With about 3,000 klansmen from all parts of the state and a few | from Massachusetts and New York | in attendance, an elaborate in-| itiation of between 200 and 300 can- | didates took place on Saturday night at the farm of David Y. Clark on Fall Mountain. Two large lots in the rear of the Clark homestead were reserved for the ceremonials and for the parking of the 500 motor cars, which transported the crowd. Three lines of guards were strung about the lots to keep out all out- siders but two reporters succeeded in penetrating the inner ranks, one from the New Britain Herald and the other from the Waterbury Re- publican. The reporters had places of vantage within 60 feet of the speakers’ stand, which had been erected M the center of one of the lots and which had been profusely decorated with bunting and Amer- ican flags. To the right of the stand was a |huge American flag, illuminated by spotlights from the ground and at the left was a big .wooden cross. Directly opposite the first cross was another. The two crosses were burned as a part of the awe-inspir- ing ritual work, which was rorduct- ~d under the direction of Harry B. Lutterby, grand kleagle ‘or the realm of Connecticut. David Y. Clark, owner of the fleld, aysisted the imperial nighthawk, the official who led the candidates about the enclosure while the klansmen sa “Onward Christian Soldiers,” dur- ing the early part of the degr work. The imperial nighthawk car- ried a cross, lighted by electric bulbs, showing the new members of the invisible realm the way amid the stones of the old cowpasture. While the crosses were burning. a flashlight picture was taken by the klan photographer, after which it was announced that on October 25 in Higganum, an initlation will be held under the auspices of Meriden klan No. 3. Talks on Politics. The speaker of the evening. blood and thunder orator, a Mr. Mayberry, who was announced as having come from a campaign through New Jersey, spoke on a “cleanup of politics.” He wanted the “old gang” thrown omt and a new political lineup presented. Whether he favered republican or democratic planks could not be de- termined so hazy were his remarks on salient topics but he announced dramatically that after the Novem- ber election. a klan president would be in the White House. This an- nouncement was greeted with cheers and sustained applause from the women “assembled for miore than 400 of the female sex at- tended to be initlated in the kamelia section of the klan. The woman were more enthusiastic than the men and all references to the pro- a tection of the “purity of our woman- hood” ereated applause, which drowned out the speaker at in- tervals. He delivered a tirade against the Pope, saying that the Pope was a man without a nation and that the Pope had designs upon this country for his own. “Keep America for Americans,” pleaded Mr. Mayberry, at the conclusion of his remarks against the Pope. Unless something is done at once to stop immigration to this country, the speaker declared there will be no such thing as pure Americans left and therefore it be- hooved all 100 per cent Americans to pool their resources as the klan | was daing to protect themselves and keep the country of their fore- fathers, “for it is the greatest coun- COORE SERVICE | Specislists in | Plainville Real Estate || Insurance : UNDERWRITERS [ The John Cooke Co. | 7 HOUGH ST. Plainville || Real Estate and Insurance try in the world and we mustn't let them (all those not 100 per cent Americans), get control. The speaker also feared for the public schools and while not mens tioning the parochial schools by name gave no reason for doubt that these were the institutions against which he was aiming his shots. He declared that there should be no other schools than the, public schools, as schools of nnlflu- de- nominations had an un-Americaniz- ing tendency. After Mr., Mayberry had subsided into a flood of applause, Grand Kleagle Lutterby was introduced and was evidently a joke as his listen- ers found much merriment in his sallies against opponents of the klan. The activity of the guards and the attempts of young men of théeity to get by the lines of defense inter- fered with the reporters at this time as they were compelled to seek more cover to escape the spot- lights and to continue their posts of vantage. Following the grand kleague's rerharks, the inner circle of klexters or guards were called in and after a few moments of confer- ence, the call for candidates was is- sued and the New Britain ecandi- dates were ordered to stand at the right of the refreshment stand, while the Bristol and other candi- dates were placed nearby. The ritual then began and consisted of parading around the fleld several times and the taking of the oath. As the parade was about to start, the master of ceremonies announced that the members of Rristol klan in their patriotic fervor desired that “America” be sung. The hymn was started and then the degree work began with a rush. In strong comparison with the impressive ritual in one lot were the events in the other lot near the re- freshment stand, which amounted almost to an orgy. A victrola ground out, “It ain’t gonna rgin no mo’"” while kamelias and klan- ners danced over the greensward and a noisy hubbub kept up around the booths. Despite this distraction the Lutterby-Mayberry faction were busy taking up the klectokens or initiation fees and in putting their candidates through their paces. Then the whole field was lighted by the flames from the two crosses and the ceremonies rapidly drew to a close, After the meeting, young men of the city and guards had wordy ar- guments as the guards tried to pre- vent newspapermen from taKing the numbers of cars. One guard seized the Herald man to destroy a sheaf of numbers but immediately desist~ ed when persuasion was applied. Chief among the klanners and one who seemed to have charge of the transportation of the officials, the placing “of the green marker lights and also in directing the guards was H. E. Roberts of Wolcott, a justice of peace, who drove touring car K1453. All of the guards were armed with regulation police sticks and some carried revolvers but no violence was offered with the excep- tion of the kiexters at the main en- trance, who wanted to do something but were aparently afraid of the gathered throng in the road. David Y. Clark, Jr., son of the owner of the property walked up and down in front of his property with a po- liceman's club. He asked a report- er what he was going to do with the numbers and said that he thought that it wouldn’t do to print them. The Herald man was informed by the klexters early in the evening that no New Britain Herald man would be admitted but a ray of hope was thrown out in this re- mark: “We might let the New Brit- ain reporters in, if their paper pub- lished something good about us once in awhile.,” The meeting started early in the afternoon when the arrangements for the event were taken care of by the Bristol members. The event was in the natura of an outing as the first part of the program took place shortly before 4 o'clock when some of the ceremonies for the women were conducted. Mrs. Mary Dorsey Mrs, Mary Dorsey, 92 years cld, died at her home in Henry place on Sunday, following a short illness. She leaves three nieces, Mrs. Mich- ael White of Waterbury; Mrs. B. Loughlin and Mrs. Anna Kelly of Hartford. The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning at St. Joseph’'s church and the burial will take place in Catholic cemetery. Mrs. Dorsey had spent nearly her whole life in this place and was the widow af John Dorsey, a Civil War veteran. Caucuses Tuesday Night Democrats of the city will gather ! for the caucus of that party tomor- | tint row night, when one of the most important meetings in late years will take place. No announcements bhas been made of candidates for the offices of representatives, although | that will be one of the main issues at the G. O. P. meeting at Red Men's hall, also tomorrow night. The se- lection of the candidates for these offices by the democratic party will mean a big measure of the success of the party machine in the city at the November election as it is con- ceded that the democratic party has a good chance if the right men can he nominated. The G. O. P. forces the Terryville J will have strong men, however, which ever way the Repul caucus turns out, 0 & hard i is anticlpated by the democrats, One more rally is planned by the Demo- cratic party before the election 4n order that the party principles may be expounded, Complain of Thefts |cars, parked on the Memorial boule- vard have started a police investiga- tion.

WAR ON BOARD OF FORFIGN RUM SHi Crew Badly Beaten--48,000 Cases Confiscated New York, Oct. 13.~—Rolling lazily on a gentle swell in the lee of Sandy Hook, with her crew of thirty-two in irons and her cargo of 43,000 cases of liquor under government seal, the seized Norwegian steamship Saga- tind, this morning awaited disposi- tion at the hands of the federal gov- ernment, There was nothing to sug- gest the tumultuous scenes that had been enacted on her decks before the coast guard cutter Seneca sighted her floating aimlessly about 40 miles out from New York, without a helmsman. When the Seneca came upon the Sagatind, just before dawn yester- day the lookout of the cutter hailed the ship, and, receiving no response, fired three shots across her bows. ‘When still there was no sign of life aboard, Captain R. L. Blake of the Senecc, ordered his men to boara her, acting under a law permitting search of a vesscl known to be in communication with the shore. The customs men clambered over the side and looked about the deck cautiously, half expecting to be fired upon. They saw no one on deck but a search disclosed two sailors asleep in the wheel house. Below decks they found the rest of the crew. Some were aslecp, some were in their bunks nursing broken bones and some were in their bunks nurs- ing black eyes. The captain was found locked in his cabin, with twelve rifies and stx revolvers beside his bunk. He ex- plained’ that his ship is a 964 ton, oil burning vessel of Norwegian registry, had left Antwerp for St. Pierre with a derelict crew and 100,- 000 cases of assorted liquor. Only 43,000 cases remained. In the ship's safe customs men found $26,000 in American money. The crew had made free with the liquor, and before they were one day out, the fighting began. Brawls con- tinued all the way over reaching a climax after the vessel anchored in Rum Row. The night they arrived, the crew indulged in a drinking orgy, three men received broken jaws, one had his leg broken, two received broken |arms and a score had their eyes | blackened, he told the customs men. He retired to his cabin to wait for | the storm to subside. | While the captain was telling his story to Capt. Blake, the other cus- toms men had driven the crew be- low the decks and made fast the hatches, The Sagatind was then tow- ed inside Sandy Hook where a guara was placed over her to await the de- cision of officials as to her disposi- tion. Valuable Speedboat Destroyed by Flames Southport, Conn, Oct. 13.—The |“Pickaninny,” a 35-foot express speedboat, valued at $10,000, belong- ing to Witherbee Black of this place, was destroyed by fire late yesterday afternoon and sank to the bottom of the Southport harbor. — COLOR IT NEW WITH “DIAMOND DYES” Beautiful home dye- ing and tinting is guaranteed with | Diamond Dyes.
