E FIRE TFILICK PLACED Thrapp and Faught Captains at 18th and State Sta tion, Announced First tangible result of the pro gram started a year ago when the rotcrs of Salem authorized a two mill annual levy for the purpose of increasing the city's fire pro tection facilities, were seen yes terday when the- first residence dis trict fire station was put -in use. A 750 gallon American La France pumper with auxiliary equipment was backed into the station at State and 18 th street and the first daycrew stationed there. Commanded by Captain Commodore Thrapp, its members are Feni more Baggett, Fred Hunt. and Walter Mills. The Bight crew which started work last night included Captain Ben Faught, Charles Faulkner, Karl Oglesby and Ralph Beard. The experienced men aside from the captains are Baggett and Faulkner. The force at the down town station has been supplement ed by the addition of John Stet ler, Paul Phillips and Charles Charlton. Phillips Is a grandson of W. H. Phillips, one of Salem's pi oneer firemen. The new East Salem fire sta tion will take care of fires in the area east of the Southern Pacific tracks, but alarms are to be tele phoned to the downtown station as in the past. Two more residence district fire stations are planned, one in North Saltm and the other in South Sa lem. Locations for them have not yet been selected definitely. The engine placed in the new East Salem station is one which the local fire department has own ed for several years. To take its place at the central station, a new Seagrave pumper was purchased by the city recently. ET Announcement was made yester day by members of the city coun cil's special committee recently appointed to confer with repre sentatives of the state fair board, that an agreement had been reached, subject to the council's approval, to transfer the present city dump property to the fair board. This tract, at the end of 17th street, will be converted into park ing space for automobiles at fair time, it was understood. The fair board plans to arrange a new en trance to the grounds at this point as 17th strtet is to be paved this summer. WILD ATTACKS UPON OFFICER ATTEMPTED He then shouted to his compan- Continued from pi-? i ion to climb out of the window. "Cet out. Kennedy." he cried. -I'll Ket this guy and follow!" "Bracelets" Forgotten Kennedy, however, remained motionless, bound to Jones by handcuffs, which Jones, in his ex citement, had forgotten. After extricating himself from the coat, Johnson lunged for his prisoner, but Jones again scoop ed up the coat and tried to throt tle his guard. At thi point the train crew interfered and. with the officer's aid. subdued the pri soner. "Life's a chance I took a chance, and lost." Thus was Jones quoted by the deputy, who ald his prisoner added that he would rather have been shot than to ko to prison. Kennedy, Johnson said, made no attempt to escape. The two men were in jail here tonight. PORTLAND GETS VALLEY BERRIES; BIG SHIPMENTS (Contioned from page 1.)

Already a committee of safety. known as the "Chinese charitable relief association," is making ar rangements for the orderly trans fer of the city. This committee is hMded bv General Wang Shin- chen. who was chairman or me committee of safety during the period between the Kuominchun evacuation of and entry of tne Mukden troops into Peking In 1926. He was minister of war in 191C and chief of general stair the following year. Though foreign residents are movinr out of Peking, only the Japanese are showing any evi dence of alarm over the coming of the nationalists. There are plenty of troops however to guard them and all other foreigners in the legation Quarter, where, if necessary, they will be concen trated. -f - London Senses Climax LONDON. June 1. (AP) The ever changing drama of the na tionalist drive on Peking, which began at Canton more than two years ago nnd has since swept steadily northward, appeared ap proaching a climax today. From Peking. Tokyo and Shang hai came advices indicating that the two year rule of Chang Tso !in, Manchurian war lord, in the historic northern capital, was reaching an end. Chang, himself, addressing diplomatic corps in the presidential palace this afternoon. aid that he expected a decisive battle to be fought at Liuliho, 35 miles southwest of Peking and as sured the gathering that every pro tective measure would be taken in behalf of foreigners in the cap ital. Held Farewell Address While he made no specific ref erence to any place that he might have for his own departure from the city for Mukden, his strong hold in Manchuria, the diplomats present generally interpreted his speech as in the nature of a val edictory. In Tokyo, in fact, his speech was interpreted as indicating that he would evacuate Peking shortly. Until the recent victories of the nationalists Chang was the most powerful of the older group of war lords in China. Originally from Manchuria, where he is said to have been a bandit chieftain, the 53 year old dictator became suc cessively -an army general, mili tary governor of Fengtien and fin ally, in 1926. master of Peking! There he was the nominal head of the Chinepe republic, the pow ers recognizing Peking as the Chi nese capital although the steady encroachments of the nationalists slowly, but surely, cut down the power and influence of the north HENRY GETS SEPARATION Detroit Millionaire Given Divorce Decree From Wife LOS ANGELES, June 1.

OF THE PEOPLE U u,iiisiwiSMir tor tats -nil nl t migmU by tte wr.fcpe. mmt k wrttW Si ! ts Review of Primary Results Editor Statesman :- The result of the recent primary election caused many surprises. No - sensible person seriously thought that Mr. Mott would make any appreciable dent ia Mr. Hawley's usual large majority. I doubt very much that Mott really entertained the idea that be would be victorious over our veteran congressman. I see that our As toria friend gives notice that he will be in the fight again two years hence. Mr. Mott is a young man of considerable ability, made spirited campaign and would prove an efficient member of con gress and may be able to unhorse the' present chairman of the ways and means committee in a score of years or more. . The race for the nomination of secretary of etate was, in fact, a Hoss race. All three candidates would fill the position with credit. Many in this county predicted the leaders would be Handley and Corey. Corey carried Marion county, as he Is well known here. It must hare been a keen disap pointment to Mr. Handley that he did not receive a much larger plu rality in Multnomah county, his own home. The success of Mr Hoss was no doubt due to the in fluence of the press ot Oregon. A majority of the papers, especially in the rural communities, were active in his support. For dele gates to the national Republican convention, no one doubted that Hal Patton would be one of the winners from this district. He re ceived the largest vote of any of the aspirants. As a candidate for any office, Hal appears to be in vincible. The whole Republican delegation of thirteen will be unanimous for the nomination of Herbert Hoover for president. Our townsmen, D. J. Fry and R. A. Harris, the latter winning by two votes, will represent the Demo cratic party of this district at the Houston convention and vote for Alfred E. Smith for the nomina tion of president. I believe if Senator Welsh of Montana had not voluntarily withdrawn his can didacy he would have had excel lent chance of becoming the choice of the Democracy of this state for the presidency. It is re grettable that Senator Joseph launched the vicious assault on Judge Rand. The Multnomah bar declared the warfare of Joseph un justifiable. It certainly did not benefit the candidacy of Judge McMahan, our present circuit judge, in his aspirations for the supreme bench. Many were the guesses concern ing the candidates for nomination for the legislature for Marlon county. . It. was generally believed in Salem that Dr. Carlton Smith would lead them all, but I notice he came out third in the list, Gou- ley and Settlemier leading him, McAllister being the fourth man. squeezing in ahead ot Mr. Paulson by only ten votes. It was a dis appointment to many Salem citi zens that Scott Page was not chosen as one of the four. Page did not receive much support in the country. Mr. Moores humor ously remarked at the last Monday meeting of the chamber of com merce that he himself was between the devil and the deep blue eea. He was opposed by the anti-prohibitionists and ignored by the Anti Saloon league. Moores should have been strongly recommended by the latter body in view of his record In behalf of temperance legislation. His failure to receive proper recognition cost him hun dreds of votes. Some people say that our excellent friends, the members of the Anti-Saloon league, acting upon political mat ters, seldom show good sense or die, the Stayton undertaker, re-! reived a rerv flattering vote In ht home town, but was not extensive-! ly known outside George Keech, the present act- iTe nd energetic mayor of Stay ton. would have polled a much heavier vote.
