MOOSE SMOKER
 ENLVENED BY BOXING BOUTS

The local lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose, on Monday, March 26, had installation of officers, fola lowed by a smoker at the Ocean View Hotel, which was the most successful smoker staged here fos some years. The retiring dictator, Ernest Blue, made a very eloquent speech on the principles of the order. P. 8. Jack, his succession in office, also spoke. expressing the hope that he would be able to keep up the good work done by his pre- decessor and maintain the high standard of excellence set for him.
 In addition to the usual songs and jokes attendant at such gothA eyings, three exhibition sparrjng matches were staged, with Wm, Bunting officiating as referee. The first match, between Arthur Bayn- ton, affectionally known as Gid Man Baynton" and Bobby Kerr. caused lots of hilarity. The floor being rather slippery, neither con- testant was able to keep his feet though both showed that they knew their business. The second match, between Nels GundeFson and Harold Blahton, was very good both contestants showing plenty of class and keeping the spectators on their tip-toes with excitement. Blanton appeared to have shade the best of the argument, although the referees decision Of a draw was cheerfully accepted by the crowd. The last match, between Sam McNeill, runaer-up in the Canadian expeditionary forces championship, and V.R. Nicholson, Nick the Barber" was a show in itself. Both showed no mean knowledge of the the game, but Nick left the impression that he would clown at his own funeral,
 Messrs. Ridley and Cameron, the jazzist and the artiste, both officiated at the piano and gave excellent renderings in their re- spective lines.

UNIT SYNDICATE
 FOR DEVELOPING
 THE WASHINGTON

Adopting the successful plan introduced here by the Fitzgerald Bros. to finance preliminary de- velopment on the Titan, the Washington Mining Syndicate of Alaska has been formed by R. E. Lundvall and associates for the purpose of continuing develop. tiient on the Washington group, which is considered one of the most promising properties in the Marmot river section. The or- kanization holds l5,OOO units at $lO each and enough will be sold to carry out development pro. gram already planned. R. E. Lundvall, assayer, practical min ing man and locator of the claims, Is chairman of trustees, his asso- tiates on the board being Donald Donald, captain of the Prince Rupert, Norman Mclean. purser, and Malcolm ]. Woods, of Bris- tol, Penna.
 The group consists of seven claims, $50 acres, situated on the south fork of Marmot river, six miles from tidewatet and at an elevation of $500 feet. Eigh, parallel veins have been located bn the property, all of which may be crosscut with 500 feet of tun- hel. MT. Lundvall has already driven ll5 feet and at the face indications point to the first vein being very close. The topogra. phy of the location is ideal fol economical mining, a foot in depth being gained for every foot the tunnel is advanced, and an easy grade to the beach afording cheap transportation, once a road IS com pIeted. The first work to be un' dertaken this season will be the construction of permanent camE a d providing transportation facil' ities.
 On the surface the veins have been highly eroded and oxidized but nevertheless good values are obtained in various places where open cuts were run, the ore in one of these cuts carrying over 200 ounces in silver. Mining men an ticipate great activity in the Mar mot section this summer, a suh cien; amount of work having beer done in the past on number o pro .,erties to prove large quanti ties of marketable ore. The sec ;ion has been neglected somewha on account of the extreme interes taken on the Salmon and the Bear but physical advantages and high grade ore showings will soon force the Marmot into the imeIight ane secure for it the government assis lance in road building to which i Is entitled.

ut is conceded, of course, that the

3 KL ANS|NEN PLEAD
GUILTY H! FL0GGING
INVOLVE 8 OTHERS

TULSA, Okla, Aug. "a. - Three
self-confessed members of the Ku
IIlux Khan faced prison terms to-
day as the first definite result of
Gov. J. C. Walton's drive to uproot
mob violence in Tulsa county. The
men are Ben f. Skies, and Grover
C. Skies, brothers, and Earl Sack,
all of Broken Arrow.
Confessing, their participation in
the flogging of Ben Wagner, a
farmer living near Broken Arrow,
the klansmen pleaded guilty last
| night to charges of riot and threw
themselves on the mercy of the court.
The minimum sentence - two
years Imprisonment - was pro-
| nounced by District Judge w. 3.
Williams after a plea for leniency
had been made by Assistant Attor-
new General King and Ed Grassland,
| defense counsel.
Eight other men. five of whom
have pleaded not guilty. are charged
with implication in the Wagner flog-
ging as the result Of the confess
sions.
Those who elected to stand trial
are A. M. Galloway. w. M. Bills,
Avery Barbour, T. V. Venator and
w. NJ. Lewis.
Warrants have been issued for
the three others, Hal Benson, Dick
Fisher and Harvey Akers, and data
for their preliminary hearing is set
for Sept. 4.
After their sentence the Skies
brothers and Sack were turned back
to the military authorities. 1t is
understood that they will be held in
Tulsa to appear as witnesses
againsts the others charged in the
Wagner case.
Admitting that his clients had
participated in the assault on Wag7
ner. Attorney Grassland delivered
an eloquent plea for judicial Glenn
ency, declaring that the defendants
were but dupes of officials Of the
Ku KluX Khan"
"They went into THE khan without
knowledge Of what they were do
ing" Grassland said. '"They are
hard working men; they make no
money out of this order. They were
misled and beguiled into an insidous
order that has sought to, and has
now covered the country, disseminat-
ing hatred and intolerance and
teaching men to use the lash. The
real guilt of this thing lies at the
door of the men who are getting
the money out Of it,, and who are
willing to prostitute their talent
for the sake of mOney-and poll
ticians who are willing to sacrifice
anything for a vote.
Members of the mob that arranged
the abduction of Wagner had told
his clients, Grassland said, that
Wagner had mistreated his family
and had torn up a Bible.

EXPERTS ADVISED
AN EXTRA SESSION,
WALKER DECLARES

An extra session of the legisla-
ture to consider tax reform was
deemed necessary because 1924 is a
political year, and there would have
been insufficient time between the
regular 1924 session and the Novem-
Der election for the people to inform
themselves on proposed constitution
al amendments, Governor Walker
stated Saturday, in giving additional
reasons for calling the lawmakers
together on November 7.
The governor declared that he has
been informed by tax experts of 9th
err states that there is little Orpor-
tunity to pass tax reform measures
at a regular legislative session, and
especially during political campaigns.
He stated that he included the free
school book issue because the people
of the state have declared for free
school books in political conventions.
The personnel of the tax commits
sion will be announced after he has
taken a vacation of several days, the
governor announced.
ADVISED by experts
The statement issued by the gov
ernor Saturday follows:
Il was advised by tax experts in
other states that their experience
led them to suggest that con-
jstructive reformation of the tax sys-
tenn would be found impossible
during a regular session. The his
tory of the recent session of the
legislature, now familiar to all, con-
firms this suggestion.
Mature deliberation will probably
satisfy thinking people that we
could have little hope for completing
great constructive program of tax
reform at a session held in the midst
of heated national, state and local
political campaign, Moreover, there
would not be time enough after
next summers regular session for
the people to inform themselves and
properly consider cOntitutional
amendments.
ST seriously considered presenting
to this special session. an additional
constructive program including the
enactment of laws providing for a
modern and scientific audit system,
budget system, purchasing system
and a biennial session. After reflec-
ton, however, I determined to limit
the call to a reformation of the tax
system, which is the basis of hope
for constructive progress in the fiji
ture, together with a system of en-
forcement of the tax laws which will
bring into the state treasury addi-
tional hundreds of thousands of dol
lars annually.

chasing school books, as this matter
is in an unsettled state and the peo-
pie in convention have declared for
the furnishing Of school books free
