INDUSTRIES, INC.

BY-LAWS AMENDED WITH RE
SPECT TO DIRECTORS
Progressive Policy Urged; Plan To
i Raise Membership To
Full 100
The meeting of the stockholders
of the Salem Industries, Inc., at
the Salem Chamber of Commerce
rooms last night was well attend
ed. Much more than a majority
of the stock was represented,
largely by the. stockhojders them
selves, partly by proxies.
The call was for the purpose of
amending the by-laws, primarily.
The amendment was carried;!
striking out the provision that re
quired the four banks of Salem,
specifically, to act in the capacity
of members of the board of direct
ors, in passing upon applications
or propositions for helping old in
dustries or new ones here.
It was fully brought out that
this in no way excludes bankers
as individuals being elected as di
rectors and sitting on the board in
any of lta deliberations. The
change merely absolves such indi
vidual bankers from the duty of
representing their banks In pass
ing upon such applications or prop
ositions.
For Wide Representation
A motion was made, after dis
cussion, that W. M. Hamilton act
as chairman of a committee of his
own selection, to make a slate for
Ure next annual meeting of stock
holders, murder that a wide dis
tribution of representative busi
ness lines be secured in making up
the next board of directors. The
idea that all leading lines, so far
as possible, be represented was
stressed.
To Push Organization
There was a general expression
to the effect that the organisation,
secured originally for the purpose
of getting new Industries in Salem,
and to help deserving struggling
ones now here, should function
100 per cent, and should be active
in this kind of work.
The fact was brought out that
the full quota of 100 stockholders
of the organization has not - yet
been signed up; that -the number Is
now 72. The general opinion of
those present was that the number
should be brought up to 100, and
several of those present said they
believed this might be speedily
done, by the proper work. This
work will likely now be enlisted.
The meeting was a representa
tive one of many lines of activity
in Salem, and there is reason to
believe that the organization will
soon be active in doing the things
that were intended to be done at
the inception.

ROME, Feb. 27. (AP) Aus-
tro-Itallan tension over the
speeches of the Austrian chancel
lor. Max Seipel and other criti
cizing the Italian regime in the
upper Adige, southern Tyrol, was
somewhat lessened during' the day
owing to the fact that Premier
Mussolini decided not to address
the chamber of deputies on the

The protest by Tyrolese depu

Mussolini decided to have the
whole situation placed before him
by the Italian minister, Giacinto

pronouncement.
Some of the afternoon news

FLAY IMMIGRATION CURB
Restrictions to Mexican Labor Op
posed by Employers
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. (AP)
A barrage of objections to re
striction on Mexican immigration
as proposed in the Box-Harris
bills was laid down today by op
ponents of the measures In both
the senate and the house. The pro
tests came from farmers and
ranchers of Texas, California and
Wyoming.
On .the. other .hand a letter from
F: R Buxham, a California cotton
grower, reached the house immi
gration committee urging enact
ment of the legislation with the
declaration that when the Mexican
labor supply was cut off he expect
ed to be more successful through
the use of white labor than at pres
ent with Mexican workers. He said
the same arguments were used sev
eral years against the Japanese ex
clusion act that now were being
used against the Box bill..
Under existing conditions, Ralph
H. Taylor of Sacramento, said the
farmers of southern California
were able to grow perishable' fruits
and vegetables which in no way
added to the agricultural surplus.
A change, Taylor argued, would
menace American agriculture by
forcing farmers who are giving
their attention to the production of
perishables to join the ranks of
staple products. -

COUNTRY'S DRY
Meeting of Prohibition Lead
ers Held In Washington
D. C. Today
SHOWDOWN TO BE ASKED
Senator Borah of Idaho Announ
ces He Will Carry Fight Into
Republican Convention at
Kansas City
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27 (AP)
The groundwork for an Intensive
campaign to put both the repub
iican ana democratic parties on
record for rigorous prohibition
enforcement will be laid here to
morrow at a one day conference
In which representatives of thirty
or more national temperance or
ganizations will participate. A
demand also is to be made that
that the nominees for the presi
dency and vice presidency must
be men in sympathy with such a
program.
Arrangements for the meeting
called for expressions from dry
leaden who have been active In
protestant. Catholic and Jewish
church affairs and for adoption
Of resolutions calling for specific
prohibition planks in both party
platforms.
Borah to Cooperate
In their efforts to get such a
commitment from the republicans,
those who will confer here to
morrow will have the active co
operation of Senator Borah, re
publican, Idaho. He disclosed to
day that he would carry the fight
for a dry law enforcement plank
Into the Kansas City convention
itself.
Mr. Borah is expected to head
the Idaho delegation to the con
vention and probably will be a
member of the resolutions com
mittee as he was in 1924 In this
event he would be in a position
to fight before the committee for a
prohibition plank and to work
against any attempt to cover the
situation with a general law en
forcement declaration as was done
four years ago.
The Idaho senator, who has
been indorsed for the presidency
by the republicans of his state is
non-commltal whether he would
carry his prohibition fight to the
floor if he loses out in the reso
lutions committee. He plans
prior to the convention to set out
on a speaking tour in the middle
west and may deliver some ad
dresses in the east.

SCIENTISTS SCOUT CLAIMS OF
YOUXG INVESTOR
Head of Hochstetter Laboratories
Declares Machine Nothing
But Generator
PITTSBURGH, Pa.. Feb. 27.
(AP). F. W. Hochstetter of the
Hochstetter research laboratories
here, today declared the "fuel
less" motor of Lester J. Hender
shot, 29 year old West Elisabeth
Pa., Inventor, was a "generator
and not a motor at all."
Hochstetter, who said he had
negotiated with Hendershot on
"what, from newspaper reports
appears to 'have been the same
thing he is now trying to pro
mote," asserted "it doesn't take
electricity from the air It gets
its electricity from a concealed
carbon pencil battery."
Hochstetter exhibited models of
what he claimed were early mo
dels of the Hendershot motor and
said the current was supplied from
cells, and in one instance from
the current in a house.
Hendershot, queried on Hoch-
stetter's statement, said he could
not "understand what Hochstetter
has in mind.'
Explanation Offered
"Of course, I had pencil cells
in these things I was experi
menting- with another affair an
effort to take electricity from the
air. And I still believe I actually
did take some power from the air,
but it had no practical use. Why,
I even dated the pencil cells to see
how long they would last,"
Asked about the house current.
Hendershot laughed and replied:
"That's a joke on Hochstetter.
suspected tampering with my
model in my laboratory. I thought
some one was trying to discover
the principle of the thing rand I
decided to put something there
for them to find to lead him away
from the real idea I was working
with.
"If Hochstetter charge of
fraud is authentic why did he
wait three years to bring It up?"
asked Hendershot.
interior Motive Disclaimed
The laboratories man said he
was "making this statement sole
ly In the interest of the public
and eo as not to discourage legiti
mate inventors who might be
working along the same lines; we
have no financial Interest In the
machine."
Discussing the comment of
scientists who have said there was
not even enough electricity in the
air to light an electric lamp, Hen
dershot declared he did not claim
to take electricity from the air.

where the train was halted.
Whole Plan Bared
An elaborate system of tele
phone wire tapping, installed with
special switchboard in a down

vealed the entire plot to the potion.
It enabled them also to raid the

band. Just after he had in dcapor- .
ation, telephoned to other mesa-'

The police said the wire tapping
system permitted them to hear
