BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Washington, l. c. May 22.
(Special.) The result of the Oregon
primaries in the case or the governor
ship makes it certain that the Ku
Klux Klan and a series of affiliated
religious questions will continue at
the front in Oregon And will have
considerable effect on the November
elections, and the Ku Klux Klan is
going to be a major political issue in
at least one other state.
In the Oregon primary Hall was
the candidate of the so-called "fed
erated patriotic 'societies." His oppo
nent, the present governor, Olcott,
was supported by those elements in
Oregon who look upon the Ku Klux
Klan as undesirable and regard in
trusion of religious questions into
politics as deplorable. The closeness
o the result makes, it certain that
these questions will be carried into
tiie November election and makes it
possible for a democratic governor
to be elected in this normally strong
republican state.
Other Organizations Active.
It is not merely the Ku Klux Klan
that is active in Oregon politics. The
Kian's purposes are helped by other
organizations that ordinarily are on a
much higher plane and do not com
monly take an active part in politics.
Under the name of the "federated
patriotic societies" these organiza
tions are directing their energy,
among other things, against the Cath-
' olic parochial schools. The federated
patriotic societies are backing an
. amendment to the constitution which
than compel every child to attend the
public schools through the primary
grades.
Parenthetically, one of the Oregon
results throws light on some othe
issues. The Oregon representative,
C. N. McArthur, who represents the
district that includes the city of
Portland-, was one of the compara
tively few men in congress who op
posed the soldier bonus. For this he
was opposed in the primary by the
American Legion. Mr. McArthur also
had opposition from the Ku Klux
Klan and from labor. In spite of this
he was carried through te a remark
able success by the favor in which
ho was held for his known indepen
dence. Klan Also Texas Inane.
The other state in which the Ku
Klux Klan figures in politics to a de
gree difficult for outsiders to realize
in Texas. In this state one of the
veteran senators. Charles A. Culber-s-n,
is a candidate for re-election.
He has declared against the Ku Klux
K!an as a menace to civil law and
ciganized society. One of Senator
Culberson's opponents has come rti;
with a speech in which he indorses
arid praises the Ku Klux Klan in ec
static language. The man who takes
this position is not an unknown nor
an erratic radical noi a provincial.
H is Robert L. Henry, who has spent
20 years in the lower house of con
gress and is one of the five or six
democratic leaders and members of
the important committer on rules.
In Texas the activies of the Ku
Klux Klan seem to be less exclusive
ly religious than in Oregon. In Texas
the klan has made itself a kind of
social censor of personal conduct,
especially in matters concerning what
is occasionally described as the moral
cede.
A man whose conduct is regarded
as reprehensible receives a formal
notice from the local klan calling at
tention to his alleged derelictions and
demanding that he remove himself to
another county. Failure to take ac
tion on this warning is followed by
'an official visit from the klan a
midnight abduction to the country
and 75 lashes on the bare skin.
The power the Ku Klux Kian has
come to have in Texas is one of the
chief issues in the state's politics.
PRIMARY EXPENSES VARY
conduct. City Recorder Farnham
ruled this morning when White
pleaded guilty.
White, who had been in Bend for
the last two weeks, was arrested
when Billy Panquick, Piute, arrived
in the city in quest of his wife, who
had accompanied White to Bend from
the Warm Springs reservation he told
the police. White was picked up a
few minutes later, and before long
Grace Panquick, graduate of the
Chemawa school, was at the Jail to
find out how It happened.
Questioned as to his amours White
admitted bringing Grace to' Bend from
the reservation. "Didn't you know it
was wrong to take another man's
wife?" Police Chief Willard Houston
asked him. "She never told me," was
White's only reply.
HARRY HUN1GUTT INDICTED
f
PLOTTEll IS . CHARGED WITH
THEFT OP JEWEIiERY.
Man Who Schemed With Mrs.
Zuiderdnin to Put Husband Out
of Way to Be Tried.
Harry Hunicutt, who plotted with
Mrs. Irene Zuiderduin to have the
womait's husband, A. L. Zuiderduin,
put out of the way so that their love
would have free rein, was indicted
by the Multnomah county grand Jury
yf:'erday for the burglary of which
the pair accused Zuiderduin.
About $500 worth of jewelry was
stolen from the Brown Mercantile
company, 171 First street, on the
night of June 24, 1921, and the, crime
went down In police records as one
of the unsolved to which no clew had
been found. Six weeks ago, Mrs.
Zuiderduin appeared at police head
quarters to give the officers informa
tion which led to the arrest of her
husband. She accused him of the
robbery and produced goods stolen at
that time to prove her tale.
Arrested, Zuiderduin disclaimed any
knowledge of the crime and his pro
testations of Innocence rang so sin
cere that the police inspectors delved
further into the case, reaching a con
clusion that the woman was not tell-J
ing the truth. Confronted by hard
eyed, skeptical officers, Mrs. Zuider
duin finally broke down and blurted
out the truth that she and Hunicutt
were endeavoring to fasten the crime
on Zuiderduin so that he might no
longer be a bar to their happiness.
Hunicutt was arrested and accused
of the crime. Circumstantial evidence
was strong and Hunicutt is said to
have confessed to the original crime
and the plot which followed.
Other indictments returned yester
day were: Hugh Rosebrook, forgery;
Lawrence W. Tucker, larceny; Adam
Wiegant, receiving stolen property,
and Le Roy Morgan, assault with a
dangerous weapon.

ROSEBURG, Or.. May 22. (Special.)
The official count for the recent pri
mary election will start tomorrow
morning, J. E. McClintock of Rose
burg and Benton Mires of Drain, being
appointed judges.
The official count is not expected
to make any great change in the un
official totals as reports gathered by
telephone tally very closely with those
kept by the county clerk. Some dis
tricts' failure on the part of election
officials to return statements has pre
vented the county clerk from making
any official tally while one precinct
has no record whatever of its vote
and locked everything inside the bal
lot box. Only six votes were cast,
however, so the results will not be
materially altered.

police inspectors last night that $1800
had been stolen from his bedroom
about noon yesterday. He said that
J600 of the money belonged to friends
who had entrusted it to him for safe
keeping.
George Koltrick, or George Corage
another Austrian, was said by Sugura
to be the thief, and police are looking
for him. Mrs. Sugura said she saw
Koltrick leave the bedroom a short
time before her husband discovered
the money was gone from the trunk
that served as a bank. She thought
nothing of it at the time because Kol
trick was often a guest there.
The money was all in bills. Kol
trick is thought to have taken a train
for California. He had been living at
a downtown hotel, but left at 2:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
