THE OREGON "STATC3I.1A2J, SALE1I, OREGON . TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1924 i,!;G CUES to m douih IJ Governor Appoints Commis- ' sion to Study Hoof and Mouth Disease . Governor Pierce, yesterday ap pointed a special commission that will leave Thursday for, California to make a first hand study of the foot and. mouth disease and report back to Oregon. Following this report it will be decided whether any modification can be made of t&e stringent embargo that has been prescribed in Oregon against Tl f pv. nt California nmdnctg nnil ai tides into this state. . Visitor Request Hoard . ., . " The delegation going ;to Cali fornia will be Dr. B. T. Sims, head of. the department of veterinary medicine at Oregon Agricultural college; Dr. W. H. Lytle, state vet erinarian; M. R. Biggs of Prine ville, representing the cattle indus try; , Fred Faulkner of Pendleton, representing the sheep Industry; W. K. Taylor of Corvallls, chair man of the state iivestock sanitary board; and Harry West of Scap poose, dairyman. All but Faulk ner are members of the livestock sanitary board. The appointment of the com mission was at the urgent request of a special delegation from Cali fornia that is going on from Ore-, fion to Washington and Idaho. The appointment of: the Oregon com mission followed a conference be tween the Oregon board and the California delegation The latter was composed of the ' collowing men: F.,B..McKevitt. Sacramento, representing the fruit Industry; H. W. Lewis of Santa Aha, walnut In dustry; C.-Ni, Hawkins, Hollister, a ranchman and. president of the California livestock show, and "Joshua Shandeling of San Fran ce hco, representing the banking in terests." . They were ' accompanied by . J,. O.. Davis of San Francisco, former collector of the port of San Francisco. -" Modification Not Asked ' The Californians did hot ask that a modification of the Oregon embargo be made at present. ; . "Not only California, but the en tire United States is threatened with a calamity,", said Mr. Hawk ins In presenting the ..situation. "This is not because of the dis f 'se itself,' but because of the con r.&rcia disruption caused by the embargoes. An' embargo by- the entire United . States not only would mean the ruin of California, but the ruin of the entire Pacific coast. Federal figures show that 90 per cent' of the spread of the foot and mouth disease is caused by the movements of human be ings -and federal authorities gay ft cannot be ' carried by , products of tho soil." Mr. Hawkins pictured the bar ren condition of California ranges caused by the lack of rain, and said ic the .California livestock men can not move their stock they will have to let them die. j Government In Charge Mr. McKevitt said the govern ment practically has charge of the situation in California and that $2,S00,000 worth of livestock have been' killed: Provision has been made whereby the stock men are fairly well compensated through indemnities for this loss. W. K. Taylor complimented the California men on the fairness of their proposal, but doubted that 90 per cent of the spread of the dis ease is caused by human beings. No one knows, he said how the disease is carried, and that this is the reason the Oregon embargo has been made stringent. Charles A. Park of Salem, presi dent of the Oregon board of horti culture, declared the proposal of he Californians was eminently fair and he paid California a compli ment by saying that its board of agriculture is without a peer in the United States. I Embargo Signed Governor Pierce yesterday sign ed the embargo decided upon at a meeting In Portland Saturday at a conference of Oregon, Washington and Idaho officials listing articles and commodities that are prohibit ed of entry Into Oregon and those that are! admitted when adequate ly treated by fumigation... i It is intended that this embargo shall stand .until information comes . from the commission ap pointed iyesterday to visit Califor nia and observe .conditions that warrants a . modification.' The commission will leave for Califor nia Thursday. . , HOUSE DAMAGED SILVERTON, Ore., April 20. (Special to The Statesman.) Nearly the entire roof of the V.

Stressing the early history of Aurora, Zeno Schwab, mayor, pro claimed that his city had no bond ed Intebtedness and that the city was populated by retired people of a thrifty disposition. One man in town, 70 years old. has never tasted ice cream, he said. Aurora Is half-way between Portland and Salem.. Water power will be the future development of Jefferson, accord ing to Joe G. Fontaine, merchant. He claimed the world's greatest cow came from his section of the county, which has been proved to be the truth. The variety of prod ucts that can be; raised was also emphasized, the best thing about the town being it3 location, on the highway, Santiam river and the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad. ' Jefferson boasts of three auto parks. , Ninety-five per cent of the peo ple of Mt. Angel own their own homes, was the message brought by "Joseph J.' KeBer. banker. Mt. Angel was founded by priests from Switzerland, who fell In love with the -natural location. With 400 children In school, Mt. Angel claims to have more children in school in proportion to the size of the town than any other city in Oregon. While Salem may be . the hub, Silverton Is one of the main spokes of the wheel, John Porter, mayor, declared. Silverton stood still un til the railroad came in 1881, he said, but since that time has de veloped the timber resources' until the Jogging concerns employ 600 men in plants in the town and G50 in the woods. Stayton is a real manufacturing town, it was admitted by J. W. Mayo, banker, who offered a bar rage of figures comparing condi tions in 1918 with those of last year. At present 253 men are given employment in a variety of small manufacturing plants, tbp said. . The growth was . compared to that made by the woollen mills, which employed seven persons in 1916 and now has 150 on the payroll. , Stayton n Is 20 miles southeast of Salem and Is populat ed by descendants of early Ger man families, specializing, he said, in dairying, farm products and large families. Just why Woodburn modestly proclaims itself to be the berry center of the world was explained by John P. Hunt, r Taking a 25- mile radius, with Woodburn as the center, more berries of more varie ties are grown than in any similar area In the world, he said. Wood burn will not stand still, but will keep pace with the remainder of the world and hold to . its pres ent title. Miss Kathleen . LaRaut. May Queen at Willamette university, Miss Phyiis A. Palmer and Miss Irene Walker, her maids in wait ing, were special guests of the club. Governor Walter M.

Question of Insubordination . STATESMAN WANT ADS the shortest distance between buyer and seller. Charges of falsification of rec ords, padding of payrolls, insub ordination and disloyalty, filed by Major W. P. Simpson, acting secre tary of the world war veterans' state aid commission, against Cap tain E. C; Hamilton, special field agent of the commission, Saturday night had simmered down to mere ly the question of Insubordination. The case was not brought , up at a meeting of the bonus commission ytf.terday. . ' ' - A hearing was held at the Sew ard hotel in Portland before W. C. Ci-lbertson and Mark Weatherford, Members of the coinir.'ssion, and Major Simpson testified that; he wag mistaken as to the padding of the payroll and falsification of the lecords. He had asserted that Captain Hamilton had charged the government ' for attending' drills villi bis company at Dallas and then had charged the bonus com mission for the same night's work.' He admitted that this was an er ror. ' The question of insubordination hinges on a construction of Cer tain orders given Captain Hamil ton by two secretaries. Major Simpson had instructed Captain Hamilton , to remain at work at Salem and attend to some special work for a period of time, and the captain admitted that he did not stay there all of the time. He se id 'that he had written orders from a previous secretary which authorized him to leave Salem un der certain conditions and that he h&d done so under these orders. All of the witnesses before the two members of the' commission agreed to be sworn and a steno graphic report of their statements was taken. -The question of dis loyalty, one of the charges made against Captain-; Hamilton, was said to revolve about his assign Cients of ' reasons for certain ; re jections of claims of veterans. Ma jor Simpson held that the reasons given were not the reasons for which the claims were rejected. and that the statements reflected on the state. . ,, . ' Witnesses were clerks and other employes in the office of the com mission. - Conspicuous In the calendar for Music Week was last night's con cert presented by a group of ama teur and professional stucents at the First Christian church under the direction of. the Salem Civic Music cub. While the 'audience was comparatively small, the ap preciation was thorough. No en cores, however, were given and the artists acknowledged their ap plause merely with bows. Gene Parmentier, pupil of Miss Lena Belle Tartar, opened the eve ning's program In a highly credit able manner, his voice showing much natural ability as well as considerable intelligent training. He sang Cadman's "As in a Rose Jar" and "Bendemeer's Stream," from Gat ty, both reflective num bers that brought out well the quality of his voice. ; . Miss .Jean Hobson accompanied. . As an amateur in piano, , Miss Eugene Savage, pupil of Franklin II, Launer, developed: in both of her numbers the first Schumann's PapiIIons." the second. "Polon aise In A" (Chopin), the finish and piano style that so character izes her playing. Characteristic, too, la the natural rhythm that expresses itself. "The Polonaise" was played with notable fire and vigor. , Really thrilling her audience with her playing, Miss Mildred Roberts, amateur in violin under Professor William Wallace Gra ham', made a most attractive little figure,- . aar she stood - against the background of lilacs and baskets of green foliage. She played the Accolay Concerto in A-Minor with a concise fluencv thatiwnnirl hnv. Fdone credit to one much older. Kreisler's . Liebeslied was played with understanding, Mrs. John J. Roberts accompanied at the piano. The lyrical delicacy . of MIsa Ruth Tucker's voice came out In two. beautiful numbers, the first, "Summer," by Chaminade, and the other Spross' "Jean." She wore gold taffeta and lace. Miss Hobson played ihe accompaniment. Byron Arnold, a pupil of Frank lin B. Launer, playing In the pro fessional ; group, chose Bach's "Boure G- Minor" and the Strauss "Traumerel." H e showed i throughout his excellent musician ship. In both numbers hid relaxed poise and technique were credit ably, shown. Particularly beauti ful tone, was displayed in the Strauss interpretation. . Miss Helen Selig, who always plays with wholly artistic expres- HAMLETS' (REVISED) ADVICE TO VQ11L It Hamlet In his famous advice to the players had been addressing women, he might well have said. "Suit the occasion to the frock; the frock to the occasion." With all the boyish Insouciance of the mode, there are times when a cer tain amount of dignity must be mixed with our sportiveness. It may be meeting an old friend after ten years, or - taking one' hus band's great aunt to a concert, or an argument with one's modiste. On all such occasions where one's appearance, like Caesar's wife, must be beyond reproach and at the same time be sufficiently strik ing to make the desired Impress ion, "one could not go wrong by donning this distinctive coat frock of black Mlrrokrepe. a lustrous heavy crepe satin from the South Manchester looms. Its long grace-; ful lines are agreeably Interrupted by a border ot grey Mlrrokrepe which also continues tip the -side on .which the dress ' fastens. An additional attraction, is the graceful scarf and wrist knots of the grey material which give a pleasing relief to the plain lines of the costume. These accessories can be taken off at will, depending . on the austerity demanded by the occasion. The effective turban which fittingly complements this elegant ensemble Is made of the same lustrous black Mlrrokrepe, as the dress with a band of grey crossing the front. Henri Creange tells us that S touch of sapphire blue with white or black costumes Is much favored In Paris. Madame shows her fine sense of color values by adding & touch of sapphire blue in her ear ringSt her cabochon Bapphlre ring, and in the buckles at her shoulder and on her shoes. .... v.: ' sion, made no exception of her record last night. She chose Riese's Gondoliers and the "Preislied" from "The Mefster slnger" (Wagner). Mis Selig is a pupil of Professor Graham, and played also in the professional group. Miss Bedford was her ac companist. " . j Miss Bedford played also the ac companiments for Flora Fletcher Hedrick, who sang with power and range, and much vocal feeling, a group cifr three numbers: Hen schel's "Spring," "Sittin' Thlnk iri.". and "Love's in My Heart" (Woodman). .Mrs. Hedrick is a pupil of Miss .Minetta Magers. .Virginia Holt invited a group of friends for breakfast Easter morn ing at her home, 1032 Oak street.
