It was reported the orchestra took the edge off the pnlemnity of the Klan Initia tion by tending up strains of "Ain't We Got Fun? ' and other popular tire. About seventy-five men took part in the hooded and mnskl ceremony, com ing from many towns in Jersey, includ ing Newark, the Oranges. llionmfichl ad, an far south as Perth Amboy. tiotne time ngo Dr. Orvllle Cheatham, Ring Klengle, claimed to have organ lied fifty Maim in New Jersey, hut he hu never told their location.

"Your Itsub" Is the phrase used just before the name nnd title of the leader. As some might think 'Itsub stood for 'In tensive terrorism, speed up busi ness," It must be explained thnt the cryptic word merely Is an nbbre viatlon for "In the sacred, unfailing bond."

Thanks to n helping hand always ex tended, she hns found a home in tho iity or Houston (Texas headquarters of Jim Klan) under the Hag of the Salva tion Army." tividence of n possible similar scheme to give the apparent indorsement of the American Legion to the Ku Klux Klnn appeared in St. Augustine, Fin., where, on I.nbor Day, under the auspices of tho local post of tho Legion, nnd to raise funds for it, there was a showing of tho moving picture, "The Fncc at Your Window." The "face." which gives the title to this feature film is the fnce of Holshc vism nt the window of the Tnlted States, and the' picture shows an at tempted overthrow of the country, with terrible atrocities, prevented by hun dreds of members of the American Le gion, In the garb by the Ku Klux Klan. Movlo Glnriflcs Klnn "Hy the picture," comments n letter sent from St. Augustine, "the Klan is glorified, and every one goes away with the impression that the Legion niul the Klan are alliliated. especially when, as in this case, tin- film is exhibited with the npprovnl of, and for the benefit of n local post." Direct evidence that organizers of the Ku Klux Klan, Inc., recognized thH same film as useful propagation mate rial in their commission-basis drive fur members, has also been uncovered and la presented photographically today. It is n letter, dated May 21. IOL'1. from King Klengle J. M. McArthur, of Tennessee, nnd runs ns follows: "Have just had a wire that the Fox Film Company is sending, their Slate representative here to see hie this week nnd arrange for the sdiowing of tho pic ture.

"This ri n wonderful picture: and while the Klan has nothing to do with it, we realize its wonderful value to us from th fact that it portrays very vividly the conditions of today nnd the Klan,' mounted, Is brought in at the climax nnd, believe me, it is some climax. "Please let me know Immediately whom you wish this picture shown In jour territory, anil if there nre any particular dates, such as the Shrine meeting at Klngsport, on which jou want it in any of your towns.

If "the system ' is working, would be Hiked by their hosts to "sign here." An Invest izntor, who, as nnrt of this Inquiry, iniide several long tripd through the South, repprted: "Ku Klux Klnn activities In South Cnrnllnn, (ieorgia and other Southern Slates have often caused serious racial friction and xu.-plcloii where none had existed before. Spread Fear of "Uprising" "A trick of organizer has been to circulate reports that the Negroes were preparing for 1111 'uprising against the whites. "At Hnrtwell, fin., a Ku Klux or ganizer told an exciting title of a threatening race riot In Atlanta. Speaking to n large audience, ho said Negroes had made clctnnnds on the au thorities for certain favors to members of their nice and that when tho ile mntids were refused the Negroes had threatened to enforre their wishes. "The situation, ho dedans.!, became so bad thnt the Mayor of Atlanta and the Governor of Ocorgln confessed in ability to cope with it nnd called in the Ku Klux Klnn, who took charge und saved the day." The rest of the story Is told In n let ter written August 10 by Hugh M. Dorscy, of Atlanta, Governor of Geor gia up to June 1. "Your correspondent's report Is cor recK An nrgnnlzer for the Klnn by the nnme of Nolan (Colonel .7. Q. Nolan, of Imperial Klengle Clarke's headquarters staff) did make thosu statements In 11 speech nt Hnrtwell, Oa., Inst winter. Home one nt Hnrtwell, I think a preacher, wrote me nnd asked me if it tvns true. I wrote him there wasn't a word of truth in it, so far as 1 wns concerned. Ue Nailed by Governor "Nolan went from Hnrtwell to Liv onia, and at Livonia repeated tho state ments made nt Hnrtwell, statements he had made. 1 understand, on several oc casions In different sections of ' the State. The Llvonln people had my letter to the Hnrtwell minister.

An original method of uncovering "prospects" was devised by Cnptnln Henry I'. Fry, .in Fast Tennessee, where ho was working till he aaw whnt Ku Kluxlsm mennt, gave up his com- mission ns n Klengle. and cvcntun'ly ' iclgnetl from tho order, repudiating Its oath nnd lti secrecy. Captain Fry, from tho outset, do- I dined to "cnnvnss" or iiersonnlly so- 1 licit prospective members, believing thnt each locnl Klan bhoulu decide on the innke-uii of Its membership, and I issue the Invitations to join. In ench 'provisional Klan, ns he obligated and organized It, he formed n memeorsnip committee to take over the work of in creasing Its numbers.

It will be remembered thnt the mys- 'tic word "KOTOl"' -Interpreted ns 1 "Knights of the Open Palm" Is printed on the little red membership button of the order. It wns also, until I recently, In general use in Ku Klux circles as a recognition word among Klnnsmen unacquainted with each other.
