K
to Bring Suit. Against Sam
Frederick Steiwer From
Ballot
he had appeared before the Marion
county grand Jury and that he did
not have sufficient legal evidence
to offer to warrant an indictment
against Steiwer on charges of
failing to account for certain cam
paign fund expenditures. U'Ren
said the proposed suit would bring
into open court' all the parties, so
they could be cross examined. He
added:. 1 ': i
"In addition to the Henshaw
charges and the 'yellow ticket'
fraud, the court will be able to
question you and Mr. Steiwer and
some others about a $46,500 Stei
wer campaign fund that I am told
--and that I believe was contrib
uted by some corporation men in
Oregon and eastern states prior
to April 13. This $46,500 slush
fund was in addition to 'the Stei
wer campaign expenditures cov
ered y the accounts filed with the
secretary of state. If the story
is true, and I believe it is, that
would furnish one reason why
candidate Steiwer swore only to
campagin expenses made after the
13th day of April. Any eighth
grade school boy would know, on
reading the' law that Mr. Steiwer's
statement that be 'is not . required
to account for money spent before
he filed his. formal declaration of
candidacy is foolisti."
KL1 WIZARD HITS. n
Offensive Against Roman
ism, Aiienism and Boisev-
ism Asked by Evans
. WASHINGTON. Sept. 14.
(AP) An immediate offensive
against "romanism, alienism, bol
shevism, and anti-americanism of
all. kinds" was the battle cry
sounded here today by the Ku
Klux Klau by its emperor and im
perial wizard. Dr. Hiram V.
Evan's.
There was an instant and vocif
erous response from the hundreds
of delegates attending the third
biennial conclave of the organiza
tion. Time and time again as the
Imperial wizard mapped out the
Klan program of the ensuing years
the Washington auditorium rang
with the cheers of the knights.
While Dr. Evans was cheered
again and again during his address
the greatest outbreak came when
he urged klansmen to use every
effort to take the United States
out of the world court.
lie was declaring for adherence
to the principles of 'the founding
fathers against entangling allian
ces. . .
' The imperial wizard asserted he
had heard it said that the league
of nations would interfere in Mex
ico,, and predicted that if Europe
did Interfere "in that country it
would find itself in trouble. -
- "If any European nation lands
M force in Mexico," he shouted,
and if the United States govern-
kment is ; not ready to act, thank
God there are enough . klansmen
in America to repel them."

BATTLE CHINESE
Affray Called Serious as
Some Reports List Native
Dead at 2,000
LONDON. Sept. 14.-(APJ.
Reports from "China prinfed here
today described fierce fightidg on
September 5, between the British
forces and ' the Chinese. Some
dispatches reported 2,000 Chinese
casuaJties. ;The officials here say
that figure is "very greatly exag
gerated." though it is admitted
the affray was serious.
The encounter was at a port on
the upper Yangtze river between
General Yang-Sen's legionnaires
nd a small British" naval force.
It was much like an eighteenth
century naval battle staged for
the movies, with hand to hand
fighting.
The British were greatly out
numbered but effected a dramatic
release of the British officers held
prisoners aboard merchantmen
which had been seized by the
Chinese and crowded to the rails
with guards.
Everything appeared quiet as
ihe Kiawo. manned by a British
naval force, steamed alongside the
captured Wanhsien. AIL. that was
to be! seen of the Wanhsien .were
groups of natives squatting about
in a seemingly peaceful manner.
But as soon as the British party
came ; aboard, the snip became
alive with riflemen and machine
runs -poured a leaden hail into
the British seamen. It was esti
mated that 400 Chinese lined the
rails of the Wanhsien and poured
deadly fire into the Kiawo
which was promptly returned.
While desperate fighting was
going on. on the lower decks a
boarding party swarmed aboard
the captured steamer and rescued
the British officers who had 'bar
ricaded themselves in the officers'
quarters of the vessel. The. fight
ing continued for an hour after
when the British ship drew off
with the fire of everal thousand
troops on both sides of the river
centered upon it. The British
gunboat Widgeon ran close ashore
and opened up with a quick firing
gun and the gunboat Cockshafer,
with her six-inch guns, Silenced
Yang-Sen's field pieces and de
stroyed his headquarters and
other marked positions.
It was learned later, that , Yang-
Sen had decamped 20 miles"4n
land several hours before Ihe
fight;-. While the
Kiawo and.-ttj.:t:totuty to 4TO East
Wanhsien were engaged Chinese
guards .'aboard the other .com
mandeered ship, the Wantung,
tried.jto-kill two British officers
held prisoner aboard her. - Both
Jumped " .overboard',., and one was
drowned while the other swam
safely to a French gunboat. ,
