KHAN CROSS IS
TORN FROM ITS
CHURCH MO0RLNC
by United Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO, April 2S.-The
flaming cross that nightly for
months has flashed the message of
the Ku Klux Klan to the world
from the spire of the Presbyterian
church at Roseville was forcibly
torn from its pedestal last night.
Persons unknown forced their
way into the church building in
the still hours of the night cut the
electric wires that kept the cross
alight, ropcd the cross and dragged
it from its pinnacle.
The church bell rope was cut and
used for the purpose Of hauling
down the cross.
The cross did not fall TO the
ground, but lodged on the roof of
the building. This morning, when
the deed was discovered, the cross
was hanging askew several feet be-
low its normal position.
Recently n midnight attempt was
made to burn the church. 4 city
night watchman quenched flames
arising from oil soaked newspapers
against the side of the church, and
fired several shots at the arsonist,
a man who was never captured.
Last Friday night the church
trustees, acting on several recent
demands that the cross be removed,
went ON record as favoring the re-
tention of the khan symbol, which
IS one of the most conspicuous fea-
lures of the town at night.
The pastor of the church, Rev.
c. r. Fairfield, makes 10 attempt
to conceal his affiliation with the
khan. He wears the khan symbol,
"a fiery cross, for a scarf pin, and
speaks in the name of the khan in
addressing messages to the law vio-
lators of Rosev;lle, which is rug
ged railroad town.
Rev. Fairfield IS sermon topic last
night was "The Meaning of the
Cross.
