MAYOR GATES IS
EMPHATIC

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."

INITIATE STATE TAX
E
1
S
PORTLAND, Ore., May 6. 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. Mines, the former convicted this
week on a bootlegging charge, and the
latter in connection with the Dunk of
Jackaonvllte, will probably bo sen
tenced tomorrow.

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.
