Walter Hagen had a wonderful
game of golf today with the Prince

The pro from the United States

Hagen and Boomer smilingly
denied a facetious suggestion that
they had been "kidnaped" when
they were taken out to play the
prince, but their disappearance
from a big hotel on the stand had
all the trappings of a sensational
disappearance, engineered in dark

Co-ed Found
Real Logger
Upon Water
One real "co-ed logger" emerg
ed out of an octette of plucky as
pirants when Willamette univer
sity mermaids competed in a log
rolling contest on the Willamette
river while students in canoes and
rowboats shouted encouragement
and both action and sound were
recorded by a Fox Movietone ma
chine which was being used for
the first time in Oregon. A large
crowd lined the river bank to
watch the contest.
The girl who rode the slippery
log fciiccessfuly through a half
dozen trials while her less sure
footed companions plunged re
peatedly into the water, was Miss
Isabelle Morehouse, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. W. G. Morehouse of
this city. - On the log first used,
two feet in diameter, she kept
her balance throughout all of the
trials; but in a final trial on a
stiir smaller log, against her sis
ter Margaret who was runner-up.
she took a ducking like the rest.
Following the log rolling con
test, the freshmen-sophomore tug
of war of last week was re-enact-
I ed at the stream immediately be
low the Kay mill. Despite rumors
that were circulated to the' effect
that the sophs would gain re
venge for their defeat of last
week, the freshmen had no
trouble in pulling their opponents
into the stream. The pull which
was to have been a four-minute
affair, lasted only a minute and a
half.
The girls' tumbling teams were
more evenly matched for their
pull, and it was only after three
desperate attempts that the up
perclass team was victorious.
Cameramen were well pleased
with the results of their work, it
was stated.

Officials Declare
Theory of Escape From His
Enemies Scouted by All
Who Know Facts
PHILADELPHIA, May 18.
(AP) It became known today
that "Scarface Al" Capone, man
of affairs in Chicago's underworld,
sentenced to prison for a year for
carrying a loaded pistol In this
city, made desperate efforts
through his attorneys to save him
self from going to prison, or fail
ing that to have the court give
him a short sentence.
The court refused to grant any
leniency and treated him and his
bodyguard exactly as it bad been
treating other offenders of the
law, convicted of carrying con
cealed deadly weapons.
Judge John E. Walsh, of the
criminal division of the municipal
court, said he did not take serious
ly the opinion held In some quar
ters that Capone walked into a
police trap to save himself from
rival gangsters.
Capone Treated like
Ordinary Criminal -
"The case of Capone was hand
led like any other case," said the
Judge. "Before he and Cline were
placed on trial, I had sentenced
two other men for the same of
fense and each was given the max
imum prison sentence, one year."
Bernard L. Lemisch, who, with
Cornelius Haggarty, Jr., repre
sented the gangsters revealed that
he had made proposals to Judge
Walsh for liberty or for leniency
before Capone and Cline had en
tered their pleas of guilty.
"Judge Walsh would not con
sider anything but the maximum
sentence: I had to bow to his
Judgment," Lemisch said.

John Creedon, the two Philadel
phia detectives who "spotted" the
two Chicago gangsters in the the

The kiddies'll have something

and tomorrow: for the big top has
made its periodical visit, folded its
canvas and slipped, not so noise

Yesterday was circus day, and
while Henry Ford has made his
impression on the big top even to
the extent of the funny driverless

the real wallop out of animals, and
acrobats, and more more animals.
If you don't believe it, try sitting
along with 'em.
For, somehow, the kids don't
seem to worry themselves about
what's going on in the other two
rings; they get their rapt eyes
glued on the things nearest at
hand generally speaking at the
kick they get out of looking at
that, whether monkeys, horses,
elephants, clowns, tigers, dogs,
pretty girls, Hons, dwarfs, sebras,
parrots or what not. The glitter
of decorations; the incessant
poundings of the band, the rattle
of chains and clang of workman
they're all a part of the circus
and kids, whether old or young,
had their fill yesterday.

Garage For
State Cars
Projected
Reports that certain state em
ployes are using state-owned au
tomobiles for private purposes,
has caused Hal E. Hoss, secretary
of state, to advocate the erection
of a state garage near the pres
ent group of state buildings in Sa
lem. The proposal will be placed
before the state board of control
at its next meeting.
Under the plan proposed by the
secretary of state all state-owned
cars would be housed in- the gar
age at night unless out of the city
on official business. Mr. Hoss
said it was his opinion that such
an Innovation on the 'part of the
state would save the taxpayers a
large amount of money annually.
Many of the state-owned cars
are now housed in private gar
ages, with the result that they are
used by state employes while not
engaged In official business.

there is no advantage in retting

The Al O. Barnes circus, when

fact in Itself is Interesting, but
there Is something about it of still

The mother tiger in captivity

The tiger puppies will never

their new mother is richer' than

Important Business Will Be
Faced at Meeting To
morrow Night
Issue on Water and Power
Rights Will Come Up
for Decision
More Important business thna
has faced the city council in manv
months, is due to come up for
consideration Monday night. The
principal Issues are:
1. Decision on maintaining or
abandoning the city's protest
against water and power filings
of the Northwest Power company
In the Marion lake district.
2. A hearing at which the Oregon-Washington
Water Service
company has been asked to show
cause why its franchise should not
be revoked.
S. Final disposition of an or.
dinance bill granting the Southern
Pacific Motor Transport company
a new franchise for bus service on
Salem's streets.
Final Disposition of
Issues Yet Uncertain
What the council is likely to do
on any of these matters would be -difficult
to forecast without tak
ing a poll of the entire member
ship. The committee appointed by
Mayor LIvesley to look into the
water and power rights question,
has made certain investigations
but up to Saturday night had not
met to frame a recommendation.
At the same time, one member of
this group has stated his attitude
as being opposed to giving up any
water rights the city might have,
for he believes the city should take
over the task of furnishing water
for domestic use here, and should
get its water from the mountains.
General Sentiment Is
Is Still Uncertain
A number of other councilman
are of the same opinion, but It is
uncertain whether ihe sentiment
is general enough to bring about
a decision to put the question te
a popular vote.
This same sentiment Is certain
to have a bearing on the council's
attitude with respect to the water
company's franchise. However,
since the summons to appear was
Issued two weeks ago to the wa
ter company officials, several
councilmen have admitted that the
ultimatum was possibly not the
proper initial movement; that if
the city wishes to go into the wa
ter business. It should proceed to
lay careful plans first and nego
tiate with the present utility later.
The ordinance committee, which
has had the proposed bus fran
chise ordinance under considera
tion, had not made a report up to
Saturday night, but it was pre
dicted that the bill would be re
ported back without recommenda
tion and considered on its merits.
