E
Question, of Live Interests
Declares Percy; Cupper;
Supplies Listed
"The question of water supply
for Salem la" of lire Interest and
will continue to be until we get
what we really wanl here in Sa
lem," declared Percy Cupper
Thursday In an address at the
weekly luncheon of the Marion
polk county Realtors association.
MThe question is, shall we con
tinue to pump from the Willam
ette rirer or draw from the snow
capped peaks of the Cascades?"
There are two forms of water,
Mr.. Cupper said, 'untreated and
treated. It Salem Is to have treat
ed water it does not make a great
deal of difference where the source
is. -But untreated water can be
obtained only from a' fully con
trolled draining area, he said.
"Sooner or later Salem la going
to own and operate its own water
system," Mr. Cupper declared.
"The proposition now is, when are
we going to do it? Nothing does
a city more good today than to
own and operate its own" water
ystem." .
. lie ; said that one thing that
Ftandja in the way of taking over
iue water plant is political man
ipulation. He urged, that realtors
do their, utmost to see, that the
system should not be dragged in
the ilirt by politics. : i i - .
. Marion Lake, Mr. Cupper thinks
is the' best source for4 Salem to
draw from. The water could be
run to Stayton and distributed
from there to municipalities in the
alley in-need of the water. He
suggested that Woodburn, Corval
1U and Albany might draw from
the' same supply, and thus lessen
the cost for all. It la -55 miles to
Stayton from the lake, he said,
end 73 miles from .the lake to Sa
lem.' He declared that the prop
osition would be an expensive, one
rrd that it seems unlikely; Salem
by itself will ever put in that sys
tem. But with the cooperation of
ether communities he sees no reas
on why it should not go through.
-; Mr. Cupper suggested that in
planning for the system the con
struction of a trunk: pipe as near
the tenter of the cities to he served
as"p03sible should be contemplat
ed, in order to make the project
a success, Mr. Cupper said, a spirit
of cooperation is needed, and dis-
i trust should he dispelled. He ad
ded that the project must be kepT
within na financial limits of the
city'J exchequer.

Last Word in Civilization De
clared Not Yet Spoken
- in Western World
."The. last word in civilization
has not yet been spoken by the
western .world," declared Wilfred
Wellock, English preacher, writerj
editor and candidate f of parlia
ment -on the labor ticket, in an
address to the students of Willam
ette: university Thursday. "India
wants home rulo so that she .can
develop her own culture and her
own talent." .
He declared that Mahatma
Gnandi. the great -Indian leader,
"Is, not only the greatest personal
ity on the face of the earth, but
ha . Influenced the lives and ; co
duct of i more people, during, his
lifetime than perhaps any man in
all time."! He said that Ghandi
has given away all his wealth for
the sake of India; and is giving all
bis life. i
- (Ihandi, Mr. Wellock . stated,
does .not believe that India will
ever set any place if she attempts
to use force. Aa a result; he has
tried to make the Indians see that
passive resistance H the way to at
tain their rights. The people of
his country have, submitted to his
advice, and are really making
headway in obtaining home rule,
Mr.i Wellock said, v . .
IIe- declared that some of the
- finest art aftd architecture of the
world has been produced in: India
and expressed the belief that the
country, should be allowed' home
yule in order that Its art might be
resumed. He' suggested that the
civilization of the east and the
west should borrow the best from
each other, and out of the two
develop a civilization that! would
be greater than either, ' !
Thursday evening he spoke at
the First Methodist church of Sa
leru sou the subject or peace. He
; declared that in his opinion' the
fcmall countries ot Europe will be
completely wiped off. the earth it
war continues. He eaid that his
tory shows that no civilization has

Proposed Removal of Kim
ball College to Seattle
Only Advisory One
At the meeting held in Seattle
Wednesday for the purpose of dis
cussing the question of moving
the Kimball School of Theology to
that city from Salem, those pres
ent passed a motion that the gath
ering recommend to the! national
board of education of the Metho
dist church and to the trustees of
Kimball college that the school
should be moved and placed some
where within- the limits of the
Paget Sound conference, according1
to Dr. E. S. Hammond, a member
of the faculty of the school, who
returned Thursday. j
Dr. Hammond, however,' seri
ously doubts that the school will
be moved in the near future, and
asserted that the capacity of the
gathering- in (Seattle was purely
en advisory ' one. Those present
at the meeting were Dr. Carl G.
Doney, president of Willamette
university Dr. Todd, president of
College of Puget Sound; Dr. E. L.
Mills of the Pacific Christian Ad
vocate, the district superintend
ents of the Oregon, Columbia
river and Puget .Sound confer
ence, and ministers from Seattle
and Tacoma. The school relies
i-pon the national board of educa
tion for most of its financial sup
port, and It is believed the board
might object to the move, as the
school would be connected with
University of Washington, and the
board has never before contrib
uted to the support of such a
school connected with a state col
lege, -v
Dr. -Hammond declared that if
the move should be made, the na
ture of the school would not be
changed. Dr. ; Doney was under
the impression that the movement
vould also include changing the
school from a straight theological
one to one of religious education.
r. Hammond asserted that it
would still be a straight theologi
cal school, . but would .handle re
ligious education In addition.

told' him No,' " Willos -said.
"Then he asked me if I ever
thought that I was Insane, and I
told him that I didn't know.
Everybody in the prison said I was
crazy, though. They told me so."
When asked by Will R, King,
defense counsel, whether or not
he had been 'told of his rights pre
paratory to giving a statement to
the district attorney and others in
the parole office of the state prison
on Shis return after the escape,
Willos declared that he had been
told nothing, and did not know
who his questioners were. The
statement was introduced by the
state von Tuesday. ; "No, they
didn't tell me anything," the de
fendant said. "I didn't know who
they were. I thought maybe they
were-newspaper men. I wasn't
sworn, or under oath, or any
thing." - C. M. Charlton, former principal
keeper at the penitentiary, was
called as a witness by the defense,
obviously to testify as to his opin
ion; of Willos mental capacity. "I
thought Willos was kind of queer"
the witness said. "One day he
came to me and said he wanted
to be put in the bull pen. I said,
What's the matter with you; are
you crazy? He said 'No. I'm not
crazy, but I don't want to be with
those ; fellows any more. I told
him to go back to work, but he
wouldn't, so I sent him ' to the
bull pen. It was Just about what
I expected of him, though; what
I expected him to say, if he said
anything."
"Willos seemed to want to get
away from 'the crowd," Charlton
said,; "He seemed to seek seclu
sion and wanted to do his time
and get out of there."
Three other convicts, Frank Fal
len, Dale Arthur and C. N. Willis,
were called by the defense and
gave their views of the break.
They were in cells overlooking the
prison yard and were ni a po
sition to see everything that hap
pened. Fallen testified as to shots fired

were held there, declaring that
the conditions were such as to
cause great fear. "How many
times have you been in the bull
pen?" defense counsel asked.
4Twice," Fallen answered; "the
first time in June, 1924, for 16
days." "And the second time?"
Mr. King asked- "Well, I'm In

cause I testified in the Murray
trial," Fallen answered,
j "We were sitting in the bull

shots fired into the cells by a tow
er guard. "Each was in his own
cells we couldn't even see each
cither. We were talking when he
guard up and: shot at us without
cause or warning. He said 'An
other chirrup out of any of you
and I'll kill every one of you!'
The guard was a little hard of
hearing and he thought that every
body was cursing him. He is

shooting that we were either curs-

According to thei. convict, the
only time the bull pen has been
thoroughly cleaned was Mthe mor
ning the jury went tnrougn be
fore the Murray, trial "
The only thing anyway out of
the ordinary that occurred during
the trial was when j Dale Arthur,
another convict, about 25 years
of age, was called by the defense.
He had testified relative to the
break and was being cross-examined
by . the state. i
"What crime iwere you commit
ted to the prison f 6r," the district
attorney asked. 1
"For burglary"! the witness
said. Then turning to Judge
Kelly he said: "l don't think,
judge, your honor, that he has
any right to inquire Into my past.
I'm, paying for It."
The court held, however, that
the Interrogations j Were in order.
It was brought out during the
questioning that Arthur had been
convicted of burglary not less than
five times, and hidv been sen
tenced once for highway robbery.
The court room ( was crowded
again yesterday, witii a large num
ber waiting for seats. About an
equal number of men and women
were represented in! the audience.
As usual, a large crwd waited on
the east side of the building for
the convicts to be placed in the
fast prison automobile and rushed
back to the penitentiary.
