H. Bell, district kleagle for New Jersey, was called to the platform where he unmasked and was introduced as a spokesman for the Klan. Belt in describing the Klan'a policy and the motives upon which It is based, denied that the K. K. K.

is anti-Jew, negro, or Catholic and declared that the public opinion which branded them as tar and feather specialists was the result of notorious abuses on the' part of the press. The Klan, he declared, ha done much to help these classes, but does not admit them to membership because it is a pro-Protestant and American organization. Ideals which he declared were not properly supported by these racial and religious groups. Bell was applauded at the finish of his address and Dr. David A.

Mac- EY Real Estate Firm Announces Opposition and May Go to Courts. COMES UP FOR FINAL ACTION TOMORROW Under spasmodic fire, both on the grounds that it is too stringent and that it is not strict enough, tha proposed Bradley Beach zoning ordinance will come before the board of commissioners for final action tomor row night. In the meantime, backed by the majority of the boro residents, the officials of Bradley Beach expect that the resolution will go thru and that it will hold water in the courts. If the legal opinion to be rendered fie commissioners at their session is favorable, there is little doubt but that the proposed code will become an ordinance. The chief opponent to the act Is the H.

and B. Realty company, represented in Bradley Beach by John A. Boehme, a boro real estate dealer. The corporation is fighting for what their consider their rights and have announced that they hold legal opinions showing the proposed ordinance is unconstitutional and that they have retained a legal firm to fight the act if It is put across. The commissioners do not appear greatly worried over the legality of the act.

altho rather than take unnecessary chances of bearing the costs of a law suit, they have ordered the boro solic itor to render an opinion at the session tomorrow night. Ward Kremcr, the boro counsel, stated that the ordinance had been drawn up in accordance with the state zoning law and that if the state act was legal the boro ordinance would stand in (he courts. However, the result of his further search into the question will not be known definitely until the commissioners meet. The theory that the act is discriminatory and would force upon the northern part of the boro the objectionable businesses and "shanties" la not taken seriously by those In touch with the situation. The act limits the business ventures permissible in the boro to Main street and those sections of the town already developed in that line.

Both such centers are in the northern part of the boro, one at Newark and Central avenues and the other at Newark and Ocean avenues, but the proposed ordinance would not allow their expansion from those spots. The reason that in the northern part of the boro the houses would be limited to one buildliiglo every 2o feet of frontage on the lots, the officials declared, Is because that part of the boro, not part of the original James A. Bradley holdings, Is el- ready divided largely into plots that size. The restriction to one housa on each 50 feet of frontage on Biinity avenue and south was made because the present development of that motion of the town was primarily on 50-foot lots, it was stated. John A.

Boehme in presenting the case of the realty company declared that he was in back of any act was for the benefit of the boro, but declared that the proposed zoning ordinance apparently was unconstitutional and was poorly planned. The realty company is fighting the ordinance because it had bought land at the comer of Ocean and La-Reine avenue, opposite the La Reine hotel, with the intention of building a group of five stores, one of which would be a druggists establishment. The stores were to be in one group, (Contlmied on Page Two) TO FIGHT BRADL ZONE ORDNANC ii Modernization Plans Must Be Carried Out If We Are to Maintain Position. $30,000,000 IS ASKED, $7,676,000 FOR AVIATION WASHINGTON. Dec.

10. A appropriation to carry out the much-controverted program of fleet modernization authorization for the building of eight cruisers, three cruiser-type submarines, and six gunboats: expenditure of on naval bases, and a five-year constructive naval aviation program, were recommended today by Secretary Denby in his annual report. The modernization plans held in abeyance during the past year must be carried out, the secretary said, if the United States is to maintain its proper place under the arms treaty, while In cruiser strength this country has fallen so far behind Great Britain that It cannot hope for years to come to attain the equality it is entitled to under the 5-5-3 naval ratio. The $30,000,000 sought for modernization work would include the re-appropriation of $6,500,000 "for the purpose of increasing the elevation of turret guns of 13 of the treaty battleships of the navy" which was not used during the past year because, Mr. Denby said, "quite unintentionally the impression given congress was that the disparity In ranges was overwhelmingly in favor of the British." "In the opinion of the department" the secretary declared, "the elevation of the guns will not In any way contravene the spirit or letter of the treaty." Mr.

Denby appended to his report a special report signed by Capt. F. H. Schofield of the navy general board analyzing in detail the objections which had been raised to the change in elevation, with the conclusion that these were wholly unsupported by any fair interpretation of the treaty. Capt.

Schofield listed five "steps" as necessary in the physical alteration of a turret to permit the higher elevation, namely: Increasing size of gun opening; lengthening the gun screw which raises and Jowers the breech; changing position ammunition hoists; increasing strength of counter-recoil system; cutting away plates under breech. In none of these steps, it was declared, was there involved any "alteration in the general type of mounting" which constituted the sole prohibition in the treaty affecting the program. "The public is very generally under the impression," Cnpt. Schofield continued, "that the British admiralty has stated officially that by their Interpretation of the treaty It would be Illegal for us to change the elevations as proposed. No such conten-tention has even been put forward by the British admiralty, British government, or by any other official In any government signatory to the treaty.

"The general intent of the treaty was to grant to each power full right to keep step with material and scientific program, subject only to specific limitations. Nowhere is there to be found a 'spirit' of the treaty which contravenes this right." In addition to elevation of the main turrets, the department's program includes, the installation of deck Bheathing as an. additional defense against air attack; adding of "blis-(Continued on Page Two third, where tha boy er girl has been a wage-earner, the mother dislikea aharing her accustomed income with another.

At Albany the first of the three sections of the train experienced engine trouble and the second section was ordered to go on. The first and third pulled out 15 minutes late, train crewa said.

Stops To Aid Auteist Near Forsyth, the second section, now leading, plowed thru an automobile, which had stalled on the grade crossing, whose occupants three Pittsburgh men, W. Stratt-ford, C. H. Harney and B. Maier, had Jumped to safety.

As the next section pulled past the scene of the smashup Us crew noticed the flaming automobile and brought the train to a etop to see It help could ba rendered any of the occupants of the automobile. While the train was stopped the third section came thundering on thru the blinding rain and heavy fog. The red Warning flares and a brake-men frantically waving his lantern a train length away were noticed too late by Engineer Charles Patterson of Cleveland who was piloting the onrushlng engine. The brakes were applied and the track sanded but the terrific momentum carried the limited on thru the rear car of the standing train with such force that It overturned two other Pullman sleepers. Their steel construction alone raved the lives of their occupants, railroad officials said.

Jolted out of their berths by the impact, pasengers of both trains bent to the work of extricating the dead and injured from the fated, sleeper. Soon these forces were aided by farmers from the nearby countryside who for a time with their lanterns supplied the only light there was. In a statement to newspaper men, Engineer Patterson salJ had noticed the yellow warning signals along the block and had accordingly cut his speed to 55 to 60 rr.IIes an hour. The red flares, discernible a limited distance away because of fog, did not give him time to avert the collision he said. He estimated his train was making 20 miles an hour when It struck the section in front of it.

In sections where poverty, or near to It. is most pronounced.

Coal dealers are virtually absolved by the report, store klepers purchasing the coal in ton lots, from the dealers, bagging it and releasing It to market. Following is the Weights and Measures reports, with statistics showing to what extent those of Insufficient means to purchase In larger quantities are gouged for fuel: "During the past year the Weights and Measurers department has been investigating the sale of coal in small quantities, a situation existing in quarters where people lack means of purchasing by the1 ton or half ton. The facta disclosed by the investigation show a condition which works a hardship on those least able to afford the unwarranted prices, and by publicity or other means the condition should be remedied. Dealers Absolved. "The only place found In Monmouth county where the practise was in vogue, was the west side In Asbury Park.

Coal is evidently purchased from the coal dealer at prevailing prices, by store keepers in ton lots or more. The coal is then put up In small paper bags for sale to customers, and previous to last spring no restrictions of any kind were in effect. The Weights and Measurers department last February made a ruling that the amount of coal In pounds should be printed or stamped on the bags with the name of the firm or individual who was offering it for sale.

Coming in automobiles to the church and robing- in the basement of the building the Klanamen and the members of the two auxiliaries marched into the auditorium after the services had started and filed down the aisles to the front sections which had been reserved for them. That they were coming was appar ently better known outside the membership of the church than within. for there were probably 400 unrobed men, women and children packed Into the building when the service started who were strangers to the members of the church. Many en tire families, with the exception of the men folk, were noticed and the larger part of them were Asbury Park, Ocean Grove and Belmar resi dents.

The service last night In the Baptist church was a special one and under the direction of the men. The first inkling many of the church members had of the scheduled appearance of the Klansmen was when they noticed the men, members of the church, who stood guard at the head of the stairway leading to the church dining in the basement. Actual count revealed that there were 74 members of the Ku Klux Klan proper In robes, 41 lady knights and 20 Royal Riders. The hooded visitors marched into the church to the tune of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," the second hymn sung, and took their places in the front of the church, which had been decorated with American flags.

PARKING TO HALF HOUR Ruling In Effect Between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. May Solve Traffic Problem.

Marked results in securing a solution to the Mattison avenue traffic problem, made acute by the temporary closing two weeks ago. of Cook-man avenue, has developed from the department of public Safety's action in limiting parking of automobile on that thorofare to 30 minutes, between the hours of 7 a and 7. p. Commissioner Thomas Winckler said this morning. While the parking restrictions are not being rigidly enforced, long-time parking has been cut' dowq nearly one-half.

The police department ha not served summons on any driver who has violated the ruling, and probably won't. At present the regulation is more of a request than anything else, with motorists in the position of being to cooperate with city authorities In the solution of a perplexing problem. Commissioner Winckler said that the regulation would be Indefinitely in vogue, good results being looked for next summer when down town congestion is at its height. 831 AUTO PLATES ISSUED THUS FAR Issues of license plates and drivers' licenses for the new year Is slightly ahead of the lssu at this time in 1922, it was aald at the office of the motor registrar here this morning.

VP), Ballasted by a ton of gold, over hich swarthy soldiera stood fuard day and night, the steamship American Legion arrived today with its precious treasure of $5,000,000 in bullion from Buenos Aires. It is the first gold legally to bo exported from Argentina since the wartime embargo and, according to Munson Line officials, the largest consignment ever to pass between the two continents. The gold. In 20 oaken chests bound with metal and sealed, was shipped here by the Argentina National bank for deposit against London drafts to pay the coupons on part of the Argentina external debt. Since the debt is payable In sterling, the' gold probably will be exchanged for British pounds, after'wlUch it will go into storage to remain intll It is minted or rejoins the stream of bullion constantly flowing between the United States and foreign countries.

Because of' the difference in the rates of exchange the government of Argentina expects to pro.fit to tha extent of about 8,500,000 paper pesos in New York when tha gold is exchanged for pounds sterling. Handling large shipments of gold and silver bullion has become commonplace with trana-Atlantic steamship companies and the is handled as so much "merchandise." But the shipment of a few millions from a South American country becomes a national event, and the steamship chosen for its transport is freighted with responsibility. The removal of the $5,000,000 from the Argentina National bank to the ship was attended by the greatest of precaution. It was rushed thru the streets of Buenos Aires accompanied by guards armed with pistols, rifles and swords and hustled into the burglar-proof vaults of the American Legion. The precious cargo was under strict watch thruout the voyage.

Upon arrival here similar precautions were taken, the regular police being augmented by armed guards while the armored trucks that carried the gold to a government sub-treasury were protected by armed men. Handling gold has become so common with the largest trans-Atlantic steamship companies and the agents of the lines and even the dockmen have become blase about handling millions of the metal. The process of loading, storing and unloading gold in International shipments has become sd 'systematized that the factors of responsibility and risk are considered hardly more than in the transportation of a box of toys. An official of the International Mercantile Marine explained that the companies feel perfectly at ease when the gold is placed in a ship's vault. In transporting the gold to and from ships guards are usually provided by the consignor and consignee.

10. Mothers-in-law break up more homes than any other influence in present day American, life, officials of the Legal Aid society, today asserted. The traditional mother-in-law joke, they said, was fully justified by tha records of the organization's 47 years of service to New York's poor. "Mothers-in-law are responsible for most of tha thousands of domestic-difficulty cases which have come to tha legal aid society in recent years," Leonard McGee, attorney for the society, said yesterday. "There are three reasons for this mothar-in-law complex, according to our statistics: First-, no mother thinks any other woman's child ia good enough for her own; aeeond, a mother frequently sees in the marriage of her child the thwarting of her own plans and ambitions, and Village Grocery and Dry Gooda Store.
