KLANSMEN DONATE
 S200 TO NEGROES
Huntington, |. Ly Colore' Church Gets Contribution

Huntington, L. l., Nov. 10.-Th Ku Klux Klan was presented in new light at the annual meeting 0 negro Methodists Of New York her yesterday. The meeting was held in the local white Methodist Episcopa church, with pastors of both race present.
 At the close of the meeting thert entered the church a procession O. sixteen men, neither robed nol masked, led by a man bearing ar American flag and another holding the Klan standard. When the pro. cession reached the pulpit, a man who introduced himself as Joh! Hamilton, spoke.
 The Klan was not against negroes as popularly supposed, said Mi, Hamilton. It was only against the . mixing of white and black blood. II stood for racial purity, but not for racial oppression. In proof Of that, his hearers might note that lynch ings had decreased 50 per cent in those parts of the South where the order was thoroughly organized. A hostile press had misrepresented the attitude of the Klan.
 Half a dozen negro preachers were on their feet at once, asking the speaker questions. Then white pas tor presented to the pastor of Beth el Methodist Episcopal church, the local negro congregation, two sl00 gold pieces as the Klan's contribu- ton to the building fund.
 A negro preacher rose to say that the information imparted by the Klan speaker was worth five times as much to his negro auditors as the gift of gold.
