GOVERNMENT INQUIRY TO FIND OUT IF KLAN IS DIRECTING GRIMES . -WASHINGTON. Feb. 5 William J. -Burns, chief of the bureau of investigation, has dispatched investigators into a number of eastern, western and southern states to make inquiry into "hooded mob" crimes. Confession in Mr. Burns's hands charge that these crimes are directed f'-om one state into another, and this phase ot alleged Ku Klux Klan activity makes federal action necessary, it was stated. There is no doubt that in many instances of the "hooded mob crimes" that the persons responsible for them wore the regalia of the Ku Klux Klan and had at times been identified with the "invisible empire." To Clear Up Point What 4he department has not been able to definitely establish is whether the crimes actually were directed by the Kla"". as an organization or whether unauthorized persons obtained the regalia to shield acts of violence which they themselves planned, officials of the 'lepartment said. The investigation now under way is designed to clear up this vital point, and will largely influence federal policy in . the immediate future, it was stated. If it develops that a central office is directing the outrages in various states, swift action will be taken to round up and prosecute those responsible. Even should the Klan- officially be able to show no direct responsibility for acts of violence, it may still have to answer for unconstitutional politi cai practices, such as intimidating judges and public servants. Sent to States Department of justice investigators have been sent to Washington state, Oregon. Oklahoma. Colorado, Texas. Ohio. New York, Massachusetts and Georgia, where the Klan now is said to be unusually active. The immediate crimes are said to be: Criminal political activity in Oregon and Washington; a triple murder in Oklahoma; a series of rnurd rs and kiilnapings in Ohio; murder in New York; raids and assaults in Massachusetts, and murders in Louisiana. Agents have .been sent to Georgia because the general headquarters of the Klan is located in Atlanta. $62,000 ASKED FOR SEWER CONSTRUCTION City Clerk Bescher, Monday, was instructed by the board of works to draw up an ordinance to be presented to council asking for $62,000 for the construction of a sewer in North Sixteenth and North E streets.

POSTOFFIGE IS READY TO PAY FOR STAMPS Persons holding interim receipts issued by the local postoffice as evidence of the surrendering of war savings stamps of the 191S series, and who presented their stamps to the local office on or after Jan. 1, are asked to call at the postoffice, present their interim receipts and get cash in exchange for the stamps left with the postal officials. Many persons have had the idea that they would receive a check for the amount due them, hut if their stamps were left at the postoffice since Jan. 3. and an interim receipt granted, the holder of such receipt must call at the office for his money. Practically all persons who presented their stamps to the postoffice for cashing before Jan. 1, and whose stamps were sent to the federal reserve bank at Chicago, have received their checks in return, it is believed by the postoffice officials.

Locate Gigantic Quake In Islands of Pacific (By Associated Press) CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 5.

His calculation based on observation of the tidal waves, would place the convulsions about 1,300 miles northwest of Honolulu. As the map shows no islands there, he believes it possible that some were hoisted up by the sub-Pacil'ic earth quake.
