One of Worst Storms in His
tory of State Sweeps
Across Urge Area
Tremendous Loss Feared as
Result of Intense Cold
and Driving Snow.
CHEYENNE. Wyo.. April
(AP) Cheyenne tonight was lso-;
lated by one of the worst blizzards
In the history of this state. Hear?
swirling- snowflakes, driven by a
high wind, brought with them a
threat of destruction more serious
than that wrought by the storm
of May, 1S27, which claimed eight
liTes, caused tremendous stock
loss and heavy property damage.
Telephone and telegraph lines
were down In eTery direction in
and out of the state and radio
communication was impossible be
cause of the failure of electrical
power. Stockmen were anxiously
awaiting the repair of communica
tion systems to learn what loss to
stock had resulted, while friends
and relatives of persons stranded
in automobiles and busses on the
' highways were apprehensive that
the marooned motorists might be
added to the state Btorm casualty
list.
Train Service Is
Crippled, Word
Train service except on short
run wae at a standstill. All
highways were blocked, schools
were closed, and auto travel in
the downtown streets of Cheyenne
was almost impossible.
Six hundred telephones were
out of order in Cheyenne, and the
city faced a night of darkness be
cause of the failure of electric
current and because service had
been cut off In some parts of the
town where live wires were on the
ground and house tops. Power
was cut off to avert possibility of
people coming in contact with the
wires.
Inter-state busses were unac
counted for and automobiles were
known to be stalled, on the high
ways in many parti of the state.
Throughout the day men fought
their way through the huge drifts
of blinding snow to Cheyenne to
obtain shoes, clothing and food
for their wives and children suf
fering In stalled cars near the city.
A heavy loss of new born lambs
and calves was believed certain by
stockmen. Lambing was in pro
gress when the storm gripped the
state today.
Storm Freakish As
Well As Unexpected
The blizzard was as freakish as
unexpected. A heavy rainfalr
Tuesday night equivalent to 18
inches of snow preceded the snow.
Lightning and the roar of thunder
ceased only a few minutes before
the heavy flakes began to fall.

Cost of Health Service
Small Compared With Its

Continuation of the health su

The present cost to the county.
Including cities and school dis

NEW YORK, April 24. (AP)
Trade problems and new poli

Newspaper Publishers association
today at the opening of its 43rd
fannual convention at the Waldorf-
Astoria hotel.
After hearing an opening ad
dress by President Edward H.
Butler of Buffalo, the publishers
attended two closed sessions to
hear committee reports.
President Butler urged the
members to pay close attention
especially to reports of the fed

which is expected to be the high
spot of the convention.
Other committee reports In

FRANCE, ITALY
L PARITY
Problem Looms as Possible
Stumbling Block to Dis
armament Meet
Mussolini Determined. to Put
His Country on Equality
With Rival Nation
GENEVA, April 24. (AP)
The problem of naval parity be
tween France and Italy tonight
loomed out as a reef which might
imperil the success of any five
power naval conference to reduce
armaments.
Premier Mussolini is represent
ed here as firm as a rock in de
manding parity for Italy with
France, both on land and sea,
while France apparently fails to
see fhe Justice of such demands.
France thinks that her commun
ications with ber extensive colon
ial possessions and her mainland
open to two oceans are sufficient
reasons for her having naval forc
es superior to Italy's.
This problem of satisfying Italy
at least on paper, is worrying del
egates to the preparatory disarm
ament commission. Some are be
ginning to wonder whether a real
advance on the naval problem
could not best be made by estab
lishing first of all an understand
ing between the United States and
Great Britain.
French Enthusiastic
About Gibson's Speech
The Associated Press correspon
dent has received the impression
that France would place no ob
stacle in the way of such a pre
liminary understanding, provided,
it did not affect her position in
relation to other continental pow
ers. A high French authority voic
ed tonight enthusiastic approval
of the speech of Hugh S. Gibson
Monday because it gave a magnif
icent Impetus to reduction in arm
aments as a whole.
This personality explained that
France desired to hasten general
reduction in armaments and hoped
that delegates would even be able
to submit a draft treaty to the
September assembly of the league
of nations, thus permitting an in
ternational conference by 1930.
This would involve a second ses
sion of the preparatory disarma
ment commission during the pres
ent summer, until, which time he
thought the naval question had
better be adjourned.

III GOD OF SPINOZA
NEW YORK, April 24. (AP)
Professor Albert Einstein, whose
theory -of relativity was said by
Cardinal O'Conneil of Boston to
be a cloak for atheism, reveals
himself as a believer in "the God
of Spinoza" in a radio message
made Jublic today by Rabbi Her
bert S. Goldstein, its recipient.
The message read: "I believe
in Spinoza's God, who reveals him
self in the orderly harmony in be
ing, not in God who deals with the
fates and actions of men."
Einstein's radiogram was in
reply to a question from Rabbi
Goldstein as to his belief in God.
Rabbi Goldstein observed that
Spinoza was called "the god-Intoxicated
mas."
"Spinoza saw God manifest In
all nature," Rabbi Goldstein said.
"He certainly could not be called
an atheist, Einstein in his positive
acceptance of God surely cannot
be classified as an atheist, or evea
as an agnostic"

fourth year of existence is report

Estella Ford Warner, director, in
the annual report for the year
1929 which was released Wednes
day from the health center here
"One of the hopeful develop

derstanding and support is the
trend of organization taken by the
Marion county public health unit
association," the report states, re
ferring to combination of top-
heavy organizations into one ef
fective group. The combine in
cludes the former Marion county
public health association, a local
group representing the state Tu

small, effective committees were
organized in 11 centers which

The report contains 168 pages,

A total of 4,263 individuals

UP 111 COURT HERE
Circuit Judge L. H. McMahan
took under advisement the city of
Salem's demurrer to Paul Burris'
injunction suit which seeks to pre
vent local police from seizing his
automobile for violations of the
overtime parking ordinance, after
arguments were beard on the de
murrer Wednesday. No opinion
on the validity of the ordinance
was given, contrary to the impres
sion gained by many persons read
ing an account of the hearing in
the afternoon paper.
The judge informally advised
Burris that a replevin action
would have been more appropri
ate, to which Burris replied that
such a step would not serve the
ends he sought, namely to test the
validity of the parking rules. Even
it he regained possession of the
automobile by replevin, the city
could seize it again to enforce pay
ment of fines for the numerous
overtime parking tags placed in
it by the police, he declared.
Fred Williams, city attorney,
claimed in support of the demur
rer that the equity court had no
jurisdiction over the suit, and that
sufficient cause of action had not
been set forth in Burris' com
plaint. Williams has prepared a
brief citing authorities in support

Mickenham pleaded guilty to a

Blossom Day
To be Ideal
Is Prediction
Next Sunday will be almost an
ideal Blossom Day, local nature
lovers declared after a survey
Wednesday in which it appeared
that the several varieties of blos
soms by Sunday will be as near
the peak of their display as could
be expected In this season of con
tradictions..
Cherry and pear blossoms will
be just a trifle past their best
showing, but the prune blossoms
will not have reached the maxi
mum appearance, it was predicted.
In addition to the orchard
blooms, much interest is exhibited
by Blossom Day tourists each
year in the tulip farms. The most
extensive of these is the bulb
farm of the Salem Bulb company,
of which W. C. Dibble Is the head.
This farm, fortunately for
Blossom Day travelers. Is close
to the city and on the regular
tour, lying to the left of Wallace
Road just beyond the bridge in
Polk county. It contins ten
acres of bulbs, with unusual ar
rangements and many new var
ieties. The tulips will be close to
their best appearance Sunday.
Another farm worth visiting to
see the tulip display, is that of
Luther J. Chapin on Mission Bot
tom.
Many other spring flowers will
add to the Interest in the Blossom
Day itinerary.
The Salem chamber of com
merce is interested in obtaining
new photographs of the orchards
near Salem in full bloom, and any
amateur photographers who take
good pictures on Blossom Day are

Although criminals of all sorts

the bombs, who police said, was a
"master bomber," and for the
gangsters who killed Morris Fuer

their own forces.
Although the bomb blasts dam
