One of the Germans replaced a Legion man, it was found out, but the latter had quit voluntarily.

One of the Germans replaced a Legion man, it was found out, but the later had quit voluntarily. The post fears that the two who say they have found Southern California a paradise compared with Germany, will try to induce their confrances in Germany to come over in large numbers and deprive service men of jobs, which still are none too many. The matter of what action to take was referred to the committees on law and on Americanization. An attempt will be made to induce the employers of the two Germans to fire them. The man who was instrumental in getting the men into the country is not their employer. May 21 was set for the post's big barbecue in Santiago canyon. The other posts of the county will be invited to attend, W. K. Duffy, chef at the Santa Ana Elks' club, will look after the meal.

PROMINENT MEN FACING KU KLUX KLAN PROBE LOS ANGELES, April 28. — Seeking new evidence of the inner workings of the Ku Klux Klan, District Attorney Woolwine will call hundreds of members of the Klan to be questioned at his office or before the county grand jury, when it is impaneled for an investigation of the Inglewood moll violence, it was learned today. Those who will be questioned were listed as members of the klan in the roster, containing 1013 names, found in the raid by officers on the headquarters of the so-called "invisible empire" in Los Angeles. A "break" in the ranks of the klan is-the object of the calling of the klansmen, many of whom were found to be well known citizens, city and county officials, peace officers and even ministers. By quizzing the klansmen Woolwine hopes to learn more of the inner workings of the organization from those who are ready to co-operate with the officials in their investigation. Confessions and exposures to corroborate the evidence already obtained by District Attorney Woolwine, it was stated, are expected from klansmen said to be anxious to renounce the klan in the hope of securing immunity from prosecution for the Inglewood raid. In groups of three and four, whose names were found on the klan membership list will be called either to the district attorney's office or before the grand jury for questioning relative to the secret activities of the organization. District Attorney Woolwine today strongly urged the immediate paneling of the 1922 grand jury for the purpose of carrying on the investigation of the klan and the Inglewood raid. "We have the klan "nailed down" Woolwine said. "From the documents seized in the raid on the leutenants and general chairman, Edwin C. Rundstrom at headquarters in the Beebe-Harrison office at 5:30 this evening. Plans for the big complimentary dinner to the workers and the definite launching of the campaign has been set for Tuesday evening at 6:00.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY FLAYS KU KLUXERS The Ku Klux Klan was flayed by Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson in an address before the Santa Ana P.-T.A. yesterday afternoon. He declared there was special need to emphasize among young people the need for law enforcement. "Such exhibitions as that at Inglewood must impress upon all citizens the need for law enforcement," declared the district attorney." When men of any class, no matter what their ideals, attempt to take the administration of the law into their own hands, they immediately become outlaws." "There is no need for such action. When officials become weak and inefficient, they can be recalled. Two wrongs never make a right." Nelson also urged adoption of the Wright prohibition enforcement act. The R.T.A. of Santa Ana which has more than 1000 members, elected Mrs. E.M. Blake, president; Mrs.C.F. Mitchell, vice president and Rev.P.F. Schrock, vice president.

"We have the klan "nailed down" Woolwine said. "From the documents seized in the raid on the klan headquarters and from other information and evidence at hand we have enough to show that the klan was responsible for the Inglewood and Kern-co outrages. "The immediate impaneling of the grand jury is essential. Our case against the klan and the perpetrators of the mob violence is virtually complete and ready for action by a grand jury, the procedure that is vitally necessary in the case." Woolwine communicated with Presiding Judge Willis and Superior Judge Houser in urging that the grand jury be impaneled. Judge Houser, who was ill at his home in Alhambra, was said to have asked the district attorney for evidence showing that the new grand jury should be impaneled at once. The so-called "confession" of N.A. Baker, kleagle of the klan, alleged to have been one of the leaders of the Inglewood raiders and to have presided at the klan meeting at which the raid was planned, was kept secret by Woolwine today. Baker delivered to the district attorney a seven-page signed and typewritten statement in which he was reported to have admitted his part in the Inglewood raid. Baker and his attorney, Paul R.D.'Orr, said they were willing that his statement should be released for publication, but after reading it Woolwine and his advisers decided that, for reasons pertaining to their investigation, it should be withheld at this time.
