Blaine in Denial.

Madison, Wis. Governor J. J..
Blaine declared today. that he was
unalterably opposed to the principles
and objects of the Ku' Klux Khan and
through his executive communications
and orders had shown his opposition
since the first appearance of the or

The executive said in a statement
to the Associated Press, that he had
never received endorsement of the
Khan as far as he was aware and as
serted that the expressions of the
Democratic state central committee
as far as they referred to him were
without foundation. He said that in
numerous speeches throughout his
campaign for the Republican guber-
material nomination, he had speci-
fically attacked this society for its
activities and its purposes.
Referring to the claim of the Demo
cratic committee that he would have
permitted use of state property by
the Ku Klux Khan had public atten-
ton, not been called to the fact by
the Democratic candidate for COVER
nor, Governor Blaine declared that
as long as he was governor estate
property would not be used by an
organization which suppresses the
identity Of it's membership or per-
mits the masking of its officers and
members operating in the dark or
otherwise"
He said that when informed of the
Khan meeting in Milwaukee he had
directed the sheriff of the county to
provide deputies at the fair grounds
to prevent use of the grounds by
the organization. W.

of three-fourths of the annual fire toll

broadcast simultaneously from twenty
radio stations tonight as part of the
observance of Fire Prevention Day,
the anniversary of the Chicago. fire of
1871.
"The time to put out fire is before
it starts" he said. "No amount of fire
extinguishing apparatus can cope with
universal carelessness. By the educa-
ton of the public, industrial organiza-
tions and school children to avoid care
lessness, Indifference and selfishness,
the desired result can be brought
about.

Kozlof, Tamloff, Russia-Luther
Burbank's Russian rival, Ivan A.
Mitshourin, a septuagenarian, who
works daily in his experimental garden
near here despite his advanced years,
is still turning out hybrid wonders in
fruits, melons, nuts and vegetables.
Professor Mitshourin is we'll known
in American horticultural societies,
and many orchards in the United
States are planted with the Mitshrouin
cherry. His garden now is full of
trees, bushes and plants in various
stages of experimental development.
One of his latest achievements is a
new melon, cross between water
melon and a canteloupe, which is
oval in form and with dark green
striped rind, much harder than either
of its plants.
The experimental field is full of
trees bearing plums as large as ducks
eggs, black currants the size of
grapes, and an extraordinary almond
said to have been produced by crossing
bitter almonds with some wild nut.
Some of the most extraordinary
trees bear three kinds of fruit
apples crossed with pears; apples
crossed with crab apples, and apples
crossed with both crab aples and pears
each species of fruit growing from one
grated branch properly pollenized.
Mitshourin is very modest. When
