Upon JURY TO INVESTIGATE KELAN, Kentucky Judge Orders Inquiry Into Charges in His County. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 28.—The Ku Klux Klan was ecriticized by Circuit Judgo Carl Henderson yesterday in his charge to the grand jury in open- ing the September term of the Hop- pins county court at Madisonville. Judge Henderson said it was the duty of the grand jury to investigate the activities of the organization. “According to newspaper reports, this organization has for its purpose regulation of the negro and of cer- tain religious sects, without resort to courts of law,” he said. “If such is true, the organization comes under the statute providing for conviction of persons banding together or confed- erating for the purpose of taking the law into their own hands “Every person is entitled to the protection of the law. whether he be white or black, and every person is entitled to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. Violations of these sacred guaran- tees must not and will not be toler- ated in this country and this district.” TABLET. when Clerk clined should enucus or East Berlin Tems.

Officials at the Plainville Trust Com- pany denied today the statemen made by Robert N. Hird and his attor- neys, Joseph Donovan and James T. Mather of Bristol, at the Suj court vesterday in which they c that employees of the bank were al- lowed considerable freedom in over- drawing their accounts. The attor- neys for Hird allgged that the princi- pal trouble at the bank was that of allowing the clerks, as well as higher officials, to overdr@w their accounts. Treasurer A. ‘A. McLeod denied the truth of these statements. Mr. McLeod is responsible for all accounts over- drawn he said and must see that they are balanced on the books. At the trial of Hird yesterday, Judge Wolfe reserved decision after the charge of embezzlement was dropped. However, he pleaded guilty to falsify- ing entries on the books of the bank. A sentence of from oneito 10 years is provided for this offence. Embezzle- ment calls for imprisonment from one to five years. \ Hird's attorneys claim that he was falsifying entries in his books in an effort to catch up with his cverdrawn account which was some $4,500. An account overdrawn to this extent was looked upon as ridicueous by the bank officials and they state that the for- mer bookkeeper would certainly have not made any such entries unless he had intention of causing a discrepancy and using the money for his own pur- poses. Hird was receiving a salary of $1,000 a year or approximately about $20 a week. He had charge of the card system and figures as (o cash totals. On November 2, 3 and 4, he made false entries to the ex- tent of $4,500. States Attorney Aj- corn said also that it was significant that on November 3, Hird came to Hartford to purchase an automobilc »r $3,100. The bank officials became suspicious as they did noi believe the bookkeeper was able to purchise such a car with his salary. His ac- tions outside of banking hours also were against him and an investiga- tlon followed with his dismissal shortly: after he had bought the car. Bank aminer Mary Ellwood w called In to investigate and found the talsified account The attorney for Hird however said that there had been a multiplic- ity of errors at the bank not charg- able to their client. They made a strong plea for suspension of judg- ment in his case. Judge Wolfe placed Hird in the custody of the sheriff and will pronounce sentence later in the term. med Football Sunday. The lid will be pried off the foot- ball scason Sunday aftermoon when the Plainville Football team will clash with the Mohawks of New Bri- tain at Rockwell's field. A heavy line-up will be seen on the field for the local team and they are looking forward to a successful season. 'T'h complete line-up will be published later in the week. The awarding of half a barrel of flour will be held at the game and all proceeds will be used for cquipment for the team. Many Acttend Lecture. Itev. James M.

New York, Sept. 28.—President Harding has indorsed the movement to found a permanent exhibit of manuscripts, personal mementoes and other material relating to Theodore Roosevelt, the Roosevelt Memorial as- sociation announced today. He said such an endeavor was a public serv- ice. “Theodore Roosevelt has already been accepted by the majority of his fellow citizens as the third in America’s great triumvirate,” the president wrote to the association. “We would give much today if a group of Washington’s friends or a group of Lincoln's associates had, immediately after the death of their leader, set about collecting memen- toes and memorabilia as your organ- ization is collecting them. We know those two great lives only too frag- mentarily. Thanks to the work your assoclation is doing, posterity will know Roosevelt more completely than it will know any of his predecessors. “I hope you will receive wide and enthusiastic response to your appeal and that, however individuals ay treasure their Roosevcit relics, they may be willing to surrender them for the greater good of all. I shall be glad to contribute, if among thoso mementoer which I have and prizo I can find something which will be appropriate.’ R. R. MEN ARE SILENT.
