KU KLUX KHAN IS
 ISSUE AT BUFFALO:
 2 MURDERS RESULT
CITY LIFE IS AFFECTED BY ILL FEELING GROWING OUT OF
 KHAN FIGHT

BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 4.-Some- thing far more exciting than any po- litical campaign has been going on here. Politicians may learn much from it, but communities having members in the Ku Klux Klan may learn still more.
 For the greatest michief, including a couple of murders has resulted from the mysterious publishing of list of members of the Kan. Denials, most of which are not being accepted as sin cere, are coming from every side.
 Businessmen, who depend on Catho- lies, Jews, or Negroes for their trade, are being boycotted-one milk dealer is said to have lost hundred custom CTS over night-and the end of the bitterness is not yet in sight.
 The episode has been developing for several weeks. First Klan headouar- ters were broken into by unknown persons. It was rumored that long list had been stolen. Not long after wards from neighboring city there came by mail the Buffalo membership cards of the Klan. Mayor Schwab in- vited anyone who owned the cards to recover their property. No one appear ed. Then list of the members was made available to the newspapers by the mayor. The newspapers feared libel as they would not be sure the list was bonafide and even if it was they could not risk law suit with few individuals who might be erron- eously listed. Then someone inter- ested in getting the names spread in the city had them printed in pamphlet form. Attorneys for the newsboys association advised against their be- ing handled at the news stands. Hun- dreds of copies, nevertheless were sold and all over the city people may be found studying those lists for familiar names. Fist fights, several houses painted up and a withdrawal of pat ronage from business folk mentioned were some of the sequels. In the midst of it all, two men killed each other and a third was badly wounded. One of the dead was discovered to be an organizer for the klan sent here to investigate the loss of the cards. The wounded man admits being a To- cal kleagle. The second man killed was former policeman, who is now supposed to have joined the KIan as a spy for the major. It was he who was charged with having stolen the list. He is dead now, so he can tell no tales, but the list has proved terrible leracu

KENT THREsHERMEN TO MEET
To Discuss Problem of Using Concrete
Highways to Run Their Rigs Over
Present Law Protects Roads


Highways to Run Their Rigs Over
Present Law Protects Roads
A meeting of the Kent County
Threshermen and Farmers Association
will be held at Dover on Saturday,
March 20, at which time a general
discussion will be had on the question
of providing proper methods of trav-
cling over the improved highways of
the State. The present law provides
that where threshing engines, tractors
and other implements with cleats on
their wheels are used on the improved
highways the wheels shall be proper
ly cushioned before the vehicles are
run onto the highways. This is nee
essary to preserve the new roads that
have been built at a cost of thousands
of dollars. The purpose of the meet
ing is to devise some method whereby
the owners of these machines can
meet the requirements so that they
may use the highways. There is an
effort on the part of some to create
sentiment in favor of the repeal of
the present statutes and allow the en-
gines unrestricted use of the concrete
and macadam highways. This is un-
necessary if the owners will use due
/ diligence; or have the wheels on their
engines changed to meet the require
ments of the law and save the roads.
/ Whatever the merits or dememts of
the controversy, it will be we'll for all
persons interested in the subject to
attend the meeting at Dover on March
20. The section of Delaware laws
which cover the situation will be
found in Chapter 213, Section 6, Of the
1919 law. 1t follows: "Section 6.
Traction engines, road rollers, and
farming implements must comply
with the requirements of this law and
shall not be allowed on the State
Highways unless the wheels are
smooth or equipped with smooth
cleats Of at least two inches in width.
If the vehicles have cleats other than
above specified that cannot be re-
moved, then cushions shall be placed
between the cleats in such a manner
that the cleat will not come in contact
with the pavement, so as to cause ar
injury to the Highway"
