FORTY-FOURTH YEAR NO. 262. rn f Whole Program of Klan Directed Toward . State Domination Thru Communities That Have Been KuKluxed By Harry N. Crain- Almost every community in Ore- ton has felt the effects of the Ku Klux K'.an movement to a greater or lesser extent during the past year hut, aside from the specific Instances that have already been cited at some length in this series of articles, most of them have eS' caped with nothing more than (light attack of this destructive civic malady. Coos county, the home ot Cbarles Hall, Ku Klux Klandidate lor the republican nomination for governor, has had its siege of the ilan, but has escaped any serious consequences, principally through the fact that Mr. Hall's support there was along personal lines and the Kluxers did not have the argu meat of the necessity for organ ization to opposed a strong opposi tion to him, , their personal candi I date. Further, the anti-Catholic j element in Coos county is widely scattered and not to be seriously reckoned with in any event. Th I jbest indication, however, of the jauure ot the klansmen to effec tually organize this section of the state is the failure of the sub idized newspaper which they took 4ver in Marehfield. , Where most cs Ku Klux papers throughout Ahe country have enjoyed a rapid fwwm aunns the heighth of the ma movement In their communl the Marshfield paper. was sraey loser from the first, tu luring the summer placed In the lands ot a receiver and has since 'en ordered sold for the benefit of 'editors by the court.

Mrs. Phillips testified she had talked over her family troubles with Mrs. Peggy Caffee, the state's staT"wltness whom she yesterday accused of complicity in the slay ing, during the Tuesday afternoon and night preceding the murder. She added that it was from Mrs, Julia McElrov and her son Julian neighbors of hers, that she learned where Alberta Meadows lived. The witness stated that she had no intention of going to Mrs. Mea. dows apartment at that time, al though she knew "something was wrong." Her husband had been out all night, she said, and had refused to speak to her. Much of the morning session was occupied by the prosecution in taking Mrs. Phillips over her testimony of yesterday, step by step and in considerable detail. Mrs. Phillips reiterated her tes timony given on direct examina tion that It was Peggy Caffee who bought the hammer. The defendant denied that she had requested the sales girl to show her the "heaviest hammer she had," or that she had offered any objection to the one finally purchased "because it was not heavy enough."

Kaiser Bars 9 1 .1 V. yrA From Even Glimpse Of Royal Wedding Doom, Holland, Nov. 3. (By Associated Press.) William Hohenzollern, who still enjoys by local courtesy the title of kaiser, has succeeded in entrenching him self against inquisitive intruders curious as to the preparations for his weddding Sunday to Princess Hermion Of Reuss. With In genuity and thoroughness he has contrived to conceal the retreat of his little "court" from public gaze. William has a number of trus ty bodyguards who obey his com mands with the same alacrity as though he still retained-his actual imperial power, and rigid Prus sian discipline is maintained among the forty odd servitors, who are ruled with a rod of iron by Count Von Moltke, the marshal i of the "court"; Absolute silence Is their rule as far as the outer world is concerned, newspaper men being their special bete "noire. The approach to Doom house Is a graveled forecourt leading to semi-circular building which is called a lodge, but which is al most too large and massive to warrant this appellation. This is the outer bulwark of the estate and serves as barracks for the army of retainers and Dutch rural gendarme guard who turn back every one not provided with a permit. The gate, heavily studded and set on enormous hinges hangs in the center of an open structure which would serve for entrance to a fortress Through the gate a winding drive leads to the main entrance of the castle, and this will be the processional road for the wedding cortege from the lodge, where the civil ceremony will be performed.

Three girls were killed, three more are reported dy ing and about a dozen were taken to hosptials seriously Injured after a fire broke out In a celluloid fac tory on East Thirteenth street this afternoon and the flames had q.ulckly enveloped the three-story building. ' About 40 girls were employed In the factory. Several Jumped from windows as the panic spread. More escaped over roofs. Others were taken down ladders by fire men. A cloak and suit concern occu pied the first floor of the build ing. The two upper floors were leased by S. H. Bchrelber & com pany, Jobbers in hair ornaments and toilet articles in the manu facture of which celluloid Is used. The fire started on the second floor and spread rapidly. Imme diately girls rushed to the win dows. Of those who jumped, at least one was killed intsantly. While the panic was at its height a man stepped out onto the coping above the first floor and tried to catch the girls as they fell. He touched one or two anil he was believed to have broken their fall. One girl was seen hanging onto a sill on the second floor. She was forced to let go when the flames came close. Three girls escaped by ascending a stairway from the third floor through a garret, climbing a lad der to the roof and then descend ing through the next building. As the firemen arrived they saw a man jump from the third floor, strike a cornice on the first floor and fall into the street dead.

L London, Nov, 8. The remark made yesterday by Major John Jacob Astor, who said "I am transferring my wealth from America to this country," was treated as a big item of news In this morning's papers. Major Astor, who is contesting tor a seat from Dover In the com ing elections, made the statement In replying to a heckler who In quired whether he was going to expose bis own wealth to British taxation. New York, Nov. 3. There was much speculation in New York to day over the reported announce ment In London yesterday by Major John Jacob Astor that he was transferring his wealth from America to England. The realty and personal holding ot the late Baron (William Waldorf) Astor In the United States totalled more than $80,000,000, .according to a referees report filed last March In superior court. Of this last fortune, In which Major Astor participated with Viscount ABtor, his elder brother, $50,000,000 is represented in realty. The property was con veyed to the two sons In trust in 1919, and the income from that source is placed at $5,291,260. In addition, Major ABtor was given outright by his father Manhattan realty valued at more than $7,- 000,000. Several pieces of New York property have been sold by Major Astor in the last few years, but it is considered unlikely he will dis pose of all estate in this country. but rather will transfer his In come or personal property to England. Major Astor, In conjunction with John A. Walter, recently purchased Lord Northcllffe's London Times at a price stated as $6,075,000.

ON TRAINS AND NEWS STANDS nVB CENTS Z3 1 i FORJIIS Postal Inspectors Lay In Wait for Robbers Who Cut Off Mail and Ex press Cars. - Wittenberg, Mo., Nov. 3. (By Associated Press.) Jack Ken nedy, veteran Missouri train rob ber and Harvey Logan, former railroad man, were shot and killed early today by officers after they had robbed a mall car on a south bound Frisco passenger train. The stolen mall, about 100 registered letters, was recovered. Postofflce inspectors learned yesterday that Kennedy and Logan bad gone from Cape Gir ardeau to seventy-six, It was stated, and they kept a watch on the automobile In which the bandit were traveling. The Inspectors said they had no way of estimating the amount of money in the letters -which the robbers took, and declared the reports that the amount ran as high as $200,000 to be unfounded rumors. Kennedy was 53 years old and Logan 23. . , . Officers In Waiting Six postofflce inspectors, three Frisco railroad special agents and two deputy sheriffs of Scott coun ty were waiting near the scene of the robbery, which had been an ticipated through previous watch ing of Kennedy's movements. Kennedy and his companion were making for their automobile with the stolen mall when ordered by the -officers to halt. The bandits reached for their weap ons, according to the inspectors, and the latter opened fire. Inspector Bob Ward of St. Louis, who was in charge of the officers, said the bodies of the two robbers were found with revolvers in their hands. A coroner's Jury held an Inquest and returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. ' Describing the robbery, inspec tors said that Kennedy and his pal stopped the train, No. 805, running from St. Louis to Mem phis, at Seventy Six, a Btatloa seven and one-half miles north of here.
