HEARINGS FOR
i MELLON URGED
Modern Woodmen Finish
State Meeting With Big
Initiation Ceremony Here
Full Round of Argument Pro
voked When New Sugges
tion is Advanced
WASHINGTON. May 2 (AP)
Suggestions for an open hear
ing on Mr. Mellon's right to serve
as secretary of the treasury pro
voked a new round of discussing
In the senate judiciary committee
today but without results.
The question of procedure was
raised after the recent introduc
tion by Senator Walsh, democrat.
Montana, of a deposition made by
Mr. Mellon in which he testified
as to his relations with the aluminum-
company of America. The
dispute as to the propriety of Mel-
TorrT"servin has revolved around
an old statute which forbids the
secretary of the trea?ury to be di
rectly or indirectly interested in
carrying on trade or commerce.
Mr. Mellon has informed tjhe com
mitee that he is a stockholder In
various enterprises.
Ijw Violated
X orris Declared .
Because he is a stockholder.
Chairman Norrls says Mellon is
serving in violation of the stat
ute. It was argued by some com
mittee members that the sole duty
of th committee is, to decide
whether Mr. Mellon as a stock
holder comes within the scope of
the prohibitive statute.
Then Senator Walsh introduced
the deposition given by Mr. Mel
lon and showing his interests in
th Aluminum company while he
was secretary of the treasury.
Senator Borah, republican Ida
ho, (s one of those who maintain
that this brings up a question on
on the observance of the law, and
if it is to be pursued it should be
done openly with full opportunity
for the secretary to be heard.
Ijw Suit Testimony
Brought In Ky Walsh
The deposition disclosed by Sen
ator Walsh was one taken from
The Modern Woodmen of Amer
ica wound up their quadrennial
Oregon state camp in Salem
Thursday night with degree work
at the- Fraternal Temple, a large
class coming from all parts of the
WiKamette valley being initiated.
In addition to the delegates from
nearly al of the 100 local camps
in Oregon, who were here for the
banquet Wednesday night and the
business meeting Thursday, many
Woodmen from nearby cities at
tended the initiation Thursday
night.
Mr. Melon in a law suit last sum
mer about the acquisition by the
Aluminum company of America
of a Canadian power development
from the tobacco Interests. In that
deposition, Mr. Mellon told of a
conference at his home here In
1925 with Mr. Duke about the
Canadian power proposition.
Asked in the deposition about
his interests in the Aluminum
company, Mr. Mellon said:
Claims He's Been Out
Of Touch Two Decades
"I should say for over 20 years
at least I have not been in touch
with tha affairs of the business
(of the Aluminum company).
Other than occasionally seeing
Davis when something would ocme
up in conversation.
"But I was not generally con
sulted. Of course, if there was any
thing, of importance in the way of
policy or something that way I
think I usually was, I was talking
now of In the last 20 years."
"Did your brother continue so
far as you observed in active par
ticipation In the affairs of the
company or care of details?" Mel
lon was asked in the deposition.
"No to an extent he was fa
miliar with what was going on but
he was not at all active In the af
fairs of !the company," he replied.
Mr. Mellon also went to Can
ada In 1925 In his interest as a
stockholder regarding the Duke
transaction.
-William -Hareombe of Dallas
was elected consul of the state
state camp at the Thursday morn
ing session, and J. A. Wright of
Salem was reelected stats clerk.
Ia accordance with regulations
previously adopted, the state camp
will be held In Salem hereafter,
sessions being at intervals of four
years.
Delegates chosen to attend the
head camp at Chicago in' Jons,
were Stanley Crimp of Multnomah
county, Floyd D. Moors of polk
county, Henry Wendt of Lake
county and J. R. Reel of Hood
River county. Alternates were B.
F. Volts of Multnomah, M. H.
Kendall of Yamhill, George F.
Hoover of Deschutes and William
Grenbemmer of Jackson.
Following the close of Thurs
day's business meeting, the dele
gates were taken on a sglhtseelng
tour through Salem and the sur
rounding country. Cars for this
trip were arranged by the Salem
chamber of commerce. The busi
ness sessions of the convention
were held at the chamber of com
merce auditorium.
Kay Thinks Two
Women Can Live
As Cheap As One
In a statement made Thursday,
Bernard Kay, Salem merchant, de
clared ft was his opinion that two
people can live as cheaply as one
providing the two persons were
women. "They can share the
same room and in the present di
eting craze, it costs no more for
two than formerly was required
by one," Kay stated. "As to
clothes." concluded Kay. "ws be
lieve that values now are so rea
sonable that the two-for-one rule
can apply here also."

MUM
E
STATUTE ittickeo
A referendum oetitlon attack-
ipg the Multnomah county circuit
fudge law enaeted at the 1929
legislative session, was filed In the
state department here Thursday.
The petition was filed by George
Bylander and C. E. Teager, both
of Portland.
The referendum will be state
wide In scope and will not be
limited to the voters of Multno
mah county, as Indicated in some
press reports. This was announc
ed by the attorney general. The
secretary of state asked the attor-
. t
ney general whether the prelimin
ary petition should be accepted by
his department or be tiled with
the county clerk of Multnomah
county. The secretary of state
was advised to accept and file
the petition.
The completed petitions for the
referendum must be filed in the
state department by June 4 In
case the measure is referred to
the voters at the general election
next year. The petitions will be
circulated by Mr. Bylander, at
soon as the attorney general has
completed the ballot title.
While here Thursday, Mr. By
lander Informed officials that an
effort probably will be made to
recall Gas C. Moser. Henry Cor
bett and J. O. Bailey, members
of the state senate from Multno
mah county. Bylander refused to
divulge the names of the persons
behind the recall movement.
Bylander said that the recall.
If tiled, would be based on the
refusal of the three senators to
vote for the Burdick home rule
telephone bill. The bill passed
the house at the 1929 legislative
session, but was defeated in the
senate.
Senator Milton Klepper of Mult
nomah county also voted against
the home rule telephone bill, but
the referendum will not be direct
ed at him for the reason that he
is not a hold over senator. Moser
and Corbett were reelected at the
last general election. Bailey la
a new senator.

"The science of ministering to

over the world made necessary by
the constantly increasing demand
for the best in hospital service.

dous rate. The standardised hos

News from Washington that
"experts differ over farm bill

And how could they qualify as
experts unless they differ? Sagi
