Hazeitine. division director, and Hoy C. Lyle, j state director of the federal prohibi- ; lion forces, want to know just what j iv.lut-iii J Rmwn mavor meant when ' he said that their official staff in cluded "crooks and incompetents." Use of these words was ascribed to the mayor by a Seattle newspaper in connection with his instructions to Chief of Police Severyna not to allow prohibition officers to put prisoners in the city jail. State Director Lyle returned to Seattle today from some out-of-town work and said he would join with Hazeltine in formal demand on the mayor for an explanation both of the language alleged to have been used and uf his denial of ac cess tu the jail. Mayor More Explicit. On this phase of the complicated controversy in which he and his yd ministration suddenly have be come involved, the mayor today undertook to be somewhat more ex plicit, making the direct charge that n federal prohibition agent's pris oner, held incommunicado in the city juil. hurl been promptly released on payment of a sum of money to Bert Xortlirup, law partner of Yv M. AVhiLney, assistant state prohibition director. "I am going- to take care of the prohibition agents when I have a little more time." said the mayor. "In fact, I am going to lay a urood deal of evidence before the grand jury that these agents will find hard to digest." Vice W itness Listed. Mayor Brown was much engaged today in preparing a list of persons whom he has asked the grand jury to examine with reference to the charge that Seattle again has been surrendered to the clutches of vice. Heading the mayor's list are the names of his chief clerical critics, liev. Chauncey Hawkins, Rev. Her bert I. Cbatterton and Kev. George V. McClure. Others on the list are the proprietors of the dance halls whose activities precipitated the present row, Will 11. Morris, a local attorney; Major Harry L. Kays, sec retary of the Associated Industries of Seattle, and numerous police of ficers and detectives. Mayor Lied. Says Pastor. Dr. Hawkins is out of town today, but Mr. Chatterton and Mr. McClure somewhat gleefully declared their readiness to go before the grand jury and tell all they know. Mr. Chatterton vigorously denied that he ever had told Mayor Brown that the federation of churches had started the crusade against the dance halts in order to rehabilitate it s failing financial strength. "As to that, the mayor lied with out excuse or extenuation," sai.0 Mr. Chatterton, today, "I told the mayor enough to justify action on his part and enough to i-onvince myself that he did not want to do anything. 1 will tell the grand jury all of it." "Mayor Krown knows all about the situation," said Mr. McClure. "He knows he. can get all the evidence he wants. Tailing- us before the snnid jury looks to mo like camou flage on his part, but you bet I'll go." (jranri Jury BeronvrafN.

An unsigned letter of warning, supporting the Ku Klux Klan, was received Mon day by every member of the board of aldermen and the grand jury in vestigating the klan's activities in New York. It bore the beading, "Keep America Protestant' and was worded in a way. to keep within the law that forbids the sending of threats through the mail. The letter began with an attack against the Catholic church and anti-Catholic statements attributed to Abraham Lincoln were quoted. "Mayor Hylan's letter to the police to hunt down the klansmen and 'treat them as you would reds and bomb-throwers.' " --says the letter, "is proof that the Roman Catholic hierarchy believes itself now strong enough to institute its diabolical system of inquisition in America." The general opinion of those re ceiving copies of the letter was that it did not come from the klan, but from a crank. Governor Olcott of Oregon, whose defeat for re-election last month was attributed in part of the klan's activities, was in New York Monday. en route to the conference of gov ernor's at "White Sulphur Springs. W. Va December 14-15-16. He wilt tell the conclave of governors that he considers the klan the greatest menace to the country's welfare. Governor Olcott denounced the Oregon compulsory school law, whirh. asserted, was forced oh the state by the klan, which is now working, he said, to have it enacted hi every state in the union. The law forces every child resident in the state to attend a public school, thus doing away with private and denominational schools of all kinds. He said the law was not originated by the klan but by a small group of Scottish Rite Masons. Kalania Business Transferred. - KALAMA, Wash., Dec. 12. (Spe cial.)
