three hours standing around on a
frozen field, covered with snow and
ice, the District Ku Klux Khan held
its second large initiation last night
about four miles from the District
line in Maryland near the Marlboro
road. There, lighted up by the
blazing glow of a huge fiery cross
twenty-five aliens forsook the self
ish pursuits of fraternal alienation
and became citizens of the Invisible
Empire, knights of the Ku kluS
Khan.
The klansmen of Washington, to-
gether with a few representatives OF
the organization from nearby Mary
land and Virginia, gathered early fol-
| the ceremonial. and after attirine
themselves in the mystic garb of the
order circled several campfires and
sang and danced in vain efforts to be-
come warm. while awaiting the ar
rival of the candidates.

raphers also were brought upon the
scene. guarded by a convoy of robed
figures, lest they pry too far into the

automobiles and a large bus, hired

fires. 1t was then that little groups
began the singing of some of the old
songs, melodies of which carried far
in the otherwise still crisp air of the
country night.
At about $50 the klansmen in slow
single file made their way to an ad-
joining field, and formed the sides OF
a large rectangle in front of a blaz-
ing fiery cross. the glow of which
lightened up a space of several acres
The candidates were then brought on

at the now silent white robed figures
