Formalities to be Eliminated
Due to President-Elect's
Request
U. S. S. UTAH, Jan. 5. (AP)
Herbert Hoover will return to
his homeland tomorrow from his
history-making good-will tour of
Latin America upon which he em
barked from San Pedro, Cal.,
November 19.
Mr. and Mrs. Hoover will go
ashore from the Utah at Old Point
Comfort at 9:30 a. m., to board
a special train for Washington
where the president-elect will
spend a week or ten days con
ferring with party leaders regard
ing cabinet and other appoint
ments and policies of his admin
istration. this last day on the Utah was
one of ' farewells, the president
elect and Mrs. Hoover having
luncheon with senior officers in
the ward room at noon and giving
a tea by way of adieu to officers
and newspaper correspondents on
the upper deck this afternoon
Boston baked beans and brown
bread had a prominent place on
the menu of the luncheon, this
dish especially appealing to Mr.
Hoover.
Variety of Weather
Encountered by Ship
After a cloudy morning the
Utah ran into bright sunshine in
mid-forenoon with wind and sea
behind her slightly hastening her
pace. By mid-arternoon the skies
again became overcast and the
wind increased, kicking up enough
sea to give the Utah a consider
able roll and pitch but not enough
to make it uncomfortable for the
president-elect. In mid-afternoon
the big battleship was crossing the
gulf stream north of Cape Hat-
teras and was only 180 mijes from
her anchorage in the Virginia
roadstead, which will be reached
about 8 a. m.
It will require about an hour
to transfer all the baggage from
the ship to special baggage cars
On the train and tbe Hoovers wtjl
remain aboard until this is foxo
pleted but other members of the
party will land immediately after
arrival. '.
Formal Welcome
Will Be Eliminated
There will be no salutes and no
welcome by Virginia"-state off!
cials as the president-elect has
requested elimination of ceremony
at his landing.
Although the party has been
given the courtesy of the port and
was notified that no customs in
spectors will board the Utah. Mr.
and Mrs. Hoover made complete
declaration of customs manifests
of gifts and purchases in Central
and South American countries
they have visited on the tour.
Some of their gifts are almost
priceless, particularly those re
ceived in Peru and it is the pres
ent intention of Mr. Hoover to
give these either to Stanford uni
versity or some museum.

FARM LEADERS
AWAIT ARRIVAL
OF MR. HOOVER
Word Sought as to Next
President's Attitude on
McNary Measure .
Legislation Held up Pending
Conferences at Nation
al Capital
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. (AP)
Congressional leaders looked
forward today to the approaching
visit here of Herbert Hoover for
an answer as to whether farm re
lief is to be pressed at this ses
sion or deferred to the extra ses
sion promised by the president
elect.
f
Tt is the verdict of the leaders
that unless Mr. Hoover next week
gives definite word that he is for
the McNary bill now before the
senate, no legislation can be en
acted at this time and an extra
session, probably this spring, is
consequently unavoidable. They
are going to put the question to
Mr. Hoover during his stay aer.
The president-elect is under
stood to have received code mes
sages from Washington imploring
him, to indicate his wishes on the
pending farm ielief bill which has
received endorsement of the Coo
lidge administration and it is be
lieved here that he changed his
plans to go direct to Florida to
come to Washiington to confer on
this question among others.
Jones Also Requests
Postponement of Issue
As Mr. Hoover approached the
capital today, a republican stal
wart. Senator Jones of Washing
ton, issued a statement in which
he lined up with Senators Borah
of Idaho, and Brookhart of Iowa,
for a postponement of the farm
relief question to an extra session
this spring after the new admin
istration takes office.
With these three republicans,
all strong Hoover men in the
campaign, standing pat against
farm relief until the new presi
dent goes into power, leaders de
clared flatly that no farm relief
legislation would be undertaken
now unless Mr. Hoover himself
gives the word for the pending
McNary bill.

SALEM HAS FOURTH
NORTHWEST OUTPUT
Canned Goods Produced Here
Would Blake Solid Ribbon
to Missouri
Salem canneries packed over
one-fourth of the Oregon output
of canned fruits and vegetables in
1928, and the Salem district pack
ed about the same proportion of
tbe entire northwest output, ac
cording to figures made available
here Saturday. When the cold pack
totals are included, it is believed
that Salem's share will figure even
higher in the total.
Of canned fruits and vegetables
alone, the Salem canneries turned
out approximately 1,400,000 cases
whleh would amount to 33,OQ,wOO
cantv of the ordinary , size; and
these cans if placed end to end
would form a solid ribbon of can
oed goods from Salem to the Mis
souri river; would line the entire
route followed by the wagon train
that brought Oregon's early 6t
tiers.
Oregon's canned fruft and veg
etable pack amounted to 4,134,
391 cases, of which 3,706,62".
cases were of fruits. The increase
from year to year may be shown
in the fruit pack figures for the
last ten years: 1919. 1,233,735:
1923, 1,823,455; 1925, 2,077,120;
1926, 3,201,403; 1927, 2.508,245.
Salem's share of this, not
counting the plants in the adjacent
territory in 1926 was about one
million cases, and in 1927 was 1.-
100,000.
The entire northwest pack in
1928 was 8,560,785 cases, if
which 7,650,529 were fruits.
Pear 8 take first place , in Ore

Women .n Jury:
State Unwilling
Youth Believes He Can Ap
peal to Sympathy of Fair
Sex at trial
RIVERSIDE. Cal.. Jan. 6. (AP)
Special Prosecutor Loyal C.
Kelly announced today that he
will not allow women to sit on
the jury which will decide the fate
of Gordon Stewart Northcott,
whose trial for murder of three
boys at his Wineville chicken
ranch will be resumed here today.
"Sympathetic women" on the Jury
have been considered a strong
point in the defense both by Nor
bert Savay, defense counsel, and
young Northcott himself, who to
day declared he plans to assume
personal control of the court pro
ceedings Monday.
"The nature of the evidence
which it will be necessary to in
troduce during this trial is such
that I will not impose jury duty
in the case on any woman," Kelly
said. lie indicated that it a spe
cial venire of 30,' called for Mon
day, includes women he will use
his rights of peremptory challenge
iod.use mem.
Defense Not Satisfied
With Men Jurors
Savay from the start of the
trial last Wednesday continually
has voiced his dissatisfaction with
the regular panel, which, by
chance, was comprised exclusively
of men. His plans to challenge
most of the present panel, neces
sitating the calling of the special
venire, were looked upon by court
observers as constituting a defin
ite effort to obtain women jurors.
Superior Judge George R. Free
man, trial judge, today announced
appointment of Dr. Newton Evans,
nationally known pathologist of
Loma Linda, Cal., and Dr. L. D.
Whiting, noted blo-chemist of Los
Angeles to act for the court In
examination of physical evidence
which the prosecution has indicat
ed it plans to present, including
bits of alleged human hair and
bones.
Savay Requests
Appointment of Group
The naming of Dr. Evans and
Dr. Waiting completes a commis
sion of experts which was asked
by Savay.
Attorney Savay, in a later state
ment, indicated that he person
ally was willing to acquiesce in
Prosecutor Kelly's decision that
the jury would be no place for
women. He agreed with Kelly
that the evidence would be of such
a nature as to be trying to women
jurors.

CATCHING UP FlST
Arrests of motor vehicle
ers who have failed to obtaia li
cense plates for the current pear,
probably will be made witbla the
next few dSys, according ta an

It was announced by Hal Has.
secretary of state, that 65.304 sets
of license plates were issued up

is only two days behind In the is-r"
suance of plates for which appli
cations have been received, aad -
probably will be caught up with
its work early next week.
The records show that taete
were 254.410 motor vehicles reg
istered In Oregon in the year
1928. The registration for 12
probably will Increase this figure
by several thousand. The demand
for license plates showed a slight
falling off here today.
"At soon as the motor vebirle
department catches up' with Hs
work, I will noMy all police of
ficers and sheriffs in the state."

Salem offices of the motor rehiele
department and everything pos

the Issuance of license plates.
Reports received here indicated
that quite a number of cars would
not be licensed during the first
