ROBED KLANSMAN
FALLS AS CROWD
FIRES ON PARADE
Citizens of Carnegie, Pa, Block
Hooded Paraders and Fire
on KluxerS
KLAN OFFERS REWARD
Klan and State of Pennsylvania
Offers Rewards for Capture of
Slayer

Pittsburgh, Aug. 25. A force of
deputy sheriffs was rushed to Car
negie, a suburb, late tonight when
a crowd of about 500 persons blocked
a sreet and stopped a parade of Ku
Klux Klansmen.
The parade was led by an auto
mobile, but the Klansmen on foot
were reported to extend back for
more than a mile.
After momentary pause, the pa
raiders broke through the crowd and
continued through the town singing
"Onward, Christian Soldiers"
A number of shots were fired and
one man, dressed in white robes, is
known to have been killed. He died
in a physicians office, shot through
the head.
Deputies Are Reinforced
Many persons were injured in the
fighting which was still in progress
more than an hour after the first
outbreak. The force of deputy sher-
ifs was reinforced by all available
uniformed Pittsburgh policemen and
the cries to lower the American flag
were given the right of way on city
streets as they sped in automobiles
to Carnegie, six miles away.
The streets of Carnegie are jam
med with people shouting and yell
ing. Every few moments the sharp
crack of a pistol sounds above the
heavily armed officers passed news
paper correspondents speeding to the
scene of battle.
Autos Block Bridge.
The Klansmen had been gathering
all afternoon and evening for what
is understood to have been a state
meeting on a hillside overlooking
Carnegie. Early in the evening,
their leaders were told, police said,
that a parade through Carnegie
would not be permitted.
About II P. M, however, the pa
rade was seen to appear over the hill
and start toward the town. To en-
ter it, the Klansmen had to cross the
Glendale bridge, which spanned a
small creek. A crowd gathered at
once at the bridge and automobiles
were run on it and stopped, effective
| ly blocking the structure. When the
automobile leading the parade reach
ed the bridge it stopped. The Klans-
men made no attempt to proceed
Immediately and paid no attention to
the cries to lower the American flag
which headed the parade. Neither
did they make any move to turn
back.
Bedlam Breaks Loose.
After the impasse had existed fol
perhaps a half hour, the leaders OF
the marchers seized an opportune
moment and made a wild dash for.
ward, the automobiles were rolled of
the bridge and the crowd stationed
at the one end swept backwards.

Cat Summons Policeman
to Aid in Kittens Rescue

London.-A cat, helped by a
policeman, succeeded n rescu-
ing her kitten that had fallen
down a well at Alton, in Hamp-
shire.
The distressed cat attracted
the attention of a policeman,
and the faint cries Of the drown
ing kitten explained the moth
er's agitated antics and cries.
Two efforts made to save the
kitten by lowering a bucket
failed. -
Then the constable lowered
the mother cat by q rope. Her
natural aversion to water van
ished in her desire to save her
kitten, which was raised ex-
hausted to the surface, firmly
but gently held In its mothers
teeth.

Military in Tulsa

Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 27.-The grip
of martial law, imposed on Tulsa
and a portion of Tulsa county by
Gov. Walton because of mob activi-
ties, relaxed somewhat today, but
there was no lessening of the inten-
sive inquiry being carried on by
state authorities into fogging cases
Presaging the eventual withdrawal
of the troops, twenty of the $50 ma.
tional guardsmen sent here departed
early today for their home station at
Okmulgee.
Indications also were given that
the regulations imposed on the city
by the military authorities might be
lightened, in case there are no un-
toward incidents. Last night, for the
first time since the occupation of the
city, no guard patrols were main,
tained on downtown streets to en-
force the order against traffic be-
tween the hours of 11:30 P. M. anc
A. M.
The military authorities took int
custody five citizens of Broken Ar
row.
The seizure of the men came aftel

TULSA INDIGNANT
OVER MARTIAL LAW
Governor Walton Sends Troops
After FlOgging is
~ Reported

Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 28.- Tulsa
awoke today under martial law and
very angry. Indignation at the proc
lamation of Governor ]. C. Walton
putting the city under military rule
Increased as Tulsa citizens looked
out of their windows as they arose
and saw the soldiers in olive drab
parading in the streets.
Following the issuance of the or
der. by the Governor as result of
the whipping of Nathan Hartman by
masked band,. troops from Okla
homa City and Okmulgee were rush
ed to the city and encamped during
the night.
Under the provisions of the mar
tial law order, all civilians must be
off the streets without special per-
mits by II o'clock, at night and must
not stir out again until o'clock IN
the morning.
Tusla's officials and citizens were
highly indignant when the first news
of the proclamation, in which the
Governor asserted that the law must
be obeyed and that Tulsa officials mao
fallen short of their duty and that
it was necessary to send IN troops to
restore order reached here.
Hartman after his fiogging ap-
pealed to Aldrich Blake, the Cover
nor's counselor. His injuries are sc
severe that it is doubtful, accord
ing to reports here, if he will com
pletely recover. His statement te
Blake was not divulged. Blake, II
turn, communicated with the Gov
ernor. who is in Sulphur for a vaca
tion.
Mr.. Blake that the courts and GU!
departments could still. do buslnes:
but that the police were out OF wori
