Discussing his decision to remove from office any man whom he has ap- pointed in the event of such commits sioners enrollment in the Ku Klux Klan. the mayor said that he did not feel that any man was capable of holding position of public trust who would affiliate with any organization that realized 1t was so unwelcome in any city that it had to go into the outskirts to hold It's meetings.
 Can Remove "FOr Cause,-
 There is no provision Qf the char ter which prohibits membership in secret societies. A recent amendment. however, provides that the mayor may remove any appointee flor cause" There have been several in- stances of such removal and the only information furnished the public was in the form of a formal statement announcing that the dismissal has been for cause" Should the mayor decide that membership in the K. K. K. renders an official unfit for public service, he has the power to remove him, 1t is pointed out
 The article in question, which Is printed on page 31 of the city char ter. Is as follows:
 K s,sA.ss \ : The mayor Is authorized to remove for .qsalae thy member of any board or commission appointed by the mayor or any. other officer. ap- pointed by the mayor. and the mayor shall be the sole judge of such cause of removal and his order of removal shall state the reason therefor.''
 Impeachment Proceedings.
 In the case of elective officers, the mayor would find difficulty in un- seating those who joined the order now under the executives ban. Im- peachmeht proceedings might be in- stituted and would serve to a certain extent as a censure of the officials &C., tion. but 1t is believed that the mayor would be confronted by grave difficult ties in proving ample grounds for re- moval merely because of membership In the Klan.
 The mayor said this morning that. since he considers the principles and the actions of the Klan as un-Ameri- can and opposed to the ideals they claim to uphold--law and order-he feels that there is ground for prohibit ng the holding of konklaves in this ,ity. He insisted that he would call ipon the police department to pre- k vent gatherings of the organization If such action was not contrary to the charter of the city and laws of the ,tate.
 The executive felt that 100 per cent. cooperation would be given him by he members of the common council although two-thirds of that bodyss would be eligible to should they wish to be- ,ome Klansmen. He felt that the or Ter would not have single spokes- nan in the council and that the gov ,rning body of the city would be glad o lead off in drive to eradicate the <lan.
 Similar cooperation, he expects, will ,e given him by the city's fraternal ,odies. Regardless of whether they re composed in whole or in part of nen eligible to membership, he felt he several orders would join with hose bodies of men and women gainst whom he declares drive Is 'eing made. to see that the K. K. K. oes not obtain a foothold in New Britain.

Would Like to See Trolley Company Prosecuted for Overcrowding Mrs. Mu- ter Fined.

Imposing fines of s15 and costs each upon Clyde Rowley and Domonic Soccoly for driving overcrowded pub lie service cars, and s15 without costs upon Mrs. Helen Muter for allowing overcrowding on busses under her control, Judge F. B. Hungerford re- marked in police court this morning that he would like very much to see the trolley company prosecuted under the same or 8 similar statute
 Through Lawyer J. P. Conroy of Hartford. the accused entered pleas of guilty Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods recommended the fines as adopted by Judge Hungerford
 The three arrests were made last Tuesday on Park street by Motorcycle Policeman w. S. Strolls. In one of the busses in which Mrs. Muter was riding there were 1b passengers more than her franchise allows her to carry at one time. The other bus was also overcrowded the accused admitted.
 Lawyer Conroy remarked that Mrs. Muter is convinced that she is being persecuted while conditions are equal ly as bad on other lines as on hers. Whether this is true or not the busses violation of the law. hence his plea of guilty, he explained, He felt that the statute was framed to prevent con tinuous overcrowding, but that in the case of Mrs. Muter it was only at noon hour when, had she tried to do so, she could not have kept the peo- pie off the car, he claimed.
 Prosecutor Woods pointed out past violation of law on the part of Muter drivers. Failure to arrest causes the police department embarrassment since laxity might be charged against the policemen, he said. There is statute on the books and it has been he said, hence his recom- mendation for fines,
