FACES MURDER CHARGE
XXX
Man Who Participated in Carnegie
Riot Charged With Firing
.,".& Fatal Shot,
-K.K-K-

Pittsburgh. - Patrick McDermott,
the Roman Catholic undertaken who
participated in an attack on the Ku
Klux Khan while that organization was
parading the streets of Carnegie the
night of August Is, has again been
arrested upon a charge of murder in
connection with the killing of Thomas
R. Abbott, Klansman, who fell vic
tim to the murderous mob.
McDermott was released after an
investigation by coroner's jury i'm
mediately following the events which
led up to the murder. The action of
the officials in the matter was the
subject of much condemnation by the
law-abiding citizens of the common
wealth at the time. Following a hear
ing last Friday before Justice of the
Peace, w. H. Presses, of Carnegie,
McDermott was arrested and held
without bail on murder charge. i
Two witnesses at the hearing iden-
titled McDermott as the man who
fired the shot that killed Abbott. The
prosecution against McDermott was
instituted by the widow of the dead
Klansman.

DISMISSED

The case against the $50 Klans-
people, including men, women and
children, who We're arrested at Ports
mouth, Ohio, on Sunday, October %,
while on their way to dedicate cor
nerstone for new church, has finally
come to a conclusion.
As we frequently and persistently
predicted should be the case, the
charges against the Klan members
were-DISMISSED.
The city solicitor who prosecuted
the cases against the Khan in police
court, made motion to sustain the
motion to quash" the affidavits filed
against the Khan organizer and divers
other persons on October. %, when
Police Chief Distel placed the organ
izer and 244 Klansmen and women
under arrest.
The municipal judge then an
nounced that the motion was sus-
tanned. 49,. -~
The charge was that they had vio-
lated city ordinance which pertains
to the unlawful congregation of per-
sons in public places.
The motion to quash the affidavit
was filed by attorneys for the de-
tense. They set forth in their mo-
ton five separate reasons why the
affidavit against the organizer and
divers other persons should be dis
missed. The motion was sustained
on the strength of the fourth reason,
which was as follows: "Said affidavit
fails to set forth the names of the
persons who are alleged to have been
annoyed by the congregation Of de-
PENDANT and Others"
The court room was packed by men
and women interested in the outcome
of the case, which has been hanging
fire for several weeks.
The action of the court will prob
ably settle the case; as the injustice
of the arrests have been apparent to
everyone since they were made.

ENGLAND GETS FIRST
MODERN TASTE OF
THE ku KLUx KHAN

acknowledgement is having its
first modern taste of the Ku Klux
Klanism in the activities of the
"Most Noble Order of Crusaders"
This secret society, whose objects
were consecrated at a special West
minister Abbey service last week, was
founded two years ago. 1t now num-
bers over 5000 members, mostly
drawn from exclusive social circles.
It's avowed aim is to promote me-
diaeval chivalry, and members on rit-
ualistic occasions wear gowns and
hoods. The Duke of York attended
the Abbey service.
Tuesday it became known that the
order is waging a war on gambling
dens. The Grand Scribe of the Cru
saders states that members have dis
covered the existence of country man!
sions where the "war-rich" encourage
heavy gambling among their guests,
especially the scions of noble fami-
lies.
eve have approached these hosts
and without speaking to them in any
Fascist or Ku Klux spirit, advised
them to drop these parties" said the
Grand Scribe. eve appealed to the
pest side of their natures and they
yielded"
Gen. Sir Edward Bethune, who is
the grand keeper Of records, con-
firms the existence of this campaign,
but says:
eve cannot reveal the plan or give
names because it would defeat our
purpose.

kLAN WANTS CLEANUP
XXX
Revolving Conditions Shown in Chi
scagO Night Life

Vice conditions in Chicago have
been described in 'Dawn" from time
to time and the Ku Klux Khan in this
city is using it's greatest influence
to clean up the city cesspools of in
EQUITY.
That the picture painted by Klans-
men has not been overdrawn and that
still more drastic effort must be
made to eradicate commercialized
vice and other evils is evidence by
the investigation and report of social
service experts.
Chicago's night life presented the
most revolving spectacle of any place
in the world. In an around-the-
world investigation Of vice conditions
nothing was found in any other place
that compared with the scenes in the
Entertainers Cafe, 209 East Thirty
fifth street. .---
That is the opinion of Mrs. Nina
Van Wrinkle, chief of Washington's
force of policewoment, expressed lin a
review of her world vice investiga-
ton.
"White girls were dancing with
black men and white men were dane
ing with black girls" Mrs. Van
Wrinkle declared in describing her
visit to the Entertainers. "They dane
ed in a way comparable>to the bac-
chanalian revels that preceded the
fall of Rome. The dancers seemed to
Pbe doing little more than rubbing
their bodies against each other to the
senuous strains of the wierdest jazz
music I ever heard. 1t was the most
disgusting sight I ever saw in my
travels"
.- Lands Closed It
The Entertainers cafe was closed
by former Judge Lands when he was
on the federal bench. Two weeks later
it was re-opened ON a writ of super,
sedas. 1t is still open. -,-
81 think Chicago has a vice con-
dition that is more difficult to handle
than that in most American cities"
Mrs. Van Wrinkle continued. "The city
is doing wonderful things in the way
of supressing vice. Its commercial po-
sition as the depot between the east,
west, north and south must keep it
filled with footloose element that
is difficult to control"

kLANSMEN MARCH
WITHOUT, MASKS

Dade City, Fla.-More than 200
members of the Ku Klux Klan Of
Florida took part last week in the
first daylight parade ever held in that
state, the Klansmen marching I'M
masked. At the conclusion of the
parade the Klansmen circled around
the courthouse and were addressed
by two Khan speakers.
A month ago the Klansmen were
refused the use Of the courthouse or
the public school auditorium for an
open meeting, but the demands of
the people to hear the Khan speakers
were so great the authorities were
forced to permit the speaking and the
parade.

Boulder, Colo.-What is believed to

by large numbers Of students of in
vitations from the Colorado Aulik of

Reports that regalia emblazoned
with the symbols Of the Ku Klux
Khan had been found in the room of
student were not confirmed by COL
lege authorities, but the student to
whom the regalia is said to have be-
longed was quoted as declaring the
Boulder chapter is but one of link
of Khan chapters in several colleges
of the state, including School Of
Mines, Colorado Aggies, Denver Uni
versity and Colorado college. -
A copy Of the Invitation, said to
have been sent to scores-of students

"TOLL OF JUSTICE"
TO Be SHOWN SOON
Motion Picture Near Completion and
Will Be Staged in Column
bus Shortly

Columbus, Ohio. - Announcement
has been made here that the film pro-
duction, "The Toll of Justice" spon-
sored by the Ohio Ku Klux Klan, and
designed to acquaint the uniformed
public with the true principles of the
organization, has virtually been COM
pleted and will have its premiere pre-
sentation in Columbus within the next
few weeks, it is understood.
The movie is said to be one of the
most spectacular screen dramas ever
produced and hundreds of person took
part in the big scenes. It is designed
to counterfeit the poisonou propa-
ganda circular by alien enemies who
have declared their determination to
wipe out the Klan. --
Since the original announcement
that the film was to be made the un-
dertaking has been ridiculed by sup
posedly neutral press and everything
possible done to prevent it's compile
ton.
A recent dispatch, published broad
cast under New Yor date line, de-
clared that the producers have en-
countered difficulties which spell fall
ure for the proposition" Even then
the final scenes were being filmed
and the work of titling and assem-
bling was we'll under way. Reports
also were circulated to the effect
that the director had withdrawn from
his task and was to sail for Europe
"to take up travelogue work in
Egypt" Corey G. Cook wrote the
scenario and directed the making of
the picture and, Notwithstanding the
rumors to the contrary, he did not
desert his post until the production
was completed. 49,

MARTIN COUNTY WINS BEAUTI.

Continued from Page u

the hem of our Flag. Its peerage
stands unrivaled in the history of
man from it's first inception until
now, and by theGrace of God and the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan will
stand until the sun shall have kissed
the Eastern horizon for the last time.
"The Flag was inspired by God
himself, Providence has protected it
from stint or shame or defeat. Our
Flag is living thing, not a fabric
of silk or bunting, woven by human
hands. 1t pulsates with the throb-
bling ardors of humanity, it CLOVIS
with the fervor of immortal hopes
and it leaps out in ecstacies of love
and ideals. It is melody, and pours
forth the hymn of the upward looking
man. 1t is hallowed by the graves
where sleep those who gave their
lives to make it an emblem for purity
and righteousness. With ransomed
eyes we look upon its folds and in
holy devotion we bow to this altar
that is fragrant with sacrifices
brought that we might be free.
Through it's power of transformation
it has converted the world into a
place clean enough to be the dwelling
place Of God. For such a Flag we
will gladly die and nobly live.
MAY these holy emblems, the
Cross and the Flag, live in our hearts
daily and inspire US and lead US to
acts of nobleness and goodness.
eve do not want the dollar mark
on Old Glory. When Old Glory goes
down, you go down; when it dies, you

"In closing, 1 hope to have given
you and myself keener vision and
nobler aspirations together with the
spirit of determination to bring to
completion those principles and ele-
ments embodied in this grandest of
all divinely ordained Order, the In
visible Empire, Knights of the Ku

Coolidge on immigration
President Coolidge made a bid for
Khan support in his first presidential
message to Congress which he read
| to the joint session of the Senate and
House on Thursday. His fine Amer
ticanism came out in his proposed
immigration restriction paragraph as
follows: ... .. ,,,-g.s .-.... .r..-... d..
american institutions rest solely
on good citizenship. They were Gre
ated by people who had a back
ground of self-government. New ar
rivals should be limited to our ca
pacity to absorb them into the ranks
of good citizenship. America must
be kept American. For this pur-
pose, it is necessary to continue a
policy of restricted immigration. 1t
would be well to make such immi-
grafton of selective nature with
some inspection at the source, and
based either on prior census or
upon the record of naturalization.
Either method would insure the ad-
mission of those with the largest ca
pacity and best intention of becom-
ing citizens. I, am convinced that
our present economic and social con-
ditions warrant limitation Of those
to be admitted.
"We shall find additional safety in
a law requiring the immediate reg
istration Of all aliens. Those who do
not want to be partakers Of the
American spirit ought not to settle
in America"

member of the Progressive bloc Of
the Senate, which is seeking to GUST
Senator Cummins of Iowa from the
Craftsmanship and is demanding a
change in the Esch- Cummins trans
portation act.
First Ballot for Cummins
The first ballot on this fight re-
suited in Al for Cummins, 80 for
Smith, Democrat, and 7 for LaFol-
lette;, who was supported by the Re-
publican Progressives. The ,LaFol-
lette supporters consisted of Senators
Magnus Johnson and Shipstead of
Minnesota; Frazier and Ladd of
North Dakota; Norris and Howell of
Nebraska, and Brookhart of Iowa.
Senator Cummins fell three votes
short of election and two more bal
lots were taken. The second ballot
had only slight change from the
first and the third ballot was exactly
like the first.
No election resulted on this i'm
portant Craftsmanship and the Senate
went into executive session and the
fight will be resumed Tuesday. All
the other Senate committee assign
ments were unanimously, agreed to
as presented by the Republican and
Democratic committees on commit
tees.
Senator LaFollettee is the ranking
member on the old interstate COM
merce committee and Senator Cum
minis, the old chairman, is seeking
to hold on to that assignment as we'll
as retain his place as president pro
tempore of the Senate.
It is not believed that Progressives
will yield in this fight in the Senate
as easily as the Progressives in the
House did last week, the latter crowd
now realizing that they made a mis-
take. That mistake was costly to
them and Representative Nelson of
Wisconsin, Republican insurgent lead
er, is already threatening another
fight on the floor of the House
against what he terms stacking of
House committees" Failure of in
surgents in the House to obtain more
places on the important committees
led to a forecast of another revolt
against majority organization leaders.
Representative Nelson expressed
surprise and indignation over the
treatment which, he said, had been
accorded his group in the makeup of
the Republican committee states and
said the fight would be taken to the
House when the selections made by
the Republicans were presented for
ratification the latter part of this
week. The House adjourned today
until Thursday noon on account of
the committee assignments not being
ready. T.. -....-.....--~. -s
