WEDFCRTl MATTj TTtTTVCTNT?, KTFnTOTrn, OnnONT, FKTIVXY MAY .1. If) MAYOR GATES IS EMPHATIC DEI L KLANM E mm An emphatic explosion of InrtlRna tlon wan drawn from Mayor C. E. Gates this forenoon hen a reportor had the nerve to ask the mayor it he were cognisant of the rumor in circi latlon for aome time past, and espec ially the last few days, that the head of the Medtord city government was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. . "I am not a member of the Klan and never have been," said the mayor, who stated that the rumor had reached his ears and that evidently, certain person's keenly enjoyed trying to place him in an embarrassing position by industriously spreading the Klan membership story. "Some time bko when I was a pros pective candidate for the republican nomination for governor, a blank ap plication for membership in the Ku Klux Klan was casually handed me by a member of that organization," con tinued the mayor. "What did I do with It? Why 1 burned it later in the fireplace at my home. That is prob ably the foundation for the false story being circulated that I am a Klan member. ' ' ' -"I frankly admit that during the period when I was thinking of enter ing the gubernatorial race I appeared is Portland before the Allied Patriotic Societies, an organisation of 51 socie eties of which the Ku Klux Klan Is Supposed to be one of the members, to set forth my qualifications for the high office I might aspire to. I am proud of it. From 95 to 98 per cent of all the candidate for statu office ap peared before the Allied Patriotic So cieties. I only know of one candidate who did not."

The first step to put before the voters at the fall election an initiative measure pro viding for a state income tax was taken today when a proposed amend ment to the state constitution provid ing that half' of the state's annual ex penses be raised by an Income tax, was sent to Secretary ot State Kozer by the State Taxpayers league. If adopted the amendment would be ef fective in 1924. The jury in the circuit court delib erating on the case of John Goodwtn, charged with selling intoxicating liquor, went out at 9:20 o'clock thH morning and nt 2.30 ttila afternoon had been tumble to reach a verdict. A previous trial resulted in a disagree ment. ' The evidence and arguments in the case were finished yesterday after noon, and the Instructions of tho court presented this morning. The case hinges upon the purported sale of a bottle of whiskey ti V. II. Gates last August, the defense main taining that Uoodwln had nothing t do with the sulo except to drive Gates to the Jackson street bridge in his taxi, and tho money and tlio tmt lie puHsiug through his hands. The defense attacked the credibility of Gates. Mike llanley, a member of the former jury trying (loodwln testi fied that at the former trial, (lutes testified that the whiskey In evidence would burn, and when the Jury tried it, they could get no similar results, P. C. Klgham, a member of the grand Jury indicting (loodwln appeared as a character witness for Ooodwln, as did Patrolman Churles Adams, Louis Schermerhorn, O. M, Belsby and oth er. . , Tho trial la the last on the present docket. Jauiea (Shlue) Kdwarda and R. U.

P. lepot Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and ! lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur I in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which la so at tractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other 'Ingredients by asking at any drug store lor a bottle of "Wyeth a Sage and Sulphur Compound," which dark ens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Tou Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your halrxtaklng on small strand at a time. By mornln ! the gray hair disappears: but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and 8ulphur Compound is that, be sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives It an appearance of abundance. Wyeth's 8ae and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite to Impart color and a youthful ap pearand to the hair. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre vention of disease.
