Dawes, Republican candidate for vice president, this afternoon at the rally here of Maine Republicans outlined his stand on the Ku Klux Klan. Dawes Speaks for Coolidge on Klan PLYMOUTH, Vt., Aug. 23. When Charles G. Dawes tells this afternoon where he stands on the Ku Klux Klan, he will be speaking for the Coolidge-Dawes Ticket. President Coolidge, a spokesman for him, announced today, will have nothing to say, on the klan. He was challenged by the Democratic nominee, John W. Davis to declare himself one way or another. The president permitted the impression to go out that General Dawes will be outlining the Coolidge viewpoint as 'well as his own.

He ed in tones that could scare Instinctive Groping For Leadership in Interest of Law Enforcement AUGUSTA, Me., Aug. 23.—General Charles G. Dawes, Republican candidate for vice president, this afternoon at the rally here of Maine Republicans outlined his stand on the Ku Klux Klan. That portion of his address devoted to the klan was an answer to a challenge from William R. Pattangill, Democratic candidate for governor and indirectly, a reply to the Democratic presidential nominee, John W. Davis who demanded that President Coolidge say where he stands on the klan. The general said first that he agreed with Davis that the klan had no part in this or any other campaign. "Let me say," Dawes declared, "that I realize that the klan in many localities and among many people represents only an instinctive groping for leadership moving in the interest of law which they do not find in many office-holders." "But it is not the right way to forward law enforcement. I first desire to speak as Mr. Davis did yesterday, relative to the klan. I agree with him that it has no proper place in this or any other campaign. But whether proper or not, unfortunately in this campaign a mobilization of radicalism under LaFollette, the largest section of which the Socialists, fly the red flag, is attacking the constitution of the United States. I cannot agree, therefore, with his reference that its discussion diverts attention from those issues. People must settle in November by their votes. It only emphasizes the greatest issue. "The questions of Mr. Pattingill which appears in the press this morning are the familiar talk of the ordinary politician. They are not the cause of the statement I am about to make. "Let me say at once that I realize that the klan in many localities and many people represents only an instinctive grouping for leadership, moving in the interests of law enforcement which they do not find in many cowardly politicians and office holders. But it is not the right way to forward law enforcement. "Let us consider for a minute what happened in the state of Oklahoma. Governor Walton was some time ago elected governor of the state. In his campaign he had not preached the doctrine—so it seemed to me at least—which was the proper one to be preached under the American flag. When he was elected, one of his early acts was to remove the president of the university of Oklahoma—a man who other than the president permitted the impression to go out that General Dawes will be outlining the Coolidge viewpoint as well as his own. TEXAS GOES TO POLLS TODAY PORT WORTH, Tex., Aug. 23 — As Texas went to the polls today to choose for its governor, either Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, acclaimed by her friends "Texas' Joan I Arc" or Judge Felix D. Robertson, K. K. K. candidate, both leaders dispatched a stirring eleventh hour appeal to the voters, the woman asked liberation from "klan control," the klansman warning of a "whiskey conspiracy." "Ma" Ferguson, first woman candidate for governor and wife of James E. Ferguson, impeached governor of Texas, said: "I am asking the people of Texas to liberate this great state from the crushing tenacies of that hooloof monster—the Ku Klux Klan. The klan for two years has been too great a factor in Texas politics. "I am confident that Texas will forever stall out this constitutional menace by giving me a plurality of 125,000 votes." Approximately 700,000 votes are expected to be cast. Robertson, as in the past, ignored the klan issue, asserting: "This has been a fight between the prohibitionists and the antis, with the whiskey ring behind Ferguson and the others backing me." The question of whether a woman can be governor of Texasunder its present constitution had been suddenly revived since the outset of the present campaign and today request for a decision on the eligibility of a woman candidate was presented to Frank C. Davis, state Democratic chairman, by Charles M. Dickson, San Antonio attorney. PLAN TO EXPAND COAST AIR MAIL SEATTLE, Aug. 23.—Plans to Burden of Darrow Spin That Prodigies Have Diseased Minds CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO Aug. 23.—For two hours Clarence Darrow pleaded forcy and life sentences for M Leopold, Jr., and Richard A instead of the gallows. Heeded in tones that could scare heard ten feet away, he pleaded tones that could be heard to the Chicago stock yard always he pleaded. And the burden of his parday was, as yesterday, that two college prodigies have caused minds and hanging will do no good. He painted the intellect young slayers, not as the criminals that the state calls but as immature boys, schemes, diseased schemes, schemes. He showed how, instead of citing up their footsteps at point in the Franks crime took terrible chances of being covered by any chance accid whim of fate.

I have erased as I have seen the war hatred sweep across this across this land. I have woken if there is any human emotion has not gone down in the sea. When court adjourned after until Monday, Darrow had a four hours of his final plea he said he expected to continue of Monday, which should pike the end of the trial about Wednesday. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO Aug. 23.—As tolerantly as any father might deal with a ward child, Clarence D pleased for mercy today for an F. Leopold, Jr., and Richie Loeb, the youthful school wealth and education who lily slew a little boy to obtain kick" for their jaded intellect. There was no rioting Judge John H. Caverly's courtyard by hundreds who vainly to gain admission to this place. Gardens "Let us consider for a minute what happened in the state of Oklahoma. Governor Walton was some time ago elected governor of the state. In his campaign he had not preached the doctrine—so it seemed to me at least—which was the proper one to be preached under the American flag. When he was elected, one of his early acts was to remove the president of the university of agriculture of Oklahoma, a man who believed in the old fashioned doctrines of the constitution, to establish which our forebears fought. He placed in that position a socialist who was likely to teach the young men of that state some new fashioned doctrines which, to say the least, are not those of constitutional Americanism. He then loosed upon the state of Oklahoma a horde of hardened criminals from the prisons. "If there could be an excuse for law abiding citizens to band themselves together in secret organizations for law enforcement, it existed in Oklahoma, and the blan became a powerful organization. "What happened then? Then back stepped Governor Walton to the American flag to which it seems to me he had not kept very close up to that time—and called out the militia of the state. Then it was that those who had joined the klan in the interest of law and order found themselves arrayed against their flag and laws of Oklahoma. A situation akin to that of civil war existed and it was averted only by a few clear-headed men. "And then what happened? There was the application of the only method which our people can properly settle such differences—the procedure outlined by the constitution and laws of the state of Oklahoma. Walton was removed from the governorship by the vote of the people and quiet was restored under the orderly processes provided by the constitution of the laws. "Consider what happened in Williamson-co. Illinois, where the town of Herrin is situated. A reign of lawlessness existed. It was marked by the terrible Herrin massacre. It was marked by (Continued on Page Eight) PLAN TO EXPAND COAST AIR MAIL SEATTLE, Aug. 23.—Plans to bring the air mail to cities of the Pacific northwest by extending a branch of the air mail from Elko, Nev., to Pasco, Wash., effecting Portland, Seattle, Spokane and other cities of Washington and Oregon, were enroute to Washington today with the approval and recommendations of postmasters of the cities affected. The suggestion that air mail be extended to the northwest from Elko, rather than from Salt Lake or San Francisco, was formulated by postmaster Charles M. Perkins and Warren C. Vandervort, superintendent of the railway mail service. Another plan provides for the establishment of an air mail line from Elko to Las Vegas, Nev., thereby facilitating the delivery of mail in So. Calif. Planes carrying out this schedule would fly from Pasco to Eldo, a distance of approximately 400 miles, possibly dividing the flight into two hops of 200 miles each with a stop at Boise, Idaho. It is pointed out that the flying time between Pasco and Elko is four hours and that the plane would leave Pasco at 6 a.m., arriving in Elko at 10 a.m. to transfer the mail to the main line. It would have received the westbound mail by 1:30 p. in and would return to Pasco by 5:30 p. m., with mail ready for the train toattle end Portland in sample trie PHOTOS DECREE LOS AK WI, Aug. 23.—Mrs. Clarice L. here took a free woman exhibition of a photo divorce suit against Sham.

The prince, instead of coming down from London today, spent the night at the home of a friend upon the Isle of Wight, coming across the Solent this morning in a motorboat. It was still dark when the motorboat chugged into the Southampton harbor and there was no one about when the prince boarded the liner. He went at once to his quarters in the imperial suite.

He plead-in tones that could scarcely be hard ten feet away, he pleaded in cases that could be heard almost the Chicago stock yards. But ways he pleaded. And the burden of his plea to was, as yesterday, that the college prodigies have disdained minds and hanging them do no good. He painted the intellectual king-slayers, not as the master criminals that the state calls them, as immature boys, their themes, diseased schemes, fool themes, crazy schemes, idiotic themes. He showed how, instead of coving up their footsteps at every point in the Franks crime, they took terrible chances of being dismembered by any chance accident or imitation of fate. Do I need to argue here," he said, "that cruelty only begets evil, that hate only breeds hatred except by charity, love is there anyway to kill evil if hatred except by charity, love understanding? There is no religion, philosophy in all world that does not preach it to heart of it.

FOG HAMPERS HUNT FOR AVIATOR ABOARD U. S. S. RICHMOND, Aug. 23—(By Radio)—Fog today hampered the search for Lleut: "Tony" Locatelli, Italian aviator, lost while accompanying Lleut. Smith and Lleut. Erik Nelson on their hop from Reykjavik to Fredriksdal, Greenland. Airplanes sent out from American cruisers of Cape Farewell and Angnagsalk were forced to return. The Danish steamship Falk is alding. Locatelli has been missing since mid-day, Thursday. He may have landed on some ford and is being cared for by friendly Eskimos. Smith and Nelson are anxious to get lay for Indian Harbor, Labrador; before autumn storms set in. Once the mainland of the American continent is reached they believe that the rest of their 27,000 mile journey will be easy. A storm is forecast for tomorrow and the fliers fear it will be a forerunner of continuous bad weather. ITALIAN FLIER STILL MISSING REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Aug. 23—Search was continued throughout the night for Lleut. Tony Locatelli, Italian air ace but without success. American cruisers and torpedo boats used powerful searchlights to comb the seas today between Greenland and Iceland but found no trace of the missing Italian aviator. Locatelli became separated from the U. S.' Army round-the-world fleets. Smith and Smith and Speaking Program Will Also Be Staged in Evening, Sept. 12 An evening parade and speaking program will be Anaheim's method of celebrating Defense Test Day, Sept. 12. It was made known today, following last nights meeting of the committee. The parade, which it is hoped to make county-wide, will form at G-30 and the procession will march through the principal streets. At n-30 the program of patriotic addresses will begin at city park. Invitations are extended to any organization in town, civile, fraternal etc., and to the schools to participate in the parade, to which the general public also will be welcome. Because of the fact that the parade will be at night, Anaheim may obtain many additional recruits to the parade from other towns whose city officials and various organizations also will be invited. The night hour was selected mainly so as not to work a hardship on business houses. In accordance with the instructions of the War Department, which so specified, no expense whatever will be undergone in putting the parade on. To correct a false impression which has gone abroad, no registration of participants will be taken. Some people appeared to think that a census would be taken as with the 1918 draft. The main object is to enlighten the public regarding the needs of national defense. Sept. 12 was selected, however, to commemorate the battle of St. Mikhiels, which was the first major fight in the World War fought exclusively by American forces. The date was chosen also in respectful farewell to General Pershing who retires at midnight on Sept. 12 at the prescribed age of 64. CHANGE HOUR FOR G. BETZ FUNERAL The hour for funeral services of Godfrey Betz originally set for Monday at 2:30, has been changed to Monday at 10 a.m., through the contemplated absence of Rev. G.

Tony Locatelli, Italian air ace but without success. American cruisers and torpedo boats used powerful searchlights to comb the seas today between Greenland and Iceland but found no trace of the missing Italian aviator. Locatelli became separated from the U.S. Army round-the-world flyers, Lleut. Smith and Lieut. Nelson, while making a jump from Reykjavik to Frederiksdal, Greenland. Both Smith and Nelson said they shot Locatelli was following them, altho the fog grew so dense as they neared the Cape Farewell coast that they could not see. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. — American cruisers and smaller craft are combing the waters in the vicinity of Frederiksdal for Lleut. Locatelli, the Italian round the world flyer who was lost while accompanying the American airmen from Iceland to Greenland, said a dispatch to the navy department today from the cruiser Milwaukee, stationed at Cape Farewell. The message indicated that Lleuts, Smith and Nelson might delay their hop-off from Greenland to Labrador to assist in the search for Locatelli. Admiral Magruder radioed from the cruiser Richmond which he commands, that a dense fog had caused the search for Locatelli to be stopped this morning, but that it was to be continued as soon as the fog lifted. The destroyer, Barry, Magruder said, would be sent south of Cape Farewell to continue the search and then because she is shot of fuel, will go on to Pictou harbor to await the arrival of the American fliers. The fuel ship Brazos is now en route to the north Atlantic with oil and other supplies for the American cruisers and destroyers. SALESMAN MISSING LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23. — Search was launched here today for Lew W. Stone, 40; stock salesman, who, police said, had been mysteriously missing for four days.

Important Discoveries About Atmosphere Upon Planet Mars LICK OBSERVATORY, MT. HAMILTON, Calif., Aug. 23—Possibility that Mars' near approach to the earth may result in new and important discoveries concerning the atmosphere of the planet was indicated in an announcement made today by Dr. W. H. Wright, one of the scientists observing the planet, and who is making color screen photographs. "I have photographed the planet by light of three different colors," Dr. Wright said in a statement today, "namely, violet, yellow and extreme or infra red." "Outstanding features are the set of photographs made with the infra-red light. In these outlines are bold and are much more striking than when photographed in ordinary light or seen thru a telescope." "These photographs show a marked falling off in the brightness of the planet at the edge, an appearance which is indicative of the existence of a Martian atmosphere. "On the other hand, the photographs made with violet light show few details of the planetary surface except the polar cap. "These observations have no relation whatever to the question of whether is inhabited." The importance of the photographs made in red light, according to the scientists gathered here lies in the fact that the greater clarity of outline secured thru the red light indicates the Martian atmosphere is opaque to ordinary light. There is a possibility that the violet color photographs may have a tendency to show that the "polar caps" may be clouds on Mars' surface rather than ice. HIGH PRICES FOR FRUIT THIS WEEK Gain Fully 50c Per Box Over Last Week On Average Higher prices for valencias, particularly the small sizes, were recorded again this week and shipments from Orange-co., totaling approximately 300 cars, including a few cars of lemons; showed little diminution from last week. VEGETATION EXISTS ON PLANET LO W E L L OBSERVATORY, FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 23. Vegetation exists on the planet Mars without a doubt and the planet is clearly habitable although no proof may be advanced that animal life of any order is present. American scientists here declared today after extensive observations during the night. "Close-up" photographs of the planet, regarded as highly important in Martian studies were taken by astronomers. Climatic and atmospheric conditions on the distant planet are very similar to those on Earth, the astronomers said. Day and night, clouds, raing storms, snows and certain types of vegetation exist, they said, beyond a doubt. Early this morning the planet appeared exceptionally clear, it was stated. A haze or vapor or steam appeared at the lower rim but the remainder was very distinct. Much of the surface appeared, as the planet completed its earthward swing, bringing it unusually close to the earth, to resemble a desert but sections showing green and blue in color were plainly observed. With succeeding seasons, the scientists said, the colors change, indicating vegetation. The snow cap at the south pole of the planet has now receded to about fifteen degrees which is less than the ice fields at the earth's poles ever reach. This, the astronomers said, was plain by the fact that the Martian spring and summer season is very much longer, their year being 680 of our days in SAY INSANITY IN M'COY FAMILY LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23—Defense alienists, who continued their examination today of Norman Selby, professionally known as "Kid" McCoy, held here for the murder of Mrs. Teresa Mors said they would prove McCoy had relatives who for years had been inmates of sanitariums. They asserted they would show McCoy was mentally irresponsible. While the alienists continued their observations customs agents searched for a fortune in jewels owned by Mrs. Mors and which, the agents assert, may have been brot into this country without having duty paid on them. The jewels, according to Albert Mors, divorced husband of the slain woman, could not be found after her death. Miss Peggy Browne, film actress, former Washington, D.C., society girl, it was said, announced today that she would aid McCoy in his defense. Miss Browne, known in Washington as Marguerite Caperton, niece of Admiral Caperton, said McCoy once saved her from drowning. SAVES TRAIN FROM DISASTROUS WRECK OCEANSIDE, Calif., Aug. 23—Several hundred persons, passengers aboard a northbound Santa Fe train barely escaped death yesterday, it was learned today, when the train was flagged and prevented from a possible wreck before it crashed into a burning pole which was carrying a high voltage of electricity. J. B. Stratton, connected with the local branch of the San Diego Gain Fully 50c Per Box Over Last Week On Average Higher prices for valuencias, particularly the small sizes, were recorded again this week and shipments from Orange-co., totaling approximately 300 cars, including a few cars of lemons; showed little diminution from last week. Anaheim and Fullerton, with some 83 cars each, and Placentin with 60 cars, maintained their last week's levels, practically speaking, while LaHabra, Olive Garden Grove, Yorbt Linda, all had a fairly busy week. Olive expects to increase shipments considerably next week. Prices gained fully 50 cents over last week on the average, small sizes especially owing to their previous abnormally low levels, rising on the markets. Growers who took the advice issued by a local manager and published in these columns, to hold their small sizes as long as possible are beginning to reap some benefit from so doing. The rather high prices for large sizes have opened a stronger demand for small ones. Average shipments of 100 cars per day from California, diminishing the last two or three days marked the week, according to W. H. Ritchle, manager of the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association. Frosts and stormy weather this year hurt Eastern fruit and little competition, said Ritchle, has been experienced in it, or will be. BELIEVE FLEET MAKING LIQUOR SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 23—Federal investigation was started today of a fleet of large ships lying outside the 12-mile limit which are believed to be engaged in the wholesale manufacture of Scotch and Canadian whiskey. Several huge cargoes of bottled goods labeled and branded with Scotch and Canadian marks have been seized in attempted landings here lately and other landings have been successful despite vigilance of officers. It was at first believed the liquor landed was genuine; imported stuff but clues have been received by the federal investigators which indicate it is of marine manufacture. 1 DEAD, 2 HURT IN STREET CAR CRASH SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23—A resemble a desert but sections showing green and blue in color were plainly observed. With succeeding seasons, the scientists said, the colors change indicating vegetation. The snow cap at the south pole of the planet has now receded to about fifteen degrees which is less than the ice fields at the earth's poles over reach. This, the astronomers said, was plain by the fact that the Martian spring and summer season is very much longer, their year being 680 of our days in length. Water from the melting snow is supposed to produce vegetation in temperate sections which appear to be practically devoid of rain. None of the scientists here, Professors Slipper, Lampand or Dr. Coblentz, would discuss possibility of signaling Mars. They appeared to scorn even the idea of such a feat. Observations completed this week were especially instructive it was said, but even more important visual observations and photographic studies may be made at a time during the next few days, they declared. The photographs taken last night were considered important in backing up claims that vegetation exists on Mars. FAIL TO "GET" MARS LONDON, Aug., 23.—Efforts of British scientists to pick up communication from Mars—if there were any—proved unsuccessful, it was officially stated today. At Duclwics, Professor Norman Edwards "listened in" with a 24 valve receiving set. He picked up long harsh dots at regular intervals in groups of five, four and three, but he does not believe they signals from a neighboring planet. The dots had a wave length of 50,000 meters. The Royal Observatory at Greenwich announced observations of Mars but nothing unusual was noted. British scientists gave the impression that nothing new regarding the planet and possible life theron had been gained by the recent visit of Mars. Try a Classified Ad for results. SAVES TRAIN FROM DISASTROUS WRECK OCEANSIDE, Calif., Aug. 23.—Several hundred persons, passengers aboard a northbound Santa Fe train barely escaped death yesterday, it was learned today, when the train was flagged and prevented from a possible wreck before it crashed into a burning pole which was carrying a high voltage of electricity. J. B. Stratton, connected with the local branch of the San Diego Consolidated Gas and Electric Co. was the hero who flagged the train near Del Mar. Service of the Western Union Telegraph Co. was impaired for a short while, it was learned, because the high voltage pole fell across their lines. GRECIAN NAVAL MUTINEERS YIELD ATHENS, Aug. 23.—Greek naval mutineers under the leadership of Captain Kolialexis yielded to the government today and a government order to disarm the entire fleet was cancelled. The fleet is proceeding to Phaleron. Kolialexis surrendered after Captain Hadjikyriakos, former Greek minister of marine, had been appointed mediator. Previously the mutinous leader had been sentenced to two months imprisonment for disobedience. The ministry of marine warned him if he did not give up he would be declared an outlaw. MISS PRINCE LONDON, Aug. 23.—Hundreds of disappointed Londoners went to Waterloo Railway Station this morning to take part in a farewell demonstration for the Prince of Wales, only to find he had left London yesterday. The prince motored to the coast spending the night at a friend's home. He did this to forestal ceremony. LILA LEE HAS SON LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—James Kirkwood, Jr., was announced today as Hollywood's latest arrival. He is the son of Lila Lee, screen star, and his father, James Kirkwood, is also an actor. Scotch and Canadian marks have been seized in attempted landings here lately and other landings have been successful despite vigilance of officers. It was at first believed the liquor landed was genuine, imported stuff but clues have been received by the federal investigators which indicate it is of marine manufacture. 1 DEAD, 2 HURT IN STREET CAR CRASH SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.—A man believed to be Charles E. Hockhurst was killed and Otto H. Wilson conductor and W. H. Graham, motorman, seriously injured when a Market-st. Railway Co. street car early today got out of control on Fulton-st. and, after leaping from the rails, demolished a soft drink parlor at 49th-ave. A fourth man in the car was uninjured. The dead man was pinned between the car and the wall of the building into which the car was hurled. Firemen were called to remove the body which was badly mangled. Wilson and Graham was rushed to hospitals where it wa-said their condition was grave. NEW INQUIRY INTO DEATH OF WOMAN LONG BEACH, Aug. 23.—Authorities here today launched a new investigation into the death of Sadie Kessler Jordan, in connection with which her husband, John A. Jordan, is held in jail. Mrs. Jordan was reported as having fallen down a declivity in Ranier National Park, Wash., sustaining injuries which caused her death, but the authorities asserted this explanation is not satisfactory. Bigamy charges against Jordan have been dismissed. BREAD ADVANCES SAN DIEGO, Aug. 23.—The price of bread will advance 1c and 2c per loaf retail, starting Monday, according to announcement from local bakeries today. Twenty-four ounce loaves that have been retailing for 10c and 11c will advance to 12c per loaf. Recent advances in the price flour and other ingredients given as the cause of the rail prices.
