A branch, called a "Den" in the high- faluting terminology ot the associa- tion, has been formed 'in New York, and according to Imperial Wizard Col. William Joseph Simmons, of GeOrgia, people would be surprised it they learned the names and the important positions occupied in the life of the state and city by the New York members. Just what the Klan purposes doing in the North is not clear, but we infer that a crusade against Bolslevists, Jews and Roman Catholics figures in the program. There are hardly enough colored people in the North to call for the against BoWt1evtsts, Jews a1 Catholics figures in the There are hardly enough people in the North to call activities of the famous or; In the South. presumably, 1 unfinished business will be ing of the negroes in a wo of servitude than formerly is a hint, too, that the Kla: organization of "100 per cer cans" and equ-'lly red-blot from time to time show tlr EIGHT The order being an extremely Bee- ret brotherhood. facts as to its mem- bership and objects are not readily found, but a New York negro. mem- ber of the National Association tor the Advancement of Colored People, by pretending that he wished to join the Klan, received some literature which hints at its objects. The let- ters he received in response to his request for admisssion were headed “Imperial Palace of the Invisible Em pire, Department of Propagation, 0f- Iice of the Imperial Kleagle, P. o. Box 1204, Atlanta, Georgia." The first letter spoke of the former glor- ies ot Ku Klux, which it was assum- ed, were one of the choicest heritages of 100 per cent. Americanism. It was hinted that in the days ot Bob. shevism and disorder the old Klan ought to be revived to strike a blow In behalf of the real red-blooded American. It was explained that the Klan had been reorganized and broad ened, and that it’s aim was to form a fraternal order all over the United States, "In the name of our tathertr- for one country, our homes'and each other." ates where they history is to be get oft at a tra around their n ANTr-CATHOLT,C SLANT The next letter from the same aug- ust source enclosed a form which the applicant was to fill out. It ask- ed a lot ot personal questions, not omitting, "Are you of the white race or of a colored race tt The next question was, 'Are you a Gentile or a Jew?" and it is from the latter question that we infer some hostility to the Jews on the part of the reor- ganized Klan. The applicant was al- so asked, "Do you believe in the prin ciples of a PURE = Americanisms."' whatever that may be. An Anti-Ro- man Catholic slant we inter from the question. "Do you owe ANY KIND of allegiance to any foreign Government, institution, sect, people, ruler or person?"

The in- quirer was told that after he had sat- isfactorily answered the twenty ques- tions he would be given more inform- nut admitted later that it there was a demand for the services of the Ku Kluxers they would be found on the job. He intimated that the lawless- ness in New York and the operations ot bandits and gangmen would be enough to justify the formation of the Den. In the South the order has been revived, though we have not heard of any such acts ot violence as distinguished the original Klan. But in important Southern cities the white riders have paraded as they did fifty years ago, and no doubt a shiver has passed down the spine ot the negroes who saw the demonstra- tion. The correspondence led to t authorities takintt cognizance Imperial Wizard's activities spirited telegraphic duel took between them, in which Col mons denid that any ot his ( plated moves were un-Ameri, ation about the Klan, but apparently he did not qualify. declined to admit that a branch Ol Den had been formed in New York but admitted later that if there was The original Klan, which has been described by Thomas Dixon in "The Leoaprd’s Spots," and more lately in the moving picture, "The Birth of Soft soap is easily made at home and any scraps of kitchen fat or drippings can be used in the making.

A quarter of a mile away, at the bottom of the "Khad" (hill) he had seen several "ehikaor" roosting in a small patch ot Jungle. He suggested that we should post ourselves on either side of the cover, sending the "sais" on to act as beater. By dint of holding on to convenient bushes, and pausing to take breath every few minutes, I eventually arrived (in a more or less blown condition) within a hundred yards of the jungle.

It was a rip snorter of a game from start to finish. A tough one for the Lett Overs to drop and lucky win for the Scholars. It was anybodys old ball game at all times. High school started off by getting to McBride’s twists tor three runs in the first inning and garnered another one in the third. This ended their scoring until the ninth when they grabbed another one. The Lett Overs got their first tally in the second and came back strong in the third for three more and in the ninth scored again, thus tieing the game up tive-tive. In the Lett Overs half of the tenth they failed to connect, while the High School hv timelv hit- game on the grounds that Beamsville would not go back on the field and thereby forfeited their rights. Also. that the three men who had been sent back to bases should not' have been sent backand tht the runs counted and therefore the game was a tie 11-11. .

We do not claim that the facts are right and therefore retrain from pass ing an opinion as to Jewe11's decis- ion, or decisions. or Go Fonthill’s right to claim the game. The tact still remains that the game broke up in a disgraseful manner and is not creditable to either team, the um- pire, the constable or the league. at all it had to be absolutely waist high, no higher and no lower and right across the centre ot the plate. curves, drops, breaks and the other “wists of the ball were no good for strikes. Result, Beamsivlle scored eight runs in the first inning. Inci- dentally all the Beamsville weak hit- ters went to first on walks. One runner was called safe at the plate when he Was out by tour feet. From the first to the seventh inning Beamsville scored three more runs. During this time it is claimed that Jewell umpired a real air gabe, but also during this time Fonthill garner- ed seven runs. In the seventh inning Fonthill got three men on bases and no one down, a Fonthill batter came to the plate and wheled a Iona hit out to left field which the fielder dropped and lost the ball in me grass. All four Fonthill players Came home on the gallop. Jewell sent three ot the men back to bases and would not allow their runs to count. That is when the fun and fight commenced. Crowe. third baseman for Fonthill rushed u? and asked Jewell what he meant by sending the three menback. Jewell told him he was running the game and would not be questioned by any young pup, or pug dog, or insect or some other kind of an animal whereat Crowe invited hint to take his mask off. He refused to do M, so Ciowe cracked him one under the chin and he measured himself out on the turf. When he got up' Crowe clipped him another and knocked hint down for a second time.
