TITE MORXIXG ORECOXIAX, TIIUItSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1921 DAMAGING LETTERS ARE READ IN COURT Alleged Murderer Heretofore A Calm Sheds Tears. SIN CONFESSED TO WIFE Conviction of Prisoner Accused of Killing Entire Family Is ' t'rged by His Son. iriDDLETOWN. Conn.. Oct It. (Special.) The fifth day of the- trial of Emil Schutte, for the murder of the Hall family in 1915. found the accused calm and self-possessed. Wil liam Schutte, the 20-year-old son of the accused, testified that fas visited his father at Haddam Jail early in Hay of this year and that his father rave him a pocket handkerchief which hs was not to undo until he rot home. Upon reaching home a letter for his brother, Julius, fell out . which read as follows: "Julius, Julius, my son, my baby. I would (to through hell for you. Please don't go too far. Now, Julius, will you not forgive me for the sake of -your mother? Don't tie a rope around your neck. It would kill your mother If you went to prison tor 20 years In Wethersf leld, the worst prison In the United States. They have charges against you of bigamy, white slavery, etc. The de tectives are looking you up. Do you remember when you were lost as a child In Killing-worth and how your poor mother cried? Now, Julius, you know I am Innocent. Stop gambling get away from bad company and moonshine. Go Away. Says Prisoner. . "Please go away as quickly as pos sible, partly for my sake and partly lor yours. Don't tell Walter, Get an affidavit prepared that I used to lick you terribly and that you wanted to ret revenge. Please, go west, to Mex ico or Argentina. I haXe suffered so much that I could not see you behind tmrs. Get hatred out of your heart for me. My last dying words will be a blessing to you. I'm sorry for the trouble that has come on my wife's head. I have shed tears. Julius, don't think 111 of your father." During the reading of the letter the 'prisoner showed the first real emotion lie has exhibited during the trial, tears rolling down his cheeks. The witness also testified that later In the month when at the Jail his father said: "If I could only get clear of the Ball case I would be all right. I will rive you 11000 If you will get Julius out of the state before the trial." At the meeting he gave the witness a letter for the mother reading: "What a downfall, what a punish ment. I have sinned and I have been forgiven." Sob TJrges Convict Ion. Under cross-examination by Judge Carlson the witness said he wanted tils father convicted because he had been so ugly to his mother and broth ers and for fear of what his father might do if set at liberty. Several witnesses testified to find ing the bodies of the Ball family and the burial of the same. R. T. Hurley, superintendent of state police, testi fied that he talked with Schutte In the Haddam jail May 20 last. He said he asked Schujrte If he set fire to the Pall place and shot the occupants as they came out. He said Schutte an swered: "From what you have asked I should judge that you have enough to send me to prison for 200 years and hang me 20 times," The witness said he helped remove the bones of the Ball family from the graves July 5 last. The dirt and dust In the boxes in which they were burled was taken out and carefully sifted and 11 lead bullets were foundi The bones were placed in water and 12 days later two lead bullets and three circular lead bullets were found. - i Other witnesses testified! to hear ing five or six shots on the night of December 10, 1915. State May Rest Today. Philip Arnold, select man of the town of Haddam in 1915, testified that when the graves of the Ball family were opened he found a watch Jn one of the boxes which ' had topped at 12:45 o'clock. It is thought the state will rest its case tomorrow morning. As the accused left the courthouse' tonight with Sheriff Thompson he waved his hand at the spectators. lous Intolerance and especially that we are anti-Roman Catholic, anti-Jew and anti-negro," he continued. "The works of the klan prove this abso lutely untrue. Many alleged outrages have been attributed to the klan, but none of these were against Roman Catholics, Jews nor negroes per se, and none were committed by the klan. Declaring the attacks against the klan were originated and started by the New York World, he said: "The World is the stronghold of the democratic newspapers and the demo cratic party, and It has been said by those in a position to know that if the World could by shrewd propa ganda and untruthful slanders force a republican congress and adminls tratton to throttle or destroy a purely loyal American Protestant fraternal organisation, as Is the Ku Klux Klan, that Its hundreds of thousands of members, friends and those who think as doesfshe klan, would, at the polls three years from now, forget party lines and preference and vote the democratic ticket" PARCEL POST TAX " REPEAL 'IS VOTED Senate Battles Over Levy to Be Made on Chewing Gum. GIFT TO MAKERS CHARGED WIZARD DEFENDS KLAN (Cnntlniid From First Ptge.) action resulting from his libelous stories, these stories being false from tart to finish." Discussing charges of violence ty alleged klansmen, Mr. Simmons de clared that when a member took the law into his own hands he automati cally was dropped from the organiza tion. Criminals Not Shielded, He Says. "And I have never failed," he added, "to turn over to the local authorities, If I had it any evidence needed to bring about a conviction. No man can say that I personally, or as head of the klan, ever attempted to shield a criminal. A member's oath requires Mm to uphold and respect the law. Our ritual, about which so many slan derous things have been said. Is copy righted and filed these five years In the library of congress. Surely it would not have been put there under the eye of the government if we had anything to conceal. There Is noth ing in It but love of country and pure Americanism." The charge that the klan sought to obtain officers of the law as members, be characterised "as a tremendous in dictment against the honor of Amer ican citizenship." Denying that the klan Incited to riot, he declared no riot had occurred in any city where the klan had representation. Political Ambitions Denied. "The Ku Klux Klan Is purely a Protestant and non-polltlcal organi zation," he said. "It does not seek po litical power. It has offered big re ward for capture of lawbreakers posing as klansmen and its records show where it has provided substan tial aid for those needing it. In the six years I have been with the order I have received only $12,000 and my Atlanta home was the gift of mem bers, most of whom subscribed less than a dollar. If the' Ku Klux were a lawless band there would not be euch a growth of membership. In cluding leading citizens of many com munities, north, east and south." Denying that officials of the or ganization; received large sums as salaries or bonuses, he said: "We are spending the surplus money of the klan in further building and enlarge ment of Lanier university, Atlanta, Ga. We have spent and are spending on Lanier university $160,000." New York World Attacked. "The charge Is made that wi are organized to preach, and teach rellg- SEATTLE KLAN'S REBELLIOUS Home Rule Declared to Be One of Demands of Members. SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 12. (Spe cial.) Out 'of the mists of secrecy that surround the Ku iuux n.ian comes the development that the "In visible empire" has a budding insur rection on its hands in the "domain" of Seattle and that G. Williams, king kleagle. late of Atlanta, ea., who came here last spring to organize the plan, is finding his invisible crown as hard to hold as a straw hat in September gale. Seattle klansmen are not taking any too kindly to a government made In Georgia, even if it s Invisible, and a demand for home rule and a local charter for one of the three local lodges or "klans" organized by King Kleagle Williams Is said to be at the bottom of the heap of trouble the king kleagle has on his hands. Since coming to Seattle six or seven months ago, Williams has "natural ized" more than 600 as knights of the invisible empire at $10 a head, plus $6.50 for a sheet and pillowcase uni form and a few cents more for Inci dentals. But so far none of the three klans organized has received a charter from the imperial wizard, William J. Sim mons of Atlanta. Klansmen, who are risking what ever penalty entails for betraying the secrets of the invisible government, assert that King Kleagle Williams has announced that no charters will be forthcoming for the Seattle lodges until, a paid-up city membership of at least 50U0 shall have been attained. The insurrectionary movement reached a boiling-over point at the weekly meeting of klan No. 2 last Monday night, members say, when one of the rebel klansmen started a rough house by accusing King Kleagle Will lams of having slandered him by call ing him a spy on the order. One rumor has It that a revolver was drawn in the turmoil and that the apology was extorted at the business-end of the weapon, though others assert that peace was restored by "orderly methods," whatever that may mean In Ku Klux language, and the misunderstanding settled. Anyway, It was some sheet-and-pil-lowcase party. TRAPPED ATTACKS RATS Committee Says That Intention Is to Cause Closed Factories to .. Reopen for Business. OLD POSTOFFICE BUILDING TO BE RID OF PEST. Government Expert .at Catching Predatory Animals in Charge of Fight on Rodents.. Rata, ravenous and daring, which from time to time have aroused the Ire of postoffice patrons through the attention paid to mail In transit, are soon to feel the heavy hand of the government, minus any red tape or undue formality. At the request of Postmaster Jones, a government trapper from the office of the preda tory animal Inspector took station at the old postoffice building yesterday with 60 traps. As campaigns go, the attempt to rid the premises of rats. Is not new, but In spite of the fact that rat cam paigns seldom have proved perma nently successful, at least since the day of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Postmaster Jones Is determined to reduce the number of rats inhabit ing the old postoffice building and materially diminish the supply of new arrivals. Their presence in the postoffice has been more a subject of personal annoyance than actual de struction, according to Postmaster Jones. Through experience, the em ployes place all foodstuffs and per ishables remaining in the office over night on Iron-legged tables, but oc casionally a rat does sample the con tents of a package in transit. The rats within the building will be cooped' up like prisoners in the bastlle for ' the basement entrance will be screened with fine mesh wire. With outside rats barred from entry Postmaster Jones thinks the exter mination of the free boarders in the building can be expedited.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct 12. Adoption by the senate of the repub lican compromise for repeal of all the transportation taxes on next January 1 was completed today with the ac ceptance without a dissenting vote of an amendment removing the tax on parcels post packages. Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, sought to extend the repeal to levies on messages by telegraph, telephone, cable and radio, but his motion was voted down, 32 to 26. Committee) amendments to the bill accepted Included those Imposing li cense taxes on brokers and others and manufacturers' taxes of S cents a gallon on cereal beverages, still drinks and unfermented fruit juices; "Vi cents a gallon on finished foun tain syrups and 5 cents a pound on carbonic acid gas. Senate Stack on Gam Tax. TTntil the chewing-gum tax was reached the senate made fairly rapid progress on the bllL But there it stuck for nearly two hours with a dis cussion of chewing gum. tariff and other subjects. A republican proposal to repeal the 2 per cent tax on this gum was opposed by Senator Reed, who said the senate had voted to re tain $28,500,000 In taxes upon senders and receivers of messages by wire and radio, while It was proposed "to re fund one twenty-eighth of that amount to Wrigley." "Who made this bargains asked Senator Reed with reference to the compromise plan to knock out tbe chewing-gum tax. "Who overturned the action of the committee? When was it agreed to? It demands an ex planatlon when a gentleman can es cape $1,000,004 In taxes on something that Is useless and worthless. W hat was the influence that reached behind the doors and took the tax off Mr, Wrigley?" Factories Reported Closed. Senator Watson, republican, In diana, sail the information before the finance committee was that factories of the American Chicle company were closed down and that the re moval of tbe tax had been suggested to get those plants started up again. He declared that so far as the com mlttee knew, "Mr. Wrigley" did not care about the tax; that he 'never bad asked that It be removed. During Senator Reed's addr there was reference to the agricul tural bloc' and Senator Moses, re publican. New Hampshire, wanted to know how many agriculturists were in that "bloc." This led later to an address by Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, who declared the time had come to quit referring derisively to the agri cultural "bloc." He warned that it was composed of democratic and re publican senators who were deter mined to get legislation through the senate for the benefit of the farmers and who were equally as determined that the "minions of Wall street" should not control tax and tariff legislation. Vote October 21 Proposed. After an address by Senator Heflln, Democrat, Alabama, who told of the work of the agricultural "bloc" and again attacked the federal reserve board, the excise tax section was passed over. Those in charge of the bill explained it would be advisable to wait until the senate had passed on the excess profits repeal and other major proposals before finishing with the miscellanous taxes, as it might be necessary to raise more revenue from these sources than the commit tee had contemplated. Chairman Penrose of the finance committee announced today that as soon as the peace treaties were dis posed of he would ask unanimous con sent for a final vote on the tax bill on October 21. "I look," he said, "for all amend ments suggested by the finance com mittee and those accepted by the ma jority of republican members to be a part of the bill. No amendments from the minority of any other source will have any show." "The bill doubtless will be Im proved In conference." the nine now representing the church. The conference voted today to raiso $25,000 for the national benevolence fond of the organization. The quota for the state of Oregon was set at $40,000 by national officials of the church, but following some discus sion the de-legates agreed that the smaller amount should be raised among the state churches. The de tails of apportioning the amount will be left to the apportionment com mittee. Christian education waa the key note of the addresses during the aft ernoon session. Rev. E. Constant, chairman of the committee of inves tigation of Pacific university, declared that there should be one strong Christian college In Oregon instead of the several denominational Insti tutions now here. More sympathetic appeal through the columns of the re ligious literature was the plea of Rev. Fred Gray, district educational secretary of the northwest, who stated that many Christian publications con tain propaganda, but lack informa tion. The Smith-Townley bill now pend ing in congress was exrplained by Rev. W. C Kantner of Salem, who told of the provisions that would provide a new cabinet educational official. At the evening session the delegates were addressed by Rev. Dr. McElveea of Portland and F. L. Fagley. Tomor row morning officers for the ensuing "TRY THE DRUG STORE FIRST'!!!!; year will be elected.

The man whom success has touched with her magic wand shrewdly fortifies his fortunes with fjod health. Wise business-men know the cash value of a healthy mouth ; they take good care of their teeth. Pyorrhea strikes four out of five past the age of forty and thousands younger. i If you would pass the noon of life and go down the sunset trail vigorous and strong, watch your gums! ' At the first sign of tenderness or bleeding, take heed. That is Pyorrhea's warning. If this disease gets beyond control your teeth are doomed. As Pyorrhea gains headway the teeth loosen at the roots, drop out or must be pulled; pus pockets form; deadly germs seep, seep, seep throughout the system. If you would prevent Pyorrhea, consult your dentist regu larly and brush your teeth with Forhan's For the Gums. Forhan's will prevent Pyorrhea, or check it in its course, if used consistently and used in time. But don't wait! Start using Forhan's now. Forhan's For the Gums is the scientific formulaof R.J.
