Berger The Why of the Kh Klux Klan, or some of the things that the klan stands for, was discussed last night at the mass meeting at the Fairyland Theater by Rev. L. E. Berger of Pasadena, national klan lecturer, to an audience which jammed both the lower floor and Mrs. Harding Has Vision of Beyond COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 21. Just before she died, Mrs. Florence K. Harding, widow of former President Harding, seemed to arouse from a state of coma and see a vision of what lies beyond, according to a telegram received here today, by Mrs. John G. Battelle, for many years a friend of the Hardings. "Oh, see—see—see!" were Mrs. Harding's last words, the telegram said. ILLICIT LOVE QUESTIONS WRITTEN STOCK BOOK CONTINUED UNABATE U. S. Steel, Lease Industrials, HigiPrice Since 19 NEW YORK, Nov. 21. In railroad stocks continenous volume on the N stock exchange today. The no evidence of any decline ish enthusiasm in the earing tho a number of railindustrial stocks which h Fairyland Theater Filled To Capacity to Hear Rev. L. E. Berger The Why of the Ku Klux Klan or some of the things that the klan stands for, was discussed last night at the mass meeting at the Fairyland Theater by Rev. L. E. Berger of Pasadena, national klan lecturer, to an audience which jammed both the lower floor and the balcony and stood in the aisles. The speaker was introduced by Rev. Earl J. Sechrist, pastor of the Congregational Church of Bren, and secretary of the local klan kavern. The speaker started off by giving humorous pokes both at the Plain Dealer and the Bulletin, saying that if the Plain Dealer was correct in the news of the day then the Bulletin needed a new reporter. He also gave a poke at Anaheim's prospective new chief of police, being put forward by what he termed the Usual Sinners' Ass'n and sarcastically deplored the fact that they would be unable to get their bootleg liquor for the holidays, but nevertheless was glad that the citizens of Orange-co. had united to make Orange-co. dry. He said that the klan is being cursed in Orange-co. tonight as never before. He told of an experience in Washington state where he, as a representative of the klan, had said by the grace of God that bootleggers would be caught. The sheriff said, "Those men mean business." So the sheriff went out and caught what he termed the king of bootleggers. Again he told the people as representing the klan that that was not the king of bootleggers, that they would be surprised when the lid came off. Certain federal officers came in to investigate and a short time afterwards the sheriff, the chief of police, and the chief of detectives were arrested for bootlegging. "Of course," he said with a poke of humor, "the klan had nothing to do with it. The federal officials did it. They had read the Bulletin's story that the klan had nothing to do with the Orange-co. raid, that the federal officers did it, caught the speaker's significance, and set the house into a chuckle. He said that he had read the U.S.A. Club's placard, and that there was nothing on it that he, as a klansman, could not heartily subscribe to, but that when he read the newspapers about the arrest of the club's candidate for chief of police he changed his mind about joining. "But they are not all scoundrels in that club," he told his audience. "There are some good men among them, men who are well-versed." ILLICIT LOVE QUESTIONS WRITTEN LONDON, Nov. 21.—Courtroom prying into the illicit love of a blackmailed Indian prince for Mrs. Maude Robinson reached such a stage today in the trial of her husband's suit for the recovery of $625,000 of the $750,000 blackmail payment that the questions were written on paper to spare Mrs. Robinson's feelings. "I am sorry to have to ask such distressing questions," said Sir John Simon, of the counsel for the defendant Midland Bank, wherein Charles Ernest Robinson, the rook-maker-husband, charges the prince's money was put for him after Mrs. Robinson had revealed her relations with "Mr. A", as the prince is called, "for reasons of state." Sir John obtained from Mrs. Robinson an admission that the charm of the dusky stripling prince, who was 24 when the beautiful Mrs. Robinson was 31, was so irresistible that their misconduct occurred three weeks after she met him at the Victory ball in London in 1919. "And I suppose," said Sir John, "that before surrendering yourself to Mr. A he made it plain that he desired you very much." "He did," the witness answered. Mrs. Robinson then withstood tormenting cross-examination by Sir John, who is one of England's most brilliant advocates. He attempted to show that she was in financial difficulties when the incidents in Paris that culminated in the discovery of Mrs. Robinson and the potentate together by Montague Noel Newton, alleged black-mail leader, occurred. That she was in need of money she steadfastly denied. Then the scene in the densely packed courtroom, already dramatic enough, became more tense when Sir John flatly charged that with the princely fledgling safely caged in her bedroom, Mrs. Robinson unlocked the door so Newton might storm in and make his dramatic inquiry. Angrily heated, Mrs. Robinson contradicted him. U.S. Steel, Lead Industrials, High Price Since 1919 NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—In railroad stocks continue enormous volume on the New stock exchange today.

"But they are not all scoundrels in that club," he told his audience. "There are some good men among them, men who are well-intentioned and law-abiding and now, that these things have been uncovered, I expect to see an exodus out of there." He told the people that the klan in Anaheim is not a lawless bunch but that it is composed of the best citizens of the community. He quoted regim The Outlook that the rank and file of the Ku Klux Klan comprise the backbone of the American nation, have within their ranks the leading physician, the leading manufacturer, and one of the leading bankers of the nation. It also has more than 50,000 Protestant preachers, 99 per cent of which are of the fighting type, he said. The preachers who join the klan, he said, are not the kind who on Sunday pray "Thy kingdom come," and then turn the country over to the devil and the crooked politicians. The klan also, before Nov. 4, had within its ranks two-thirds of the governors of the United States and more than 47 congressmen. It added at least one more in the last election, he said humorously when Oklahoma decided to keep Jack at home and send someone else to Washington. In fact, the klan candidates won everywhere except Texas, and the klan won a tremendous victory there, he said. When a Republican in a Democratic state like Texas can poll the vote that the Dean pulled, it gives hope that with a little more education Texans will vote for the right regardless of party lines, and that in two years from now a real American will be placed in (Continued on Page Two) Don't forget Pythian Hazeas tomorrow.

There was no evidence of any decline in bullish enthusiasm in the early trading; a number of railroad and industrial stocks which have been moving forward briskly declined a point o r two as traders took their profits. The forward price movement in New Haven and St. Paul stocks, among the rails, the advance in St. Steel, the recognized leader in the industrial stocks, to the highest price since 1917 and the strength and activity of a small number of the motor stocks, were the features of today's session. St. Paul and New Haven have been held back in their market movements by the heavy maturities in outstanding bonds coming next year. New Haven must pay or refund $23,000,000 of seven cents on April 1, and St. Paul $48,000,000 of four per cents on June 1. It is understood that New Haven will refund its seven per cents with a new issue of 15 year 6 per cents and the sharp advance of four points in these bonds today is evidence a plenty that the proposal meets with the approval of the financial district. St. Paul will, in the opinion of financial observers here, find equal sympathy and co-operation in any refinancing plan the directors may suggest. Missouri Pacific, Wabash, Katy and a few other railroad shares were brought to market in good volume by those who had profits to collect. The resultant selling caused declines of a point or two on leading stocks, but as in former sessions, the selling was well absorbed. U. S. Steel continued to attract the attention of investors in every part of the country and buy orders surged into the market on response to the flood of favorable reports concerning its operations, earnings and prospects. At 117% the stock was at a new high price since 1917 when it sold at 133%. Not much interest was displayed in the oil stocks nor in the host of low priced industrials which have been advancing sharply in recent sessions. Money and industrial conditions were generally favorable to the strong market for speculative stocks. Reactionary movements characterized a number of the active industrial stocks in the late trading. Mack Trucks sold down to 109% against the weeks high at 114 on reports that no special distribution to stockholders would be made this year. American Woolen LABOR SHUNS POLITICAL PARTIES EL PASO, Nov. 21.—American organized labor must remain free from all political parties, whether Republican, Democratic or Independent, the executive council of the American Federation of Labor declared in a unanimous report to the organization's annual convention here today. The council urged that the Federation maintain its traditional non-partisan political policy and warned against uniting with any new political movement particularly a distinct labor party, saying that the needs of American wage earners best could be served by working within already established parties. At the same time the council lauded its action in supporting the independent presidential candidacy of Robt. M. La Follette with the declaration that the election was a signal success in the furtherance of the interests of the wage earners and of the people of the country generally. The council further recommended that strentuous efforts should be made in the future to broaden and increase the scope of the Federation's non-partisan policy thru the election of candidates, irrespective of party affiliations, who subscribe to labor legislative program. The report was referred to committee. Federation leaders anticipate no trouble in securing its adoption by the convention. "In the pursuit of an honorable cause to protect and promote the rights and interests of the great masses of our people wage earners included we have been less concerned with participation than the achievements of practical results," the report said. "We are partisan to principles—not to a political party. The American labor movement if it is to be true to its mission to defend advocate promote and protect the rights interests and welfare of America's wage earners and American people must be as free from political party 14 County Jail Prisoners Taken in Raids Are Released on Bail Decision to try 12 of 34 prisoners in the county jail, taken during the sweeping liquor raids of Wednesday night, in the federal court at Los Angeles; release of 14 on bail; action started in the superior court at Santa Ana to test the legality of one prisoner's arrest and his consequent temporary release on a writ of habeas corpus—these were the outstanding developments otday in the mammoth dry crusade. Lester Nelson, 25-year-old Santa Ana meter reader, was released under $250 bail by Superior Judge F. C. Drum, after Otto Jacobs, counsel for Nelson, started habeas corpus proceedings. Hearing on a permanent order was set for Monday at 11 a.m. The writ alleges Nelson's arrest was illegal, the action claiming City Recorder W. H. Heathman of Santa Ana was without jurisdiction when he signed a warrant in Fullerton. No complaint was on file at the time, the suit alleges. In most cases those that obtained their freedom late yesterday and today posted $2000 bail with U.S. Commissioner Maurice Enderle at Santa Ana. Bert Stark of Santa Ana posted $100 bail with Recorder Heathman, while Edward Arnold of Huntington Beach was freed on his own recognizance. No prisoners have yet been brot into the justice court at Santa Ana though it was thought these would be given opportunity for freedom later today. Four prisoners, arrested yesterday, were brought to the county jail. These were Pete Pappas, Santa Ana pool hall owner; Orris Dawson, 18, Santa Ana hotel bus boy; Halvry Crane, 27, Costa Mea painted who was alleged to have been taken with an auto load of liquor, and Walter Eastlack of Balboa, owners of two drug stores and recently mentioned as candidate for city treasurer of Newport Beach.

Others slated to go into federal court from the county jail include: Mrs. R. Tirres of Anaheim; E. J. Dietrich, R. R. Hupp and C. E. Guard, Santa Ana pharmacists; George Edgar, Santa Ana grocer; Charles Donigan, Gus Barkas and Eddie Richards of Huntington Beach.

Mack Trucks sold down to 109% against the weeks high at 114 on reports that no special distribution to stockholders would be made this year. American Woolen declined 2½% to 58% on heavy trading in which short selling played a part. American Can made little headway. Castiron Pipe and Radio lost about three points. Oils had to attract any larger following and sales in this department were generally at concessions in prices.

BAND OF ROBBERS ESCAPE WITH $1700 SEATTLE, Wn., Nov. 21.—King-co. deputies and a posse of loggers were searching the forest near Snoqualmie, east of here, today for a band of 12 to 15 robbers who late last night held up the offices of the Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Co., and escaped with $700 from the company safe. Employees of the logging company in the company office and radio room when the robbers burst in, their riffles evering the lumbermen. CLAIM EXTORTION PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 21.—A man who preyed upon the sorrow of anguished parents to extort money from them thru promises of sending back their lost relatives, is J. F. Williams, according to federal authorities, who is behind prison bars here today. Williams, known by half a dozen aliases, operated all over the country in his game of capitalizing on the heartbeats of parents who advertised in magazines for word of a long lost son or daughter. "In the pursuit of an honorable cause to protect and promote the rights and interests of the great masses of our people wage earners included we have been less concerned with participation than the achievements of practical results" the report said. "We are partisan to principles—not to a political party. The American labor movement if it is to be true to its mission to defend advocate promote and protect the rights interests and welfare of America's wage earners and American people must be as free from political party domination now as at any time in the past. The extension of our non-partisan political procedure will not only attract to ourselves but the sympathetic support of all progressively minded groups and influences but will enable the wage earners of our land to direct the political tendencies and activities of our nation, our states and municipalities, without the necessity of concerning ourselves with the coming or going of re-alignment of any political party or group. "The non-partisan political influence maintained in the popular branch of the government answers the people that whatever reactionary proposals may at any time eminate from the executive branch of the government, shall not find a ready response and confirmation in the legislative branch of the government. Thereby the interests of the people in general and of labor in particular are largely safeguarded and the opportunity is provided for the realization of many of the hopes and aspirations for progressive legislation for the masses of the people." In line with this stand, the council, however, recommended enactment of legislation "so that independent political movements may function effectively whenever need for the same may arise. "The campaign has demonstrated that under the laws in our several states, the standing of political groups or political parties is so narrowly circumscribed as to make impossible a free expression of the political intentions of those not in accord with the existing major political parties," the report pointed out.

"The release of money since the election, here and everywhere else, has been the feature of returning business confidence. It stands to reason that conditions now are bound to improve. "Before the election the finance companies warned us what they would do unless the election went right. Money would have been tight and we wouldn't have been able to do business, if Coolidge hadn't been elected. "Our financial condition here has been strengthened. "I believe that the next three or four years will witness greater prosperity than 1922 or 1923. It is no idle jest that property values are more real now than two years ago, because then values were jumped too quickly. "Loans on property can now be renewed on much the same terms as in 1922 or 1923. The values of citrus ranches have gone up because of better prices for fruit and confidence in the new crop."

Messages of Condolence Pour Into Relatives From Many Sources MARION, O., Nov. 21—Mrs. Florence Kling Harding, widow of the late President Harding, died at 8:55 o'clock this morning at the home of Mrs. Chas. E. Sawyer, White Oaks farm. Funeral services will be conducted Monday at Epworth M. E. Church. Mrs. Harding had been a member of that church since girlhood.

Telegrams to President Coolidge and all other member of the president's cabinet were dispatched by Geo. B. Christian, Jr., secretary to President Harding. Dr. Carl W. Sawyer signed the death certificate as follows: "Cause of death, chronic nephritis, contributor chronic myocarditis and hydro nephrosis." In spite of the fact her death had been imminent for days, Marion, the city of her birth, which the late president and his wife brought into history, was shocked into numb grief and quiet, respectful bereavement. Mrs. Harding had grown slowly worse almost from hour to hour for the last week. Practically the last evidence of consciousness was the whispered expression of her appreciation for the telegram of hope of good wishes from President and Mrs. Coolidge, which was read to her yesterday morning.She had been in a semi-comatose state during most of Wednesday afternoon and night—and with a half smile, after signifying that she understood the White House message, Mrs. Harding lapsed into a condition of almost complete coma. Dr. Carl W. Sawyer, her physician, in making the announcement, said that chronic nephritis and miocarditis with evidence of hydro nephritis were the causes of death. Even before the public was given an intimation that Mrs. Harding's condition was disturbing her friends, Dr. Sawyer suggested to Mrs. Frank J. Longshore of Marion, Mrs. Harding's niece that serious developments might be expected and as a result of this warning, Mr. and Mrs. Longshore decided to abandon their plans for a trip to the west coast Christian; Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.Longshoreand Mrs.LongshoreandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.LongshireandMs.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.Longshire和Ms.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHOREANDMS.MsLONGSHORE AND MS.LONGSHOR liquor. They entered pleas of guilty, and were fined 150 each. Cases before Judge French yet to be disposed of were: P. Padilla of Fullerton, and Juan Escarsega and Ernest Osuna of Placentia. Five prisoners were brot before Judge Charles Kuchel at Anaheim this afternoon: Mrs. L. Tirres, Cruz Tirres, O. M. Jenkins, Theodore Wirt and George Karam. Mrs. Tirres had three charges of possession against her, Cruz Tirres one charge, O. M. Jenkins three charges, George Karam two charges, and Theodore Wirt two charges. Each prisoner pleaded not guilty on each charge, and except in the case of Mrs. Tirres demanded a jury trial. Judge Kuchel fixed the cash bail on each charge at $300 in each case, and fixed the date of the trials on Tuesday, ranging from Dec. 2 to Feb. 2. Each prisoner was remanded to jail in default of bond. The proprietor of the Silver Moon cafe, however, agreed to put up the money for Kram's release. Mrs. Tierres two daughters and her little granddaughter were present at the arraignment, and the little granddaughter sat on her grandmother's lap while the charges were read to her. Both the daughters wept most bitterly following their brother's arraignment. The trials of the prisoners were necessarily slow, since in some cases the same witnesses were forced to be present in so many different courts throughout the county. It was reported here today that Al Pape, Anaheim night watchman who claimed to be the U.S.A. club's candidate for chief of police in event the recall of four dry councilmen proved successful, had been released on $10,000 ball awaiting hearing on the federal charge following arrest and seizure of his car. STRUCK WITH AXE LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21.—Struck over the head with an axe in a mysterious affray at the home of a friend, Jesus Armenta 35, was probably fatally wounded according to police. Armenta's friend, Sebastian Torres, who said he thought Armenta was an intruder and struck him, was jailed. GOES TO ALTAR RATHER THAN PEN Marriage saved Phillip Arbiso of Santa Ana the possible disgrace of a penitentiary sentence. He was taken into custody on a charge of a serious nature that involved a prominent 16-year-old Santa Ana Spanish girl. When the case comes into the superior court the district attorney's office will move for its dismissal. RAISE CAPITAL OF PRODUCTS CO. Amended articles of incorporation of the Orange County Citrus Products Co., Anaheim, showing the capital stock has been increased from $200,000 to $250,000; were on file today at the county clerk's office at Santa Ana. The new capitalization consists of $250 shares of stock, valued at $100 each. LAYING OUT RAIL FENCES WITH CAR Accused of driving his car from one side of West Fifth-at., Santa Ana, to the other while he was under the influence of intoxicants, William T. Davidson of that city was being held in the county jail today, unable to post $1000 bail. Police officers of that city placed him under arrest. His hearing was set for December 15. GARBUTT TO JURY LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21.—Arguments having been completed, the fate of Harry Garbutt, charged with the murder of Mrs. Dorothy Lee Hunn, wealthy Pasadena welfare worker, was to be placed in the hands of the jury today. Even before the public was given an intimation that Mrs. Harding's condition was disturbing her friends, Dr. Sawyer suggested to Mrs. Frank J. Longshore of Marion, Mrs. Harding's niece, that serious developments might be expected and as a result of this warning, Mr. and Mrs. Longshore decided to abandon their plans for a trip to the west coast Christian, Mrs. Longshore and Mrs. Rosecoe Mezger, her daughter-in-law and Clifford B. Kling, her brother, was called back from Florida early in the illness and Dr. Geo. T. Harding the late president's father and Miss Abigail Harding, the late president's sister have been with Mrs. Harding almost constantly. Mrs. Harding's last public appearance in Marion except for her almost daily visits to the tomb of the late president was on October 16, when she attended the concert of the United States marine band at Garfield Park where the notification ceremonies were held. On the occasion of the visit of the musicians to Marion advance arrangements were made by the Kiwanis Club for a funeral dirge at the Harding tomb. This was played early in the afternoon and Mrs. Harding also attended the afternoon concert. The first news that Mrs. Harding's condition might be alarming was given out by Dr. Sawyer when he announced on Oct. 30 that she was compelled to deny herself to all visitors. It was then learned that she had been confined to her bed for several days and that her condition even at that time was most discouraging to those who were intimately acquainted with her. Since the death of Pres. Harding at San Prisco co on Aug. 2 last year, Mrs. Harding had never been regarded as quite recovered from the shock and the terrible strain of crossing the continent on the funeral train with the endless brief ridden formalities that followed. While she preferred to be in Marion with her home friends and relatives, she was laid wounded here by sympathy and depressing memories. She left Mar- (Continued on Page Two)
