, to have the right to ignore state lines
in their enforcement work, nor is
there intention to use the authority
generally over the country.
Opeing the four hours of senate de-
bate, Senator Walsh said he had no
warrant to speak for the president
and raised his voice only after watt
| ing for some one on the Republican
side to do so. Replying directly to
the charge yesterday by the leader of
his party, Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, that the presidents order
| constituted the usurpation Of power.
the Montana senator said he could
not sit silent while that assertion was
made.
The Montana senator was subject
! ed to a cross-fire of questioning from
both sides of the chamber, but insist
ed there was no inhibition in the
constitution on the point and that
the Volstead act prescribed the meth
cd of appointment of prohibition
agents by the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue and the attorney general,
both creatures of the president.
When Senator Walsh concluded,
| Senator Bruce launched into another
! long attack on the order during which
he asserted that outside of eight or
ten senators there is not q real pro-
hibitionist in the senate"
Commenting that prohibition field
agents are not under civil service,
| the Marylander declared that they
had been exempted because Wayne
b. Wheeler, general counsel of the
Anti-Saloon League, wanted to use
these posts as patronage with which
to bribe congress"
In the house Representative Curry
called attention that California had
very strict enforcement code and
declared that 1--WE are getting along
very well, thank you, without the In
reference of unsolicited, unconstitu-
tional supervisory power by SNUG
bureaucrat from the state of New
York." referring to Assistant Secre-
tary Andrews, in charge of prohibit
, ton enforcement.
"Tf this is not repealed by the ex-
ecutive branch of the government"
he said, "steps must be taken to
throw it out, hook, line and sinker."
After Mr.. Carey had spoken. Cen
eral Andrews disclosed that Edward
Green. prohibition administrator at
San Francisco, was ready to confer
federal power upon fourteen deputy
sheriffs in his territory while Admin
istrator Robert c. Firth at Los An
geles was prepared to swear in three
deputy sheriffs in that territory.

for an extensive program at Camp
Keyes with DR.. Hiram Evans of At
lanta, Ca. imperial wizard of the or
der, as the pincipal speaker and with
lesser officers also in attendance.
The declaration of chairman Leigh
Of the executive committee is as
follows:
"The Knights of the Ku Klux Khan
Realm of Maine, through q special
executive committee had planned a
state field day to be held at Augusta
on June IL, 1926. The program in
cluded a street parade as a promi-
nent feature. A permit to parade on
certain streets in Augusta was re-
quested Of Mayor Ernest L. Mclean
and was granted but this permit
specified that no hoods or masks
should be worn. Contrary to the
rules and regulations of the order
the committee yielded in regard to
the masks, not thinking for a mo-
ment that the use of the helmet
(hood) would actually be forbidden,
the committee went on with it's plans.
1T now becomes necessary to in
form the public that the permit
granted by Mayor Mclean. meant ex-
actly what it says and that the use
of the hoods will positively not be
allowed in the parade even with the
masks up.
"The committee feels that the
members of the order are being de-
MED the rights of American citizens
as there is no moral or legal reason
for such drastic restrictions on the
part of Mayor Mclean.
1.-The committee therefore proclaim
to the people of the state of Maine
that the state field day above re-
ferred to is cancelled

streets of Augusta it was with the
proviso that neither hoods or masks
should be worn. At the time the
representatives Of the order who
made the request for parade per-
init did not accept nor reject these
provisions but later they were grant
ed the permit.
Recently Chairman Leigh issued a
statement in which he declared that
the members of the organization
would comply with the order that no
masks should be worn but stated
that they felt that the wearing of the
hood would be no violation of the
spirit of the permit.
To this Mayor Ernest L. Mclean
responded with public letter In
which he emphatically declared that
if either hoods or masks were worn
it would be deemed a violation OF
the terms of the permit.
The proposed field day was expect
ed by Klansmen to be the largest
gathering of the order ever held in
Maine The number of Klansmen who
would be in Augusta on that day was
variously estimated at from 5000 to
10000 and 1t was said that special
trains loaded with members of the
order would come to this ctv from

ment rested it's case.
Four defense witnesses called dur
ing the afternoon session denied that
liquor-was at the party and none
was questioned about the bathtub
episode.
Miss Hawley was escorted from
the court room by side door. thus
avoiding hundreds of curious persons
waiting for a glimpse of her in the
corridor. .M---
The government sprang a surprise
} by calling Irwin Cobb, writer and
guest at the party to the stand.
Cobb testified that as he was about
to leave the Earl Carroll Theatre
early in the morning of last Feb. %.
Carroll urged him to remain as he
was going to put on a stunt of
girl in a tub" On cross examination
by counsel for Carroll, who is charg-
ed with perjury in connection with
grand jury investigation of the bath
tub incident, Cobb said that he was
close personal acquaintance of the
theatrical man and that so far as he
knew CARROTS reputation for veraci-
ty was excellent.
Cobb testified that he saw a "rosy"
liquid in the bathtub but in response
to question whether he drank any
Of it. he answered: II did not"
Asked if he had any talks with

talks"

publican. Maryland, a leader of the
vets, offered a resolution which
would have the effect of multiplying
the presidents action.
An informal but official White
House pronouncement was that the
president felt he had neither exceed
ed his authority nor invaded state
rights but was ready to modify his
order, should it's operation lead to
harmful consequences.
Senate Motion Adopted
The senate resolution of inquiry
sponl ored by Senator King, Demo
crat, Utah, was adopted after pro-
hibition field day in the senate dur
ing which the legality of the order
was defended there for the first time
