KHAN LEGISLATIVE
PROGRAM M|[DER
THAN HERETOFORE
FavorS Religious Instruction
and Tighter Rules for
Teachers.

Reading of a portion of the Bible
in the public schools each day and
an amendment 10 the teachers Ii
censing act making it more definitive
were agreed upon as the 1927 legis-
lative activities of the Ku-Klux
Khan at its banquet in the Lincoln
Tuesday evening.
OF the forty-eight legislators
credited with belonging to the secret
order, only small number an
swered the invitation of w. Lee
Smith, grand dragon for Indiana.
Twenty-seven persons attended the
meeting.
Should present plans so through
without change, the bill to make the
reading of a portion of the Holy
Scripture in the public schools each
day would not make it compulsory
on the part of the children.
No Comment on Reading
The bill is to provide only for the
reading of a definite number of chap
ters each day, the lesson to be closed
without comment. Children who did
not desire to do so or whose parents
objected would not be required to
participate.
Supplanting the unsuccessful ef-
fort of the last session when a Khan
bill would have made it impossible to
secure a teachers license unless an
education had been secured in the
public schools, the present amend
ment will demand that the curricu-
lum of the high school from which
the candidate for license has gradu-
ated shall be on par with the
standard of the public schools of the
State.
Through this amendment II Is
hoped to bar at least some of the
students making application for
teachers licenses whose education
has been confined to parochial
schools.
Bill Is Toned Down
The proposed amendment elimi-
mates the features which caused
most of the acrimonious discussion
during the 1925 session and which
would have barred students of mill
tary academies and similar private
institutions of learning.
1t is understood there was hest
fancy on the part of some of the
Khan legislators to be seen attend
ing the gathering.
Information indicates that the
House speakership will not become
Khan issue. Some of the members
Of the order are for Harry Leslie,
vile others have allied themselves
with Lemuel A. Pittenger for the
honor Of swinging the gavel in the
House. 1t is understood that with
the vote so close on the eve of the
caucus "hands-off" policy was
adopted,

at the Corbin Cabinet Lock factory
and earns sixty cents on hour. His
wife has repeatedly refused to go to
the hospital for treatment, saying
she will die at home when her time
comes.
Mrs. Zdanuk testified that there
are three children In the family and
the last time she received any
money for their support was two
weeks before Easter when her hus-
band gave her $40 to buy shoes. A
daughter of the couple testified that
her father drank moonshine and on
one occasion at least sent her to
buy it.
Attorney Lawrence ]. Colon,
representing Zdanuk. said it appears
that Mrs. Zdanuk wants her hus-
bans entire pay every Saturday, but
he is unable TO give it to her because
OF the expense he Is put to on ac-
count of bis property. He buys the
groceries and meets other expenses,
the attorney said, and it did not
strike him that any of the elements
OF non support were present.
Judge Hungerford said the hus-
band should provide for his family
and if his wife is in need of medical
and hospital treatment he should
provide it for her. He continued the
case for one week and advised hus-
band and wife to confer with Pro-
baton Officer Connolly at once and
