tainment. At 9 o'clock P. M. a pub
lie initiation of Ku Klux Khan candi-

Shortly after the reports were cir
culated over the country by Catholic
correspondents at the Capital and the
two big news services, The Fellow

ton. In reply to letter from Judge
Moore, asking a denial or confir-
nation of the stories, John II. Cowles,
Grand Commander of the Supreme

a letter to Judge Moore, The Asso-

Mr.. Cowles emphatically stated that
the reports were in error and that
the Supreme Council had nothing to
do with the circulation of the report.
He stated that there had been no dis
cussion of Judge Moore's connection
with the K1an and also stated that
the Khan had not been discussed in
any manner, mot even one remark"
When confronted with this evil
dence, the Roman press Of Washing
