Davis, president of the American Bar Association. Mr. Breckinridge expressed regret that Lord Birkenhead had been invited to addresi the organization at its annua convention in Minneapolis, and said he hoped "if it proves necessary for him to fulfill his engagement to speak, it may be intimated to him that the expression of uch opinions concerning a great American statesman is distasteful, and Intolerable to any self-respect ing American audience."

Wilson went to the peace conference with hope as his principal equipment: that the world was not ready for his idealism, and that, by misjuding his own countrymen, he became the agent or post-war developments from which his mind would have recoiled. Mr. Davis declined to indicate what. If any action, would be taken in connection with the Minneapolis address Lord Birkenhead is scheduled to make. The text of Mr.

Breckinridge's letter i to Mr. Davis follows: "Permit me to refer to the impudent references to Ex-President wilson in Lord Birkenhead's speech before the (Continued on Pane Two, Col Two.)

There are tw0 poss'ble pources of the rold. One Is that it was the famous "pot of gold" which Grover Berfrdo'l. he notor'ous slacker, said he buried tear Hagerstown in 1920 when he got leave of the war department to go search for it and then fled the country. Scores of perrons dug for the Bergdo'l gold in the Hancock hil's near Fairview rrountain after it was confirmed he had been living as a fugitive at a hotel In this city. The other is that it was d-den by John B-own.

the famous abolitionist, who raided Harpers Ferry in 1859. The road in which the gold was found runs through the farm which John Brown and his adherents occupied prior to the historic ra on Harper's Ferry. The spot where the gold was found is only two miles from the farm house in which John Brown and his "army" were besiege by Robert E. Lee. Had Plenty of Money.

The famous abolitionist leader, as is we 1 known, was then plentifully supplied with money, with which he was financ ng his enterprise.

Half an hour after the k'ansmen had been halted at the bridge, and during which 'time they stood their ground without offering forced resistance, a united effort was made by the men on foot who were leading the column to break through the cordon of citizens and officers.

Other citizens who had crowded the street, but had taken no part in the demonstration, rushed forward then and bricks and stones began to fly through the crowd toward the marchers.

Several minutes later shots were f.red and the borough police, deputy 5heriffs and other officers, unable to rontrol the situation, appealed for i in from nearby boroughs. With the first cries of "take down that flag," addressed to a klansman leading the column, resistance of the officers and citizens became stronger and the cries rallied many to offer their aid in checking the onward movement of the klansmen. Several minutes, after the first disorder had subsided, one man was picked up dead from the street and three others, shot and wounded fcy flying missiles, were carried away to ambulances and started out of the borough to hospitals. The first demonstration occurred in Main and Third streets. The column had been stopped by about 1.000 citizens who blocked the street with automobiles and for half an hour the klansmen ignored the cries directed at them to lower the flag.
