when Colonel Charles A. Lind

More than 13,000 police and re

celebration while watching the
parade from the roof of an office
building.
. . As the parade moved from the
Battery to City Hall, 18 women,
5 men and 6 children fainted.
Many of them had been standing
along the curb for several hours
in the scorching sun.
During the demonstration at
City Hall park 8 persons were

CAR CRASH INJURES TWO
Moore's. Automobile, Leaves High
t way and. Strikes Pole
Painful injuries were received
yesterday by Mrs. and Mrs. B. M
Moores, 630 North Commercial
street, when Mr. Moores attempted
to pass another car driven by H.
V. Dobyns of Portland, on the Pa
clflc highway north of Salem. A
small gin with the Moores was
uninjured.
In attempting to pass the
Dobyns car, Mr. Moores turned
too far to the left and was forced
into the ditch and into a telephone
pole, smashing both car and the
pole.
Gashes oh the arm were receiv
ed by both, but after treatment at
the Deaconess hospital they were
able t(o return home.
Too much speed on the part of
the Moores car in passing the
other was believed by tra'fic of
ficers to be the cause of the ac
cident, although Mr. Moores
claims that he was not given suf
ficient right of way.
GAS "WAR" EXPLAINED
B. Kay Tells of Observations
On Trip to California
How the recent gasoline "war"
came about and why It ended so
abruptly, was told, by Thomas B.
Kay, state treasurer, to an in
terested audience at the Salem
chamber of commerce luncheon
Monday noon. Kay's conclusions
were the result of observations
made while on a recent trip to
California. .
At the Long. Beach oil field,
Kay explained, theer are hundreds
of oil wells drilled close together
and draining. the same deposit of
oil. The small oil companies were
cutting prices, an dthat caused the
war; but the big ones owned all
the storage equipment, and they
refused to ! let the little fellows
use t when the war started; so,
facing the : alternative of letting
their pumps He idle while others
drained away the oil, they came
to terms.
