The plan Of holding an outdoor

staged in early spring.
| 1.-THE success of organizing the
Khan in this vicinity has been
somewhat hindered, although sew
eral hundred members have been
obtained" Wendell Clark, Blacks
right hand man, said yesterday.
1.-THE chief difficulty he said,
"lies in getting influential men in
terested in the organization"
Black, who now seems to have
found a congenial habitat in the
town of Milan, is pursuing his
quest for members in Silvis, East
Moline, Moline and Rock Island.
The organizer, in presenting the
aims and purposes of the Khan to
prospective members. makes no
reference to the reforms accom-
plished by the organization in this
/ vicinity nor to plans for correcting
the faults of the community. His
talk concerns in general way the
alleged offenses perpetrated by
Catholics, Jews and negroes in the
civic, public and political affairs OF
the nation, elsewhere, but he makes
no mention of local conditions.
The initiation fee is $40. Any
one wishing to affiliate with the
organization can be initiated pri-
vately, without waiting for the
group limitations which are usually
held on Sunday mornings.

cites the contention Of the Ward at

PENDANTS and that the subpnnas issued
by Justice Morschauser are void.
The proceedings were not issued In

BEATEN UP, He SAYS,
BY NINE POLICEMEN

serts His Own Nightstick
Laid Him Out.

John A. Leach, who is acting as Po-
lice Commissioner while Richard E. En-.
right is in Europe. is investigating a re-
port that William Short, a. special police
man employed by the Long Island Rail
road, was attacked and badly beaten
late Sunday night by nine policemen
who were off duty and In plain clothes
Although the beating Of Short and
the investigation which so far has been
made are kept in considerable secrecy
records at the Rockaway Beach Hospi-
tai show that Short was taken there In
an ambulance, Sunday night and treated
for two broken ribs, many bruises and
four inch cut in his scalp, which he
says was caused by blackjack welded
by one Of the policemen.
Short asserted that he was positive
the men who attacked him were police
men and that he can back up that state
ment by many men and women who saw
the attack. but Inspector Conboy OF
Queens said that his investigation salts
fed him that the men were not police.
men.
Short said he was stationed at the
Sea Side station, Far Rockaway,
handling the crowd sreturning from the
beaches. Passengers are not allowed on
the platform there until the train pulls
into the station. Short had just ordered
a man and a woman to stand back when
nine young men In plain clothes, all OF
clean cut athletic build, pushed through
the crowds.
stand back" said Short "You
can't come on until the train comes."N
"Who are you to say what we are
going to do?" demanded one of the men
I'VE are policemen"
Cant help it. You'll have to stand
back. It's orders, you know
ITO hell with orders" shouted one
man. Anyway. you don't give any
orders to u.s.
One man grabbed Shorts nightstick
while another one shouted: See how
hard you can hit him." Short pulled
his gun, but he had no more than got 1t
out of his pocket than it was kicked
from his hand. One shot went into the
air. He went down under kicks and
blows from the nightstick and fists.
Several hundred persons. according to
Short, saw the attack, but none offered
to- interfere. A few women, he said,
protested that 1t was a shame" He
said all nine of the men flashed police
mems badges and that he saw them
plainly before he lost consciousness.
Somebody called an ambulance and
another person telephoned for the
police, but 1t was more than half an
hour before any policemen arrived. The
ambulance took Short to the hospital
and later took him home, where he still
is laid up from the effects of the beating.
