JUDGE WARNS KLAN HE WILL SHOOT 'EM Texas Jurist'%u"—t Stand for| Any Threats Beaumont, Tex., Oct. 4—"I don't want to kill anybody, but if any one of those fellows—and I know lots of them—act suspicio around me I am going to kill him,” Judge E. A. McDowell of the Sixtieth district court, declared this morning as he faced an overflowing courtroom, charged a grand jury, composed main- g'.' of Catholics and demanded in- ictments for white-capping and as- sault to murder against every mem- ber of the local Ku Klux Klan. Judge McDowell said he saw before him in the courtroom many members of the local Klan whom he knew well. “They have threatened to get me,” he said, and then he uttered his warning. “I Defy Them.” “They thrust at everything holy in this country,” declared Judge Mc- Dowell. “So far as I am concerned, I defy them and I say, ‘Lay on, Mac- duff, and damned be him that first cries ‘Hold, enough!" I have a few observations to make in reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Invisible Empire, presided over by an Imperial Wizard, self-constituted, elected for life, with his Cyclops, his terrors, his Kluggs, Kladds a.d Klouncils. I feel sorry for that bunch of fellows whom he fooled. I wonder how he persuaded them to give him $10. “Fellows, I have a list of all the Kleagles in Texas. I know who your Grand Goblin is and your Chief Klea- gle in Texas. I'll have him over here to appear before this grand jury. Sim- mons has absolute control and you have poured out your millions to him. | Raymond, who is held in bail of $5,000 I am a Baptist and you want me to hate my neighbor who is a Catholic.” Speaking of the tarring, feathering and whipping of Dr. K. S. Paul of this city and R. F. Scott of Dewey- ville, as well as the tarring of a man in Sour Lake, near her, Judge Mc- Dowell laid the crimes at the door of the local Klan and said they should be indicted for whitecapping, which carries a benitentiary sentence, and for assaul: t¢ murder. He said he would give the names of the Klan members to the grand jury, but would not read them out in court. Speaking on the crimes of the Klan, Judge McDowell said: “No man has a right to drive an- other from his home. If he violates the law, the courts are open. But when any men get up and take the law into their own hands and go un- whipped of justice, you might just as well tear up your Constitutions of the United States'and Texas, as the Ger- man chancellor did the treaty be- tween Germany and Great Britain and call it a scrap of paper.” _Frands T.em As Cowavds. Ju McDowell flayed the masked Klans apd Ir referring to the men who at Por~ Neches went unmasked in day- time and warned five men to leave town, he said they too were guilty of whitecapping, but added: “But thank Gel, they had the nerve to come with the masks God made, and did not hide behind the cover of night and cov=* of a coward.” ¢ He asked that they be indicted on a misdemeanor charge only, so. they, could be let off with fines of $500 each. Judge McDowell said that after Jocal Klansmen had admitted the whipping of Dr. Paul and Mr. Scott in a letter to newspapers over their scal, they tried to prove an alibi by saying their seal was stolen, but he =aid it was not and he knows where it Is. He said the Klansmen meet in the Cashan Grotto club rooms and displayed several secret documents of tha Klan which he said he would turn over to the grand jury.

Experiments Underway With Mice in Hopes of Predetermining Human Sex. | | | New York, Oct. 4—A highly im-| pertant series of scientific experiments | with a view to predetermining sex in} liuman beings is being conducted at| tiie Carnegie Institution at Cold Suring | Ifarbor, L. I, was announced yester day. These experiments differ from sex predetermination researches conduct- | cd ‘in the past in that mammals are| boing used instead of birés, and they| sim to fix sex before conception, in- stead of to alter it after conception. The staff making the experiments] under direction of Dr. C. B. Daven- port is using mice which have been produced by a very elaborate breed-{ ing process, | Dr. Davenport's staff, it was said| yesterday, feel that if they are able| to conduct their experiments success- fully upon mice they will be able to a4vply the same process to human be- ings, so that parents may actually be able to choose the sex of thi offspring. There have been many attempts at sex predetermination, | «nd several years ago it was re-| ported the late Czar and Czarina of | Russia had resorted to artificiai mocans to obtain a male child. The process on which Dr. Daven- pott's staff is working, according to| announcements, is one for, the prede- termination of sex through the exe- traction of the male or female pre- domination before conception.

Stamford, Conn., Oct. 4.—Alfred H. for alleged embezzlement of $9,272 from the First National bank of New Canaan, was elected auditor of New Canaan at the annual town election yesterday. Raymond, employed as teller of the bank, confessed recently that he had been stealing the bank’s funds for ten years, when an examiner detected an irregularity in his books. Despite the fact that his friends made up the bank’s losses and tne bank officials refused to make any complaint the young man was arrested on complaint of federal authorities and 1is now awaiting trial. Raymond had been nominated for town auditor before he was arrested. Citizens not only did not take his name off the town ticket, but they are do- ing all in their power to have him dealt with leniently by the federal authorities.
