Pastor Blames Department for
Failure to Break . Up
Irish Gathering.
(Bv Chicago Tribune Leased 'Wire.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 3. Four New
York ministers in sermons tonight
attacked the Ku Klux Klan which
has begun a drive for members in
New York city under the direction of
the Rev. Dr. Oscar Haywood, im
perial klokard, or national lecturer.
In his sermon on "Green Sectarian
ism, Yellow Journalism and Black
guardism," the Rev. Ir. John Roach
Straton at Calvary Baptist church
paid his respects to Mayor Hylan
and Police Commissioner Enright
and asserted that the police depart
ment is "suffering from incompetent,
if not venal leadership." The mayor
recently ordered Commissioner En
right to investigate reports that
Calvary church was a "nest" of the
masked order.
Investigation Is Invited.
"I think 1 could help the mayor
by prayer and fraternal counsel if
he should come to me." said Dr.
Straton, "and I might be used by
the Lord even to help brother En
right. But I hope the mayor will
be as successful in his investiga
tion of me as I was two years ago
when my exposure of immorality
and corruption resulted in the con
viction of a high police official."
He criticized the police depart
ment for its failure to disperse an
overflow meeting of Irish sympa
thizers in Seventh avenue last Sun
day night following a riot, and
asked Commissioner Enright to
grant him an interview.
"If I were police commissioner I
would start the entire force out
each day with a prayer meeting,"
he said.
Klan Sympathy Denied.
Dr. S':raton denied that klan liter
ature was ever distributed in Cal
vary church and that he was in
sympathy with the movement. There
are good men in the Ku Klux Klan,
he conceded. "Their ideals," he said.
"are fair enough, but they fail to
see that their ways are contrary to
American principles.
"They arouse the antagonism of
the Jews and the Catholics, which
tends to disrupt American unity.
Hundreds and hundreds of reports
of whippings and burnings of ne
groes have come up from the south
and west.
"America has no place for the man
in the mask. He is a menace to the
liberty and equality provided by the
constitution for all.
Order Declared rn-Chrtrtian.
At Fort Washington collegiate
church nev. Kobert W. Searle de
clared the klan was not representa
tive of the Christian church or the
true spirit of Americanism. Dr
Newell Dwight Hillis of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, joined in denunci
ation of the klan.
Imperial Klokard Haywood as
serted tonight in reply that "whether
the J'rotestant churches want the
klan or not, we are here to save
them."
KLAN" SCARES STUDENT A WAX
Harvard Sophomore Loaves in
Fear When Threatened.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
BOSTON, Dec. 3. Hubert Kenneth
Clay, eophomone at Harvard, and
said to be a descendant of Henry
Clay, has left his studies and his
room in Cambridge uid is now on
his way to Florida, the result of
threats against him by the Ku Klux
Klan.
The final straw came Friday night
when the Harvard sophomore re
ceived a telegram, the contents of
which he refused to divulge to his
roommates. Immediately after open
ing and reading the missive he an
nounced he was on his way to
Florida. He packed his belongings
and boarded the 11:40 o'clock train
for Washington.
The student was an all-round ath
lete. He had made the football
squad, was a polo star and when he
made his unexpected departure, held
the office of secretary of the Har
vard Golf association.
Clay told friends shortly after
coming to Harvard that in Colorado
Springs he had belonged to Kluxers.
On coming east, he said, he had re
nounced his obligations because of
the policy of the Klan "staking in
the dark" and because its "ideals"
were unAmerican.
His last days at Harvard were al
most a torment. Everytime a door
banged, Clay would jump. Every
time a nearby phone rang. Clay's
nerves would almost tingle. The
nervous strain showed. Clay's fears
were that someone would "get" him.

FDR SHIPS WANTED
Annual Appropriation Pro
posal to Be Fought.
SENATE CHIEFS CONFER
House Amendment Is Feared as
Dangerous to Attractiveness
to Investors.
(By Chloago Tribune Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 3.
Senate leaders who will direct the
fight for passage of the ship sub
sidy bill by the senate will make
every effort to have eliminated from
the iil the amendment requiring
congress to make annual appropria
tions for subsidy payments out of
the merchant marine fund. Other
amendments adopted by the house
will be passed over if the appro
priation amendment is cut out.
Analysis by experts of the ad
ministration of the effect of the
house amendments indicated, ac
cording to their opinion, that the
house gave the subsidy bill an al
most fatal blow when it adopted the
appropriation amendment.
If the amendment is retained in
the biil, it was declared today by
administration spokesmen, the ef
fect will be practically to make in
operative President Harding's pro
gramme for rehabilitation of the
American merchant marine under
private operation.
Establishment of a permanent
merchant marine fund out of which
subsidy payments may be made by
the shipping board without annual
appropriation by congress is essen
tial u a privately owned and op
erated merchant marine is to be
created, it was declared.
Confidence in the shipping indus
try must be established if shipping
securities are to be sold to the in
vesting public and this confidence
cannot be obtained if the uncer
tainty of whether or not congress
each year will authorize appropria
tions from the merchant marine
fund is to be injected into the situ
ation, it was pointed out.
Uner the house amendment con
gress each year will have the power
to refuse to authorize appropria
tions out of the merchant marine
fund.
Aloofness Dangrer Feared.
Apparently there is no fear that
If the shipping board proceeded to
execufe contracts under the terms
of the subsidy bill, assuming that it
is passed by congress, that congress
wtll refuse to make the necessary
appropriations. The fear is that the
fact that congress must annually
approve the appropriation will de
velop in ship owners, bankers and
Investors an attitude of aloofness
from shipping securities.
Unless shipping securities can be
made attractive to the investing
public it was declared the attempt
to build up a privately-owned mer
chant marine might as well be
dropped. Such securities will not
be attractive if the subsidy appro
priate question' is to be brought
up each year, it was asserted, and
an effective programme for aiding
the merchant marine cannot be
worked out unless a permanent
merchant marine fund is established.

CHICAGO. Dec. 3. On the historic
site of Old Fort Deaborn, Brigadier
General G. V. H. Moseley, com
mander of the sixth corps area,

the massacre by Indians of its gar

speaking at the dedication of the
new building of the London Guar
