OFFICERS ARREST AL PAPE (Continued from Page One) ary," declared another officer. Pape, who as a "liberal" candidate for council at last spring's election was allowed under, has been one of the most active advocates of the U. S. A. club's attempt to recall Anaheim's four dry councilmen. He is credited with making the boast that he directed circulators of the U. S. A. club's recall petitions to 200 signers. Some time ago Anaheim's four dry councilmen, for hesitating to give Pape a badge and gun, were seethingly denounced by an afternoon paper, recognized as the organ of the U.S.A. club and violent in its attacks on the administration. Last week the Plain Dealer was denounced by the same organ for printing a story that Pape had been sent a $140 bill by a local creamery for milk, alleged to have been handed out over a long period. As a result of the article in the U.S.A. club organ, the manager of the creamery declared he had stopped the leak but declared he feared to press the suit for the $140 following threats of boycott. He said three customers had ordered him to stop delivery of milk to their homes. It was declared today that Pape remained loyal to the "United Soaks Ass'n", still wearing his U.S.A. button in his federal cell. When arrested early yesterday he was taken to Fullerton jail, where he was entered as "en route to federals." Shortly before noon he was removed to CITIZENS LOANED FUNDS FOR RAID The effectiveness of the countywide liquor raid last night was due largely to the fact that a group of public-spirited citizens had advanced funds for employment of investigators and "buyers" of liquor, declared Dr. S.T. Montgomery. The local citizens advanced $6000. “This has always been one of the biggest handicaps in the war on bootleggers, even with the federal prohibition enforcement department,” continued Montgomery. The citizens will be reimbursed from fines which may run from $40,000 to $60,000. Fullerton has an ordinance supplying the marshall with necessary funds for this purpose. In Santa Ana an ordinance provides $100 for the one who furnishes convicting evidence. Anaheim's four dry councilmen have recognized the need of such funds. However, G.J. Stock, last member of the old wet political machine on the city council, has consistently refused to sign such warrants despite the large income accruing to the city from enforcement of the liquor laws. This is one of the reasons given for the recall attempt against Stock.

When federal officers stepped up to his car and informed him he was under arrest, he was a most surprised young man. He explained: "You haven't been playing fair with me!" The officer replied that he had been flirting with a federal detective. Incidently, some of the most effective operatives on Ward's crew are "flappers" who can vamp the most astute bootlegger. The operatives get their leads in diverse ways. A 12-year-old school girl told her playmates: My father drinks whiskey and so does my mother. Sometimes I do too. My father sells it, also, but he's too slick for the police." He was numbered among the 50 last night. To an Anaheim woman goes the distinction of being one of the most extensive bootleggers, according to the raiders, who claim they have on charges of manufacturing and transportation, four counts of sale and one marked money buy, some in Anaheim and some in Fullerton. Also, she is declared to operate a still with her husband between Anaheim and Fullerton. Jim Snyder of the Erie Hotel, Fullerton, was one of the first arrested last night. He is credited with the sale of three gallons of oil for $36. He may also face a charge of conspiracy, officers stated, for alleged direction of the operatives to the purchase of a case of bonded liquor. While the citizens' committee first started the investigation with the idea of cleaning up No. Orange county the operatives very soon found their investigations led them to So. Orange-co. and Los Angeles. The committee told them to go ahead and the investigation was expanded accordingly. The almost unbelievable exactness results in this midnight. KLAN POLICY AND PRINCIPLES TOLD (Continued from Page One) for gold, and in this Anaheim is no exception, he said. All others the klan is glad to have for its enemies because to be a friend to the klan they too must come with clean hands, he said. Just now he affirmed that the newspapers of the county which started out to fight the klan are in sad dilemma of having the ku klux bear by the tail and not knowing how to let go. He said that there are three classes of people who oppose the klan, the uninformed, the misinformed and the ones who need the attention of the American people. The uninformed are those who don't know what the klan is, and therefore are in no position to give an opinion. These, he said, should post themselves. The klan is here to stay. You can't drive it out. You are going to continue to have klansmen for neighbors. Therefore you ought to find out what it is. He said that the klan has projected itself into every phase of American life, that nevertheless it tends strictly to its own business, is going to continue to do so, but that it is going to win in the United States, or the United States is going to fall. He advised that if you hear anyone denounce the klan as lawless you had better look into their own records. He was especially severe on a preacher who would get into his pulpit and denounce the klan. Such a preacher, he said, is unworthy to occupy a protestant pulpit. If he denounces the klan, knowing what it is, he is un-American; if he denounces it not knowing what it is, he's too ignorant to preach. One preacher from Passadena came to the Methodist Conference wanting to pass a resolution denouncing the klan. He didn't get anywhere. There were a few preachers in that convention who didn't belong to the klan. They were awfully lonesome. Such men should learn how many klansmen are preachers, and how many $100 IN GIRL FRIDAY AND SALE 52 ARRESTS IN RAID TO NOON (Continued from Page One) ers. Various groups of officers were reporting and being assigned. The presence of several women to various towns, operatives, wearing big gold badges, and carrying pearl handled, engraved pistols, and dressed for rough work, added mystery and a dramatic atmosphere to the occasion. One woman was dressed in white, with white boots, white corduroy breeches and a white sweater. Her golden hair matched this combination remarkably well. For weeks secret service operatives have been gathering evidence in the county. The women have played a big part in this and were on the job last night to point out the men whom they claimed they had bought liquor from. They "knew their stuff," and their presence along with the scores of officers, spread fear into the ranks of the liquor vendors. The raiding party, although not making exclusive search for liquor, but equipped with warrants signed by justices on alleged sales of several days and weeks ago, nevertheless collected some 50 salaries made there, and piction.

Orange-co. and Los Angeles, time after time leads were directed to Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Newport, Seal Cah and Los Angeles. The committee told them to go ahead and the investigation was expanded accordingly. The almost unbelievable exactness with which it was launched, and the whirlwind manner in which the raiders swept over the county struck terror into those against whom the raid was directed. The presence of women in the ranks of the raiding forces gave one raid the atmosphere more of crusade than the prosic work of peace officers carrying out orders. The Federal men and the peace officers divided into five squads totalling more than 50 assembled at various points and came together at a center meeting place. The actual work of the raid was conducted under the direction of Federal Prohibition Agent-in-charge Weymouth and his assistants, Tyson, Plunkett, Dausmon and O'Leary. They were joined by an imposing force of men from the heriiff's office of Orange county under Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff McClellan. City marshals and constables from nearly every community were numbered among the raiders. Secrecy was the byword of the night. When the raiders left their arduous districts for the central gathering place they did not know what was coming off." The masser mind of the raid was taking no chance on a possible leak and a tip to the booze-runners. The home of William Starbuck, located in an orange grove on the outskirts of Fullerton, proved to be the base of operations for the raiders. It was there that about 40 complaints and search warrants were sworn to for persons and places located all over the county. Dr. Montgomery president of the Nati-Saloon League, was also present and took an active part in tagging the raid. A number of women interested themselves in the preparations for the raid. So complete were the plans for the raid, and so carefully did the raiders guard against a possible slipping off of their plans, that the matter of swearing to the search warrants was delayed until the moment each raiding party was ready to start for the scene of action. To accomplish this, peace officers from the several communities gathered at headquarters brought with them the justices of justice from some communities. He confined his address chiefly to the question of white supremacy. He gave a short history of the klan, going back to the original one in the '60s. Abraham Lincoln the friend of the south, was dead. The southern states were ruled by the black man, one generation removed from barbarism. The time has never yet come when the black man was qualified to rule over the white man. But there seemed no hope. Then out of the darkness spring forth the klan, General Robert K. Lee, General Albert Pike of Arkansas, a Scottish rite mason, and many other noted sons of the south, were among its leading lights. Delivery came, and the klan passed away. Put the memory of it was clear to many southern hearts. And in 1915 some of the members of the old klan wilt hothers, met in Georgia and reorganized it knew this time to preach the doctrines of Americanism. The klan did not prosper as well as it might. It made many mistakes. It had many Judases and Benedlet Arnolds. But bye and bye it grew and spread out until it came to be recognized as a national organization. The chief cause for the klan, he said, was the fact that the immigration to America had switched from northern to southern Europe, from the strong Nordic peoples who composed America in the beginning, and were quick to learn what America means, to those weaker, inferior peoples along the Mediterranean who do not become assimilated into American life. America was fast becoming weakened, and continued immigration from those countries meant America's decadence. Ninety-two percent of those who composed the original 13 states were of British descent, and the greater part of the remainder from Germany, France, Holland, and the Scandinavian countries. Less than one per cent would now be ineligible to klan membership. America was founded by white Protestant, gentiles, and the klan means to keep it that way, he said. Fifty-three out of 56 signers of MURRAY AND BILL AT CALL For weeks secret service operatives have been gathering evidence in the county. The women have played a big part in this and were on the job last night to point out the men whom they claimed they had bought liquor from. They "knew their stuff," and their presence along with the scores of officers, spread fear into the ranks of the liquor vendors. The raiding party, although not making exclusive search for liquor, but equipped with warrants signed by justicees on alleged sales of several days and weeks ago, nevertheless collected some 50 gallons of booze." One of the largest "finds" was at the place of Mrs. Carrie Buckley, a Santa Ana waitress, where officers found a cellar containing some 17 gallons of wine. When officers raided her home she admitted she had a little wine for my own consumption," she raided. The youngest case recorded was that of a little 12-year-old girl, arrested in Santa Ana. Her father was also arrested and spent last night in jail. The girl was taken to the juvenile home for the night. Officers claimed the father made the whiskey and forced the daughter to sell it. She was "hard boll-ed" when first arrested, but finally broke under the strain and was led off with tears streaming down her face. In larger cities of the county, only one town was missed by the raiding party and this possibly because operatives who had been gathering evidence in the county for the last ten weeks did not have time to get there. The town was Orange. Only one arrest Staging the raid. A number of women interested themselves in one preparations for the raid. So complete were the plans for the raid, and so carefully did the raiders guard against a possible slipping off of their plans, that the matter of swearing to the search warrants was delayed until the moment each raiding party was ready to start for the scene of action. To accomplish this, peace officers from the several communities gathered at headquarters brought with them the justices of peace from some communities. The chairman of the committee then stepped up, went through his lines, and the justice of the peace issued the warrants. The captain of the raiding squad pocketed his warrants, the party jumped into waiting automobiles and were off to do their stuff. A corps of stenographers was kept busy at this private house filling out the warrants with the names and address of persons and places to be raided. Thus it was that until each raiding party was on its way nobody but one or two leaders knew just who was to be raided and when. As one of the raiders styled it, the storm clouds gathered at the private house in the orange grove and the lightning began to strike all over the country. Newspaper men who were present and witnessed the coming together of the raiders and the method of putting the raid into action declared that it was one of the most thoroughly and carefully planned raids of any seen in this part of the country. Each one appeared to have his particular role to play and he played it. The whole thing moved with the precision of clock-work. The raiders came to headquarter, departed, and soon city jails in all parts of the county began to fill up. The raiders worked far into the night before their work was completed and by morning a panic of fear had spread to all quarters in the county where bottlerggers are known to hang out. Huntington Beach was one of the first places visited by the raiders. A half-dozen automobile loads of officers swept into the place and scattered to points designated in their warrants. When they departed twenty minutes later about America was fast becoming weakened, and continued immigration from those countries meant America's decadence. Ninety-two percent of those who composed the original 13 states were of British descent, and the greater part of the remainder from Germany, France, Holland, and the Scandinavian countries. Less than one per cent would now be ineligible to klan membership. America was founded by white Protestant, gentiles, and the klan means to keep it that way, he said. Fifty-three out of 56 signers of the declaration of independence were masons. He said that the klan professes that those who come to America in 1927 will be of the same stock as those who made America in the beginning, and that within a short time if you find someone in the U.S. who can't speak English you'll be able to ask him for his registration card. He said that the klan won't mean to deny anyone any right that he has ever enjoyed under the constitution of the U.S., and that it means to see that every man is given the right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, or not worship Him at all, if he chooses, but that it is no secret that it means for America to be ruled by Americans. a dozen men were locked up in the local jail. Among those arrested were: Harry Baker and a man known as "Gus" said to be proprietors of the Golden Lion Cafe and a taxi-cab driver named Teeter. Those at the jail were not booked, but were held at the request of the raiders. Others arrested were: C. E. Shultes, proprietor of a fruit stand at Santa Ana. Maria Tierres of Anaheim. M.

Altho Balboa, Laguna and Newport were also included in the plan, the towns were not reached last night because officers were kept even busier than they expected in other sections of the county, more centrally located to the case of operations. Huntington Beach and Santa Ana bore the brunt of the raid, more arrests being made in those two towns than anywhere else. Citizens on the streets were amazed to see a half dozen automobiles dash from one place to another, kick in front doors, arrest their man, only to rush to another place, before the neighborhood in the first section was aroused. Action was the byword, and it was featured in every instance.

Mr. Ibanex saw two of Miss Murray's Metro pictures in Paris more than a year ago. He was so impressed by Miss Murray's ability and vivacity, that he told a friend who was with him at the theater, that he would like to write a story for her. Several months ago this friend came to the United States and happened to mention somewhere what Ibanex had said. The word was passed along until it reached Miss Murray. Immediately she cabled the famous Spanish author with the result that he wrote a story dealing with the adventures of a modern siren whose power over men was as compelling as that of Circe of Greek mythology. "Circe the Enchantress" is a Metro-Gooldwyn picture presented by Robert Z. Leonard and produced by Tiffany Productions of which Mr. Leonard is director general and M. H. Hoffman is general manager. Included in the excellent cast appearing in support of Miss Murray are James Kirkwood, William Haines, Charles Gerard, Thomas Ricketts, Gene Cameron and Lillian Langdon.
