i;o wholesale closing of coast Fix

templated by sportsmen of Oregon
now, or In the immediate" future.
' This was a fact made plain at
the , annual session of he Oregon
Gams Protective association to
day, with 108 delegates represent
ing twenty local i sportsmen's or
ganizations from all parts of the
btate in attendance.
For sereral days before the
association met threats had been
- spread that unless a resolution
wa3 adopted f aroring the closing
to commercial . fishing of erery
stream that flows into the Pacific
ocean within the boundaries of
Oregon, the meeting would be dis
rupted.
, But none of the advocates of
this radical measure made an ap
pearance today, and Will R.
, Lewis, president of the Multno
mah Anglers' and Hunters club,
ia a speech before the delegates,
declared that his organization is
opposed to any such legislation.'
"We closed the Big and Little
Nestucca rivers, the Willamette,
the' Wahana and the Necanicum
this rear." Lewis said, "and we
are watting to see how this action
will work out. So far as I know,
not a single member of our organ
ization of 1500 members has in
m'nd the closing ' of any : other

Count von Bernstorff wished to
fix the importance of the revision
article firmly In the mind of the
committee when it comes to study
ing how certain other articles
more immediately linked with the
problem of security may be creat
ed as this basis of disarmament.
The opinion held by the so call
ed allied powers is that security
Is best guaranteed by recognizing
as. sacred all' existing treaties.
The treaty of Versailles prorides
for evacuation by 1835 prorided
Germany has i fulfilled all her in
ternational obligations under the
treaty of Versailles. - t
This means that Germany must
also fulfill her reparations obli
gations under the Dawes plan and
that if her' financial commitments
are not lired Tip to, the' allied oc
cupation could continue Hence,
it is argued, Germany" possesses a
real interest in securing alteration
ot the financial stipulations of the
treaty. . j ' -

lamette Unirersity: campus. .
The audience which filled the
hall was vastly 'pleased with' each
acio and ensemble number and
clamored without stint for . more
so that the length of the program
was practically doubled before the
music-loving public in attendance
was appeased. : - ?

Hobson, head of the Willamette
unlrerslty school of music, , J . J
Granville D. Morgan and Carol
Shear who were heard last
night for the first time in Salem

proval. : ' .
Miss Jean Harper, who is one
of the best-known pianists in Port
land accompanied the quartet in
a thoroughly able and pleasing
manner. . - v
The program opened with the
"Winter Song" ( Ballard ) which
was followed by the amusing en
core, "Hie Away Home.'
J Mr. Craven and Mr. Blenkinsop
won the. hearts of each member of
the audience with their singing of

Magpies", followed.
Miss Harper played as a piano
solo. "The King's Ball" (Korn
gold) with an emotional force that
stirred ' the audience which de
manded an encore, Brahm's "A
Flat Major Waltz."
As a solo number, Everett Cra
ven sang "The Grey Wolf " s
song: well suited to his unusual
baritone voice. He also responded
with an encore.
The first half of the program
closed with a medley sung by the
quartet.
- The popular song, "Tim Roon

days were pictured through prose

of the ; woman's aged husband,
were presented to the jury today
in -the light. of innocent and in
jured persons entirely unconnect-

of the day the bulk of the defense
testimony " was presented, al
though the dramatic moment will
not be reached until the defend
ants themselves tak the stand to
tell their own stories. - , j
Today' testimony was to the et-j
feet that Beach was. nowhere near
the scene of, the crime when Dr.

up from testimony t'of almost a
score of witnesses. J He was seen
driving near his home in the early
morning of- the -day of the crime
by two women and a man. At
10:30 o'clock he was said to bare

Coolldge Address Slated
The president will address the
committee members late Tuesday
atthe White House but there is
no indication that he will discuss
his own political future.
iThe viewpoint of some commit
tee men Is that the only thing to
do is to begin to look more ser
iously upon other candidates who
have been mentioned and to let
the word go out to their respec
tive campaigners that they might
as well get busy.
One of today's arrivals, Pat
Sullivan, committee man from Wy
oming, said that in his opinion
there was no question that Mr.
Coolldge was definitely out of the
running. He said not only would
Wyoming send a delegation to the
convention for Secretary Hoover
but that it would refuse to partic
ipate in any attempt to secure the
nomination for President Coolldge
as a sudden, dramatic move.
'- No Deadlock Anticipated
He said he could not agree
with some politicians that the con
vention would deadlock , and sud
denly nominate Mr. Coolldge as
the. results of an emotional demonstration.
