Ferris The "Fiery Cross" is recruiting members in the shore communities. Agents of the Ku Klux Klan, according to reports, are approaching Influential people along the Jersey shore using all the arguments and persuasions at their command to get members for this organization, A peculiar fact of the K. K.

K. campaign is that the Asbury Park clergymen seem to have been about the first to be approached on the subject of Joining the organization. Kleaglea of the order have sent them preliminary literature on the subject. As far us can be learned none of the clergymen, have joined the order. One of the pieces of literature is a black booklet, on the front cover of which is a mounted K.

Klansman, white, against the black background. The figure bears a fiery cross and under it is the caption "The 'Fiery' Summons." At the top is the legend, "The Ku Klux Klan" and directly beneath it, "Yesterday, Today and For-ever." At the bottom is says "By William Joseph Simmons, Imperial Wizard." Tho Inside of the pamphlet tells how the order of the K. K. K. 1A10 to be revived and extolls at length that "only native-born white American citizens, who believe in the tenets of the Christian religion and who owe no allegiance of any degree or nature to any foreign government or institution, religious or political, or to any sect, people or persons, are eligible for membership." The gist of the information contain.

cd in tho pamphlet is to the effect President Hetrick has outlined for the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce for Its new year's work a program of 15 points calling for active committee work on the part of members toward upbuilding of varied interests of the city. Submitted to the directors of the board, the program vas adopted as a comprehensive scheme of civic work. While Mr. Hetrick will be more or less identified with each committee, he I especially asked for particular responsibility In working with a committee designed to the problem of new hotels. The board of directors is to work with the president In selecting the personnel of the committees.

The program also Invites especial ly the cooperation of the Women's club, the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, the Child Welfare association and the Asbury Park Motor Dealer's as-soclatlon, Mr. Hetrick's program fol lows: The Winter's Program. Asbury Park Is the report, rea- tlonal and business renter the north Jersey court. Its function in lha life of the world Is to entertain and provide clean and healthful recreation for hunts of peo pie from all parts, and it l.i therefore a city of international t.ince. In the opinion of local and business men Asbury Pn; in 192 has enjoyed its best year.

The volume of business done is in dcxed by the totnl deposits In the banking institutions of the city; and these deposits, exceeding in amount fourteen millions of dollars, are greater by one million dollars than the bank deposits of a year previous. But Asbury Park cannot rest on this ecord. It must go forward and ever forward with greater and increasing service each day to the people of the world it serves. To do this the Chamber of Com merce as a civic body charged with the duty of civic progress must lead the Way and plan the fight for a continued greater service that Asbury rark may reap the harvest of greater business and greater city prosperity AS preswenc or tne unamDer 01 Commerce, I have therefore called you together in order that I may make you certain working suggestions which you may approve or disapprove, and to receive from, you and the membership of the Chamber of Commerce such Ideas that if coordi nated and put into effect will secure belter and bigger results, There is much to be done and the work can only be accomplished by whole hearted and unselfish co-operation on the part of every business man and every citizen aided by all civic organizations having the prosperity and welfare of Asbury Park at heart. By such coordination and driving force success will be assured and Asbury Park by reason thereof, and by reason of its geographical location and its beautiful natural advantages, will be the greatest all year resort and recreational city in America.

Committee Plan, To accomplish -this and to organize and plan the work properly it is necessary that every man do his part and in order that this may be, I recommend that the following committee plan of organization be adopted for Chamber of Commerce work: A committee on civic improve EARLY FALL BRIDE Becomes Wife of H.

The boardwalk is looking up. Last winter a Ford used it to come over from Ocean Grove. Monday a Dodge sedan with a Massachusetts license, containing two men and a woman, ambled up on the "boardwalk and performed even more peculiar stunts. The sedan in question came down Asbury avenue from KIngsley street.

When it reached Ocean avenue it did not turn. It went right up on the boardwalk, rounded the soda water stand and proceeded north to the flsh-Jng pier where it turned to the right and stopped at the Information bureau. All this at 2 o'clock In the afternoon. At the information bureau one of the men got out and asked for a list of the hotels. He was given a list and told to take the machine oft the wooden way or he was likely to be "pinched," He went.

The peculiar part of it was that he went right back the way he came, on the boardwalk as far as the Ca-eino and thence to Ocean avenue. He was not molested during the entire tour.

Grand Chief Arthur Q.

White of of Asbury Park in his accustomed place. Representatives and other past chiefs from nearly all the local castles of the state will be in attendance. Considerable important business is to come before the session, including tho matter of revision of the laws, and it la expected that the yearly effort to provide for meeting in different places throughout the state instead of having Trenton fixed as the permanent place will again come before the body In one form or another. It is the election of officers, however, which will create the most interest. Grand Vice Chief Guy W.

Meade of Florence, a World war man, is In line for successlno to the grand chief's post, with Grand Sir Herald George W. S. Bolles of Vineland In line to become grand vice chief. 'There is a movement on foot, however, coming out of North Jersey, to reelect White as grand chief for another year. This may or may not succeed.

It has always been the custom to promote the officers annually. White has proved himself a very active and earnest grand chief and has the universal esteem of his fellow sir knights. For positions down the line various names are suggested, among them those of Past Chiefs Paulson ot Atlantic City, and Burkhardt and Sehmclzelsen of Trenton. A very pretty contest appears to be developing, which may, It Is said, bring a surprise. The newly elected officers will be Installed by the national head of the order, Supreme Chief Sidney J.

The murder complaint was sworn to Monday by Mrs. Bambina Del-mont, a close friend of Miss Rappe. The grand jury indictment came after two sessions, each lasting many hours.

What is your religious faith? Do you owa any kind of allegiance to any foreign nation, gov ernment, institution, sect, people Tuler or person These are just a few of the questions asked the pros pectiv membe. of the K. K. Klan.

The Ku Klux Klan of today is supposed to be a revival of the old K. K. K. of Reconstruction days in th south following the Civil war, when, northern carpetbaggers nearly ruined the southland and when it became necessary for those who saw tha ruin ahead to band together as a secret organization for the elimination oC. the carpetbaggers and what they stood for.

In fact the last page of the present Klan's black boik contains two comments on th old Klan, and its apparently mer.ltjrIous work in the south during thr4 hectic period following ths Civil vfdr. One is an extract from "Seerr political societies in the south during the period of written by Walter Henry Cool', of the Western Reserve universi Cleveland, Ohio. Tha extract "The Ku Klux accomplished 'much. From a political viewpoint it secured home rule for several Of the southern states. It ended t'ae disgraceful rule of the carpetbaggers therein, and it helped to reea'ablish honest and efficient gov- cr.imental inilitutions.

From a social der out of cnaus." The other it a quotation from the "History of the American People." written by Woodrow Wilson, ex-pres ident of the Unite States. He say that "Adventurers swarmed out ot the north as much the enemies of ona race as of th other to cozen, and use the negroes The white men were roused by a mere instinct, ot eclt preservation until at lascj there had sprung Into existence a. great Ku Klus Klan, a vcrtiable em-; pire of the routh, to protect tha' southern country." Tho original Ku Klux Klan, in itself, was supposed to be based on the old clans of the heather country. Their usages were the- mitr.e and even their emblem, the fiery cross, was Identical. As among the Scotch, the- tje-arer of a fiery cross passing thru village meant the immediate gathering of the clan fjr whatever work might be at band.

Just who at the head of the Klan's work in this lo- caiity is unknown. There are aev- etal strungers In town ivho came co-incidently wi'h the quickening of interest in tht Klan and soon after they arrived the citizens of Asbury Park began to be approached, in subtle and deviour ways, as prospects for membership in the Klan. The first to be approached were the clergymen of tht Twin Cities and then some of the municipal authorities were sounded on the possibility ot their joining the order. Whether or not these men Joined Is unknown, for those that know anything at all about i section lt is thought that the organization work in this section Is not only in the hands of local men but is also in the hands of a corps of organizers from the state headquarters. It seems that tiey are doing the job thoroly, whoever they are, and their activities have gotten the whole shore section talking about the merits and disadvantages of membership in the Klan.

Some claim that the outrages which have been committed thruout the country are really the work of the K. K. K. while others defend it hotly, with the opinion that it can't be proved that It was really the Klan behind them. Haynes' Greatest Offering.
