GRAIN SHIPPERS
HAVE NO KICKS
Freight Service in North Da.
kota Declared to Be Salts
factory

Despite one Of the heaviest grain
movements in the history of North
Dakota, only two complaints have
been received at the state railroad
board from shippers dissatisfied with
the railroad service.
Indications are that the peak Of
the grain movement has been passed.
commissioner B. C. Larkin said, and
no car shortage or embargoes are
in prospect in North Dakota. al
though difficulty still is being ex-
rerienced in handling the grain rush
at the head Of the lakes.
The fact that much Of the grain
mas been more moist than usual and
has contained more than an ordinary
amount of dockage has slowed uu
operations at the terminals, he said.
Each of the complaints regarding
car service came from the same
point, Larkin said, and were quickly
cared for.
Although the board has no fig
ures regarding the grain movement.
Larkln said he believed the grain
came to the elevators more swiftly
this year than ever before and that
the record of the carriers and elc-
v.ators in handling the grain def
lnltely proves the value Of careful
preparation and coordinated effort.
Much Of the grain grown in the
southern part of the state has been
shipped, the board has been in
formed, and the movement from
the northern section has reached its
peak. Railroad board members said
the pressure upon the railroads and
the terminals at the head of the
lakes probably would begin to de-
crease in the near future in so far
as shipments from North Dakota arc
concerned.

AT PITTSBURGH
st. Louis Cardinal Appears
Winner of Another Flag
During Present Year
BREAKS COMBINATION
McGraw Has Record for Win
World Championships; Piloted
Giants to Three
BY BILLY EVANS

If the st. Louis Cardinals cop the
National League pennant this sea-
son-and it seems nothing short of
a complete collapse can prevent such
an occurrence-Bill McKechnie will
have the honor of putting over an
achievement accomplished by only
one other National League manager
in the last 20 seasons. And that is,
plotting flag winner in two differ
ent cities.
Back in 1915 the late Pat Moran
led the Phillies to the gonfalon.
Four years later he turned the
same trick for Cincinnati. In each
instance it was the only time the
Phils or Reds finished on top.
McKechnie, it will be recalled
was manager of the Pirates when
they won the pennant in 1925, the
first Pittsburgh championship over
16-year stretch. Now Bill has q
chance to equal the feat hung up by
Moran nine years ago.
Titles Are Mon0p0lized
National League titles, by the
way, have been pretty much mo.
nopolized by the Clarke Chance-Mc.
Graw combine. Clarke, while boss.
ing the Pirates, copied four flags;
Chance, with his peerless Chicago
Club machine, reached the purple
heights four times too and McGraw
and his Giants have shown the way
on 10 occasions. Thus the famous
triumviratc has accounted for Is
old league championships since
Clarke led Pittsburgh to the throne
in 1901.
The only other National League
pilot to win more than one pennant
in modern play is Wilbcrt Robinson
of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Uncle
Robbie put his club on top in 1915
and 1920.
From 1901 until 1914 the cham.
pionship was nothing but a Clarke.
Chance McGraw affair. Then came
George Stallings to break the ice
with the sensational rush Of his Bos
ton Braves in 1914. But for tina,
thrilling July to October march Nc
Graw would have added another flaf
to his string.
Outside of Stallings there hav,
been just four one-timc winners
Fred Mitchell (Cubs) in 1918; Nc

fort but may get another chance L

Since 1910, when Chance led hi.
Cubs to their third straight flae
from his position at first base. Rog
ers Hornsby ranks as the only &C
tive playing pilot to command
pennant winner in the National cir
cult.
Virtually all of these successful
leaders rose from the ranks of play
ers, however. McGraw, in hi.
Younger days, was a star at thirt
base; Robinson was a catcher, al
also was Moran; Mitchell was
pitcher; McKechnie a second base
man and Bush shortstop. Oddl,

Canzoneri is recognized as the

The contest, in addition to proving

were elected to the legislature
though the activity of a group OF
men identified with me and COM
monty referred to as members OF
my organization. They were not
klansmen. 1t was the practice to
learn all they could about the priv
vate life and private business az
fairs of newly elected member OF
the legislature. If there was
mortgage upon the home OF the
member, they went to the bank
that held the mortgage or sent an
agent there, and agreed to place
large deposit in the bank in the
event of the bank in turn selling
the representatives mortgage to the
man and in this way came into
control of the mortgage on the
property Of the legilators.
Profit In Politics
O. what was the purpose in con-
trolling legislators and the legis-
lature.
A. The purpose was to put them.
selves in q position to pass any bill
that was satisfactory to themselves
and bills from which they later
could obtain financial returns. Also
control the legislature and put them
in a position to dictate to State
officials because all Of them wanted
something for their office or had
some function of office to perform
that was solely dependent upon
their friendly attitude of the legis-
lature.
The profit from controlling tho
legislature in Indiana came, In some
measure, from the power to desig-
nate the location of State deposits:
that Is to say, the State of Indiana
operated q budget system and at
one time during the year has Mt
least $23, 900 in cash to deposit
in banks and, at least half that
sum over q long period Of time.
They dictated the location of some
Of these deposits, at least during the
last two or three years, ever since I
have been in prison here, as am
reliably informed. In one instance I
was given this information in q let
ter from the banker to one of my at
torneys and my attorney still has
the letter.
Philosophy OF Khan
u Q.-You have referred in your tes-
timony to the spiritual philosophy of
the khan that would indicate that it
has certain definite principles or re-
ligious activities. VIII you please
state whether or not the khan has de.
parted from its original ideas on re-
ngion.
A.-Yes, there has been 3. very dis
tinct departure. When the khan was
originally organized rather,
when I came into it-the spiritual
philosophy promulgated by Col. Sim
mons was one OF absolute liberation.
There was no prescription against
anyone because of their creed and
we endeavored to carry that policy
into the States over which had con-
troll.
Briefly stated, it is this: we did
not admit foreign-born citizens. We
did not admit adherents to the Ro-
man Catholic faith or religion. The
Jews have the B'Nai Birth to which

thew admit only the Jewish people;
the colored people have the African
Blood brotherhood to which they ad.
NIT only men of the colored race.
The vorious foreign societies have
their organization, like the Greek AL
lance. to which they admit no for.
eigners. and the Catholic people have
the Knights of Columbus to which
thev admit only people of the Catho-
lie faith, We conceded to all OF these
people the right to assemble into
their ranks only persons OF their own
faith or their own race.
There were those in the khan who
misunderstood this idealistic policy.
They conceived the notion that it
was hate organization and follow.
ing this conception, or rather mis-
conception, of the organization, they
sent into the northern States, or
rather. the States over which had
control. including Indiana, Ohio and
others, a group of the most vitriolic,
Acrimonious, bitter speakers ever
listened to.
one of them got up before the
close of a, meeting at Anderson, Ind,
which is the county seat OF Madison
county, and he made speech before
the khan in which he said: 1.-THE
only good Jew is dead Jew. The
only good Catholic is a dead Catholic.
and the only good negro IL a dead
negro"
When he made that statement be-
fore the audience that composed the
Anderson khan, it resulted in abso.
lutely breaking up the organization,
or virtually doing so. There was not
a man in the meeting who had that
view of it.
There was no thought Of Bit
terness attached to the policy of not
admitting those people to our ranks,
but as previously stated, they were
not admitted for the same reason
they would not admit US to their
organization. The leaders missed the
point and as a result wrecked the
khan.
Another interesting instalment Of
this remarkable deposition will be
printed tomorrow exclusively in
The Washington Times.
