He states that a busy time was in or der during the opening to the closing date, Tuesday evening at 10 o'clock. I t In addition Boardman visited several of the gymnasiums of the northwest seeking ideas to be used in the new building for the YMCA here. He states that he was suc cessful In this quest, as he visited some of the new buildings recent ly completed in the sound cities. A great interest is being Bhown in Seattle towards handball. AH the courtsfi are crowded from morning until evening and it is estimated that there are over 1200 handball fans on the courts. George W. Stock. International secretary of physical work in the YMCA. was leader of the confer ence, to which 18 physical direct ors of Oregon, Washington and Idaho were presents SHERIFF; BOWER LAX ON DRY LAW (Continued from put l elected. dry" would be elected. Mr. Cleaver admitted writing a letter asking if someone might not be found who could oppose Denton G. Burdick of Klamath Falls, present speaker of the house. In regard to the situation at Albany, Mr. Cleaver said that he under stood Victor Oliver, justice of the peace, might become a candidate for district attorney If Mr. dwell ing did not run, and in this case, he said, he advised Judge Oliver to enter the field. Mr. Cleaver favored the candi dacy of Jefferson Myers for state treasurer, and if he had been able to remain on the La Follette com mittee without violating the cor rupt practice act," he would have assisted him, he said. Apology was made for anything he might have said against Dis trict Attorney Tongue, later de velopments having proven him mistaken. ! r Wai After Llnville Repeating his statement that no prosecutions resulted from the AN OPEN LETTER! WE WISH TO ASK: "Where are Salem's great number of people who continually clamor for Better Pictures?" We are now showing at the, OREGON THEATRE what we consider one of the best shows ever pre sented in this city, t j IT IS "Husbands and Lovers" Enacted by Lewis Stone, Florence Vidor, ;Lew Cody. This photoplay, is a comedy drama that will entertain, amuse and grip your heart from the first to the last scene, and will please the most discriminating movie fan. : . . Furthermore we are showing this at regular prices. From the amount of business we are doing with this perfect entertainment, we arc almost ; convinced that the public will not support good, clean pictures with real merit, and we will probably have , to take this picture off before its run is completed. If You Really Want Good Pictures, Why Not Support Them? (Our intention is to piny ( this show including Friday OREGON THEATRE Weinberg investigations, in which $1500 of state money was spent, Mr. Cleaver said that the affi davits in his records were opies davits in his records were copies who earlier in the hearing had denied ever seeing them. Victor Hugo was retained and spent more than $800 in filing 30 cases, of which 27 were dismissed and three resulted in acquittals. With Governor Pierce. Mr. Her wig. and Federal Agents Silver man, Walker and one other whose name he had forgotten. Mr. Cleav er met at his own home to look over evidence obtained by Wein berg against federal agents and Dr. Linville. federal director for the state, he told the committee. He was unable to explain why two lump. sums of $.00 each in June and a similar amount in July were turned over to Mr. Hemic and not given to Weinberg until be tween July 23 and August 1. This was up to Mr. Herwig. he said. Statement Is Head ptr. Cleaver's statement was reed to the committee by Senator Garland, chairman, before he was questioned for the last time. A copy had been submitted to the governor but he had not heard whether or not the executive ap proved. Mr. Herwig had not Rpen a copy nor had any member of the committee. Some counties failed to report in, time to be included in the bl euinial report and some minor er rors, which were in favor of the report, the statement said. Criti cism directed toward total arrests and fines are exaggerated and al most wholly untrue, because of the fact that there are 50 state agents, some volunteers without pay. and when the report: was printed less than 20 of the 50 had reported. The full report covered 1 1 large sheets, and : is given only in part. Kfioit Sincere i "To injure anyone's feelings by the publication of field reports which come to me properly signed by the agents was the last thing I dreamed of,": the report con tinued. "The whole report has been picked at by discharged employes. and branded as a pack of false-1 hoods from cover to cover, by i enemies of this department, but 1 am sure your committee recog nizes it as a sincere effort to re cord the activities of the state pro hibition department, and that the small errors which it may contain are unintentional. - "Pioneering ; a department of ! this character by a person with no previous experience as an oificer. has been no small undertaking, and it was perfectly natural and proper for me to seek and; con nect with those who were experi enced in such work. Herwig Claimed Law "I had heard W. J. Herwig say many times that the new prohibition-commission law had been sponsored by his organization an I therefore assumed-that it wi" an anti-saloon measure, although fathered in the legislature by Sen ator Eddy. "As to the policies established for the state prohibition office and announced by the governoj. from time-to time I believe them to be largely the policies of the league, although other law en- in forcement agencies were also con- j suited in the. matter. J "Mr. Herwig very kindly ac- companied me to visit Dr. Lin ville. Sheriff Hurlburt, Stanley Myers. Chief of Police Jenkins and others I was already very well acquainted with Mrs. Mary Mal lette of the WCTl. and had met V. L. Gilford of the Klan. Klan Start Fight "I mention the Klan because they claimed to be principally in terested in law enforcement, and yet they were the first to start a fight against me. "I started out with the idea that the Klan should be included in the cooperative plan for the prohibition department and the enforcement of the liquor laws. "I recommended for employ ment two men endorsed by the j Klan leaders and they were both eonne. ' ooenert tne Hour and a impossible, as admitted by their ' quarter program. Rich in vari Mr. Kletzing in his testimony be-jstions. the theme was all given in fore your committee; but In spile the first four measures. With of this knowledge the Klan organ, The Western American, then edit- ! ed by Lem A. Dever, started the fight on the governor, on me and j my agents and the prohibition de partment, which later became the regular sport of the leading dail ies of Oregon. Kx-Service Men F.m ployed "I do not know, however, that the men selected for work In 1923 are all ex-Fervloe men, as most of the regular officers have been in the past. "The difficulty of gettine high das men to act as prohibition agents must be apparent to your i committee after hearing the evi- dence submitted in this investiga tion, and the salary allowable un der the present limited funds must necessarily be too small to attract men of wide experience or educa tion. "The practice of using state stars without a commission signed bv the governor, has bepn discon tinued and was only used on the assumption that a state officer ha the right to deputize tempor ary help. No Fralllill)s, Allowed "I have been accused of tryinar to "ret". public officials and i must call your attention' to the iflil iiini tuc iiiuuri ii oik u i ii. a it t j upe of the word "get" in such a! connection means "frame." or go! to any limit to manufacture evi- dence. The use of the powers of j this office or its agents to enter' into such an illegitimate scheme! against any person, official or private citizen is hereby positively denied; but if complaints continue to come in from respected and law-abiding citizens that officials of county or state are violating the prohibition laws, 'such com plaints will have the full and en ergetlc attention of the prohibi tion office as long as I, am pro hibition commissioner. ' "Much has been said about the provision of the law wbicn puts the burden of cooperation on the local of'lcer. but it should not be changed for the very same reason that if you remove the option which the commissioner now has as of sending agents into any covntv without notice you will weaken he law materially. Many Have Friends , "f have already pretty well i covered the question of employes, but .some of rthose discharged have hadpowerfirl friends and have ex ercised every means at their com mand to discredit me and have me removed for reasons easily dis cerned by yonr committee. "These efforts have gone so far that my office has been picketed for months at a time, my agents .followed all over the state, and even my telephone tapped, as shown by testimony of Mr. Kletz- n r rf tha Winn ri pt trt ivn nrrani. zation. in order to dWredit and get control of the prohibition de partment. Klionld Change Law "The law should be changed to give the commissioner more of working fund; even if the limit were taken off the 25 per cent pro vision left as it Is it would be a wonderful help. There should he a provision for the disposition of unavoidable income, but the pro- vision for cooperation should not be changed. f ''What very little political activ ity my records show I take all the responsibility for and hav po apologies to make I did want dry men in office. "I belong to no political party no lodge or secret order. 1 am from an enthusiastic Republican family and was an ardent Roose velt follower and a prohibitionist at the same time. I voted for Harding and Coolidee and for Fl. M. La Follette. and proTXse to maintain this political independ ence regardless of any public of fice. "Finally I want to thank this committee for their kindness and consideration shown me during this investigation and ask no fav ors at their hands I stand on my record and take all the blame for the mistakes of this department and only ask for my share of the credit for the things accomplish ed.
