ACCUSES PEGGY
AS GUILTY PARTY

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 3--Clara
Phillips, alleged hammer slayer Of
Mrs. Alberta Meadows, took the
stand when her trial was resumed
today.
Mrs. Phillips testified she had
talked over her family troubles
with Mrs. Peggy Caffee, the states
star witness whom she yesterday
accused of completely in the slay-
ing, during the Tuesday afternoon
and night preceding the murder.
She added that it was from Mrs.
Julia McElroy and her son, Julian,
'neighbors Of hers, that she learned
where Alberta Meadows lived.
The witness stated that she had
no intention of going to Mrs. Mea-
dows apartment at that time, al
though she knew something was
wrong" Her husband had been
out all night, she said, and had
refused to speak to her.
Much of the morning session
was occupied by the prosecution
in taking Mrs. Phillips over her
testimony of yesterday, step by
step and in considerable detail.
Mrs. Phillips reiterated her tes-
timony given ON direct examina-
tien that 1t was Peggy Caffee who
bought the hammer.
The defendant denied that she
had requested the sales girl to
show her the heaviest hammer
she had" or that she had offered
any objection to the one finally
purchased because it was not
heavy enough"

Whole
Program Of Klap
Directed Toward
State
Domination Thru
Communities That Have Been

By Harry N. Grain.

Almost every community in Ore
son has felt the effects Of the Ku
Klux Klan movement to a greater
or lesser extent during the past
year but, aside from the specific
instances that have already been
cited at some length in this series
Of articles, most of them have es-
capped with nothing more than a
slight attack Of this destructive
civic malady.
Coos county, the home OF
Charles Hall, Ku Klux Klandidate
for the republican nomination for
governor, has had it's siege of the
klan, but has escaped any serious
cOnseQuences, principally through
the fact that Mr.. Halls support
there was along personal lines and
the Kluxers did not have the argu-
ment Of the necessity for organ
iEation to opposed a strong opposi-
tlon to him, their personal candi-
date. Further, the anti-Catholic
element in Coos county is widely
scattered and not to be seriously
reckoned with in any event. The
best indication, however, of the
Failure of the klansmen to effec-
|tually organize this section of the
state is the failure of the sub
sldlzed newspaper which they took
over IN Marshfield. Where most
~ tue Ku Klux papers throughout
|fhe country have enjoyed a rapid
groWtn during the heighth of the
flan movement in their commune
Ris, the Marshfield paper was a
poney loser from the first, was
quring the summer placed in the
Pands Of receiver and has since
peen ordered sold for the benefit of
kreditors by the court.
Bend is another of the critics
Which has felt the withering hand
n the khan on social, political and
Rlyic life. The Ku Klux lodge was
pstalled here by an organizer by
Ne name Of Star, who after
gleading his poison in city and

New York, Nov. 3.-There was
much speculation in New York to-
day over the reported announce
ment in London yesterday by
Major John Jacob Astor that he
was transferring his wealth from
America to England. The realty
and personal holding OF the late
Baron civilian Waldorf) Astor
in the United States totalled more
than $80.000,000, according to
referees report filed last March
in superior court.
OF this last fortune, in which
Major Astor participated with
Viscount Astor, his elder brother,
100000 is represented in
realty. The property was con-
veyed to the two sons in trust in
1919, and the income from that
source is placed at $5,291,260 In
addition, Major Astor was given
outright by his father Manhattan
realty valued at more than ST.
900, 900.
Several pieces Of New York
property have been sold by Major
Astor in the last few years, but 1t
Is considered unlikely he will dis
pose Of all estate in this country,
but rather will transfer his in
come or personal property to
England.
Major Astor, in conjunction
with John A. Walter, recently
purchased Lord Northcliffe Is
London Times at a price stated as
$6,075,000.

TWO BANDITS
PAY PENAL TY
FOR CRIMES
Postal Inspectors Lay In
Wait for Robbers Who
Cut Off Mail and Ex-
press Cars.

Wittenberg, Mo-, Nov. 3.-(By
Associated Press. Jack Ken
nedy, veteran Missouri train rob-
Der and Harvey Logan, former
railroad man, were shot and killed
early today by officers after they
had robbed a mail car on south
bound Frisco passenger train. The
stolen mail, about 100 registered
letters, was recovered.
Postoffice inspectors learned
yesterday that Kennedy and
Logan had gone from Cape Cir
ardeau to seventy-six, 1t was
stated, and they kept a watch on
the automobile in which the
bandit were travelling.
The inspectors said they had no
way Of estimating the amount Of
money in the letters which the
robbers took, and declared the
reports that the amount ran as
high as 100000 to be unfounded
rumors. Kennedy was So years
old and Logan 23.
Officers In Waiting
Six postoffice inspectors, three
Frisco railroad special agents and
two deputy sheriffs Of Scott coun-
ty were waiting near the scene Of
the robbery, which had been an
ticipated through previous watch
Ing OF Kennedy's g movements.
Kennedy and his companion
were making for their automobile
with the stolen mail when ordered
by the officers to halt. The
bandits reached for their weap-
ons, according to the inspectors,
and the latter opened fire.
Inspector Bob Ward of st.
Louis, who was In charge OF the
officers, said the bodies OF the two
robbers were found with revolvers
in their hands. A coroner's Jury
held an inquest and returned a
verdict OF justifiable homicide.
Describing the robbery, inspec-
tors said that Kennedy and his
pal stopped the train, No. sos,
running from st. Louis to Mem
phis, at Seventy Six, a station
seven and one-half miles north OF
here. Kennedy's companion cut
the mail and express car from the
remainder of the train. The
engineer and fireman were taken
off the locomotive and Kennedy,
