Camps grounder to first allowed Stew art to score, although the batter was out, Niehaus unassisted. Jeanes struck out and ended the inning.
 In the eighth Chattanooga again opened the attack and took bigger lead. Smiths single. followed by An dersoHs three-base sock just inside left field foul line, counted the first tally. Robertson then let one of Bates fast ones jump out of his mitt and Ander- son scored. The next three men went out in order. -
 The Big BIOw-Up
 In the eighth the big blow-up came. Petey Brausen, first batter at the plate, hit a driving grounder to Anderson and he let 1t get through his legs, while the minute Barons third-saeker took three hassocks. Stewards single to center brought Brausen home. Rhode hit a double to center and Stewart went-to third. Ganzel singled to left and Stewart scored and Rhode followed at his heels over the platter. Camp was walked and Roy jerked. Jeanes hit of James fork-flung deliveries back at Bates rather steamily and the Lookout shortstop was. handcuffed. It was then that Ganzel was massacred at home on a glaring misjudgment from the third base coach. He died at the platter, Bates to Nunamaker. Hartford laid down a beautiful sacrifice and beth men on base moved up a notch. Then the Chattanooga battery pulled a little strategy and deliberately walked Pop Robertson to get to Red Bates. Stuffy Stewart matched this move by a strategic bit r of maneuvering on his own part and Roy Spencer was-sent in to hit. However, Speneer's best effort was a greunder to short that resulted in his extermination at first.
 The Barons tied the knot in the ninth, when Brausen, first up again, was hit by a pitched ball. Stewart singled though ,Bandrimer made a mighty at tempt to get his drive by jumping high

SHANK LIFTS BAN
ON MASKED KLAN
PARADES IN CITY
We'll Give EN- Mounted Po-
lice to Lead March,, Says
Mayor,

The city ban upon parades of
masked ku-klux Klansmen has been
lifted, Mayor Shank announced today.
Shank has been a bitter opponent Of
the Klan. which generally IS credited
with defeating him for the Republican
nomination for Governor in Tuesday s
primary.
Shank said he conferred with the
board of safety late Friday and it was
decided that If the Klan wanted to
parade "well give permit. furnish
police protection along the route and
give EN- detail of mounted police to
head the parade.
1T looks to me like a majority of
the people want Klan government.
That's the way they appeared to have
voted II they want it Wen let EN-
have it,"
Shank said the conference was held
when it was reported the Klan would
parade i'm Indianapolis tonight in
celebration of the victory at the polls.

TAX BILL PASSED
BY SENATE; SENT
TO CONF FERENCE
Measure Has Virtually No
Resemblance to One
Originally introduced,


WASHINGTON, May 10. The
Senate today passed the tax bill and
sent il to conference with the House
AS passed, the measure has virtually
no resemblance TO the bill as reported
by the Senate Finance Committee
three weeks ago.
All the important rate schedules in
the Mellon plan were written out by
the Democratic Progressive coalition
and the Democratic rates substituted
for them.
The bill carries out completely the
Democratic theory of big tax reduc-
tions on small incomes with lesser
reductions on large incomes The
Progressive coalition Sc
cured adoption of their normal surtax.
inheritance, corporation and big gift
rates.
On every point where the Repub-
licans resisted the Democratic pro.
gram they were defeated.
The action of the Senate ends the
long battle that began last Novem-
ber when Secretary OF the Treasury
Mellon sent a letter to Congress an
nOuncing there was a $4,000, 600 sur
plus in the treasury and offered a plan
for reducing taxes.
The Mellon plan of rate reduction
was easily defeated in both houses.
The House adopted the Longworth
compromise plan, which represented
a medium between the Mellon rates
and a Democratic proposal.
But the Senate went farther and
adopted outright the Simmons Demo-
cratic plan

That Political Fences May

Candidacy Feared,
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN
fCopgri0ht. 1921, bu United Press

WASHINGTON. May 10.-President
Coolidge has been given a picture of
the jumbled situation in Indiana by
former Senator Albert Beveridge.
guest at the White House
Beveridge's visit assumes unusual
interest because Indiana is one of the
hardest problems the Coolidge man
agers face and because BeveridGe Is
talked of as a possible running mate
for Mr.. Coolidge.
The President is keenly interested
in the ku-Klux Klan strength in In
diana When Senator Ralston de-
feated Beveridge for the Senate. one
of the reasons assigned was klan
opposition to Beveridge. Since then
the Klan has demonstrated in more
sweeping fashion its powerful hold.
1t nominated it's candidate for Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket in the
recent primary. This raises very
strong question. therefore, concern
ing Beveridge's chances of carrying
his own State, should be be selected
to run with Mr.. Coolidge.
The President may scrap all the
old leaders-New. Watson and others
according to gossip here. and
through his representatives bring or
der out OF chaos, which followed the
McCray case and the old feuds be-
tween various factions.
Many observers believe Senator
Ralston of Indiana is the man most
likely to be picked by the Democrats
when they seek a dark horse to push
to the front in the New York con-
vention This would admittedly add
to the difficulties of the Republican
task and that is why the President is
giving the situation attention now.
