But Bumper Crop Not Ex
pected; Plenty of Cherries,
Van Trump Thinks
PRUNES GOOD CROP TOO
Italian Variety Will Not Be
Plentiful as Last Year; Ex
pects All Strawberries That
Can Be Marketed
So
You can hear almost anything
a ii vant to hear about the pros
per ts for the coming crops in the
Salem districts; especially the
fruit crops.
A very good authority said yes
terday 'that there will be a lot of
prunes, and he thinks there will
be plenty of Royal Ann cherries.
And. in most localities, plenty of
Bartlett pears. He said strawber
ries are late, and naturally there
cannot be looked for a bumper
crop, taking the law of averages.
Btvt a great deal, will depend on
the weather, from this time on.
Now, this authority is not guess
ing. He has examined the cherry
trees, and the prune trees, and the
pear trees. He has compared this
year with former years when there
was a good deal of rain in blos
soming time. He says that last
year the prunes were short on
blossoms. This year the trees were
literally covered with blossoms.
Another authority says there
will be plenty of prunes on the
vigorous, well cultivated trees in
most localities. There will be few
prunes on the trees that have had
" poor attention. The trees that have
not had good cultivation have been
full of thrips.
County Fruit Inspector
County Fruit Inspector Van
Trump, who hat been In- the
orchards, said last night that , be
looks for a good crop of Royal Ann
cherries In most locations. He said
no one can be certain concerning
the black cherry crop for two
weeks yet.
He said the strawberries are not
as good as he would like to report.
The patches are full of grass and
weeds, owing to the wet season,
nd it is not good to cultivate the
vines too late.
He says the petite prunes are
all right, and this seems to be the
general yerdict among fruit men.

DEMPSEY WINS

CONTROVERSY OF
FINALLY SETTLE!
Jury Returns Verdict Against
Jack Kearns in Half Million
Dollar Action
r NEW YORK. Apr. 25. (AP)
Jack Kearns, former manager of
snit for breach or contract and
damages from the former heavy
weight champion in a decision ren
dered by a Jury here tonight.
Federal Judge John C. Knox or
dered a verdict in favor of Demp
scy on all counts in Cue suit.
Judge Knox ordered the verdict
for the defendant when the jury,
after four hours and 22 minutes,
determined that a valid three year
'contract was signed between
Kearns and the former heavy
weight champion in 1923. but had
been invalidated in July of 1925
when the parties severed business
relations and settled their joint
affairs. These two questions alone
were submitted to tne Jury by tbe
court.
After summation of the cases
throughout the afternoon by Ar
thur F. Driscoll, attorney for
Dempsey, and Arthur N. ager,
counsel for Kearns, Judge John
C. Knox charged the jury to find
on but two questions of fact.
The first was to determine
whether Kearns and Denfpsey en
tered into an actual contract in
August of 1923. when Kearns al
leges the former heavyweight
champion entered into a three
year agreement with him. The sec
ond question asked whether or not
the principals in the case agreed to
end their business relations or any
contractual relations tey might
have at a conference in Los Angel
es in July of 1925.
The jury was further instructed
that a verdict of do contract in ans
wer to the first questions summar
ily endd the case in Dempsey's
favor, as would a finding. of a
final settlement in Los Angeles.
Judge Knox announced that in
the event of a verdict for Kearns,
he would determine the legality of
xiree causes in Kearns' action
which asked damages of over
$500,000 as a result of Dempsey's
fight with Gene Tunney In 1926.
Judge Knox Indicated this morn
ing that he would not allow these
causes and would restrict transac
tion to an amount between $27,
000 and $47,000, the sums receiv
ed by Dempsey for exhibition
fights in 1924 and 1925. ,

Tract; Rcplatted, Streets to
Re Reopened
Discord that threatened to pre
vent the paving of North 17th
street from Market street to con
dit's addition, evaporated this
week when it was announced that
the remonstrance filed by William
Brown had been withdrawn.
This came about, according to a
letter received by City Recorder
Mark Poulsen from Karl G. Becke,
of Becke and Hendricks, local
realtors, through the transfer of
the property on the east side of
17th abutting on the section of
the street proposed for improve
ment, to Mr. Becke.
Mr. Brown was alone in his re
monstrance, but it threatened to
be effective due to the fact that
he owned more than half of the
properly which would be required
to stand the expense of this im
provement. He owned all of the
property on the east side of 17th
in that area, and since the streets
on that side had been vacated
through his efforts several Tears
ago, his property constituted a ma
jority.
Mr. Becke announced last night
that the property has been replat
ted and will be known as the
North Seventeenth street addi
tion. The 6treets formerly vacat
ed. Norway. Madison and Grant,
will be reopened.

the report of another killing of an
American missionary by national
ists made up the sum of tragedies
as reported by dispatches from var
ious Chinese centers Wednesday.
The drive of the southern forces
has carried them another step
nearer Peking. Advices from both
Shanghai and Nanking tell of the
capture of Tsinan, capital of Shan
tung, by the forces under Feng ?u-
hsiang. Sixty thousand rifles and
110 field guns are reported to have
been seized.
City Sacked
The bandits who raided King-
men, a city of 60,000 inhabitants
n Hupeh province, were made up
of army deserters and a peasant
organization. Refugees reaching
Hankow gave appalling descrip
tions of the sacking of the town
and the massacre.
Tens of thousand of northerners
who were driven from the city of
Tsinan are trekking back along
the roads, with brigandage ram
pant. Dr. Walter F. Seymour, super
intendent of the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions hospital
at Tsining. Chantung, was shot and
killed by a Chinese soldier.
From Tokyo comes a report that
an American missionary was exe
cuted by nationalists at Yenchow

from Tsining and it is thought pos

Floyd Bennett. North Pole fly

tradition of the air.
Floyd Bennett
He died because he put the wel
fare of others before all thought
of himself and went to the aid of
airmen in distrere though he him
self was wracked with sickness.
He did not even know the men
he gave his life for, but they were
comrades of the air and so he
went to their relief despite all ob
stacle. Bennett died at 10:50 o'clock
this morning in Jeffrey Hale hos
pital of double pneumonia con
tracted after he had flown through
feverish hours from Detroit to
Lake Ste. Agnes in an effort to
carry assistance to the marooned
trans-Atlantic flyers on Greenly
Island.
He wa. brought here by air
plane from Lake Ste. Agnes on
Sunday but the most expert treat
ment failed to loosen the hold that
sickness had taken on him.
At 10 o'clock this morning, the
New York specialists who had
come to Canada to tend him an
nounced that all hope was gone.
Bennett, they said, waa in a coma
from which he would in all likeli
hood never rouse. At 10:50, with
his wife, who had herself left a
sick bed in New York to come to
him, and Commander Richard E.
Byrd, his closest friend, at his bed
side, he passed quietly away.
Everything possible was done in
the effort to save Bennett's life,
when he became so ill at Lake Ste.
Agnes that Brent Balchen. his co
pilot in the relief expedition, had
to push on without him.
The New York World arranged
for his transport to Quebec in a
news reel plane.
The New York World and the
North American Newspaper Alli
ance which sponsored the relief
expedition. , engaged Dr. A. L.
Barach, noted epecialist in the
treatment of pneumonia, to go to
Quebec with asistants and take
charge of Bennett.
