Rock, discoverer of | the chaulmoogra tree that yields a leprosy-combating oil, and leader of the society’s expedition into Yunnan, a vast and little explored province in southwestern China, Mr. Rock, a well known plant au- thority, has just returned to Washing- ton and in narrating his experiences, tells of finding the Yunnan aboriginal tribes who still practice religious cere- monies. that pre-date the introduction of Buddhism and the discovery of a blight-resisting chestnut tree, which it is hoped, will aid in restoring the dis- timber erop in the United States, The explorer brought back from the wlilds of the Chinese province some 1,700 specimens of birds, 500 mam- mal specimens and more than 60,000 plants. He also came into possesion of books used by the Nashi, or Moso priests, containing ancient writing in picture form. The books also ante- date Buddhiem in China and Tibet and include a story of a great flood. During his adventure Mr., Rock traversed an hitherto unexplored gorge of the Yangtze river, described as much deeper than the Grand Can- yon of the Colorado. The:crossing of streams presented one of the most difficult problems of the expedition, Mr. Rock and his 23 native assistants and pack animals having to be swung across them on single-strand rope bridges. The party also had narrow escapes from bandits along the China- Tibet rramler. NATURAL GAS FLOWS FRON DRY BED OF THE TULE LAKE Eight Vents Have Suddenly Opened in Oregon Lake and Tests Show the Gas to Be of Paraffin Variety Klamath Falls, Ore., July 21— Eight vents emitting natural gas have suddenly opened in the dry bed of Tule Lake, 30 miles east of here. Tests by J. D, Howard, a local geolo- gist, show the gas to be of paraffine variety. Flames more than a foot in length, burning with intense heat, are reported to have been obtained in tests. The vents or chimneys range in diameter from six #o 30 inches and are several feet deep. Between August 6 and 10 last year water disappeared from eight ‘tec- tions of Tule Lake bed.

One voice of a klansman who | seemed to be a leader was heard to ery out “Don't shoot until they cross | the field,” and this set the crowd on | | the outside into a frenzy of howling | |and jeering while insulting epithets were thrown at the klansmen from all sides. Kiansman Assaults Boy When the automobiles were leading from the field, a klansman riding a | motoreyele came through the lanes of | people swinging a club and he hit | Harry Seward, age 19 years, of South- ington over the head inflicting a long | gash in his scalp. 1t was stated that a state policeman later on in the eve- ning apprehended the man who swung the club, Interspersed among the erowd were newspaper reporters from Wa- terbury, New Haven, Meriden, New Britain and other towns and cities, Many of thesa were busily engaged in securing the numbers of the antomo- biles as they entered the fleld and later as they left. Tt was seen that several of the automoblles had their number plates covered. Although all of the re- porters made attempts to get into the meeting, as far as is known, none of them was succesaful. Makes Anti-Catholic Speech A (rip along the Waterbury-Meriden turnpike and a turn over a back road to the left, howaver, would bring an autoist close to the place of the meat- ing. Here the spsaker who ranted against the Catholic church was heard in the course of his speech to ghout “We have accomplished one wonderful thing since the last meeting. We have succeeded ont in Ohio, of getting the state board of education rid of all catholics and also of all foreigners with the exception of three, and those three are members of good standing of this order.” Other remarks made by the speaker were direct attacks on the catholic church. He said also that “We have at the present time 68 representatives in congress and after the next election, we will have three times that many.” He warned the gathering that every member should do his utmost to secure new members and stated that because there were so many women joining, a woman's auxiliary would soon be started in this state. Following his speech, the initiation of candidates was carried out and the master-of-ceremonies could be heard to shout “Now all here will fall back and we will form a hollow square and proceed with this initiation.” The candidates wer ethen duly initiated be- fore the flaming cross, which contrary to the usual practices of the klan was placed in a hollow hidden from the view of the world, instead of an a hilltop. This is the first meeting of the kian in this section that has been so widely advertised. The time and place of the konklave was known for nearly a week ahead and early Saturday morn- ing, signs wera placed on poles leading {to the meeting: place reading “Wel- | come to our city, K. K.
