The court decision which freed the Indians from legal restraint was made public last Monday in a habeas corpus proceedings before circuit Judge Leavitt. With the county and state laws nullified by the decision and with no federal laws -in existence dealing with the lesser crimes, drunkeness, gambl ing and the: like, the Indians arc free to commit minor crimes and are safe from arrest so long as they remain on the reservation and do not commit felonies Dis trict Attorney E. L. Elliott said. Fear that safety of white resi dents on the reservation was men aced; was expressed by Elliott who said that if the demonstrations continued he would be forced to ask that the United States offi cers be sent from Portland, or that local peace officers be -empowered to act as. United States deputies.

"Something must be done, and done quickly, or some one is go ing to-be hurt." V Klamath Falls automobile deal ers are also worried because un der the ruling they fear they can not collect for cars sold on condi tional sales contracts. In the opinion of Attorney El liott, all Indian divorces recently granted by local courts are illegal and not binding, because not granted by United States jurists.

The rainbow extended from east to west across the sky, and was caused, Mr. McAdams said, by light from both the sua and moon, striking particles of moisture suspended in the atmos phere.

HERRJN CHECKS LIST-OF DEAD; 1 ELECTION 1 FEARED factional strife matt come to Head on Tuesday Precaution Taken for Coming Election; 19 Killed Since February, 1 924 HERRIN, IlLv April 14. (By Associated Press.) Tallying on death's scoreboard the results of the sixth inning of its civil war, Herrin viewed with foreboding to day an approaching city election next Tuesday, and appealed to mil itary force to remain in control, of the city until the vote is taken. A county and state primary yes terday was the occasion of a re newal of the factional strife which had been dormant since thousands of residents of the community "got religion" in a revival meeting 11 months ago, and six men died in a gun battle in front of a voting place at the Masonic hall. While Mayor Marshall McCor- mick was appealing to national guard officers to keep militiamen In .the city until" next Tuesday's municipal election is over. Coroner George Bell bf Williamson county. reached the scene and called - an inquest for" Friday over the corpses or the slain yesterday. isacn lacuon the fcian group ana'tne anti-klan force has- three dead in the latest episode of Her rin's long tragedy, and 19 have died In the civil war since Febru ary, $924. Yesterday's shooting marked the sixth time the factions had, "shot it out" in 26 months. Of the 19 fatalities, ten victims have been klansmen and nine anti klansmen. Bitter enmities arising out of liquor raids led by the late S. Glenn Young more than two years ago are blamed specifically by friends of the klan victims for the shooting. Mayor McCormick called the mo tive" revenge on the part of boot leggers and others." Mrs. Ben Sizemore, widow of one of the slain klansmen and an eye witness, said the assailants avowedly intended to kill John Ford, former police chief, and re ported cyclops of the Herrin klan, whose brother Is one of the dead. Ford has declined to talk until he faces the coroner's jury. Arlo O. Boswell, state's attorney and a klansman, said the shootings were purely for the purpose of intimi dating voters," and declared they would, -not -have happened -'tif the mayor, chief of police and sheriff had donetheir duty." Oren Coleman, the candidate en dorsed by the klan, was nominated for sheriff by the republicans with a large plurality oyer six oppon ents. He is a former school teach er and a war veteran. ... It was believed tonight that the guardsmen, in Herrin for the eighth time in four years, will re rVSLVl for another week, and con ABV Bideration is being given to Mayor McCormick's plea that a tew guardsmen be posted indefinitely in the town. The mayor expressed the . belief that neither faction would fire upon a uniformed sol dier. . The mayor told today of refus ing, early yesterday, offers cf dep uty sheriffs from Sheriff George Galligan, avowed anti-klansman. He feared, he said, that the send ing of deputies would "add fuel to the fire," and Galligan agreed. No arrests had been made tonight (Continued out pe 8.) ANDREWS GIVES H ON BOOZE Grand M arshal of Prohibi -tion Forces Testifies at Senate Hearing DISCUSS SALE OF BEER Andrews of Opinion That Sale of Non-intoxicating Beer Would Improve Prohibition Conditions WASHINGTON, April 14. (AP) An opinion that the sale of non-intoxicating beer- under the strictest , sort of government control would improve conditions under ,r prohibition f ,was drawn from assistant Secretary Andrews of the treasury today by the wets during testimony i by , the senate liquor committee, i 4 , On the etand for-another two hours, the official; in charge of federal,., prohibition enforcement would noTMCommit himself on the sale of light, wines because he was not, prepared to say. that non intoxicatlhg wines could be pro duced. Contending for consumption of beer only in the home or in high class hotels and restaurants, Gen erai Andrews declared that the sale of beer in saloons would be "disastrous" to prohibition en forcement as the saloons could be used as blinds for the dispensing oi nara liquors. He conceded there was a great deal of distilling in private homes and agreed with Senator Reed. democrat, Missouri, the one wet member of the committee that this must lead to a breakin&r down of the morals of families so en gaged. The grand marshal of th nmtii. bition forces thought this whole situation was one call ins: for in tense study. He also aereed with his wet questioners that as long as his forces dried up the sources of commercial supply, distilling in i.ae nome proDabiy would Increase. .Before General Andrews left the stand he took issue with the statement recently given to the committee by District Attorney nucKner, or xvew York, that 60, 000,000 gallons of alcohol is dl verted to bootleggers yearly. "Our best figures are that dur ins iasi year rrom 13,000,000 to iD.uuo.uoB gallons were diverted," he said. " I think Mr. Bickner's statement was based information and also on lack of lmormauon. Alter Mr. Andrews left the stana tne treasury sent to con gress a supplemental estimate 'if 12,293,000 to carry on prohibj "u euiorcemeni next year with. an explanation that when the orig iaai estimate was submitted the new organization set for enforce ment naa not begun to function fully.
