In the Portland klan was more of

Rebuffed in their attempts

the Kluxers turned to the city po

results. It is common knowledge
among those closely in touch with
the situation in Portland that 60
per cent of the police officers of
the city were klansmen at .one
time. However, many of those
who once were members of the

DRY RULING
GREAT BLOW
TO SHIPPING
Lasker Says Daugherty is
World's Greatest Law
Giver for Moses Only
Made Red Sea Dry.
Chicago, Oct 21. Across a ban
quet board, A. D. Lasker, chair
man of the United States shipping
board, told Attorney General
Daugherty and other banqueters
that the attorney general's recent
ruling that all ships entering
American waters must be "dry"
was the greatest blow that could
have "happened to the American
merchant mariner
"I can prove," Baid Mr. Lasker,
who spoke before the Audit Bu
reau of Circulations and its guests,
"that MrA Daugherty is the great
est law maker of all time. Moses
only made the Red sea dry."
Mr. Lasker said that while he
personally , was anti-saloon, he
spoke neither as a wet nor as a
dry but from the standpoint of
the shipping board.
To Conform to Expediency.
"I have seen in the press," Baid
Mr. Lasker, "statements that he
made his decision to conform to
political expediency to aid the
merchant marine bill. I never
knew what the decision was until
the president announced it.
"As to the attorney who Is such
a good politician, if he felt he was
helping American ship3, he did It
without advising with me. I want
forelgc, ships to come in, as Is
their right, wet. Forty per cent
of the passengers are foreigners
and will not subscribe to our
views.
"When we are in international
business we only deceive our
selves .to think that America rules
the Vi'rld," he continued.
. Emigrants Profitable.
The principal profit of ships
coming to America shores Is the
emigrant traffic, he said. The
emigrant regards wine and beer
as much as a food as they do bread
and water, he asserted. Liquor
bearing ships can obtain this traf
fic and upon approaching Aineri
ican waters can throw overboard
such liquor as may be left, al
though he said they could figure
to a barrel just how much liquor
would be required by their pas
sengers. TURKEY SIGNED
