STATES HAS BEEN Invited TO ATTEND IN HOPE Of SECURING RUSSIAN CREDIT
KHAN CHIEFTAIN SAYS OLCOTT
HAS SLANDERED ORGANIZATION
TO SERVE OWN POLITICAL END

PORTLAND, Or, Mayl5.--In reply
to the charges contained in the state
ment and proclamation of Governor
Olcott, F. l.. Clifford. exalted cyclops
of Luther /. Powell khan No. |, realm
of Oregon, has issued the following;
Replying the proclamation is
sued by Ben W. Olcott, governor OF
the state of Oregon, in which proc
lamation Governor Olcott has made
an open and untrue charge against the
Ku Klux Klan, who he claims are en-
deavoring to usurp the reins of gov
ernment and are stirring up fanatic :
ism, race hatred, religious prejudice
and all those evil influences which
tend toward factional strige ano civil
terror, have only to say that the Ku
Klux Klan is a law-abiding organiza :
ton, based on the maintenance of
white supremacy and the Christian
religion.
There never has been an outrage
of any kind committed in the state
or Oregon that could in any way he
chargeable to the Ku Klux Klan. but,
on the contrary, if the authorities of
the several counties and cities of this
state were to make public the aid
and assistance that they received
through our efforts in the matter of
law enforcement and clean govern
ment they would give the lie to the
statement of Governor Olcott.
''In fairness to everyone concerned
I am firmly convinced that the proc
lamation of Governor Olcott is merely
a matter of politics, he hoping to win
to his support the various people
whom the position to the Ku Klua
Klan have stated time after time that
the Klan was against. All these
statements are manifestly untrue. The
Ku KIux Klan has made no attempts
to injure in any way any of the or
ganizations who are supposedly fight
ring us at this time. Tho, religious
question has been gone into in thu
proclamation of the governor without
and proof of just reason for believing
that this is so.
Replying to the governors state
ment of masked men being permitted
to roam promiscueusly at large
| wish to state that the'e are no masked
men in the Ku Klux Kan permitted
| to roam at will. The terror of tn
masked and robed klansmen has beer
devised by the enemies of this organ
ization for the purpose of melting rae
and religious prejudice against the X
Klux Klan, as the only time tha
masks or robes are used promiscuous
ly or publicly in any way is at publ
parades or ceremonials; at no othe
time are masked or robed men to b
seen. Wesho not sanction the use Q
the robes, nor are the members allow
ed to have their robes except for thi
purpose. and in any case this is nc
done without first obtaining the con
sent of the authorities in the city /
which said parades or use of the robe
is being made.

Wheat - Trade was dull, and the
only feature TO ,he market was the
resistance to selling pressure on small
declines. Receipts at primary markets
were surprisingly large but 1t was sig
nificant that all cash markets had a
firm tone with contact grades in Chi
rago readily taken at May prices. The
decrease in the visible supply of g.
or. .o00 bushels was the first import
ant reduction in many weeks The
seaboard reported a good export busi-
ness being done. but gave no details.
II is daily becoming more evident that
foreigners will want all the wheat we
can supply, and the widely advertised
scarcity. which many were beginning

/ itv before the end of the season. as

cation destruction will likely simu-

the conclusion that future possibilities
are very much in favor of highcl
prices.

UMPIRE GAVE WALLA
WALLA GAME YESTERDAY
AT ROUNDUP PARK
Fighting and Betting Marred
Game Which Ended in Pro-
test by Local Manager.
BY MELVIN HALL

Umpire Pickett, picked victory
for the Walla Walla Bears yesterday
afternoon at Round-up park before a
record crowd. The score was 7 to 8.
The game was marred by fighting
both ON the field and in the stands.
The umpire, evidently knew nothing
about baseball as any grammer school
boy could have guessed at the plays
as well as did Pickett. An official pro-
test is being sent to the league presi-
dent today by Lou Pinson, manager OF
the Buckaroos.
There are two decisions Of the um-
pires which are being protested by
Pinson. The first one Is the decision
made at home plate when Captain
Peterson was called out and the sec
pnd was on second base when Bill
Cary was declared out. Peterson was
on the plate yet Pickett declared that
he didn't even touch It, while he call
ed Cary out for being hit by a batted
ball. The ball had been touched by
Pat Walsh, Walla Walla pitcher be-
fore ii touched Cary. In addition to
these two decisions several other acts
| OF the umpire are questioned. When
| he sent q Walla Walla man home foi
sending the ball over the fence, tht
| Bear player failed to touch homt
plate and besides was touched by ths
coacher on his way from third base.
Good Officials Needed
/, Betting on the game was evidently
the cause of much hard feeling an'
fighting mt the game. But In addition
to this the fact that Pendleton ha
only been given a square deal In tw'
OF the games this year. A week ag
when MCGEE of Dayton, umpired
there was no grabbing and In the firs
game against Dayton there was n
talk against the officials either b
Dayton or Pendleton. Why n It tha
the Blue Mt. baseball league canne
get good umpire.
Lon Pinson, local manager held OF
for two officials at the beginning {
the season but was over ruled by III
remaining members Of the leagu
Again why has not the official Per
dlcton umpire been used more IN IN
games OF the league. There has ner'
been any question az to his ability {
fairness In umpiring.
