Thirty Salem Indnstriea Have Dis
plays; warding Will Get
Under Way by Expert
Early Today
The annual Marion-Polk County
Corn Show and Industrial exhibit
will open this morning at '10
o'clock at tbe.Armory. The affair,
conducted under the auspices of
the Salem Chamber of Commerce,
appears to be. the most successful
by far that has been held.
From the time the doors of the
Armor were flung open Wednes
day morning until well into the
night the various exhibitors were
flying in and ont of the building
in a merry frenzy to arrange their
exhibits before the grand opening
today. Wjth eight carpenters on
the job, the- framework arose rap
idly and all afternoon the-various
St a 11; . were being decorated.
A preliminary glance into the
.Armory last night revealed many
, unique exhibits for this year.
There is a section squared off con-
taining corn stalks . twelve feet
THHX BT
k I liigb. Two or three of the ears of
) i corn on the stalks are .out of or-
J dinary reach and would necessi
tate the use of a step ladder in
gathering.. These stalks, accord
ing to the comment of the exhibit
ors viewing ; them . last night,
should be ample refutation of the
statement that this is not a corn
country. There is row upon row
of corn of excellent quality.
J. F, Hughes of Woodburn, one
of the best corn raisers in the
country, and the winner of more
ribbons for corn than Any man in
the northwest, ' is exhibiting three
varieties of corn at the show. .
, There are now 30 industrial ex
hibitors at the , corn show, and
seven community , clubs. , Scotts
Mills, the, latest community club
to be organized, was . one of the
first to arrange its stall.
There is also an-exhibit -of. the
state flax plant. For this exhibit
the Chamber of Commerce donat
ed the space. . . i
Prof. E. N. Bressman of OAC
will commence judging the corn
and making the awards at
o'clock this afternoon, so that by
this evening the spectators will
be able to see how the awards
have been made. t -
Miss HelenXowgill and Prof. C.
E. Schuster will Judge the com
munity exhibits at 9 o'clock Fri
day mornlng... Friday afternoon
Prof Bressman will talk' on the
corn and why he made certain
awards. v , , .... . . . i.
It is expected that the attend
ance record for this year's corn
show will shatter all previous rec
ords. Not only has attendance
grown steadily each year, but this
year for the first time there is'
system in the securing of the best
exhibits from eachv community,
and this plan has aroused an" en
thusiastic interest heretofore not
attained. ' It la expected that the
crowd will.be of the capacity of
tha Armory from the time- of the
start this morning at 10 o'clock
until the time of the close at 10
o'clock Saturday evening.

Dead Commander Chal
lenged in Court
FOLEY WILL TAKE STAND
Jndge' Advocate of Shenandoah
Inquiry to Defend Himsel
Against Charge of In
fluencing Witness
WASHINGTON, NOV. 18. (By
Associated Press.) Striking to
the heart of the charge of Mrs.
Margaret Ross Lansdowne that its
Judge advocate, Capt. Paul Foley,
had sought to sway her testimony,
the Shenandoah naval court of in
quiry heard four witnesses in
rapid suc( ession today and will
listen tomorrow to Captain Fo
ley's own version of the affair.
High lights in the day's testimony
were that Mrs. Lansdowne under
stood fully that the celebrated
statement prepared for her by
Captain Foley was only a memo
randum offered for her assistance
in preparing her statement to the
court, and that the captain, as
judge advocate, had argued with
the Shenandoah commander's wid
ow that she could not call the fatal
flight of the craft a political one.
Mrs. George W. Steele, wife of
the commandant of the Lakehurst
naval air station, who delivered
the Foley statement to Mrs. Lans
downe, testified that she had made
it clear that the paper was not in
the nature of a suggestion as to
what her testimony was to be.
"I distinctly told her that it was
orierea oniy tor ner assistance in
preparing her own statement for
the court, and he could use it or
not. as she chose," Mrs. Steele
said. "Captain Foley told me it
was not a suggestion but was
merely a memorandum along the
line on which he understood she
wished to testify."
Mrs. William R. ?Jason, aunt of
Mrs. Lansdowne. and Mrs. Jose
phine Foley, wife of the accused
naval "officer, testifying concern
ing the interview between the
captain and the widow, both de
clared that the captain had argued
with her against" characterizing the
midwestern trip of the airship as
a political flight.
Mrs. Mason said she did not pay
particular attention to this part
of the conversation but Mrs. Foley
declared her husband had said
that if Mrs. Lansdowne could have
seen the many requests received
by the navy department that the
Shenandoah be sent to the middle
west she would not regard the
flight as a political one.

COMBIXATIOX LOCK DEFIES
SALEM ENGINEERS
Safe-Openers of Gentle Variety
Lacking at Prison; Hole
Made in Wall
After several hours of worry,
not to say anything about work,
Harold Davis, assistant cuy en
gineer, through the diligent appli
cation of all the spare tools he
could locate, managed to force his
way through the rear of the built
in safe in the office of Hugh Rodg
ers, city engineer, after the ault
had defied all comers for several
days.
The safe contains records need
ed in the daily activities of the
office and is not always locked
as it contains nothing of value to
a thief. Somehow the combina
tion was given a few fast whirls
and locked. The "open sesame"
was not known at the office.
Calls for an expert safe-opener
were made at the penitentiary but
the only available material was in
the form of two inmates who pre
fered the less delicate method of
applying powder and blowing
safes. The only real lock expert
was recently released. Deputy
Warden J. W. Lilile informed the
inquirers
Taking everything from his poc
kets and holding his breath, Davis
managed to squeeze through the
hole in the wall at the rear of the
vault late Wednesday afternoon
and open the combination lock
from the inside.
The wall' is a portion of the
first reinforced concrete struc-
tures put up in Salem, according
to City Recorder Martin Poulsen.
j.Had the safe been that in his of

vaults is to provide protection to
important city records and files in
case of fire.

BRITISH SHIPM AN VISITS
Williclm Expresses Eager Curios-

of World; "Yellow
Peril" Feared
LONDON, Nov. 18. (By Asso
ciated Press.) The former kaiser.
in his exile" at Doom, still wears
showy uniforms and decorations
and keeps much of the state of
Potsdam days, but has mellowed
much with age and shows a ten
dency to forget the bitterness of
the war. This description of Ger
many's former ruler has been
brought back from JDoorn by Alex
ander Montgomery Carlisle, noted
British shipbuilder who has been
spending a week-end with his old
pre-war friend. Wtlliam.
Although there is much in the
former kaiser's surroundings rem
iniscent of Potsdam, he showed
eagerness, in after-dinner chats in
front of the fireplace, to know all
the latest gossip about his old
friends in England.
"Sunday dinner was a most
stately affair," Mr. Carlisle said,
"reminding me of the days before
the war when I visited Berlin. The
former kaiser's wife, Princess Ce
cilie, was magnificently gowned,
and all the staff wore full uni
forms. "As I had not seen William
since 1913, he appeared pleased to
greet me. and I occupied the place
at his right. Next to me was the
Lord Chamberlain, even more dig;
nified than in pre-war days, and
it seemed to me we talked mostly
of stately world affairs.
"But after dinner when William
and I were by ourselves, he plied
me with questions about all sorts
of things i-how the Strand in Lon
don appeared today; about Rot
ten Row, in Hyde park, where he
used to rjde during his London
visits, and about the so-called
'yellow peril' in regard to which
he said heBeriever tiiaf'if' there
was danger for England anywhere
it was in the Far East."

Citizens are Asked to Assemble at
Place of Worship and
Render Thanks
Governor Walter M. Pierce yes

that citizens lay aside their ordin
ary activities on Thursday, No
vembera 26,, assemble in the cus-!
tomery places of worship and
render thanks to Almighty God
for the bounties no man has be
stowed upon this favored land
and to the people theron.
The proclamation reads as fol
lows: "The custom in America of an
nually setting aside one day In
which to render thanks to God
for His manifold blessings was
begun by our Pilgrim forefathers
over three hundred years ago. The
custom was soon adopted by
other colonies and since the foun
dation "of the United States of
America the day has been regu
larly observed by nearly every
state in the union.
. "It is : well for us as a self
governing people to be reminded
that our nation was founded by
Godfearing men and women who
believed the Holy Bible to be the
inestimable gift of God to man,
and who wrought its precepts in
to the very foundation of our
government,
"Thanksgiving Day has grown
to be a day of homecomings and
family reunions' when the child
ren again gather around the
hearthstone and renew the bonds
of love and affection for the old
home. Upon the continued puri
ty and sanctity of the American
home depends the future safety
of our nation. It is from those
homes that the citizens of tomor
row must come. Let us, there
fore, keep up the old custom of
rendering thanks to Almighty
God for His many blessing be-
stpwed-durlng the past year and
fervently pray that He may keep
America true to the ideals of its
founders. As our children gather
around the festal board let us
again impress upon, them the les
sons of simple faith in God as
was taught by our good fore
fathers so many years ago. May
this day be for us all as a people
a homecoming back to the old
Ideals of American life."
