AGAIN ACTIVE
Bullish Operations Carry
Sales Past 4,000,000
Mark, Report Says
- NEW YORK. April 23 (AP)
Aggressive bullish operations
on the stock market carried the
volume of sales across the 4,000,.
000 share mark for the first time
In three weeks today, but the for
ward movement once more ran
Into the stone wall of scarce
money, and had some difficulty in
scaling this reemingly permanent
obstacle.
While there has been a gradual
easing of credit in the past week,
call money still remains tight, and
the federal reserve authorities are
still believed to be earnestly work
ing to keep it so. The renewal
rate today was again 1 per
cent, but with the increasing de
mands of the market, the rate
mounted to 8 by early afternoon
the first upward revision in just
a week. Calling of loans was
light, amounting to about $15,
000,000. The federal reserve's
condition report of weekly report
ing member banks, showing a de
cline of only $25,000,000 in loans
on securities, was not particularly
pleasing.
Day's News Fosters
Bullish Tendency
Save for the apparent collapse
of the reparations conference, the
day's news was generally of a
bullish influence. U. S. Steel pro
duction was said to have been
again stepped up to practical ca
pacity. Johns and Laughlin de
clared an extra dividend of $1 a
share. Adams Express cut a $4,
000.000 melon through an offer
of rights. Pierce Arrow showed a
remarkable recovery in its first
quarter report, with profits of
1448,531 in contrast to a loss of
$359,763 in the first quarter of
last year.

France and Italy
Both -Very Ambitious
In Tlew of what the press calls
rivalry between France and Italy
for sea power and of their alleged
common desire to possess a con
siderable number of cruisers, de
stroyers and submarines, observ
ers forecast that there can be no
question of their accepting for
these types of ships the tonnage
ratio which was fixed at the
Washington conference for battle
ahips and aircraft carriers.
Rather is it deemed likely that
France and Italy would desire
something more nearly approach
ing parity with the United States
and Great Britain. The Washing
ton ratio for big fighting ships
was 5-5-3 for the United States,
Great Britain and Japan, and 1.
75 for France and Italy.
As for the suggestion that the
size of battleships be reduced
from 85.000 tons to 30,000, the

"Pinafore," the name by which

OF DRY LI TRIED
TACOMA, April 23. (AP)
Sheriff E. P. Frederickson of Wah
kiakum counyt, who is jointly In
dicted with Edgar Ellis and B. E.
Day, faced Judge Edward E. Cush
man in the federal court here to
day on a charge of conspiracy to
violate the national prohibition
act, to which they have entered
a plea of not guilty. All three men
are of Cathlamet, Wash. Freder
ickson is the third southwest
Washington sheriff, within two
years, to stand trial under laws
which it was his duty to enforce.
The task of selecting a Jury was
started shortjy before noon. Prior
to the selection of the tentative
Jury, Judge Cushman denied a mo
tion to suppress the evidence.
The indictment against Freder
ickson charges a general conspir
acy to violate the national prohi
bition act in Wahkiakum county
and the specflci transportation of
95 gallons of moonshine whiskey
on March 4.
At the time the Indictment was
made public Sheriff Frederickson
charged the whole affair as a
"frame up," with Jealousy and the
underlying motive. He said when
he and Sheriff Slusher, of Clatbo
county, Oregon, raided a still on
Columbia river island the officers
were unable to take all the con
fiscated liquor with them so he
and Ellis returned and at high
tide went to the Island and took
the liquor, turning it oyer to the
Oregon sheriff the next day.

Continued from Page 1.)
Probably the biggest bombshell
of the entire meeting came when
Superintendent Hug asked for a
raise of $50 a month. Some mem
bers of the board reflected this
was too much, but after cor--deration
of the fact that . Hug had
served eight years with neither an
offer nor a request for a raise and
that in addition to his progressive
educational program he had "man
aged some delicate situations for
the board," he was given a two
year contract at a salary of $4200,
plus $300 traveling expenses.
Heretofore, the Salem superin
tendent has been the lowest paid
in the state, size of school consid
ered. In the eight years he has
been here, school enrollment has
increased 51 per cent.
U. S. Dotson, principal of Park
and for 20 years a member of the
Salem school system, consented to
be and was transferred to high
school staff as a member of the
commercial faculty. Dotson Is a
wonderful teacher and will make
a needed addition to the commer
cial course, the superintendent
asserted in characterizing the
change as a real promotion. Other
transfers included that of Cather
ine SImms from the Grant special
room to Parrish Junior high: Lois
Tipton from Richmond to Parrish
junior high; and Lillian Davis,
from Parrish junior high to the
senior high school.
Teachers whom the new slate

Loan will continue Smith-Hughes
work In Medford next year and
whose position will be most hard
to fill, the superintendent told the
board. Resignations, approaching
marriage and study for 'an advanc

sences. Miss Carlotta Crowley was re
elected elementary supervisor;
Mrs. Blanche Isherwood, secretary
to the superintendent; and W. H

judge on the superior bench of
Los Angeles and had considerable
Influence with Asa Keyes," Los
Angeles district attorney at the

That he planned the "Miss X"

Receipt of Check
With the $2500 "love gift"
check again in his hands. Judge
Hardy recounted from the witness
stand how he received it, the dis
cussion that took place between
himself and Mrs. Kennedy, over
the word "legal" marked on the
attached voucher.
Constantly fumbling with the
slip of yellow paper that caused
his present predicament, the judge
told the senate he was given the
check just before going on a va
cation, Mrs. Kennedy wanted him
to have a "real vacation" and pre
sented it to him "purely out of
friendship" and because he had
never received anything in recog
nition of the services he had ren
dered, the witness said.
J. W. "Brother" Arthur, An
gelus temple bookkeeper, was re
sponsible for the ffbrd "legal" ap
pearing on the voncher, Mrs. Ken
nedy was quoted as replying,
when Judge Hardy objected to
accepting it with any understand
ing that it was for legal services.
Mrs. Kennedy then suggested
she would go to another bank,
draw the money and present it to
him in cash but he declined her
offer and accepted the check, he
said, depositing it to his account
in his own bank, "after it was un
derstood that the check was not
in payment for legal service."

Woman Told Sunstroke
Causes Husband's Death
The widow of Norweb, a re
tired lace merchant, was the first
In the families of those who died
on the ship to be reached for com
ment. She said she was notified
a month ago that her husband
had died of sunstroke following a
fainting spell which the ship's
doctors attributed to the heat.
She was at first outspoken In
her comment on the report, but
later asked that she be not quoted
as voicing any criticism as she had
merely expressed her personal
opinion In the stress of emotion.
She said that her son, Raymond
Henry Norweb, who is first sec
retary of the embassy at The
Hime. would meet the steamer at
Southampton t get full details ofl
his father's death.
The Hst of dead given -out at
Montreal gave Norweb's address
as Roslyn, N. J., but this was an
error. The Norweb home Is In Ros
lyn. N Y.
- "We were notified that he had
died of sunstroke." Mrs. Norweb
said, "but we are not satisfied.
Something must have been wrong.
There must have been gross neg
ligence somewhere."
Mrs. Norweb said that, beyond
the announcement that he had
died of sunstroke following a
fainting spell, she had received
little Information about her hus
band's death.
"We have been trying for a
month to get the details, but have
not been successful." she said.
"I cannot understand it at all.
Mr. Norweb was In good health
when he left on the trip, and he
would not have been so foolish as
to sit out in a tropical sun on the
deck until he had a sunstroke.
We are still waiting word as to
the details."
In addition to his widow and his
son at The Hague, Norweb is sur
vived by another son, John Hor
ace Norweb, of New York.-
