Dreifus Wins For

Holly Contested Game
With Mohawks Decid-
ed After Whistle

"Little key" Dreifus, the Nlr-
ginia Orioles trimmed the Mo

to "a.
With ten seconds to go before
the final whistle the score stood
24-an. 1t looked like the extra
five-minutes would be inevitable
But Just at that time one Of the
Mohawk boys, in his over anXi-
ety fouled one of the Orioles and
talked back to the referee thus
making the foul double. Stanley
Dreifus, star forward for the To-
Gals, took the ball and tossed both
the free points without touching
the rim, making his free tossing
for the game eight out OF pos
sible ten. He also LED in goats
from the floor.
Although out-weighed to a GER
tain extent the Orioles put up e
fair game from the start. The
Mohawks got the jump in the
first and maintained q close LEAD
until the end of the third period
AT the end of the first period they

 Confesing their participation in the flogging of Ben Wagner, farmer, living near Broken Arrow, the Klans- men pleaded guilty last night to charges of riot and threw themselves on the mercy of the court
 The minimum sentence, two years mprisonment-was pronounced by District Judge W. B. Willims after pleas had been made by Assistant At torney General King and Ed Cross land, defense counsel.
 Eight other men, five or whom have pleaded not guilty, are charged with implication in the Wagner flogging as the result of the confessions.
 The presence of troops in Tulsa county and the display of the states determination bring to justice to those who are responsible for mob operations, led to the clearing up of the attack on Wagner. Since the night of october last year when he was taken from his home and severely beaten by band of men wearing the regalia of the Ku KluX Klan. Wag- ner's lips had been sealed with fear, although he recognized several of his abductors,

 Confession in Court

ATLANTA, Ga, August 24.-In the face of many reported floggings in southern states and the arrest of some of its own members as partici- pants, the Ku Klux Klan Is fighting to uphold its reputation as an organt- zatton standing for law and order, according to leaders at the Klan's national headquarters here.
 Word was brought Friday of the confessions in Tulsa of three self alleged Klansmen that they had par tlcipated in the flogging of a farmer near Broken Arrow, Okla, and of their subsequent sentence to two years in prison.
 We are always glad to learn of the capture and imprisonment of floggers," one high official at the imperial palace of the order declared,
 We would not turn a hand, nor spend a penny to defend a Klansman guilty of crime.
