DIXON DENOUNCES KLAN New York.—As speaker last evening at a gathering of the American Unity League, foe of the Ku Klux Klan, Thomas Dixon, who is the author of "The Clansman," denounced the Klan and its aims. "Why should any man attack the Jew in this country, the home of the free and refuge of the oppressed?" he said among other things. "There are but 3,000,000 in this country, half of them in New York. Jew baiting has always been a form of idiocy. Jesus was the son of a Jewish mother. From Jesus down the ages to the last philosopher and thinker, the greatest ones have been Jews. The Jew is the greatest race of people that God has ever created."
