At first it was reported that the accident had caused little or no damage. Later, however, it was revealed that a hole had been torn in the starboard side of the Robert Smith and that the water pumps had to be called into action while the boat made for the repair base at another end of the harbor.

KLAN POLICY PRINCIPAL OUTLINE Another Large Crook Fairyland The Baltimore Daily Post First Newspaper Facing Action WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—The Baltimore-Daily Post has been indicted for publishing income tax returns, Atty. Gen. Stone announced this afternoon. The attorney general said that the Baltimore paper was the first of a number of periodicals which are to be indicated in order to bring test cases before the United State supreme court. The indictment was returned in the U.S. district court for the District of Maryland and there were five counts, the paper being charged with publishing the tax returns of Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Walter Newcomer, J. Cooman Boyd, Leon C. Coblens and Frank Furst. The indictment was drawn under the revenue act of 1924 which prohibited the printing and publishing of tax returns except as "provided by law." The government holds that publication of the returns in newspapers is not authorized by the statute. Conviction carries with it a fine of not more than $1000 and imprisonment for the publisher for period of not more than one year. The attorney general made the following statement: "This is the first of several test cases which the attorney general has directed United States attorneys in various sections of country to bring against periodicals publishing tax lists with a view to establishing a judicial interpretation of the provisions of section 257 of the revenue act of 1924, which provides that there shall be made available to public inspection in the office of the collector of internal revenue, lists containing the names and postoffice addresses of persons making income tax returns, together with the amounts of income tax paid by such persons. "By section 257 of the revenue act, it is also provided that such returns shall be 'opened to inspection only' and section 108 of the same act re-enacted section 3167 of the revised statutes as amended and provided among other things that 'it shall be unlawful for any person to print or publish in any with the mine sweeper Ortolani in the harbor during a heavy fog. At first it was reported that the accident had caused little or no damage. Later, however, it was revealed that a hole had been torn in the starboard side of the Robert Smith and that the water pumps had to be called into action while the boat made for the repair base at another end of the harbor. The bow of the Ortolani was also lushed in somewhat it was learned. TURN WATER BACK INTO AQUEDUCT ALABAMA HILLS SPILLWAY, Inyo-co., Nov. 20.—The massive iron gates of the Los Angeles aqueduct were closed here today and $10,000 worth of water which, since Sunday, had daily been diverted from the canal by Owens Valley raiders, again began its rush to Los Angeles. Capitulating in their war against Los Angeles over the Owens Valley water rights, the leaders of the little militant band called a truce and closed the water gates early today after a hastily called night conference. The sudden surrender of the aqueduct "alegers" was made after W. W. Watterson, Owens Valley banker and rancher, had telegraphed leaders of the raiders pleading with them to give up the aqueduct. Watterson declared such action should be taken on promises to him from the Los Angeles clearing house association that if the water was turned back the valley property owners "would get a square deal." ALABAMA HILLS SPILLWAY, Inyo-co., Nov. 20.—Declaring a truce in their fight with the city of Los Angeles, the Owens Valley raiders turned the water back into the Los Angeles aqueduct early today. As soon as the gates were lowered, employees of the water department of Los Angeles took charge and the raiding party's guards were called off. Two hundred men and fifty women in the Owens contingent shouted and cheered as the huge gate settled into place. The defenders camp orchestra played with the mine sweeper Ortolani in the harbor during a heavy fog. At first it was reported that the accident had caused little or no damage. Later, however, it was revealed that a hole had been torn in the starboard side of the Robert Smith and that the water pumps had to be called into action while the boat made for the repair base at another end of the harbor. The bow of the Ortolani was also lushed in somewhat it was learned. Another Large Creek Fairyland The Last Night The policies and printings of the Ku Klux Klan were last night to a crowd who meded the lower floor of the land theatre, and partied the balcony, by Rev. Horley, national klan lecturer speaker was introduced by Leon L. Myers, local klan who also later delivered vocation. The speaker started out ing the obligation that they man takes to the state and said that "if you can describe to that" that "you an American." The which he read was as follows: "I most solemnly assert firm to to the governor of the United States of America any State thereof of which become a resident I sacred an unqualified allegiance any other and every kindernment in the whole here and now pledge my property my vote, and my honor to uphold its flag, institution, its constitutional will protect defend, and same unto death. "I most solemnly prosecute that I will always times and in all places and assist the duly constricted of their legal duty. "I swear that I will ousely and valiantly preserve by any and all means and methods the sextitutional rights and private public schools, free free press, separation and state, liberty, white acry, just laws and purity fitness against any enemy of any nature by any persons, political party or religious sect or people naturalized or foreign oth color, creed, linage or whatsoever." "All to which I have this OATH I will seal blood; be thou my wife mighty God. Amen." He also read an article Los Angeles Times of Lok which it outlined the killer at the polls on November 18th in every place, exception of Texas, "By section 257 of the revenue act, it is also provided that such returns shall be 'opened to inspection only' and section 108 of the same act re-enacted section $167 of the revised statutes as amended and provided among other things that "it shall be unlawful for any persons to print or publish in any manner whatever not provided by law any income returns or any part thereof" and further, it provides that "any offense against the foregoing provisions shall be a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $1000 or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, at the discretion of the court." It was pointed out that the attorney general expressed the view shortly after the tax lists throut the country were opened to public inspection that here was nohing in the law which appeared to authorize the general publication of such lists. Department officials said the same view was expressed by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair, who issued warnings that newspapers publishing tax lists were doing so in violation of the law. The indictment said that when the returns were made available in the Baltimore internal revenue office, they were not, however, to be printed or published in newspapers or public prints. DEFENSE CLOSES SACRAMENTO, Nov. 20.—Attorneys for James Martin, 71, cattleman of Michigan Bar, charged with the murder of Jas, Mayhan, neighbor, announced the defense closed today after Dr. Wilder and Dr. John W. Calinon, local alienists, testified that the defendant was a "constitutional psychopath inferior and incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong," when he shot and killed Mayhan Nov. 24, 1923. Dr. E. W. Twitchell of San Francisco yesterday pronounced similar judgment. Dist. Atty. Henderson manifested surprise and asked for time to consider his course of action, which was granted by Judge Chias. Busick. ALABAMA HILLS INFORMATION Inyo-co., Nov. 20.—Declarating a truce in their fight with the city of Los Angeles, the Owens Valley raiders turned the water back into the Los Angeles aqueduct early today. As soon as the gates were lowered, employees of the water department of Los Angeles took charge and the raiding party's guards were called off. Two hundred men and fifty women in the Owens contingent shouted and cheered as the huge gates settled into place. The defenders' camp orchestra played a merry tune and the men threw hats in the air. A barbecue to celebrate what was termed a victory for the valley residents was to be held this afternoon. Harry Glasscock, Owens Valley newspaper publisher and one of the raid leaders, issued a statement explaining the truce. The statement said: "The action of the citizens of Owens Valley in turning the water back into the aqueduct was taken voluntarily upon the promise of the Los Angeles clearing house association to use every effort to bring about an equitable settlement of the water troubles between Los Angeles and the valley. "Replying upon this promise, the people have gladly taken this action and hope the newspapers and the general public will stand behind the efforts of the association to end forever this trouble. "A square deal is all the people here ask." LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20.—W. W. Watterson, Owens Valley banker, whose telegram brought an end today to the seizure of the headgates of this city' aqueduct, has been in Los Angeles for three days in conference with business men and city officials.

PRINCIPLES OUTLINED Another Large Crowd at Fairyland Theatre Last Night The policies and principles of the Ku Klux Klan were outlined last night to a crowd which jammed the lower floor of the Fairyland theatre, and partially filled the balcony, by Rev. Horace Lackey, national klan lecturer. The speaker was introduced by Rev. Leon L. Myers, local klan cyclops, who also later delivered the invocation. The speaker started out by reading the obligation that the klansman takes to the state and nation, and said that "if you can't subscribe to that" that "you are not an American." The obligation which he read was as follows: "I most solemnly assert and affirm that to the government of the United States of America and any State thereof of which I may become a resident I sacredly swear an unqualified allegiance above any other and every kind of government in the whole world. I here and now pledge my life, my property my vote, and my sacred honor to uphold its flag, its constitution, its constitutional laws, and will protect, defend, and enforce same unto death. "I most solemnly promise and swear that I will always, at all times and in all places help, aid and assist the duly constituted officers of the law in the proper performance of their legal duties."

SELECT SITE FOR PHONE BUILDING The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co., has secured a site for its new building on the west side of No. Lemon-st between Chartres and Cypress, Manager E. A. Beard of the local exchange admitted today. This is the first definite progress so far announced toward the improvement which has been rumored for a year or two past. Reports, partly confirmed, put the cost of the new structure at $100,000 and its material common brick with enamel brick front. The new exchange building will be one of the finest in Orange-co, it is declared. E. S. Morrow of Santa Ana, to whom B.S. Morrow referred inquiries, said that the date of construction had not been set, and could not discuss the plans in detail. The local exchange has been growing rapidly, many new operators being added to the force, to accommodate increasing business. CANADA WILL HELP U.S. IN DOPE WAR GENEVIA, Nov. 20—"Canada is hand in hand with the United States on the opium question," Delegate Nealand of Canada announced at the morning session of the international opium conference. "Canada feels that the traffic is easy to suppress because it is impossible to manufacture opium" MADE UP TO NOON Officers Still Looking For Bootleggers This Afternoon SANTA ANA, Nov. 20.—Led by secret service operatives sent by Dr. S.T. Montgomery of the Anti-Saloon League for So.Cal., a country-wide series or liquor raids was successfully conducted by federal, county and city officers last night, and is still in progress today. The county jail here is filled with prisoners netted in the sweep and the city jails at Fullerton, Anahiem, Huntington Beach and other points also have their capacity crowded to the utmost. They are held on charges of selling and being in possession of liquor. The arrests up to noon today, totalling 52, were divided as follows: Santa Ana, 17; Fullerton, 13; Anahiem, 4; Huntington Beach, 16; Sunset Beach, 1; Orane, 1. The plans for the bootleggers' drive were all carefully laid and kept as a carefully guarded secret until the last moment. The raid, the largest ever staged in So.Cal., and possibly in much as a general world direct his army in a decisive battle. Police officers from virtually every city and hamlet in the county took their places, carried out their orders, made their arrest, all simultaneously, allowing no time for one section of the county to notify the other. In all, approximately 50 officers participated in the raid. Very few knew all the plans, and when one group of officers met with another they did not know the others were "in" on the raid, so secret were the plans for the big raid kept. So carefully veiled were the plans for the raid that when officers ordered to go to Fullerton to meet at a general headquarters that only one officer in each group knew where to lead the men. The Santa Ana officers led by Chief Criminal Deputy Ed McClelland were taken to one part of Fullerton where they were kept for an hour-awaiting their turn at the base of operations. The master mind of the law enforcers was taking no chance that booze runners be "tipped" off. Other groups were handled in the same manner, and scores of officers who did theirThat Al Pape, man liecman who was caught of dry raiders; could would be appointed A police in the event club was successful four dry councillimen; to today by detective the investigation.

He also read an article from the Los Angeles Times of Nov. 6 in which it outlined the klan victory at the polls on November 4, saying that in every place, with the exception of Texas, the klan candidates were swept into office. He said that some had said that the klan was killed at the Democratic convention in New York, but he said he would leave it to his hearers which was the deadest on Nov. 4, the klan or the Democratic party. He gave as the reason for the klan victory at the polls that the people, in spite of the invective apleen and misrepresentation heaped upon it by the press, were coming to recognize it for what he affirmed it is—an all-American organization. He said the klan is not anti anything, but that it is pro-American first, last and all the time. He said that the klan is composed of six organizations, the chief one being the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. To be eligible for membership in this a man must be a native-born, white, gentle protestant American, 18 years old. Then there is a women's organization, with the same requirements except the age, which is 16; two junior organizations for boys and girls, 12 years and over; and two organizations for the foreign-born naturalized American men and women. The numerical strength of the klan at the present time, he said, is about 12 millions. There are from 35 to 40 million eligibles in the U.S., he said. He spoke of the opposition the klan had received from the first from the press, voicing in no uncertain words his contempt for the usual type of newspaper man, who he said, would sell his soul for yellow gold and seemed totally devoid of any spark of patriotism. The average newspaper, especially the metropolitan daily, is not a newspaper, but a propaganda sheet, he said. The news it does give is perverted. Here and there in smaller towns you will find an editor who has not sold his soul (Continued on Page Eight) CANADA WILL HELP U. S. IN DOPE WAR GENEVA, Nov. 20.—Canada is hand in hand with the United States on the opium question." Delegate Nealand of Canada announced at the morning session of the international opium conference. "Canada feels that the traffic is easy to suppress because it is impossible to manufacture opium clandestinely," he added. Dr. Szee leader of the Chinese delegation thanked the United States for its interest in China. "China needs the sort of encouragement America is giving in combatting the evil," he said. "Opium is a matter of life or death for thousands of Chinese." The Egyptian delegate asked that Hasheesh which claims many addicts in the near east, be included in the discussions of the conference. SLAVS WON'T PAY STOCKHOLM, Nov. 20.—Russia has resolved not to pay its debt to France, but is willing to transfer to France all the French iron and coal concessions which have become nationalized under the Soviet regime, as well as make important new concessions, according to advises reaching here from Russia. In the house, however, activity was very much apparent. Justices of the peace, from virtually every section of the county were sigging some 150 warrants, stenographers were busy making out warrants, plans were being discussed among leaders, men were being dispatched here and there, courlers were being sent to one section of the county and to the other (Continued on Page Eight) PROPERITY TALKS No. 2 By E. A. Beard, Manager of Anaheim Telephone Exchange "YOU ASK ME why I think the tide of prosperity is rising again? Naturally I judge primarily by my own business. During the last few weeks local calls at this exchange have increased from 8,000 to 9,000 daily, and toll calls from 500 to 600. That may not sound very big, but it amounts to 12% per cent and 20 per cent respectively. We are now employing four toll operators instead of three in each of the main shifts and seven local instead of five. Neither the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., nor I have ever lost confidence in the uninterrupted growth of Anaheim. This is evidenced by the fact that in the last three years the number of operators' positions have been practically doubled. During the same period also we have improved our toll service. Calls to Long Beach no longer are routed via Los Angeles, whose businesses are congested, causing delays in service. The necessary trunk cables for the general expansion were provided here a year ago."

That Al Pape, merchants' police man who was caught in the net of dry raiders; considered he would be appointed Anaheim chief of police in the event the U.S.A. club was successful in recall of four dry councilmen, was testified to today by detectives who made the investigation. It was already generally known Pape had told a number of Anaheim and Santa Ana people, including police officers, that he would be marshal if the U.S.A. club was successful. The prohibition enforcement officers reported Pape was very wily in his alleged illicit operations. "Pape told us that he didn't want to sell us a nickel's worth of stuff now for fear of its effect on his political future," said an investigator. "He declared there was going to be a recall election in Anaheim and if the dry councilmen were defeated he was going to be the next chief of police. When I'm chief of police you boys will get all the protection you want." Pape told us. "Till give you badges and I'll make the stuff out at say place and sell it to you right."

Federal operatives said Pape stood a good chance of fine and jail sentence as well as loss of his Packard because it was a "plain case of wholesaling."

Sidelights On Big Raid One Santa Ana druggist, who yet has not been apprehended, telegraphed to Prohibition Director Weymouth's office in Los Angeles this morning, offering to give himself up to the authorities. Prior to his "confession" it was understood no one of the authorities suspected him. Orange-co., officials will insist, it was made known today, that all druggists and prominent men, as well as those under arrest who have been habitual offenders, be tried in federal courts. Stiff penalties are in prospect in the federal courts, it was made plain. MOVE THROU ORANGE-CO Over 500 Bootleggers in Orange-Co., Say Investigators Coming like a bolt out of a clear sky, dry raiders last night combed Orange-co., with 150 warrants of arrest for violation of the prohibition laws in what Dr. S. T. Montgomery, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league for So. Cal., declared was the most thorow and carefully planned piece of work of this kind ever pulled off in the state. At that, the investigators concede they got only one violator out of four, agreeing that at least 500 men, women and firms have been handling liquor illegally in the county. Enmeshed in the raiders' net were doctors, druggists, wholesale bootleggers and hip-pocket dispensers. The raid was planned by Special Investigator E. S.' Ward, the "Ixzy Eisenstein" of California, and his crew of dry sleuths, in cooperation with W. A. Weymouth, head of the U.S. prohibition enforcement department in Los Angeles, police officers of Anaheim and Fullerton and deputy sheriffs. The "exhibits" represent an investment of about $2000, enough to have stocked a saloon in the old days. They fill a good-sized room. The liquor is mostly of the vilest kind, there being only two or three purchases of bonded stuff Most of it is plain moonshine or bootleg and it has been a problem to keep the corks from popping out of the bottles. There is every sort of container from half pint whiskey bottles to five-gallon water jugs. Some is in pickle jars, mason jars, jugs, flasks, etc. Some of the moonshine is skimmy-looking stuff and some is so full of either that its fumes are stifling. Judge Charles Kuchel, ardent advocate of law enforcement, said: "I have known there was bootlegging, of course; but I never dreamed it was so extensive. This citizens who promoted this raid certainly deserve the heartiest commendation of all law-abiding people. What will become of this country if such a state of affairs is permitted to continue for as much as five years longer." Ten weeks ago at a social gathering of a small group of Anaheim and Fullerton citizens, the L. A. Wirt of Anaheim, alias Garcia, was also lodged in the Fullerton jail on the charge of violating the Volstead act, and was later released to the federal authorities. Federal officials did not divulge names of all those they arrested and removed to Los Angeles. The 150 warrants of arrest does not mean there will be 150 individual arrests as federal and local warrants duplicate in several instances.

Cards Weymouth's office in Los Angeles this morning, offering to give himself up to the authorities. Prior to his "confession" it was understood no one of the authorities suspected him. Orange-co. officials will insist, it was made known today that all drummers and prominent men, as well as those under arrest who have been habitual offenders, be tried in federal courts. Stiff penalties are in prospect in the federal courts, it was made plain. Lester Nelson, 25-year-old meter reader of Santa Ana, was in a roadster with a nurse from a Santa Ana hospital when he was arrested. As the nurse had to be back on duty at 10:30 p.m. Nelson had to telephone a brother to take charge of the young woman. Virtually every warrant that was issued came after federal agents had made an investigation. In most cases, it was declared by those in charge, sales were made to the federal agents. In order to have a check another government man was sent around to purchase liquor. In most cases it was said he was successful. The youngest person arrested was Viola Martin, 12 years old. The girl is the daughter of G. W. Martin, Santa Ana fruit peddler. Though she is not being held on a liquor charge, federal men declare they have evidence her father sent her to deliver a flask. Juvenile authorities took her in charge. When Ed McClellan, chief criminal deputy sheriff of Santa Ana, and Charles Dausman, federal operative, raided the pool room at Huntington Beach of Charles Denigan, the latter hurled four full bottles of the contraband liquor at them. He ran to the rear of his establishment and fought to stay off arrest. He was wearing a bandage on his head at the county jail this morning and his shirt was covered with blood. So far as could be traced, he was the only person in southern Orange-co that resisted arrest or showed violence. More than 100 gallons of wines and whiskeys were stored in the sheriff's office at Santa Ana today, the result of the all-night raid. Judge Charles Kuchel, ardent advocate of law enforcement, said: "I have known there was bootlegging, of course; but I never dreamed it was so extensive. This citizens who promoted this raid certainly deserve the heartiest commendation of all law-abiding people. What will become of this country if such a state of affairs is permitted to continue for as much as five years longer." Ten weeks ago at a social gathering of a small group of Anaheim and Fullerton citizens, the subject of law enforcement was introduced and the suggestion offered that an effort be made toward greater co-operation with public officials. A committee sought advice from Dr. Montgomery who stated he had observed the operations of Investigator Ward and his crew for two years and could give them his fullest endorsement. Accordingly the investigators were brot here with last night's noteworthy results. The citizens spent $6000 for the investigation. It is predicted the fines will run from $40,000 to $75,000. Ward and his crew have pulled off some very successful raids in other So. Cal counties but last night's was the biggest yet. At Oxnard, while a prohibition speaker was addressing a largely attended mass meeting. Ward and his crew pulled a raid which included the obtaining of sufficient evidence to lock the doors to eight places of property owned by a leading public official. The effectiveness of the co-operation of No. Orange-co. citizens special investigators, federal officers and local peace officers so impressed Dr. Montgomery that he called a gathering of officials in Los Angeles last Saturday afternoon. As a little respite from his work in Orange-co., Investigator Ward was turned loose in Los Angeles and before Sunday night had "knocked over" 18 bootlegers, including purchases of liquor by trunk. One of the spectacular features of the operations was the capture of J.D.Ross of Los Angeles in his Ford coupe, with five cases of liquor. He was instructed to follow (Continued on Page Eight) The Ladies of the First Presbyterian church will hold a gift and delicatessen sale in the Angelina Kramer Building, Saturday Nov. 22nd.
