Ster ling Toward Safety; Starving Crew Holds Schooner off Colombia s - ASTORIA. April 3. (AP). Her sails in tatters, rigging wreck ed and her stolid, timbered sides scarred from a bitter, racking bat tle with the elements, the four masted schooner K. V. Kruse reached quarantine here late to night. 114 days out of Adelaide, Australia. A tug had towed her in from a precarious position out side the harbor bar. It was a fearful trip, the sea men told reporters. Ill luck started in mid-ocean. A Russian sailor the men could not remember his name was lost overboard in a sudden squall. As the Kruse neared the Pacific seaboard she was caught squarely by a gale. She attempted to run before the storm, was driven out to sea, attempted again to reach chelter in Coos bay and again forced to put about. 1 Discourtesy Recounted For three weeks the 14 men and Captain Ash subsisted on the most meager rations. During the past week their food consisted almost entirely of eight pounds of rice, in tended originally for the skipper's parrot. , In the storm while off Coos bay the schooner hailed a passing tan- ker, , unidentified tonight. -.w, A signal was wnippea i me Kruee masthead. "We are short From the tanker came the words: "That is very appetizing." "We are unable to cross Coos bay," a second signal flew from the schooner. "That's too bad." The tanker signalled this and continued on her course. All spare wood aboard the ship was burned in order to obtain warmth for the half starved, ran. The end of the storm is at hand. This conclusion is based entirely on the fact that geese were seen flying north late yesterday, an indication more relied upon by old timers acquainted with the vicissitudes of Oregon ciimate than the most exact reckoning of any weather bureau official. It was about 5:45 yesterday afternoon when the first dele gation of geese was distinctly seen and heard, flying above the Polk county hills and heading straight north. The storm should have run its VALLEY LEAGUE TO ALTER SKED GAME WITH KUGKXE HERE WILL OPEN SEASON Lineup After Second Week to be Changed; too Many Succes sive Trips (Continued on pte 8.) "GRIEST POSTAGE BILL CRITICIZED Changes which are in prospect ror the Willamette Valley baseball league schedule will have no ef fect on the opening day game in Salem, which will be played here April 15 against Eugene, it was indicated by officials of the Salem club yesterday afternoon. The principal change proposed is that of switching the game be tween Albany and Bend on the same date, to Bend; partly be cause Albany's ball park will not ie in condition for fast play at that date, and partly because Bend's original request to be on ..he road the first two games, made it impossible to arrange a iat'efactory schedule. Following Monday night's meet ing at Eugene in which Manager Leo Edwards of the Salem Sena tors pointed out the schedule's weak points, league of flcials Tues day got in touch with Bend and obtained its agreement to . the l ihaiigeBead- had not sent a, rep resentative tdthi "meeting. As a result, another league meeting will be necessary before he Beason opens, and it will prob ably be held at Albany next Tues- iay night. The first week's play will be changed only in switching the Al- oany-Bend game to Bend, but the next Sunday, April 22. Salem will play at Albany. The schedule wih oe revised completely beginning with the third week. Th. original schedule was ihclved principally for the reason that it put Salem on the road four out of five succecsive Sundays, and had Wendling playing away from home three Sundays in a row.

TOO MUCH CUT OPPOSED PASSES HOUSE; MENACE TO MAIL ORDER LIBRARIES Will Make Book Service to Coun try People Prohibitive, Declared "W" Governor Patterson and 'Other state officials Tuesday sent tele- grams to Oregon's delegation in congress protesting against the so- called Grlest bill which has passed the house. ' Under the Griest bill some costs are lowered, but the cost on books sent from free libraries to patrons is doubled. The present rate on these books Is five cents for the first pound and one cent for each additional pound. The proposed rate under the Grlest bill is three cents for the first pound and two cents for each additional pound Miss Cornelia Marvin, state li brarian, in a statement given out here Tuesday said: "There are practically no ship ments from libraries of less than one pound and a half.

Where human ingen uity falls, however, the instinct of geese Is Infallible. Such is the tradition that has grown up through years of observation of the habits of these migratory birds. All day yesterday the weather seemed to be trying to reform its habits, and succeeded except for spasmodic periods when tremend ous showers or hailstorms swept the city and surrounding country Total precipitation for the 24 hour period ending at 7 o'clock last night amounted to .S3 inches, an unusually high mark even for stormy weather, yet the hours be tween showers were so bright that the local weather observer turned in a report of "clear" when he compiled his daily statistics early in the evening. Incidentally, the weather bur eau at Portland last night issued the prediction that weather today would be "generally fair." Winds, which had come from the south almost continually since the middle of March, when the storm began, yesterday had veered around and were coming from the west. The prediction for today is that they will come from the northwest, which usually means clear weather. BOOTLEGGERS ARRESTED Secretary Mellon Issues Warning That Reduction Should Xot Be Allowed to Pass $182, 000,000 Mark Two Sentenced; Tommy MrMahon Jumps Rail, Announced HICKMAN GETS 30 DAYS Both Sides Given Time to File Briefs Upon Appeal SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 3. (AP) Both the prosecution and attorneys for William Edward Hickman, sentenced to death for Che murder of Marian Parker in Los Angeles, were given 30 days to file briefs when Hickman's ap peal opened today before the state iupreme court here. Defense counsel announced the appeal would be based on conten tion that the new California in sanity law is unconstitutional for the 'following three reasons: First, because it takes away the right of the jury to determine the degree of guilt of the defendant, and also robs the jury of its right to prescribe the penalty. Second, that the age-old proce dure is reversed, in that the law takes away from the Cefendant the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. Instead forcing him to prove himself insane. Third, that the law takes away the defendant's right to a trial on the true issues of the case, and .ries him Instead for an extrane ous matter. Activities against local bootleg gers were numerous yesterday. Two were Jailed and a third for feited ball for non-appearance In Justice court to answer a charge of bootlegging. Tommy McMahon, well known in local circles, was first cited to appear Monday at 10 a. m. in jus tice court. Failing to appear, his trial was postponed 24 hours. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning he was still missing, however, and Justice of the Peace Brazier Small ordered $400 ball money forfeit ed. Gus Crate was sentenced to serve 60 days in Jail and pay a fine of $100 as punishment for hie bootlegging activities. Harry Townsend was fined $100 on similar charge. Failing to pay his fine, Townsend was committed to the county jail. WASHINGTON, April 3. (AP) Faced with a warning from Secretary Mellon that tax reduc tion must be limited probably to $182,000,000 and not more than $201,000,000, the senate finance committee started work today with some apprehension on the $290,000,000 measure passed b the house. The $182,000,000 limit must be adhered to, Mr. Mellon said. flood control legislation is enact ed. It has already passed the sen ate by unanimous vote and soon will be acted on by the house Before going to the senate, be laid the treasury position before President Coolldge, who agreed that $190,000,000 was the out side limit of reduction which the administration would sanction. Income Taxes Continue Income tax collections and other government receipts will hold up next year, on the basis of present Indications, the secretary informed the committee, but in creased expenditures necessitate a paring down of the original limi tation of $225,000,000 set by the treasury last fall. Chairman Smoot of the commit tee, leader of the republicans who have a slim majority in the tax light, accepted the figures and went a step-farther than Mr. Mel lon to point out that his program did not take Into account pros pective appropriations involved in farm relief and Boulder canyon dam legislation. Flood Control Up Mr. Mellon said that without flood control legislation which probably will require a $30,000.- 000 appropriation for next year. a total slash of $201,000,000 was possible but there seemed no SENATOR McNARY DOES NOT "SEEK" SALEM MAX XOT CANDIDATE FOR VICE PRESIDEXT Requests Campaign In This State be- Abandoned; Apprecia tion Expressed (Continued on page 8.)

(AP) The Paris Herald tomorrow will say that Leon Trotzky, deposed Rus sian leader was shot in the back by an Armenian supporter of Jo seph Stalin four days ago In a re mote section of Turkestan. The paper says ti reports of the shooting reached Paris by wire and that Trotsky's condition was stated to be desperate. Soviet au thorities are making strenuous ef forts to prevent the news from getting out. The paper does, not specify where the reports, came from nor by whom they were received and the heading of the story calls them "unauthentlcated." The Herald's story was not con firmed by any other source-- 1 How do you eat pie? He who starts with the outer rim crust and eats steadily to ward the center, is resolute and determined, but not cautious enough to ber entrusted with re sponsible duties. He who lifts the crust and in fe'pects the contents before start ing to eat, is a dilettante who probably wears gloves nearly all the time, and is supported by a widowed mother. He who eats out to the rim crust and then leaves it, is lacking in perseverance. But he who eats from the point out, including the rim crust, with gusto, and then looks around ex pectantly for more, is normal and logical in his - makeup; "he gets the job." All this was revealed by Dr. Carl G. Doney, president of Wil lamette university, in a chapel ad dress Tuesday, although he did not claim the statements as hie own observation, but as the con clusions of a man who always in vited a man to dine with him be fore employing him, and who de clared that the manner of eating pie was the surest indication ol character.

"This definite statement is ex pected to remove him from con sideration as a vice presidential candidate by party leaders as well as in the state of Oregon. "The full text of Senator Mc Xary's telegram today was as fol lows: 'Am advised that petition are being circulated to place my name on the primary ballot for vice president. I appreciate sin cerely the movement. I do not seek; indeed, I would not accept the position if It were within my grasp. Please permit me to leave the field to those who are actual candidates.
