered there as a patient.
The charges were later denied and
an extended inquiry tended to dis
prove them Then came demand
for sweeping investigation, which
was conducted during the month by
a supervisors committee. The re-
suit of this inquisition will be made
known tomorrow for the first time
when the solons are called to order,
by Chairman Farnsworth. Reports
spread around the court house this
afternoon, We're that two reports are
in existence, one of which is rumored
to be a direct contradiction of thel
other, and both probably will make
their appearance before the board 4

manding to be heard on the sanitari-

identified with the management of
the sanitarium the past three years
or more. is ready to defend in toto
the conduct of that institution dur
ing his regime.
Bad Feeling in Evidence.
There is evidence of bad feeling in
some quarters and with the supervis-
ors as the mentors, prospects are that
there will be return to some Of the
old time thrillers which used to make
supervising an interesting part of
the county's existence, when the san
itarium proposition is called up for
decision one way or the other.
To date the solons have, it Is
said, managed to keep pretty well
out of the wrangle. but their chances
for continuing this policy appear slim
now that the thing is on the verge
of coming 70 head in so short
time.
Mrs. Bertha Logan superintendent
of the sanitarium, resigned her posi-
tion few weeks ago, with the under
standing that she be given relief from
duty in October. Mrs. Logan's resig-
nation, it is claimed, had nothing to
do with the investigation, but was
prompted by a desire on her part to
take year rest before again resuming
her profession.

 AS ANARCHISTS
SAYS SHOULD BE MADE FELONY FOR MAN TO HIDE BEHIND A MASK UNDER GUISE OF ONE
 HUNDRED PER CENT AMERICAN

wEATHERFORD, Texas, April A. Federal Judge James c. Wilson de- nouncing the Ku Klux Klan from the bench today said it was nothing more than a form of anarchy and its mem- bers were anarchists of the worst type. He said the Klans operated first by getting as members sheriffs. then police. trial judges and preachers. in smooth system of chloroforming the government under the plea of one hun dred per cent Americanism.
 In line with Governor Parker of Louisiana, Judge Wilson said that the State officers of Texas should use an iron hand in expressing the evils of the Klan wherever found, and that the Texas legislature should make it fel- ony with heavy penalties for any per son to hide behind a mask and drag the good name of the State In the mire contrary to American principles, and not to be tolerated.
