Petty theft, habits formed by Hkkman in Kansas City were tes- itled as having been admitted by the prisoner. "I formed the habit of stealing small things, as candy," Hickman was quoted. "Also I stole over 200 books from the library." "Ma warned me many a time," the witne...s quoted Hickman, "about my stealing, telling me I'd end in the penitentiary." The witness testified to Hick man relating the circumstances of meeting Welby Hunt, alleged ac complice in another Los Angeles murder of a year ago, and another youth in Kansas City after they had returned from a trip to Cali fornia.

PICK BURNER'S SITE SOUTHEAST OF CITY (Continued from Page One) quarter of a mile south from Turner road, and Just southeast of 25th street. It is not in the city lin. its. Only one alderman, S. E. Pur- vine, voted against adoption of the committee's recommendation, but Alderman Grabenhorst registered a "no" on Dancy's motion that the city recorder be instructed to en ter into a contract for purchase of the site. After the vote, Newell Williams, president of the southeast Salem community club, walked to Pur vlne's desk, and handed the alder man a cigar, but said nothing. Wllli.ims. as president of the com munitv club, ha? been a central figure In the battle against loca tion of the incinerator in that dis trict. William s.nid after the meeting however, that "The rabbit afte: chasiiig its tail around for some time has finally come back to where it started." fie intimated that the election of alderman next May would give the people an oi port unity io unseat some of the men now holding office.

The dredging out of the dil.-h along the slaughter house ro:id will make possible satisfactory drainage of the tract. Alderman Dancy said, and there is room on the land to dig trenches in which to bury cans and other uv.buni abie rubbi-!i. The PiMsburgh-Des Moines con cern, successful bidder on the in cinerator, is prepared to o;:i mence work on the plant imme diately. A foreman from IVs Moines will be sent to take charee of the work, but only local men will be employed otherwise. About a dozen men will be used on the job. WILL TELL OF HOOVER II. C.

Candidate's Name - Subscribers : 3 - 4 - Up To Date Drug Store Located In New Market An up-to-date drug store Is anr other concern that will add to the list of Salem business enterprises and to the population of the new public market establishments. The ipharmiscist In charge of the Mar replied vet Drug store is C. L. Wellman. Mr. Wellman is not entirely new to Salem, having been connected with another drug business here for nearly two years. Mr. Wellman's pharmicist n- ja fully equipped store for sundries Branch Store At "Market' Another branch store to have o.iarters In the public market building is the electrical store of Vlbbert A Todd, whose main store is at Ferry and High. Vibbert & Todd will cater to the housewives' electrical needs. and will have everything from electric light sockets to radios. In between will fall percolators, toa;ter3, plates, waffle irons, ma chines, and irons. Put the selling end of this busi ness Is not all that will appeal to the public. The firm will feature a service, both at the time of in stallation and afterwards, that will be a convenience to many homes In Salem. Wiring, whether in whole or part, will also be done by Vlbbert A Todd. Salem Heights Residents Vote On New School Today Whether or not the present ciowded and old school building at Salem Heights will be used for another year or mora will be decided tonight when taxpayers of that district rote for a second time upon a measure calling for the ipproval of a new, adequate struc ture. The election will be held at the Salem Heights community house. Should an affirmative vote be ;ast this evening, it will only mean that the board of directors may continue with ways and means for replacing the ole building and that when these are complete another resort to the polls will be made for authorization of the financing method which the board elects. A number of residents in the Ustrict are working hard to bring rhe school up to efficiency, and especially desire to bring back the standardization which it was foic d to give up a couple of years ao, md to this end will no doubt tec 'ha' most of the taxpayers vote, it least. Will Employ Half Dozen To Manage New Structure W. J. Busick, who is in tempor- iry charge of the new market 'milding at the corner of Commer ial and Marion stree sta'es that ill details of the management of plac- have not yet been deter mined, but that some half dozen i?;-X)ns will probably be needed he beginning to tuipervige and to are for the building. These will include a market master, office assistants, and jan itors, at least. With the 12 busi nesses ready; at the go, It i3 esti mated that 75 people will be on hand each day to wait upon the public. Busicks To Conduct Two Businesses In New Place Another business that has luarters in the heavy business dis trict to open a branch at the pub lic market is the J. L. Busick & Sons grocery. In fact, this com pany will have two departments at the market: The Market Gro cery and ihe Market Fish and Poultry department. Their business in the market will be conducted on a cash and carry basis, just as are all the un dertakings there. Because the big building is out of the high rent area, prices at both the Busick concessions will be able to quote price for every day as attractive as many so-called specials. A special storage room for the meat department is 14 by 16 feet and of the latest word. Ice for the room win come rrom a tnree andjsireet was passed, i ne extension one-half .ton automatic plant injhed the approval of the planning the basement. All cases are en closed, refrigerated, and set upon marble bases. The fish and poultry department will handle usual meat market products, besides fish and poul try. Space Left for Farmer To Sell His Own Produce Farmers who live at the edge of Salem and farther away than that have come into their own at last. Why? Just because there is plenty of space provided at the! new public market building for farmers and truck growers to dis pose of their wares. Only yesterday there could be seen about at least one p;rt of town a rancher selling his pro duce from dcor to door. 'Tis bet ter late than never, and now Sa lem has a public market building that will do away with the tire some door to door visit, and buy ers will eagerly come to the farm er. Stalls for this vital part of the market are not yet in place, but they will be before the heavy rea son of fruits and vegetables ii here. Floor space to the amount of 24 00 feet has been provided for producers, a fixed rent to be es tablished later and other problems of this end to be attended to. So, hereafter Mr. Fruit r Vege- table grower, whether It be on a small or large scale, may sell over his "own" counter as often or In frequent as he likes.
