Gladwell G. Richardson, 19, confess­
ed Tuesday morning to the slaying of
Rabbi Alfred G. Lafee in a San Fran­
cisco hotel on April 4 in a statement
made to Assistant County Attorney
Hart. The confession was taken down
by the district attorney’s stenographer
and follows out in detail the diary
found on his person when arrested
early Monday mofning.
F. A. Davis, forest ranger, had a
thrilling adventure last week when
he was out on a survey of the snow
in the Seven-Mile bill district near
Albany. He attempted to kill a big
bear with two shots from a ,38-caliber
revolver and after wounding the bear
with one, missed his target entirely
with the other. Returning to his cabin
he secured an ax and after stunning
the bear he killed it with his pocket
knife.
declared, however, that outside the
three-mile limit American vessels can
legally sell intoxicants to passengers. '
The right of foreign ships to do so had
not been questioned.
The opinion, rendered in ten cases
brought by foreign and two by Amer­
ican steamship companies, was deliver­
ed by Justice Vandevander. Without
expressing his views. Justice McRey­
nolds dissented.
Justice Sutherland in a dissenting
opinion agreed with the majority of
the court in reference to American
ships, but declared that foreign ves­
sels had the right to bring liquors into
American ports under restrictions ade­
quately guarding against leakage
ashore.
The effect of the decision was to
affirm that of Federal Judge Hand
in New York insofar as it sustained
the opinion of Attorney-General Daugh­
erty that intoxicants could not legally
be brought into American ports and to
reverse it with regard to the right of
American vessels to have liquor
aboard on the high seas and in foreign
ports.
The court pointed out specifically
that congres has the power, if it sees
fit to exercise it, to forbid all ships
flying the American flag to carry and
serve liquors outside the three-mile
limit. This view of the court resulted
in predictions by many “dry” leaders,
after the gist of the decision hàd be­
come known, that an attempt would be
made to obtain legislation on this point
at the earliest opportunity.
Sweeping in its scope, the decision
left administration officials somewhat
at sea as to how they would proceed
as a matter of permanent policy. Chair­
man Lasker, of the shipping board, an­
nounced that for the present at least
the ban on liquor would be kept on all
shipping board vessels. The treasury,
it became known, intends to begin at
once to redraft its prohibiting arrange­
ments to make them jibe with Mon­
day's decision.
•
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes, expressing gratification at the
court's interpretation of the law, de­
clared it would greatly simplify pro­
hibition enforcement within American
territorial waters, his view being that
a benefit would be gained as a result
of foreign and American vessels being
placed on the same basis within the
three-mile limit.

Washington. D. C.—Government ac­
tion to stabilise the price of agricul­
tural products will be pressed in the
next congress by farm bloc and radical
republican members who are seeking
to control the balance of power in both
houses.
The farm bloc leaders who con­
trolled the agricultural committee in
the last congress but did not have
strength enough to swing their legis­
lation, succeeded in getting favorable
committee action on several bills pro­
posing federal control of prices. Now
with the radical strength greatly in­
creased in both houses, the bloc lead­
ers have high hopes of pushing some
of these measures through.
It is admitted by the bloc pilots
of both parties that the movement
for federal price stabilization depends
considerably upon prices which the
farmers will receive for crops this
year.
If there should be a general high
level of prices to the farmers and
crops are abundant, the American agri­
culturalist may temper his clamoring
for government aid, but if the present
level of agricultural prices continue
and at the same time the farmer is
still called upon to pay the prevalent
prices for his supplies, the agitation
for price stabilization legislation will
be greater than ever.
During the last session of congress
wheat growers of the northwest sent
delegations to Washington to urge leg­
islation to insure a proper return to
the farmer. Support for the legisla
tion was centered chiefly in the north­
west, although growers of a few farm
products other than wheat also join­
ed in the request for legislation.
Most of the proposed bills create
some sort of a corporation to buy a
sufficient amount of farm products to
stabilize prices. Some of them specify
minimum prices, while others do not.
One of the bills which is certain to be
revived in the next session of congress

Port Orford.—Joseph Lissner, resi­
dent engineer for the federal bureau of

more gear will be in the water than at

pansion campaign.
Salem.—Efforts of certain packing
Interests to beat down the high pre­
vailing price for cherries during the
last ten days have been futile, accord­
ing to the growers. A number of con­
tracts have been made here recently,

sold at less than 10 cents a pound.
Even higher prices are predicted be­
fore the close of the season.
Salem.—Owners of the Salem tulip
farm, a short distance west of this city,
estimated that approximately 5000 per­

tulips are in full bloom, and thousands
of them are being shipped to various

next Sunday which has been set aside
as blossom day in the Willamette
valley, an even larger crowd la ex­
pected.
Something to
Think .About
By F. Â. IF J LIER
A RAY OF SUNSHINE
T MATTERS not how lovely we
may be, nor how dread life-tides
about our little selves may ebb and
flow, there Is always some one among
our friends and acquaintances upoiw
whom we can shed a ray of sunshine.
Some one Is living under darker
skies than we. longing for encouraging
words or cheering smiles; some one
is starving for affection which means
to him or her a lamp of hope; some
one Is striving to overcome ruinous
habits, too weak to hold his or her
frail craft on a safe course.
Each one is living In a state of
gloom, from which there seems to be
no way of escape.
Each one needs a ray of friendship,
the blessed boon which If used aright
would make the whole world brighter,
knit mankind closer In happiness,
soothe aching hearts, dry bunting tears
and hide from cold stares the beggar's
outstretched hand.
There Is something In soul sunshine
that penetrates the toughest fibre In
human nature.
So send forth this mystic cheer far
and wide.
Strew flowers over the rugged path
of the poor ami the sorrowing, the ill
and the wretched, the old and the
lonely.
Pour sunshine In their hearts and
see It Illuminate their countenance,
wing their feet and tune their tongues
to praiseful songs.
Let It shine on every cross and care.
There are hungry hearts every­
where, behind walls of marble and
slabs of hovels, praying for apprecia­
tion and sympathy.
Find one If we can nnd blow to
flame the spark that kindles love.
Scatter sunshine across the sea and
over the land until it shall turn night
to noon-tide.
We may speak different dialects, but
we can punctuate our sentences with
cheer nnd make ourselves understood,
not clumsily nor dimly, but easily nnd
dearly as the sunlight of heaven.
And If we have within us the right
spirit, we can continue this beneficent
work until love shall cunopy the earth,
faith and hope flood the dark places
with glorious light and sorrow turn to
gladness. Whatever the number of
good deeds we may have done, how­
ever far we have flung the sunshine,
there will be times In our lives when
we shall feel that we have not done
enough to merit the peace which is
ours—unspeakably sweet and rich be
yond price.
