DR.. and Mrs. H. ]. Friedberg, old
timers who settled in Denver in the

having delightful experience renew
ing friendships made a generation

DR.. Friedberg has been practising
medicine in New York City, where he

he can't be weaned away from the big
burg. But he marvels at the new
Denver. The Civic Center, the new
buildings of the downtown section, the
new residential sections in the eastern
part of the city-all these are strik-
ing contrast to the Denver he had
known, when the Jewish community
was concentrated between Blake and
Champa streets.
While in Denver the Friedbergs are
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry

last Thursday afternoon at his home

turned back to the house while his
wife waited for him in their car, and
few moments later shot was heard
from the cellar by the maid. Mr.
Levy was already dead when the
maid got to the basement.
Left No Explanation
No cause could be assigned for Mr.
Levy's act other than that he had
been despondent over his i'll health
from which he had been suffering q
long time. No note of farewell or ex-
PLANTATION was found.
Mr.. Levy was well known among
local commission men, having been
the head of the firm of Edward Levy

Kansas City, Mo. - Simon
Fishman, Jewish colonist, won
the Republican nomination for
State Representation from Gree
ly County over Arthur X. Shedd,
who was reported to have the
support of the Ku Klux Klan.
Referring to the Invisible Empire"
of the Ku Klux Klan the victorious
candidate once said the Klan had no
chance in Greeley County. Fishman's
constituents are rooted in the soil. In
1924. Mr.. Fishman cut his 35,0O0-acre
wheat ranch into 1GO-acre tracts. On
each tract he built small house and
furnished 1t, then supplied each farm
with stock and implements. In New
York City he found capial and colonists
among the Jews.
Fishman called the colony his "em-
pire." Apparently his subjects like his
rule. They voted for him and he was
nominated by a majority of eighty
seven votes.
Dispatches from Topeka state that
the Klan was beaten in the primaries
in that city.
Denver's Conventions
Both the Republican and Democratic
parties held nominating assemblies in

open, courageous action was followed
by "A resolution specifically naming the
Ku Klux Klan and the Minute Men as
destroyers of political liberty of action.
The majority report of the Democratic
committee on resolutions favored hold
ing up action on the Klan question un-
til the state convention is held. But
the attempt at pussyfooting was
squelched on the floor of the conven-
tion, the minority report, for immediate
condemnation of the Klan and Minute
