Thousands in Big Parade.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.}
New Orleans, Lathe American
Legion, following a brisk business
session today, paraded this afternoon
More than 10000 men "fell in" for
the parade, and the brisk autumn air,
contrast to the balmy weather of
the first two days of the convention,
lent added zest to the event.
1t was day to make one throw out
his chest and step out proudly and the
buddies, after nights sleep, were
apparently as full of zip" as ever, and
in their regular spirit-"rarin to CO.,
Through miles Of narrow, stone
paved streets, down the broad con-
course of Canal street, winding in and
out of the "vieux carre" Gold town
established by the Spanish and French
founders OF New Orleans, the vet
Grams of 1918 marched today.
The announcement by Alvin NJ.
Owsley of Texas, that he would ac-
cept the nomination for the national
commandership if it were offered him,
appeared to me crystallizing the SEN
timent of the south.
Mr.. Owsley, former attorney
general of Texas, and chairman for
two years of the Americanization com
mission of the legion, brought in a
report this week, as spokesman of the
commission, in which it was declared
that a deliberate effort was being
made to inject pro-German account
of the world war into the school text
books in many parts of America.
The report also contained declara-
ton in favor of total exclusion Of
immigrants from the United States
and asserting again the stand Of the
legion in opposition to the recognition
by this government of Soviet Russia.

BRITISH PROTEST
RUM SHIP SEIZURES
Formal Protest of British Government
Filed With State Department
This Afternoon.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

Washington, D. C. A protest
against continued seizure of British
vessels by prohibition agents operating
outside the three-mile limit was pre-
scented to the state department today
on behalf of the British government.
The British complaint is understood
to have been based principally on the
case of the schooner Emerald, of Ca
madam registry, which is said in adj
vices reaching British officials to have
been searched on Monday by the Am
erican prohibition navy off the New
Jersey coast, more than eight miles
from land.
When President Harding's cabinet
recently decided that prohibition en-
forcement against ships should stop
at the three mile limit except in the
case of vessels in communication with
the shore by use of small boats their
embassy officials are said to have gain
ed the impression that no more for
eign ships outside this limit were to
be molested until the whole question
had been settled in the courts.
For Vigorous Defense.
In the case of the Emerald, how
ever, it is held by the British that
there was clear violation of the new
enforcement policy. A feeling of i'm
patience over the situation is under
stood to have been manifest in the
British protest, which was coupled
with request that an explanation be
furnished as soon as all the facts can
be ascertained.
From the British viewpoint, it is
emphasized a continuance of seizures
outside of territorial water is partic-
ularly Objectionable, coming on the
heels of the recent British not declin-
ing flatly to adopt Secretary Hughas'
suggestion for an extension of tie
jurisdiction of the navy beyond the
marginal line. The impression is given
that the British government regards
that phase of the situation as closed
and proposes in future vigorous de-
Tense of the rights of the British YES
sells as outlined in the British note.

St. Louis, Mo.-A coroner's inquest
was scheduled to be held this morn
ing to determine whether there were
any mysterious circumstances con-
nected with the death of Francis
Schlatter, Sc years old, who won ma
tional renown quarter of century
ago with claims of power to heal, in a
rooming house here Monday night.
The police expressed the belief that
Schlatter's death was caused by
hemorrhages induced from pneumonia,
but are searching for woman who
was with him when he died.
Mrs. Agnes Schlatrer, a lecturer for
a church publication, arrived in St
Louis from Kansas City last night
and declared she believed her hus-
band had met with foul play. She
said her husband had a following of
spiritualists who opposed Schlatters'
contemplated confirmation into the
Episcopal church of which she is 8
member.
Miss Evelyn Hartmann, the land
lady at the rooming house, told police
that the woman living with Schlatter
on one occasion gave her name as
"Mrs Madeline Black" and on another
occasion said she was Mrs. Schlatter
Schlatter was an eccentric charac-
ter, often retiring to the mountains
to recover from the strain of his mis-
sions. He is pictured as preaching
his mission to thousands from the
hills in the Rocky Mountains and
multitudes flocked to hear "the divine
healer" He wore a picturesque long
black flowing beard and was attired
in black robe.
After disappearing several times, he
finally dropped out of sight and the
local police several times received
slegrams from his wife who formerly
made her home in Chicago, asking aid
in searching for her husband.
At one time Schlatter was given
nationwide publicity as the man who
"cured Mrs. Mckinley" mother of
President Mckinley.

DENIES XII KLUX
>. USE OF AUDITORIUM
Mayor Hoan of Milwaukee Takes Rap
at the Hooded People in Let
ter to Leader.
fBy Associated Press Leased Wire,

Milwaukee, Wis. Led by Mayor
Daniel W. Hoan, the auditorium board
is expected tonight to refuse permis-
sion to- the Ku Klux Khan to hold a
meeting in the big city building. This
action is indicated by letter written
by Mayor Hoan in reply to communi-
cation from C. Lewis Fowler, Atlanta,
Ca, in which the latter attempted to
explain some "misapprehensions" of
the Khan entertained in this city,
which Mr.. Fowler had recently visited.
Mayor Hoan's reply to Mr.. Fowler
reads in part:
"Tour letter of October 16 stating
that you have been sojourning here
from Atlanta, Ca, in the interests of
the Invisible Empire is before me.
'You inform me that the Ku Klux
Khan has been grossly mirepresented
and you set forth in full the purposes
and alleged virtues of the order.
"Let me say: First, that for law and
order this city stands first among all
the cities of the world. Consequently,
for you to come here from the state
where lynchihg is the most popular
outdoor sport to tell our people that
they need this organization with its
hoods and nighties to insure law and
order. is in itself ridiculous. We en-
courage all, including yourself, to
bring to our officials in the ordinary
way, any evidence of law breaking -
we are ready to deal with crime. Any
claim, therefore that hooded knights
of an invisible empire directed from
your imperial palace are needed here
to enforce law and order is a clear,
fraud
Secondly, any organization of dis
guised men can lead nowhere except
to law-breaking and violence"

early today. While newspapermen
again were barred from the courthouse,
it was understood that Prosecutor
Beekman of Somerset county and his
assistants began at once consideration
of the stenographic copies tof state
ments taken yesterday from relatives
of the slain rector, including those of
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, his widow,
and her two brothers, Henry and Willie
Stevens. None of the officials or de-
tectives would offer any explanation as
to what may be expected today. Crowds
of curious persons attracted there by
persistent rumors that two more ar
rests may be expected at any time,
gathered about the courthouse to await
developments.
Mrs. Hall was summoned from her
home today to open her safety deposit
vault at the Peoples National Bank.
What was found in the vault was not
disclosed Meanwhile, detectives were
checking up on newly acquired in
formation. Great secrecy as to its ma
ture was maintained. One angle, it
was learned, necessitated a trip to
Lavalette, N. j., home of Henry Stevens,
brother of the rector's widow.
Knew They Were Watched.
Publication today of love notes writ
ten by Mrs. Mills to Hall disclosed that
the pair were conscious they were be-
ing spied upon. In one ardent note,
in which the choir singer describes the
Glove nest" she would maintain if she
were rich, she concluded: Darling, I
could rave for hours-but must stop
as there are peppers around"
In another she said: when I said
that would leave note, forgot that
it may not be wise. But may take a
chance, for cannot have you disap-
pointed, even though it isn't much"

MQuiring Reporter
ToDAY'S QUESTION::

Are you in favor of national law
granting pension to needy persons
of advanced age?
Folke Orgelstrand, Main street,
head usher at Orpheum theatre -
Yes. should be in favor of such a
law. There are many people living
today who are we'll advanced in age
but during their life they have had a
hard time of it and have not been able
to save enough for their old age. Thus
when they need the money most, they
haven't got it and as result theS
must suffer. They should be at least
sixty when they receive pension.
F. Ball, 673 Chicago street = No, 4
am not in favor of such a law. If
this were carried into effect there
would be thousands of people who
would make no attempt to save dur
ing their life but would sit quietly by
and wait for their pension. Thus no
one would have anything to work for
and they could just make enough
to live till their pension was started.
Again taxes would be raised higher by
the law and as they are they are high
enough.
F. Epstein, Main street, store clerk
Yes, l believe that such a law
would do a world of good. On the avr
erage, though, man should have
made enough, by the time that he is
sixty years old, to carry him through
his old age. If he hasn't he is a
failure. In this case he should be al
lotted a pension by the government.
However, this should be for the needy
persons only.
A. F. Timme, 657 Milwaukee avenue
- do not favor such proposition
as national law because it would be
too hard for the national government
to determine. Such thing should be
entirely local affair. Besides, if the
law were national, the chances for
abuse would be great. To conduct a
department to care for the business
of distributing the pension would be
very expensive thing and would re-
quire an organization Of tremendous
size The matter should be left to
state and local governments. Such
county employees as the pauper COM
missioner could take it on as side
line. AS a national institution, it
would not be satisfactory

Story of Love Affair.

New Brunswick, N. J.-Dr. Ed
ward Wheeler Hall was slain by
accident as he struggled to defend
Mrs. Eleanor Mills against the in
sane fury of a jealous woman and
her cOnfederates.
The couple whose bodies were
found near Phillips farm on Sept,
Is, were either lured separately
from their homes two nights previ-
Gus or were kidnapped as they made
their way to rendezvous and the
woman was murdered after the
rector was accidentally shot. This
occurred in vacant building not
far from where they were found
dead. This, after thorough in
vestigatiOn with trained staff of
operatives is my theory of the mys-

have been able to discover con-
corning the crime, deep probes into
the past lives and relationships of
the principals, sitting of the con-
Trajectory tales told by certain per-
sons intimate with the slain couple,
