(Ry the Associated Press)


BIRMINGHAM, Mass, Aug
Sixty of the rs men taken
into custody last night after a
ku Klux Klan meeting had been
broken up in a shooting affray
in which five men were wound
ed, were released today. The
other Is were held in 5000 bail
for appearance August 10 on
charges of assault with dam
gerOus weapons.
The riot, one of the most Sc
rious Klan disorders ever stag
ed IN New England, started last
night when a crowd of hostile
spectators gathered outside Of
a field on the farm Of Pearley
W. Libby, where 100 Klansmen
intended to hold their fifth
meeting in as many weeks.
A few taunts and rocks hurled at the
klansmen by the outsiders were ans
wered by six charges Of buckshot fired
from the darkness near hen house be-
sid" the Libby house. AS the five men
fell, the outsiders dispersed, pausing
only to pick up the wounded and carry
them to DR.. C. J. Carr, who dressed
their wounds and notified state police.
Lieut.. Charles t. Beaupre and four
other state troopers rushed to the scene.
He Immediately called troopers from the
Concord, Holden and Reading stations.
The police them surrounded the Lib
by farmhouse and arrested 45 men who
were hiding inside. A search of the
barn revealed % more and eight others
were found hiding in the bushes. State
troopers also found two shotguns, a
rifle and two belts of ammunition in
the Klan meeting place. A jammed
rifle was found in an automobile.
Early today hundreds Of men from
surrounding towns came here and join
ed the throngs of townfolk which milled
about the streets in the vicinity Of the
police station where the rs alleged
klansmen were locked up. A large de-
tail of state and town police was on
hand to prevent further disorders.
Captain Parker head of the state
constabulary, led the investigation. He
ordered every one of the prisoners held
until he questioned them. The stories
told by the two factions in the rio
differ widely. The -Klansmen claim
they were fired on from ambush as they
stood in the highway in front Of the
Libby farm. The KIansmen claim that
rocks had ben hurled at them from the
highway. This was denied by specta-
tors who said they were not molested.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. IL.
Colonel Will Gray Beach, chief
of the narcotic division of the
internal revenue department for
the Chicago district, and three
of his trusted assistants have
been arrested on charges of bar
tering drugs for the loot of rob-
Der gangs.
Co-incident with the arrests.
agents of the special intelli-
gence unit of the internal reve-
nue. bureau, reinforced by more
than 100 detectives, raided a
score of opium joints in China
town and on the South Side.
Arrested with Beach were Dennis o.
Brien, Alonzo Baxter and Harry Diet
rich. Other arrests will be made, said
federal agents. as part Of a nation
wide inquiry and clean-up Of alleged
grating conditions in the federal mar
cotic service.
Elmer L. Trey, chief Of the special in
telligence unit, who came from Wash
ington to work with Patrick Roche, spe-
cial agent here, disclosed the raids and
arersts were ordered by David III.
Blair, commissioners Of internal revenue
and Lincoln c. Andrews, who recent
ly was given free hand in enfcrce-

ly salable goods Identified as stolen and
worth thousands Of dollars, including
wearing apparel, jewelry cuhios, ,radi,
sets, guns, cameras, searchlights, fans,
arc lamps and violet ray machine used
in beauty parlors.
Beach came here four years ago from
Philadelphia and had acquired repu-
t:.tion as lecturer on drugs and their
evils. He brought Baxter and DIETRICH
with him. They became, with O'Brien,
an ace of long service here. the most
feared Of narcotic raiding squads.
Five weeks ago a special corps of
Investigators, some of them Chinese, re-
ported to Roche. They found that Col.
Beach possessed a beautiful chinese
green jade vase, worth $4,000 and
green jade opium smoking outfit
was considered the finest in the world.
A fortnight ago raiders made their
largest seizure in years " hen they con-
fiscated opium and drugs valued at
nearly quarter million dollars In the
apartment of Kitty Gilhooley, called
Queen Of the dope peddlers. In asd-
dtion they found lists of names and
telephone numbers that indicated q
ring of nation wide extent existed with
headquarters here.
The Chinatown raids we're timed to
take place Simultaneously. Opium a4st-
fits were seized and negroes and Chi
nese addicts found in several places
were arrested. Plans to continue the
raids todsy would net 200 or more arr
rests, the agents estimated.
Chief Trey, in detailing the investf-
cation leading to the arrests and raids,
said that 20 special agents from other
cities came here yesterday and within
a few hours had been able to make
purchases of narcotics in Chinese
places.
"Its' the biggest exposure Of a dope
ring ever made in the United States

source Of supply for the entire country.
