(AP) Although once acquitted by a jury in a case Involving the celebrated $100,000 "little black satchel" transaction, Albert B. Fall and Edward L. Doheny must stand trial again on about the same set of facts. This was decreed today by Jus tice Hitz, in the District of Colum bia supreme court, in overruling demurrers to bribery indictments returned some three years ago against the former interior secre tary and California oil operator and his son, Edward L. Dohenyj Jr. The demurrers were filed after the United States supreme court cancelled the lease contracts in volving California oil lands, which Fall had granted to Doheny's oil company. The highest court hela" that the contracts were made without legal authority, and also that they were tained with fraud and corruption because of the $100,000 transaction between Fall and Doheny. The defendants took the posi tion that since Fall bad no legal authority to make the contracts he could not be accused of accept ing a bribe, nor the Doheuys charged with giving a bribe in connection with the leases, since a government official could not be bribed to comit an act which he had no legal authority to com mit, i i CHIROPRACTIC I CONVENTION j , SIDELIGHTS j N- i J Dr. Oeorge Hoeye, of Oregon City, speaker at the Wednesday sessions of the chiropractic con vention, who has retired from ac tive practice, lived in Salem about 30 years ago, where he' was a bar ber for a time, and later became a dentist.

Home Loving Robins Halt Industrial Operations PORTLAND. Ore., July 7. (AP). That supposedly heartless 2:30 and 8:30 ARTIST If - .. , Unique Orchestral Band giant. modern Industry, has turned aside for a bird's nest. A few weeks ago two venture some robins built their home in an ill-advised spot--on a projecting girder in Portland's newest con struction r? concrete and huge steel frames. Later, the anxious mother bird was dislodged from the nest long enough that three small blue eggs were- discerned. Then t ame ,ise issuance of prob ably one of the strangest orders in the history of building con struction. It was, in effect "Two robins are nesting on the crane girder in the main bay. Any man who intentionally molests them or causes them to leave their nest can draw his time." The eggs have hatched out now. Strange, unfamiliar feet have come close to the nest, but have never touched it. Steel girders have been swung aside and iron work installed with especially deadened pneumatic hammers. And the two robins have stuck steadfastly on. feeding and rear ing their family. BYRD MAPS OUT GREAT PROGRAM OF FLIGHTS (Coa tinned' from paj! 1) Saturday at noon for Dunkirk, j and then will go to Le Touruet. ! fiom where by automobile, or maybe by plane, they expect to reach Cherbourg in time to start for home Tuesday aboard the Lev iathan. When Commander Byrd and his three comrades, Noville, Acosta and Balchen, get aboard Bhip, they will find Clarence D. Chamberlin waiting for them. He inteqds to fly the Columbia to London to morrow with a French pilot who dreams of guiding that plane by : ir back to New York with Charles A. Levine as passenger. Chamber lin will ?et aboard the Leviathan at Southampton. The American will go home with Byrd. its motors in boxes, itfc clipped wings in crates. Many big and little strips of the plane remain fort-ver in France, souven ir hunters having made most of ihe wreck when the historic mono plane was brought out of water where it came down at Ver-Snr-Mer, last Friday riiorning. Commander Byrd's prospective flight to the south pole received an impetus by the information conveyed io the commander by The Associated Press that the American secretary of the navy had no objection to such a flight. Prior to this, the commander of tne America had taken time fronr. his many engagements to tell a correspondent of The Associated Press of plans which he has in mind covering the next seven or eight years for explorations bythe air over difficult parts of the world. First would come his trip to the south pole, if the navy department would give its consent, with ex plorations over large sections of the polar area; then an aerial voyage over the forests and jun gles of Brazil, where man has not yet found a trail. He contem plated also a good will flight around South America, and finally an expedition, possibly to Arabia. Already Commander Byrd has given much though to his pro posed oxploratiGn. Having hov ered over the north poie, one o. his dearest ambitions is to find himself some day at the opposite end of the globe. Sylva All my ancestors were blondes.

C. Connor. Salem, editor of the Northwest Poultry Journal, is edi tor, and Irl McSherry, of The Statesman and Pacific Homestead, etc., one of the several assistants. It is not too much to say this little paper is full of good and bright things. Copies of it will be filed away by the high class poul--trv breeders of the state.

V V The man woo gives In when he Is wrong 1& wise, but the man who gives in when he Is right is married," is another echo from the poultry industry represented at Corvallls. which the tlueker fraternity folks call the shell In dustry. . "U Dr. K. V. McColInm of Johns Hopkins university is one of the chief speakers at the poultry con vention. He ambled into the con-N vent ion hall Wednesday evening, and the man in charge of that duty, mistaking him for a chicken man. asked him to register. He protested that he was not a poul tryman, nor an- Oregdnian. They insisted, when he handed them his card, to their embarrassment. The fact Is, Dr.. McCollum might well be mistaken for an Oregon chicken raiser, for he is as "plain as an old shoe," and as unpreten tious as a hayseed or a hick town hotel keeper. And he is the world's greatest authority on die tary problems. He is the man who has hunted down vitamins of high and low degree and told the world what to eat and drink to gain and keep health and vigor. The big gest men in the world are gener ally the most unpretentious and the most modest.
