The coro ner's Jury which today inquired into the facts surrounding the killing of Constable M. B. Mosher, slain by an other officer while the constable was participating n a raid of masked men Saturday night, reported a verdict that Mosher came to his death while a member of a masked mob "presum ably instigated and directed by mem bers of the" Ku Klux Klan." The verdict said: "Medford D. Mosher came to his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by Marshal Frank Woerner in pur suit of his duty- while Mosher was acting as a member of an illegal ma eked and armed mob, presumably instigated and directed by members of the Ku Klux Klan. Further Investigation Favored. "We recommend the district attor ney convene a grand Jury of this county to investigate the matter further and take necessary steps to prosecute the perpetrators of this crime." The verdict followed testimony in which these facts were sworn to: The raid was made upon a family of Spaniards who conducted a win ery under federal license, but who were asserted by members of the mob to be bootleggers. Plans for the attack . ware made Friday night at a meeting held in the undertaking chapel at which today's Inquest was held. At this same meeting, attended by 30 men, including one of the under takers who own the chapel, several men took a "preliminary oath" which one-witness described as the first step towards joining the Ku Klux Klan. Kleagle la Attendance. N. A Baker, "kleagle" or organ'zer for the Ku Klux Klan, attended the meeting and was present during the raid the following night Six business men of Inglewood were named as having attended the meeting Friday night. All were called to the stand and five declined to answer questions on the ground their answers might incriminate them. William & Coburn. grand goblin, and Gus Willard Price, king kleagle of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, testified that they went to Inglewood Saturday night after hearing there had been a raid. They denied all knowledge of the meeting Friday, night and said they knew of no such thing as a preliminary oath in their organization. Cebnra Gives Testimony. Persons may be admitted to the klan, Coburn testified, either upon the payment of a fee or rendering some "important service" to the klan. After the verdict was rendered, Deputy District Attorney Doran. wh .conducted the inquest with Coroner Frank A. Nance, conferred with Dis trict Attorney Woolwlne and Presid ing Judge Willis of the Los Angeles county superior court. Judge Willis announced after the conference he would communicate with Judge Houser of the same court, whose duty it is to empanel a grand Jury when called upon. The jury, if called by Judge Uouser. will De asked to inves tigate the Inglewood 'raid and the activities of the kian, it was stated 'testimony Is Dramatic. The testimony at the Inquest was brought out in dramatic manner by Mr. Doran. to whom the greater part of it came as a surprise as it was dragged from the lips of reluctant witnesses. The first clew that led to the series of admissions which resulted in the verdict came from JR. D. Knicker bocker, reporter of a Los Angeles newspaper. Knickerbocker said bis city editors told him Saturday night that Donald Parker, photographer on the same paper, had received a "tip" something was to be "pulled off at Inglewood. Knickerbocker and Parker drove to that place and found sev eral men In a garage, whom they joined and later went to the home of Fidel and Mathias Elduayen. the Spaniards, who were raided. The reporter said he could not identify any of the men by name, but that one was a motorcycle officer. Knick erbocker said he got the impression the party was simply making a raid to assist an officer of the law. ' Parker on the stand admitted he was formerly a member of the Ku Klux Klan, but sent his resignation in last Monday. He said he could not identify anyone taking part in the raid. He left when the shooting started, he declared. While Parker was testifying a iCocciuded va i'ajfe 6, Columa 3.) Party as JLast Resor Explodes Dy namite In Lake Far South, ' but Without Result. CHOLILA. Territory of Chubut, April 25. (By the Associated Press.) Martin Sheffield's famous plesio saurus, if it ever existed, appears to have fled to parts unknown. The ex pedition recently sent out from Bue nos Aires, under the leadership . of Emilio Frye, has been unable to lo cate the animal after many nights of watching and hunting around the lake near Esquuel, where Sheffield re ported he had seen such a monster. As a last resort. Frey exploded 11 cartridges of dynamite in the lake last Sunday, hoping this- would force the elusive prehistoric animal to the surface. This effort was without re sult, however, and the expedition is returning empty handed." " ' A- The party will halt at its Chubut headquarters, however, and probably from there will make other explora tions for the benefit of the Buenos Aires zoological garden ' before re turning to Buenos Aires. The only evidence obtained by the expedition which -might support Shef field's story of the plesiosarus were stories told by the Indians encounr tered. They said they had seen in the lake an animal "as big as four ponchos," the ponchos being an In dian unit of measure. TWO BOYS ARE MISSING Lads Last Seen Launching Home made Canvas Canoe.

United States Visioned as Peace-Maker. GUEST ADDRESSES EDITORS Share in Work of Genoa Corv ference Forecast. WORK HELD WORLD'S NEED Confidence and Trade Declared Most Practical Means for Starting World W'ork. NEW YORK, April 25. (By the As sociated Press.) Lady Astor told leading editors and publishers of the United States today at the annual luncheon of the Associated Press that America would yet join the conference at Genoa. "I believe America can show the way to peace," she exclaimed fervent ly, amid a gale of appjause. The reference to Genoa was but one of a score of subjects touched upon by the Virginia-born member of the British house of commons in a breezy r.ddress on mother love and practical politics that held the close attention of her auditors in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria. Her audience was mostly men, although the boxes in the gallery were filled with women. Lady Astor seemed perfectly at home 1 om the moment she tripped jauntily into the room to the strains of "Dir'e." She joined in the singing of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny." She shouted "hear, hear," when her husband, Viscount Astor, spoke brief ly, and mounted a chair and waved "goodbye" at the conclusion of the luncheon. Various Topics Touched. She digressed considerably from her prepared address, touching at random on sucli topics as .Lloyd George, bol ehevism, labor and capital, the power of the press and a closer understand ing between England and the United States. "I have often been called wild since I left home, but I was never called a peach until I came back," was the way she began her speech, referring to her introduction by Frank B. Noyes, president of the Associated Press, who said, in discussing the apple episode in the Garden of Eden, that "man has ever fallen for the peach, whether it be wild or cultivated." She proudly said she was a Virginia patriot and an ardent one. "This patriot'sm," she said, "had stood her well because it has proved to England that a real patriot can be useful in any country, while a narrow, bigoted patriot is of no use to any country, even his own." She stopped to apologize for her (Concluded on Page 3. Column 1.) t ' STRIKES THAT YOU DON'T READ ABOUT IN THE PAPER. t I " I 1 Cj ). :; i- i t -j.- - 1 where as "wm . .-vs Jr'j jr"V- j Tf""! " .

The jury failed to agree on his first trial. Weston declared that he would make a statement before he is sentenced tomorrow. "All the truth has not been told and I have not been allowed to tell all that I know," he declared after the verdict was read.

The countess, whose husband is one of the Danish delegates to the Genoa confer ence, was .called before the- boarding inspectors when the Resolute dockedH and told that she would have to go to Ellis island. "There is no mystery In the fact that I came here in the steerage," the countess explained. "I have long wanted to study conditions of immi grants."

Marc Martin, 16, Is Believed to Have Lost Life While Trying Some Youthful Prank. That the body seen to go over Celilo falls Monday afternoon was that of j Marc, 16-year-old son of Mr. and ' bheT otholafpnjSOVIET CREATES SENSATION the Marlyn hotel, this city, was the j conviction expressed last night by Mrs. Pollson. So thoroughly con vinced is the mother that it was her son that she has collapsed. A report from The Dalles yester day was that a crowd, gathered on the river banks to watch Indians spear salmon, chanced to see a human body, closely followed by that of a saddled horse, carried over the falls. They disappeared in the eddies and -whirlpools below the falls. Mrs. Martin said the boy went to The Dalles on April 5 to work in highway construction near that city. She said that he was "crazy" about horseback riding and cowboy stuff. and it is the incident of the saddled horse that convinces her that her son, in some boyish, reckless stunt, tum bled himself and horse into the river. The boy, she said, was well devel oped for a 16-year-old. He has been away from home before for extended periods and never failed to write. He was reported missing to police of Chehalis, Portland and The Dalles about a week ago, but so far no trace of him has been found.

April 25. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Soviet Russia con tributed another sensation to the economic conference today by send ing a note to the Polish delegation remonstrating against Poland's ac tion in joining with the allied powers In protest against a separate treaty between Russia and Germany. Russia claimed that the" peace treaty between herself and Poland covers ail relations between the two countries so that Poland, like Ger many, should not participate in the discussion of Russian affairs, even in timating that Poland by her present action in the conference has abro gated the treaty signed at Riga on March 18, 1921. Russia has a strong red army en camped near the Polish border and for this reason the Russian remon strances are regarded by some of the delegates as equivalent almost to a threat against Poland. Experts Compare Notes. xne experts on the Russian ques tion, sitting without the soviet dele gates, today compared notes on the new proposals presented by the Rus sian delegates at yesterday's session and decided to forward reports to their respective governments. It is expected that when the answers are received from the various capitals the powers will submit counter proposi tions to the Soviets couched In firm language in an endeavor to reach a working basis for an accord. "We cannot stay here forever," said a French delegate tonight. The French are disturbed over the man ner in which the English have inter preted Premier Poincare's address. The French spokesman made it clear that all Frenchmen are alarmed over future military possibilities of the Russo-German treaty and that M. Poincare was merely voicing France's genuine disquietude. There are certain indications here that France with her dwindling popu lation is fearful of the constantly in creasing German population united with mighty Russia. The French at citude toward Russia is des'cribed as like that of Japan toward China each wants an organized and pros perous neighbor, but does not desire that neighbor to be so strong as to loom as a possible menace. Conference Rearing Rocks. The Genoa conference is drifting toward the rocks again. Whether it lua fleam. wiieLner iti ept from wreckage depends mssibility of adjusting the! can be k on tne possiDiiity or adjusting new demands of the Russia soviet delegates with the position of the allied governments, which declare they will stand steadfastly by the resolutions adopted at Cannes, on which the conference is founded. The situation is made more critical by the French premier's frank warn ing in his address at Bar-le-Duc yes terday that France will withdraw from thn conference if she is unable to see that the Ideas -expressed by the French cabinet before parliament can triumph. These French pratical demands in clude maintenance of the war repar ations figures, disbarment of all dis armament discussions and no changing of existing treaties at Genoa. In ad dition France insists on rigid adher ence to the Cannes resolutions, which call for the payment of Russia's pre war debts and the restitution by the soviet of foreigners' property in Russia. New Proposals Impossible. The Conference of experts on the Russian question broke up yesterday and adjourned sine die because the experts representing the powers found the Russians' new set of pro posals absolutely in contradiction to the soviet note accepting the allies' terms as a basis for future deliber ations. Yesterday the bolsheviki announced their declination to restore private property because everything was na tionalized in Russia, but in their note of acceptance they voiced willingness to restore such property or Indemnify the owners provided the country's war debts to the allies were cut down and financial help for Russia forthcom ing. Instead of accepting the allies' de mands for the payment of war debts, with the understanding - that these debts be scaled down and the arrears in interest either be postponed or remitted in part, the bolsheviki had sn entirely different proposition. They asked the oomplete annullment of all war debts. Russians Ask Moratorium. Whereas they had previously agreed to tho payment of financial obliga- ons due" to foreign nationals, which Concluded oo Pae Co i tuna 2.) Michael Collins Returns to City, Ready to Resume Confer ence With Valcra. DUBLIN, April 25. (By the Asso ciated Press ) Michael Collins, head cf th6 provisional government, re turned to Dublin today from Tralee in readiness for the resumption to morrow of the conference between the adherents of the government and of Eamon De Valera looking to peace. The belief was expressed here to night tnat the protest of labor, which culminated in Monday's one-day strike, has had no effect in influencing the leaders on either side of the con troversy to yield their viewpoints. Dublin was buzzing tonight with rumors of a possible attempt to rush the Daii Eireann and "purge" it by military forces. Today the Dublin chamber of com merce, a body of mixed politics, held r. largely-attended meeting, at which deep concern was, expressed for the lack of security to life and property. Sir Horace Plunkett was the chief bpeaker. He said he thought the peo ple of the United States must be puz zled to know what is happening in Ireland at the present time. He de clared that he supported the provi sional government because it was do ing its best to obtain freedom for Ire land, it was showing high courage in this effort. The British govern ment was not responsible for the trouble: it was the Irish themselves. Sir Horace added that the present policy of some of the young men seemed to be a transfer of authority from the orb and scepter to the bay onet and the bomb. KISSING BAN ADVOCATED Church Gatherings Urged to Fro-J Tiibit Osculatory Games. MORGANTOWN, W. Va,, April 25. Church and Sunday school social gatherings should place a ban upon kissing games, such as "winkem," "postoffice" and "clap in, clap out, declared Mrs. Hobart Hall of Clarks burg, a leader of the state girls' movement, in an address here today to members of the young people's Sunday school association. The speaker pleaded that the asso ciation take some official action on the kissing question. "Girls who think they have to kiss a fellow every time he takes them home if he is to come back, have the wrong idea," she said. "Girls who are choice with their kisses are the ones who 'have all the dates," " she added. ORIENT TOURISTS WARNED 3Iinlster Advises Travelers to Keep Out of China. TOKIO. April 26.

BUSINESS DETAILS FIXED Owners of Land Willing That Deal Should Be Made. COST IS ABOUT $18,000 Building for Crippled Children to Be at Entrance to Columbia . River Highway. Ten acres at the very entrance of the famous Columbia River highway, beginning at the southeasterly corner of East Klehty-second street and Sandy boulevard, extending approxi mately 700 feet east on the boulevard, Will be the site for the Shriners" hos pital for crippled children in Portland. Announcement of the selection was made yesterday afternoon by John D. McGilvray of San Francisco and Bishop Frederick W. Keator of Ta coma, the two members of the na tional board of trustees who spent almost two days In Portland viewing sites for the location of the Shriners' hospital in this city. While the cost of the site has not been determined definitely. It will be in the neighborhood of (18,000, it was said. House oa Property. One acre of the site, which la cleared and on which a J3000 house stands. Is the property of Miss Anne Murphy, parole officer for the state board of health, and the remainder of the ten acres Is the property ot the O.-W. It & N. company. Although the construction of the home and clearing of the land owned by Miss Murphy bad been completed but a short time ago, she readily relinquished hold of her property when she found to what purpose It was Intended to put the land. It Is possible that the house will be moved and remain the property of the pres ent owner, but if this Is not done the Shrine's local trustees will put the dwelling to some use. J. D. Farrell, president of the O.-W. R. & N. company, who Is la Seattle, assisted the Shriners by re moving several serious obstacles to the transfer of the property owned by the railroad company. Negotia tions with Mr. Farrell were carried on by long-distance telephone through Arthur C. Spencer, general counsel for the company, who has his offices In Portland. - Hospital Taken Five A errs. Five acres of the property will be used for the crippled chlldrens' hospital.' the out-patient clinlo and the nurses' home. This tract will be deeded to the national board of trustees for its use as a hospital tilt. The remaining five acres will be held as property of Al Kader temple. and according to A. L. .Tctu, poten tate of the temple and one of the local trustees of the hospital, this portion of the tract will be put by the temple to some use that conforms to the work that Is being carried on by the imperial council ot the Shrine through Its hospital board. Convalescent Home Probable. j It Is altogetner probable that at some future date tne local biirincrs will erect a convalescent home, where the children discharged from the hos pital will be cared for until full strength Is regained. In announcing the selection of the site. Bishop Keator said the reason for the decision of the national com mittee was twofold, first because it affords a Blghtly. healthy locat.on. protected from the east winds by a huge butte. and removed from neigh borhood complications, and second that the site is at the very gateway of the worlds greatest highway. where not only every Portland resi dent but every visitor to this city will be certain to have an opportunity o view the hospital. Many Sites Viewed. After announcing the choice of the site the two members of the commit tee stated that they had viewed many wonderful sites, some of them twice, but the inaccessibility, location off main highways and congested neigh borhoods caused the great majority of rejections. The work of the two national com mitteemen was made comparatively easy through the many months' labor performed by the site committee of Al Kader temple, named by Potentate Tetu. This committee, composed of Mayor Baker, Hal T. Hutchinson, Dr. S. M Strohecker, Dr. M. B. Marcelius and Harry M. Euler, viewed sll sites after submission, gathered all data pertaining to each site, and made a complete compilation of all of this Information, including plat, maps for the guidance of the national com mitteemen. Task Declared Huge. Inasmuch as almost 100 sites wire submitted, the task of eliminating those that did not conform to the regulations" laid down by the nollon.i board of trustees was a huge one Tl.. site committee aieo Intervif- w-t d our ers of all trarta n r'traril to h (Concluded wu rfc A 4.
