Eugene
Jeels Full Effects of

In Community; long
list of Early Victims

By Harry N. Crain . .
Bigotry and prejudice, suspicion
sad discord, strife and hate
those are the returns Eugene and
Lane county people have realized
on tbelr investment In the Ku
Klux Klan. -
And they have been heavy In
vestors. Numerically the klan is not so
strong in Eugene as In some other
cities of the state, but the means
utilized in building up the organ
ization, in creating the discord
ant sentiment upon which It
prospers were so imbued with bit
ter religious condemnation as to
challenge opposition by the
Catholics in protection of their
own faith and personal reputa
tions. That the Catholics here
should actively and publicly re
sent the slanderous statements
circulated against them and their
church by the ku klux propagand
ists and should stand forth in ac
tive opposition is commendable
But their protestations of in
nocence served but to accentuate
the klansmen in their campaign
of vicious falsification. As rapid
ly as one slanderous morsel of
gossip set in circulation "by the
Koo Koos was exposed in its utter
falsity by the opposition three
like canards were loosed on the
community by the propagandists
of the invisible empire.

a member of the crew when a hole

With B. A. Cain, 32, arrested
near Salem last night, operatives
of the Marion county sheriff's of
f ice declared today ' they have In
custody a confidence man and bad
check artist whose cleverness hae
seldom been equaled by any indi
vidual operating in this territory.
Cain, charged with grand lar
ceny m connection with a $100
advance he received yesterday for
hay which he promised to deliver
to the Fisher flouring mills at Sil
vertoh, waived a preliminary hear
ing when he was arraigned in the
justice, court shortly before noon
today and was held to the grand
jury under $750 bail. This he
was unable to furnish and this
afternoon he was lodged in the
county jail.
Is Former Convict.
Officers said that Cain, a for
mer inmate of the Oregon peni
tentiary, confessed this morning
to extensive "paper hanging" au-
tivities in Salem and many are the
institutions which, it is allege,
were victimized by the simply
dressed "farmer," who would buy
a lew articles for himself, his lit
tle daughter, or his wife and then
tender a check of no value.
Among those who received bad
paper are Bostein & Greenbaum,
the Captial Cash store, the J. C.
Penney company, Gale & company,
the Ace and the C. J. Breier corn-
party. -
Too Many to Count.
"How many bad checks have
you -out, anyway" Deputy Sheriff
Sam Burkhart asked Cain this
morning. .
Cain sighed. "Lord," he said,
"I don't know."
Among the aliases used by Cain
in his operations in Salem are Guy
Smith, Ben Smith, Mark Miller,
Ed Anderson and Al Miller. The
police are believed to hold some
bad checks passed by Cain.
Two days ago, according to of
ficers, Cain appeared at the Cher
ry City mills here. He told the
manager he had some hay to sell
and had made negotiations when
he asked for an advance of money
which was to be used for his sick
daughter. When the manager
went to his private office to tele
phone Cain became suspicious and
disappeared, according to the of
ficers.
His Previous Record.
Last fall, officers believe, he
successfully made a hay deal
with money in advance with the
Barkus mills here.
Cain was committed to the
Oregon penitentiary for larceny on
March 13, 1913. At that time he
was living in Linn county. He
was paroled on December 15, 1913
Cain has a wife and daughter
living near Clear lake, about eight
miles north of Salem. He was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriffs Burk
hart and Smith. Burkhart had
been working on the case for sev
eral weeks.

J-ondon, Oct. 25. (By Associat
ed i Press.) "I will support any
party and any government that
pursues a policy of peace, economv
and steady progress, neither revo
lutionary, nor reactionary, - and
does it efficiently," former Prime
Minister Lloyd-George told me
coalition liberal members of par
liament at a meeting this morn
ing. :
In another part of his SDeech he
made the declaration "Great Brit
ain must pay America all her-debts."
Referring to the coalition gov-.
ernment which he had headed, he
said:
"We have stood for national
unity for unity of the men of all
creeds, parties and sections.
Our object first was the win
ning of the war and afterwards
extricating the country out of its
after war difficulties.. It was our
policy then and It is our policy
now."
Wanted Promotion.
Referring to the conservatives
who broke away from the coali
tion and by their defeat ot Austin
Chamberlain as conservative lead
er brought about the accession of
Andrew Bonar Law to the pre
miership he said
I can understand the revolt of
the under-secretaries. They were
subalternates who would like to
be captains and captains who
would like to be made colonels or
full generals."
At another point he said:
"The country's interest is the
thing that matters at the begin
ning, and all the time. The peril
is not over. Alone, the conserva
tive party cannot defend the great
interests which are our common
concern. ,
Unity of Action Needed.

noon that the campaign will be

Originally it was to have come to
a close tonight.
"The response of Salem business
men has been wonderful," mem
bers of the drive team declared.
"They have shown a fine atti
tude."
The 42 members of the two

Moris and R. O. Snelling, lunched
at the chamber this noon. They
were addressed by C .P. Bishop,

Dublin, Oct. 25. (By Associ
ated Press) The new Irish con
stitution passed its third and fin
al reading in the Dail EJteann to
day. Deputy John Milroy describ
ed the document as the- greatest
triumph for Ireland since the bat
tle o Kinsale.
The constitution in Us . final
form is substantially the same as
originally framed, in accordance
with ; the treaty negotiated be
tween the Irish delegates, headed
by Arthur Griffith and Michael
Collins, and the British cabinet
members, headed by Premier
Lloyd George. The treaty provid
ed for a constitution, and this
was Jater drawn up in Dublin and
given Cabinet approval in Lon
don. -
A few minor amendments were
made in the course of the discus
sion of the constitution by, the
Irish . parliament, but all the es
sential features of the original
pact remain, and particularly the
creation of Ireland as the "Irish
Free State;" its establishment as
one of the dominions of the Brit
ish commonwealth, with its own
parliament and executive organi
zation; and with the oath of al
legiance to the king, which still
preserves the tie uniting Ireland
with the rest of the British com
monwealth. ,
The constitution has not yet re
ceived the final sanction ot the
British parliament. But as the
Irish treaty, on which the const!
tution is based, Was favorably
acted upon by the British parlia
ment,- the ratification of the 'eon
stituAion is looked upon as a for
mality. Within the past week,
however, a certain element of un'
certainty has entered into the sit
uation because of the fall of the

ORMAL HEARING FOR
BOOM, OSWEGO LAKE
The application of the Oswego
Log and Boom company for a
franchise to operate on Oswego
lake will be made the subject of
a formal bearing before the pub
lic service commission at Portland
on Wednesday, December 6, it has
been announced by the commis
sion here. Considerable objection
has been expressed by residents of
Oswego to the plans of the com
pany which contemplate the use
of Oswego lake and a portion of
the Willamette river for boom
ing, storing and rafting logs. The
plans of the company also include
the construction of a spur rail
road track connecting with the
Southern Pacific tracks and a
flume through which logs would
be floated from the lake to the
Willamette river. The commis
sion had also announced a bear
ing on the matter of a crossing
over the tracks of the Oregon
Electric, near Multnomah station,
to be held in Portland on Friday,
November 2.
Washington, Oct. 25. Despite
the acquiescence of counsel for the '
federal government in the peti
tion, Supreme Court Justice Bran-'
deis today refused to grant foreign
shipping lines a stay against the
enforcement of Federal Judge
Hand's decision at New York yes
terday which applies American
prohibition regulations against
the transportation of intoxicating
liquors in American waters.
Simultaneously with the refusal
of the supreme court Justice to .
give relief to the complaining ship
companies, however, it was. an
nounced at the treasury depart
ment that for the present at least
foreign ships would still be per
mitted as a matter of policy to
enter American waters wtih liquor
on Doard under seal.
The position of the government
was explained at the conference
in Justice Brandeis' office by Mrs.
Mabel Willabrandt, assistant at
torney general, who said that
while the department of lustlca
did not "in any manner concede"
the contention of the steamship
companies, it did not oppose the
granting of the writ.
Position of Government.
"The position was taken," said
a statement issued at the depart
ment, "because attorneys for the
steamship companies are, on No
vember 13, entering a motion be
fore the supreme court of the Uni
ted States to advance the hearing
on their appeal to November 20. It
does not therefore seem unreason
able that this Bhort additional
time should be given the state de
partment to adjust the ruling with
foreign countries."
Representatives of the ship
companies said afterward that in
view of the further postponement
of the Daugherty bone dry ruling
againet their vessels, Justice Bran
dels' refusal to grant a judicial
stay would not interfere with the
working out of the whole question
in a manner satisfactory both to
the lines and to the government.
It was indicated that the appeal
Itself would be laid before the su
preme court when it reconvenes on
November 15 and that a decision
would be forthcoming before the
end of next month.

can when such stores are required
for the use of officers or crew, be
opened from time to time for with
drawal for such purposes.
The sale or eervlce of liquor to
passengers within American terri
torial waters of course is forbidden.
The treasury secretary said the
subjects to be covered by the pro
posed regulations were various
and of a complicated nature, with
the result that considerable time
would be required for their com
pletion. He added that the atten
tion of several different depart
ments was affected. When the
regulations are completed, the
statement continued, notice will
bo given of the effective date,
with a reasonable time allowed for
foreign shipping to meet the now
conditions. ,
