tatements. letters and other docu-

‘ ents signed by old time fishermen

I In a letter written in 1798 from

“On the 20th of June last. being
21 my passage from the West In-
ies having just made Desert Island.
istant nearly ten leagues. I sud-
enly got sight of a. serpent of an
normous size swimming on the
urtace of the ocean. its head ele-
atcd about six or eight feet out of

vhich was out of the water I judg-
fad to be about the size of a barrel

n circumference. but the head lar-

i-ter and having some resemblance
of a. horse's. According to the most

r’courate computation which I made

ould not be less than from 50 to
0 feet. and perhaps longer.”

The same paper said that a party
ad been arranged to sail out and
ttack the monster which had been

' Ten Thousand Will
Be in Parade

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.—-(AP.)
Railroad and other preparations
were going ferward in the capital
today for the prospective arrival of
upwards of fifty thousand visitors
for the Ku Klux Klan demonstra-
tion here Saturday when Klansmen
will parade up Pennsylvania avenue.

Forty five special trains. to bring
the influx from as far as Buffalo.
New York. Columbus. Ohio. and
Jacksonville. Florida. already have
been chartered for the occasion. and
one railroad has had to turn down
other applications for trains, which
are still being received. replying
that all available equipment has
been assigned.I

Local Klan officials have inform-
ed the police that a great majority
of the Visitors will be the families
of Klansmen. who will return home
with them on the specials scheduled
to leave Saturday night. Their
latest estimate is that not more
than 10.000 will march in the par-
ade. although when they first ap-
plied for the parade permit they
indicated that the number would be
nearer 100,000.

In additio}: to the special trains.
automobile caravans are bringing
other hundreds to the capital. with
seven of the motor trains under-
stood to be en route from Texas
alone. Police have made arrange.
ments for the parking of hundreds
of cars in a suburban section.

The army of‘tnore distant visitors.
the greatest number of whom are
coming on the specials from Penn-
sylvania and New Jersey. as well as
many from Ohio. West Virginia and
New York. is expected to be swelled
by upwards of 5,000 Klansmen from
nearby points in Virginia and Mary-
land.

National headquarters of the Klan
has addressed a letter to local or-
ganisations asking the cooperation
of participants in making the dem-
onstration an exemplar of order-li-
ness and Acting Police Superinten-
d'ent Evans says he expects nothing
e se. -

"But we expect to be prepared."
he added. in explaining an order of
the department for the full police
force to be on reserve duty for the
twenty-four hours beginning at 8
a. m. Saturday. .

MILFORD WAGES
' CONCESSIONS

Twenty-two Warrants
Served for Alleged
Violation of Sunday
Law—Blue Laws?

MXLFORD, Aug. 6,—The climax
of the fight being waged by the
Law and Enforcement committee of
the city against concessionaires of
Walnut Beach was reached .iOl‘lI

late last night when Sergeant Harry
Galbrunner. of the Milford police,
served 22 warrants on concession-
sires, ~

The stand owners who intend to
carry their tight to the Supreme
court were ordered to appear in the
Milford town court tomorrow. They
are especially charged with two
counts. First. that “they violated the
law by conducting a business of
work on Sunday other than work of
mercy or necessity." and that they
"displayed for sale goods, wares and
merchandise." .
Originally 81 warrants were is-
sued but in nine of the cases it was
found that the owners had been
given state permits. The specific
date given in the warrants is Sun-
day, August 2. when the stands op-
ened contrary to an order that had
been issued against just such action

NEW YORK. Aug. d.-(AP.) The
wonderland into which Mary Louise
Spas. daughter of Bohemian immi-
grants. stepped Tuesday when she
was adopted by Edward A. Brown-
ing. millionaire realtor. ' yesterday
became a daszlng reality with its
main highway Fifth avenue and its
chief diversion an Arabian Night’s
shopping tour.‘ ’ -- . .

Whether the transition from her
former life ilito her new one was
as startling as had first been sup-
posed, however. did not seem to de-
tract from the keen pleasure she
took in [her first day in her new
role.

 

Neighbors Talk.

Neighbors of the Spas. in talks
with reporters, insisted that the
girl was nearer 21 than 18. as an-
noilncod by Mr. Browning, had
worked in the movies. and was en~
gaged to a dentist prior to her
adoption. The Spas family. they
asserted. far from being in poor
circumstances. enjoyed the income
from a $60,000 apartment house
in addition to the father'b salary as

that Mary was an only child. neigh-

Mr. Browning. however. appeared
undisturbed by these developments.

that she must be about 13 veers

Today Mr. Browning insisted that
Mary was just sixteen years 'old,
while she added that she was “ill-t
over sixteen."

Happy in their new relationship.

Mr. Browning and his adopted
daughter spent the day touring rich
and sumptuous shops. examining
silks and eatins odered for their
inspection and estimating" the quanu

frocks and other bits of feminine
