At four o'clock police placed the casualty list at one dying and ten injured. They declared earlier reports of deaths had proven unfounded.
Col. Connelly ordered all strangers in Niles to leave immediately for their homes and notified Klan officials that the scheduled parade could not be held.
Two hundred anti-Klansmen, armed with sawed-off shot guns and swords, massed at street intersections, strategic points thru which all traffic bound to the Klan rally must pass. They stopped all traffic. The shooting occurred when the anti-Klansmen at tempted to stop a Klan machine.

Otter w. Hampshire, 4; Delaware, Colorado, 6; Nebraska, 8; New Jersey, 14; Indiana, 15; New York, 45. Total, 95.
This makes a grand total of 284 votes, a margin of 18 over the 266 majority required for election.
The deflection of either New Jersey or Indiana and one of the tiny states could be suffered in this table and still the Democrata could win, but the loss of New York could not be suffered, nor have the Democratic managers been able to figure any combination of states outside of New York that would give Davis 266 in the college. Of the states listed above the Democrata count themselves as certain of 189, the same comprising the solid south and the border states, normally Democratic territory. This is their real minimum. In no event do the Democrats anticipate going below this figure.
On the Republican side, the managers, while claiming totals to high as 391 in the electoral college, actually expect to have wound 300. The figure of 391 is based upon the Democrata carring nothing except what Cox carried, the low tide of Democratacompartment in modern political highway, and LaFollette carrieing except Wisconsin. It then represents their hopes.
Minimum hopes run as 390, but no lower, accorded inside figures. The "million table" of the Republicanangers follows:

Republican Governors, Phones No. W., Class S.
The Knights of the Flaming Circle, anti-Klan organization, early today, Judge Heffernan, of the Youngstown municipal court, this morning called Gov. Donahy by long distance phone and made another request that troops be dispatched here immediately.
"Unless troops are in Niles by o'clock, bloodshed is certain," the governor was told.
Dawn saw the town—birthplace of Pres. Wm. McKinley—filling up with Klansmen from Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. They came by all means of transportation and by S o'clock the main streets were well filled with crowds apparently divided practically evenly between Klan and anti-Klan.
Trouble has been threatening here since Mayor Harvey C. Kistler elected mayor last year with Klan support. Issued a permit for a Klan parade this afternoon.
Rumors of impending trouble continued to pour into police headquarters during the night. One report was that the local Ku Klux Klan had removed arms and ammunition from a local store to a field north of the city, where the parade is scheduled to form this afternoon.
Another report said that the anti-Klan faction had placed mines underneath the street at several spots where the Klan parade was to pass. Sheriff's deputies and detectives after an investigation declared these stories unfounded.
Two explosions rocked the city early today, but no damage was done. Officials were unable to fix the responsibility for these blasts.
The blasts occurred in two vacant lots and the police believed they were set off by one of the contending factions with the purpose of terrorizing the other.
Mayor Harvey C. Kistler spent the night outside the city, according to information at police headquarters.

SAYS CHARGE OF "SLUSH" CONFIRMED
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 1—Testimony before the Boran committee, investigating campaign contributions and expenditures "has confirmed my charges that the beneficiaries of special privileges were collecting a huge slush fund to buy the election of Coolidge and Dawes in doubtful states," Sen. Robert W. LaFollette announced upon his arrival here today.
It has been proved, LaFollette said, in flairant violation of the law, the Republicans have been collecting this huge slush fund from baggers, federal office holders a favored interests.
Completing a 700-mile swing through the east and middle west, LaFollette formally will close his independent presidential campaign tonight with the Republican National Convention, and where, in a message to the conference for progressive political action, he first announces his candidacy for the presidency.
LaFollette's attack upon the Republicans was coupled with the prediction again that the Progressive ticket would "win at the polls" Tuesday.
"Ever since I announced my candidacy, the beneficiaries of special privilege have been preparing for this day," LaFollette declared. "Several weeks ago at Scranton I charged they were collecting a huge slush fund to buy the election of Coolidge and Dawes in doubtful states. Subsequently, the senate committee investigating election contributions and expenditures has heard witnesses who have confirmed my charges."
"We are nearing the close of the greatest campaign in a generation," he continued. "On Tuesday the American people will decide between the forces of reaction and the forces of"
Walsh Says 75 pct. of Republican Fund is From Corporations
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—While the senate campaign fund committee met today to determine what kind of a report to make on the pre-election investigation of political expenditures, Frank P. Walsh, attorney for Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, issued a formal statement charging that 75 per cent of the $3,700,000 Republican campaign fund came from "the representatives of the great corporate interests."
"The bulk of the Republican fund," Walsh declared, "has come from the big bankers, the packers and the magnates who monopolize oil, steel, coal, aluminum, leather, sugar, copper and textiles, the railroads and public utilities." When subjected to close scrutiny, the list of Republican contributors yields the names of officers and directors in every large industrial and financial combination in the country.
Walsh also charged that the "banking firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. has underwritten the Republican campaign fund," altho Morgan's name does not appear as a Republican contributor.
"Not one industry which relies upon exorbitant tariff duties, to maintain extortionate profits, is missing from the list," Walsh said. "Corporations and individuals interested in the Mellon plan of tax reduction are abundantly represented."
Even more shocking is the circumstances that contributions were listed from numerous individuals directly interested as co-defendants in anti-trust suits, prosecutions for fraud upon the government and persons directly interested in tax refund cases, oil cases, flexible tariff adjustments. If other proceedings now pend-an either in the courts or in the give departments at Washington, the basis of the data now "upon it can be stated as made public by banking firm of J. P. Morgan Republican campaign ten funds."
Whilst if does not appear in all contributors thus far the analysis shows that report company, together the Main great industrial and with a interest which it controls, name chief contributor to the Re-lian campaign fund."
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 1—S. P. passenger trains in southern Oregon were stopped Friday night by flood waters from the North Umpqua river.

The Willamette river has left its bank at Eugene and the highway is covered with water in many places. Serious flood conditions are feared if the rain continues after falling steadily for seven days.

POLE PULLED FROM P. E. TRACKS
Quickly dragging a 30-ft. telephone pole from across the Pacific Electric tracks near Santa Ana, last night, police of that city averted a certain tragedy for occupants of an electric car. Hallow-e'en pranksters were blamed by officers.
The heavy pole was discovered across the rails by a woman living near Artesia-st, where, in the shadows of grove trees, the potential death purveyor had been placed. She ran to a neighbor's telephone and exitedly told police at headquarters of her discovery.
Fearful their arrival on the scene might be too late to prevent a wreck the officers drove at utmost speed thrue the business district and down a side street to the tracks.
A few tuggs and the pole was removed and as the officers sat down to recover their breath, a trolley half filled with passengers speeded by.
An investigation was being made in an effort to prosecute the guilty revelers.
RED GRANGE RUNS WILD ONCE MORE
URBANA, Ill., Nov. 1.—With Red Grange breathing fistance and the fumes of chlorine gas, the University of Illinois, modern dragon of the Big Ten rolled right over Iowa, to a 36 to 0 decision this afternoon. It was the holiest kind of victory. Grange scoring two touchdowns in the first eight minutes of play and the Illinois finishing the first quarter no less than 19 points to the good. From that point onward, was a cross country run not a football game.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1—Further testimony to show that the details of the E. L. Doheny contract for the Pearl Harbor naval dual oil storage project were kept secret at the dictation of the navy department to prevent the revelation of the navy's war defense plans, and not because ex-Secy. of the Interior A. B. Fall wanted to conceal the Doheny deal, featured the federal court trial today in the governments oil contract and lease cancellation suit.
Specific instructions from the navy department to withhold from the public the oil storage project plans, were read into the court record from navy department correspondence introduced as evidence by Frank J. Hogan, chief defense counsel.
A letter from Theodore Roosevelt, acting secretary of the navy at the time to Fall, telling of the navy department's anxiety to keep the Pearl Harbor plans confidential, was the outstanding communication in the correspondence read by Hogan to prove the defense contention that the secrecy which surrounded the Doheny contract was not of Fall's making.
Terms of the alternative bid of the E. L. Doheny oil interests for construction of the Pearl Harbor naval fuel oil storage project were so advantageous to the government that the engineer who drew up the bid and another official of the Doheny concern hoped the bid would be turned down, it was testified.
Acceptance of the alternative bid meant that the Doheny company would lose all profit on the contract and give the government the benefit of any saving made in the construction work, according to Gano Dunn, president of the White Engineering Corp., who drew Doe.
CALIFORNIA MEMORIAN STADIUM, Nov. 1—Making the greatest bid for Pacific Coast gridiron supremacy, the U.S.C. football team met California's undefeated eleven here this afternoon in what figured to be one of the hardest fought games of the year.

The crowd was below expectations, it being estimated that only 40,000 found their way in to the bowl.
Neither U.S.C. nor California presented their strongest lineup for injuries and inefficiency rules kept some of the best players on the side lines.
California was first on the field, coming out at 2:15 p.m. The rooting section of the Golden Bear's went wild, the team being cheered for ten minutes.
