U Republican, . Illinois, chairman of the house appropria tion committee; Senator Warren, Republican, Wyoming chairman of the senate appropriations com mittee, and Representative Byrnes; Democrat, Tennessee ranking minority member of the house committee. . Retrenchment Claimed Economy, and retrenchment were claimed by Representative Madden and Senator Warren and denied by Representative Byrnes. All agreed, however, that the gov ernment; faced a large deficit next year, estimated by Mr Byrnes .as promising, to reach 1900,000,000 if - soldiers' . bonus', ship' subsidy bills are passed. The Republican party had made good on its policy of a retrench ment and financial reform, said Representative Madden's state ment, while Senator Warren, ad dressing the senate late yesterday, said that the savings claimed "will be gratifying to the taxpayers of the country." Congress Fails, Cbargo Representative Byrnes' state ment declared the appropriation statistics show a lamentable fail ure on the part of the Republican congress and the administration to reduce or retrench the expendi tures of the government that the .budget bureau claimed ( "paper saYings" and that Republican "promises of yesterday were com pletely forgotten in the perform ance of today"." Estes Hearing Ends Before Supreme Court Whether George Estes, Port land attorney, shall be disbarred in Oregon now rests with the. Or egon supreme court. .

PLAN TO PAVE NORTH CAPITOL IS DISCUSSED At an interesting meeting of the Pave-Capltol-treet associa tion, at the Commercial club Wednesday night, a plan was pre sented that bids fair to solve the vexed problem of a straight road and a paved street to the north ward out of Salem. It is proposed to buy the tract of land that now bars the road at the north end of Capitol street, about acres, and subdivide it into lots. These are to be sold nnder the agreement that the purchaser win at once sign the petition asking the city council to pave the street and charge the cost to the property owners themselves. This, it is under stood the city would do, almost as quickly as the signatures could be affixed to the agreement. At the meeting last night seve ral signatures were obtained to such a property-buying agree ment, and enthusiasts for the opening of the street predict that bythe time of heir next regular meeting, on Wednesday nignt 01 next week, they wfjl have all the lots contracted for. Upon secur ing these contracts, the associa tion-, will go before the council and ask. for. the paving order, and wind up the matter -that has so aggravated the traveling public for many years. 300 Youngsters Visit Play ground New Life Guard Makes a Hit Three hundred children were at the municipal play grounds Wednesday afternoon to enjoy the games the swimming, and the va rious good things offered. The swimming pool especially was crowded to its limit. Mrs. J. Harbison told stories for the younger children for 4 5 minutes, and Miss E. White gave a second installment of their folk dances. Beginning today regular Hag raising exercises will be held at the grounds at 1;30 o'clock. The flag was given by the Commercial club. Theee o'clock will be the regular story hour, with some one in charge from the Salem Wom en's club. William East, who was for two years an assistant life guard at the Newport beaoh, has been se cured as guard for the city play ground. He was given a test Wed nesday afternoon and the way he brought a numbe r of volunteer "victims" to shore brought the ap plause of the management. He is well liked by the smaller chil dren, and is held to be a valuable addition to the park force, Di rector Fred McGrew will also be j at the grounds all the official hours from 1 till 6 o'clock, ready for call apart from his athletic in struction for the boys. A lot of old playground appar atus that had been stored in the city barns was found Wednesday by Fred Erlxon and Paul Wallace and is being installed. The hori zontal bars for the boys have been finished, and are now in use by scores of the lads. The new dam ha 8 rajped the water in the lower stream, to make it a better swim ming place. The playground does not in clude the creek west of the rail road bridge; that is beyond the committee's jurisdiction or con trol. Some swimming is done there, but it Is subject only to the common laws; and to the ac tion of the property owners.'ij Sixty-Eight Take. ( State Bar Exams At the annual bar examination, held , this Week by the supreme court of Oregon 68 candidates spent twp days of what is said to have been the severest mental gruelling ever administered in the state. They will not know just what happened for several weeks. It will take at least a month to pass, on all the papers handed In by the flock of aspirants. ?sine graduates of the Willamette Uni versity law -department were in cluded in the list of candidates.

WOMANS TRUNK Visitors in City Leave Belong ings on Porch; Wardrobe Disappears Thieves this week carried away the trunks containing the, entire wardrobe and other Dersonal properties of Mrs. Farlow and her three children, who were visiting with a friend i on Twenty-third street. As the visitors were stay ing over only the one night, the trunks were left on the porch. In the belief that they would be safe. "During the night some one carried away every piece of the baggage.' and no trace has been found. The victim is supporting herself and her family by picking logan berries, and the .loss of all their clothing Is a desperate blow, with winter coming on when there is so little employment. An appeal is made for the person who car ried tire things away to return them, or tell .Wberethey eanrbe found. A phone message tol7F 13, the R. L. Smith place, will find the rightful owner. ss.n of BERRIES IN DAY Oregon Packing Company Works Large Crew in Handling Crop Some idea of the loganberry business of Salem may be gather ed from the fact that the Oregon Packing company plant on Twelfth street toojk in 55 tons of berries Monday and exceeded even that record on Tuesday the day following.. The factory has 400 women at work in the sorting an J preparation room, and more men and boys in the canning and hand ling department than ever before in its history; more even than during the rush of the strawberry season. The berries piled up just a Ut ile faster than they could be hand led, the first of his wek. Sever al hundred crates were reshlppud to the company's Vancouver plant for canning. They go by truck in the night to give them the bene fit of the coolest part of the day The Oregon Packing company is receiving and canning a vast quantity of chenries also. The blacks are not canned, however: they are sent out to. the drier at Liberty, where'20 to 30 tons will be evaporated. This plant has been kept busy night and day with Us flood of fruit.
