The sheric of Buchanan, who led the attack to stop the Klan parade and who was the first to fall with a bullet in his shoulder, was not being allowed to lay by his physicians at the hospital when he died. Members of the Klan could not be found.
Any action that might be taken will be planned at the investigation to be made by McKenna county police with expected to start within a few days.
Deputy-Sherif Burton declared this morning that nothing will be done until the grand jury meets. He said that although two of the Klanmen were unmasked, he did not know who they were. The paraders, he declared, were members of some Klan men and members of automobiles headed toward Waco. He said that he believed that one Klanman had been wounded.
The jittie town of Loreana today was firmly behind the Klan and a committee of three hundred citizens had asked that a complaint be filed against, the state officers who attempted to stop the parade. It was declared that the police officers attempted to take an American flare away from the Klansman who bore it at the head of the parade.

British Ships Crowd U. S. From Philippines
British Ships Crowd
Manila, P. I., (By Mail to United Press.) - British ships are doing the bulk of the carrying trade of the Philippines, according to figures issued by the bureau of customs coverage on the islands for the first half of 1920.
Of the commerce with the United States, goods valued at $72,180,000 were shipped in foreign vessels chiefly of British registry, while the value of goods carried in American vessels was nry $81,651,000. British vessels carried exports of the Philippines valued at $4,383,000, while the value of exports carried in American vessels was but $38,728,000.
Revenue figures also show that Europe and the United Kingdom are getting the import trade of the Philippines away from America. American firms do not hesitate to buy goods in England or Europe, including Germany, in preference to buying them in the United States. The foreign countries offer better credit terms and sell at lower prices.

Farewell to the Relic Of Student Spooners
The stone K, placed on old North College hill last fall at one of the football rallies, was removed recently by workmen, who broke the three large stones forming the K into building sizes. It had been planned to form the letters K. U. and construct a large pile of stones to grow taller at each rally. Bon fires and peep things were to be held at this place.
Many couples wandering aimlessly around after spending some time with intensive study at the library, have eventually wandered to North College and found a resting place upon the cold stone formings the K. From its advantageous position a secluded view of the moon and stars, as well as the solitude demanded for assistance, have been afforded and consequently the stones of the letter were always tenanted. K. U. couples will greatly miss their comfortable resting place that has been so suddenly taken from our midst.

Victory From Ichabods→
Washburnites Outclassed
In Every Department
of Game
K. U.'s AIR GAME GOOD
Saunders, Spurgeon and "Young Dutch" Lonborg Were Individual Stars of K. U.'s First 1921 Football Game
Couch "Potey" Clark's 1921 grid machine journeyed to Topoka Saturday, accompanied and followed by more than a thousand loyal Jayhawkower rooters, and put a damper on the ambitious Ichabods by romping away with a 28 to 7 victory. The Kansas eleven outclassed the Topeka aggregation in every department of the game, and were never in danger except in the second quarter, when the Washurbites staged a rally that netted them their only touchdown.
After twelve minutes of play, Kansas scored by a 25 yard pass, Black to Lonberg. Nervousness and over-energy resulted in penalties for Clark's team that prevented an Akron drive from passing the counter came in the first of the second quarter, when Kendall, Washburn half, jugged and hugged a 20 yard pass across the goal line. The second Kansas score was the result of a Washburn fumble back of their own with 1:34 left in the game for his second touchdown of the day.
The Jayhawk victory was never in doubt in the second half. The Kansae backfield gained consistently through the Ichabod line, although the two touchdowns scored in this period were made via the pass route, Wilson to Lomborg for the first one, and Walker to Adamus for the last. The Kansas line showed exceptionally well on the offensive, opening up wide holes for the backs to slide through for good gains, and providing a perfect screen under cover of which the score-producing passes were executed. Most of the Washburn-gains came through passing, the Kansas backs having some difficulty in keeping Washburn ends and halfs under cover
