(Jewish Daily Bulletin)

The Ku Klux Klan, having lost its plea for 2 parade here, hooded and masked, filed a plea today with the police, asking a permit to parade Sept. 13 without the pillow case headdress.

L. A. Mueller, Kleagle and Washington emissary from Atlanta headquarters of the Klan, made the application for the parade permit and Superintendent of Police Hesse said he would approve it now that the Klan has agreed to abandon the peaked and concealing hood.
