New York County Con- ‘ clave Also Assails La Follette at . Stormy ' Session NEW YORK. Aug. 16.—In a .stormy session the New York county ‘convention of the American Legion [condemned the Ku Klux Klan. ‘naming the organisation specifical- gly: assailed Senator LaFollette. al~ though not using his name in the ;resolutlon, and went on record as ”strongly supporting the observance :of Defense Day. 3 The three resolutions dealing with ithese questions formed the high ispots of the evening, with the Klan thringing forth the most exciting ‘Tcontroversy. When it finally came 'to a vote. the Klan resolution was passed by a. very large majority. b‘ht an attempt to make it unani- mous failed. ; Assistant District Attorney James J. Wilson. in the midst of the de— Ebate over the Klan, leaped to his vfeot and shouted: "We need no :proof of the activities of the das- 3tardly organization! I say to hell :vvith the Ku Klux Klan and let's came it!" ' There were two separate resolu- Qtions passed concerning the Klan. 7I'be first was introduced at the be- Zglnnlng of the session by Irwin I. .‘Rackoff. a Jew. head of the Legis- a?! .n..._u,- native Committee. It read: f “Whereas. The United States. 2from earliest Colonial times, has istood for religious freedom and Ztolerance, and the first settlers came :to this country to escape religious ,‘persecution at home. and whereas ithe Constitution of our country jguarantecs to all religious freedom; :be it. ; Resolved. That the '].cgion condemn and most strongly :disapprove of the efforts of any persons or body of persons to ”abridge. religious freedom. to en- :gender racial strife and to foment intolerance in questions of person- 'sl liberty. We specifically denounce the Ku Klux Klan." Negro Suggests A Purging. As sobn as it was read Dr Thomas Walters. a negro. took the floor and said that he thought the Legion might be found to have a mote in its own eye. and should purge itself before assailing the Klan. He ac- cused the Southern posts of the Le- gion of excluding negrocs from membership. and also of defeating Major DeegaTn for national corn- mander on religious grounds. He also said that the Forty-and-Eight Society. .‘n this city.. of which he said. Racket! was the head. barred negrocs from membership. Opposition to the resolution was 'Voiced by one or two other speakers. and an amendment was introduced to strike out the name of the Klan. The nmerrfment was overwhelming- ly defe1teri and the resolution puss- ed as introduced. The second resolution read: “We link: it to be inconsistent with general Amer‘canism for one to car- ry the national stander-l when his face is hidden from public view, and therefore. we condemn the practice of carrying the American i‘ag in parades and ceremonies by persons whose faces are masked." Concerning La Follows. ,In the resolution assaiiing La Lollette and Wheeler. the names of the two were left out of deference to the policy of the legion to avoid partisan politics. The resolution. after much discussion. was defeated by a. vote of 242 to 154. but its up- position made it known that their apposition was based on the desire to avoid politics altogether and did the mark may be seen in the Buick announcement this week of its standard six models, together with the larger machines to be built this year. which will be powered by the well known valve-in-head en- gins. A view of the new automobiles likewise dispels an accompanying rumor that circumstances were causing the company to make some material changes in the body lines and general appearance of the mo- dels. It was announced that. there wil be no radical changes in either the engine or the body. only minor improvements being made. .

Three years ”ng the organization was started at the suggestion of Mrs. George Thorn liiii, jr.. under the auspices of the League of “'omen Voters. lts~pur- pose was’ to provide entertainment :‘ml'liome atmosphere for those girls and young women of the city whose only home was a small room. whose only relief from the mono- tony of the day's labor was to be found within the narrow confines of their room or the entertainment offered them at nearby movie houses. Through the generosity of An- drew Collins and the Norwalk Realty and Improvement Company the club was given room at 68 Wall street here the organization main— tained its headquarters for six months. At the end of that time it was discovered that the influx of new members made the headquart- ers too small and it was then dc- eided to establish the clubrooms in the building occupied by Glendon- ning's drug store. \‘i’ith Mrs. George Thorns, Hill as chairman. Mrs. A. M. Fochhéimer as secretary and treasurer and a number of other well-known local women including Mrs. \Villiam Lau- der, Mrs. John Cavanaugh'. Miss Mary Kirby Jennings, Mrs. Edward \Veed. Mrs. Ivan \K’adsworth and Mrs. James Gregory heading the various committees. the work of the club began to get under way. Two hundred members registered during the first year and classes were formed for the study of dress- making. mllilnery. china painting and physical culture. For the bene- fit of the musically inclined an“; in- structress was hired to teaeh‘be- ginners the intricacies of ukelele playing. The practise of keeping “open house" once a month was in- stituted and found very successful. Some form of entertainment was arranged by the committee for these evenings to be followed by dancing and card and refresh- ments. The various classes and the rac- rise of holding monthly ‘gpen [liouse" became increasingly popu- lar. 'mcmbers continued to Join and the club became an assured thing. a recognized factor in the social life of the city. At the present time there are approximately three hundred mem- bers. Competent instructrésses di- rect classes in millinery. physical culture. ukelele playing. china playing. painting and dressmaking. A reading room. a writing room and s. room equipped for dancing is at the disposal of the young women. When a chapter of members wish to entertain their friends they are allowed to have the dance hall 'for the evening. The chapters corn- prise ten members.

During the winter the club gave one of its rooms over to the Red Cross for headquarters and also offered a room to the Girl Scouts for their meetings. The club occu- pies the two‘ upper floors. renting the lower floor. and thereby reduces the overhead expense. For this reason the club dues are correspondingly low.- The club is at the present time in the need of thc,scr\'ices.ot a 1"”- ponslhio woman to net as matron. Throughout the summer months the club has remained closed. the open- ing for the winter scheduled for the latter part of September. It is expected that a number of new members will be enrolled at. that time and all indications are for a successful season. In three years the club has be- come the home of hundreds of lo- cal young women. it offers its so- lace to the lonely girl an d is the medium of self-expression of the unselfishnes of the women of the city and in itself a tribute to them. KICK-0F HORSE ENTERS CASE OF COMPENSATION BRIDGEPORT. Com-1.. Aug. r6.— A salesman. injured while engag- ed in serving a prospective customer. is entitled to compensation from his employer. Compensation Commis- sioner Edward T. Buckingham ruled in a finding yesterday. allowing the claim of James Doran. 804 William street. against the Remington Cash ,Registcr company. by whom he is employed. In making the decision Commissioner Buckingham estab- lished a precedent as it is the first time that a commissioner had ruled on the legality of such a claim. Duran was kicked in the face by a runaway horse on May 5 as he was tryir]; to interest Mrs. Noel Richards. of Newtown. in the pur- chase of a cash register. Mrs. Richards observed the horse running from the yard and requested Dorsn to help catch the animal. Doran ran after the horse and after catching it was kicked. His Jaw was fractured. several teeth knocked out and his face seve ely lacerated. Comm loner Buckingham found that the accident resulted. during the saiesman's employment and ordered the following bills paid by the Globe Indemnity company: Taxi. 828: Dr. James F. Waish. 3118: Dr. William J."McLaughlin. 8160: Dr. Phillip Me- xmghlin. $150; and St. Vincent's hospitaL- 828. In explaining his finding on the can Commisdoner Buckingham states: “In order that an accident may come within the purview of the Compensation Act. it must arise out ofand in the course of the employ- ment. In this case there is no on 60b as to the accident arising in- tho course of the claimant's cmploy-’ meat, but the respondent raises the contention that the accident did not arise out of his employment. : g. “In the case at bar. titanium“ ii at the store owned by Mr. Noel mama-.11“: an.

F' CHICAGO, August 18.~Endocrin. elegy. the new "chemistry of char- acter." the relation of the duetless glands to mentality. was the subject for further revelations in the hear- ing yesterday before Judge John R. Caveriy to determine whether Na- than Leopold. Jr.. and Richard Loch shall be hanged or sentenced to per- itentiary terms for the kidnapins and murder of Robert Franks. The theory of functional disorders of tho endoctrlne having .afl'ected adversely the mentality of the youths was advanced by a defense allenist to bolster the plea fdr ml- tigation of punishment. Dr. Rollin T. Woodyatt of Chicago one of the few physicians who have studied endocrinology exhaustively. was named as the StatE's first Wit- ness yesterday. Two alienists for the State concludéd their testimony on the stand. admitting on cross-exam- ination that their conclusions that the youths were sane were arrived at after rbrie! cori\'erm§flons'1vifh the defendants and perfunctory physical examinations.— Dr. \‘i’oodyatt described tests for determining the .rate or degree of metabolism in a patent. the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood, sugar in the system and acidosis. inter- prislng replies to hypothetical ques~ tions. Milton Smith. an assistant State‘s attorney. put the hypothetical ques- tions. phrasing them to include all the various disorders remarked up- on ag found by defense doctors in Leopold and Loch. Mr. Smith read from a prepared list of questions with which the wit- ness seemed familiar. . The next question involved the doctor's acquaintance with the 'pre- sent state of medical knowledge of the endocrine glands. "There are many definite facts known." he said. ‘but they are cat- tered and not scientifically classi- tied. known about that field. A great deal remains to be Little that satisfied with the manner in which - "Of course Loeb already has told _ is coherent and concrete is now known. "The field of endocrinology has been exploited by romantic writers. charlatans and others who are not to be classified as scientists.
