On ltmoS SDecf0t
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Three hundred
miles south of Chicago, 100 miles
east of the nearest metropolis, St.
Louis. lies Herrin, Ill. A city whose
streets are flag draped when armed
hooded klansmen parade, but whose
group of dominant citizens laughs at
city officials, sneers mention Of
county officers, and chortles when
State authority is invoked.
Herrin is dominated by local lead
ers of the Ku-Klux Khan. They
have worked both with the law, and
outside the law. Extra legal en-
forcement of the Eighteenth Amend
ment in Herrin has been marked by
black record of gang feuds, murders
and terrorization.
In the tangled web Of contradic-
tions that causes businessmen OF
Herrin to support a campaign OF
violence, and some of the clergymen
of Herrin to invoke Gods bless
ing on that campaign, definite
psychological elements are involved
1AAAOblUt1dA It OAA
Herrin's leaders come of racial
stock, both Northern and Latin,
which have always bred both feud-
lists and crusaders. Herrin's people
are isolated in a lonely country
where outside authority seems and
is far away. Furthermore, in that
lonely barren country starved emo
tional natures react to the glamor
of organization, plot and crusade.
But above all, Herrin people feel
that the crusade against rum is
for the right"
Herrin was sympolized when, as
my train rolled into town, an ell
DERBY, grizzled miner entered the
smoking car at a way station, lit a
corncob pipe, opened his Bible and,
with peering eyes, read until the
town was reached. Herrin's people
are God-fearing folk who love ''the
right" with the love Of the Spanish
fnquisitors. The clergymen who
preached at Glenn Young's funeral
emphasized that Glenn served
God" Carl Nelson, reputed Exalted
CyclopS or the Khan, quoted Scrip
ture as he threatened violence to
cameramen taking pictures of
Young's funeral.
Apparently no sectarian factor en-
ters into the Herrin situation.
Klansmen declare that they have no
i'll feeling against Catholics or Jews
there. An $4,000 Roman Catholic
church has been built there during
the past year, and the large Catho-
lie community is not involved in the
local struggle.
But the Klansmen wage their war
on bootleggers with fervor of re-
ligious feeling.

is that Williamson County has al

'GASBOOTLEGGERS'
FOUND IN STATE
Men Had Own Wells and
Refneries.

Employment OF Charles Benjamin
gasoline tax collector under Robert
Bracken, former State auditor, as
field man. resulted in the discovery
of two gasoline bootleggers" in the
northern part OF Indiana. of whom
the State knew nothing, according
to A. M. Bobbitt, new collector
today.
These men. Bobbitt said, had their
own wells and reflneries and sold
gasoline at market prices without re-
porting taxes. Benjamin collected
$2,5s6 in delinquent taxes from them.
1t was the first time a field man has
been employed. Benjamin also turned
in an additional $3.4O5 in delinquent
moneys.
Collections for January were
1854, 70S. The delinquent tax brings
the total to $370,704. Collections
January a year ago were $353,674.
The increase was $170S1..

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-On the
slopes of Mount St. Adams, high
above the city, where once he re-
sided as head OF the nation, Woodrow
Wilson, tweny-eighth President Of
the United States, dead one year to-
day, sleeps on.
Entombed forever in the tiny
Bethlehem chapel of the still unfin-
ished Episcopal Cathedral Of U.s..
Peter and Paul. his resting place
has become q national shrine, the
object Of reverent pilgrimages.
The anniversary of his death to-
day passed virtually unnoticed.
Workmen called to one another as
they struggled with giant blocks OF
stone. derricks creaked and ratified
as the work OF finishing the cathe-
dral proceeded. There were no cere-
monies to interfere.
Pass Piles of Bricks
To visit the tomb, one passes piles
Of brick and stone, concrete mixers
and groups of workmen, to reach a
small door leading down a fight OF
stairs to the Bethlehem chapel, the
only completed part of the cathe-
dral. In the quiet of the chapel
the noise from the outside cut off
by thick walls, one comes upon the
last resting place of the Nation s
former leader.
The tomb might be passed unno-
ticed were 1t not for three flags that
hang over the sa-cophagus. BY
close scrutiny one finds the simple
inscription:
Woodrow Wilson, 1S56-1924."
Nothing is said Of the exalted po-
sition he once held, no words de-
scribe his work and for all one can
tell by looking at the tomb. Wood
row Wilson was no more than one
of the countless million inhabitants
OF country.
Crusaders Cross
The sarcophagus, recently COM
pleted, is made Of mankato lime
stone from Minnesota. On its top
is a plainly carved crusaders cross
and the inscription. Above is an
oak canopy on which is carved az
am the Resurrection and the Life,
sayeth the Lord"
Under the vaulting is a cluster of
shields Of the allied countries. Under
is wrought iron grill with it's posts
surmounted by crosses.
On top Of all are three flags. Two,
the four starred Presidents flag, one
for each term Of office, and the other
an American flag carried during the
war by the first body Of American
troops to land in Europe and said
to be the first American flag saluted

If this ordinance is to be anything

necessary for the council to pass an
additional salary appropriation ordi-

a right of appeal which obtains only

connection that the council was not
