In Marion county's own limfts
there has been a grist of boouou

In providing a solution of the
problem, the county officials state
that this wou'd not reduce the

Johnson Resents Impres
sions That Masons Are
Associated Body
ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Sept. 20.
The Ku Klux Klan was denounced
as destructive of free government
peace and harmony, by W. F.
Johnson, grand master of the Cen
tennial Grand lodge of .Missouri.
Ancient Freo and Accepted Ma
sons, in an address at the lodge's
; annual convention today.
"As the impression seems to
prevail in some sections," h de
clared, "that the Masonic frater
nity is directly or indirectly asso
ciated with this (Ku Klux Klan)
secret organization, it is well :hat
the seal of disapproval be positive
ly placed by this grand lodge upon
j this secret organization.
"We cannot as Fee Masons and
good citizens recognize tho rieht
of any secret society or combina
tion of men to assume the right to
administer law and to inflict pun
ishment on their fellow men. Such
an assumption Is subversive of
our republican institutions, con.
trary to the great principles of
Free Masonry.
""i crgantzatlon that practices
censorship of private conduct be
hind the midnight anonymity
mask and robe, and enforces its
secret decrees with whips and tar
and feathers must ultimately
merit and receive the condemna
tion of those who believe in
courts, open justice and good citi
zenship." GALLOWS AGAIN IS
LOOMING FOR TWO
(Continued from page 1.)
Sheriff Taylor was fired by Hart,
who has paid the death penalty,
the courts have held Ilathie and
Owens equally guilty.
"We have carefully consider
ed the petition of the defendants
for a rehearing and are unable
therefrom to find any substantial
reason for deviating from the
views expressed In the original
opinion." says Justice McBride in
the opinion.
Error Not Controlling.
"It is true that by inadvert
ence It was stated that Edward J.
Clark, an attorney, of Pendleton,
was a non-resident bf the county,
but in view of what wre consider
the weight of affidavit testimony
introduction on the motion for a
change of venue, we do not look
upon the fact as controlling. The
motion was heard before a judge
who had resided in the county for
many years and who by his long
residence and necessary acquain
tance over . the ..county . was well
qualified to pass upon the con
dition of the public mind and
to appraise the value of the tes
timony introduced relating to this
matter.
Trial Held Fair.
"The other matters urged in
the petition for rehearing were
carefully considered before the
original opinion was handed
down, and, as before remarked,
we see no reason to change our
views. We fully appreciate the
serious consequences of our de
cision, but these consequences are
such as the defendants have in
voked by their conduct and
which we cannot avert without
doing violence to established
principles of the law. The de
fendants. In our judgment, had a
fair trial; and anyone who reads
the record will see that they were
ably and faithfully defended. So
viewing the ase. we are con
strained to deny the petition for
rehearing, and it is so ordered."
Court Further Upheld.
In another onlnion in the same
case Justice McBride upheld the
lower court which dismissed a
petition for rehearing on grounds
of "coram nobis," which is a le
gal term for a certain kind of
error. It is held that this no
longer obtains in Oregon law.

-While but two su'ts will be ill-!
ed at once, it is probable that oth

property on Fair Grounds road
upon which certificates of delin
quency have been Issued. :
It will be recalled that paving
on Fair Grounds road was begun
during the year Harley O. White
was mayor of the city and that
several conferences were held with
property owners before sufficient
signers were on the petition to en.
ab'e the city to go ahead wltii
the paving,

It is also understood that a
number of property owners own-!
ing property abutting on Fair
grounds road have a grievance to
the extent that the paving costs
were exactly as agreed upon at
the time they s gned the petition
for paving.
With the city employing spec
ial attorneys to begin foreclosure
proceedings on fair grounds road
property as well as other property
for delinquency In payment or
street Improvements, it Is thought
that within a short time there will
be a solution of this vexing city
problem. '

the petition be corrected and pre
sented at this meeting there
would be the usual delays in ad
vertising and calling for bids, and
before all this could be done the
paving season would be over.
However, those interested in pav
ing have not as yet determined
whether to ' present ra - corrected

next meeting. October '3, or . let
the matter drop until early next

Wives Xsmn Omitted
The difficulty with the last pe
tition was due to the fact that
many men signed in favor of the
petition but did not take the
trouble to have their wives sign,
yet the property was of record in
the name of. the husband and
wife. For example: A. Mattson
signs for his property, but the
records show that the property
is ia the name of Andrew Matt
son and Rose Mattson. To make
the petition legal both should
have signed.

was notified today that the su
preme court of the United States
had set for October 17 hearing on
the petition of Takiyi Yamashita

were not citizens. The two Jap
anese brought mandamus proceed

whether the highest court would
try the case on its merits. If
the matter is reviewed, he added.

South Africa Representative
Thinks Americlan Claims
Can Be Satisfied
GENEVA. Sept. 20. Lord Rob
ert Cecil, representing South Af
rica, after indicating to the po
litical commission jot the league
of nations assembly today that
he thought the American clainw
an mandates could be satisfied,
withdrew his demand that the
terms of the A and 11 mandates
bs fixed at once, j
It was pointed out that the A
mandates were sol tied up with
the treaty of Sevres that it would
be impossible to proceed immedi
ately to adopt them. But Lord
Robert insisted that the B man
dates concerning the former German-African
colonies could be
fixed at once. : j
H. .A. L- Fisher jot Great Brit
ain said that the: council could
not accept a suggestion by the
assembly to adopt! the mandate!
as proposed while . negotiations
were going on between the nlted
States and the four mandatories.:
Lord Robert replied that It was1
a question of taking into account
the suggestions uf the' United
States. The council could-boldly
modify the mandates, he said, in .
the sense indicated, by the United
States and give the territories the
status of which they were so much
In need. Mr. Fisher insisted that
the council would! refuse such a
suggestion. 1
After Mr. Fisherl
Great Britain,
M. Raynal, Francej. and M. Boul
let. Belgium, had assured the com
mission that their governments
would give the mandates commis
sion every facility for scrutinis
ing the administration of the ter
ritories under- tnandate. Lord
Robert withdrew j his resolution,
