KU KLUX KLAN METHODS
STARTLING ALLEGATIONS FLOGGING OF JEWISH SALESMEN Pwss Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, April 11. (Received April 12, at 9.45 a.m.) A message from Pittsburgh states that further light was thrown on alleged Klan methods when witnesses testified that the organisation possessed a secret society whose object was to obtain information regarding all manner of public officials which might be used to control them if needed. It also transpired that one member of the Klan obtained admission to the Chicago Eucharistic Congress by passing as a priest in order to obtain data for inflammatory anti-Catholic speeches. E. Lanham testified that he saw Klansmen capture two New York Jewish salesmen at Oklahoma. '* They forced one to whip the other, and when they did not apply enough blows to each other with the long whips members of the Klan joined in the flogging. The Klansmen called this ‘ lapjncking.’ ” —Australian Press Association.
