METHODS OF KU KLUX KLAN
CONTROL OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. A. and N.Z. New York, April 11. Further light was thrown on the alleged methods of Ku Klux Klan when witnesses gave evidence in the Federal Court at Pittsburgh to-day 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 posing as a priest, in order to obtain data for inflammatory anti-Catholic speeches. E. Lanham gave evidence that he saw Klansmen capture two Jewish salesmen from New York to Oklahoma. “They were forced,” he said, “to whip one another, and when they did not apply enough blows to each other with long whips members of the Kian joined in the floggings. Klansmen called this Tapoacking.' ”
