At The GRAND Tonight

In the Clutches of The Klu-Klux- Klan, Is a Warner feature in three parts. It will be remembered that the K-K-K's, originally was a splendid or. ganization formed for the protection of the southern states in the troubled years following the war. It was in this period of the organization that they are pictured in The Birth of a Nation. These crusaders of the South are seen mounted on superb horses dashing furiously through field and forest in protection of the South. This picture takes up this organization after they degenerated into a band of outlaws, but still wearing the mys- terious garb of the order. The featur. ing characters in this play are well know screen stars. Gene Gauntier as Betty North Jack Clark takes the part of James Tolliver, leader of The Klu-Klux- Klans.
 The added attraction with this flea ture is a Strand War Series, and a comedy.

WHAT WILL THEY
 DO WITH HIM NOW
CHARGE OF INTENDED
 DISSIPATION AND MURDER MADE

PORTLAND, Sept. 29-Senator Chamberlain has notified the father of Louis Husser, the Dallas boy who has been held prisoner of war at Kingston, Ontario, for nearly year, that the Canadian government has fin ally refused the request of the state department for the release of the man. In refusing the last demand of Secre- tary of State Lansing, General w. H.. Otter, commanding operations in Can ada, said:
 : 'sIn the present instance is case where a man of German birth ans name has enlisted in our forces un- der false name, avowing that his reason for so doing was to get to Germany; that his first bullets would be for his own officers and whose uncle in Germany had advised his re- turn to that country, as his name had been posted in the official papers for not reporting. Surely there is every Justification for his detention, and I am therefore reluctantly oblig- ed to refuse your request for his dis charge.

SEATTLE, Sept. 30-Following q meeting of the fishing vessel owners at which a resolution was adopted whereby protest was ordered drawn and copy sent to each head of the divers transportation companies set ting forth their reason, letter was made public which may have some effect in changing the rates from Alaska to Seattle.
 The letter is in the form of pro test against the high rates for fresh fish during the winter months.
 The fishermen say that they would prefer to land all their catches at Ketchikan, or other places, box the fish and ship south, and that they are prevented from doing so by the high rates that compel them to go to Prince Rupert. They ask that the same rate applicable to salt fish be carried on fresh fish as well.

LEASING ALASKA
 GOAL LANDS
Secretary Lane Believes Lease Answers Purpose
LAW VERY STRINGENT
BELIEVE MONOPOLY IMPOSSIBLE
 UNDER THE RULES

WASHINGTON, Sept. Secretary Lane is about to promulgate rules and regulations under which the coal lease law iii operation in Alaska will be governed.
 The Alaska coal land act not only provides for the leasing of coal lands in the territory, but also for the re servation of certain areas ill the known coal fields, to be mined by the government i'll the event of an in sufficient supply of coal at a reason able price for the requirements of government works, construction and operation of government railroads, for the navy, for the national protection, or for relief from monoply or oppres- sive conditions. ''
 Believes Lease Practical
 Secretary Lane believes that the dc pertinent has perfected practicable form of lease. He scouts the view of many Alaskans and others who know of conditions in the territory that the leasing law is not workable, because of the peculiar conditions that exist in the north country.
 The lease that is now in preparation was first drafted by representatives of the department, including those in the bureau of mines, and those who have worked in Alaska.
 The law itself is very stringent in its antimonopoly features, and those who framed it tried to make a law that would be workable and that would induce the investment of capital in this vast resource. It provides that the coal bearing land shall be divided into leasing tracts of forty acres each or nlultiples thereof, and in such form as will permit the economical mining of the coal in such blocks. In no case however, is any leasing block to ex- ceed 2,560 acres. Leases are to be of fered to individuals or associations by advertisement, by competitive bidding or by any other means that may be provided by regulations to be made by the secretary of the interior.
 Limit of One Lease
 Railroads will be permitted to lease such areas of coal land as will pro vide fuel for their own use Those interested in one lease are forbidden to have an interest in any other lease. This applies to stockholders in corpor- ations that may be forced to lease the coal lands.
 The leasing law provides that the lessees shall pay the United States a royalty of not less than 2 cents per ton for the coal mined. In addition they will be required to pay 25 cents per acre for the first year of the lease, 50 cents for the second, third, fourth and fifth years, and $1 for each year thereafter during the continuance of
The daily progressive-miner., 1915-09-30

 the tease. Leases may be made for 50 years and are subject to renewal on "such terms and conditions as may be authorized by law at the time of such renewal" !"
 The law also authorizes the secretary to issue permits to residents of Alaska to mine coal for local and domestic needs. These permits are limited to ten acre tracts. That part of the law is already in operation and Q number of local leases have been approved by the interior department. Reports re- ceived here are that this portion of the law is working out satisfactorily. Sec retary Lane believes the other and larger portion of the law will bring as good results.
