Rice Declares Patroitism and Religion Backbone of America. Japanese Praise U. S. For Red Cross Work TOKIO, Oct. 2. — "I challenge the diplomatic history of the world to produce an embassy staff which stood by in time of need as did the American staff in Tokio, following the Japanese disaster," said Ambassador Wooll today in speaking before the American-Japan society memorial luncheon, month after the earthquake. Viscount Kaneko told how his servants saved only the picture of Theodore Roosevelt along with those of the emperor and empress of Japan from his home. A resolution was passed praising the American-Japan society memorial Cross sending the quickest response to a stricken people in history. NEW MYSTERY LOSAN Police Seek Bob-Haired 25 Years LOS ANGELES, finding of a torn h GOVERNMENT George H. Rice Declares Patrotitism and Religion Backbone of America. There are definite Ass's in all large cities of America whose avowed object is to overthrow the American government, George H. Rice of Los Angeles, representative of the Better America Federation of California, told Kiwanis at their weekly lunch today in the American Legion clubroom. All are working for Bolshevism, he declared. The speaker came here in connection with the drive being continued to impress upon the public the importance of the federal constitution. Rice accepted an invitation to speak on Chief Justice John Marshall's part in the application of the constitution at the meeting two weeks from today, Oct. 16. The invitation came, following a motion of Homer Ames, who pointed out Marshal's importance. Comparing the constitution with other documents, Rice in his speech asserted that except for the Bible no other written work occupied the same plane of importance, interest and vital necessity as the constitution. He told of the circumstances of its composition—how, at the constitutional convention, when efforts had practically been given up by the farmers, Benjamin Franklin, bent 40 years, moved that the Divine Loving be invoked. This was done, and repeated at each session thereafter, and the constitution finally completed. Doubliess 99 per cent of Americans were patriotic at heart, said Rice, if their patriotism were properly brot out. Indeed, patriotism and religion were the backbone of the American people. Tracing the history of Bolshevism, the speaker said it started with the Society of the Illuminati in Italy, from whom anarchism, syndicalism, Communism and finally Bolshevism sprang in turn. Bolshevism was a doctrine of hate. Quoting the late President Harding, Rice declared that every foreigner settling in America who was not loyal to the United States should be sent back to where he came from and every native likewise disloyal should be placed behind the bars. Regarding his next speech, Rice said that he spoke on Marshal recently before several Kiwanis clubs. Members were asked not to delay luncheon, month after the earthquake. Viscount Kaneko told how his servants saved only the picture of Theodore Roosevelt along with those of the emperor and empress Japan from his home. A resolution was passed praising the American-Japan society memorial Cross sending the quickest response to a stricken people in history. GREAT ORGAN PLAYED ON FRI. NIGHT The United theater may be justly proud of the new Smith Unified Organ, the installation of which is now completed after two months of hard work in putting this giant instrument in place. Expert mechanics from Chicago were sent out here to superintend the assembling, and from unanimous expressions of those who have been fortunate enough to hear the organ, it is undoubtedly the most complete and most human-toned theater organ on the Pacific coast. The policy of the United theaters is to give their patrons the very best of entertainment the market affords, and they have spared no expense in securing one of the greatest organizers in the country for Anaheim. To operate this magnificent pipe organ, Oscar H. Yost, formerly organmaster of the Grand Central theater, of St. Louis, has been engaged permanently. Mr. Yost is bringing his family to Anaheim, where he intends to make his future home. As there was some delay in installing the organ, Sid Grauman has had Mr. Yost featured at his Metropolitan theater, in Los Angeles, the last two weeks, which fact will give Anaheim people some idea of his great musical ability. Upon closely examining the beautiful Smith Unified Organ, Mr. Yost has had many individual adjustments and additions made to suit his style of playing. "The Smith Unified Organ," said Mr. Yost in an interview today, "is undoubtedly the last word in organ construction. I have played some of the world's most famous pipe organs, but this marvelous silver-voiced instrument is a strenuous challenge."

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2.—With the finding of a torn half of a woman's volle waist a few inches from the fingertips of the murdered body of a man, identified as Rosario Micche, a new mystery murder was revealed today. A dainty vanity case, a quantity of rice in the rear sent of the murdered man's automobile, a bloody footprint on the fender of the machine, and other important clues were also found. The murder was committed at a street corner in Manchester Heights, just outside the city. Other important clues being followed by the officers trying to solve the slaying, included a bunch of grapes on the left fender of the machine and a blood-covered hatchet with a sawed-off handle. The finding of the rice, the officers said, indicated there might have been a wedding celebration before the slaying. On the dead man's body was found a revolver holster, but the gun was missing. That Micche may have used the revolver was indicated by blood on the right running board of the machine and similar stains on the roadway. The officers declared these could not have been caused by Micche's wounds as it was apparent he had not moved from the spot where he fell. Officers investigating the case declared they believed the first blow was struck at Micche from the rear seat of the car. Micche is thought to have fought back with his revolver, and his fire returned by his assailants, as bullet wounds were found on the body. One bullet was in the body and another in the car. The machine had been brought to a quick stop as the car skidded approximately ten feet the highway showed, indicating the police say that Micche was attacked while under way. Only a powder puff and a small purse with a few dollars were in the small vanity case found near Micche's body. The sleeve and piece of cloth from a woman's white shirt waist evidently had been ripped from the woman during a struggle. Officers later today believed a solution of the murder hinged on the finding of a red-haired, bobbed-hairred girl, about 25 years old, after a report stated a young woman of such description was seen in the vicinity of the slaying soon after it took place.

Simmons, Imperial wizard of Atlanta, and 3,000,000 members of the Invisible Empire whose names are "unknown to the plaintiffs" with conspiracy to supplant the U.S. government, the opening wedge in a legal battle of far-reaching scope was driven in a suit filed here today asking an injunction against the use of names of non-members in its rolls and a receiver for the membership lists of Indiana "klavens". The names of six South Bend, Ind., men appeared as plaintiffs in the suit filed by Joseph R. Ronch and Patrick H. O'Donnell, attorneys, identified with the American Unity League, an organization opposing the Ku Klux Klan. The alleged oath which a member of the klan takes, it was charged, defeats the "purpose of petit and grand jury" investigations and constitutes a violation of the criminal code, it was averred. Each klansman swears, according to the bill of particulars, that "I will keep secure a secret of a klansman when same is committed to me in the sacred bond of klansmanship—the crime of violating this solemn oath, treason against the U.S. government, of America, rape and malicious murder alone excepted."

Staff Correspondent) OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 2.—Fear of bloodshed at today's state-wide election held under conditions without a parallel in American history, was almost entirely dissipated when hour after hour passed without the slightest sign of disorder. The election promised to be the quietest and most orderly in the history of Oklahoma. Rain fell during part of the morning, but in spite of the elements, the Oklahoma county vote was reported heavy. The people were voting in 74 of Oklahoma's 77 counties, according to reports early this afternoon. At Bryan, Cimmaron and Harper counties, election officials made no attempt to open the polls. By JAMES L. KILGALLEN (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 2.—The people of Oklahoma, forbidden to vote, marched to the polls today and cast their ballots. Voting began promptly at 6 o'clock despite the threat that 22,000 armed "minute men" would be used to prevent the voters from exercising what they declared to be their inallenable rights. The polling places appeared to be virtual arsenals as thousands of newly created special deputies—"vigilantes"—they called themselves, prepared to block any attempt on the part of J. C. Walton's "minutemen" to halt the election. It was this election governor Walton had declared to be illegal and could not be held. Thousands of citizens, deputized as police officers at the last hour, were on duty at the polls throughout the state, prepared for any emergency.

B. Griffith in a local office building, when he appeared for a preliminary hearing.
