About a week ago the residence

prevails in other Installations In
Salem and elsewhere .which may
also cause fires. - : . .
Thinking that possibly you

gether with a suggestion as to how
the danger can be eliminated, we
offer the suggestion . and advice
that J all e electrlo light wiring
should I be J properly - "grounded
within each building. This
"grounding" is recommended by
the Board ot Fire Underwriters in
all cases, And required by their
rules in Installations where a 3

and the neutral fuse is omitted. :
The fire at Mr. Ross residence
above mentioned was a result of

CANADIAN RUM RUNNER RE
TURNS TO rORTIAJD
PORTLAND. Nov. 16.- (AP)
Captain Robert Pamphlet, skipper
of the Canadian rum runner Pes
cawha. seised off the Columbia
l-lver,-in February 195. returned
to Portland today from British
Columbia following a federal court
mandate commanding all concern
ed in the liquor conspiracy case
' to surrender to the court. Captain
Pamphlet Is under sentence of two
. years at McNeil island and a heavy
tine. He has been at liberty under
. bond of 910.000. :
7he skipper of the old halibut
boat which was converted into a
rum runner, still maintains that
his capture was directly, the result
of his having picked up nine men
from the wrecked lumber schooner
Caoba. ; The men .were found drift
lng in a lifeboat. The Pescawha,
he says, was then busy cruising
around looking for other lifeboats
and other members of the crew,
when the coast guard cutter Al
- gonquin overhauled her. ff.
Captain Pamphlet is not requir
ed to appear In court before No-
Tember 28." - V- :" '.-
The skipper expressed the hope
today that he might be allowed
toaoperate the ferry running from
McNeil Island to the "mainland.
"At any rate." he BoUloqulaed, 1
should have plenty of time to read
Sinbad the Sailor and other such
.yarns."

(AP) Ralph Douglas. : pioneer!

death this afternoon in a dramatic
but unsuccessful attempt to bring
to San Diego the world's parachute
dropping ': record. 4200 1 feet, now
held by : Sergeant Bowes - of the
United States army air corps.
Douglas leaped from an . air-
plane piloted by J- L. O'Donnell
at an alUtude of 10.000 feet, in
tending to drop at least a mile be-l
fore opening his Russell Lobe par
achute.; V i .'.
As he leaped from the wing of
the plane he made two complete
somersaulta and then went into a
terrific ; spin, i his ; head to the
ground. y: ' ",.':.
I fought frantically to check
my ' fan toy using my nanas as
flippers, hoping that something
would happen so that I would fall
right side up," said Douglas.. "The
more I fought, the faster I fell and
after . dropping - head down for
more than 1800 feet, I thought
that if I was going to save my life
it was time to act. w
I spilled the 'chute but in roll
ing over after jumping from the
plane and In-the subsequent head-
spin the lines evidently had. be
come entangled. - -y
When ; the 'chute opened my
fall was :. so fast that It - nearly
pulled the 'chute inside out. The
cord caught me across Xhe neck
leaving great welts and when -1
was jaaked right side up my right
foot felt as if it was broken, but
fortunately nothing of the sort oc
curred." . ,
Douglas landed in the center of
the main : harbor channel in the
deepest section of the bay opposite
Ballast i. Point. He was -in the
water less than 20 seconds before
being rescued by a water taxL

time of the accident he Is said to
have remarked to his companions
that he had served nine months in
