Dissenting Member Calls
Skipwith and McKoin
Fine People.

Chicago. Jan. 1S.-By vote of sc
TO the city council was on record
today as opposed to retaining members
of the Ku Klux Khan on the city
payroll.
The vote was taken yesterday, when
the city council was asked to order the
suspension of William II. Green, a city
fireman, and an alleged member of the
klan.
Green recently had been questioned
by an aldermanic investigating COM
mittee regarding his alleged connections
with the organization. At that time, he
declared he had resigned from the khan.
Robert J. Mulchahy, alderman act
ing as chairman of the councils COM
mittee. yesterday declared during the
councils session that a. policeman had
threatened his life for his activities
against the secret order. He said he
would diyulge the facts later, refus-
ing to name the policeman.
John =. Garner, zone IF the two dis.
senting aldermen, referred to the alleged
khan activities in Mer Rouge, La.
"A friend of mine who just came
back from Louisiana tells me that he
met Skipwith and DIR. McKoin and
that they are a fine lot of people" Al
derman Garner said. ''The whole
trouble down there is politics"

STOCKS ARE STEADY
DESPITE BREAK IN
FOREIGN EXCHANGES
No Liquidation Evident as
Prices MoUe
UpWGd.
Ry STUART p. WEST.

Copyright 1898, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. 1S.-The stock mar
ket gave proof of the strength of its
position again today. With the for
eign exchanges all breaking. indicating
greater tension than at any time 80
far, brought about through the French
seizure of the Ruhr. there were no signs
whatever of any liquidation in the
share list. On the contrary the prin-
cipal movements Of the day were up
ward.
Traders who had sold short on the
idea that the crisis abroad would event
ually lead to a general unloading Of
stocks, were ready to admit that they
had judged wrongly. Short covering ap-
peared all through the market, but
along with this went quite a bit Of
fresh buying in special stocks.
The Street was quite confident Of the
story that the Durant interests were
seeking control of Packard Motors and
Packard stock was feature from the
start. Hudson Motors was bought in
the belief that with earnings running
at the rate of SO a share, an increase
in the dividend was likely later in the
year. Thinker Roller Bearing made a
new high, also on talk Of a dividend
increase. The stock is now paying SO.
but earnings are reported to be as high
as 50 share.
The Central Leather stocks were
strong in anticipation of the statement
for the final quarter of 1922, which, it
is thought, will show decisively change
for the better in the leather industry.
The big surplus Of leather on hand
has now been reduced to a comparative
minimum and the outlook is favorable
for higher prices for the product.

Gunter Thursday evening at s o'clock.
1t was announced Thursday morning.
At the meeting committees TO handle
various branches of the Fiesta work
will be appointed and the final arrange
ments made 10 close the drive for funds
Jack Raybould, who is at the head Of
the organization cauvassing the city
for money with which to hold the 'cele-
bration, said Thursday that they were
still far from the goal, with between
eight and ten thousand dollars to be
raised.
The work of raising the money is
slow. he said, due mainly TO lack of
sufficient workers. Though the people
of the city seem to be interested in the
continuing Of the Fiesta and are will
ing in most cases to donate toward it..
there are not enough workers to see
them. There are. still thousands of
cards that have never been taken out,
he said. and following the meeting
Thursday night a call will be made for
men and women of the city to offer
their services for Il few days.

DEPOSIT POLL TAX
Issue "Chinaman ReCeiots" to Busy
San AntOnians Who Do Not Qualify.

"Chinaman receipts will be furnished
several hundred Bexar county poll tax
payers, County Tax Collector John A.
Bitter indicated Thursday. A China
man receipt" the county collector ex-
planned, is where you take mans
money and give him a receipt but do
not give him what he pays for.
There are many busy San Antonians
who prefer TO send in check for their
poll taxes and call later TO qualify and
receive them. Two or three hundred
of these checks already have been re-
ceived, Collector Bitter said. So far,
however. very few have appeared to
qualify and receive the little white slip
which entities them to cast their bal
lot.
Unless those who have made de-
posits on their poll taxes appear and
qualify by January 81" Mr.. Bitter
said. II will be forced to issue them
'Chinaman receipts This receipt will
show that they paid their poll taxes,
but they can't vote on it. So l would
advise all who have made deposits TO
come to my office and qualify and get
their poll tax"

REPORTERS OFFERED
BARGAINS IN BOOZE
AT THREE-MILE LINE
Coast Guard Cutter Warns
Rum Ships Against
Blocking Traffic.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Reporters and
photographers of four New York MORN
ing newspapers put out in a specially
chartered tug yesterday and toured the
rim of the thrce-mile limit off the New
Jersey coast to see if the fleet of rum
ships described in recent Associated
Press reports was still there. 1t was.
In single line the ships of the fleet
rode from a point reckoned to be three
miles north Of Seabright n. j., to
another due east Of Sandy Hook and
from twelve TO fifteen mics TO sea.
The reporters disagreed as TO the num-
Der of the crift. but of the scores of
ships found at anchor, the decks of at
least fourteen were piled with whiskey
cases. The World reporter declared he
saw 100 vessels which he believed 10
be rum-runners.
John ID. Appleby, zone chief in charge
of the dry navy" operated by the pro-
hibition enforcement authorities. had
announced few hours before the news
papers published their front page stories
on the fleet that his observers at High
lands. n. j., (scene of last week $
prolific rum landings) reported there
were no rum runners in the vicinity.
He said he had word that eight or ten
vessels were on their way with rum
cargoes from the Bahamas, and that
his men were ready for them.
A coast guard cutter had been sent
out by the customs department yeSter-
day morning, to warn the rum ships
already present against further viola
tons of traffic laws by which, it had
been charged. they We're endangering the
safety of vessels seeking entrance TO
New York harbor.
All the reporters we're inclined TO twit
enforcement authorities, who charged
that the report of wholesale smuggling
of liquor into the United States by way
of the Jersey and Long Island shores,
first carried by the Associated Press,
were pipe dreams" and gross exag-
gerations."
The newspapermen declared the were
offered bargains in liquors Of all kinds.
They did not report sighting any dry
navy boats.
There were two-mastPd schOoners
from Nova Scotia, and Nassau, flying
the British flag, they reported, There
were two-masted schOoners from 81.
Pierre. Miquelon. flying no flag at all,
and there were three-masted schOoners
and barkentines from Canada and the
Bahamas. All were at anchor, riding
low.
