Seeing the appeal from the Chairman

to help in our humble way in relieving
the suffering in our midst.
The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan i?
a charitable, benevolent, patriotic fra
temal order believing that charity be-
gins at home and extends abroad and
as such kindly solicits your enterprising
paper to sponspr a short campaign be
ginning Saturday, the 5th of November
and ending the night of November 10th,
to .raise funds and collect useful ar
tides for the use of the As«M>ciated
Charities of this city. 1
of this worthy cause the
subscribes $50 00 cash, i
find enclosed herewith.
We ask you to assume this important
responsibility because we feel and be
lieve you are best situated to carry out
this laudable undertaking, as you nave
the daily paper at your command, which
fills a great fdace in the hearts and
minds of the community. We feel that
in opening your columns in t behalf of
this cause and receiving subscriptions
and donations for the Associated Char
ities you will render a real service to
the needy and destitute of our commit
nity and that you in turn will be great
ly blessed by our Christ the Lord.
We appeal to and call upon all or
ganized bodies, business houses, individ
vals and the public in general in Gaine--
ville, who love and can receive a pleasure
out of helping to relieve the needy of
our city to give of what you have to
give in money old clothes, shoes, food

Washington, Nov. 4.—(Associated Press)—Congress will be asked to
appropriate $ JO,000,000 for the enforcement of prohibition during the
next fiscal year, an increase of $2,500,000 over the appropriations for the!
current year. . .
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes, in making this announcement to-|
day, said the increase would be sought to enable a more complete and ef-
ficient enforcement of the prohibition laws through an enlarged force and
facilities. •
Commissioner Haynes approved today the first two applications from
brewers for permits to manufacture and sell beer for medicinal purposes
under the new treasury regulations." ;
Before the distributions of medicinal beer can begin, Commissioner
Haynes explained, both physicians and druggists must obtain new permits
to enable them to prescribe and sell jt Applications ftfr'Uiese permits, he
added, are made to state directors and issued by them. . ,
In connection with prescription^ for beer, he said,‘a point yet to be de-
cided is whether a physician is limited to th£ 100 prescriptionsevery three
months as is now the rule, or whether under the new regulatrons he is en-
titled to more prescriptions for beer. \

Fire swept the Weehaw-
ken water front for half
a mile early today, de-
stroying five piers of the
Erie railroad, two oil-
laden barges and a huge
warehouse before it was
finally under control.
Damage was estimated
at $3,000,000.

rific blaze rained down
upon New York’s the-
ater and cabaret district
while crews of vessels
up and down the river
were called to fire posts
because of the blazing
fragments blown across
ithe river. -
In a special delivery letter today ad
dressed to The Register, the Ku Klux
Klan of this city enclosed $50.00 in
currency with a request that it be hand

the night of Nov. 10th, and in this cam

end that a sufficient fund will be raised
through spontaneous liberal donations
to place the Associated Charities in
such condition no further appeals will
be necessary to take care of Gaines
ville’s unfortunates during the winter
months ahead.
Upon receipt of the communication,’a
Register i epresentative phoned Mrs
Leeper and told her of the liberal dona
tion. She was elated over this hdcx
pected receipt of so much cash and asked
that her gratitude be expressed to the
Invisible Empire! for its kindness, adding
that demands on the Charities at this
time are heavy and will increase as the
weather grews colder. ■ Mrs. Leeper
stated that several faamlies are being'
cared for just now, and in anoth&r case
a girl 14 years old is receiving medical
attention and board at a cost of $3 per
day, which expense is being borne by the
Associated Oiarities. The president
saad this girl was at the point of death
because her family had no means of
