MOORE TRIAL HURRIED ALLEGED GO-BETWEEN IN DUNN MURDER PLOT FRANTIC. St. Paul Bartender Takes Over Cross. Examination of Witnesses Reden bausb. Completes Testimony. ST. PAUL, Minn., June 8. The fate of Mike Moore, bartender and alleged go-between in the Alyce McQuillan Dunn murder plot, probably will be in the hands of the Jury tomorrow. The state finished its case late to day. It is thought probable Moore him self will be the only witness called for the defense. At today's hearing Moore frequently interrupted the ex amination of witnesses by bursting into a frenzied tirade in which, he shouted that he was "Jesse James, and the divine representative 'of God on earth." He took over the cross-examination of witnesses himself and conducted it for nearly an hour. William Hickey, alleged yeggman testified that Moore attempted to hire him to slay Mrs. Dunn, but that he backed out when he found the victim was a woman. Joseph Redenbaugh, now serving a sentence in state prison for the murder of Patrolman George Connery in Minneapolis the day be fore the Dunn murder, today completed his testimony, in which he said that Moore hired him to kill Mrs. Dunn. of the smallest but most densely popu lated of the republics of Central America. Previous Quakes Deadly. More than 200 persons have lost their lives in San Salvador in the last two years as the result of earthquakes. The city, which was founded about 1525, Is located about 120 miles south east of the town of Guatemala, and is on a small stream which flows Into the Pacific Ocean. The city is connected by rail with Acajutla and La Lib ertad, and contains a large university, the National palace, the National li brary and astronomical observatory, and a botanical garden. The popula tion of the capital is 64.000. WASHINGTON, June 8. Dispatches from American Minister Long at San Salvador sent at o'clock last night while the volcano of San Salvador was erupting, said part of the city had been destroyed by fire, but that it was under control. Great damage was done. The dispatch said .that about 6:35 P. M. yesterday severe earth shocks began and continued until about 8:45 with varying degrees of Intensity. At about 8:4a the volcano of San Salvador began to belch forth fire and smoke apparently on the side toward Vtuezaitepeque. mere was later one very severe shock, but the tremors of the earth continued with decreasing violence. At the same time there was a steady shower of dry ashes falling over the city. The report says damage to the Amer ican Legation building will render it uninhabitable, but that all records are safe. It adds that all other city prop erty appeared practically untenable. One important central business section had been destroyed by fire, which, at the time of telegraphing, seemed to be under control. No deaths were reported in the Minister's dispatch as being known at that hour. It is quite pos sible that either volcanic eruption, fire or earthquake might have wrought greater damage after the sending of his dispatch. SALVADOR, REPORTS 'Alili WELL.' Hope Is Held Out Tbat Loss of Life Will Be Small. NEW YORK June 8. A cable mes sage dated San Salvador and reading "All wen," was received tonight by Bloom uros.. omclal agents in the United States for the republic of San Salvador, from ' David Bloom & Co., of the Banco Occidental, at San Salvador. No details of the disaster were given. but Benjamin Bloom, head of the New York House, said that David Bloom lived In the city of San Salvador and because of this fact he was hopeful that there had not been large loss of life. SAN SALVADOR DESTROYED w CContinued From First Paice.) of Quezaltipeque, Nejapa, Suchichoto, Palsnai, Armenios and Mejicanos also were destroyed. Mejicanos was a sub urb of San Salvador. An operator who reached the edge of the destroyed zone today reported that San Salvador was in ruins and that everything within a radius of 30 miles had been destroyed by the earth quake. The ' town of Santa Teola also has been destroyed, . according to this re port. Volcano Believed Ci Residents of San Salvador are camp ing in the streets and parks. At the time the report was sent rain had been falling heavily for five hours, San Salvador Is about three- miles southeast of the volcano of . -n Sal vador and la the seat of government Oats and Barley Expected to Be Third Largest Crops Ever Har vested in America Corn Crop Is Heavy. WASHINGTON. June 8. America's 1917 wheat crop, as forecast today by the Department of Agriculture, will fall far below normal, despite a pros pect for a more than ordinary yield of Spring wheat. A total yield estimated at 656.000.000 bushels will give the country 16,000.000 bushels more than last year's crop, but with the heavy demands from abroad and virtually no reserve store. It will not meet war needs unless the country practices the most rigid economy. The department forecast a Spring crop of 283,000.000 bushels, a big yield, but estimates of Winter wheat produc tion will give a crop of only 373.000,000 bushels, 7.000,000 more than was fore cast from the May 1 condition, but still far from the normal yield. Allies Need Billion Bushels. Herbert C. Hoover, who will be food administrator under the food control bill pending In Congress, estimates the allies' needs this year at 1.000.000,000 bushels of grain, most of it to come from the United States and Canada. The short wheat crop means this country will have to cut Its wheat consumption If it exports any wheat, since the United States Itself normally uses more than 600,000,000 bushels. At the be ginning of 1916 there were 164,000,000 bushels on hand carried over from the previous year's record crop. some relief Is seen in the better showing this year in the forecasts of rye, which will be a record crop, oats and barley. A large corn crop also Is expected. Winter wheat last Fall was planted on one of the largest acreages ever re corded, but severe Winter conditions caused almost one-third of the area to be abandoned. The crop came through the Winter In poor condition and the April forecast was only 430.000,000 bushels. May's forecast showed a re duction of 64,000,000 bushels. Today's forecast, based on June 1 conditions, showed improvement of 7,000,000 bush els over May, with a total of 373,000,000 bushels. The final out-turn mav be above or below that figure. Spring: Wheat Short. Spring wheat, the June report shows. was planted on an area almost as large as that of 1915, when a record crop of 352.000.000 bushels was grown. The condition of that crop on June 1 was almost two points below the ten-year average, indicating a production of only Z83,uuu,uuu Dushels. With favorable growing conditions, the production may reach greater proportions by harvest time. The late Spring prevented farmers from putting as much land in Spring wheat as had been expected and the cold weather has prevented germina tion to a certain extent. Indications are for a crop of oats third in size in the country's history. and for a crop of rye exceedinar the record by 4,000.000 bushels. Barley also will be a heavy crop, probably third In size in history. THE DALLES VOTES JUNE 18 City and School Election Will Be Held Jointly. THE DALLES, Or.. June 8.

NEED LAID TO GROWERS IMPROPER HOUSING BLAMED FOR SHORTAGE OF LABOR. Strawberry Crop In Hood River to Be Harvested If Pickers Are Com fortable, Is Opinion. HOOD RIVER, Or.. June 8. (Spe cial.) Hero to assist the Hood River strawberry growers in obtaining hun dreds of laborers needed in the harvest of the 100-carload strawberry crop of the season, R. P. Bonham and N. F. Johnson, respectively inspector in charge of the Portland office of the Cnited States Immigration Bureau and manager of the bureau's public em ployment agency, declare that the fail ure of growers to obtain the suffi cient number of pickers to save their crops will be due almost entirely to a lack of preparation for taking care of the transient help. Mr. , Bonham says that all growers who at present have comfortable camps for their berry pickers are going to have no trouble in filling their fields with pickers. Mrs. C. A. Bell, appointed by Mrs. Charles C. Castner. president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, to Investigate the premises of ranchers who make application for members of the army of mobile labor ers enlisted by the Oregon Agricul tural College, says she will not rec ommend any application coming from a berry grower who has made no prep aration to care for his harvest hands. 4 GIRLS WIN DIPLOMAS Gillespie School of Expression Holds Commencement.
