Elmer "Starr and wife are Ylalt Ing In Salctn, having come up by auto from 108 Angeles. Mr. Starr wag a resident of Salem In the old days, working fot the Kinney mill JSalem Flooring Mill company), .which stood where the main mach inery' building 'of the Oregon Pulp and Paper company now stands). nd then for the "Scotch" mill (Capitol Flouring Mill company. standing where the Western Pa per Converting company now has Mm plant), and leaving Salem for Los Angeles in July, 1886. He worked there for the Capitol Mill ing company of California for 37 years, and ror the past three years he has, as Le.say:;. "been trying to keep out of mischief," .having rctirad from active work. Old Oregon Vamlly , Mr. Starr belongs to an Oregon historic family. He was born on the Rogue river in Jackson coun ty, now a part of Josephine coun ty. His foagin. Prof. S. A. Starr was for aflong time a member "f the fcul; of Willamette univcr alty. ' Mr. Starr visited Salem two' years ago. tie nnas very lew landmarks of the old days in ' Salem. , Hotel Marlon is here, ; that was the old Chemeketa and afterwards the Willamette hotel; Ihut it has been rebuilt and addi tions made. He finds here very lew' of the companions of his youth and young manhood. Oh. yes, a few. But most of the fac es "here 'are new. . When itfr. Starr left Salem, the first bridge across the Willamette had. not been built, though the uunas tyei unpaid) naa been vot ed, and the first of all the bridg es across the Willamette river was built, that year at Salem. It was washed away In the great flood or 1S30-'91. A second bridge took Its place, and outlived its time. The third bridge stands now in its place, good for anoth er generation, when it will have to be replaced, because, its riba are fof steel, and steel wil "honey comb"" with constant wear. The Future Salem Then there will be a bridge ot concrete, which will grow strong With age; will last "forever;' as that term is used. Though no one knows what forever means, and there is no such thing as forever for present forms of what we call "matter." Mr.. Starr says Los Angeles is booming right along. One ad vance, thought by men of little vision to be the ultimate one, is followed bv a zre&ter Ana Th industrial freedom of Los Angel es is attracting manufacturing and the acquisition of power to be used' Jn turning, the wheels and fnrnishjngithe light for more fac tories The power of the Colora do river is' net. But MrriStarr also sees -great things ahead for Salem, in its de velopment along .similar . lines. And there is no citjr of Salem's size on this coast, he thinks, that m,- . further jn dlopment lata the substantial things that make for growth and solidity. WILL CREMATE BODIES OF EXECUTED RADICALS (continued from-page one) Charlestown district. A few wfab were fined ' 10 each appealed .BOSTdN, Aug.. 23.(AP) The crime for which Nicola Sacco and . Bartolomeo Vanzettl were sentenced to die was double in order. On the morning of April 15, 120, Frederick A. Parmepter, paymaster, 'and Alexander Berar delli, his guard, arrived at the factory of Slater and Morrill Com pany, South Bralntree, near Bos ton, to pay orf employes. They carried. in satchels, $15,776. As they were about to enter the 'fac tory 'tlbor, two 'men approached ntl fired .at them. Both fell mortally wounded, s The two robbers grabbed the satchels An automobile,, which hid been waiting nearby, sped up to 'the curb. 'The satchels, were t-hroirn In "land the two robbers clambered 'into the car; which was driven off at high speed. " ; r The robbery and ', mrders at South" Bralntree had been preced ed 'by 'similar crimes. "Fblice"and detective had definite suspicions, and lhey set a trap to catch the owner of an automobile which, was in a garage jn 'urocton. un we night of, May 6, 1920. Sacco and Vanzetti, With others, appeared at the' garage '.and asked to take .the. car onU .

Both were, "radicals," 'and j were active in spreading radical propaganda. It was their contention that they had gone, to the ga'rage . with a friend to get his "automobile to collect radical literature in the possession of other friends, so that in case 'department of Justice operatives raided their friends! homes such literature woula not be found. The automobile they sought to 'use in this work, it de veloped, was not the car used In the hold-up and murder. But on their arrest, both Sacco and Vanzettl told conflicting stor ies of their doings. They later protested they lied to conceal their 'radical activities, through fear of deportation, and not because they had committed murder. At the time, the department of justice was active in deporting alien radi cals, f and numerous "roundups' and raids were being made and Sacco and Vanzettl had been ad vised by a lawyer to collect the literature. Sacco and Vanzettl were Indict ed September 11, 1920, and went oc trial at Dedham. May 31, 1921 In the meantime, radical sympa thizers had taken up their case and demonstrations intended to aid them were staged in many countries. Their trial, held in Judge Webster Thayer's superior court lit Dedham, attracted much attention. Fred H. Moore, of San Francisco, was chief of defense counsel. m rneir radical activities were brought out at the trial, and it also was brought out that both were pacifists and had gone to Mexico during the war to escape the military draft. The prosecu tion, directed by District Attorney Frederick G. Katzmann. explored fheir radical views, asserting this was made necessary by Sacco and Vanzettl inserting this as a de fense. Prior to he murder trial, Van zetti had been found guilty, in Judge Thayer's court, of a rob bery at Bridgewater, and for this he was sentenced. But evidence relating to this was excluded from the . murder trial by stipulation Sacco and Vanzetti pleaded not guilty and both gave alibis. Sacco told of being absent from employ ment on the days of the murder to attend business in Boston, and produced evidence to support this. Vanzetti told of being at work de livering fish, and offered testi mony to substantiate this. The state produced witnesses who identified them as men they saw at the scene of the crime. Ex pert testimony was given to show that a ballet taken from the body of one of the murdered men "was consistent with Sacco's revolver." Defense experts gave opposite tes timony. Both were found guilty, but sentence was stayed pending motions for new trial. A Sacco-Vanzetti defence com mittee was organized, and finan cial aid was sought to help, them. The cry was raised that the men had been found guilty because they were radicals. About this time the first of the demonstra tions In their favor was made by a labor committee in Milan, Italy. In the seven years that dragged out before Governor Alvan T. Ful ler made his decision on the case, numerous threatening letters were received by men prominent In the case. APPEALS FOR tlTA OBJECTS TO AWA'ltD OF f 15,000 TO COURT KKdKIVERS LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23. (AP) An appeal oyer Judge Walter Guerin's award of $45,000 to court receivers W. I. Gilbert and Herman Spitzel for ' their stewardship of Charlie Chaplin's property during his marital trou bles was promised today by Attor ney Kenyon Lee, representing Lita Grey Chaplin. As the order stands Chaplin Is directed to pay the receivers fee but the court was Informed that a part of the property settlement ef fected between the comedian and his wife released him from pay ment of more than $10,000 to re ceivers' and obligated Mrs. Chaplin to pay the remainder. On the request of Attorney Ken yon Lee. Judge Guerin granted a stay of execution, of the order for 15 days. At the same time the Jurist took under consideration a request by 'Gilbert that the order for payment 1 of the ."receivers be made a part of the interlocutory decree.' 4 . As the decree already is signed, it it 'were amended by the jurist, Mrs." Chaplin will not be free a year., ffom " yesterday but a yeat front the,' day the amendment is made. .. :. ;; . t Asi matters were being cleared up in the divorce muddle.

Yet that is the predicament of Lillian Lietzel, the dafnty' aerial queen among'the 800 are nfc per formers of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & BaiTfey circus com ing here next Saturday, August 27th. The smiling Lillian's salary is in four figures. She owns twoJ automobiles and her jewels would rival those of a dowager. Yet she must keep working. Not for pecuniary reasons but" because the nature of her act forbids any pro longed lay-off. When the petite aerialist stops her strenuous work on the Roman rings and flexible rope for even week she finds it difficult to get back Into form. Two weeks of rest would probably prove fa tal. There would come a bind ing of muscles and softening of wrists and hands that could never be corrected. So when the circus folds its tents late in the autumn and goes Into winter quarters, and most of the other stars plan a jaunt to Florida or a winter in California, Lillian heads for New York, or Europe and -more work. For two winters she was a feature of the Ziegfield Follies. Prior to the present spring she played the European capitals. Stunting on Roman , rings, forty feet in the air while scorn ing the use of a. safety net, seems but cbildis play for Lillian Leit zel. Turning a hundred consecu tive "giaht flanges" while hang ing by one hand from the end of a rope is just part of her, daily work year in and year out. Prosperity Outlook Fair " Says Secretary Hoover WASHINGTON. AUG. 23. (AP) A summary of business conditions in the United States, as presented to Secretary Hoover by commerce department studies, has convinced him, he said today, that FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur If Hair that loses its color and lustre, or whn it fades, turns grav, dull and lifeless, is caused by a mck of sulnhur in the hair. - Our grand mother made up a mixture of, Sage Te and Sulphur to 'keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands df women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade bf hair which is so attractive, use only mis oia-iime recipe. 1 . Nowadays we ge this famous mixture- improved by the Addition bf other ingredients by asking at. any drug store for a bottle of "WyethV Sape and Sulphur Compound," which darkens the,, hair mo naturally, m venly, that nobody ran possibly tell k una bto! wppitvn. ... i nu jusi uampen a sponsre or feoft brush with it and draw this through your hair,' taking one mu sir ana at 'a time.. , By morning the grav hair 'disappara; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sags -and Sulphur 'Com pound -i j that besides beautifully darkening the hair-after a few ap plications, ' U alto brifls back ths gloss and; lustre and gives it an ap pearaane ef 'abundance. ly : ' , i ' v --" r v " ' ! the outlook for American proper ity during the next five or. six months, "Is very fair." "Of course, economic prophecy is always hedged about with doubt and difficulty." Mr. Hoover said, "but ( notwithstanding, the oullook for the nation's busines for the next five or six months is very fair. "I have had presented to me to day a series of figures dealing with conditions during the first seven months of 1927," he contin ued. "In . 'construction matters, the accomplishment has been about 2 or 3 per cent greater than during the same period of 1926; the freight carriage on American railways so far this year has been almost the same as last. "Money rates are low, and the effect of cheap money on enter prise is almost' invariably a ten dency toward stimulation. The harvest in the grain country is passing through a somewhat crit ical period at the moment, espec ially with reference to corn, but if frost is delayed for a matter of ten days or so over the corn growing area, there will be a bountiful crop. On the whole the outlook is for a maintenance of general buying power." HABEAS CORPUS CASE IS UNDER ADVISEMENT (Continued from pays 1.) tentlary to serve a term of 20 years from Josephine county was noi oniy unconstitutional, but that the law was repealed prior, to the time of his 'clients arrest and con viction. The- assistant general submitted, a number of legai aumonties to show that the statute under which Kelley orig inally was sentenced to prison was constitutional, and denied that it had been repealed. District Attorney Carson an nounced today that in case the COUrt dismissed thfi temnnrarv M, J writ of habeas corpus he would demand that Kelley be resentenced without unnecessary delay. Arguments on the petition for a stay of execution of James Willos pending and examination of his sanity, probably will be heard by Judge Percy Kelly at Albany today or Thursday. The petition was filetl by Brad ley Ewers, attorney for Willos, and was supported by two affidavits alleging that the convict was in sane. A reprieve issued bv Gov ernor Patterson in the Willos case expires at midnight Friday. Kelley and Willos were convict ed of first-degree murder and sen tenced to be hanged in connection with the slaying of Milton Hol- man and John Sweeney, guards, in a break at the penitentiary here in August. 1925. At the time of the break Kelley was serving a term of 20 years in the prison for aid ing and abetting in the escape of Bert (Oregon) Jones from the Jo sephine county jail. Attorney Pipes now alleges that the statute under which this sen tence was imposed is unconstitu tional.

The federal government at Berne, greatly agitated by last night's rioting, when one man was killed and windows in the League of Nations palace were smashed, urged the Geneva government to call out the militia service to pro tect life and property at the same time hinting that it might send regular federal troops otherwise. However, tne ueneva govern ment, on the promts eof socialist members of the local legislative body that the socialist party would not join any anarchist demonstra tions, decided to content Itself by ordering, the. militia to hold them selves in readiness at their homes, for instant service, the mob call to be sounded by fire bells. Consul Tuck was walking among the manifestants last night when one of the women rioters ap proached him and shouted: "We wish to kill this Americanconsul pig." Mr. Tuck, without losing countenance, answered quickly. "Yes, he is a rascal," but then de cided that prudence suggested he had better go home. , After unfavorably commenting upon the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, the conservative Journal de Geneve this evening says that the Massachusetts jury unknow ingly has placed a powerful arm in the hands of the worst political agitators in the whole world. The paper then continued: "No more than we held the entire Russian people responsible for Soviet atroc ities, have we the right to Impute to Americans en bloc the decision of a jury and a few judges. "We know Americans from the United States who reprehend what has happened as much, if not more, a3 ourselves," the paper continues. "All generalization Is unjust. All anti-American move ments or boycott should be set aside as serving only disturbers of the peace and causing innocent victims." , Forty Persons Hurt LONDON, Aug. 23. (AP) Forty persons, including -four -women, were injured tonight near the Marble Beach arch when mounted and foot police charged a crowd of Sacco-Vanzetti sympa thizers endeavoring to form a pro cession in defiance of police or ders. What the sympathisers called a memorial meeting was held in Hyde Park and the trouble oc curred when those who attended the meeting began to march. It is declared the procession was to' proceed to the American em bassy. The police, with drawn ba tons waded Into the demonstrators who, in several instances, attacked the policemen and their horses with sticks. Reserves were then called out and they drove the manifestants from the streets and made a number of arrests.

WITH TROUT WHEN FISHING NEW YORK, Aug., 23. (AP) Some government officials may be content with fishing for trout and other small fish but when Miles Poindexter, former senator from Washington and at present ambassador to Pern, goes fishing nothing less than a 75 ton whale is big enough to talk about. The ambassador, who returned to the United States today after four and a half years in South America, was sitting in his suite at the Waldorf-Astoria talking over his experiences in Peru and other South American countries Someone asked if he did any fishing. "Well, speaking of fishing," the genial ambassador replied, "I caught a whale one day that " "A what?" someone interrupt ed. "Yes, a whale and it weighed 75 tons. It was one of those blue whales the Spanish call them porquals. It was a monster thing. "We went out to sea about 30 miles the night before and wait ed lor the first u dim daylight.: Early In the morning I went on deck. There, $bout 200 feet from the yacht were two of them, ly ing on top of the water. They looked like great floating is lands. , Aoout tnat time the gunner came on deck. He shot a harpoon into the larger one. You'd be surprised at the agility and speed of those cumbersome-looking wat er giants. Like a flash, the wounded whale sped off, the linen harpoon line zipping as it came out of the yater. "Up and down he dived, pulling the boat with him and jerking at the 35,000 harpoon line fearfully. He pulled the ship 10 miles be fore we finally conquered him and brought him to shpre."
