STORY OF RAID ISTig Two Spanish Brothers Des cribe Seizure by Masked Men. Threats and Long Ride Through Hills. WOMAN CRIES FOR ) KLEAGLE IN COURT Talk of Ropes and Trees Not Pleasant to Ears of Twp Prisoners , LOS ANGELES Aug. 9.-The story of the raid at Inglewood on April 22 last iWas related today by the victims in the trial of 37 al ieged Ku Klux Klansmen who are alleged to have taken part in the affair. Fidel and Matias Elduayen, brothers, testiried they were dragged f rpm their house partly clothed late, at night, carried about in an automobile , for two hours, threatened, and finally set free she iles from their home. She Cries for Kleagle. The testimony, given through a Spanish interpreter, was twice; in terrupted by unusual incidents, the first being the clearing, ot the court room because of a burst of laughter from the spectators over a'n 'answer by one of the witnesses. The trial bad j nst been resumed when a young , woman spectator began to sob violently. As a bailiff was leading her from the room she became hysterical ' and screamed: : "I want to see a kleagle." Matrons who examined her at the county jail said they found a package containing a habit form ing drug in her, handbag. She was, sent to the psycopathic ward of the county hospital for observa tion. , Says Revolver! Used. , Matias Elduayen's testimony was to the effect that three, men seized and bound him at fhe door of his homeland forced him into an automobile at the point, of a revolver, Fidel being taken in the same machine on the ride ; about the countryside; which included visits to two police stations and futile attempts to have the pris oners locked up. Matias' cross examination consisted largely of negative answers to question whether he had sold liquor to his captors before they bound him. Matias also denied he told bis captors that he had paid' 1 500 to a federal official for ,protection,, $1200 to a county official and 1700 to, en. unnanied person for the same purpose. , ; Bedroom Entered. ; Fi.de! Elduayen said t. he , was aroused the night of the raid .by the, entrance , oi "many masked men" Into the bedroom where he and his wife were asleep. The intruders, he said, " pointed re volvers at him and asked him to get up. He was taken .out clad only in overalls, he declared, and bound, after which he was. taken on the trip previously described by his brother i "During the trip," Fidel said, "the men who were with us asked me where my boiler was. I told them I had none and they could go back and search my ranch from end to end tor one it they wanted to. . Then they threatened to kill me. I heard them talking about a rope and said; 'that tree won U ; $Q The other tree is higher. After that they took us back to Inglewood, then to the hills, where they let us go." 1 Both brothers said they under-, stood, English slightly but could not. express themselves - in that language- Matias?was questioned closely about his knowledge of English while under cross-exaina- tion but insisted he knew pnly a tew words. He said he, knew, what his , captors meant . .when they asked him f'where Is the still? be cause of the resemblance ot the word rstill" to Us Spanish equival ent "estiladore.'

ELK TOOTH FAD CAUSES HERD HAVOC Department ' of Agriculture Requests that Charms no ' Longer be Purchased WASHINGTON. Aug. 9. (By the Associated Press.) Don't buy elk teeth for watch charms, stick pins or . other ornaments, is the plea ot the department of agricul ture, for the price of each pair of such teeth is the life of a mem ber of the country's smalt and fast diminishing herds. They are very pretty ornaments. and for many years have been used by Indians, especially the squaws, for. that purpose; but the difference Is that the " Indians need only the teeth from animals slaughtered for food and their hides, while the white man kills the elk, extracts the two teeth and waste3 the rest. Thousands of bull elk have been killed In the Yellowstone park region by hunters who il legally . poach upon the govern ment preserves, and, despUe the vigilance of rangers and guards. shoot down the elk in all seasons merely for the teeth. The fash ion of wearing these bits of bone as watch charms, cuff links, stick . pins, and bat pins has been stead ily growing as the once vast herds of elk dwindle and vanish and are threatened with entire extinction, according to the bio logical survey. The. hunters re ceive high prices for the teeth. , A few years ago the wearing of aigrettes for hat trimming threatened the annihilation of one of the most beautiful birds, but through aroused public opinion a halt was caused in time" to save the birds. Unless the market for elk teeth is curbed before it is too late, it is declared, it will mean -the t extermination of elk. A fuller understanding of the his tory and price paid tor elk teeth will have an influence In depreci ating the market and thus remov ing the incentive for, this wanton slaughter, the department feels.

The school officers have been looking almost every day for the arrival of the call for bids on the new structure. They hope to have the work begun In time for the build ing to be complete before winter sets in. The historic cid Brewer hall, named after Davd Brewer, for so many years the (tactical main stay of the school, is to be re moved, and the new dormitory erected in its place.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY T SUIT IS FILED Independence Citizens Again Challenge Rights of High way Commission DALLAS, Or., Aug. . (Spe cial to The Statesman.) An other chapter in the now famous road case between the city of In dependence and the state highway commission and the Polk county court has been begun with the filing ot another injunction by citizens of that community against the highway commission and the county court, petitioning for an injunction against the court from selling $40,000 worth of bonds to raise funds to pay for the grading of the West Side hlga way between Yamhill county and Benton county Jines. Irregularity Claimed The plaintiffs allege in their complaint that the special . elec tion called by the Polk county court in 1919 for the purpose of voting bonds for hard surface road work in this county was not done in a proper manner. The sale Of the bonds was sup posed to have been made at the term of court on . August 2, hut owing to a small. Irregularity in the publishing of the notice ask ing for bids on the bonds, the sale was called off. Salem-DallAA Road Sean Finish Just what will, be the outcome of the affair Is-ard to determine, but it certainly looks that, as far as the West Side highway is con- jcerned in 'Polk county, it may be years before it is completed. The injunction, however, does not af fect the Dallas-Salem highway, which is rapidly nearing comple tion, and it will be but a week more before that stretch of road Way is completely hard surfaced. A few weeks ago a suit was de cided by' the supreme court In a case brought by Independence citizens whereby they enjoine the county court from using mar ket road money for paying for the grading on the West Side highway, and the case was decid ed in their favor. The decision not only affected the road situ ation in Polk county but in seve ral otber counties in the state. Dallas Well Satisfied In the several cases filed against the highway commission and the Polk county court the citizens of Dallas have taken no part, their interest in the road situation ceasing when the legis lature gave the highway comrais won tne right to choose the routes which should be hard surfaced and designated as state nignways, .ana. as. a consequence Dallas now has? one route to the outer world which can be trav eled the - year around with com fort. me roaa to Salem.
