June 17 (AP) Following the reported disappearance 'of several pieces of valuable jewelry worn by Mrs. Bae Hutton, Portland divorcee, who died at a hotel here yesterday, Joha Weicand. Bald by police to hate been ber companion on a prolonged drinking bout, waa held for questioning today. A rolice report snowed Mrs. Hatton had been treated for alco holism Saturday and pronounced out of danger. Continued drinking that night however, doctors said, proved fatal. Relatives of the dead woman reported the disappearance of the Jewelry today and Weig and's detention followed. Welgand, Portland salesman, and Mrs. Hutton, police learned, registered at the-hotel last Friday under the name of Mr. and Mrs. George Richter. The salesman ad. mltted to detectives today that he had been given the rings valued at fl.500 . by Mrs. Hutton .to pawn. Later, he declared, he redeemed the rings and turned them over to their owner. No trace of the Jewel ry W pawn tickets could be found after both his and Mrs. Hutton's effects had been searched. The investigation was under taken on telegraphic requests from Mrs. E. L. Johnson, of Portland, mother of tbe dead woman. An autopsy revealed tbe woman had died from a complication of chron ic organic ailments, aggravated by over-indulgence in alcohol. A friend of Mrs. Hutton told police that Wiegand and the Portland woman had been living at another hotel but moved Friday. At that seemed very 111. CRIME WAVE HERE BERLIN, June 17 (AP) MissMary Allen, commander la chief of tbe British policewomen, spick and span in a natty dark uniform and shining boots, made short shrift of the American crime wave problem during today's ses sion of the Women's International Suffrage alliance. "There is too much sentimental rubbish," she said decisively. "We are afraid of this cry .that youth must be free. Nonsense. No one has a right to Te free at tbe ex pense of others. Shall we sacri fice the law-abiding majority for the freedom of the lawbreaklng minority? We must have order." As a first step for the United States Miss Allen suggested "get, your policewomen into uniform.1 It's a deterrent." , I After receiving a message of greeting from Mrs. Carrie Chap man Catt and cabling her in reply, the day sessions heard reviews of progress in women's equality dur ing the past 25 years.

STATE GR(yVYXH SHOWN . , Development of This" Valley in Offing FARM RELIEF TO HELP EDITOR'S NOTE A contributor to The Statesman points out In the following article, the great growth which Ilea before the Willamette valley. Repre- sentation of tbe federal farm board from this section of the northwest is urged by the writer. PORTLAND. June 17. (Spe cial to The Statesman.) There has been a growing belief on the part of the people of Oregon that the people of Portland and the rest of the state must develop hand in hand. In other words, the de velopment of all the state outside of Portland will alone develop that city. Controversies over freight rates between Portland and other large western cities, no matter how disposed of, will not develop the rest of the state. De velopment of the producers of lumber, farm products, fisheries and mine products, whether from the east, south or nortly will help the rest of the state tfnd thus build greater cities. Easier ac cess for raw materials to the cities having manufacturing plants that can convert that raw material into products to be sold to the rest of the world, will make Oregon a greater and richer state. Com merce into Portland from the en tire Columbia basin, including di rect access to Idaho, Montana, Utah and eastern Washington, will build the interior and the cities having ports and outlets to the markets of the world together. Sol additional transportation and or ganizations, opening the interior to more producers of more raw materials, coming into the manu facturing and shipping centers. must be the subject of united ef forts and thought by leaders for development of city and state. Airline Highway North An international highway start ing with an airline from Salem to Portland, via Cbampoeg across a bridge built by federal highway funds, saving seven to ten miles for the entire Willamette valley traffic, direct through the Tuala tin, valley to Portland and ship ping cities north and south. Such construction programs will be opening doors for tbe big future ahead of Oregon on the lines of a greater state. The airline high way, and bridging the Willamette river by federal aid, is in the cards with leaders like Ralph Wil liams, Senator McNary, Governor Patterson, and the broad-minded policies of the Oregon state high way commission, and financial leaders taking big views of de veloping and building up the in terior like the greater Columbia basin and the five million acres of richest farming lands in the world, only partly and a small partly cultivated in the Willam ette valley right at the doors of Portland homes and small farms waiting for five hundred thousand people can by -united effort with the assistance of new capital through the farm relief act of con gress and leaders like the Engi neer President, Herbert Hoover, make a future for Oregon equal to any western state. Develop a Great Valley What should six years of strug gle and education for farm relief by the federal government and the department of agriculture mean to the ten counties of the Willam ette valley? With a man like Herbert Hoover raised to young manhood In Salem, the heart of $6.00 per cord. . : The X 1 A the valley, and knowing the pos sibilities for home making, cli matic advantages, and natural productivity, in forests, grain, fruits, and special lines of crops like flax, and richer crops like flower seeds and bulbs, equal to the richest countries in the world like Holland, and dairying sur passing even the best dairy and cheese regions 4n Europe, like Denmark, and closest to the great consuming markets of the world? There are no limits of production to this' section of Oregon. The Pacific northwest, including the Willamette valley, will doubtless be represented by a live member of the farm aid board of nine members to be named by Presi dent Hoover, helped in his selec tion by Senator McNary of Ore gon, and where is there a division of not one-quarter of developed agricultural territory equal to the Willamette valley? (With the ad dition of comprehensive tile drain age, irrigated lands, and mnrfom Ideas of employing fertilizing aids oy me canoaa, improved condi tions where lands can be plowed in 'winter, better drains enah. ling ranchers to get onto soil earlier in the spring and able to nanaie more cattle, with special crops like fiber flax and flax seed for linseed oil nrndnrtinn nt sugar beets. Intensifying dairying ana nreeamg cetter class sheen and Angora goats, and utilizing cheaper capital, as low as three' per cent money under liberal terms of farm relief.) New Consciousness Found The Statesman is showinr th people of Marlon county how the region known as the Willamette valley can be built up on new lines, how the city lying at Its northern outlet can be enriched by stimulating greater outnut of soil production, crops on new lines, capital put into farm im provement, usine eheaner canital and expanding manufacturing, and Dringmg more people into Oregon Dyadopting a constructive program for the ten counties and their five million acres under higher culti vation and education of the peo ple away from political exploita tion, and needless multinlicatlnn of exploiters. Each county should nave at least one newsnaner not conducted entirely for political exploitation. Is it any wonder that farmers are kept poor when me pressand the legislature serve only the office-holders and tat boosters, expending their time and energies inventing new forms of taxation, and multiplying only the non-producing, white-collar bri gade? The Willamette valley needs more than all else a half million laboring people who own their OWn homes and hot far- mo. kets tor all kinds of produce, and a program that will not enrich the big cities and their skin-games only.

Work delivered when promised. OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Orcgoa, TocgJaV. Mondng, crashed Thursday morning at Old milling products, fruit and can nery products, livestock, dairying and 'cheese, sheep and goats, and woolen and mohair products, west ern Oregon and Washington, with Portland as a market center under the farm relief act, should be a district with an efficient member on the board. Farm relief with the foregoing line bt soil produc tion, including the Willamette valley, would mean caring for the crops of ten to twenty million acres of the richest soils in the west, aggressive manufacturing cities to manufacture and export the products of the soil nnder the most favorable advantages. Do not let the political and financial kings of Portland imagine that the other western leaders and bank ers will be asleep or overlooking anything, in corralling the capi tal and political advantages to be gained by other cities and pro ducing sections nnder the farm re lief board and the working ma chinery of the S500.000.000 cap ital made available. Senator Mc Nary and Congressman Hawley, not to overlook President Hoover, sprung from the Willamette val ley, will see to it that this great producing region of the west is not represented by dead men in the organization of the cooper atives that will protect and pro mote the rich area that has Port land as a center where rails and shipping meet. Edwin T. Reed of Oregon State college addressed the Monmouth high school graduating class Fri day night on the subject, "The Promised Land." In his versatile and entertaining manner, Mr. Reed outlined the promised land as the vast realm of science, and research, touching upon ciany leading professions in which un discovered opportunities await the persistent student. His talk was prefaced by intro ductory remarks made by F. M. Roth, principal; and by Miss Edith Clark, faculty member, who call ed attention to the high percent age of graduates from this school in comparison to neighboring high schools with much larger enroll ment. Road Work is Delayed Due to Heavy Showers Rainfall of the past 48 hours has delayed road construction in the county according to Deputy Roadmaster Johnson. Only half of the crews were operating Mon day. The county commissioners util ized the day to look over the coun ty's rock crushing plant at Stayton which will be opened up about July 1. Construction of the mar ket road in the Siegmund district as well as widening and improv ing of the road from Stayton to West Stayton will utilize all the rock crushed at the Stayton plant. MONMOUTH SCHOOL HEAD EDWIN T. ED That Pleases TITLE UP IS GAUSE OF SUIT 53 Acres -of Land in Marion County Subject. of Cir cuit Court Action A tangled web of human events Is spun in a complaint filed Mon day in circuit court - Emma Condit. the plaintiff, asks that her title to S3 acres of land in the county be made se cure and names Charles L. Martin and Mary K. Martin as defen dants in the action. A deed which is illegal in the manner in which it was drawn as well as the means used in secur ing it, is now held by the defen dants, Mrs. Condit alleges. She asks the court that tbsi deed be set aside in favor of her own claim. In June. 192S, Ross Condit. her husband, and herself were forc ed to sign a deed by the Martins and Frank Hall Reeves, Mrs. Con dit claims, under threat that if he failed to do so the defendants would beat and generally mistreat Condit who was alleged to have performed an illegal act with the dnrhtr of the Martins. Condit was further threatened by the Martins who are said to have threatened criminal prosecution if he did not immediately deed over the property and leave the state. Under such compunctions, the deed was drawn. The Instrument was not witnessed nor were prop er acknowledgements made, ac cording to the complaint. Subsequently Mrs. Condit ob tained a divorce and the S3 acres of property were conveyed to her by the court. She holds that the Martins have an invalid claim and she asks that the court restore the land to her. WELLINGTON, New Zealand, June 17 (AP) Almost the whole archipelago rocked today for a full minute with a strong earthquake that took at least sev en Tives. Officials tonight were not confident that the full loss of life was yet known for several isolated (fommunitiee had not reported. More severe shocks have been felt here In recent years but they were of much shorter duration. This city was entirely undamaged and in Christ church there were only a few cracked chimneys. The shock seems to have been most severe at Greymouth, on the northwest coast of South Island where scarcely a chimney was left standing in the vicinity and the railway was damaged for about a mile by fall of rock. Most of the fatalities were due to block ing of the Westland river by a huge landslide. Tbe miners in the coal pits had an anxious time but all emerged safely. (Continued from Page 8.) Marx smiled slowly. "No, I don't." he said finally. "Then you're only arresting him to give the real criminal a chance to expose himself?" "Sure." "Well, then, tell me this, In spector: Do you think that the man who killed Sewell killed the butler, or are you regarding them as two separate cases?" "Well," said Marx, "It's past thinking about it now. They've studied the bullets in each case. The markings show they came from the same revolver. So It's a cinch the same man did it." "And that man was hidden In the apartment while we were there." Marx nodded at the doctor rue fully. "Don't I know It!" "But where?" EiMlE ROCKS NEW ZEIL1I IE nan MB! ' Jim 1929 "As nearly as I can make oat, in the butler's room "The the butler knew If "I guess he knew lot more than he told us," growled Marx. "It ought to be a lesson to tho'se who.dont come clean- with the police. It pays to come dean." "Tea," agreed the doctor dryly. "That's the great moral lesson in volved. But what is your next step?" "How do I know?" demanded Marx. "Everybody's busy on some angle of the ease. We've got fif teen men working on It. All I can do is to wait and see." "What's happening to Miss Pennell?" asked the doctor. "Nothing much." said Marx. "Ton .know," ventured the doe tor, "I think I'd like a talk with the young lady." "Go ahead." invited Marx as the two separated. So the doctor hailed a cab and asked to be driv en to a highly proper ait-women's hotel where Miss Pennell was stopping. He waited for her in the lounge, and when she appeared. be found a corner in the writing room where they could talk un disturbed. The doctor observed shadows under tbe girl's eyes. Ap parently the strain of the past few days was too much for her. He sympathized with her predica ment. "Oh, it's been too awful!" she cried, and the doctor could see she was trying hard not to weep. "Evertyhlng's smashed now, and I know he didn't do It." "You are not alone in that," said the doctor. The police know he didn't do it" "Really!" Her eyes shone sud denly with new hope. "Oh, yes," the doctor assured her. "He'll be out of the Tombs is 24 hours." "Oh, you don't know what It means to me!" Now the girl be gan to weep softly in relief. "I think you can trust me," said the doctor. "I've no desire, as you see, to get anything out of you but the truth. And since; Edison is innocent, the truth can only help him." "But what can I tell you?" "For one thing, how your clothes happened to be in Sew ell's closet. You don't mind my bluntnese?" "No," said the girl. "I know that it looks too awful for me. As if I but I tell you. I don't know. I've, only epoken to Sewell several times, and I never paid tbe least bit of attention to him. Once at a party, everyone came to tell me how awfully impressed he was with me, but I never Hked him from the moment I saw him, and his approval didn't mean anything to me. Finally he came over to me to talk, and he began to talk clothes. He mentioned a certain dressmaker. I'd Just come to New York, and I had meant to get some clothes, so I went there. I ordered some gowns, but they were never delivered to me. I called up several times, but I nev er got a very satisfactory answer. I Just didn't bother. I went to an other shop, and got my clothes there. I don't know how Sewell got hold of them unless " SPEND A DAY SAFEGUARDING THE WORK OF A 'LIFETIME Who Will Take Your Place in Your Son's Life?
