Firemen Overcome
NEW YORK, Jan. 3 (AP)
A man and a woman died tonight
in a fire which swept through
the air and elevator shafts of the
annex building of the fashionable
apartment hotel Margury. Eight
firemen were overcome fighting
the blaze.
The fire was preceded by an. ex
plosion in the sub-basement.
Flames shot up through the shafts
to the roof of the 11 story build
ing, showered sparks on the pent
house. As firemen battled the
flames, a second explosion shatter
ed windows in sh'ops on the
ground floor.
Mrs. Louis Leichtenhelm, 60,
died of a heart attack after she
had walked to the street from her
apartment. Hotel attendants said
she had been ill for some time.
The body of a man believed to
be William Cass, an engineer in
the building, was found in an ele
vator wh'ich had stopped at the
fourth floor.
As smoke and flames swept
through the building, the lights
went out and the elevators stop
ped. Firemen ordered all persons
out. Police carried from the
building several persons rendered
unconscious by the smoke.
The hotel occupied the block
between Park and Madison aven
ues and 47th and 48th streets.
The fire was confined to the Mad
ison avenue side of the hotel, con
nected by a covered bridge with
the Park avenue side.
Fire Chief Ke'nlon said the fire

hibits members of the city coun
cil participating in any business
transaction with the city, accord
ing to an opinion prepared by
Fred A. Williams, city attorpey,
in response to a request from

the absence of a written contract.

AGE PENSION LAWS
The Income tax is proving to be
the most generally acceptable and
equitable form of taxation, and it
would be the proper method of
raising funds for administering
the old age pension, James W.
Mott, former member of the state
legislature and now a local attor
ney, told the members of the Sa
lem Lions club at Friday's lunch
eon. The old age pension, Mr. Mott
said in resuming the discussion he
began at the luncheon a week ear
lier, is certain to come because
the problem of the indigent poor
is steadily increasing.
This is no fault of anyone of
anything excepting the economic
and industrial system, said Mr.
Mott. The average man will be
dependent on someone relatives
or t he puMic if he lives beyond
the age of 65, fie added, quoting
statistics to prove his point.
Out of 100 men 25 years old.
36 will die before the age of 65,
one will be wealthy, four will be
well-to-do, five will be Just able
to support themselves and 54 will
be wholly or partly dependent.

Asa Fisher, detective sergeant
on the Salem police force, ran In
to some Incitement when he went
out to 1462 Mission street Fri
day afternoon to serve a Justice
court warrant, charging non
support of dependents, on J. E.

weapon in menacing fashion.
Fisher, who can still recall his
football career at Willamette

caught the hammer on the down
ward swing and overpowered
Barker. But he had a fight on
his hands all the way from Bar
ker's home to the police station.
Barker, according to the offi

the desk sergeant said later the
man was still too drunk to be
taken into justice court that day.

SANTA MONICA. Cal., Jan. S.
(AP) Efforts to raise the
wreckage of two motion picture
camera planes, believed to contain
the bodies of seven of the ten men
who died in their midair colli
sion yesterday, from 318 feet of
water off point San Vincente were
discontinued with darkness to
night. The trawler Salt, with its grap
pling hook fastened in the wreck
age, alone remained at the scene,
to insure the location of the
wreckage tomorrow, while coast
guard, naval and privately owned
mine sweepers,, tugs and fishing
boats, put into port, planning to
resume the work at dawn.
The wreckage was discovered
about noon by the barge tender
Daisy M. of Redondo Beach, and
the speedboat Diana, from Ven
ice, which were dragging the Pa
cific 'ocean bottom two miles off
shore. Above-navy airplanes dron
ned, nearer shore a huge fleet of
small craft criss-crossed with
dragging hooks.
The Daisy M.. first struck the
wreckage and signalled to other
crafts after her hook had been
hauled in and was found to show
traces of red paint, the color of
the airplanes. Later an airplane
wheel and strut ware raised. The
planes, which fell in flames 3500
feet together, but broke apart at
the impact with the water, were
found 100 feet apart on the ocean
bottom.
' In the three Marion county dis
tricts in which transportation was
furnished school students last
year, the daily cost was: Jeffer
son, 72 cents, six mills: Aums
ville, 77 cents, one mill; and Tur
ner, 79 cents and four mills. No
tuition pupils attended the high
schools in Hubbard, St.. Paul,
Gates or Min City.
Tuition students attended Mar
ion county schools from Washing
ton, Yamhill, Benton, Clackamas,
Multnomah, Grant and Polk
counties, with Polk county paying
the . largest single tuition bill,
$7,251.34 and Yamhill paying the
smallest, $28.01, to Marlon coun
ty. Of the Marion county tuition
expenditures, the, largest sum
went to the Salem district, a to
tal of $29,788. and the smallest,
