OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATS
WILL FIGHT AL SMITH
Governor Trapp TrOuneed Mt
State Convention When Klan
Starts Action

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA, May 10.
Oklahoma Democrats in their state
convention here last week by an over
whelming vote decided to send a del
egation to New York with an endorse
ment of McAdoo, and composed of a
personnel which will fight AL Smith
to the finish.
Seventeen of the q delegates, by
a poll taken by the correspondent Of
The Fiery Cross, will vote like Ameri-
cans should vote, with no "ifs" nor
lands" nor why's" nor "wherefores."
"One hundred per cent American"
delegates at the state convention
overthrow the dope bucket prepared
by Governor M. E. Trapp and his
henchmen, in an attempt to control
the Oklahoma delegation so that he
could take it wrapped up in a pack
age to New York and "swap horses"
with Tammany.
The governor, who sent out an ap-
peal before the convention, asking
his friends to "help beat those d
ku Kluxers," got severe spanking
at the hands of his party, and barely
escaped being left out in the cold in
the selection of national delegates,
while Ed. II. Semans, his bitterest po-
litical enemy, was named chairman
of the delegation.

Congressman Issues
Statement About
immigration

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May IT,
Representative John L. Cable, of Ohio,
member of the House immigration
committee, has given out the follow
ing statement on the conference re-
port on the immigration bill.
''The immigration question re-
quires an American answer, namely,
no alien has a right to enter the
United States, nor can foreign gov
ernment indicate or select its ma
tionals who may come. The trainers
of our constitution intended to place
exclusively in congress the power of
passing laws admitting or debarring
immigrants. The proposition that
congress shall request the president
to negotiate with the the Japanese
government in relation to the abro-
CATION of the 'gentleman's agreement
is contrary to the principles and ide-
ais of this nation.
immigration is thoroughly a do
mestic problem. 1t should be consid-
cred in the open without secret nego-
tiations or diplomatic communica-
tions, 1t is not a proper subject for
treaty regulations, because treaty
is contract and certain rights must
be surrendered for the benefits ex-
pected to be obtained. The United
States has nothing to concede In pass
ing an immigration measure"

Anti-Klan Police Chief
Quits Springfield, O.,
Department

SPRINGFIELD, O., May 49,
Police Chief r. E. O'Brien, whose
position was abolished under an
emergency ordinance, which be-
came effective May z, rendered his
resignation, and at a special meet
ing of police pension trustees he
was retired on a pension.
Sergt. Thomas Norton also re-
signed and was placed on a pen
sion. O'Brien will receive $1,000
a year and Norton $3.50.
The emergency ordinance, passed
by the city commission, reorgan-
lied the city police department.
These two men played promi-
nent parts in the arrest of Klans-
men in the city during 1923. At
one time a party of Klansmen re-
turning from a funeral were ar
rested and thrown into Jail to-
gether with the American flag and
Bible which they were carrying
as they were returning quietly to
their homes after leaving the cem-
etery.

Burning of Fiery
Gross Drives Out
Denizens of Vice

CENTRALIA, w. VA, May 19.-
This usually wild and woody little
town in the forest fastness of West
Virginia, where bootleggers, gamblers
and bad men reigned supreme, has
suddenly assumed an air of sedate-
ness due to the presence of the Ku
klux Klan.
Six months ago liquor was sold
openly, and gambling dives were COM
mon. Today it is difficult task to
find bootlegger here, and gamblers
are as scarce as the proverbial hens
teeth.
This was all brought about by the
burning of few crosses which pro-
claimed to the people of Centralia
that the Ku Klux klan is here to
stay and that vice must 60. There
have never been any Klan demon
strations here other than the public
appearance of robed men on a few
occasions Of charity.

Mr.. Hunter told of his friendship
for Senator Mayfield, that he had con-
tributed money for the campaign but
that it was done without Senator
Mayfield's knowledge or consent. He
said he had never paid any money di-
rect to Mayfield, that he had talked
with j. L. Hunter about the Mayfield
candidacy for the senate and that he
had agreed to assist with the financ-
ing of the campaign through Hunter.
He said there never had been a COM
mittee named but that there was
manager and an assistant manager of
the campaign.
Tom Hunter said that he had Civ
en- all told $3.50, but that $3.50 of the
amount was contributed by other
parties. He himself gave $500 and
saw to it later on that the other $3.50
was paid. Answering the committee
Hunter said he never told Mayfield
what he had done in the way of help
ing financially.
Campaigns Not Mentioned
Mr.. Hunter said that in November
1921 he had attended a hearing be-
fore the Texas Railroad commission
at Austin trying to get an oil per-
nit to drill one well on a narrow
strip of land. At that time nothing
was said about campaign contribu-
tions. He also related how Earle B.
Mayfield, now Senator Mayfeld, had
walked out Of the hearing room and
had put his arms around T. p. Boone
and himself and asked Hunter if
Boone was in line for his candidacy
Mr.. Hunter testified that there was
not the least connection between his
getting the oil permit and the sub
ject of campaign contributions, that
the subject was not even mentioned
He said that he went to Austin to
get permit to drill three wells on
that strip Of ground and got only one
well, just one-third of what he went
after. He related how he went home
from Austin to Wichita Falls, then
later to Sherman. Texas. to see ALI

into the corridor for an examination
by physicians. They pronounced the
wounds superficial, and those In

before his death, was contracted due
to ill-treatment in the Jail. The
two sisters of Klansman Poorbaugh
made an affidavit to this effect, in
which they stated their brother laid
the blame for his condition directly

planning that he was not provided
with sufficient bed clothing and was
forced to walk from his cell to the
ambulance when he was removed.

they learned of his death, left for

Charges Of Murder, Carrying
Concealed Weapons, and
Riot Against Evans
(By s. THOMAS ZENER, Jr.)

(By ,. THOMAS ZENER, Jr)
pITTSBURGH, PA, May 10.-The
mercury in the mythical barom-
eter of public feeling has climbed to
a high stage in Cambria county, Penn
sylvania, as the result of the unwar-
ranted attack upon marching Klans-
men at Lilly, Pennsylvania, Saturday
night, April 5, and was given added
impetus at Ebensburg late Friday,
when Judge John E. Evans passed
the buck" to Warden Knee of the
county Jail, on the plea of Klan coun-
sci for the release of one of the
jailed men being held, to attend his
fathers funeral.
Godfred Greybeck, aged SO, father
of one of the jailed klansmen, died
last Wednesday morning at his home
at Windber, from complication of
diseases. Immediately upon hearing
of the aged mans demise, Cambria
county Klansmen notified the four
attorneys representing the Klan in
this case, and they prepared a petit
tion to Judge Evans which was pre-
sented to him late Friday. Judge
Evans procrastinated in the matter,
it is reported, and left the decision
to Warden Knee. Klansmen and 9TH
er interested Protestants could not
get into communication with Warden
Knee until late Friday, when he
agreed, however to take the jailed
man to his fathers funeral Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock.
Along with this apparent setback,
came the arrest of hlansman Samuel
Evans, Thursday morning, in Memo
