Hundreds of pe destrians watching the huge jackknife bridge at Michigan avenue open today to allow the passage of a steamer, wit nessed a thrilling "loop the gap" ride for life by two automobiles, both of which leaped across the widening gap of the bridge at racing speed. The thrill resulted from the effort of Vincent "Skimmer" Druccl. an al leged safe blower, to escape from -on automobile driven by two, policemen.

Flap- pers are doing mlsionary work by driving young men in the ministry, Dr. Paul Ruder, presi- dent of the Christian and -Mis- sionary alliance and noted evangelist, declared in a speech yesterday. "Better a hungry heathen with a club than a thirsty flup- per with a lip stick," seems to be the motto of hundreds of fr young men seeking to enter the foreign mission field, Dr. Uuder said. "We have hud ut least 4n 4 00 young men apply at our missionary school at Nyuck-on- the-Iludson for the most peril- ous service," he ussertcd. Their idealism has been killed by flapperlsm. "They prefer this career to Uvlng-with the free talking, free thin king, free drinking type of girls." PORTLAND, Ore.. Sept. 1.

Audience was granted upon the re ceipt ot a communication from the unions. Bishop Arthur C. Hall Of Ver mont, spokesman for the conference, said that inasmuch as the bishops are meeting in informal conferences only, they would hear the representatives of the unions as Individuals and not as the house of bishops. The letter declared that "four hun dred thousand railroad shopmen left their positions with the railroads on July 1. 1922, believing that they were justified in the eyes of God and man, in taking the step they took,!' and continued: "The strikers are honest workmen and Christian men. We believed we were doing right when we left our employment because of a grievance. We stijl believe as we did then. But we have not had much opoprtunlty to lay our case before the public In the light in which we see it. We want publicity for action. We are not ashamed but we are open to rebuke or instruction, if, In the eyes of others, wiser than we, our position Is an un warranted one. RREGULARS SIM A BIG OFFENSIVE DUBLIN, Sept. 1.

PORTLAND RAIL IMENIPUT STRIKE i UP TO BISHOPS THIRD PARTY NOT FORMED SAYS GOLVIG Member Citizens' Committee Denies Effort to Form New Party iroup of Citizens Merely Trying to Weed Out K. K. K. From Both of the Older Parties. To the Editor: ho resolutions published in your paper by tho executive committee of the republican party of Jackson county is simply an employment of the "party lush," and I have won dered whero the committee gets its authority to line up republican voters In the state of Oregon, and especially In Jnukson county to vote the straight republican ticket when they know that the official personnel of candi dates appearing under the nnmo of republican 1h weakened by the fact, that two or mora of these candidates for office are members of, or closely nfl'illnted with, tho Ku Klux Klun. Tho "party lash" Is something thnt tho individual members of the party, In this age of the world, will not sub mit to. Tho. logic of tho committee's rensonlng is that if a horso tniet mnnnges to secure nomination for of fice on the republican ticket, that every man and woman claiming to be a republican Is in honor bound to vote for that horse thief. This is logic which would do credit to a past age, and like alt unsound doc trines, has long passed Into the realm tf fltfntro thnt tunni Henl renllhll. cans hnve ceased to have rings in! their noses or collars around their necks by which to be lend. Recently thero was a banquet at Medford Hotel and the chairman of the stato republican centrnl commit tee eume--down.f rom Portland to re concile tho differences of the republi cans of Jackson county on this ques tion of the Ku Klux Klun, at that meeting he,' as well' as. Bert Ander son, and some others, urged the re publicans of the county to support tho ticket from top to bottom. In cluding these members or sympa thizers with the Ku Klux Klan. A very short time -before this meet ing the Ku Klux Klan had taken upon Itself, supported by these men who are candidates for office, to re call a good, thorough-going republi can officer in Jackson 'county, C. E. TerriU, and place In his stead fts sher iff a Ku Klux Klan democratic can didate; and among tho loudest mouthed advocates of this recall was Bert Anderson, and nlso others who are now seeking to line up tho repub licans of the county to support Ku Klux Klan candidates for public of fice. Docb Mr. Anderson think that the republicans of Jackson county have forgotten tho Insulting letter which! he wrote to the governor of this state because the governor hud seen fit to remove a Ku Klux Klan officer'.' Does Mr. Anderson think thnt tho re publicans of this county have so soon forgotten that he made an especial effort to throw out of office tho good republican sheriff of this county? Does Mr. Anderson think that the re publicans of this county have forgot ten that C. M. Thomas, two years ago. refused to go upon the stump and support the Honorable E. V. Carter, and that he quietly gave his support to George Mansfield, the democratic candidate for thS legislature, and Mr. Mansfield and Mr. Thomas had so consulted with each other as to Mr. Thomas' legislative policies, that Mr. Mansfield modo tho following state ment in print: "If elected your representative I will be found acting In co operation with your Senator, C. M. Thomas, whose legislative policies I fully endorse." No, It does not lie within the pro vince of Mr. Anderson or any other member of the Ku Klux Klan to ad vise the republicans of this county how lo vote. They are men and women of real Intelligence and will vote for candidates who are real re publicans and are not allied or in sympathy with an "Invisible Govern ment" located at Atlanta, Georgia. No, my dear Mr. Anderson, we are not launching a third pnrty upon the troubled sea of politics. We are simply, trying to replace some of the rotten material which we find in the official personnel of the two old parties.- -, Miss Hanlcy's nomination and Mace on the ticket, will give all men and women of Independent spirit, an opportunity to elect a representative, who is not a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I do not understand why demo cratic committeemen In Oregon seek i to apply the "party lash". If all the democrats In the state were whipped Into line, they would only muster one-third of the votes in the state. I Now, down in Texas, for Instance, thei democrats outnumber the republi cans In about the ratio of 4 to 1. Hence, the Bert Andersons of Texas do not shed crocodile tears over the independent spirit of the voters. "Consistency thou nrt a Jewel," and thy name is not Bert Anderson nor C. M. Thomas. " WM. M.

U.S. CONSULATE BY JOHN BULL LONDON, Sept. 1.

This wns denied by Mr. Slater last night. Tho British government, six weeks ago, ndvised tho American govern ment It had proof of abuse by Consul Slater t and Vice-consul Brooks of their positions und that It had de cided reluctantly to withdraw their papers. Tho government stated nlso thnt. it would defer action fnr a "month or two, as tho American gov ernment was conducting-Its own ne gotiations and might decide to re move tho officials Itself.- . Tho American governments reply wns thnt It did not consider nny of the allegations substantiated. SALEM, Ore., Sept. 1. Officials of the American consulate at Newcastle-on-Tyne wero acting at the request of tho American government when they ndvised prospective visitors to the United Slates to take American, rnthcr than British vessels, according to word received from Russell M. Brooks, vice-consul, by his mother, Mrs. Mildred R. ' Brooks, Marlon County recorder, whose home is In Salem. Brooks was graduated from . the Willamette un'ersity school ot law here in 1918. "The British government nt the behest of certain English lines which felt thnt thny alone had tho right to navigate the high seas and thut our ships were interlopers, had directed tho government to revoke our eve quators on tho pretense that we were doing too good work for tho Ameri can government," Mr. Brooks wrote his mother.

Tho French cabinet today simply "took cognizance", ot the decision of the reparations com mission on the German moratorium question, neither approving or disap proving it. It specifically reserved however, "entire liberty of action" In cuse later developments made other actio necessary. The cabinet held that Inasmuch ns no moratorium had been granted Gnrniany, It could noly recognize the situation, but It insisted that a con ference should be culled attended by ull tho allies without exception," ut which tho question of inter-ullled debts and reparations should be fully considered.
