MYSTERY STUFF FIZZLES Visitors Received at Multnomah Motel Icarn That Town Is Very Wicked and Must Clean Tip. With theatrical claptrap a-n attempt was made to impress various officials yesterday afternoon with the self importance of the Ku Klux Klan. The eheet-and-pillowcase masquerade was held In a room In the Multnomah ho tel and the hand-picked audience of officials didn't turn a hair when old King Kleagle and his side-kick, Cy clops, pranced around. Cy was the doorkeeper and apologised for not taking off his mask, but a couple of shoes large enough for a policeman played hide and seek beneath bis en veloping sheet. Just so the affair would he reported with enough epooky stuff to affect the rea-dlrtg public, old King Kleagle handed out typewritten articles for the press, containing headlines. Bub heads and all. For example, here are the prepared headlines: "Mysterious Ku Klux leader gives Interview, to editors, mayor, chief of police, detective asrencies, ministers and prominent citizens of Portland. Jteporters and others followed In structions and eventually were ush ered Into the presence of King Klea gle of the realm of Oregon and mem bers of Klan No. 1 of the city of Portland, and hear Klan's plans." Mystery Staff Fiiiln.' Well, the "headlines" are not exact ly correct. Those who were present were: Mayor Baker, Chief of Police Jenkins, Sheriff Hurlburt. District At torney Evans, United States Attorney Humphreys, Police Captain Moore, Harry P. Coffin of the National Safety council. Rubs Bryon of the department of justice, P. S. Malcolm and a few reporters. Again to quote: "Mystery In meet ing place. A mysterious ride Into a mysterious place In the city finally ushered the above citizens Into the presence of a group of figures garbed in the costume of the Ku Klux Klan." The mysterious ride didn-'t eventuate and no one would consider room 878, Multnomah hotel, a mysterious place. .The "group of figures" consisted of two men. old Kirrsr Kleagle and the Cyclops with the large feet. And, further quoting the press agent's account: "A tall figure, gowned a little more elaborately than his companions, extended a friendly hand and said, in a southern dialect, 'How do you do, gentlemen?' He made a rather terrifying spectacle." Before the interview was over, old King Kleagle removed his hood, but Cyclops said he must be excused. Maybe the mayor or the chief of po lice or the police captain might have recognized a member of the force. Anyway, Kleagle said, there are about ISO policemen already members. Identity Temporarily Concealed. Right at this time, explained Kleagle, the members must conceal their identity,, because they have many enemies. Some day, however, the klan hopes to build a temple in Portland. Realtors please note. The klan is a very law abiding or ganization. Insisted the Kleagle with the southern dialect. However, the klan takes the law into its own hands when there is no law to fit a case. This order now has branches in fialem, Ashland, Medford and Hood River and "in six to 12 months we will have noless than 100,000 mem bers in Oregon," said Kleagle. The population of Oregon Is about 800,000, of which about 400,000 are children and about 200,000 more are women and of the remaining 200,000 there are many thousand aliens, naturalized citizens, and other men who are in eligible to the klan on account of religious belief. Mr. Kleagle announced that "ours is not an anti-organization of any kind. We are not anti-Japanese, or anti-Jew, or anti-negro, or anti-Catholic, or anti anything else." And then he said that the big problem on the Pacific coast today is the Japanese, na mere are certain powers fur 4 Dishing Japan with money and men.' , Some Stories Questioned. To. qualify as a member, said Kleagle, one must be a white male. enme, ana iuu per cent pure Ameri can. Having assured the audience of the peaceful character of the organi sation, me press agents report naive ly observes: As to the many stories and dis patches which have been circulated aoout tar and feathering activities of the klan In other sections, some are true and some are not true; many of mem are simply vicious propaganda spread by radicals who fear our or ganization. Some of these are true, because in certain cases the klan finds that it can best remedy existing conditions by taking direct action, or In other words the klan takes up cases where the law leaves off. As a whole we do not take the law into our own hands. One of our nrincinal aims is to build up a huge army of uuoinciai detectives. Clean Up Is Contemplated. A hopeful note in the Kleagle's talk was his assurance that the klan keen Itself clean and the members who do riot keep clean have something hap pen to tnem possioiy they are given a cake of soap. And another funny thing-: old King Kleagle said that the members included a large number or t-oruana policemen, and then he tola now rotten the town is and tha the klan intends cleaning it up. Ap parently the policemen do not feel disposed to clean things up until the Kleagle tells them. Cyclops may have oeen wise m not revealing his face Since coming to Portland. Kleagle has come into possession of enough iniormanon concerning crime, degra cation and lawlessness now going on that If it were exposed to the press many good citizens would be much alarmed and would not allow their wives and daughters to appear on the streets. This paragraph is an exerpt from the prepared report of the press agent. The report does not say whether the mayor, the district attorney or other officials said any thing about it. Possibly they were too much terrified by the southern dialect, or Cyclops shoes. "He also informed us." .says the press agent, "that he was very fa miliar with the rottenness prevailing tn the political situation in the city and state, and that it was part of the plans and purposes of the klan to purify the same." Old stuff. Been used since Brutus' faction pulled it on Caesar in the Roman elections. As all the officials in the city and county are republicans, it sounds like democratic campaign talk. NJght Parade Coming. Old King Kleagle said the klan In tends pulling a night parade stunt, every- croBees. press long "journey through the city of Port land with that determination In their hearts and minds that right, law and order must prevail." Again? "There are no idle fancies. They are the etern, serious state ments of the King Kleagle and the Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan." I Kleagle permitted detailed examina tion of his costume." The outfit would be a knock-out at a Hailow'een party. If old King Kleagle. and his southern dialect, would carry a pumpkin with a lighted candle in It. when the officials left room 878 they didn't appear a bit fussed; there were no pale, blanched faces, trem bling knees nor frightened, back ward glances. The masquerade was dud. 'AGEANT PROFITS SPLIT SEATTLE SOCIETY TO PLACE HALF IX TRUST FTJXD. Production Which Brought $125,- 0 00 as Gross Receipts to Be Shown In Other Cities. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 1.

Irrespective of cost or horse power, an increase of first-class postage rates to 3 cents and an added levy on cigars, tobacco and cigarettes were understood to have been among tax revision suggestions presented today by Secretary Mellon to the house ways and means committee, meeting in executive session.

Elimination of the Income surtax brackets above 40 per cent with the surtax rates on incomes ranging from 36000 to $50,000 Increased.

Expenditure Estimate Made. Mr. Mellon was said to have esti mated government expenditures for next year at $4,676,000,000, but Chair man Fordney said this was dependent on how much of the $500,000,000 due the railroads would have to be ad vanced out of the federal treasury, the cost of operating the government merchant fleet and the size of ex penditures for the army and the navy. Aside from Internal taxes, the treas ury secretary was understood to have estimated customs receipts for next year at $450,000,000 and miscellaneous receipts, including salvage, at $350, 000,000. He was said to have figured that the $10 license tax on automo biles would bring in $100,000,000 and that added levy on . cigars, tobacco and cigarettes an additional $25,000, 000. Increased postal rates have been estimated to yield another $75,000,000, but the estimate as to the income from the proposed tax on bank checks was not disclosed. Revenue Loss Estimated. The loss of revenue through reduc tion' of the transportation taxes has been placed at approximately $150.- 000,000. After the committee had heard'Mr, Mellon, Internal Revenue Commission er Blair, Dr. T. S. Adams, treasury tax expert, and other financial officers of the government. Chairman Ford ney reiterated his statement of last Saturday that he believed the nation's tax bill could be cut $7,500,000,000 and the government run for $4,000,000,000 a year. Representative Gardner said that government expenditures in excess of that sum next year would be a wil ful, wicked waste of public funds, wholly indefensible." He asserted that the federal establishment coulr be run for $3,500,000,000, adding that Representative Madden of Illinois, the new chairman of the appropriations committee, had declared that this sum should be sufficient. Before the committee heard the treasury experts, the republican mem bers were in conference with Mr. Mad den for a discussion of expenses next year and more particularly the needs of the shipping board, the army and the navy. Examination of the trea sury officers concluded the commit tee's hearings on the revision measure and the republican members plan to get to work tomorrow on a final draft of the bill. Chairman Fordney reiter ated that the committee probably could not complete the measure in less than three weeks. HISTORIC SCHOOL MOVED Silver-ton to Make Room for Xew Grades Building.
