KLAN CONSPIRACY
AGAINST LIBERTY
. Hartford, Conn., Deo. 28. Ad
dressing a large gathering of Jews
at a banquet here Christmas day,
Samuel Unterrayer of New York
called the Ku Klux Klan a
"strunge and medieval eruption"
on the civio life of America.
He denounced it "aa the most
revolting blot on the fair escutch
eon of our beloved country" and
; charged It with "reckless under
taking to destroy the foundations
upon which America Is based." He
called It a conspiracy against
American liberty and American
; institutions.
Mr. Untermyer enumerated the
"illegal, cowardly and un-American
practices of the Ku Klux
Klan," stating that there was
overshadowing evidence of the
truth of these charges.
He challenged in particular,
the charge reported to have been
made by the Imperial wizard of
the Ku Klux Klan that the Jews
are not a productive people and
"added nothing to the sum of
human welfare," and by an array
of facts and figures refuted the
charge so far as the Jews of Amer
ica were concerned and then point
ed to Palestine which the Jews are
now rebuilding as a home for their
homeless brethren as the "final
and complete refutation of this
charge of unproductivlty againsi
the Jewish people and the best evi
dence for their positive genius of
constructive productive accom
plishments." DEATHS FROM DIABETES'

rather than words; action on our part to mark prices still lower to assure speedy action on
your part. A'reoord breaking six months business is now revealed through its broken lines,
and so-called odd lots which must be disposed of quickly. Every department shares and the
savings run to half and more. ' VN.

The result of our eagle eyed search through the stocks of every department in the store in
preparation for our yearly task of inventory. Reductions far greater than we anticipated will
be in evidenoe... This sale is made imperative because of the largeness of our remaining
stocks, and our desire to dispose of them immediately.
