THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1921 E BURDEN DEM1DED OF ROADS Economic Load Held Too .. Great for Farmers. LOWER RATES REQUESTED High Freight Has Stopped Pro duction, Secretary Wallace Tells Interstate Body. WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. IS. Railroads must share with the farm ers and others the burden of the present economic situation by reduc ing freight rates. Saretary Wallace aid today before th Interstate com Tnerce commission, which Is Investi gating rates on grain and hay. High freight . rates, hav.e. stopped production, the secretary said, add ing that If the. present siiua.ti.on .cou- i tinued production from the farms j would be reduoed materially i "We cannot afford to let our agri eulture be destroyed.", he .declared. In attempting to relieve the dis tress of the farmers we are dealing with great economic forcea. All our people ought to share the burden of the present depression." Farmer's Load , Held Too Bla;. The farmer was now bearing more than his share of the economic load, tie said, because the purchasing rower of farm products was below the average of other commodities. He presented figures to show that In Iowa the purchasing power of oats was 43 per cent of what It was from 1909 to 1914. Reduction In freight rates on the commodities under Investigation, specially on hay, the secretary said, would be reflected In a larger vol ume of traffic and therefore In greater revenues for the railroads. The prosperity of the railroads, he added, depended In a large measure upon the prosperity of the farmers. KorelKjn Wheat Cbtir. Many young farmers purchasing land at high prices during times of abnormal prices were foreclosed when the depression came, the witness pointed out. causing a situation which should be a' matter of public concern because of reduced produc tion. In reply to questions by attorneys . for the railroads, the secretary said that wheat from Argentina could be laid down . at Atlantic ports and in foreign . ports at less than the price American-raised -wheat must bring under present conditions. Traffic Ioaa Threatened. C. S. .Ross, secretary of the Idaho Farm Bureau federation, testified that railroads were threatened with frreat loss of traffic as a result of farmers In that state turning to pro ducing dairy cattle. Forty acres of land, he said, would produce 6000 pounds of dairy products as freight for the 'railroads, as against 80,000 pounds of wheat. Leonard Wray, rate expert for the Idaho railroad commissian, declared that emergency rates recently put Into effect by railroads had resulted In a great, increase in the movement . or nav. ins lenaea 10 prove, ne sal a. that reduced rates would increase the volume of traffic for the carriers. plans, said Mr. Neuner, he would have met the unidentified woman in Canada and they would have sailed for Aus tralia or some other distant port.

The dentist passed through Salem tonight on the Shasta Limited, accom panied by Sheriff Starmer and Deputy Sheriff Webb. They occupied a state room and no one was allowed to see the prisoner here. It was proposed to alight from the train at Edenbower, a small station two miles north of Rse burg, and take the prisoner to the Jail in an automobile. It was District Attorney Neuner's opinion that nearly a week would be required to present the case to the grand Jury. In case an indictment is returned he said the trial should get under way by September 15.- Any at tempt on the part of the defense law yers to obtain a change of venue will be contested by the district attorney. 'District Attorney Neuner satd Dr. Brumfleld would not be allowed to receive callers at the Jail, with the exception of his wife, children and attorneys. This, the district attorney said, was in line with the physician's orders to the effect that the dentist should remain, quiet and not be disturbed. .SCHOOL DIRECTORS DISCUSS ECOWDMY Board, However, Stands by Teacher Wage Increase.

NOT GUILTY TP BE PLEA AULEGED SLAYER OF FKIEST TO EXPEDITE CASE. Estimates by Superintendent of Properties Are Made Sub ject of Investigation. TIBER DEAL HANGS FIRE PROPOSER. .SALE MAY REST WITH U'XiTED RAIIAVATS. Action, of Road Officials Is L-ikely to Influence Greatly Closing of $7,O00,0'0O Purchase. Final details in closing the $7,000, 000 timber deal, in which 27,000 acres owned by David C. Eccles of Salt Lake City goes to the Central Coal & Coke company of Kansas City, is said to rest with the United Railways, which concern owns 20 miles of track that connects up with the logging railroad at Burlington. It was the railroad and not the. timber that made Charles Keith of the Kansas City company hesitate in closing the. deal. Itwas said that efforts were made to have one of the large companies take over the United Railways track under lease; and also the 31 miles of track lead ing to the timber. This failed. The timber property, acknowledged to be the best tract of yellow fir in the country, is in Washington, Co lumbia. Clatsop and Tillamook coun ties. It will cruise an average of 100. 000 feet to the acre. The property was- sold to Eccles by the Duboise Lumber company of Pennsylvania for 3.600.M)0 in 1917. At that time there was an outright transfer of $1,000,000 in cash, and M,r. Eccles gave a ten-year note for $2,600,000 with the rate of interest Tixed at 4 per cent. A portion of the railroad from Burlington to the tract was completed at a1 cost " ap proximating $70,000 per mile. Lumbermen .who know the tract Involved said that even were the 31 miles of valuable railroad not con sidered. Mr. Keith would be . mak ing a purchase that would net a big profit at $7,000,000. Timber Is held at-$4 per thousand in the trees to day. At such a rate the timber on the tract has a commercial value of more thn . $9,000,000 as it stands Mr. Keith and his associates are not loggers, but lumber merchants.

Economy formed the motive for long discussions touching teachers' salaries, plumbing1 and heating bids and g-eneral school expenses at the school board! meeting last night. The board decided' not to rescind a previous motion which authorized an increase in pay of $100 a year to each elementary teacher having a bach elor's degree and to each high school teacher having a master's degree. - Bids for heating and plumbing at the Marjsvllle school brought forth argument between board members and heatinlr and plumbing men of the city, who waited upon the board in a large delegation, last night. Investigation is Asked. Estimates made by Captain George Edmorodstone, superintendent of prop erties for the schools, were found to be several thousand dollars under that of outside bidders, who asked that an investigation be made into Captain Edmondstone's figures. On the heating for the school, the superintendent's bid was $2394 less than that of- the lowest bidder of the heating men. On the plumbing his estimate was $1765 less than the low est bidder, his bid being- $4752, as opposed to $6617. Board . Hears Opinions. The board members listened for an hour and a half to the opinions of the steam fitters and plumbers, who suggested that their overhead ex penses had not been given full con sideration. Many instances of 'cases in which plumbers had "gone to the wall" in the last few years were cited and stress placed upon the fact that some jobs had been done for the school board by firms at a loss. The plumbers and heating men ob jected also to the board's competing with them in a business in which we have spent our lives,'" as one man expressed, it. The school directors pointed out tHat they were trying to serve the best interests of the taxpayers and save the -district money if possible. Arbitration la Decided.. The .board finally decided to sub mit the question of the justice of the bid3 to an arbitration committee of three members, one to be chosen by Captain Edmondstone, another by the neating-and plumbing men, these two to choose the third member. W. F. Woodward, a director, called attention to the fact that Captain Edmondstone had saved the., tax payers more than $5000 on the con struction of portables. All directors expressed confidence in the estimate of their superintendent. Captain Ed mondstone figured 10 per cent for overhead expenses in his estimate and nothing for profits, since the board aims -to save .and not make money by doing this sort of work. 300O Savins Proposed. Rescinding' of the action granting $100 a ypar increase to teachers for degrees at . Institutions of higher learning was suggested by the com mittee on education, in order to save the district about $3000. "It was my suggestion, last Decern ber that this $100 a. year be granted in order to encourage -teachers to- get higher degrees, ' said Frank L. Shutl director, "but I feel now that.

Patrick Heslin. Colma priest, will' enter a plea of not guilty and will not take the stand in his own defense, when brought up for preliminary examination, he is quoted as saying, and he is said 'to have waived his legal right to delay proceedings and expressed a willing ness to have his case expedited. The district attorney plans, it . is said, to combine Hightower's arraignment and preliminary examination. Hightower continues to' manifest deep interest, in Doris Shirley, his for mer companion, who has been ques tioned, by District Attorney Swart of San Maeto, in connection with the case. ; The prisoner has not been told that the woman, who on Saturday married Lee Putnam, Oakland cafe entertainer, and has since remained within call of the district attorney. contradicted the story he told the police regardinc his movements on he night Rev. Mr. Heslin disappeared. Constable Landinl of Colma today used bloodhounds on the beach near the spot where the priest's body was discovered in an effort to prove his theory that an accomplice in the priest s murder had been slain and his body buried in the sands. he has done since his arrest last week at Calgary. IN ECXER MEETS SALEM CHIEF Possibility of Woman In Brumfield Case Is Discussed. SALEM, Or.. Aug. 18. (Special.) District Attorney Neuner of Douglas county stopped oir In Salem tonight. -n route to his home in Roseburg irom foruanq. ie passed more than n hour conferring with Verden Mof fitt. chief of police, with relation to a report that a woman suspected of be ing intimate with Dr. R. M. Brumf ield. alleged slayer of Dennis Russell, had! passed several weeks in this city prior to the murder. At the conclusion of the conference neither District Attorney Neuner nor Chief Moffitt would give out any in formation. Mr. Neuner said there was no doubt in his mind but that there is a woman In the case. This, he said, was partly subtantiated by the fact that a wom an, whose identity has not yet been established, purchased at the Burchard store In Roseburg the skirt that was afterwards found In the package shipped by Dr. Brumfield from Myrtle Creek to Seattle. At the time the woman bought the skirt Dr. Brumfield entered the Burchard store and the two smiled at each other. Tho district attorney said the of ficers had a good description of the woman, but as yet they had been un able to determine whether she had registered at a Roseburg hotel. The officers working on the case believe, District Attorney Neuner said, that she passed only a short time in Rose burg, but was to have met the dentist later at some Canadian city. Neither the district attorney nor the sheriff believed she had any knowledge of the impending murder, but hktd merely agreed to accompany Dr. Brumfield to Australia or some other foreign country. From statements made here tonight by Mr. Neuner the state probably will advance the theory that Dr. Brumfield was laboring under a severe financial strain and deliberately planned to de sert his family and leave the country. To bring this about, the prosecution will contend, he killed Russell and later attempted to destroy the body as . his own under his wrecked automo- ' bile. Had his plans worked out Mrs. , Brumfield would then have obtained insurance sufficient to care for herself " and the children, while Dr. Brumfield would have left Roseburg unobserved.

Moral Rffetrt Discussed. "If we should decide not to grant the $100 which we had promised." such' action would be taken as a revocation of that which the teachers have count ed on," said Director Woodward. think the moral effect would be worse than'the slight saving of money."

He urged that it be restricted to apply only to teachers who are graduates of accredited colleges on, the list of the North Central Associa tion of Colleges and the Northwest Association of Colleges. Since the original resolution did not carry this distinction, it was decided to defer any such change until next year.

MAN FELT ASHAMED TO REMOVE HIS HAT Embarrassedin Company by Condition of Hair and Scalp. Hair-Bitters Restores "Perfect Condition." t "It was very embarrassing for me to take my hat off la company," states Dan Raymer, a prominent mer chandise broker of Lincoln, Nebras ka, telling of the condition of his scalp a short time ago. "I believe I have used everything on earth but -with no results until I got Berl ault's Hair-Bitters. It sure did clean me up in perfect condition. I can truthfully say I haven't got the slighest sign of eczema or dandruff." Mr. Raymer, who was on a visit to Seattle when a friend induced him to try this marvelous remedy, says be cannot praise It too highly. His experience is similar to that of hun dreds who have used Hair-Bitters in their homes, had it applied by their barber or hair dresser, or have been treated in the free clinio con ducted by the manufacturers.
