ROOSEVELT ROAD

approximately S5,954,OO0 of

"As / understand the situa-

sional action might be very re-
mote indeed and to keep the $2,-
100000 intact pending Congress-

.BEARCATS TO PLAY
NORTH PACIFIC TEAM

Tomorrow afternoon the Bear
cat nine will meet the North Pa
cific college sluggers on Sweet
land field, the game to be called
at 800 O'Clock. The Portland
team have in Quisenberry an ex-
cellent pitcher and with this add
ed to the ability of the team at
large to handle the stick in an un-
derstanding manner makes them a
hard bunch with whom to cross
bats.
The Bearcats after the rest from
lastsYeek's heavy schedule are all
in fine condition and are deter
mined to make up for the defeat
handed them last Saturday by the
Lindfield college nine. Ashby's
arm is rid of its soreness caused
by his pitching in all three games
last week and in all probability
will be Boilers choice for the
mound. With warm weather the
game ought to develop into more
or less Of a pitchers battle.

CRISIS REACHED

OVER TANCA- AFRICA

Washington, May 17-(By Asso
ciated Press) The Chilean-Per-
uvian conference today was
brought suddenly face to face with
what many diplomatic observers
regarded as it's severest test.
The recognized crucial issue Of
the entire controversy, involving
the validity of the Ancon treaty
provision for a plebescite in Tao
na-Arica, came to the fore unex-
pectedly through the decision of
Chile to propose immediate dis
cussion of method by which that
provision could be fulfilled.
Peru's plenipotentiaries, mani
testify disappointed at the direction
thus given to the negotiations at
the very outset, reversed comment.

The purpose of the Washington
negotiations was defined in Presi-
dent Harding's invitation as to
discuss controversies arising out
"of the provisions of the treaty" :"

ATTITUDE OF
j. S. At HAGUE
MISCONSTRUED

Washington, May 17.-French
sources at Genoa, prior to issuance
of the economic conference of an
invitation to the United States to
nsrticipate in The Hague meeting
sent a "feeIer" to develop the
American attitude toward such
participation, it was learned to-
day.
The American reply, it was S~-
plained was sympathetic In char
after hut not an acceptance, al
though apparently construed at
Genoa as forecasting participation
bv the United States. This it was
eaid was the only explanation
that could be assigned In official
quarters here for the confusion In
Furopean capitals which has fol-
lowed American declination OF the
formal invitation.
The French proposal was of a
General nature and fixed no time
or nIace for the suggested eco
nor1ic commission TO meet. The
American reply crossed on the
cables the formal invitation to
The Hague meeting and the re-
sult it was said today, evidently
was that the American sympathe-
ITO attitude toward the original
French suggestion was eonstru-
ed in some quarters abroad as in
dicatiug acceptance Of the invita-

MASONS OFFICIALLY
REPUDIkTE KLAN
AND ITS ACTIVITIES

Official denial by the Masonic
bodies of Oregon of charges that
Masons are backing or toleGating
a movement which incites religi-
Gus bigotry and racial discrimina-
tion was made yesterday in a
forrnal communication to all
lodges in the state signed by
Frank s. Baillie of Portland,
grand master of the grand Ma
sonic lodge Of oregon.
While the Ku Klux Klan is not
mentioned in the communication
the reference is regarded as clear
iy meaning that organization.
The letter follows:
To All Grand Officers, to the
Masters and Wardens of all con-
stituent lodges and for the bene-
fit of whom it may concern:
ominous and forbidding rumors,
provoking dissension and strife,
falsely intimate that the Masonic
fraternity, as such, is officially
aligned in silent acquiescence and
approval OF movement melting
religious bigotry and racial dis
elimination.
These new aiignments in polit-
icaI matters fostering such sinis-
ter appeals to prejudice and dis
cord beget a menace to our Amer
lean institutions which every Ma
son should condemn and suppress.
Your grand master takes this
occasion to record his positive dis
approval of all such acts as unbe-
coming to and foreign to the spirit
Of the Masonic fraternity.
Believing that such unseemly
activity Is contrary to the ancient
charges your grand master places
before you his positive interdic-
tion Of such acts and I therefore
give you in charge TO govern your
self accordingly.
/Fraternally,
FRANK s. BAILLIE,
Attest: Grand Master.

Grand Secretary.
