HUGE CEREMONY HELD
Candidates Brought Onto Field
in Impressive Manner by
RObed Men

MONCK'S CORNER, S. c., May g.
Thousands of people gathered near
here few nights ago to witness the
open-air ceremonial of the Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan. 1t was one of
the most impressive sights witnessed
here in many years and caused much
favorable comment from the spec
tators.
The initiation ceremony was pre-
ceded by short speech by the Rev. S.
J. Parrish, of St. George, who spoke
on Americanism. He stressed the
Importance of every true American
citizen being on the alert in behalf
Of his country.
At the conclusion of this important
address a signal was given in the
woodland near the ceremonial
grounds, and hundreds of robed
klansmen marched onto the field in
an orderly manner, without speaking
a word. Behind the robed Klansmen
came scores of candidates in charge
of an officer of the klan, who direct
ed their movements with military
commands.

O'Brien County
Kldn Unit Has
Complete Band

SHELDON, Ia, May 5.-The OBri-
cen county Klan unit claims the first
complete band in the state. 1t
will not be long until the band is
composed Of 100 pieces.
The first public appearance of the
band was made recently when large
meeting was held at Hartley near
here. There were over 700 men
present, and over 200 of them took
the obligation of citizenship in the
Invisible Empire.
On the Saturday night before Eas-
ter large fiery crosses were burned in
Sheldon, Sanborr aud Hartley. The
citizens of these communities know
that the klan is active i'm the coun-
ty. With the coming of good wealth
er and an improvement in roads, it
is confidently expected by local Klan
officials that there will be great in
creases in membership. There are
many Protestant Americans through
out the county who are anxiously
awaiting the opportunity to join the
ever-growing throng of Klansmen.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May g.
Former Attorney General Daugherty
has staged comeback, and the SEN
ate investigating committee is now
preparing to force showdown on
the issue. The committee will chal-
lenge his authority to stop examina-
tion of his private kilograms and
will ask Attorney General Stone to
contest action on the injunction.
Mr.. Daugherty has filed suit in the
district supreme court against the
Brookhart committee, the sergeant
alarms of the senate and the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies to prevent them from continu-
ing the investigation. While the suit
is directed at the production of tel
egrams, Daugherty challenges the
committees power to investigate his
alleged failure to prosecute anti
trust cases and Albert b. Fall, Harry
Sinclair and E. L. Doheny.
Committee members have been or
dered to appear soon to show cause
why injunctions should not be issued.
Senators Brookhart and Wheeler are
considerably aroused over the suit.

"the committee is conducting an in

CHIEF
SHOULD GO TO JAIL
John Lick of FariBault Faces
Sentence for BOOtlegging
Liquor
(By EYETHERE)

Friends, Americans, Klansmen, lend
me your ears:
Recently former Chief of Police
John Lick of Faribault, Minnesota,
was arrested while in the act Of
transporting liquor, and when his res
idence was searched, liquor aggregat-
ing twelve gallons was found.
When arraigned in justice court,
John Lick pleaded guilty to main
tanning a nuisance, and was fined
$4,000 and costs. At the prelimi-
nary hearing on the transportation
charges, Lick waived examination and
was taken before District Judge Fred
w. Sem and pleaded guilty. Where
upon the Judge imposed a sentence of
$4,000 fine and 45 days in Rice coun-
ty Jail.
The judge 81 ce has granted Mr..
Lick two stays of sentence, the last
to expire May 8, but listen, dear
reader, rumors are current that dele
cations of the bootleggers sympa-
thizers have made special trips to
Waseca and called upon His Honor
asking for lenience for Mr.. Lick, and
it is further rumored that boasts
have been made that John LICK will
never go to Jail.
The citizens of Faribault, including
even some Of the bootlegger's pa
irons, are wrathy at the prospect of
suspended sentence in Mr.. Lick's
case, and are clamoring for law and
Justice to take its course. The prop
err disposal Of this case will set a
precedent and admonish all officers
and representatives of the people not
to betray the public trust in the fu-
ture.
The 100 per cent Americans of
Rice county and all good citizens
who want to see the constitution up
held and the laws enforced are ex-
pecting a vindication of our good
Judge in spite of the hypnotic efforts
of the un-American element.

(Bureau Of Publication and Edueatfsn)
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 6.-Sen-
ator Hefiin, Of Alabama, and his at
torney, James r. Page, Of Kansas
City, Mo-, are having hard time OF
it with the subcommittee appointed
to hear the case against r. B. Creager
and others for alleged land frauds in
the Rio Grande valley in Texas.
For instance, the government went
to the expense of bringing witnesses
from Kansas City to Washington to
tell what they knew Of the treatment
Of prospective land purchasers after
they were herded together in Kan
sas City, loaded on Pullman cars, spe-
cial cars for the trip to Texas having
been secured, and then what steps
were taken by the Texas companies
to handle the prospects after they
were aboard the train.
Chairman Moses, New Hampshire,
would not permit the Kansas City
witnesses to tell what action the land
company agents took on the train to
give the new homeseekers certain in
formation they wanted them to get
and to keep away from them any
others who might want to give
them other information. This tes-
timony will be gotten into The Rec
ord.
