treason, and you will never live to
expose the secrets Of the Ku Kiux

That was the threat conveyed to
me by a king kleagle, specially in

my determination to publish its
hidden secrets.
l shall not name this king
kleagle unless it becomes neces-
sary. He is a friend of mine, a
brother in another fraternal order,
and was performing what he con-
sidered a duty to the khan. He
was not aware of the real condi-
tions.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. H.
The cases Of the people versus
Fatty" Arbuckle, in which the
funmaker Of the films stands
charged, first with murder and
second with manslaughter in con-
nection with the death of Virginia
Rape, "best dressed woman in
the MOVIES" tonight had resolved
itself into protracted legal battle.
Arbuckle appeared in court with his
attorneys today when they asked
that hearing OF the manslaughter
charge be postponed until the mur.
der charge has been disposed Of. The
motion was granted and the next
hearing Oh the manslaughter charge
was set for September 26. Arbuckle
sat at a table with his counsel during
the brief moment he was in court. He
appeared cheerful and took little in
terest In the formal court proceedings.
Defense Likely to Talk.
The melodrama Of the early stages
or the scandal involving choice de.
tails OF the gay party two weeks ago.
have been told and retold. The silence
self,imposed by the defense shows
signs Of beginning to waver in hints
being thrown out as to possible plans
OF defense. On the other hand, the
State, as represented by District At.
torney Brady, has begun to close
down. No further testimony is to be
made public outside OF court.
From Los Angeles came the intima-
ton that Arbuckle's attorneys plan
to build up a defense on the theory
that the death Of Virginia Rappe was
purely accidental and that a man
other than Arbuckle was the cause.
The State had nothing to say on that
prospect.
Mrs. Mae Taube, a hitherto miss.
ing witness, who attended the fatal
party, today underwent three hours
and half Of questioning at the hands
Of District Attorney Brady and his
chief assistant, Isadore Golden.
When It was completed announce.
ment was made that her statement
was not to be made public.
Word came this afternoon that the
missing witness in the Arbuckle case,
whose testimony has been character.
lied as Indispensable by District At.
torney Brady, had been located. DR..
Arthur Beardslee, first physician to
attend Miss Rappe. after she became
i'll in Arbuckle's rooms in the st.
Francis Hotel, and who departed on a
hunting trip the day after attending
her. had left Nevada for Bridgeport,

DE Valera Reiterates Stand.


DUBLIN, Sept. 17.-Eamon de

Lloyd Georges note.
I'VE have already accepted the in.
vitation requested in your letter"
said the Irish communication. I'VE

Text Of Pemier's Note.
LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE text Of
Premier Lloyd Georges communica-
ton to the Irish parliament follows:
1T would be idle to say that a con.
ference in which we had met your
representatives as delegates from an
independent. sovereign state would be
a conference without prejudice. To
receive your delegates upon this
status would constitute official recog.
milton Of Irelands severance from the
II you saw fit to do so, to make a
treaty with the Kings government,
and 1t would equally entitle you to
make no treaty at all, but on the con-
trsry. to break off the conference.
AT the same time. 1t would
entitle you. IL you insisted upon an
other appeal to force, to claim from
foreign powers the rights Of lawful
belligerents against the king. II we
delt with you as a sovereign and inde-
pendent state. we should have no right
to complain of other powers following
our example.
Sticks to Principle.
These would be the consequences
Of receiving your delegates as the
representatives of an independent
state. We are prepared--as you
were informed in the note of Septem.
Der Ito discuss with you how the as.
sociation Of Ireland with the com.
munity Of nations known as the
British Empire can best be reconciled
with the national aspirations of the
Irish.
But We cannot consent to any
abandonment. however informal, of
the principle Of Irish allegiance to
the King. The whole fabric Of the
British Empire and every constitu.
ton within 1t are based upon this
principle"

 Tn the annual reports of this de- pertinent for recent years, and par ticularly in the annual report for 1920, the urgent need for speeding up the survey of Alaska was dis cussed in considerable length This condition of lack of adequate sur veys to meet the requr aments of commerce through Alaskan waters still exists, and since the develop ment of that vast territory Is stead fly increasing, the lack of surveys must. of necessity. become more critical each succeeding year. unless iOl tuutPihCAt, lsA tANtSo Ol anything that has been provided heretofore, are made available for greater surveying activities.

tion, but these vessels are either so large that they cannot be operated efficiently on surveying work, or are so old and worn out that the cost of putting them in operating condition would approximate the cost of building new vessels.
 "It has been found that a vessel of 1000 tons displacement is large enough for all requirements Of hy topographic surveying. Consequently, when it is realized that the cost of operating vessel increases rapidly with the size of the vessel, it will be seen that to utilize a vessel of several thousand tons displacement where a 1000 ton vessel is sufficient, Is bad business and would not be tolerated In any commercial enter prise.
 The bureau now has only II sur veying vessels between 100 and 1000 tons displacement and two under 100 tons, two of which belong to the Philippine government. Three only of these vessels can work in ex- posed localities and the others mus. be employed only where shelter can be had during stormy weather Seven of these vessels, large and small, are considered really efficient for the work on which they can be employed, and the others are only makeshifts. This is the equipment with which the bureau must keep uptodate surveys of the Atlantic. Gulf, and Pacific coasts of the United States and extend the hy typography out to the edge of the con tinental shelf; survey Alaska, Porto Rico, Virgin Islands, Hawaii and the Philippines, and make such special surveys as may be requested by oth- CT bureaus of the government
