 class because of the subject which Miss Cora Marsland, their teacher had selected for debate. When the sub ject became known as Whether the
 Government Should Suppress the ku klux Klan," several of the pupils re- fused to act on the debating teams. They stated that they did not wish tp debate on any subject which in- volved any question of racial or re- ligious arguments.
 It became known yesterday that the
 matter has been hanging fire for sev- eral weeks as the result of instruc- tions handed out by Miss Maud John son, another teacher, to the pupils to read an article in the Literary Digest entitled Tn Defense of the Ku klux klan." A large number of the stu dents banded together and refused to take up the matter and it has become known that a great deal of dissension class over the subjects as selected by the teachers.

Laramie Plans To
Bond Drink Places
laramie Republican,

Instead OF requiring proprietors
Of soft drink places to pay $50 for
an annual license. the city council
proposes to have each provide a ST.
900 bond. No ordinance to that eff
fect has been drawn as yet. but the
matter was discussed at some length
toward the close of the meeting last
night OF the city council. and met
with general approval. The soft
drink dealers. too. are said to be in
favor Of the proposed innovation.
1t has generally been felt that this
special tax Of $50 on the dealers in
oft drinks. a tax paid by no other
class OF merchants In the city. was
n bit unfair. and now, another rea-
son is advanced for changing It. Sub
%stitution Of the bonding system
would make prohibition violations
less likely. 1t Is thought. 1t is point
ed out that several bonds would have
been forfeited at the last session Of
district court OF the bonding system
had been In force at that tife. and
with such a system in force soft
drink dealers. 1t is believed. would
hesitate to jeopardize their bonds by
dry law violation.

'CLOE CALLS MEETING
 ITO COMBAT ATTACKS
European Societies To Be Asked To Co-Operate For Early Closing


 Advocating o'clock closing for stores in obscure neighborhoods and the suburbs, Commissioner w. B. Cloe of the department of public safety stated Tuesday morning he was going to call the presiding officials of the Italian, Greek and other Balkanesque societies in Birmingham to discuss the subject with him in his office at an early date.
 With the drastically limited police force of Birmingham, the commits sfoner said, the unusually great area that force must cover the officers are doing well to arrest one evil doer in ten, and that is about the extent of the results obtained now, MT. Cloe said.
 It Is the commissioner idea that the former Europeans in the shop ping business in Birmingham, unfa- miliar with customs here, are in- clined to allow too many liberties on the part of their customers, parttcu- larly negroes, and this laxness in re- way for the dozen and one odd ax murders that have appalled, the city in the past year or two.
 These foreigners, MT. Cloe saidi permit their customers to go about in any part of their stores, and, late at night when those criminally in- clined come in, the victims are help less to protect themselves.
 "As I see it." the commissioner went on, there are but two reme- dies: sufficient number of police measures on the part of the store- keepers in more businesslike han- ding of customers and early clos- ing"
