TWO KACEY LEADERS

Branch of Knights of Columbus Asks

To Resign

Des Moines, Iowa, May S1.-Resig-
nation OF two officers of the national
organization of the knights of Col
umbus. Supreme Knight j. A. Flaher-
ty of Philadelphia, and Supreme Ad-
vocate Joseph c. Pelletier of Boston,
Mass, was demanded in a resolution
passed by the Iowa knights of Col
umbus at the closing session of their
annual convention. The resolution
follows:
BE 1t resolved that whereas the
conduct of the supreme advocate of
the Knights of Columbus, Joseph c..
Pelletier, had been complained of to
the courts of Massachusetts,, and
while his case was pending before the
supreme court of that state, James A.
Flaherty, supreme knight. published
a signed statement in Columbia, the
official organ of the Knights of Col
was being influenced by religious
prejudices, we deem it right and pro-
per that James A. Flaherty make a
public apology to the supreme court
of Massachusetts, and its members for
his attitude and statements expressed
as his personal views and not those of
the order.' Representatives of the
Iowa state council to the supreme
council meeting are instructed to de-
mand the immediate resignation OF
Supreme knight Flaherty and Su-
preme Advocate Pelletier and to vote
as a unit on all matters tending to
remove these officers"
The supreme council is to be held
in Atlantic City in August.
