Administered Oath.
 McManus testified that during his visit to Topeka of two weeks he had administered the klansman oath to approximately 100 men" in To- peka. Questioned as to the identity of these men McManus said he did not recall any of the names. He said he had been d member of the klan for two years.
 Assistant Attorney General Rhodes read q portion of what was purport ed to be the Klansman's oath, and McManus admitted that it was part of il. The section read as follows:
 T swear that l will keep secret to myself information of klansmen which come to me in the sacred bond of klansmanship. the crimes of vio- 1ation of this oath, of treason to the United States of American and of rape and malicious murder alone eX cepted."
 McManus testified that the mem- bership fee is S10: that the members pay $6.50 for the klan uniform. His testimony was continued until to- morrow to permit Attorney Wood to take the stand. Wood denied that he ever had held office in the klsn other than attorney since last July or August.

A Proclamation
By The President of The United States Announcing
American Education Week November 1924

From its earliest beginnings, Amer
lea has been devoted to the cause of
education. This country was founded
on the ideal of ministering to the in
dividual. 1t was realized that this
must be done by the institutions Of
religion and government. In order
that there might be a properly educat-
ed clergy and well trained civil mag
istrates, one of the first thoughts of
the early settlers was to provide for
college of liberal culture, while for
the general diffusion of NCnowldge
primary schools were established
This course was taken as the neces.
sary requirement of enlightened soc.
iety.
Such a policy, once adopted, has
continued to grow in extent With the
adoption of the Federal Constitution
and the establishment Of free govern
ment in the States of the Union, ther'
was additional reason for broadening
the opportunity for education. Ou

country adopted the principle of self
government by q free people. Those
who had the duty and responsibility of
government, must necessarily have the
education with which to discharge the
obligations of citizenship The SOW
ereign had to be educated. The SOW
ereign had become the people. Schools
and universities were provided by the
various governments, and founded
and fostered by private charity, until
their buildings dotted the land.
The willingness of the people to bear
the burdens of maintaining these IN
stitutions, and the patriotic devotion
of an army of teachers, who, in many
cases, might have earned larger in
comes in other pursuits, have made i
possible to accomplish results will
which we may well be gratified. Blu
the task is not finished, it has onl,

ROAD PROPOSED FOR
BOZEMAN CEMETERY
MONTANA GETS SHARE
OF FOREST REVENUES

The civic movement directed for
some time past toward the financing
of a plan to lay out and hard sur
face a rain-proof road encircling the
inside of the grounds Of the Bozeman
cemetery, has at last come to a head,
the Bozeman cemetery board having
received estimates on the cost of the
work and having issued public call
on the various organizations and pub
lie spirited individuals of the city for
donations to bring the work to COM
pletion this fall when construction
cost will probably prove to be lower
than at any other time.
The estimated cost of the proposed
work is $1,S00, which contemplates the
construction of some kind of hard
surfaced road, half mile in length, and
extending south from the entrance
gate on Buttonwood avenue; west, on
Fairview road, near the park; north
on Central avenue to Park road, and
east to the entrance gate.
The Bozeman Cemetery board has
started the list with a donation OF
$100. Organization secretaries and
individuals are urged to send their
donations to either Leslie E. Gage
chairman of the board, or to Paul J
Davies, agent, as the members are
unable to conduct personal solicita
! tion

Jobs Needed
For Students

Unless work can be found for a
number of students of the Montana
State college, it is more than likely
that at least half a dozen of these
worthy and capable young men will
be unable to keep up their studies at
the institution, according to an appeal
issued today by Mr.. Abbey, member
of the college faculty. Even harvest
work at threshing, potato digging and
loading will be acceptable to some of
the young men, all of them, however,
being more than willing to work in
whatever occupation they may be
placed.
Mr.. Abbey's appeal follows:
1--WE are making one more appeal to
the citizens of Bozeman to assist six
worthy young men who will be COM
/ PEELED to leave college unless some
sort Of work is provided at once. These
young men are freshmen, made COM
mendable records in athletics in their
high schools and are now taking part
in athletics at the college. Coach
Romney says they are among his best
men and that they must be kept in
college. These young men are willing
to do any kind of work. To coach q
football team is no small job in itself,
but to add to this the worry Of finding
work for the men adds too great a
: burden to the Montana coach. Are
: there not persons who need a young
, man to take care Of a furnace? A mar
= to do odd pobs for his room rent2 The
5 assistance given may be small, but i
r will enable these young men to remai1
in college.
Y eve also have numbers Of men WIN

SERVICES Held
FOR DIR. ELICIT
LARGE ATTENDANCE SHOWS
ESTEEM IN WHICH HE
WAS HELD BY ALL

The high esteem in which the late
DR.. James E. Elliott, who died last
Wednesday morning from cancer while
on a visit, with his family, in Portland,
Ore, was held by the people of this
community was seen in exceptionally
large attendance of mourners at the
funeral services held Sunday after
noon at the Presbyterian church, and
by the many and beautiful floral tri-
butes.
The remains have not as yet been
inferred, Mrs Elliott not having
decided as to the place of burial which
will be in charge of the West Under
taking parlors.
Organizations Represented
Prominent among the mourners
were delegates from the various or
ganizations with which DR.. Elliott
has been for many years closely as
sociated, including the Odd Fellows,
Woodmen of the World, Fraternal
Order of Eagles, the Brotherhood of
American Yeoman, the Royal High
landers, the Kiwanis club and the Gal
latin County Medical association.
Services were conducted by the
Rev. H. G. Klemme, assisted by the
Rev. A. L. Chapman. The music in
cluded "The Rosary" played by Mrs
Z. 0. Holm, vocal solo by Ed. Bun
ney and a vocal duet by Mrs. w. n
Purdy and Ed. Bunney. Mr.. Klemme
paid high tribute to the character Of
DR.. Elliott in his funeral grafton.

Those Who Survive
Mrs. Anna B. Elliott, mother of Dr.

Portland when they learned of tn
seriousness of DIR. Elliott's condition
and accompanied Mrs. Elliott and he

Mrs. Dietz back to Bozeman with tn
remains. Mr.. and Mrs. George A

unless internal injuries become mani
fest, or brain complications develop,
he has a fair chance for ultimate re-
covery. He said the fast that Mr..
Miller was showing slight gains day
by day could be considered as en-
couraging.
Some Doubt as to Time
Until Mr.. Miller RECEIVERS sufficient
ly to give a lucid account of the
circumstances of the terrible accident,
the exact time that it occurred and
the cause, or causes, that led up to it
must be purely speculative.
A Northern Pacific trainman who
passed the spot while taking his train
into Livingston from the west re-
ported in that city that he had seen
the burning lights of an overturned
automobile in the gully between the
highway and the railroad tracks early
Thursday night, while friends of the
injured man are reported to nave
stated they saw him in Livingston as
late as Saturday night, just two days
after the accident was reported by
: the trainman to have occurred.
Used Pants for Muffler
If Mr.. Miller went over the bank
Thursday night he must have wander
ed about in the ravine for more than
go hours until the n. P. crew found
, him about 800 feet from the wrecked
car and brought him to Bozeman. At
that time he was unconscious and
was attired only in his underwear. The
legs of his trousers were wrapped
about his neck as if he had tried to
keep warm. His shoes, hat, coat and
vest and other articles of clothing
were found strewn about on the
! ground between the car and the spot
wheh the man was found by the
train crew.
Walter Lehrkind, who viewed tn,
scene of the accident, said he discov
cred several places where the injured
!, man had evidntly tried to make a be-
and he saw where he had unsuccess
:, fully attempted to light a fire, tn
!: SLIGHTLY charred pieces Of wood having
failed to ignite.
The Foul Play Theory
The fact that Mr.. Miller was know
to always have considerable sum o
n. money in his possession, while bu
d S1.25 in loose change, a pocket knit
lie and some keys were found, has led hi
friends to believe that he was he'll

MAN INJURED IN AUTO WRECK
IS NOW EXPECTED TO RECOVER
MUCH SPECULATION SURROUNDS THE DETAILS OF ONE
OF THE WORST AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS IN
ROCKY MOUNTAIN CANYON DURING YEAR

Carl Miller, Bozeman business man
and owner of Miller's Place, at the
corner of Main and Bozeman streets,
is lying at his home, SOB East Bah
cock, in a semi-conscious condition but
with a fair chance for ultimate re
covery, suffering from a brain con
cussion and internal injuries sustained
when the car he was driving back to
Bozeman from Livingston left the
road at one of the sharp turns in the
Rocky canyon about a quarter of a
mile east of Watercress spring and
precipitated driver and vehicle, head
on, over the bank to a dry creek
bottom below, a distance Of about
100 feet.
A Miraculous Escape
The path of the car could be plain
ly seen from the tread of the tires on
the soft dirt and the appearance OF
the underbrush and trees, the latter
of which were leveled to the ground
One large tree was torn off close tC
the top. The first half of the fall wa:
at an angle of about As degrees
while the latter part was precipitous
The fact that Mr.. Miller was not in
stantly killed when the care reached
the bottom, and was practically de
molished, is considered miraculous.
DR.. Roy E. Seitz, the ATTENDING
physician, feels encouraged over tn
condition of the injured man and sal
this afternoon, that the lung conges
ton is clearing up nicely, and tha
