Freak Accident Occurs When
Ford Crashes Into Rail

Police make a record of luky
accident number 333,4.'G.
An "almost serious" miHhap oc
curred on the mill bridge lfcated
on north Church street in the 700
block last night about 9:15. Two
men, according to witnesses, were
driving north across the bridge
when they skidded and crashed
into the wooden railing on the
left Bide. Tbe stream at this
point is about 10 feet deep. Or
dinarily a wet bath and submerg
ed car would have resulted. But
it was a Ford. The front wheels,
hood and axle crashed through
the railing and hung perilously
close over the water. But tho
railing held and prevented the
light car from trying a high dive.
The names of the men were not
learned. According to police
records the car is registered in
the name of M. C. Pettys, route 1.

COTTAGE GROVE. Ore., Nov.
28 (Special to the Statesman)
A Bulck sport model roadster
bearing license number 115982
and owned by the Drager. Fruit
company of Salem . skidded over
the bank on the Pacific highway
two miles north of this city Tues
day morning about 10 o'clock,
turning completely around and
landing upside down in the ditch
beside the road without injury to
any of the three occupants.
The car was driven by Fred
Drager of Salem, accompanied by
his wife and son. The Dragers
were on their way from Roseburg
to Salem.
Mrs. Drager had a slight cut
above her right eye and the boy
a small cut on one finger, while
the car has a badly smashed top,
broken windshield and broken
radiator cap. The Dragers caught
the next train north at Saginaw
and their car is here in Nelson's
garage being put in repairs.
Eye-witnesses to the accident
said that the Salem car, traveling
not more than 25 miles an hour.
was following the Cottage Grove-
Eugene stage north when the
stage stopped to let some passen
gers off at Saginaw. The driver
of the roadster threw on the
brakes suddenly to avoid running
into the stage and to avert a col
lision with a team coming from
the north. In doing so the sud
den force caused the roadster to
turn across the highway and skid
into the ditch on the east side of
the road. In going over the em
bankment it turned around facing
the south and landed with all four
wheels in the air and the occu
pants pinned underneath. They
were extricated from the wreck
and the car righted by bystanders.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 30. (By the Associated Press)
At least four persons were killed and a dozjn injured tonight
when the police used machine guns against a band of demon
strators who attempted to invade the city hall in pro
test against the alleged negligence of the aldermen in con
nection with the water famine in the city.
Two machine gun volleys were fired by the police the
first over the heads of the crowd and the last into it.
The demonstrators, numbering several thousand, first
stormed the municipal building, then attempted to break in
the doors ; whereupon the police fired several volley3, dispers
ing them. The fire department , as usual, aided the police.
All of the stores in the neighborhood of the city hall
were closed thi3 afternoon in anticipation of the demonstra
tions. The newspapers are continuing their attacks on the
aldermen and demanding their resignations.

Two Reels of Comedy Film
and Hickman-Bessey
Drama Presented
One might almost rejoice to be
in the penitentiary, under a good
rainproof roof and with a Thanks
giving dinner and a drama and a
moving picture show, on such a
day as yesterday. The 470 in
mates certainly had things
brought to them in an easy-to-en-
joy manner.
Frank Bligh took out two reels
of comedy film, and the Hickman-
Bessey players who have been at
the Bligh part of this week.
They put on "Tbe Girl of the Fly
ing X," a western comedy that
made a tremendous hit with the
audience. The players them
selves are: Guy Hickman, Jack
Bessey, Chancey Southern, Vir
ginia Stanton, Nea Hughes and
Bert Hughes, with Helen Root as
pianist. They have a grand
piano at the auditorium, and they
have real music there.
Following the show, which was
staged in the forenoon, the
guests stayed for dinner with the
prison officials.
The orchestra of eight pieces
played during the dinner, as good
an orchestra as anybody wants to
hear.
The Bligh is already looking
for a good comedy film to present
for the Christmas holiday.

MH
PROGRAM FOR
FARMER'S AID
IS COMPLETE
Conference Composed of
Harding, Secretary and
18 Senators to Give Plan
to Congress.
IS CONSOLIDATION
OF NUMEROUS PLANS
Would Utilize Farm Loan
Board More Liberal
Credits Proposed
WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. (By
the Associated Press) The new
administration program for imme
diate financial relief to farmers
was formulated and practically
perfected today at a conference
between President Harding, Sec
retary Wallace and IS Republican
senators headed by Senator Wat
won of Indinaa. It will be put
before congress at once and
pressed with the full force of the
administration. Broadly the
plans bring together in one ad
ministration measure the approv
ed portions of various relief
measures already pending in con
gress and contain also provisions
to make the intended relief avail
able to the small farmer as well
as to the large cattle raisers and
grain growers.
The conference was arranged
by Senator Watson who has been
making an active survey of the
question of relief. It was pre
ceded by a series of conference
between Secretary Wallace and
department of agriculture experts.
Farm Loans Utilized
Today President Harding kept
his Thanksgiving dinner waiting
while he heard the perfected pro
gram outlined and gave his gen
eral approval.
The plan proposes to utilize the
federal farm loan board as the
agency through which relief is to
be given. The details of the fin
ancing have been practically
worked out. The general pur
pose is larger and more liberal
credits and cheaper interest rates.
The opinion of those participating
in the conference was that while
the war finance corporation had
been of great value in alleviating
the distressed condition of agri
culture, its loans, because of cer
tain limitations, did not reach
down to the average small farmer
who raises a few cattle or has
small quantities of grain to market-.
By using the federal farm
loan board as the agency to carry
out the plan of financing, the ad
ministration plans propose to
make the government relief avail
able dijectly to the small farmers
who need it.
Program Approved
The whole subject of farm re
lief work was discussed exhaust
ively but the marketing problem
was touched upon only in a gener
al way. The general opinion at
the conference was that to extend
the program now to include so
complex and much controverted a
subject as cooperative marketing
would only serve to delay the Im
mediate object of relief. The
president was told that the press
ing need was to provide at once
financial aid to the thousand of
farmers who face mortgage fore
closures because they are unable
to dispose of their cattle and
crops without tremendous losses.
All the senators present gave
approval to the program and
pledged their support for its im
mediate consideration in congress.
Sinker Sheik is Pride
of Oregon University
EUGENE, Ore., Nov. 30. The
University of Oregon has its
"Shiek." and is proud of it. How
ever said "Shiek" didn't gain his
popularity by winning the hearts
of the fair co-eds. He gained it
by his culinary art.
Oregon's "Sinker Shiek," some
times known as Roland Arne of
Portland, last year conceived the
idea of earning his way through
the university by frying dough
nuts. , Between January 1 and
June 16 last year, Arne fried
60,000 doughnuts and sold them
to University of Oregon students
and other Eugene residents. He
found the business so successful
that he resumed it again this year
when he returned to the univer
sity to continue his studies.

Tiresome One for Mr. and
Mrs. George Wilkins
A balky Ford and an absent
minded wife almost made Thanks
giving a very "thankless occas
ion for George Wilkins of 674
North Church street yesterday.
Wilkins. who had been tinker
ing with a stubborn Ford car
during the early part of the morn
ing, sent Mi s. Wilkins to a nearby
filling station with instructions to
return a quart measure. Mrs.
Wilkins, however, who is a new
arrival here and vho had joined
her husband in the city only a
short time before, forgot to make
a note of the house number and
cross street. As the minutes
ticked into hours and still no wife
reappeared Wilkins began to get
anxious. Finally in desperation
he called the police station.The
police knew nothing and bad
heard nothing concerning the
whereabouts of Mrs. Wilkins. So
Wilkins put on his hiking shoes
and started on a pedestrlal tour
of the city in quest of her.
Meanwhile Mrs. Wilkins had
been taking an involuntary three
hour stroll arouud the city. She
had seen every place of interest
but her own family doorstep.
About 1:30 in the afternoon, by
patient and diligent inquiry 3he
managed to get back to "home
sweet home" ahead of her hus
band who was still looking the
city over.
Wilkins is glad enough to get
his wife back but henceforth he
avows she must at least learn the
way to the police station.
AT 1 M. C. A.
Hundreds Gather for Athlet
ic Demonstrations and
Musical Program
An "Open house" program was
given at the Y. M. C. A. Thanks
giving night, attended by hund
reds of boys and scores of par
ents. And there wore scores of
girls, too. It was a family affair
for everybody interested in boys.
The Mothers' club received the
guests at 7:30 in the lobby. At
8 o'clock the athletics began up
in the gymnasium, with R. R.
Boardman putting the boys
through a number of class exer
cises and games. One of these
games was "cage ball," for which
he chose 25 boys from the audi
ence for each team, and showed
how large numbers can play in
single game3 if properly directed.
Lion Tamers Win
Two interesting basketball
games followed. In the first, Du
ane Kirk's Lion Tamers tamed
Ivan Kafoury's Thunderbolts 8
to 4 in a spirited contest. The
Night Juniors, runder the com
mand of Stuart Kibbe, won a
hair-line victory over Jerome
Hansen's Day Juniors with a
score of 15 to 14. They were tied
at the end of the regular play
ing period and agreed to an extra
five minutes, during which the
Nights secured the one needed
point.
In the girls' swimming races,
which followed the gymnasium
games, eight races were put on
with a number of very creditable
performances. During the pastf
year -a large number of Salem
girls have learned to swim in the
Y pool and at the summer play
ground, and they put on an ex
hibition of skill and endurance
that would please any audience.
Swimming Tricks Shown
A good exhibition of towing and
of all the holds and methods used
in life saving was put on by Miss
Fay Handricksen of the state
house, assisted by Miss Dill of
the Y. W. C. A.
After the games were over the
program in the lobby was begun.
Otto Paulus was the director, with
Edwin Socolofsky as the song
leader. A piano solo by Paul Lee,
and some songs by Kenneth Allen,
the phenomenal boy singer of
Salem, were much appreciated by
the audience.
