IN PECK OF TROUBLE plit of Party Over Activities of Ku Klux Klan Makes It Diffi cult; East and South After Job. By Ralph Watsoa Those politicians, and there are a few f them. In whom the milk of human indness has not been curdled by the cidlty of past campaigns, are waiting. yrapathetically, for the coming organi- ation of the Republican state central ommittee and the election of a new late chairman. They want to commls rate with him. and to wish him well h his task of piloting the state machine hrough the Intricate mazes of the Am ending summer's political traffic Thomas H. Tongue, who has held that ob during fairly stirring times and cenes. is not to seek the uncompensated konor again, so his rrlenas relate. But omebody has to step on the gas, and. hi all probability, put on the brakes now nd then during the long run between he last of this month and the November lection. From the way things look at he present moment it will be no easy ask, but one full of trouble and grief. 1ETSCHAX ASD DEKIS Casting about tor, men of Iron con titutions and dauntless hearts to assume he burden there are those who predict hat -when the state committee meets couple of weeks or so from now, it 111 elect Phil Metschan to head it for he next two years. Others contend that liruce Dennis, old time Bull Mooser of -a Grande and present senator from 'nion county, will be the man. Still thers, thinking probably of recent de elopments in Southern Oregon politics. Iirophecy that Bert Anderson of Medford. st resigned from the game commls ;ipn, will be chosen as chairman. And, n addition to these, is Walter L. Tooze Br. of McMlnnvllle, who wants to be licked and who is now laying his plans n sjn effort to make his dreams come rue. It lias been a long time pince Southern regon had the chairmanship, one lalk ng point put forth by these who men tion Bert Anderson s name. It lias leen a long time since the Willamette alley did not have it, Tom Tongue for wo terms and Charles L. McNary before lim for one. -Eastern Oregon has been kithout the honor for a long, long period bne reasn why it is contended that Bruce Dennis should be considered fa korably now. And then, those who point to Phil Metschan as the logical selection irgue that the head man of the state organization should, for efficiency of op eration, come from Multnomah, where things center and where the state com mission holds its meetings. MgETIXGS THIS "WEEK During the coming week, in the usual prder of things, all of the county central I committees of-the state will have met land organized, elected their county hairmen, and selected, their state com- tmitteemen. Within 10 days from that true, according to the law. Chairman fTongue must call the state committee together for its organization, so that the eventful day, for whomsoever may be elected chairman, is not far removed. With the political situation stirred up as It now is, ana as 11 win continue to b& throughout the summer, it will be tio boy's-job to head the state organiza ion. When the time comes for organi- Ization there Is more than a. little reason ho be-lieve that the Stanfield faction of tthe Republican party will attempt to feain control of the committee. That alone will precipitate "a fight. THE KTJ KLl'X FICHT But more heated than that fight of inter-party factionalism will be the ef fort of the Ku Klux and Federated Pa triotic society influences, to dominate the organization. Particularly will this be true if it works out, as it is now being discussed, that an independent candidate for governor be put into the field -by the disgruntled followers of Senator Hall. Of course, the Republican state com mittee could not well support an inde pendent candidAie for governor, but there are more ways of operating such an organization i than one so that a chairman friend to the Independent candidate would Be a person much to be desiced. X Therefore, fof these reasons and others, too, the politicians are looking forward to the fcrganiation of the state com mittee with n(iore than usual antlcipa tion, expectant of excitement, and not liable to disappointment on that score Lewis Republican Delegates Named At County Session Centralia, Wash., June S- Resolutions adopted today by the Republicans of Lewis county in biennial convention in Centralia. renewed allegiance to the con stitution and the American flag, reaf firmed faith in the Republican party, indorsed the national, state and county administrations, opposed radicalism, pledged tax reduction, favored adequate wages for labor and needed legislation for farmers, expressed opposition to the Palmer proposal, demanded Immediate repeal of the poll tax, approved the work of the sta'te" highgtay commission and in dorsed the SmitSMcNary bill.

BOSS SOUGHT IN WAR FRAUD CASE (Continued From Page One) valuable hardwoods not called for in the contract. Assistant Attorney General Crim be gan working on the case months ago, soon after the war department had re ported the result of the audit to the department of justice. The case was fully prepared ? and ready for submis sion when the special grand jury began its work last Monday. The first witnesses called were the war department auditors who had probed trie Phillips contract. They brought with them voluminous records showing every detail of the government's transactions with Phiilips and verified them for the jurors. These papers were left with the jury for its consideration. Phillips, who is reputed to be very wealthy, has extensive lumber opera tions in South Georgia, where he main tains his legal residence at Thomasville. He also has a home and extensive busi ness interests in Philadelphia. For the past few years he has spent much of his time in Washington, residing at the Raleigh hotel. Until about a year ago Phillips had not appeared as a factor in Georgia Republican politics, but since that time he has been the political dictator of the party in the state. He came into promi nence and power as the outgrowth of the fight within the party that landed Henry 3 Lincoln Johnson, negro .leader, on the Republican natfonal committee. Phillips is said to have spent J40.000 of his personal funds in the past year in trying to build up a white man' party in Georgia. He has dictated practically every important appointment made in Georgia by the present administration, including such offices as United States marshals, district attorneys, revenue collectors and postmasters. Petitions in behalf of 13 real or ten tative aspirants for Georgia federal judgeships have been sent direct to Phillips. This evidences the control he has exercised in Georgia patronage mat ters since taking the party helm. Phil lips' political activities have been made the target for bitter attacks on the floor of the senate by Senator Watson of Georgia within recent weeks. HEWSEBRYISM J gjJ JOHN D.

SHADOW OF NEW WAR IS ESPIED WOUNDED MAN IS HELD AS SUSPECT Poincare's Note and Lloyd i Qld Bullet Wounds May Verify George's Warning in Recent Address Held Ominous. MAS IS BEATEX BY ROWDIES While going from his place of work to visit his brother, W. Myers. STltj fcast Pine street was assaulted Saturday night by two men thought to be longshoremen and severaly beaten about the face and kicked. London, June 3. (U. P.) The shadow of a new world war fell across the Eu ropean political horizon today. Lloyd George sounded the warning in his recent address to the house of com mons and many British and foreign dip lomats here profess alarm over the rrospect. Premier Poincare's note to the powers today regarding the Hague conference has not served to lessen the alarm. The British government is known to base much of its hopes for peace reconstruc tion of Europe upon success of this gathering. Evidence that Prance may again prove a stumbling block brought expressions of regret here. In 1914, suspicion ani greed combined to cause the Austro-German belliger ency, the Russian mobilization and other factors that led to the World war. Tension between France and Germany ever reparations heightened by France's latest note and Poincare's .speech in the chamber yesterday, in which an over whelming vote of confidence was won, added to the Russo-German agreements, might, diplomats said, start a new war, of which French occupation of the Ruhr might prove the starting gun. Rumors That Others Than Peters Were Shot by Ward. Laughlin Turns Back Legion Building Bond Vancouver. Wash., June 3. William Laughlin is the first man to respond to the suggestion that holders of Legion building bonds turn them back to the Legion in order to free the building" of this obligation and enable the finance committee of the organization to raise money for the purpose of paying off in debtedness to the amount of $30,000. A suit for more than $f2,000 has been filed against the building and other suits are pending. With the building free from the bond obligation. Legion officials say, it will be easy to raise money, as the property is worth more than $100,-000. E. 6. Caufield Not to Seek Senatohip Oregon City, June 3. E. G. Caufield, nominated by the Democrats of Clack amas county for state senator, will not be a candidate, In a letter to J. E. Jock, chairman of the party's county central committee, he made known his decision today. Caufield was nominated by writing in his name in accordance with a decision reached by Democrats prior to the primaries. At the time he was away. His move leaves the field clear for F. J. Tooze, Republican nomi nee. His action will probably come up for discussion at the Democratic ban quet to be held here Tuesday evening. ( By L'tKerse SsrTlce) White Plains X. Y., June 3. Dis trict Attorney Weeks of Westchester county was i5tified by telephone from Phildelphia thavthe police of that city had picked up aan who gave his name as John Cionzo, jkho is now in a hos pital theree. "Mystery Jack," as he has come to be known, was taken into custody after he had fought off three 1olicemen for more than an hoor. He was suffer ing from two bullet wounds. Search of his belongings revealed a book dealing with tthe Ward Baking company, of which the senior Ward is president and the junior Ward vice president. Whether this is the man Cunningham says was shot at the same time Peters was slain is what officials are going to determine. Cionzo says he received the wounds in a quarrel at Greenburg, Pa., where he says he was working for the Republic Coal & Iron company. Re ports from Greenburg said there was no company there by that name. There is speculation as to whether Cunning ham, alias "Jimmy the Rat," will be called to appear before the grand jury. Officials know that habitues of New York's underworld fear that Canning him is going to make a full "squeal" that will involve them. It is believed that Cunningham is in a position to clear up the entire mystery if he cares to. George..S. Ward, millionaire father of the self confessed slayer, has been sum moned before the grand Jury ia an effort to clear up the story of James- J, Cun ningham, so called race track tout, who claims that the elder Ward was the tar get of blackmailers and that the younger Ward was acting as the go-between. Mrs. Walter S. Ward .and two of her servants. Lulu Barrows and Amy Mild, have also been supedaed to appear before the grand jury to explain whether or not. to their knowledge young Peters was slain in the Ward home the night of May 16. The American Legion building at St. Maries was dedicated last Monday with appropriate ceremonies. Five hundred persons attended a banquet in the evening. Chicago, June 3. (U. P.) Allah has spoken John D. Rockefeller tonight put the marriage of his baby granddaughter, Mathilde McCormick, under the ban., Harold F. McCormick bowed to the edict of the oil master when h with drew, temporarily, consent to the mar riage of his daughter, Mathilde, to Max Oser, Swiss stableman. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, di vorced wife of the former head of the International Harvester company and daughter of the world's richest man, won a victory when McCormick said : Til investigate the charges that Oser is a fortune hunter. , And in the meantime I will withdraw consent to the marriage. COCRT ACTIOX ESSED Upon the declaration of -McCormick, the case of McCormick vs. McCormick was jerked from the probate court to the "Gold Coast," home of the former Harvester head. And there, according to frlenda of the family, McCormick promised his former wife that the 17-year-old Mathilde would not marry Oser, 27 years her senior, for three years. Court action was abruptly ended just before McCormick and his wife' were to appear. Mrs. McCormick had asked pro bate court, which had appointed her re cent husband guardian of Mathilde, to restrain the marriage of the girl and Oser. Dismissal of the case from court, made at the instance of Mrs. McCormick. car ried with it -the admonition of Probate Judge Henry Horner, who said : "I expect Mr. McCormick, both as guardian and parent, to faithfully exe cute his trust. Mr. McCormick should take into consideration all the points raised by Mrs. McCormick." Edwin Cassels, attorney for McCor mick. concurred with the judge, and said he would so advise his client. In the fight between the members of the divided house of McCormick, many believe that Mrs. ,McCormick has played the cards given -her by John D. Rocke feller, her father. Rockefeller, in public utterances, has said : "No foreigner will marry Into my family." i Thus Max Oser; temporarily at least, takes the "count."
