Funeral services have not yet been completed. The remains are at the Rigdon mortuary. HIGH STREET SPAN One more of the major projects of Salem's extensive bridge pro gram will be ready for perman ent use within a few weeks, it was indicated Monday when Walter Law, street commissioner reported that the paving crew will be ready Wednesday to begin work on the east half of the High street fill. Although only the east half will be paved this year, that section is 27 feet wide, which will te suffi cient to handle ordinary traffic for the time being. The west half will not be paved until next spring, as the fill on that side will require additional time to settle. After the paving is laid, it will have to set the usual length of time, so that opening of the street is not yet imminent. The plank base for pavement between the Oregon Electric tracks has already been laid, and the fine grading done on the remainder of the street. Preliminary engineering work for the North Commercial street bridge over North Mill creek is be ing done by City Engineer Hugh Rogers and his staff, but the actu al plans have not yet ' -en started. Before this bridge is built, right of way to permit of a full width bridge will have to be obtained. The city already owns two strips of land on the east side, but a small section of the lot occupied by the old cider plant will probably have to be purchased, and possibly a strip on the west side. Nearly aM of this property, however, lies in the swale, several feet below street level, and little difficulty is anticipated, in obtaining right, of way. FIRE DEPARTMENT FAST Within three minutes of the time that Fred Magnus reported fire In the Pauline Josse home at 332 North Church street, the fire department was playing water on the flames in the attic, after hav ing spread a canvas to prevent damage to the lower floors. Only a small portion of the roof of the house was damaged. Magnus In cidentally held insurance on the bouse, and had a crew replacing the damaged portion early Monday morning. PORTLAND GIRL INJURED Miss Tel Kikume, of Portland, suffered Injuries to her head when cars driven by B. H. Kikume, also of Portland, and J. E. Fitzgerald, of Salem, collided at 17th and Market streets Sunday afternoon, Mr. Kikume reported to the police station. Fitzgerald reported that Kikume, who was driving east on Madison street, swung north into Kth street, taking the right-of-way from Fitzsgerald and hitting the Fitzgerald car on the left front fender.

He was fined $10. i ctia 9HE FINISHED SHORTLY 1 DART NDUSTRY Mt. Angel Cooperative Plant Successful Says Cham ber Speaker Encouraging example of the re sults which may be obtained through organizing the dajry in dustry Is being set by the Mt. An gel Cooperative creamery, it was reported at Monday's luncheon of the Salem chamber of commerce, discussion at which was devoted to this topic, by Manager Wettwer of the creamery. Receipts of thfs creamery now amount to about $1000 daily, or close to half a million dollars a year, he stated. Through careful grading, the butter produced scores high, so that this creamery finds a ready market outside the state and. ships out more than half of its product. Utilization of by products, started within the last year, has added 20 per cent to the creamery's income. Encouraging more farmers to build up dairy herds meets with obstacles here, said Mr. Wittwer, for the very reason that the land is so productive. Many of the other states which have developed dairying so highly, have been forced to it as the only paying Industry. Many farmers in this county have reduced their dairy herds in order to specialize in flax or hop production. Oregon, lacking organization of this Industry except in a few sec tions, is far behind other states, notably Idaho and Wisconsin, in dairying, said W. O. Ide, manager of the state chamber of commerce, in the principal address at the luncheon. Wisconsin has nearly two mil lion cows, an average of ten to each farm, and each cow produces $113 on the average annually, said Mr. Ide. Dairying supplies S2 per cent of Wisconsin's farm income. Oregon has only 218, 000 dairy cows, and the average production per cow IS much low er than in Wisconsin, so that the industry here amounts to only one-seventh of what it does In that state. Marion county has 13,776 cows producing $60 per cow, which la higher than the state average. There are three dairy cows for each farm. Conditions here are ideal for dairying, the speaker declared. He pointed out that chambers of commerce in many cities are taking the lead in fos tering cooperation along this line. Aside from this one failure to realize its possibilities, Marion county is almost Ideal in its di versified production on the land and manufacturing industries; it comes the nearest of any county in the state to a balanced pro gram, the speaker said. E HIM BACKED At least 50 Salem people should be enrolled in the course in Mod ern Industrial Relations offered by Dean Roy R. Hewitt of Willam ette in the University of Oregon Salem extension courses, says W. G. Beattie, assistant director, who was here last night for the open ing of the fall term of the exten sion classes. Twenty-nine per. sons representing 13 occupations enrolled for Hewitt's class. Of Hewitt's class Beattie said further: "If the people of Salem could realize how practical and at the same time how comprehensive this course is, the room would be crowded each Monday night. Dean Hewitt's broad knowledge of economics, law and political science, combined with his per Ml I Com 1 n c October 6 A TO A sonal observations In the indus trial field both at borne and on his recent trip to the orient, make the course highly Interesting- as well as instructive. Registrations In all classes will be held at the regular meeting hour this week, with first sessions slated tonight for Dean Frank M. Erickson'a course in Education as a State Function and P. M. Col liers pnb'le speaking class oppor tune. Townspeople may visit any of the six classes offered one ev ening without enrolling, other, wise the regular $7 fee must be paid. 1ST STAHD TELLS STORY (Continued from Page 1.) took the stand to deny the state ment by Pearson that he had "fre quently expressed the hope that the conference would not suc ceed." "Any thinking, experienced American naval officer favors an agreement," said Admiral Reeves, "for a fair, just and equitable lim itation of navies. I never expressed the hope that the Geneva naval limitations conference would fail. I never entertained such a hope. "American naval officers in the event -of war want an equal chance in battle. They recognize that a naval limitations agreement is the only means by-which this equality can be realized." For the first time, the commit tee received today the much talked about document purporting to be the Scotland Yards record of Shearer. It also heard for the first time the story of the quarrel in 1928 between Shearer and the ship builders. Shearer said that then Clinton L. Bardo, president of the New York Shipbuilding corporation and one of his Geneva employers, told him that Frank B. Kellogg, then secretary of state, had sent word to the Bethlehem Shipbuilding of ficers that unless they god rid of Shearer the department of justice would go to court with its $15, 000,000 war claims suit against the Bethlehem Steel corporation. Questioned by Chairman Short ridge, the witness sometimes would reply almost with a speech. He mentioned freely the names of Charles M. Schwab and other men of prominence as among those he had been associated with or had talked with. He said he had dis cussed with Schwab employment with the shipbuilders for a mer chant marine publicity campaign In November, 1926. The steel mag nate previously had told the com mute he did not recall any such meeting. Asked about the report that he was a German spy, Shearer denied it and produced his life's history. He referred, however, to one of the witnesses before the commit tee as a "British spy" and as a "British stool piegon." He was un sparing in his references to the ship builders whom he charged with having used him and then having east him aside. SCHOOL POSTPONED The Brier Nob school will be the last in the county to open the 1929-30 school year, according to reports so far tiled with the coun ty superintendent, who has been notified that this district has post poned opening school until Mon day, October 14. Most of the school students in that district will be occupied in the prune fields un til that time. FRINK FINER f 10 E. J. Frink, of Seattle, was ar rested and fined $10 for reckless driving Monday.

Pantages testified he had spent many hours with his attorneys, but their discussions centered about the trial of his wife, and sel dom touched "my affairs." Pan tages also testified he lost 20 pounds through worrying about his wife during her three weeks trial. Effort to Postpone Trial Not Successful Superior Judge' Charles Fricke. who will preside at the trial, ruled there was insufficient proof that public opinion had been so in flamed against Pantages that be could not receive a fair trial in Los Angeles, and there was cause for delay. Joe Ford, Pantages' attorney, said after the hearing the defense was as near prepared as possible without an extension of time. He predicted no jury would be accept ed before the close of the week. The district attorney, who with his "chief deputy, Robert P. Stew art, will prosecute the case, also Indicated he expected several days to pass before a jury was ap proved.
