Mr. Cleaver said that the affi

davits in his records were copies
who earlier in the hearing had
denied ever seeing them. Victor

more than $800 in filing 30 cases,
of which 27 were dismissed and
three resulted in acquittals.

man, Walker and one other whose
name he had forgotten. Mr. Cleav
er met at his own home to look
over evidence obtained by Wein
berg against federal agents and
Dr. Linville. federal director for
the state, he told the committee.
He was unable to explain why two
lump. sums of $.00 each in June
and a similar amount in July were
turned over to Mr. Hemic and
not given to Weinberg until be
tween July 23 and August 1. This
was up to Mr. Herwig. he said.
Statement Is Head
ptr. Cleaver's statement was
reed to the committee by Senator
Garland, chairman, before he was
questioned for the last time. A
copy had been submitted to the
governor but he had not heard
whether or not the executive ap
proved. Mr. Herwig had not Rpen
a copy nor had any member of the
committee.
Some counties failed to report
in, time to be included in the bl
euinial report and some minor er
rors, which were in favor of the
report, the statement said. Criti
cism directed toward total arrests
and fines are exaggerated and al
most wholly untrue, because of
the fact that there are 50 state
agents, some volunteers without
pay. and when the report: was
printed less than 20 of the 50
had reported. The full report
covered 1 1 large sheets, and : is
given only in part.
Kfioit Sincere i
"To injure anyone's feelings by
the publication of field reports
which come to me properly signed
by the agents was the last thing
I dreamed of,": the report con
tinued. "The whole report has been
picked at by discharged employes.
and branded as a pack of false-1
hoods from cover to cover, by i
enemies of this department, but
1 am sure your committee recog
nizes it as a sincere effort to re
cord the activities of the state pro
hibition department, and that the
small errors which it may contain
are unintentional. -
"Pioneering ; a department of !
this character by a person with no
previous experience as an oificer.
has been no small undertaking,
and it was perfectly natural and
proper for me to seek and; con
nect with those who were experi
enced in such work.
Herwig Claimed Law
"I had heard W. J. Herwig say
many times that the new prohibition-commission
law had been
sponsored by his organization an
I therefore assumed-that it wi"
an anti-saloon measure, although
fathered in the legislature by Sen
ator Eddy.
"As to the policies established
for the state prohibition office
and announced by the governoj.
from
time-to time I believe them
to
be largely the policies of the
league, although other law en-
in
forcement agencies were also con- j
suited in the. matter. J
"Mr. Herwig very kindly ac-
companied me to visit Dr. Lin
ville. Sheriff Hurlburt, Stanley
Myers. Chief of Police Jenkins and
others I was already very well
acquainted with Mrs. Mary Mal
lette of the WCTl. and had met
V. L. Gilford of the Klan.
Klan Start Fight
"I mention the Klan because
they claimed to be principally in
terested in law enforcement, and
yet they were the first to start a
fight against me.
"I started out with the idea
that the Klan should be included
in the cooperative plan for the
prohibition department and the
enforcement of the liquor laws.
"I recommended for employ
ment two men
endorsed by the j
Klan leaders and they were both eonne. ' ooenert tne Hour and a
impossible, as admitted by their ' quarter program. Rich in vari
Mr. Kletzing in his testimony be-jstions. the theme was all given in
fore your committee; but In spile the first four measures. With
of this knowledge the Klan organ,
The Western American, then edit- !
ed by Lem A. Dever, started the
fight on the governor, on me and j
my agents and the prohibition de
partment, which later became the
regular sport of the leading dail
ies of Oregon.
Kx-Service Men F.m ployed
"I do not know, however, that
the men selected for work In 1923
are all ex-Fervloe men, as most of
the regular officers have been in
the past.
"The difficulty of gettine high
das men to act as prohibition
agents must be apparent to your i
committee after hearing the evi-
dence submitted in this investiga
tion, and the salary allowable un
der the present limited funds must
necessarily be too small to attract
men of wide experience or educa
tion. "The practice of using state
stars without a commission signed
bv the governor, has bepn discon
tinued and was only used on the
assumption that a state officer
ha the right to deputize tempor
ary help.
No Fralllill)s, Allowed
"I have been accused of tryinar
to "ret". public officials and i
must call your attention' to the
iflil iiini tuc iiiuuri ii oik u i ii. a it t j
upe of the word "get" in such a!
connection means "frame." or go!
to any limit to manufacture evi-
dence. The use of the powers of j
this office or its agents to enter'
into such an illegitimate scheme!
against any person, official or
private citizen is hereby positively
denied; but if complaints continue
to come in from respected and
law-abiding citizens that officials
of county or state are violating
the prohibition laws, 'such com
plaints will have the full and en
ergetlc attention of the prohibi
tion office as long as I, am pro
hibition commissioner. '
"Much has been said about the
provision of the law wbicn puts
the burden of cooperation on the
local of'lcer. but it should not be
changed for the very same reason
that if you remove the option
which the commissioner now has
as of sending agents into any
covntv without notice you will
weaken he law materially.
Many Have Friends ,
"f have already pretty well
i covered the question of employes,
but .some of rthose discharged have
hadpowerfirl friends and have ex
ercised every means at their com
mand to discredit me and have
me removed for reasons easily dis
cerned by yonr committee.
"These efforts have gone so far
that my office has been picketed
for months at a time, my agents
.followed all over the state, and
even my telephone tapped, as
shown by testimony of Mr. Kletz-
n r rf tha Winn ri pt trt ivn nrrani.
zation. in order to dWredit and
get control of the prohibition de
partment. Klionld Change Law
"The law should be changed to
give the commissioner more of
working fund; even if the limit
were taken off the 25 per cent pro
vision left as it Is it would be a
wonderful help. There should he
a provision for the disposition of
unavoidable income, but the pro-
vision for cooperation should not
be changed. f
''What very little political activ
ity my records show I take all the
responsibility for and hav po
apologies to make I did want

record and take all the blame for
the mistakes of this department
and only ask for my share of the
