IS STRONG MAN AT
THE NAVAL ACADEMY

More than one Naval Academy
coach took notice last week when it
became known that the strongest mid
shipman in the academy is a mem
Dor of the new Fourth class and had
not become a candidate for any
team.
The youth is Louis l.. Vodila, OF
McKeesport, Pa. a former Marine,
appointed to the Academy from that
service, and the official tests show
that he has gone ahead of Wendell S.
Taylor, football end and former strong
man at the Academy, by 16O points
Also. his possibilities along the ath-
letic line are great. Vodila weighs
1S1 pounds and is an inch above six
feet in height
The secret of the failure to notice
Vodila was that he entered the acad-
envy very late. September 29 being
the date Rowing. baseball and 9th
er hot weather athletics were over.
and the football material in the new
class has been culled out Vodila's
until a close examination is made
but his great strength makes him a
football possibility next year and in
dicates his value along other lines
He has plenty of height for an
oarsmen. and Coach Glendsn tegan
hunt for him at once. Also Coach
Schultz, of the wrestlers. was anx-
ious TO see what sort of grappler
he viii make. and it is likely that

sports.
The figures obtained by the strong
men of each class are: First, Tay-
lor football endl. 1855; Second. Car
ney (footfall guard ana captain for
1929. 6S23; Third. Clyde football

ROUGE TRAGEDY
DR.. ]. w. Hawkins, Speaking To
Audience Yesterday, Scores
Critics Of Organization-Cen-
sures Governor For Declining
Use Of Armory.
KHAN DISSEMINATED
AGAINST, HE CLAIMS

An audience of about 500 persons,
many of them women. gathered yes
terday afternoon in the Circle Play
house for the open meeting conducted
under the auspices of knights OF the
ku klux Klan." and heard the prin-
ciples of the order discussed.
The speaker of the occasion was
DR.. j. w. Hawkins. a district organ
izer OF the Klan from national head
quarters at Atlanta. Ga. He spoke
Tor nearly two hours. during the
course of which he took occs aston to
emphatically deny that the Klan had
my connection whatever with the
outrages perpetrated at Mer Rouge,
La. now being investigated. and also
scored Governor Ritchie for his ac-
ton. which was taken upon the rec
ommendation OF Adjutant- General
Reckord. in refusing to allow the
Klan the use of the State armory at
Westminster for public meeting re-
Gently. claiming that only a week
prior thereto, the armory at Elkton
had feen thrown open TO the Knights
Of Columbus. another secret organi-
zation.
Says Newspapers Lie
Touching upon the Louisiana
crimes, Dir. Hawkins said the news
papers have blamed the Klan for the
outrages. or that they were commit
ted with the backing OF the Klan.
THAT is lie," he shouted. "and you
are going to find it proved q lie by
the investigation now in progress. II
1t were to the contrary. why have
they not arrested Klansmen? why
have they not arrested me? They
know where | can be found in Bal
timore, your Governor knows?" NO."
Or. Hawkins repeated, "the Klan was
not involved in the Louisiana out
RACES"
The speaker then claimed that the
Klan organization has no place for
man who violates the law. IL Is
fact, he said, there has been no
lynching outrages or other violations
in any town where the Klan is or
ganized. The Klan. he said. Is a body
formed to uphold laws. rather than
break them. The buyer of bootleg"
whiskey, he declared, is equally as
guilty as the seller
Growth OF klan Told
There never has been an organiza-
tion lied about SO much spied upon
so much. and attacked with such Bit
terness by the newspapers" as has
the Ku Klux Klan. declared DR.. Haw-
kins. and he followed this UP by q
bittcr denunciation of the methods
employed by two New York news
papers In their efforts to discredit
the Klan. In this connection, he as
serted that the Klan is now passing
through. just what confronted the Ma
sonic order 100 years ago. Every
thing that is wrong is being charged
against the Khan, the speaker declar-
ed. and then he stated that the or
ganization is here to stay. that it has
a million members now. and will have
million more before the end of the
present year
