KLAN EMPEROR 1S SHOWING IGNORANCE Says New England Is Settled by ~ French Catholics —— Tulsa, Okla., April 20.—New York is the most “‘un-American center on the American continent,” William. M. J. Simmons, emperor of the Ku Klux Klan, declared here last night at the first general convention of the Kame- lia, a women's organization formed along the lines of the klan. Directing the attention of the con- vention to what he said was the “menace to the white Protestant civ- {lization from all sides,” Col. Simmons sald the foreign population settled in the great centers of population. He cited New York. whe foremost political and social cconomist of the world recently made a survey of New York city and after listening to its babel of tongues, after feeling its hot breath of anarchy, after touching its seething restlessness, calmly turned away and said that petrograd, in its dust and desolation was a picture of New York city of the future,” he said. The founder of the klan told the convention that “an organization of patriotic, white, Protestant Americdn women" was the other part of a dua vision which came to him in hiv youth. Shows His Ignorance He declared New England' “is set- ticd by French Roman Catholics. They speak the French language, maintain parochial schools and mul- tiply with amazing rapidity.” In the south he asserted there arc more than 11,000,000 negroes “pre- senting a problem to the white peo- ple of that section such as has never been solved in the history of civiliza~ tion.” On the Pacific coast, he continued “the Japanese for years have striven for a foothold on the American con- -tinent.” Sees Féreign Menace wrhe American nation,” the klaf head continued, “‘has been invaded by foreign and allen and undem§eratic elements most of which have been untaught, wundisciplined and unchast- ened. They are incapable of self gove ernment.” He said American womanhood “must cooperate in putting an arrest upon immigration to this country and in distributing the foreign and alien population already here over the country at large and in Americanizing these un-American clements that we must retain.” He said the Kamelia and Klan con- template the founding of a great Am- erican university at Atlanta and that an “insistent demand has come in from other Knglish speaking Protest. ant countries to extend the organiza- tion."” Pure Lard 2 1bs 26c.

Philadelphia, Pa., April 20.—~The wave of hold-ups in Philadelphia in which unemployed young men have been going around in stolen automo- biles and’ robbing individuals, store and paymasters, with frequent shoot- ings, was reflected in the criminal court here when Judge Monaghan sen tenced James 1. West of Buffalo, N | Y., from 26 years 6 months to 35 years in the penitentiary. Irank Martsky of this city, convicted with West of four robberies, was sentenced from 19 years 6 months to 20 years. The pair were arrested for holding up the manager of a chain cigar store. They . pleaded guilty. were placed on trial for three other robberies and convictd. While they were being tried police announced they had received confessions from a number of under arrest here and in Atlantic City for holding up and killing John C.

The Four Clergymen. The clergymen are Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Com- munity church the Rev. John How- ard Melish, rector of the Protestant Episcopal church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn; the Rev. Norman Thomas, Presbyterian, connected with the league for industrial democracy and the Rev. Dr, Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the fashionable Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ascension. “The vicar general was executed not because he was a priest but be- cause he was a traitor,” Mr. Holmes said, to which Mr. Melish added: “No church has a right to defond trait- ors." | Convicted As Traitors. “I have no sympathy with the execution of any man by any govern- ment,” Mr. Melish continued, “but I They | one men | | | recognize that every government has the right to protect itself against its enemies. If Moscow reports of these priests' activities are true, if the ac- cused had a fair trial, they were con- victed not because they were priests but because they were traitors. It is no crime against religion and hu- | manity to punish priests who seek to betray Russia to Poland or to Rome.” Scoff at Hypocrits, After declaring that he, too, op- posed capital punishment, Mr, Holmes | addgl that he “had not the slightest | sympathy with the howl of hypo- critical indignation which is now be- | ng lifted in this country over the execution. “The Moscow government,” he added; “has done only what all the governments have done or would have done in similar cases; the exe- cution is exactly parallel to that of Roger Casement by England and of Childers by the Irish [Free State. What we have done in their affair so far as America is concerned is only more attempt to ruin Russia.” The statements issued by Dr. Grant and Rev. Mr. Thomas were similar the | in purport.
