he added, "an investigation by
the department of war time tran
sactions has been going on as rap
idly as possible with the funds
congress has provided and the
use of other funds that could
legitimately be used for the pur
pose. "The department never will al
low, nor has it allowed politics to
Interfere with its work. It is as
much the duty of the department
to protect the innocent as it is to
prosecute those who are guilty. Xo
person will be indicted unless we
feel he is guilty and feel there is
reasonable assurance he will be
convicted.
"The day of th9 demagogue is
passed. , It is a serious thing to
charge that a man has been dis
honest in dealing with his gov
ernment and we propose to be con
servative "and in no sense handle
this matter from a political stand
point. "We will give the committee
any information that will not be
injurious to the government or to
the business at hand."
The president's budget commu
nication to the house explained
that the 1500,000 fund was need
ed, because of the lnadequcy of
present appropriations and Was
accompanied by a request that it
be made available immediately.
Mr. McCulloch accepted his ap
pointment late today, the attorney
general said.
Mr. McCulloch was a member
of the house committee in tho
last congress which Investigated
the conduct of the war and de
voted most of his attention to
camp contracts.

Although Bessie Harvey, billed
on the boardings, y'know, as the
"diva of the white tops" and "the
primma donna of spangleland" 's
way up In her chair howdah atop
her lavishly decorated elephant,
she doesn't have to climb there to
reach her high notes. Not at all
She trills sweetly her high C'a
wherever she may be in the new
four times larger big: top of the
Al G. Barnes Wild Animal circus,
coming to Salem Saturday, May
6, for she is one of tha six sens
bird principals in the beautiful
1922 edition of "Alice in Jungle
land," the gorgeous lyrical fairy
land fantasy with which Al G.
Barnes Inaugurates his perform
ances this year. With 1080 peo
ple singing, dancing- and march
ing m this truly stupendous pas
eant, to say nothin? of the roles
enacted by 1200 wild animals, .the
appeal of this new famous adapta
tion of Lewis Carroll's world read
bpok should register 100 p.ir cent
with every sort of 'critic, profes
sional and lay. As a matter of
fact, "Alice in Jungleland" has
revolutionized circus business,
with every competitor wallowing
about in a sort of bolshevlc chaos,
so far as imitation of the produc
tion is concerned.
In the great Al Q. Barnes main
tent, this year, a . new orchestra
chair gTandstand, seating thous-'
ands, a cooling system of electric
fans and a seating capacity of 11,
000 will add to patrons' pleasure
on circus day.
lime in carload lots of 30 tons or
more on the Southern Pacific
lines in Oregon are: Woodburn,
10 cents; Salem, 10 cents; Albany
9 cents; Eugene cents; Cottage
Grove 1 1-2 cents; Sllverton 10
cents; Lebanon 9 cents; Browns
ville 8 1-2 , cents; Hillsboro 11
cents; Newberg 10 1-2 cents and
Willamina 10 1-2 cents. These
rates are effective until October
31, 1922, and represent a reduc
tion of 50 cents a ton from the
rates established August 20, 1920.
O. K. May Make Rate
The board has taken up the
question of freight schedules with
the Oregon Electric company, and
it is hoped that rates may be ob
tained which, may correspond fav
orably with those to be in effect
on Southern Pacific lines.
Lime will cost farmers tour
dollars a ton on board the car at
Gold Hill. By pooling orders from
communities to maqe up carload
lots a reasonable price Is assured.
Reminiscences of Grant
Are Told by Ellsworth
William Webster Ellsworth, for
40 years with the Century Pub
lishing company, was a speaker at
the Willamette university chapel
Monday. He devoted the period to
an Intimate talk about General
Grant and Mark Twain. His remi
niscences of the few times that
he met General Grant introduced
the listeners to a new ftihase of
the life of the hero. Mr. Ellsy
worth told of how his company
had planned , to publish Grant's
"Memoirs," but a very clever man
stepped in and took the contract
away from them. .This man was
the famous Mark Twain. This ven
ture of Mark Twain was success
ful because he stuck the country
at the right time and the general
was able to leave over $5,000,000.

Forty-Six Falls City Resid
ents Send Petition to
President Harding
Forty-six residents of Falls
City have signed and sent to Pres
ident. Harding a petition requit
ing him to pardon from the Ore
gon penitentiary, where she la
hel das a federal prisoner, Mrs.
Alma Louise Wurubarger, wjio
killed her husband last September
at Chemawa. v - - ;
The petition alleges that when
Wnrtibairger lived at Falls City he
was brutal to his wife and was
dishonest and Immoral. The pe
tition adds that "from trustwor
thy reports we believe Mrs. Alma
L. Wurtxbarger suffered mental
and physical tortures and was con
sumed by fear and that she was
driven to defend her own life and
that of her children by killing
him," also that "Mrs. Wurtibar
ger is an entire stranger to us.
but we feel that there has been a
aad miscarriage of justice and that
the president would be performing
a 'humane act to an unfortunate
woman by extending executive
clemency." She was given a 10
year sentence. '

signing the letter were:
