ST. AUGUSTINE POSTOFFICE rs
BELIEVED OLDEST IN THIS COUNTRY

St. Augustine, Jan. 21.-St. Au-
gustine is believed to possess the
oldest postoffice building in the
country. Postmaster Charles F.
Hopkins, after research extending
over a period of two years, has re-
ceived copies of official records in
the Archives of the Indies" at Sc
vile, Spain, showing that the struc-
ture he now occupies was erected
some time between 1868 and 1903
by one Gonzalo Mendez. The. King
of Spain purchased the building in
1904 as a residence of the Spanish
governors of Florida and it served
as such until Florida was transferred
to the United States in 1921.
In the archives at Seville were
found '1etters and dispatches of the
governors of Florida seen in council
from the years 1868 to 1870" and
one referring to the purchase of a
home for the governor in st. Angus
tine indicated that the housing stu
alton in America more than 800
years ago was little better than it
has been the last few years. 1t read:

Wizard of Invisible Empire De-
CIareS This Is Answer to
Governor Allen.
BIZ nited Press

Bu ntfed Press
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-The de-
feat in the recent elections Of W. Y.
Morgan. aspirant for the governorship
Of Kansas and of Albert J. Beveridge
for United States Senator from In
diana was brought about primarily as
a result Of Governor Aliens fight
against the Ku-klux Klan in Kansas.
This was the answer today of the
Invisible Empire to Allen, who has
announced that a bold attempt on the
part Of Imperial Wizard Evans TO con-
dismal failure.
Evans and other khan leaders ap-
parently are in Washington hoping to
vindicate the khan of the many charges
against it. They also desire to place
on the official records the klans aims
and beliefs. The wizard has seen
President Harding and some con-
gressional leaders.
COnfers With Officials
Evans admitted that he has been to
many of the official buildings in Wash
ington, although he declined to say
who he had seen. 1T seems that it
Is not enough for Governor Allen to
defeat his own policies, his industrial
court and the candidates he backed
in his State through his activities
against the klan." G. w. Rice, one OF
the imperial wizards party now here,
declared. 1T seems he was still un-
convinced when he defeated Albert J.
Beveridge in Indiana, where he made
four major speeches in Beveridges be-
half. denOuncing the khan in all OF
them in most vitriOlic lanUage.
He apparently seeks to sink still
further into the depths of political
oblivion through a continuation of his
attempted persecution of the khan
although repudiated in unmista1abla
tones at the polls.
In answer to the charges relating
to conditions in Louisiana, alleged to
have been brought about by the klans
the imperial wizard offered the past
years crime record for that State.
