PEACE PUS
Knox and Porter Resolutions
: Will Come Up This
Week
WASHINGTON. Aprtl 23. -
Plans of republican congressional
leaders for effecting peace by con
gressional resolution were com
pleted at an informal conference.
The Knox resolution to that
end. probably will be reported to
the senate Monday by the foreign
relations committee as revised, in
technical, legal details, by Sen
ator, Knox of Pennsylvania. De
bate in the senate then will bezin
Tuesday or Wednesday and will.
It la believed, be comparatively
short. There is a possibility of
a slight hitch, according to dem
ocratic senators, in delay by the
foreign relations committee.
. As a matter of general party
policy, most of the senate demo
crats are expected to oppose the
Knot resolution, but republican
leaders expect a number ot dem
ocratic YOes.
A ' peace resolution similar to
the Knox measure is to be intro
duced in the house Monday by
Chairman Porter of the foreign
affairs committee. Republican
leaders, however, were said today
to have agreed that the senate
resolution would be awaited be
fore any action should be taken
In the bouse.

FORTUNE SMILES ON
WILLAMETTE VALLEY
New York, Michigan, Mis

Other States Losers
I " th project of a fine crop o
fruits and berries in the Willam-S
ette valle. conditions appear td
he iuxt the opposite in the, middle
western -states, and the east, in
eluding the New England states,
accord ins to special wire advices
received by the Oregon Growers'
Co-operative association.
A telegram was received yester
day from New York from an au
thority on fruit as follows:
"Damage to blossoms; Cherries
80 per cent r sour cherries; 50 per
cent; peaches 10 per cent; plums
20 per cent; early apples 20 to 401
per cent; late apples 10 to 20 per
cent; pears 30' to 40 per cent. Ex
pect or.ly 60 per cent crop of ap
ples. 70. per cent of pears,' 5-0 per
cent of cherries, and a normal
peach crop. Too early for accu
rate estimate of damage to crop
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but
thought to be 50 per cent. Dam-a
oge to crop in New England states,
Fame as New York."
Michigan Hard Hit.
From Michigan the association
received the following special
wire:
"Reports from frui sections in
dicate probable losses of fruits as
lOllows: Southwestern Michigan
suffered most severe losses, grape
loss there being $0 per cent- er
more. Peach loss is 8 5 per cent,
cherry loss 25 per cent, pears 25
Eer cent. Early varieties of plums
11 gone in Michigan. Early ap
ples severely injured, late varie
t es slightly. Little left of small
fruit. In northern Michigan slight
injury to apples and cherries."
The Atlantic states have also
been hit hard by the cold weather.
From New Jersey the association
rereived the following 6peclal re
port: "Frost damage? in New Jersey
varies from 10 to 100 per cent on
apples. Greatest damage on early
varieties. Estimate ."0 per cent
reduction In total apple crop, 90
per cent reduction in peach crop.
95 per cent loss on cherries and
85 per cent loss on pears. Reports
from other Atlantic seaboard
states Indicate even more serious
damage south of New Jersey and
less damage north."
MiHHouri Sends Report.
From Missouri the Oregon
Growers' Co-operative association
received the following night etter:
"Commercially speaking, peach
and pear crop of Missouri destroy
ed by freeze. Plums and cherries
injured. Damage to apples varies
greatly with locality. Injury more
serious in southern Missouri. Some
orchards in southern part of state
damage total loss. Dutches. Mis
souri Pippin and Ben Ifcivis show
greatest loss."
From another authoritative
source In Michigan, the associa
tion received the following tele
gram: , .
"We had four inches of snow on
Apr;! 17. Telegraph wires were
half inch thick with ice. Trees
all out in bloom except apples.
This cleans up everything Except
apples in this state. All peaches,
cherries and small fruit in New
York gone."
From Hagarstown. Md.. the as
sociation has received word there
was hardly enough apple crop in
that state to justify the expense
of spraying and that the disaster
to fruit of all kinds due to the
freeze was the worst In years.
Apple OO Per Cent.
The great apple district of
northwestern Arkansas suffered
more than other apple centers.
From Bentonville. Ark., the center
of this apple district comes word
that there was a loss of 90 per
cent of the apple crop. Late va
rieties of apples are all soneln
that section. So severe was the
damage to fruits In Arkansas,. that
very few apple growers will con
tinue the spray this season.
In cantrast to these unfortunate
fruit condition in the midlle west
ern and far eastern states is the
fact that injthe Willamette valley
fruit prospects at present are bet
ter than they have bf en for years,
dre largely to the invigorated con
dition of trees on account of the
excessive moisture of the past win
ter and the recovery from the win
ter injury of December, 1919.

VOTERS FAIL TO
More Than 4000 Names
Removed For Failure to
Comply With Law
The work , of registering voters
Is very quiet In view of the near
ness to the coming election, ac
cording to information from U. G.
Briyer, -county clerk. Very few
registrations are being made, in
dicating a lack of interest.
In the past new residents of the
state have taken an active inter
est in Btate matters and were reg
istered as soon as they had lived
here the required length of time
to become a legal voter which is
siv months.
The law requires the county
clerk to remove every biennium
from t ho rprialmlinn fllon nil
Tthose who' failed to vote once fri
the two year period. This re
quired the removal ot over 4000
registration cards, the names on
which will not appear onfithe poll
books at the coming election June
T, unless they register with the
county clerk or with the different
registrars throughout the county
on or before May 7.
The apparent tardiness In regis
tration might possibly be due to
people not moving around as much
as usual. To date there have been
only 250 registrations. The law
requires persons who have moved
into a new precinct or failed to
vote In a two-year period or a wo
man who marries to register
again.
The registration closes on May
7 or 30 days before the special
election to he held on June 7.
Senate Military Committee
Approves Nominations
Of Officers
WASHINGTON'. April 23. De
spite some democratic objection
to Urigadier General Clarence R,
Edwards, the senate military
committee today voted to recom
mend confirmation of the 12 maj
or and 14 brigadier generals le
cently nominated by President
Harding for promotion.
General Edwards, who com
manded the Twenty-Sixth, New
England division, overseas until
relieved by General Pershing and
returned home, was the only
nominee on the list under fire.
The committee vote on his name
today was reported to have been
12 to 3. Those said to have op
posed General Edwards include I
Senators Hitchcock. Nebraska and
McKcllar, Tennessee. Senators
Robinson of Ankansas and Myers
of Montana, democrats, were re
ported to have Joined the repub
lican committee members in tup
porting him.
Democratic opponents of Gen
eral Edwards whose name leaded
the list for major general, inti
mated they would carry tlu-ir
fight to the senate floor. Ko
filibuster sit was said. vouM be
waged. Bat a record vote-at ka.t.
it was declared-, would be deman
ded. Republicans predicted that
the entire list of general officers
would be ratified, thereby paving
the way for many other promo
tions down through the whole
service and for selection of a chif
of staff.
Members of the senate express
ed the belief that General Ed
wards would not be chosen chief
of staff, after today's meeting at
which Secretary Weeks was called
in again for further discussion of
General Edward's record. Major
General Harbord, according to op
inion of prominent republicans

To The Editor:
The undersigned has
vicinity to discredit the excellent work of the law enforcement officers of the federal
government, of the state of Oregon, of the Anti-Saloon league of Oregon, and other
good citizens in breaking up the rxot legging clique that has teen operating in Mar
ion county. and vicinity with impunity and unhindefed for some months. 4
And I am not the only person watching these efforts, and myself' and .others

desire to say rfeht here that if the bootlegger and' his ilk and defender wan! a

the better element in this community is thoroughly Organized and proposes to! go
to the limit of the law in securing more wholesome ; conditions and in writing the
doom of illicit use of liquors, gambling and the selling of cigarettes to minors.
We have more than 40 organizations banded together for this purpose and repre
sent thousands of persons in our county and propose to back, ouf county court and
faithful and courageous officials of our government, state, county and city to the full

most unreservedly the very satisfactory work already accomplished. Truly yours, . .
. RONALD C. GLOVER,
Chairman Steering Committee.
The foul murder of Simon
J. Yoder, Woodburn garage
operator, a few weeks ago,
was the climax that caused
the Marion county court to
enter into a contract with law
enforcement officers of the
Anti-Saloon league to assist
local officers in the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws.
In the opinion of the people
of the Gervais and Woodburn
vicinities there is no doubt
that Yoder was boldly slain
by moonshiners or other deal
ers in the illicit liquor traffic
whose bidding he refused to
do when lured away from
Woodburn at midnight- by a
pretext.
This is the assertion of
County Judge W. M. Bushey,
who says that much more is
known about the Yoder mur
der than has ever reached the ,
newspapers.
Judge Bushey spoke yester
day in justification of the
court's action and in defense
against an attack on the court
and the operatives by the Cap
ital Journal in an effort to dis
credit the law enforcement
program which has as its pur
pose the defeat of "wide open"
prostitution of the laws which
the booze dealers and their
friends hope to thrust upon
the community. Judge Bush
ey concedes, as do most citi
zens, that it is better to leave
enforcement of the laws in the
hands of the regular local of
ficers, but the judge explains
that the time came when it
was necessary to bring in helo
and the court acted accord
ingly. "It costs some money,"
said Judge Bushey, "but the
court is willing to spend the
public funds for law enforce
ment if It is necessary. It
will cost more of the public
money if the law is not en
forced. The county is out a
lot of money in the Yoder case
in sendine officers over Ore
gon and Washington, and the
county will be out a lot more
monev if this illicit liquor
traffic is not stopped. Sortie
of the citizens of this commu
nity are spending their good
monev now in sanitariums
outside the state where they
have gone with ruined health
from drinking moonshine.
Some, I understand, have al
most lost their eyesight as a

result I don't think the av
erage citizen will censure the
court for the money paid out
to the agents of the law." ;
Judge Bushey deplores the
light penalties imposed on the
offenders.
"Some of them have been
fined $125 each," he said. "If
a man kills a deer out of sea
son he is fined $250 or $500,
and a violation of the prohibi
tion law as we have it here is
an offense three times as bad.
"Many people had been im
ploring the court to get help
to enforce the law. We, held
off. Then came the Oder mur
der and we decided it was time
to act. Unless the people of the
community take thi3 matter
up the liquor traffic will be

MESSAGE TELLS OF SERIOUS
ACCIDENT NEAR CITY. GIRL HURT
A radio message received last
night by Clive Scott of Salem
from Herb Welch of Keizer bot
tom, told of the collision of an
automobile with a farm wagon
in which Miss Rita Austin was
severely injured, others less seri
ously hurt, the wagon and auto
mobile demolished and a team of
horses knocked down in the road.
Inquiry by telephone broufiht fur

Miss Austin is in the Deaconess
hospital with injuries about the
face and chest and other bruises.
A heavy automobile owned by
Lafo Townsend of Mission bot

was traveling to Salem. In the
car were Paul -Townwnd, Glenn
Townsend, Frank Coulter. Harry

the best results. Ifr morfr fo
calofficers are needed all the
people have to do is ask for
them.- If the people want the
law enforced it is up to them."11
Explaining why the con
tract entered into with the
Anti-Saloon league operatives
was not placed on the public
record, J udge Bushey said the
utmost secrecy was necessary.
It seems there is a spy in the
community. r , - ' , ; .
"Someone on the inside "
said he judge, "has been tip -ping
off the moonshiners td
all information he could get;
I don't know who he Is, but
he is not an official. And I
do not refer to the Journal's
allegation that officers of the ;
