McConnell of the Methodist Tpiscopal ' church was interrupted while delivering a sermon at the IFirst church here last night by nine hooded and robed members of the Ku Klux Kian.

Rev, Dr, Abel A, Ahlquist is pastor, On his arrival in New York a week ago, the archbishop who s accompanied by his wife and son, the latter serving as his secre. tary, was recelved with great honors, A large delegation of city officials and clergymen went out on the police boat ut the city of New York to meet the distinguished visitor, At the landing place thousands were gathered to New York, Oct, 8.—Three armed men early today held up the night manager and severffl employes of the Ritz Carleton hotel and robbed a jewelry storo off the lobby of $5,000 worth of gems. The robbery occurred at 2:30 a. m. Charlie Chaplin, who entered the hotel | lobby 15 minutes after the bandits fled, was the first outsider to learn of it. Not until five hours later, after hotel employes had tried to trail the robbers and falled, wa3s the holdup re- ported to the police. The bandits fled when a special of- ficer on his rounds of the hotel dis- covered what was going on. They left $45,000 worth of jewels in the smashed case. Chaplin joined the officer and the night manager in following the ban- dits. They learned that the bandits, belleved by the hotel doorman to be guests, gtarting off on an early morn- ing adventure, helped them through the revolving doors and into the auto- mobile which drove up as they emerged. George A, Weller, night hotel de- tective, probably owes his life to a moment of indecision on the. part of the mian at the case, who covered the detective with a revolver as he ran | down the curving stairs from the mez- zanine balcony, tugging at a revolver as he ran. The bandit, his gun drawn, wavered for a moment and fled without firing. No shots were fired during the rob- bery. The only sounds were sharp spoken words of command from the man with the revolver, the crash of glass as the case, the property 'of Theodore B. Starr, Inc, was broken and the pad of running feet over the thick carpets of the lobby. The primate of Sweden comes to 16,000 WINERS STRIKE | .
