TWENTY CAME TO CLINIC


csos~S oayo iNuAoS
The second free T. b. clinic was
held in the Fed Cross rooms Wed.
nesday and IS persons were exam.
ined In the clinic and two In their
homes. Even with bad roads many
came from the rural districts.
"The old belief that people that
live In the country are not apt to
have T. b." said Emily G. Snivley,
state nurse, has not worked out In
our T. B. clinics in Kansas. We find
with the exception of the mining dis
trict In southeast Kansas, that the
number Of people having tuberculosis
has averaged about the same all over
the state. From the number Of re-
ported cases In Dickinson county
one would be led to believe there
was very little here but In the clinics
we found the average amount. VIZ
rarely ever find less than FIVE active
cases in one days work. In our
work In Kansas In 1921 40 per cent
Of the patients examined were on the
positive side. The saddest part of
the whole thing Is that Kansas Is so
inadequately equipped to care for
her tuberculars. In our state sani-
tarium we can care for 92 patients,
while Oklahoma can care for 500.
Surely this is need In which we
can interest our legislators. 1t is
only as we feel the need Of these
things In our state, and work for
them, do we have them"
OF the 20 examined yesterday, 70
were adults and six were children.

Cummins act. W. A. Garfield. presi-
dent of Carroll college, In more than
300 speeches made throughout the cam
paign. attacked Senator LaFollette' S

ing, as well as every other administra-
ton since he was sent to the senate

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT
IN TEXAS IMMINENT
OVER XII kLUX KLAN
Life of Party at Stake as
Result of Activities,
Says Lindsey.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept 5.-(By
The Associated Press. THE existence
of the democratic party in Texas and
the nation is at stake as a result of
the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, -
Colonel III. +. D. Lindsey of Dallas,
first national commander of the Ameri
can Legion, former mayor of Dallas,
and a member of the democratic state
convention in session here. declared in
a statement Tuesday night, when it be-
came known the platform committee of
the convention had rejected resOlu-
tions condemning the Ku Klux Klan.
'"The Ku Klux Klan issue is not
state, but national" Lindsey said. If
the democratic party does not purge
itself of the influence of this organi
zation it may soon become the party
of the mob.
THE result will be that voters will
cast their ballots not along democratic
and republican, but klan and antiklan
lines"
Lindsey also stated the next demo
cratic convention must take up and
make known its attitude on the khan.
Colonel Lindsley is expected to lead
an attempt to get minority report
on this issue before the convention.
1t was indicated by anti-klans Tues
day night that their Supporters may
break off from the convention if the
minority report is not recognized.

signed h. X. k" threatening murder,
was received Tuesday by A. Phillip

magazine, The Messenger" The

From friend New Orleans was

The letter warned Randolph to keep
out of white mems movements and to
unite with his own race Randolph
said he believed it was sent by his
enemies in the south and that it re-

happen In the south. 1t concludes:
Now, be careful how you publish
this letter in your magazine or we may
have to send your hand to someone

RESCUERS To REACH
ENTOMbED MINERS
THURSDAY. BELIEVE
Men Trapped 10 Days Ago in
Argonaut Mine May Be
Still Alive.

Jackson, Cal. Sept. 5.-Some time
the Argonaut mine will be reached, it
is generally expected here Tuesday. 1t
also is generally believed that some,
at least, of the men who were still
alive, as a report Monday that ans
wer signals had been answered and
heard by member of one of the re-
scuing crews was followed by others
in the same tenor Tuesday.
The rescue crew working from the
360O-foot level of the adjoining Ken
nedy mine toward the Argonaut fin
ished a detour around virgin rock
obstruction and Tuesday reached one
of the old tunnels connecting the two
mines. This tunnel was open to the
extent of admitting men to work, al
though muck and rock will have been
takeIf out to allow the passage of
wheel barrows and compressed air and
water pipes which were to be laid
Tuesday night.
After traversing 353 feet of this
tunnel, the rescue crew will be ready
to cut upwards IS feet to the 420O
foot level of the Argonaut
This work is expected rapidly, per
haps as fast as two feet an hour,
since in such cutting the rock falls
away from the feet of the men as
fast as it is detached.
The other rescue crew working
from the $500 foot level of the Ken
nedy mine. who have more than 100
feet of old tunnel to clear out first,
will then progress to cutting through
141.7 feet of quartz and other work
For this they expect TO use diamond
drills to cut small holes for admission
of air and perhaps water and food.
