Near Riot When
Sanford Klansrnen
Stage Demonstration

Sanford. Aug. 9-Drawing a revolt
yer when the crowd pressed too close.
one Of the special policemen called
out to help maintain order here to-
night during the big ku Klux Khan
demonstration, finally succeeded in
pushing back the scores who surped
about the entrance of the knights OF
Pythias hall on School street, where
one of the sessions was held, and q
mounted officer rode into the throng
and repeatedly showed the people
ahead of him.
The rush to the hall came just aft
er the outdoor meeting of the klans-
men at the baseball park had end
ed, and previous to that two false
alarms. apparently rung in with the
intent to break up the Khan gather
ing. had called out the whole depart
ment OF the town and that of the
Sanford mills.
Late tonight the mounted police
were continually riding up onto the
sidewalk to keep the crowds moving.
but up 10 midnight no arrests had
been made.
Call for Reenforeements
At one time during the exercises
at the park hundreds gathered out
side the fence we're shouting and
walking about, and finally a call for
reenforcements to the guards at the
fence was made from the speakers
platform.
Twenty-Five able bodied men from
the grandstand Responded promptly,
and within short time things had
quieted down somewhat.
The first of the fire alarms was
from box %. at the junction of KIM
ball and Shaw streets, not far from
the place where the outdoor meeting
was taking place. While the firemen
were down there, another came in
from box. 80 near Hotel Sanford on
Main street. and at the intersection
of the thoroughfare leading to the
baseball park.
In the meantime there were other
crowds In the village streets. scores
of automobiles were parked about
town. and thA police, nearly all OF
whom had been provided with mounts
Tor the occasion, were pushing the
crowds hither and thither when il
became necessary.
Time and again the horses were
driven onto the sidewalks to accom-
plish this.
The most excitement came, how
ever, at the entrance TO the Knights
OF Pythias hall. where It looked for
few minutes as though an attempt
was being made to storm the place.
The mounted policeman who hurried
there drove his horse right ND to the
doorway. and then he went Into the
crowd occasionally.
When the excitement was ut its
height the special cop pulled his gun
and drove back those In front of him.
One OF the IRE alarms was rung in
JUST as the huge fiery cross at tla
baseball park began to blaze up.

New York. Aug. 10 tBy A. P.)-
Profit taking in the markets and re-
ports of a further slight improve
ment in industry divided attention
In business and financial quarters
during the past week with continued
ease in money and encouraging re.
ports from the London conference.
The cheapness of money was en-
phasized by a fresh reduction in the
rediscount rate Of federal reserve
bank at New York, the new rate OF
g percent comparing with one of
3 1-2 percent that had existed since
June II. AS the member banks at
New York are nearly out of debt,
at the reserve institution and as the
official rate was above the market.
the reduction did not have much
effect on the open market condi-
eating a. belief that no early or sud-
den f1rming up in rates Is likely.
Reports from the steel industry
revealed a maintenance of the slight
improvement In OBJECTION and buy
ing that began in the latter half of
July. Output for the industry as q
whole was somewhat in excess of
40 percent OF capacity. The trade
reviews indicated that the pickup
that occurred was chiefly because of
the reduction in stocks in consum-
er's hands. No great Improvement
Is anticipated until a revival occurss
in other lines of industry. steel
prices continued soft, desirable or
ders drawing out fresh conscience
from the manufacturers.
Rail car loadings continued to
hold to a fairly even level. The to-
tai for the week ended July rs was
926,OOO, which was slightly smaller
than that for the week before and
some 10000 below the total for the
corresponding week of last year. The
statistics revealed a materially in
creased movement of grain. which
was natural response to the bet
ter conditions that now prevail in
the grain markets.
Grain prices were subject to con-
siderable fiuctuatiCn with hedging
sales a restraining factor. Values
were, nevertheless. well maintained
with the September future holding
around $1.30. This occurred despite
government crop report that rails
ed t previous months estimate
by 74,0O00O0 bushels.
Thu government report on the
cotton crop also placed the yield at
higher figure. Here the increase
in the estimate during the last two
weeks of July announced to AIT.
600 bales 1t put the anticipated total
up to 23,351 900 bales. Prices were
somewhat lower. Development was
constructive as far as the textile in
dustry is concerned as large crop
at moderate prices Is needed to slim
ulate consumers buying of cloth
and clothing.
Fresh cuts in oil prices were ia
ken as showing th5 t the industry Is
still embarrassed by excessivee pro-
duction, consumption being good.
Both the Dunn and Bradstreet in
dices Of commodity prices rose APP
probably during July. Prices Of
industrial commodities were steadier
but displayed little positive strength.
Strength in the foreign exchange
called attention a-the firmer mon
ey market at London and to the
progress made in the Preparations
negotiations. The bank OF England
rate has not been marked up but
the commercial banks have advanc.
ed their rates to make the official
rate more effective. Prospects for
an agreement with regard to the
Dawes plans are considered good.

the allied terms on PREPARATIONS de-
faults. Subsequent profit taking
brought about a moderate reaction
French exchanges showed more moder-
ate improvement and Swiss francs
came within a few points of par.
Reduction of the local federal re-
serve rediscount rate from 81 to 3 per
cent. the lowest on record. was one of
the most significant financial develop
ments ofthe week. While the main
purpose apparently was to bring the
bank more in line with the open mar
ket rates, some observers also express
ed the opinion that it also helped to
prepare the local market for the forth
coming $2O0,0G0,000 German loan, half
of which will be probably offered in
the country.
