t
Mayor Back From Portland.
SALEM. Or., April S. (Special.)
Clamoring for a rigid Investigation of
Saturday night's riot in the streets of
Turner, members of the Turner city
administration, and those of the op
posing faction, descended today upon
the office of District Attorney Ringo.
Each faction vociferously blamed the
other for the 2-year-old trouble which
culminated in a pitched battle in which
three men were stabbed, one perhaps
fatally, and more than a score were
cut and bruised. Mr. Ringo said that
he would Institute an inquiry within
a few days.
Feeling in Turner was still high over
Saturday's disgraceful affair, and to
day Oscar Cole. a. resident of the town,
was arrested on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons.
Change of Venae Asked.
Taken before Justice Earl, at Turn
er, Cole demanded a change of venue,
declaring that he could not obtain an
impartial hearing in a town where
nearly everyone was embroiled in the
civir feud. He came to Salem tonight
and probably will have his hearing
here tomorrow.
Freedom of Councilman Jeans, ar
rested by Sheriff Esch yesterday on a
charge of assaulting Robert Hunsaker
with a knife, was brief. After his re
lease on $500 bond furnished by fellow
Councilman, Jeans returned to Turner
and Immediately James Kelley, another
of the city official's alleged victims,
caused his arrest on a warrant sworn to
in Justice Earl's court. Kelley, who
was stabbed several times In the ab
domen, charges assault with a danger
ous weapon. Martin Nicely, who sus
tained a number of wounds, also lodged
a similar complaint 'against Jeans.
Friends of Jeans were busy tonight
endeavoring to raise money on the
bond to procure his release.
Mayor Thomas Returns.
After passing Sunday in Portland,
Mayor Thomas, of Turner, reappeared
today. He declared he had left Turner
not through any fear, but for business
reasons. The Mayor was, in Salem to
day insisting that the District Attor
ney prosecute an inquiry Into the af
fray of Saturday night. He said -the
trouble was due in a great degree to
the activities of a few prominent citi
zens, who refused to forget the dis
pute over installing a city water sys
tem. He asserted that it was largely
through his efforts that city water
and a new school were obtained.
"When I was elected Mayor last De
cember," he continued, "I called our
people together and urged them to
drop the old feud and get together. I be
lieve the majority of our citizens were
willing to forget past differences, but
a few have insisted on keeping the old
issue alive and bringing up new causes
for trouble. If I have made some
enemies it has been in working for the
good of the community as I saw it.
Salem Hospital officials said tonight
tnat Kooert iunsaer, one or Jeans
alleged victims, was progressing as
satisfactorily as could be expected
considering that he had sustained four
deep intestinal wounds. They said it
was too early to predict the outcome.
Mrs. Sarah Frances Mills Dead.
ASHLAND. Or.. April 3. (Speclal.-
Mrs. Sarah Frances Mills died here to
day. Mrs. Mills was a native of New
York and came to Ashland in 1886. She
was the widow of Dr. Mills, a prom
ment resident 01 Ashland for many
years. She leaves no living children.

( HAIR COMING OUT?
t
Dandruff causes a feverish irritation
of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loos
en and then the hair comes out fast. To
stop falling hair at once and rid the
scalp of every particle of dandruff, get
a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any
drug store, pour a little in your hand
and rub It into the scalp. After a few
applications the hair stops coming out
and you cu t Jnd any dandruff.

ered by Watchman Worden the two
trusties mounted the roof with a hose
and played water on the fire until it
was extinguished.
The fire started from sparks from
the garbage incinerator falling on the
roof of the flax mill. Fortunately, the
burning embers from the roof happened
to fall on the bare cement floor "inside
the mill. Had they fallen ten feet on
either side of the bare space the great
piles of dried straw would have been
lost. The prison authorities have rec

Damage to Private Flre-Figtnlng

Is Started by Spark. From
Chimney of Restaurant.
Ten thousand gallons of water, quiet
and cool, in the great tank that tops
the. sixth story of the Royal building,
Broadway and Morrison streets, was
nearly destroyed by fire yesterday fore
noon at 11:30.
Can you beat it?
From a high window of the North
western Bank building some one beheld
the roof of the tank break merrily into
blaze. The alarm was turned in.
Engine 1 and truck 1, of the fire de
partment, responded.
The firemen found the sides of the
tank cool and moist with the pent flood,
but the entire roof was a thatch of fire.
From a standpipe on the roof the hose
was attached, and the flames quickly
quelled.
The tank is itself a part of the priv
ate firef ighting equipment of the Royal
building containing storage for the
sprinkling system. Eleven and one-
half feet of water sloshed in its 12-foot
depth as the firemen clambored over
the huge circular vat.
Engineer C. A. Wheeler, of the Royal
building, refused to permit the use of
the private system, with a probable
drainage into the halls below, and left
the little matter to the boys of the fire
department. He estimates the damage
at $75. A new roof will be constructed.
The fire was caused by a spark from
the chimney of the Royal restaurant in
the same building.

G. Carson, of Hermiston, has accepted
a position with the United States coast
and geodetic survey for work in Alas
ka. He has been in the Government
service in geological surveying since
graduation in civil engineering last
June, until the unusually deep snow of

He then came back to Oregon Agri

In highway engineering, and ha3 just
received notice of his appointment with
assignment to survey work for map

Wallace R. Struble Asserts Tbat
Object Is to Find Weak Spots
and Provide for Remedying:
Objectionable Conditions.
"The storm center of the campaign
for a naval base of the first class at the
mouth of the Columbia River is now
Washington City." said "Wallace R.
Struble, secretary of the naval base
committee of Astoria, last night. "A
campaign of unusual features will be
launched vigorously April '4 by K. C.
Harley, chairman of the committee,
who has opened headquarters in Wash
ington, and will remain in the city until
after the annual convention of the
Navy League of the United States, April
10. 11 and 12.
"The Astoria committee bases its
claims for recognition of the Columbia
River on the broadest aspects of pa
trlotism in the interest of real prepar
edness," Mr. Struble declared. In its
literature and correspondence under
this idea it has given pitiless publicity
to the conditions prevailing on the har
bors of the Pacific Coast which are the
natural sites for naval bases not with
the idea of detraction, but for informa
tion. The committee has assumed that.
In the recognition of any of the four
points which are regarded by naval
officials as natural sites for naval
bases. Congress would provide for the
remedying of any conditions that might
be weak.
Colombia Defense Necessity.
"The fortification and equipment of
the Columbia, both from a military and
naval standpoint, has been urged as a
ecessary measure of defense in the
interest of naval investments at Puget
Sound as well as for the protection of
the Pacific Coast and the Nation. Puget
Sound newspapers, commercial bodies
and representatives have failed to
measure this argument at its real
worth and have been in haste to accuse
the Astoria committee of hostility to
the Bremerton programme. Senator
Poindexter and Representative Hum
phrey both have uttered a protest, fail
ing apparently to understand that the
work of the Astoria committee has been
to bring out all the facts with a view
to obtaining the best measures of pro
tection for the entire Coast.
Mr. Humphrey was clearly informed
yesterday of the attitude of the Astoria
committee both by telegram and letter.
Therein the statement was made: If
the defense of the Columbia River is
essential for the real protection of
Puget Sound, as is declared by compe
tent military and naval experts, then
it follows as a natural corollary that
appropriations for both points should
e made coincidentally.
Patriotic Arguments Made.
The arguments of the naval base
committee of Astoria are founded upon
ust such principles of patriotism as
these. This committee cares not one
cent whether the site for this proposed
naval base at the mouth of the Colum
bia River is on the Washington or the
Oregon side of that river. ... If
there are any facts to be brought out
about the Columbia River which prove
it to be unfitted for the proposed naval
base, let them be produced. The people
have a right to know also if there are
any conditions at Puget Sound which
would jeopardize naval investments
there. There are such conditions, as
we have plainly pointed out in our lit
erature, which is in the hands of every
Senator and Representative
Why should the facts in the case be
evaded in the presence of a National
programme for preparedness? The cure
for the weakness of Puget Sound rests
n the equipment of the Columbia River

From Lava Beds Along Deschutes,
SALEM, Or., April 3. (Special.)

Schultz trial may be utilized this, time
by District Attorney Evans for wit
nesses, to refute the contentions of the
defense that the state's witnesses are
all either officers or irresponsible per
sons. In the lower court Mr. Schultz
was sentenced to 90 days for selling
liquor.

Lo, the humble Graham Cracker is-about to come into its
own. For ten years or more fad foods have assailed its
sovereignty, but the best of these were unpalatable and all
were far from nutritious. Now, the humble Graham Cracker
is proclaimed King again pronounced an ideal food for ever
hungry little folks, the best food for the aged and an excellent
food for all.
The loyalty of wise and good housekeepers saved the Graham
Cracker. Even while the popularity of fad foods waxed high,
particular wives and mothers were liberal, if not lavish, buy
ers of Grahams. They knew, as thoughtful mothers always
seem to know, that no health food could ever take the place of
this wonderful cracker. Their sturdy youngsters thrived on
it. Assuredly it was the best of all foods for them.
But, Ladies, while most Graham Crackers are good,
you can never know the fresh, crisp, appetizing de
liciousness of Grahams until you have tried Swastika
Grahams. They possess a melting-, fresh-from-the-oven,
appetizing, palate-teasing goodness that
makes them absolutely incomparable.
Like all Swastika Biscuits, our Grahams are the ultimate
product of the master baker's craft. - Some day better biscuits
may be baked and when that day comes the Pacific Coast
Biscuit Company's bakeries will be baking them. "But today
Swastika Grahams are supreme. As a health food they
stand alone in Quality and first in the regard of women who
know.
So, when you buy Graham Crackers, always insist on Pacific
Coast Grahams Swastika Brand and look for our famous
trademark the Good Luck seal on a bursting sun on
both ends of the carton. The whole family will enjoy them
and they're good for all.
