Los Angele' !, Oct. 16.-The

The crew che passengers ar

aboard thf @ mas, after they had
been rescl s rom small boats by
the freighter West Faralon, trans.
ferred to the Thomas, destined for
port at San Francisco and then di-
verted to dock at Los Angeles, be-
cause representations were made
to the shipping board and to the
war department, controlling the
Thomas, that Los Angeles was
nearer home for most of the res
cued.
Viewed as a Lark.
my hair was a fright" said
one of the feminine passengers
rescued from the perils of the fire,
shipwreck and the deep when she
told of her experiences in getting
back to dry land. That was the
keynote of the comments; nobody
took the experience very seriously,
and while unconventional gar
ments were in evidence and many
comforts and conveniences were
early sought there was no DISPOSE
ton to complain, nor did any pas
senger display any evidence of
nervous strain.
The passengers chatted gaiIy
with friends on small boats and on
the dock, lining the rails and
showing visible eagerness to come
ashore, but no other apparent
emotion.
ut was a shipwreck de luxe" I"
said one passenger and compli-
ments for officers, crew and pas
sengers themselves flew thick and
fast in the interchanges at the
dock.
Docked at Midnight.
The Thomas reached harbor
after midnight, and took
a berth off the breakwater So
await the arrival of the health Of
ficers, who had previously an
that they would board
here about o'clock today. When
the Thomas dropped anchor the
rescued passengers and crew from
the City of Honolulu lined the
rails clad in garments varying
from uniforms of field officers
borrowed from army officers
the transport, to blankets
covering a few undergarments.
Most of the passengers and
crew were on deck when the
Thomas drew in, but when they
learned that they could not be
brought ashore until today, they
went to their berths.

Two resolutions dealing with
compulsory education have, in the
past, been presented to and ap
proved by the grand lodge, one
in the session of 1920 and one at
the 1921 meeting, but neither of
these dealt with compulsory at
tendance in public schools. Both
dealt with the courses of study to
be prescribed in all schools, pub
lie and private. The first indorsed
the Smith tTowner bill, placing
a representative Of education on
the presidents cabinet and the
other dealt with the teaching of
the German language in the
schools of Oregon.
The bill now presented to the
electors has never even been be-
fore the grand lodge of Oregon,
r. Brown declares.
The Compulsory School Bill has
been foisted upon the voters by
the Ku K1ux Klan. OF that there
is no doubt. 1t is true that in
dorsement of the bill by the Scot
tish Rite Masons of Oregon was
secured, and that 1t was under
the cloak of this order that the
initiative petitions were circu
lated and signed up, but the
means used to secure this indorse-
ment are another story.
Endorsement of the school bill
by the Scottish Rite Masons, was
accomplished at a special meet
ing of hand-picked members of
that order in Portland last spring.
called by p. S. Malcolm and Fred
L. Clifford, and attended only by
present at their invita-
ton. Malcolm, sovereign grand in
speetor of the Scottish Rite
Masons, southern jurisdiction, in
Oregon, has been closely identi-
fled with the khan movement in
Portland since its inception, if
be is not actually member, and
Clifford is Exalted Cyclops of the
Luther Powell khan Of Portland.
The majority of those present
when the compulsory school bill
was Endorsed were members of
that radical faction of the Ma
sonic order that fell in with the
Ku Klux movement from the fist.
The school bin, repudiated By
The voters of Oregon as the prin-
eipal plank in the platform Of
Hall, Ku Klux Kianii-
late for governor, was revived in
The guise of a, Scottish Rite meas
ire for only one purpose-per-
of the religious contro-
yersy to sugar the path for the
Ku Klux Klan organizers by in
.iting religious hatred and preju-
1ices.
Only where reason is sup
planted by hatred and calm delib-
,ration by prejudice can the
with their $21.50
graft, thrive.

 MT. Ex-Seryica Man, aged 25, f surance you can reinstate it now. You were paying $6.60 when it lapsed, which is 66 cents month for $1,000 of insurance protection and $575 a month income for lie in case of total permanent disability.

Chief of Engineers Takes Is sue with Secretary
 Weeks on Contract.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--Maj. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of en- gineers, takes issue with Secretary Weeks suggestion that the 1oO-year lease clause in the Ford contract should be reduced to 30. He said:
 'It is not always advisable to ap. ply one general rule It is a ques= tion in as big and important a mat ter as this whether the 50year rule would not work a hardship.
 This is not a thickly settled DOT ton of the country. Neither Ala ibama nor Tennessee are manufactur- ing sections, and the length of time 1t would take to find a market for power might be a very serious mat ter
 "The difference between army esti- mates for completing construction work on the dams and those prepar- ed by Ford's engineers" the general explained, was due to allowances made for unknown difficulties that might be encountered in bringing the projects to a completion.
 ''If unusually good luck prevails lie said. we might do the work within Mr. Ford's estimates"
 General Be<h said he believed Henry Ford would like 10 stand in the same relation 10 the farmers that John D. Rockefeller does to the world by the eradication of disease. He concluded
 "Mr. Ford had said. l understand, that he hopes to reach point where he can sell a tractor, truck and an automobile all for $l,000.'
