PXF K Y GflBergcsville; Otsego Count EFFORT TO CURB KLAN Senate Leader Walker Asks Legislature to Tear Hood From K. K. Activities, Albany.- The inner shrines of the scores - of \secret\ ~organizations throughout the state will be turned inside out and held up to public view if a bill almed at the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, introduced in the Sen- ate by Majority Leader 'James, J. Walker, is adopted in its present form. . > - , The Klan, the Masons, Knights of Golumbus, Elks, Moose, Red Men. Mound Builders,; Druids,; Odd Fellows, | and all similar organtzations are. in- cluded under the bill's provisions. Not eyen the Leagus, which \has been continuously under fire for some time, would be exempt. ' 'The real purpose of the pill, how- ever, is to tear the hood from the Ku ~K1an's activities in this state all voils of secrecy. 'To arrive at this objective, It prob- ably will be necessary to amend the measure to some extent. The Walker bill would add a new article to the civil rights law, re- quiring all memborship corporations and unincorporated associations with @ membership of more than twenty, to file with the secretarymof state a eworn copy of the constitution, oath, fmembership HMetagnd officers. Also, the organizations would be compelled to file with the of state within ten days after their adoption, a copy of every resolution of minutes providing for concerted action to promote or defeat legisla- tlon or support or defeat any candi date for any political office. Anonymous - communication would be prohibited. Inesmuch as it is not the Intention o fthe measure to Include within Its terms any organization other than the Ku Klux Klan, it is probable that it will be amended to that effect. \Tm not going to take an arbitrary stand on this matter,\ Senator. Walkor *said. \I'm perfectly willing. to have a hearing on this bill, and there in the open let the different organizations tell their objections to the measure. I haven't any doubt that the bill in its present form affects many ossocia« tlons and orders, apd I'm just as eager to cure any defects in the bill as far as they are concerned, as I am to cure the evil at which this bill is aimed. - Within the next fow weeks a hear Ing will be set on the monsure, at which representatives of all organiza- tions which believe they would be at fected by the measure will be given an opportunity to volce their objec- tions. A great deal of Interest over the event has been aroused already at the prospect of geelng a few Kleagles, with possibly g Grand Cyclops or two, or even a Wizard, on hand to {ght for the secrecy of the \Invigible Em+ pire.\ . While half a dozen other bills almed at the'activities of the Ku Klux Klan have been presented to the legilalh- ture, the Walker bill by far the most drastlc and has the sharpest teeth. It is a measure advocated by the Now York World and was drawn by the two most expert framers of legislation in the state, Robert C. Cumming and Wiliam F. McCormick. The provisions of the measure have been made fronclad, that there might be no possible loophole left in the pro- posed anti-klan law. 'To effect this purpose, the measure was drawn so tight that it is firmly believed by Senator Walker that it includes every membership corporation and unincor- porated association within the state. What restrictions It might Impose on them, however, are proposed to be re- moved through amendments after the various associations at which the measure is not aimed have volced their objections. Within thirty days after the enact ment of the bill, all organizations af- {acted by it would be required to fur- nish their membership list, with ad- dreases,~their constitution, oath, by- laws and other lhfonuatlon‘ If the constitution or bylaws should be re- vised, coples of the revised documents fould have to be filed with the secret: tary of state within five days. A thirty-day period would be allowed to peport changes In officers. In order to keep current records of new members, the klan would be re- quired to submit at thirty days Inter~ vals the names and addresses of all sdditional members, which would be made a part of the klan's original roster on the records of the secre- tary of state. , The sending of communications, signed only with the \K. K. K.\ would be made unlawful unless sent to a member. Any communication by the kien would have to be signed, or else bear the names of the officers, with thotp.addresses. Violation of the proposed law would be made a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine ranging from $1,000 to $10, 090. Guilt would be made personal, because amy officer who permitted or mcquiesced in a violstton of the pro- posed law could be punished, as wall as any member of the klan who con- tinued to attend meetings, that the organization had falled to comply with the law, The introduction of the measure at tracted wide interest because of the fact that Senator Walkeg, as pres dent pro tem of the senate, is the Girect representative of Governor Bmith in the legislature, and therefore Abe most Important legisiator in either house. - \H there is anything io the bill which interferes unduly with any te gitimate fraternal organisation, I want g} hear from ifs cers,\ Senator aiker declared.\ \If the Kian doesn't relish the measare, lot its oftcers, with their high-sounding titles, come to the Capitol when we have a hearing on the MHI and pub Kel proclaim wherein it works an in- to the Kian. _ terests of Amer a wed & cm and Amsericaniem,\ Berator Walker said. \It is Alrected solely and exflcrively at the Eu Kizt Kian H If Is passed and mafe & law, It wil fhe Klan sa al present constituted, or compel a revision of {is comstitafich, tyisws, carts, parposes ectivifies doch as wT make It an coganfentn ft for Cécent mek to Jota\ giinounte the date fora Héaring next week. R * -* 'To Force Wet Vote the present legislative-soe- ston, it became apparent that only by retaining perfect control of their party members in both houses could the Republican and Democtat leaders pre- vent the qu'esglon of anti-prohibition leglslation from becoming a nfore troll-Mews, anoying and angerous issue than it was. 'That they havs not been successful in keeping the,required order in the ranks became known when Assembly- man Louls A. Cuvillier, who repre ments and was propated to battle-to the ond Percy Nagel's district in Har- lem, let it be known that, regardless of the stand of the party chifs on the wet-dry issue ho had leaped the fences of the Democratic reservation in the lower House for various pleces of drastle wet legislation which he has introduced. 'These include the bills repealing the Mullan-Gage law. Mr. CuvilHer's form of battling will consist of making motions to \die charge the committces wherein his bills now le sleeping from further consideration of them. Whether he is successful or not in having his bills brought to the floor of the house for discussion, he will certainly ombarras the chiefs of the Democfftylo and \Re- publican parties, who are one In wish ing that the bills, which they regard as hefvily charged with trouble, be allowed to dis in committee, \A vote against my motions to dis- @harge,\ explained Mr. Cuyillier to- day, \will be a dry vote, and as such will stand on the record, A vote for it will at least mark a step in the di rection that the vote last fall indi cated.\ Which makes it easily apparent why the Democrats, who would would much prefer to sthnd on the Adminis- tration and party platform of passing nothing more drastic then a memorial to Congress, and would rather Mr. Cuvillier would play in their yard and let his measures die. 'The Republi cans, on the other hand, are no more desirous of being forced to declare 'themsolves on the issue. On March 5, Mr. Cuyilier let it be known he will serve notice that he will move to discharge the Assombly Fxcisg_ Committee from further con sideration of his three bills repealing the Mullan-Gage law. These are the most sweeping bills almed at the state prohibition enforcement law that have been introduced at this session. Tho 'Cuvillior measures would remove all of the law, including the section which provides for recovery of damages for injuries catised by poisonous liquor which has been obtained through pur. chase or as a gift. The bills Introduced by Senator Dunnigan and Assemblyman F. A. Miller would frot repeal the act in its entirety, but only those sections of It dealing with criminal prosecution. Mr. Cuyillier further plans to drag the wet-dry issue the House by meking for a public hearing on his bill, which would rescind the ratifica- tlon by this state of the Eighteenth Amendment. And this, when the law. ,makers had fervontly hoped that the sharing on the Mullan-Gage repeal bills on Wednosday marked the end of such public discussions of wet legislation for mammy years to come. Bo far as his resolution calling for a legislative Investigation of William 4. Anderson. and his administrA{on of the affairs of the Antl-Saloon League is concerned, Mr. Cuviliier will take no action until after March L | He says: \By that time,\ said the Assemvfy- man, \Assistant District Attorney Po- cora will have had ample opportunity to complete his Investigation of Ander. gon, and perbaps obtain IndictmentB4 It Anderson has not been indicted by then, I shall move to discharge the Assembly Ways and Means Commit tee from further conalderation of my bill calling for a legislative Investiga- tion.\ Water Bill to Wait Although the delay in the Introduc- tlon of water powor legislation to carry out the governor's Ideas In that respect gave rise recently to a report that Govertor Smith had found the problem such a tough one that he planned to turn it over to a commis. glon for Investigation, the governor scoffed at such a rumor today. The bill carrying out his program for water power development will ba introduced late in the session, but It is certain to go in before the leglsia ture adjourns this year. HAD TO MAKE FULL ROUND Clergyman Who Wanted to Test Vir- tues of the Treadmiil Given Full Opportunity. A Britisher tells a story of a mem- ber of the clergy who took too large a mouthful on one occasion. * He was visiting the county jail And\ explated to a friend who was with him on the virtues of the tregdmill Warming up with his theme, he de clared that be often wished he had dne at home to give him the gentle exer- cise be required, and to remove his friend's skepticism, be asked the warden to give him a turn. Round went the wheel. the clergymat declaring that the movement was de lightful; but after two minutes he had had enough and desired the officer to stop the mill To his horror the of- cer answered: . \Very sorry, sir, but I can't It's timed to go 15 minutes and won't stop.\ Moon Abrofutely Without Water.

F. Warren, These figures show that during the past twelve months 34,000 men and boys left the farms of New York state to work in towns and cities, and only one fourth as many left tip cities to work on the farms. These estimates are based upon reports from nearly 4,000 typical New York state farms obtained in cooperation with J, B. Shepard, representing the New York State Department of Farms and Mar- kets and the ~U. S. Department of Agriculture. Between Febroary 1, a year ago and February 1 this year, the estimated number of people on the farms of this atate decreased from 794,000 to 762,000 or 4 per cent, a rate of movement which has been exceeded only once in recent years und that was in 1917. There are now about two thirds as flany people living on the farms of this state as there were in 1840 Architect Expects Big Fee. About four years ago when the sub- ject.of erecting a new school building for Sidney was being agitated, a pen- cil sketch of a school building was furnished by Orlo Epps, an architect of Oneonta, and this sketch was on display at the store of Carr & Hare for u time, but as the matter of build- ing wasgiropped, the architect's plan was thrown into the waste basket, The other day Mr. Epps presented a bill for his services in getting up his pencil sketch for $1,200, Secretary France of the board of education at fonce got busy and made a thorough examination of <the minutes of the board meetings and could not find any- thing in them authorizing the selection of Mr. Eppe as an architect for the talked-of building. ~ Well Paid Teachers.
