A dozen men and women, apparently members of the church anti-Dyer faction, aid ed the officers. The ' ejection of the pastor's furniture and clothing was the sequel of yesterday's court action, which virtually terminated a fight of nearly a year, waged by Dr. Dyer to. retain his pastorate and control of the church against the opposing and .finally successful faction. A superior court order was issued giving possession o$ the church and parsonage to the, anti-Dyer faction. A previous order had enjoined Mr. Dyer from further occupation of the church pulpit. When the deputies first arrived at the parsonage early today they found the ousted pastor still abed When handed the writ of posses sion, he said: 'I'll pay no attention to that. Get out of "here, please, at least until I get up."5 He Indicated he bad no concern over the officers' announcement that they intended moving his things onto the street, saying he would be busy on a trip to Claremont for a conference." The parsonage was locked when the officers returned nearly two bourse later and they forced two doors to accomplish the removal. Many Stations Will Broadcast Smith's Speech NEW YORK. Oct. 11.

RECENTLY there have come to the New Oregon States man complaints from, a num ber of citizens who felt that they have been treated unfair ly by Salem traffic policemen. Some of these persons assert that they hare been given no chance to comply with the law but have been ordered into court and fined in a highhanded way. They are inclined to be lieve; that discrimination is be ing shown against them and that traffic policemen "play favorites." Especially do they claim that their treatment In connection with the lighting L law has been unfair; that they are noi given ine opportunity to have their headlights sup plied with new bulbs out. In order to find out wheth er this Bentiment or belief is prevalent a number of Salem residents were asked about it Thursday. This is what .they said: R. E. JOHNSON, of Flake's Petland, said: "I am one of the victims. I have been held up re peatedly by the sfne policeman who searches myear and seems to think I am a bootlegger. One night recently, one of my headlights failed in front of my place. Before I could get to a place where they sell bulbs this policeman arrested me. If - he had followed me half a block he would have seen me buy a bulb and put it in my headlight. I think I have a real grievance when ; the old ones burn and there are others who think R. D.

Hansbrough of North Dakota Informing him that .neither the map of his company nor the map of Jesus Jiminez gives any basis for Hansbrough's .state ment that Herbert Hoover owned large oil land concessions in Co lombia and Mexico. The statement was made in an address delivered by the former senator In Minneapolis yesterday, "The map of this company, to which ex-Senator Hansbrough re fers," Mr. Wells said, "gives ab solutely no basis for any- such ridiculous statements as he has made. Nor does the map of Jesus Jiminez, which I have seen and which anyone may consult in the map room of the Cengessional Library, Washington. "As for those obscure reviews which the senator further lists as 'source references,' two of them, I happen to know, went out of business by court order of liquid ation three or four years ago." "I have been for many, years engaged in the publication of oil maps of Colombia and of other South American, countries and in the negotiation and sale of mining properties in those countries.
