Bruce Brown of Los Angeles Will Speak at Tent To a throng which looked small in the big evangelistic tent at Claudina and Wilhelmina-sts, but would have filled any church in FIREMEN INJURED SAN DIEGO, Feb. 10. — Four firemen were injured, another man barely escaped with his life and damage considerably more than $100,000 was done by a fire which late yesterday gutted the Brunswig Drug Co., a check up here showed today. The fire is believed to have started in the basement in some denatured alcohol and swept up an elevator shaft to other parts of the building. The injured firemen are Capt. I. V. Johnson, Harry Hawkins, F. W. Hazlain and G. E. Courser. All received minor cuts about the hands. C. L. Wade, an employee of the drug company, was badly burned about the head and hands when he held himself suspended from a second story window while the flames raged above him before being rescued. WEALTHY MAN VIRTUALLY PRISONER Sweetheart of Man Who Died Mysteriously Discloses Letters HANFORD, Feb. 10 — Lee Camp, who met a mysterious death on the "ranch of regrets" was virtually a prisoner, according to letters he wrote to Miss U.S. BECOMES Tonite Rev. Bruce Brown of Los Angeles Will Speak at Tent To a throng which looked small in the big evangelistic tent at Claudina and Wilhelmina-ets, but would have filled any church in the city, Rev. Leon L. Myers, cyclops of the local Klanvern of the Klan, last night told in clear and detailed fashion what the Klan is and what it isn't. His topline was "The Constructive Program of the Klan." Tonight Rev. Bruce Brown, Christian Church pastor of Los Angeles, will speak on the Klan at the tent. Pastor Myers said: The Klan is not a political organization, but embraces men of all parties. The Klan is not a church organization, but supports any form of Protestant Christianity. The Klan is not anti anything, but has a constructive program. The Klan will support any good candidate or any good official who is enforcing the law. It opposes a good man only when it is apparent that he is backed by an undesirable organization. The Klan will not institute a recall, but it will interest itself in a readjustment where an official is guilty of malfeasance, etc. While it is necessarily a militant organization—Christ himself was militant—it has no program of hate to fulfill. These were only a few of the high lights thrown out by the speaker in his discourse, which lasted considerably over an hour. Discussing Klanism applied in Kalheim the pastor declared the countrys welfare was too precious to condone wrong for fear of disturbing a city by bringing wrongdoers to justice. The Klan is more interested in being "on God's said," said the pastor, than in being successful Christ himself was the Klansman's criterion of character. No tyranny can be overthrown by a single movement. Everlasting persistence in education is required to put the public mind in condition for accepting higher ideals. The Klan works toward promoting such a condition. The tyranny of the 16th century, overthrown by the Reformation, was so extreme that lives and property were in jeopardy and the tyrant could do with the schools as he chose. Luther's watchword was "The Truth Shall Prevail" and the truth finally did prevail. The Reformation had its political counterpart. The Magna Charta, Petition of Rights and All received minor cuts about the hands. C. L. Wade, an employee of the drug company, was badly burned about the head and hands when he held himself suspended from a second story window while the flames raged above him before being rescued. U.S. BECOMES CENTER OF COMMERCE WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Having already displaced Great Britain as the financial center of the world, the United States is low pushing the English for commercial supremacy. Comparative trade figures issued today by the department of commerce disclosed that American business men outstopped their British rivals in 1924 by sending their wares over the earth. Britain's total exports were $4,183,000,000, or $358,000,000 less than America's. Britain's imports of $5,653,000,000 surpassed those of this country by $2,000,000,000, her total foreign trade in 1924 having been $9,785,000,000 against $7,820,000,000 for the United States. Great Britain bought goods valued at $1,605,000,000 from the United States last year and sold to us commodities valued at $765,543,000. Because of a different basis of calculations of values, the department explained that a considerable sum must be added to American imports to make them comparable with those of Britain. It was also pointed out that if exports of imported good be deducted, the excess of American over British exports would be greater and the excess of British over American imports less. "Compared with 1293, the gold value of British imports in 1924 showed an increase of 51 per cent and that of exports 34 per cent," the department said. "The imports of the United States in the same period increased 101 per cent in value and exports 85 per cent." "The volume of British imports was practically the same in 1924 as in 1922, while exports declined about one-fifth. Sweetheart of Man Who Died Mysteriously Discloses Letters HANFORD. Feb. 10 — Lee Camp, who met a mysterious death on the "ranch of regrets" was virtually a prisoner, according to letters he wrote to Miss Theresa Lindauer, his sweetheart, who lived just across the road from him. One of them, written December 7, a week before he died, described efforts to see Miss Lindauer. It read: "Dear little Theresa: "It has been a long time since I have seen you and I do hope that you have not forgotten me. This year did not turn out as I har planned on and I hope that you do not feel hard toward me. I am simply honor and duty bound to stay and help Mr. Brown here a while. The only way that I can see you now is for you to go to Lemoore with me once a week. Theresa, I go to Lemoore every Thursday night for one hour to study violin. I leave home about 20 minutes of seven and back home at half past eight. If you care to go with me at Tejimotos Lane and when I come along it don't take long to start. Your father could walk out there with you about 8:30 I will be there to meet you. Theresa there are lots of things I want to tell you and ask you. I have rented the home place, all of it, and I want to tie them up in black and white for three years so it will give me a chance to make something So Theresa, I will watch for you next Thursday night. Goodbye." Another letter told her that he could not call her on the telephone as "some one was always listening in." Miss Lindauer said she never wrote Camp as he told her he did not receive his mail. District Atty. McKay announced this afternoon that attorney for Mrs. W. Stanton Brown, foster mother of Camp, had agreed to turn over evidence he has de manded in the shape of the windmill cog on which he is alleged to have fallen to his death. They also will turn over the cap he was wearing. McKay said the district attorney consider the windmill gear to be of prim importance, despite the fact that bloodstains and human hair salve have been on it have been washed off. Lee Gum, former Chinese enploye on the Brown ranch whet Camp died, told investigators that gear was smeared with blood ing persistence in education is required to put the public mind in condition for accepting higher ideals. The Klan works toward promoting such a condition. The tyranny of the 16th century, overthrown by the Reformation, was so extreme that lives and property were in jeopardy and the tyrant could do with the schools as he chose. Luther's watchword was "The Truth Shall Prevail" and the truth finally did prevail. The Reformation had its political counterpart. The Magna Charta, Petition of Rights and Bill of Rights in England and the American Constitution preceded by the Declaration of Independence were continuations of the same movement. France, also, and in fact most of the northern and western European world were affected by the Reformation. But in spite of the work of the Anglo-Saxon peoples France today is joining herself with the black and Russia with the yellow race. Nevertheless the two great white peoples—America and England—are destined to shape the future of the world. The Klan is not a church organization, but it is carrying forward the torch of American civilization, which is the product of the Protestant religion, Bible and Christianity. The American constitution stands for a more perfect union of states, insurance of domestic tranquility, provision for the common defense, promotion of the general welfare and securing of blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity. Similarly the Klan constitution seeks to promote unity of Protestant Christian organizations, to guarantee an effective form of government, to perpetuate such a form, that of America, by patriotic and fraternal achievements, to promote patriotism toward our government, to protect the home, school and all institutions which are the product of our glorious liberty and to promote liberty, justice and humanity. We are engaged in fighting and the Klan is a fighting machine, said the pastor, fighting for continuance of the government founded by our forefathers. Like the veterans of the Civil War the veterans of this "war" will form A camp after the "war" in over and the aims sought achieved. But in the might of the battle a captain doesn't take a vote upon the question of going over the top.

SUN WEAKENS PEKING, Feb. 10.—Dr. Sun Yat Sen is gradually growing weaker, according to a hospital bulletin this afternoon. His pulse was reported as 120 and his temperature as 22.4 centigrade. They also will turn over their cap he was wearing, McKay said. The district attorney considers the windmill gear to be of prime importance, despite the fact that bloodstains and human hair salts to have been on it have been washed off. Lee Gum, former Chinese employe on the Brown ranch when Camp died, told investigators that gear was smeared with blood and he was ordered to clean and wash up the brick pavement which had been spattered with blood. John H. Tipton, important witness who disappeared from San Francisco was being sought by this region today detectives believe that he returned here by consult friends. That in January Mrs. Brown had refused George McCamish of Colusa right to see his son Robert McCamish, who lives on the face of "regret" it was declared her today.

A similar bill has been passed by the senate but it does not provide for rates as high as those filed by the house. The senate bill was rejected by the house because the Senate had no right to initiate revenue legislation. The house bill will now have to be acted upon by the senate before the legislation goes to conference. Efforts are to be made by administration leaders to get final action on the postal bill before adjournment on March 4.

Stock, Miller, Mathis, Frazen and Grafton, Gentlemen: "We, the undersigned members of the Anaheim police department, offer you our services if it is your desire to continue the force intact. We believe that the people of Anaheim consider we have been efficient and have enforced the law without fear or favor, and would continue to do so if retained on the police force.

In the mounds searched thru thus far the two scientists have found skulls and fossils believed to be of a Mongolian type, leading Gladwin and Rogers to the theory that the region about Santa Barbara was the cradle of the human race on this continent.

Church and Body Politic Wage War MARY MILLER, France, Feb. 10. Catholicization in France culminated in the wounding of 100 Catholics and Communists when Communists attempted to disrupt a meeting being held by the Catholic League of Religious Defense. Police reports today showed the list of injured far greater than was indicated at the time of the rioting which occurred last night. Crowds of Socialists and Communists surrounded the theatre Des Nations, where the Catholic league was scheduled to hold its meeting at which General Casteljienna was to speak. The crowd began singing "Internationale," the Communist hymn. As Catholics would arrive at the theatre they were attacked. Three of the injured are priests. Rioting did not prevent the mass meeting and it was carried out according to program. Police charged the rioters with drawn sabres and injured three persons, one newspaper said. Several revolver shots were fired, but no one was wounded. The rioting occurred mostly in streets adjoining. Among the rioters were many Spanish and Italian subjects. Says He Talked Seven Times With Imprisoned Explorer CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 10.—The military court of inquiry, convened upon orders of Gov. Wm. J. Fields, sat in open session here today and heard at first hand stories of the early rescue efforts in behalf of Floyd Collins, who for 11 days has lain trapped in Sand Cave. Johnny Geralds, leader of the early rescue attempts, was in town, but not appear before the court. William B. Miller, boy reported of Louisville, who was one of the few who actually reached the point where Collins lies imprisoned, was the first witness. He was questioned by Captain Alex. L. Chaney of Bowling Green, "prosecutor" of the hearing, regarding his trips into the cave, the condition of the rocks in the passageway, the exact point at which Collins lies and his conversation with him. Captain Chaney cross examined Miller as to whether or not he had actually seen the foot which Collins asserted was pinioned under a seven-ton boulder. Miller admitted that the smallness of the "squeeze" which forms the prison chamber prevented this. "I could feel down as far as the calf of his right leg," Miller said, "but never could ream beyond that." Miller said that he had talked with Collins seven times and many times had vainly tried to drag from him an admission that there was another entrance to the passage or any admissions about the beautiful, vaunted chamber which Floyd is alleged to have said lay just beyond his body. Miller described a trip thru the passage, telling of jutting rocks hanging loosely from the roof, which appeared to him, he said, momentarily in danger of falling. It was one of the loose rocks, he said, which probably fell on Collins, pinioning him in the "squeeze." Collins, he said, was lying at a 45-degree angle, half on his left side, with his face almost pushed against the side of the rock lining the passageway. Water was dripping from the roof, he said, and an old cloth had been placed about Floyd's face to protect him. Once he removed it to look at the prisoner and Collins immediately asked him to replace it. Never in any of his seven trips into the cave, he said, had the position of Collins' body changed.

Scale parlors in Fullerton. Funeral arrangements are to be announced later. MARSEILLES, France—a hundred persons were injured in the anti-Catholic riots last night, official police figures today showed. ROME—Former Premier Giolitti, $2 years old, today signed another 25-year lease on his apartment here. J. A. Chitty for orange trees, 204 Bush; phone 671-M—Adv. Collins, he said, was lying at a 45-degree angle, half on his left side, with his face almost pushed against the side of the rock lining the passageway. Water was dripping from the roof, he said, and an old cloth had been placed about Floyd's face to protect him. Once he removed it to look at the prisoner and Collins immediately asked him to replace it. Never in any of his seven trips into the cave, he said, had the position of Collins' body changed.

Denhart personally questioned the witness closely on current rumors that Floyd was not caught in the cave, that his imprisonment is a hoax, that he could move freely if he chose and did so. Miller offered testimony in reply relative to the physical condition surrounding Collins which would make it impossible for this to be true. Lieut Robert Burdon's testimony brought the first shister note to the inquiry. He intimated that the fall of rock which had blocked the passage to where Floyd lies and which was responsible for abandoning the rescue efforts thru the passage at a time when there was every hope that the prisoner would be brought out momentarily, had not been natural. "I will not believe that any earth disturbance brought that rock to close the passage," he declared.

Floyd Collins lives. He went to sleep last night at 11 o'clock and awoke today at 10. This was the word from W. D. Lane, radio expert, after completion of the most exhaustive tests since radio communication into their receivers of the case began. The test began last night and continued for nearly 18 hours while radio lexperts lay in the alamy muck of the passageway (Continued on Page Two)
